DEGREES OF PRESIDENTS.
Roosevelt Away in the Lead.
With a Record
of Ten.

Even before receiving the two
doctorates conferred upon him re-
Gently Theodore Roosevelt had a
larger collection of college degrees
than any of his predecessors in the
office of President of the United
States.
Including his b. A., taken in course
at Harvard % years ago. he has now
had bestowed upon him 10 titles Of
distinction of this kind. and is priv
LEGGED to write after his name eight
Ii. ID. 5 and one l.. II. ID. This to-
tai is just twice the highest number
of honorary degree given by the col
leges of the country 10 any of his
predecessors.
Washington, jefferson and Nc
Kinley each receaved five degrees.
John Adams ard Rutherford 4. Hays
each received four. Ulysses S. Grant
received three.
Six other Presidents received two
each, seven one each and four other
of the nations Chief Magistrates
managed to end their days without
any recognition of learning or
achievements from the colleges.
The record is extremely interesting
to persons interested in statistics
of the kind and so far as known
it has never before been compiled.
Another curious fact about Mr.
Roosevelt's honorary degrees is that
their number is exactly the high
est Of such honors bestowed on
Presidents Of the United States
by any one college Harvard
and Princeton have each given the
decorate Of laws to President nine
times.
Yale has conferred the same de-
gree on Presidents six times. Brown
University, Columbia, Dartmout and
Union College have each bestowed
an Ii. d., on three Presidents.

But uneasy lies the head that wears the

there is a lack of womanly strength to bear
the burdens Of maternal dignity and duty.
The reason why so many women sink under

TEMPES1UOUS GATHERING
SPECIAL VILLAGE MEETING HAD
SPECTACULAR FINISH.
Adjournment Taken Without Accom-
plishina More Than to Declare in
Favor Of Municipal Ownership Of a
Water System-Amusing Features.

After two hours and a half OF
wrangling and discussion-most or the
time being devoted to the former-the
voters of the village OF Brattleboro. at
the special meeting In Festival hall
Monday evening. expressed themselves
in favor of municipal ownership of a
water system. decided not to bind
themselves to await the completion OF
the Sunset Lake system before taking
steps toward that end and then ad-
| journed. In other words, the village
| is In practically the same position II
was before the appointment OF the
water committee at the last annual
meeting, and unless another special
meeting Is called for the purpose OF
accomplishing something more definite
there is small likelihood that NUM-
cipal ownership of a water system VIII
| be anything more than dream Tor
| the present at least
The meeting was one Of the most
tumultuous that has taken place In
Brattleboro in recent years. Beginning
with the appearance of being a most
harmonious gathering 1t increased In
intensity until parliamentary law was
forgotten, decorum lost In the shufne
and the object in view completely
sidetracked After a unanimous vote
in favor of municipal ownership had
been passed. a resolution to await
action until the completion of the
Sunset Lake system was turned down
by a small majority on ballot vote
and adjournment was taken before
any resolution to take the place of the
one rejected could be introduced.
The noise began when the moderator
doubted the result of the vote ON the
resolution offered by G. l.. Durham
and from that time until the end oi
the meeting there were few moments
when ANYTHING like order prevailed

Novel Decision in Law.

In connection with law suit re-
turnable before him on Thanksgiving
day, Justice A. V. Spaulding OF Bur-
lington has recently rendered decis-
ion regarding the legality OF trying
cases on that day. The defendant IN
the suit moved to have the case dis
missed on the ground that Thanksgiv-
ing was not a day for judicial busi-
ness. Justice Spaulding overruled the
motion on the ground that the procla-
nations of the governor and president
were not lawful unless supplemented
by statutes He held that there were
no statutes in Vermont prohibiting the
trial of cases on that day so this case
would be taken up at later date.
