Some Long Words.

Has the longest word in the English
language been discovered? Disbropor-
is sufficiently ample Ac-
cOrding to some authorities it is the
longest legitimate word in the diction-
aries; but its supremacy seems to be
menaced by certain words discovered by
the London Chronicle Thus, one By
field, a divine who published a treatise
on Colossians in 1915 says: The inn
mensity of Christ's divine nature hath
Observation-Disclosures in respect of
place" This is not the longest English
word that has found its way in print.
In the recent biography of Dr. Benson is
an entry from the Archbishop's diary to
the effect that the Free Kirk of the
North of Scotland are strong antidis-
establishmentarians"- letters.
Another word mentioned by the Chron-
icle which is not likely to be heard often
in ordinary conversation is "honorih-
cabilitudinity." The lexicon contains many
monstrosities, but none more portentious
than the last named.

e. L. Waterman for Judge Of Vermont
Supreme Court

A petition to Gov. Mccullough has been
signed by all the members of the Wind
ham county bar asking him to appoint Il.
| L. Waterman of Brattleboro to fill the va
cancy on the Vermont supreme bench,
when one may occur through the resigna-
tion of Judge Wendell p Stafford. who
has been appointed a justice of the su-
preme court of the District Of Columbia.
Judge Waterman has had a long and
| honorable record as a lawyer and as a
man of business and public affairs. He
was admitted to the bar in 1868, first
practiced in Wilmington, from which town
! he was sent to the general assembly in
| 1867 and 1868. In 1870 he moved TO ia
maica. He was states attorney in 1872
and state senator in 1876, when he was
chairman of the judiciary committee. In
1856 he moved with his family to Brat
tleboro, joining in partnership at that
time with James L. Martin, who
is now United States district at
torney In 1891 he was appointed special
United States attorney to appear for the
government in claims originating from
the civil war. In recent years he has
been judge Of probate, has been honored
by his colleagues in election to the pres
iuehcy OF the Vermont par association
ana mas peeh counsel IN many important
Ia" cases. lie represented Brattleboro
with apliitN In the legislature of l'Oo'
when he was chairman OF the judiciary
committee. He was appointed by Judge
IL. H. wheeler OF the United states CIR
cult court special master to conduct the
sale Of the Central Vermont railway in
bankruptcy and was senior counsel in
the SUCCESSFUL termination OF the case
concerning the thompson fund.- from
which the town OF Brattleboro now has an
income annually OF some $4,000.
There Will be no lack of candidates for
the place which Judge Stafford will leave
George NJ. Powers of Morrisville, Harry
BIodgett OF -. Johnsbury and w. w.
Miles OF Barton are already in the field,
and Judge Butler of Rutland. w. r. c.
Suckney of Bethel, John Young of New
men who are available.
The only objection which can be urged
against Judge Waterman will be that
Of his residence. 1t will be pointed out
by friends OF other candidates. that Judge
j. NJ. Tyler OF the supreme court Is also
resident OF Brattleboro, and it will be
urged that the appointment ought to go
To some other section Of the state.
There are precedents for the selection
OF two judges from one county. The most
recent case of this kind was in the APP

W. r. Hearst carried the Iowa Demo-
cratic convention Wednesday by a ma
jorty of $50. Hearst resolutions were
adopted and delegates were instructed to
vote for him as a unit Hearst carried
the city of Chicago Tuesday against the
faction headed by Mayor Harrison, get
ting 227 delegates to 1875 for Harrison.
Hearst is likely to dominate the Illinois
convention, and, while his nomination at
St Louis is not probable. he may hold
the balance of power and be able to die
tate the final selection of a standard bear
er.

The Essential End of All Educational
Training.
[Boston Transcript. ]

The new basis on which scholarships
are to be awarded a the Northwestern
university, Chicago, is another of the sig
nificant straws showing the tendency of
higher educational advance. Instead of
taking class standing alone, or the result
of competitive examinations, as indica-
tive of a students eligibility, the essen
tial requirements in future are to be
more inclusive and to go beyond the nee
essary intellectual ability, to cover phys
ical condition, good manners and dis
position, force of character, powers of
leadership and qualities of manhood
Among the last-named are listed energy
truth, courage, temperance chastity, de-
votion to duty, sympathy for the weak,
kindineSs unselishness and good fellow
ship as being the principal elements to
be considered in the selection of appi-
cants for scholarships The faculties of
the high schools and academies, it ap-
pears, are to nominate the eligible can
didates who are to be selected with a
view to their probable fitness for public
service after leaving college. The plan
savors strongly of the Rhodes scholar
ships, which has struck the keynote of
character requirement for free higher ed
ucatonal opportunity. and it is evidently
a permanent form of the evolution of
character culture in our educational in
stituuons. which is now looked on by
all progressive educators as the insist
ent desideratum and essential end OF all
educational training.

In the Republican National convention
495 votes will be required to nominate. AL
ready, with the convention seven weeks
distant, 400 delegates had been instructed
to vote for the nomination of Theodore
Roosevelt. The President, is, therefore,
within five votes of having a majority of
the convention instructed for him. So
far 1872 uninstructed delegates have been
chosen. of whom l6 were named by con-
ventions that endorsed him strongly Only
366 delegates remain to be chosen, and of
these probably 300 will receive instruc-
tions to nominate the President.

The st. Adams Messenger quotes "one
who has seen many years of national po-
litical conventions and participated ac-
lively in some of them" as saying that
the errand at Chicago this year should
not cost a delegate for all necessaries
and luxuries, over 800" Ey buying a
cut rate ticket travelling in day coaches,
sleeping in lodging houses. and eating
broken victuals from a paper bag or at
a lunch counter, a delegate might cut un-
der the sum named by the Messenger. But
delegates to a Republican national con-
vention don't travel or live with the idea
of getting off cheaply. In placing the ex-
penses of a delegate at several hundred
dollars The PhRnX used information given
by two men from the southern part of
the state who were delegates to national
conventions Perhaps. however, Frank
lin county men do things differently from
men from Windham county.

For a Creamery,

A Mr.. Prick from Iowa, is here
trying to organize creamery

quite a business, and has estab-
lished a number of creameries.
He is trying to induce Minoters
to take stock in the company
and the Independent believes that
anyone having a little spare
money can get good interest on
it by investing in a concern OF
this kind. There is no reason
why a creamery will not pay

tails of the torpedo encounter between

pleasing to the 1000 people who passed

Delay in Landing Japanese Troop.

CHEZ FOO, March 15.-It is report
ed the Japanese land forces are still
in Japan despite contrary statements.
Those in Korea are merely for garr-
son purposes to hold the Russians in
check along the Yalu. The n2air army
is destined for some point along Lac
Tung gulf, but is waiting the final dis
position of the Port Arthur Russian
fleet. The threatening factor is il
transport matters. As Admiral Togos

emily failed further delay in the .japa-

Gotham's $2,250,0O0 Hospital.

NEW YORK, March 14.-An exam
pie OF what in recent years has been
accomplished in a purely structural
and mechanical direction. for the al
deviation of injury and disease will be
revealed to the public today when
the magnificent new Mount Sinai hos
pital was opened to the public for in
spectiOn. The institution occupies an
entire block facing Central Park on the
Fifth avenue side between One Hun
dredth and one Hundred and First
streets. 1t has been several years in
building and the total cost has exceed
ed s2.250,000. Although built wholly
from the private contributions of rich
Jewish residents of the metropolis the
hospital will be open to patients of all
races and Creeds.
Aside from it's liberal allowance of
sunshine and air, unusual for such an
institution in large city. the hos
pitfalls size. considered in the light Of
the number of patients who can be
treated within the walls of the various
buildings, is perhaps its most striking
ana interesting feature. No fewer
than 500 patients can be housed III
the various wards at one time. which
is more than any other American hos
pital erected by private donations will
hold.
