THE REAL HEDDA GABLER.

Archer writes IN the London

whether lbsen had any individual model

in all other instances, the word model
must be taken In a different sense from
that in which 1t is commonly used In
painting Ibsen undoubtedly used mod
els for this trait and that, but never
for whole figure. If his characters
can be called portraits, Even when 1t
seems pretty clear that the initial i'm
pulse toward the creation of a particu-
lar character came from some indlyid-
ual, the original figure is entirely trans
muted IN the. process OF harmonization
with the dramatic scheme.
1T would be futile. therefore, to look
for definite prototype Of Hedda; but

lady's exploits We're probably suggested
by the anecdotic history of the day.

NOT HOLDEN
UNDER LAW
Interesting Development In
Northfield Fishing Case
RESPONDENT RELEASED
Joseph Yatter, Complainant, Had Not
Filed Affidavit Until Two Days
After Time Specified by
the Law.

Northfeld March 2.--Justice S. H.
Kent has sustained the demurrer filed
by the respondent in the case Of i. A.
Kelley, who was charged with catch.
ing trout on the stocked brook Of Joseph
Yatter, even though Kelley did catch
two fish, and the case offers an impor-
tant insight into the law governing fish
ing in stocked waters. Kelley was dis
charged on the action brought through
the states attorney.
Kelley was arrested on the charge of
fishing and catching two trout in the
brook stocked by Joseph Yatter, in July,
1905. At the first hearing, which was
held before Justice Kent last Saturday,
c. A, Plunlley, counsel for Kelley, fled
demurrer TO the indictment ON the
ground that Kelley's act did not consti-
tute criminal offense. The law stipu-
lates that the person stocking brook
with trout shall Gle an affidavit telling
of the waters stocked and the number
of fish placed therein on or before May
/ of each year.
The attorney for Kelley admitted that
Ystter had filed such an affidavit, but
made the announcement that it was fled
on May 5, therefore not coming within
the letter of the law. He consequently
enterei the demurrer that Kelley was
not liable even though he did catch two
trout. Justice Kent agreed with him.
G. II. Senter Of Montpelier prosecuted
the case yesterday.

BULLET WAS FOUND.
Which Caused Death of Man at Exeter,

Exeter, N. H., March 2.-Dr. A. J..

county stated last night that at the
autopsy held over the body of Chase w.
Thurston, who died most mysteriously
last Sunday, a bullet was found in the
body The doctor said the bullet went
through both lobes of the left lung and
fractured his back. He said that last
Sunday it was not discovered because
the burns covered the holes where the
bullet entered DR.. Lance said the man
probably committed suicide.
The Investigations were begun at the
request of the Insurance company with
which Thurston carried $500 accident
policy. The officers first learned of the
mans death through The Union, and
they wrote their local agent to arrange
for an inquest, as they feared Thurston
took his own life.
The autopsy on the body was perform
cd at Fields undertaking rooms yestef-
day morning by DIR. a. J. Lance, and he
was assisted by DR. John G. Knowlton
and DIR. Herbert G Day. DIR. Knowlton

said the man had been dead two hours,

clans were most careful in their work,

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Family Of Seven Affected, None Of Them
Seriously.

Burlington, March 2.--Seven persons
were overcome by gas yesterday at the
home of John A, Cameron at Greene

the hired girl. The accident occurred
while the family were preparing for the
mcrni:sg meal, at about seven o'clock,
and was discovered when the children
dropped to the floor like flies, becoming
pale and lifeless. DR.. III. L. Wilder was
summoned at once. Before his arrival
aid was given by w. d, Bowen and
L. f. Macvane, two medical students
living in the house. Later DR.. d. @.

One of the children was taken to a
neighbor's house to be cared for, burt
the girls, who are aged 10 and Is, re-
covered before their brothers, aged seven
and eight, who were unconscious for
about an hour. The mother and father
and hired girl were not so seriously af-
fected as the children.
The cause of the accident Is not def

opinion that it was, ca, sed by gas, es.

from the pipes leading into the range,
but not by coal gas from the furnace.

That the Saloon Is a PernieiOus Social
institution.

You may be a prohibitionist;
You may be champion Of local OPP
tion;
You may be in favor Of some form of
dispensary system;
You may be moderate drinker;
But as an intelligent man with spirit
of candor, YOU see clearly that the sa-
loon is pernicious, unpatriotic institu-
tion of society. Whatever else is per-
picking, this is clear. The saloon is
foe Of manhood, Of the family, Of
business, politics, civilization. And the
issue before us is exceeding simple. 1t
is not the liquor problem as a whole
that we have to consider. That is trou-
blesome and complex. But it is the
simplest and most evident phase of the
problem that we are to deal with, viz:
The approval or disapproyal of the sa-
loon. And it is clear as day that the
saloon is a parasite on the social sys-
tenn. We can keep this parasite out of
