Lizzie Ella Edwards,

Lizzie Edwards was released from eight
months of suffering on Friday morning
of last week. She was struck down by
a heavy hammock post which had been,
as was supposed, thoroughly tested and
her head so far bent forward as to
cause a stretching or tearing of the spinal
cord, never precisely ascertained, but GER
tain in the resulting paralysis below the
shoulders, which never relaxed below that
point, though there was pain also,
drawing up towards the last of the lower
limbs without power to straighten. She
had several physicians in council here
and the case attracted wide notice.
on Jan. 20 she was taken to the Brat
tleboro Memorial hospital. where she re-
manned two months. Nothing apparently
could be done to alleviate her sufferings
except by the tender care of her mother,
to which she tenaciously chung mainly
and she depended on the strong arm Of
her only brother and the frequent minis
trations of a dear friend of the family.
Three nurses separately assisted most of
the time. The girl bore her sufferings
heroically. Her return was by ambulance
and she wished the horses to speed on to
her own beloved home saying afterward
that she could not have endured the ride
but for praying all the time. She was
of lovely and winning personality, help
full at home, a promising pupil and gen.
eral favorite.
The funeral service was held at the
home of the parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott

and Bernard, and the half brother,
Harry. compose the family, on Sunday,

teacher, officiating. Mr.. and Mrs. c. l.,
Hescock, Mrs. John Whitaker and
Frank Whitaker sang Lizzie's favorite,
Safe in the Arms of Jesus" and an
other hymn was sung by Mr.. and Mrs.
Hescock. The floral tributes of sympathy
were profuse. Deep sympathy is felt for
the afflicted ones. who in turn are CRATE
full for all the kind assistance extended
through the weary months.

Hasklns Is the Man.
bradford Opinion.1

Having looked over the ground care
fully, we have come to the conclusion
that Hon. Kittredge Haskins, by his SER
vice to his constituents, by the place he
has made for himself among his col
leagues in the National House as a man
of sound judgment and backbone and
by his effectiveness as a representative
is the logical candidate to succeed himself
as Vermonts representative from the
second district. In other columns of the
paper will be found what editors and
men In public life have to say of his
qualifications. With Mr.. Haskns in the
House we are sure that Vermonts inter-
ests will be well served

IAN n HIS TAILOR.

Caters are worn only with the
frock or getaway coat. White, tan,
pearl or fawn are the approved colors,
and it is we'll to have the gloves and
cravat harmonic in shade. Caters
should be worn only by men who
dress very well, as they render one
conspicuous and create an unpleas-
ant impression of want to, but don't
know how" unless every detail of
dress is improbable.
The preferred evening handker-
chief is still of fine linen, embroid-
cred in the corner with the wearer's
initials. Silk handkerchiefs are not
improper, and they should be of Jap
anese pongee. The handkerchief is
carried in the left inside pocket of
the evening coat, and not slipped up
the sleeve or-horrors!-tucked be-
tween waistcoat and shirt.
No matter how much some Ameri-
cans may disparage English fashions
for men. it must be admitted that u.s.
ually whatever we have that is new

WIPE OUT

It is announced by the democrats
that thF are determined to put IA
end to the use of money at the polls
at the coming election. In this move
ment they should have the assistance
of every honest man irrespective Of
party. Money is the acknowledged
root of all evil and nowhere is this
manifested more than at elections.
1t is high time that the practice is
stopped and it will be interesting to
see whether the democrats actually
mean what they say.
1t will be remembered that George
S. Silzer, the democratic candidate
for state senator, made the use OF
money at elections the feature of his
speech of acceptance and since then
it has been announced that the dem
ocratic committee is making prepare
lions to enforce the law to the letter.
Any man who tries to say that no
money is now used at the polls, only
makes himself ridiculous and it
would be we'll fer the republicans to
0 their intention of standing
with the democrats in their efforts to
stamp on. the crime.
1t is vote buying at elections that
has won for Middlesex county the un-
enyiaBle reputation she o has
throughout the state. 1t is time to
Change this and the beginning should
be made this fall.

When the Newark Evening News
intimated that Senator John F. Dry
den was the new owner of the New
ark Advertiser, the Advertiser be-
came very indignant and made a de-
cidedly personal denial. The manner
in which Senator Dryden's name is
found from one end of the Advertiser
to the other, both in the news col
umns and editorials, however, all
lauding the insurance president to
the skies, would seem to substantiate
the conclusion reached by the News.
Perth Amboy Evening News.
There are newspapers, as there are
individuals, so constituted as to be in
capable of knowing the truth when
they meet it.
Lest the Perth Amboy newspaper
be erring through an honest misun-
~derstanding of the situation, it is
here stated that Senator Dryden has
absolutely no more part in the owner
ship or management of the Advertiser
than has the editor of the Perth Am
boy Evening News.-Newark Adver-
tiser.
That's putting the matter in very
plain language and ought to satisfy
everyone. The Advertiser is showing
marked Improvements of late and 1t
is good to hear that it is not a mere
instrument to help one mar realize
his personal ambitions. While We
cannot wish the Advertiser success
in its campaign in behalf of Senator
Dryden, we do wish it the utmost
prosperity in the Journalistic field.

PASSENGERS LEFT TO GUESS.

The neglect of the Central railroad
to furnish directions for passengers
is n of the disadvantages of trav-
cling on that road. This is particu-
larly noticeable at Elizabethport, y
junction where trains are constantly
coming and going on three sides, yet
not a sound is uttered by any of the
railroad officials to let the waiting
travellers know whittier any of these
trains are bound. To n unfamiliar
with the place, this is decidedly an
noying to say the least, and it is a
common occurrence to find people on
the wrong trains bound in directly
the opposite direction from which
they want to go.
This same inconvenience is noticed
at the Newark terminal, where scorei
of people who want to go to New
York, board the trains for Elizabeth
port. Those who are accustomed tc
the conveniences and attention OF
other railroads frequently remark
about these things and the reputation
of the New Jersey Central is moi
improved thereby.

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.

American railroads kill off their
passengers twenty-five times as fast
as do the railways in Great Britain
and still the American public submits
to the outrage. But they are begin
ming to awake to the terrible truth,
and a popular cutlery for protection
is growing in strength daily through
the activity of the press. And close
upon the heels. of this demand comes
the announcement in the Technical
World Magazine for October, OF. a new
system of automatic cab signals for
locomotives. embodies in an article
entitled Protecting Running Trains
by Frank G. Perkins. A very simple
and practicable system has been de-
vised by two German engineers for
the protection of trains through the
delivery, by means, of an electric con-
tact rail, of audible or visible signals
in the locomotive cab. The device is
fully described, and photographs
show how the system works in actual
operation. The necessity for some
thing of this kind will, it is believed.
soon force railroads in this country
to adopt al automatic signaling sys-
tenn for the protection of their pas
sengers.

THIS SEASONS Wells.

The present modish way of drap-
ing the long veil is unlike any style
ever before introduced.
The veil is first placed around the
edge of the hat brim and secured at
the back, allowing the ends to float
in the air, then the net is drawn
closely over the face and under the
chin, and the flowing ends caught at
the back and gathered into a long
gold safety pin at a point near the
nape of the neck.
Invariably the veil should harmo-
nize with the color of the hat, al
though golden brown is a fashionable
shade that may be worn with almost
any color hat.
The average length of the fashion
able veil for this use is one and one
half yards.
And the lace considered smartest
is Chantilly, having a dainty border
on all sides. The mesh may be plain
or dotted as the individual lasts pre-
fers.
A few extremists favor heavy Dor
ders having a vine of floral design
running from the lower edge over the
center, so that when the veil is over
! the face the pattern stands out prom1-
nently, sometimes almost disfigurine
the countenance.
The smartest driving veil is of ivy
green chiffon; it has tucked or hem
stitched border and is worn pinned
closely over the hat and face with
ends carefully tucked in at the back.
While this shade is best suited for
the ewes, it also has the advantage
over other shades, inasmueh as it

DAVID HARVEY, JR.,
FOR CONGRESS.
BE made this fall.

The democrats make a mistake in
giving the congressional nomination
to each county in succession each
year regardless of the best man for
the place. This may have something
to do with the party's inability tn
successfully oppose Congressman B..
#. Howell whom the republicans have
just nominated for the seventh time.
While David Harvey, Jr., of AS
ary Park, who was nominated at
~g Branch yesterday, may make as
good a run as Captain James Parker,
of this city, it is evident that he was
nominated more because it was Mon
mouth county's turn than anything
else.
Mr. Harvey has il excellent repu-
tation and if he gets about the district
so that people can zee him and hear
his views of the vafious issues, it is
possible that he will give Mr.. Howell
q good run. Monmouth county, Mr..
Haryey's home, is democratic under
normal conditions. and Middlesex is
close, offering an excellent opportG-
nifty for democratic success, il manag
