IS CONSUMPTION INHERITED?
Opinion of Prominent Bacteriologist
Given at a Recent Lecture at Har-
ward COLLEGE.

Prof. II. G. Ernst in recent lecture
before Harvard medical school as
cussed this theory at length. He
claims that consumption is not an IN
herited disease, and that the children
of parents who have had tuberculosis
are as likely to grow up strong and
healthy as children of parents VINO
have not. DR. Ernst further claims
that the cardinal means for curing this
dread disease are plenty of fresh air,
sufficient nutritious food. rest and ex-
ercise.
For centuries physicians every.
where have recognized the value OF
cod liver oil in the treatment or con-
sumption and all wasting diseases, but
unfortunately few could take 1t with
benefit on account of the indigestloie
oil.
Vinol has solved this problem, 1t
is the modern cod liver oil preparation
without oil, made by scientific, eX'
tractive and concentrating process
from fresh Gods livers, combining with
peptonate of iron all the medicinal,
healing and bodybuilding elements Oh
cod liver oil but no oil or grease. AS
specific for all throat and lung trou-
bes and as strength creator anu
body builder Vinol is unexcelled. Try

The mystery surrounding the death

The autopsy, which was performed
on the day following Broughm's death,
failed to reveal any cause for his sud

normal and healthy condition and it
was evident that the man had not

CON GR EGAT|ONAL
CHURCH BURNED
At DORSET
Five Old Buildings Erected In
the Year Of 1882.
EARLY ON SUNDAY MORNING
Fire Caught From Heater In Basement
Where Fire Had Been Started
Saturday Evening.

e. Dorset, Nov. 24.-The usually quiet
village of Dorset was reused at a.
m. Sunday, Nov. "a, by agonizing cries
Of Fire" Seldom have the residents
of the town been SO shocked, as they
were, OH rushing from their homes, to
see the beautiful church irrevocably
in the grasp of flames and before day
light dawned, the building and all its
contents were left only in memory.
Many men gathered from all parts
of the town and worked with indefat-
igable zeal to save the horse-sheds in
the rear; the ice house. belonging to
Mr.. Bourne, in close proximity; and
the residence and buildings owned by
DR.. f. c. I4iddle, all in imminent dan
ger of igniting, but the wind seemed
to shift and thus much village proper
" was saved.
The fire seemed to have started in
the furnace room from an unknown
cause and the front of the church fell
first. the bell crashing directly into
the furnace. DR.. Liddle who lives in
the nearest house was first to dis
cover the fire, being reused by the UNI
natural whining and restlessness OF
his dog. Ii was impossible to gain en-
trance to any part of the building on
account of the dense smoke and all
the furniture and belongings were lost,
including the church vocation, and the
valuable new piano given only last
winter by Miss de Nottbeck as men,
orial TO her friend, Mrs. Louise Lee.
deceased.
This church was built in 1892 to re-
place another that was burned, and by
energy and zeal of its members, had
become nearly perfect in its equip
ments. The basement chapel was al
tered and greatly improved about a
year ago and was most pleasant
meeting place 1t contained among
other memorials, portraits OF DR. p. s.
Pratt, pastor for over 80 years, and OF
Deacon Alanson Gray, a faithful CO.
worker.

EX-TAMMANY HEAD
TOO SHARP FOR
BRITISH
How Richard Croker Got Loan
on Irish Land
SIxTY-EIGHT YEARS Topaz UP
Proves Himself Good Lawyer as Well
As Flnancler--Se Secures $2s,ooo
Loan.

DUBLIN, Ireland, Nov. 25.--Rlchard
Croker's latest achievement in Ireland
proves again that he knows the value
of money.
The former Tammany leader has be-
come tenant purchaser under the
Irish land act of 1903. The land com
mission has advanced $4,000 to Mr..
Croker TO pay for farm adjoining
his fine estate at Steilorgan. He had
rented the farm from Lord Carysfort
To prove that Mr.. Croker ranks with
n Rothschild or Morgan it should be
stated that this $4,000 lent by the
land commission will be repaid, with
49, per cent interest, in diminishing
installments extending over sixty-eight
years
And this annual repayment will be
80 per cent less than the annual rent
Mr.. Croker was paying for the farm.
Besides demonstrating his financial
ability, Mr. Croker proved himself n
good lawyer in this transaction. He
offered S3l 800 for the farm, and Lord
Carysfort accepted the offer. Then Mr..
Croker sent his lawyer to the land
commission to argue that under the
land act II should advance the money
to buy the farm. The commissioners
could not see II In that light Nothing
daunted, Mr.. Croker appeared in per.
son before the commissioners and ar
gued his claim with such shrewdness
that they saw new light. They
notified him later that they would adj
vance him $4,000 OF the $3l 800 he
asked for.
He appeared before the commission
ers again. and this time he answered
the old, old question. Where did you
get it?" by saying, II have not got it,
you gentlemen are treating me I'M
fairly" he told the commissioners.
you think am the millionaire which
people say | am. tell you | am not
millionaire. am as much entitled
to the benefits Of this act as any other
tenant in all Ireland
The commission pondered Mr. Gro
kers arguments and, concluding that
he was right. finally offered to ad-
vance him $4,000, and this satisfied
him
So Mr.. Croker has done a fine and
legitimate stroke OF business ut the
expense of the British exchequer. But
much surprise is expressed that an
an act which was passed for the re-
lief of poor Irish tenants.

against him, and Bryan's offer was
very welcome to him. He thanked
Mr.. Bryan and accepted the offer.
Bryan did everything in his power to
secure Democratic support for the
presidents rate policy, and his work
was effective. The president has never
forgotten the tender of this support
made with no conditions and no de-
mand for quid pro quo.
There was remarkable scene at the
close of Mr.. Bryan's visit In some
mysterious telepathic fashion 1t be-
came rumored all over the White
House a minute before Mr.. Bryan left
the presidents room that the inter-
view was about to end. Immediately
every White House employee, from
high to low, left his desk, his type
writer, his shovel, his broom or what
ever he was working with. and all
rushed pell nell to the door and stood
there lined up. Mr.. Bryan passed
between the lines, bowling and smiling.
Visitors to the greatest eminence are
daily at the White House and go and
come without getting so much as a
glance from the executive staff. Never
before has such an ovation been given
at the White House to any visitor.

than $1,000 in cash and without leaving
any clew to their whereabouts or the
direction In which they fed. It is be.
lleved, however, that they crossed the
Canadian boundary.
The break was discovered early yes.

the station was badly wrecked by the
force of the explosions.

states government, containing customs
receipts. Beecher Falls being a port

looked this safe or were frightened

made to force it.
Investigation showed that entrance
to the building had been effected bv
raising the window of avatory. All.
though 1t is not known positively AT
what time the break occurred. il is
generally believed that the burglars
entered the station some time after
l.3o yesterday morning. A posse is
in pursuit.
The burglars did their work so well
that not even pane of glass was
broken by the force of the explosions.
The contents of the safe were sorted
over carefully and only currency was
taken, all checks and drafts being left
behind. The burglars pried off the

piled the explosive through the OPEN

PET DOE is DEAD
Found in the Corral at the Soldiers
Home Sunday Morning.

The pet doe that has been one of the
attractions at the Vermont Soldiers
home was found dead in the corral
Sunday morning. The animal had not
appeared to be as lively as usual for
several days, but its actions attracted
little attention and would not have &C.
casioned any comment had 1t not been

The doe has been an inmate of the
little park just east of the main build
ing for upwards of dozen years and
for this reason its death is not so sur
prising as would have been the case
had the animal been younger. The
doe was something of a curiosity for
the reason that it had two horns, one
of them fully six inches long, so that
