deep water navigation via the Connecti-

dispatches from Washington showing the
probability OF large government appro-

The fact is that at the present time the
only way to get over the Enfield flats,

a boat Of 80 inches draft Is to get out and

Upon the question Of Mrs. Rogers's
mental or moral responsibility, the facts
are that Mrs. Rogers was ably defended
at her trial that her leading counsel was
a member Of the Legislature OF 1904. and
a member Of the judiciary committee,
and. while the bill for the Communication
Of Mrs Rogers's sentence was introduced
the first week Of the session and not
finally acted on till the last week, no
question as to her sanity or mental re-
sponsibility or Of commission OF en-
quiry was raised till after the legislature
had refused to vote to commute.

Mrs. emckensderter's spectacular Antlo.

From a paragraph printed in our state
news columns it will be seen that Mrs.
Blickensdcrfer Of Connecticut a self-ap-
pointed custodian just now of the judi
cial and executive affairs OF Vermont
has declared her intention to appeal to
our supreme court to reopen the case OF
Mary Rogers mainly on the ground that
prejudice against her because she was a
Roman Catholic Influenced her trial. The
Judges of the supreme court can be de-
pended on to treat Mrs. Rogers's case on
grounds of absolute and impartial justice,
but in this connection the following para
graph from the Bennington Banner is
very interesting;
Mrs. Blckensderfer's claim that Mary
Rogers's conviction was due i'm any degree
to prejudice of the jury on account. of her
religious belief is so absurd as to dis
credit Mrs. Bickensderfcr's efforts in ad-
vance. There was no prejudice against
Mrs. Rogers because of her religion for
nobody knew al the time of the trial that
she had any religious belief One of the
best known of the Bennington clergymen
has since told the Banner that he made
a careful investigation and could not find
that Mary Rogers was ever identified with
any religious faith AS far as the Banner
remembers Mrs. Rogers's religion or alb
sence of religion was not even known
during her trial and the bringing ii for
ward now looks like a spectacular antic
OF Mrs. Blckensderfer to attract atten-
tion to herself.

Or. 9. :. Caverly. president OF the state
board of health, is being properly banged
for his policy OF suppressing the news
concerning the epidemic OF contagious
diseases in Rutland lie probably thinks
he is helping the business interests Of the
city when he is simply spreading and
strengthening the suspicion that the sit
uation there is serious The public at
large have right to know just what the
conditions are. and there ought to be some
means Of reaching this ofiicious official
to compel him to state the facts 1t isn't
exactly up to date to have hush and gag

CRUSADE AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS.


burlington Free Press.l
Vermont has made an excellent begin
ming in its crusade against tuberculosis,
and the commission appointed by Gov.
Bell will continue the educational work
announced in order to prepare the way
for more effective legislation by the next
Legislature. 1t is interesting in this con-
nection to note that other states as well
Vermont are adopting measures similar to
that instituted here, the action proposed
In Pennsylvania being particularly worthy
of attention.
In the Keystone state concerted move
ment against tuberculosis has been begun
by the combined medical societies, and
the legislature is to be asked to appro-
pirate not less than $500, 900 to be used in
establishing sanitaria i'm the state forestry
preserves and for the appointment of a
commission of physicians to have charge
of the provision of such camps, as well
as the care of patients to be treated there.
1t is significant that Vermont should
lead state like Pennsylvania i'm an inn
portant work of this character but as a
matter of fact ii was stated at the meet
ing at which the movement was inau-
grated that up to the present time that
commonwealth had provided no adequate
accommodation for the care of its tuber-
culoss sick. An interesting point brought
out was that experience has shown that
the great majority of cases of incipient
tuberculosis can be permanently cured by
properly directed open air treatment. The
success of work of this character in the
Adirondack region and elsewhere would
seem to vindicate this declaration, and
1t will not be many years before every
state will recognize the Importance OF
providing for scientific efforts to stamp
out tuberculosis.

Senator Platt OF Connecticut. at the
dedication OF the statue OF the late SEN
ator John j. ingalls, OF Kansas in the

A species of acacia has been discovered
in the far East which is one of the
strangest plants known. At sunset it
closes its leaves and flowers and seeming

Jared or hit 1t will tremble violently, and
If continually disturbed emits an odor
which gives a person a violent headache.

Mir Hotclkiss was Esbered around to the henuery and when the rooster saw tue stranger he Tapped his wings and crowr,l half q dozen times. while the hens held theie beads iu the air and cacklcd in q way which seemed tO say. 'IIcre-we arc. glad to sec you.' Mr Moran consid- cred the Identification good enough fot ali practical purposes and for the ihird time the chickcus were thrust into a bag and given ride. Mr Hotchkiss Was very thankful fog inc interest taken in the fowl by the police and re- marked as he drove away that he never expected to see one of them. dead pr alive. He would like to form the ac- quaintancc of the man who entered his ro0p and made off with them. nut hc does pet think the gentleman ever viii reveal his identity.

THE PosT0FFIcE.
Large Member Called This Morning
 to Exchange Their Keys,

Postmaster Guernsey kept his word to remove from the old quarters Satur- day night and Sunday and be ready to do business in the new block oI. Grand street at | o'clock this morning. Everybody connected with the depart. n.ent had to do some hustling. but the boys, and the girls. too. moved about with remarkable rapidity and at the appointed time everything was ill it's own place. and people who called there this morning marveled much how fit ting could have been accomplished with so little confusion. The removal made q marked change in the appear ance of things about the center. the crowds usually seen rushing to and from the Odd Fellows building on North Main street all heading the othei way and for a time the string of peO- pie at the window where the keys were was so long one could not help thinking of the time when everybody stood in fine in the postotfice and acted as his and her own mail carrier. This won't kill the other end of the town.' said q prominent manufacturer to Democrat reporter on the granite slepS ol tue new OHlce, Dul l uO tnlIk that it will balance things up and be better all around. The new hotel and the green will always be big attrac- tions, and if the postotfice had stayed where it was I think this end of the city would suffer some, and it was a wise move to locate here.'' This is about the way nearly everybody looks at 1t. although one would think by the appearance of the place to-day that an opera house or some big circus had just opened its doors on Grand street; but this was due in measure to the number of persons who wanted to OK change keys and the fact that many. desired to drop in to have d look at the new building. Notwithstanding all that was said about the change of loca. tion in the office. several forgot them selves and went to the old stand for their mail. This will continue for q time but folks will get over it after a few days. This being Lincoln day, the office closed at noon.
