Mrs. cIarIssa J. o,ponneIt.

Mrs Clarissa Jane O'Donnell so, died
at 11.25 o'clock Sunday at the home OF
her daughter, Miss Mary ]. O'Donnell, at
6 Walnut street. She had been in i'll
health several months, but her last illness
dated from Nov. &c. Death was caused
by senile exhaustion. Mrs. ODonnell was
born in Landgrove June 12, 1925, and was
a daughter of Alanson and Prudence
CWhite) Shelley. When she was 10
years old the family moved to Westmore-
land, N. H., and about eight years later
to Putney. 1t was there that the active
years of her life were spent and there
she was married to James O'Donnell
March 20, 1850. Mr.. O'Donnell died in
Putney Oct 20, 1862. Mrs. O'DonneI re-
mained there until about 20 years ago,
when she came to Brattleboro to live with
her daughter, Miss O'Donnell, who is a
member of the millinery firm of O'DonnelI
& Davis. She leaves one other daughter,
Mrs Clara Boorn of Brattleboro, but no
brothers or sisters. She was member of
the Methodist church and gave active and
constant support to all its interests. She
was a woman of delightful personality,
loyal to every cause which she espoused
and was devoted to her children. The
funeral was held at her late home at 1.30
o'clock Tuesday, Rev. A. H. Webb and
Rev. H. r. Miles, of the Methodist and
Congregational churches, officiating. Miss
Emma Gregg sang three selections. The
body was placed in the mausoleum in
Morningside cemetery, the bearers being
S. NJ. Yeaw, F. A. Bagg, w. r. Geddis,
H. p. Matthews, H H. Thompson and G.
H. Clapp.

The personnel of the new British minis
try was announced Sunday, with Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman as premier. Z Sir
Robert Threshie Reid, lord high chancel-
lor, Herbert Henry Asquith chancellor
of the eXchecquer Herbert John Glad
stone secretary Of home affairs and Sir
Edward Grey secretary of foreign affairs
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman has held
many important public positions since
1871 and has been leader of the Liberal
party since 1899. Mr. Gladstone is the
fourth son of the great statesman and
received his political training as secretary
to his father. He is an advanced Liberal,
favoring home rule, free trade and the
abolition of the veto power. John Morley,
the widely known author, holds the posi-
tion of secretary of state for India under
the new regime and John Burns, the
labor leader, is given the post of presi-
dent of the local government.

Evidently cities and towns containing
presidential post offices are not to be
rent with internecine strife over the next
appointment except in rare cases. Post
master General Corteiyou has announced
that merit has preference over political
influence. Ii is said that the President is
not only in accord with this ruling. but
that he is the author of the continuous
service policy. The understanding in
Washington is that the Office of every presi-
dental postmaster will receive rating
after being reported upon by a post office
Inspector, and If the rating is high the
administration will take the responsibility
to reappoint the present incumbents, un-
less the Congressman of the district can
show good and sufficient reasons against
a reappointment,

The annual report of Postmaster Cen
eral Cortelyou contains some striking
sentences. Here is one: Il am less con-
cerned about the deficit than l am about
efficiency of administration" Here is
another: For the time being, attention
can be more proftably devoted to an i'm
provement of the service already estab-
lished than to an immediate consideration
of such questions as the reduction of rates
of postage, parcels post postage savings
repositories, a postal telegraph and tele-
phone and kindred subjects" The deficit
for the year ended June 80, 1906 was $14,-
572,5S4.1S, against $S,779, 1926 in 1904. Mr..
Cortelyou estimates the deficit for the
year ending next June at $14, AL, 116. But
for the rapid extension of the rural free
delivery service the post office department
would now be self-sustaining.

The Boston Journal went beyond any
other newspaper of flambouyant Journal
ism In handling the Mary Rogers case,
when in its cartoon Blot" it depicted
the hand of Gov. Bell pouring a bottle
of ink over the state of Vermont Gov.
Bell had absolutely no connection with
the conviction or the legal procedure Of
the case other than to grant the first
reprieve when the claim of new evidence
was advanced and the second to avoid
any clash with the federal courts. He was
urged to interfere with the operation Of
the machinery of the law, and this he re-
fused to do, Notwithstanding that his
own views are said to be against capital
punishment He was placed in a very
trying position, but he took the only con-
sistent course open to him. 1t was not
his place, after the courts and Legislature
had said that Mary Rogers should die to
stop the execution. Criticism of Attorney
General Fits also rests upon no founda-
tion. He simply performed the disagree
able duties which were incumbent upon
him through his official position. Through
all of the course of the case Vermont has
had governor and an attorney general
who have carried themselves with poise,
dignity and good sense

The extent of the land frauds througout
the western states has been revealed to
some extent through the special articles
from time to time in the Boston Tran
script, but II is surprising to learn from
the annual report of Secretary Hitchcock
of the interior department that his agents
are now at work to punish frauds in 20
states and that in the cases already
brought to the attention of the courts
there have been 80 convictions and 532
indictments Some of the most important
prosecutions have been in California and
Oregon, and in the latter state the late
United States Senator Mitchell and Con-
gresham Herman were convicted. Mr..
Hitchcock has found that in two counties
in Kansas 20 persons were holding 1872, 900
acres of land illegally. In Nebraska
frauds have been very extensive, and two
men who are alleged to have maintained
in unlawful inclosure a quarter OF a
million acres escaped with a fine of $500
each. The Lewiston frauds involve TO-
900 acres of the best timberland in Idaho.
Many frauds are reported from the south
ern states, but the holdings of the opera
tors there are not so large as in the West.
1t is understood that the dragnet is now
close to United States senators from a
western state and other officials who have
not figured in the scandals publicly up
to the present time.

Senator r. w. Carmack, who has been
described as having "a caustlc tongue,
an endless vocabulary and leather lungs
is going the length and breadth of Ten
ncssee shouting praises of Theodore
Roosevelt. He was formerly chief critic
of the President in the Senate, but the
new light which has come to him is said
to be due to the fact that he has found
that Roosevelt is extremely popular with
the people of Tennessee, and Carmack in
his fight to retain his seat has adopted
the method Of fusome praise. His op-
ponent is Bob" Taylor, ex-governor
famous as the "1ddllng statesman"

Death Of EDWARD Atkinson.

Edward Atkinson, 7S the widely known
political economist dropped dead Monday
from an attack of acute indigestion while
about to enter his Office in Boston. After
attending private schools in Boston he
received a business training in commits
sion houses In that city From 1S4S to
1877 he was connected with several large
manufacturing companies as clerk and
treasurer. lie then became president of
the Boston Manufacturers Mutual Fire
Insurance company, an office which he
held to the time of his death.
In 1887 he was appointed by President
Cleveland special commissioner to report
upon the status of bimetallism in Europe.
Heswas one of the most prominent mono
of the founders of the New England Emil
grant Aid society and a founder and
director of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology.
Mr.. Atkinson's devotion to old-fashion-
ed ideas of honesty and economy in the
life of the people did great good, and he
was an incessant preacher of economy
The Aladdin oven, which he invented and
exploited, was calculated to accomplish
more good than it has achieved. This device
for cookingi or, as he put it, teaching
people to stew" utilized the heat from
a common lamp for making soups and
cooking all kinds of food for the table.
lie demonstrated that man could thus
provide for his family at the cost of a
few cents a day, and he was fond of Civ
ing exhibitions of his apparatus and the
delicacies 1t was capable of turning out.
The thought which Mr.. Atkinson develop
ed came to him when going over a build
ing on a cold day, when the workmen
were opening their dinner pals. Cold
victuals and pie did not seem to him good
fuel for the human furnace, and he set
about devising something better Mr.. At
kinson practiced what he preached. He
wore the clothes that he recommended the
man of slender means to buy, and he ate
the food which he told others to eat, after
having cooked it himself, as he had ad-
vised others to cook it,

The Presidents recommendation that
the Congress carefully consider whether
the bureau OF corporations cannot con-
stitutionally be extended to cover inter-
state transactions in insurance, will be
sure to provoke a sharp controversy in
Congress and a wide discussion outside
Congress. The recommendation is not
new, being merely a reaffirmatlon of what
the President said in a message to the
5Sth Congress. but recent events have
given the subject a new Importance and
an added emphasis.

The immigration problem is brought to
mind again by the annual report of Frank
p. Sargent. which shows in year !, ,026, 499
aliens landed on our shores with the ex-
pectation of making homes here. The
number was an increase Of 213,629 over
the preceding year. Mr.. Sargent predicts
that the chief source of future increases
in immigration are Russia and Austria
Hungary. MIR. Sargent says that the
problems of immigratio loom so largely
in the prospect of our country that II
may be said without giving just cause to
charge eXaggeration, that all other ques-
tions of public economy, relating to things
rather than to human beings, shrink into
comparative insignificance."
