Insane Patient Killed by Nurses.

Peter Durant OF Middlebury, an inmate
of the State hospital for insane at Water
bury, who was struck by two attendants
last week Tuesday, died Saturday from the
effects Of his injuries.
Dufsnt was French Canadian and
could speak or understand but little Eng
lish. lie was about so years old and WAS
admitted to the asylum October 2S. While
at dinner Tuesday, he got into trouble
with two male nurses and was struck in
the breast by both. short time after
wards, the ward physician, DR.. Bone, dis
covered that Mr.. Durant was suffering and
he made an examination. He found that
Mr.. Durant was injured and informed the
superintendent, who made an investiga-
tion, ana within twenty minutes had both
nurses, " no had left the building arrested.
He entered complaints and they were
bound over for appearance before the
grand jury in the sum OF 300 each. One
of the nurses, +. j. Dennis OF Parishville,
y. Y, secured bail and left town. The
other, whom the hospital authorities be-
lieye TO have been the most aggressive in
the assault, b. ID. Coon Of Milton, did not
get bail and IS now confined in jail at
Montpelier.
Mr.. Durant grew worse after the attack.
and DIR. Henry James was called in consul
tation. DuTant's friends in Middlebury
were notified. 1t was hoped that be would
recover, but owing to his great age and
the serious nature OF his injuries he con-
tinued to fail and died Saturday evening.
An autopsy was held Sunday at which,
besides the hospital physicians, Drs. James
and Stanley OF the village we're present,
Ii was found that the injury was the chief
cause of death. IL was found that the
breast bone and four ribs had been broken.
The death of Mr.. Durant is the first Sc
rious accident to occur at the asylum since
the new superintendent took charge. and
according TO the expressed opinion Of the
asylum authorities was a rather vicious
and uncslled- for one on the part of the
attendants. Each of the attendants at

VOMITING SPELLS.
SYMPTOMS OF A CHRONIC
STOMACH TROUBLE.

Method With Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

Few things are more weakening than
frequent vomiting spells, but IL is mis-
taken idea to treat delicate stomach with
nre-digested foods anG ferments. The

this treatment the stomach RECEIVERS tone,
helching OF gas and vomiting ceases and
the digestive organs resume their function

true. The accepted fact is that the
test as made is now regarded al
most as worthless, except to show, to
a degree not at all definite, how great
a variance there is among pupils IN the
matter OF vision and hearing. 10
class from thirty to fifty per cent OF
our pupils as deficient because they
cannot, or rather because they say
they cannot, see or hear according TO a
certain standard is wholly misleading.
Children vary in the strength OF their
ewes and ears just as they do in their
LEGS and arms. BY nature, some are
more muscular than others, but tor
that reason we would hardly call the
weaker ones deficient. There Is
reason. also, to believe that the tests
as applied do not register the true con
ditions. and that a more careful exami-
nation by experts would give an alto
oether different showing. Parents
have mostly recovered from their
alarm. and there is danger that even
the benefits of the test may be lost
through lack OF faith on the part OF
those who should give the matter OF
their children's sight and hearing at
tention.

AR9PPRoAcHMENT.

The time seems at hand for a better
understanding between the North and
the South. Conditions are ripe for 1t.
Much OF the old-time prejudice has
passed away. Each section knows the
other better than formerly, and appre-
ciates more fully the trials and per-
plexitles that each confronts.
In the past there has been too little
consideration of one by the other.
The North has been too ready to con-
denim the South for its attitude and
actions. and the South, on its part,
aware that its problems were not fully
understood. has been too resentfal and
disposed to strike back.
1t has been a real family feud. One
sister thinks the other is misbehaYing'
and loses no chance to so inform her,
and to point out what the proper
course is. The other replies, 81 am
doing as we'll as can, you don't know
anything about it, and it is none OF
your business, anyway
But OF recent years, the sisters are
beginning to appreciate each other
better; beginning to give each other
credit for good intentions, inthe mains
beginning to admit that each is hand
ling its own affairs much as the other
would, if their places were changed
beginning to comprehend that the first
step necessary to reform in any direc-
ton is the removal of the sectional
feeling that has so long hindered,
tits undeniable that the negro ques-
ton has been the main cause OF the
differences reaching back a century.
The time has now arrived when the
controlling sentiment in both the
North and South has almost met on
the same plane. The North has very
greatly moderated its views as to how
the South should treat the negro. 1t
no longer insists that he should be
treated as the equal OF the white man,
socially and politically. 1t no longer
demands a condition OF suffrage that
would mean black domination.
The South sees and responds to this
changed attitude, and is ready itself
to yield its radical position, to which
il has flown, not unnaturally, by rea-
son Of the outside pressure,
The negro question is the South's
own problem. As to the social and
political status Of the blacks, the South
must determine, and human nature Is
such that a more moderate policy is
bound to govern if the North lets the
affair alone than if il obtrudes its own
somewhat murky views.
The Vermont farmer wouldn't re-
ceive with thorough appreciation ad-
vice from the Alabamian as to maple
sugar making, nor does the South en-
JOY dictation from the North as to the
treatment Of the negro, so long as bis
natural rights are observed.

George w. Pierce, president OF the
Valley Fair association of Brattleboro,
has issued pamphlet, valuable for its
historical data, and for many Of its
recommendations bearing on the
question of the agricultural fair in
Vermont. In the matter OF the con-
duct of a successful fair, Mr.. Pierce is
well qualified to advise. But we do
not agree with him at all when he adj
vocates the appropriation of moneys
by the state for the support Of such
enterprises. 1t is apt to be a fond
idea of enthusiasts along any line that
the particular affair in which they are
interested is of just as much import
ance to all the people as il is TO some
of the people. Accordingly, it takes

arrive at the opinion that the state,
which is all the people, should back
up these enterprises with its treasury

education. But that tor these reasons

Why is it that such crime as the
"suit case mystery OF Boston appeals
so strongly to many-we may say
most readers of the daily press? Is It
an evidence of moral weakness that so
large a number of people Of all sta
tons in life, honest, law-abiding peo-
pie they are, read with avidity all the
details OF these horrible crimes, and
hunger for more? We do not think
so. The readers are shocked and hor-
rifed, but they are fascinated. The
crime is so repulsive, and so strongly
does it affect the mind, that, strange
to say, the mind Graves it. Then man
kind revels in mystery. 1t likes to
puzzle its brain in speculation as to
how so serious a thing as a capital
crime could have been perpetrated,

of the awful, tragic, mysterious ele-
ments that appeal to the readers of

like a tragedy Of the stage. and the
guilty ones must suffer the penalty, as

Defective Vision Largely a Scare.

II is the reliable opinion of Dr. o. w.
Sherwin, prominent local physician,
that blackboards and chalk have very
little to do with the defective vision Of
children as indicated by the recent eye
tests in the public schools OF the state.
The fact is that very few children have
perfect eyes, and there is, perhaps
some unnecessary alarm over the re-
suit of the examinations conducted by
the teachers, who have had no special
training Tor the work, though the tests
wee clreiully made in accordance with
the directions OF the state board OF
health. In most instances the weak
ness is slight, and, as "A general thing,
the same authority adds, it would be

dangerous as well in the case of the

defects exist, however. the use OF
glasses might be permitted in the

done is to improve the conditions as to

where improvements should be made
