Court Notes.

Yesterday was a hot one in court.
The petit jurors are having a
"cinch" this term.
New seats and of a more comfort
able make are to be provided for the
petit jurors. Sitting several hours
each day on straight-back chair,
with cushions hardened by many
years use, does not add to the COM
fort of the average juror.
Owing to the fact that Judge
Boynton is one of the Commissioners
in the Scofeld estate he was dis
qualified from sitting as Associate
Judge during the Foss-Scofeld trial.
Judge Parker performed the duties of
both Assistants in a very acceptable
manner.

SAVINGS VS.. NATIONAL BANKS.

At intervals for some time, through
the columns Of his home paper, Mr.. II
p. McClary Of Windsor has been deal.
ing hard blows at the national banks
in Vermont that have so-called savings
departments. Mr. McClary is a man
OF strength and prominence in his
town which he has represented once,
at least, in the Vermont House, sery-
ing there as a member OF the commit
tee on banking. He is treasurer OF the
Windsor Savings bank, an institution
with assets of almost a million dollars.
Mr.. McClary's standing is such, there
fore, that what he says deserves a re-
spectful hearing.
The points that he makes against
savings departments of national banks
are
That they afford opportunity for I'M
limited dishonesty and tax lodging.
inasmuch as they make no returns OF
their deposits to state officers.
That in consequence the state is
heavily deirauded, the national banks
paying no state corporation taxes on
their deposits.
That from business point of view
it is unfair TO compel savings banks
and trust companies organized under
state laws to pay the corporation
tax, while requiring nothing from
national banks that engage in the same
line Of work.
That people who deposit with saw
ing banks share in the profits, while
those who patronize rational banks
receive a lower rate OF interest gener-
ally, and the profits go to the banks
themselves.
That national bank officials are
given wider latitude in making loans
20 themselves than those OF savings
banks, and that consequently those
who entust their savings to the for
mer are taking hazards.
That the restrictions as to invest
ments are also liberal to the point OF
danger in the case OF national banks.
Aud other points Mr.. AIcClary
makes with force and directness.
Now il is quite possible that the
national banks, many Of which In Yer
mont have savings departments. are
in position to make a complete
answer; It is possible that Mr. Ne
Clary being a savings bank official en-.
terains some bias in the matter. The
point is that il the national banks have
a defence the time is ripe for them 10
make &c.
Mr. McClary intimates that an at
tempt will be made TO prevent national
banks from advertising or IN any way
using the word savings in connec-
ton with their business bv legislative
enactment, and the public would wei
omcfmtherenhgbtenmento on the sub-
icol 10 order that it may deal with .be
case nteliigeutly when it comes up.

There are any number

You can buy cheap
cutters that do that, but
a cutter should be made
to stand up under hard
usage. If it only "stays

beyond question that Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy of great merit, otherwise it
could not produce such marvellous re-
suits among sick and ailing women.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-

ferer with womb trouble, which caused me
severe pain extreme nervousness and FREE
quent headaches from which the doctor
failed to relieve me- tried Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, and within q
short time felt better, and after taking five
bottles of it | was entirely cured. therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a
splendid uterine tonic. 1t makes the monthly
periods regular and without pain and what
blessing it is to find such remedy after so
many doctors fail to help you. l am pleased
to recommend it to all suffering women"-

HORRORS OF THE WAR
The Truth Might Cause Humanity to
Intervene.

The Truth Might Cause Humanity to
Intervene.
ITO my sanguine and perhaps Wis
ionary MUD" writes Stephen Bonsal,
in the New York Herald, at seems
quite possible that were the blood
curdling incidents Of the great tragedy
OF the Liao-Tung depicted as they &C.
cur from day to day and from hour to
hour by the vivid, dispassionate pen
of an eyewitness, the fathers and
mothers Of those who are being used
SO recklessly as cannon fodder would
raise a wall which might be heard
around the world-which ought at
least to find an echo in every human
heart-which might arouse the world
and cause shuddering humanity to in
tervene and save the unburied bodies
of these gallant men from the carrion
fate and stay the torture Of the thou
sands and thousands of wounded Rus
sian soldiers who, mangled and torn
by shot and shell, must suffer ampu-
tation and other surgical operations
without the alienation Of anesthetics.
"Of course, in time this tale of hOr-
ror will be told, and another chapter
added to the long Indictment which
civilization brings against the sense
less practices of war. There is, 1t
would seem, divinity which defeats
the secrecy, the reserve which war Of
fees adore, and hence we know that
in one of these trenches, in the midst
with a charmed life because of the
indispensable message he bears, some
young lieutenant of artillery who will
yet relate to a shuddering world the
story of Port Arthur, as TOlstOy re-
vealed the shame and human degra-
dalton suffered at Sebastopol. And
perhaps in the noisOme and unsanitary
subterranean galleries in which the
wounded are huddled there is a sur
geon who will survive to tell the story
Of this shame in all it's shocking de-
tails, as truthfully as Smollett painted
the story Of the yellow fever camps
at Cartagena, when SO many loyal
North Americans died in the service
of the English King.
Seeking for a parallel to the daily
tragedy of Port Arthur, the story Of
Sebastopol suggests itself, not only
because it was hitherto the greatest
siege Of modern history, nor yet be-
cause here again the Russians were
on the defensive and gave a notable
exhibition Of their proves in this line.
Indeed, it is not a farfetched conclu-
sion to say that the siege Of Port Ar
thur is a direct consequence Of the
siege of Sebastopol, for had not the
Crimean war, of which the siege of
Sebastopol was the most striking in
cident, resulted in the practical bot
ting up of the Russians in the Black
sea and in cutting them off from the
expansion of their sea power in this
direction, they would not have ad-
vanced with such tremendous leaps
and bounds across the continent Of
Asia or succeeded in constructing an
other temple of war upon the promon-
tory of the Regent Sword peninsula,
which juts out, if not into the sea Of
Japan, at least into waters which the
Japanese deem it necessary for their
very national existence that they
should rule supreme"
