THAT HARMONY MEETING AGAIN

Referring to our report of the ''har-
mony meeting" at Grafton, editor Hager
of the Times says "Had not Mr.. Ward.
we'll lost his temper and made certain
undignifed insinuations no controversy
would have arisen." Perhaps the above
is true. 1t usually takes more than one
to make Controversy" But granting
it to be true that "Wardwell lost his
etmper" what did he get angry about?
Let Mr.. Hager tell 1t in his own words.
(The parentheses are ours.) ''The editor
of the Times asked certain (im) pertinent
questions of the speakers at the meeting
(on;y Messrs. Hall, johnson and Hanna
had spoken) as to the responsibility of
their promises, as to whether they were
making statements without delegated
power to do so, or whether they were
delegated by certain officials (Messrs.
Blaisdell and Cooper we're named by Mr..
Hager) to make these promises"
From the above it would seem that
the speakers had made certain state
ments. Editor Hager also, according to
the above, practically asked the gentle
men if they were speaking the truth or
only joshing. There was nothing partl-
cularly Objectionable about that now,
was there? Why should that old and
''senile" editor get mad and cause a
Controversy"
We will give Brother Hager credit for
the honest belief that his questions were
"pertlnent." He didn't know that they
we're impertinent and insulting then,and
evidently don't know it yet. It seems
to be a radical fault in his makeup.
That was what we were trying to show
in our original report and editor Hager
simply proves it by his own statements
AS farther indication of the lament
able lack of Mr.. Hager's sensibility to
the emotions that are possessed by most
people, we may add that notwithstand-
ing his. public complaint before the
assembly of about hundred persons
that he had not received from Nh. Blais-
dell his share of public printing, that
as matter of fact, from March 1st, 1907
to February 9th, 1908, he had received
from the Office of the Commissioners of
Public Printing of whom Mr.. Blaisdell
is the executive. officer, state warrants
for printing amounting to S227.50, and
while standing there upon his feet de-
nouncing Mr.. Blaisdell, and calling in
question the good faith of the speakers
present who had spoken for the state
candidates and the state committee, he
'fl'ad in his possession an order for state
printing, issued September 4th, about
ten days before the meeting, for school
examination questions, the bill for which
when rendered will amount to probably
over 500. That is, Mr.. Hager has had
from MIR. Blaisdell's Office over $500
worth of printing during the last two
years-and still wants to know if the
st. Thomas Times is to have '.square
deal'' in the, future?

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Begged Physicians at Hospital to Let
Him Try Again.

Barre, Dec. 30.-George Guella,
granite cutter, 81 years DID, attempted
suicide yesterday morning following
an evening of merry-making.
After his return to his boarding
house on Granite street Guella wrote
a letter saying no person was to be
blamed but himself and asking his
friends to forget him. He said the
pain in his stomach was greater than
he could bear A postscript to ".Soph-
la" was added asking her to excuse
him for not calling before he took his
life.
Guella shot himself with 80 calibre
revolver the bullet entering the body
a little below the heart. He was taken
to the hospital where 1t Is said he will
probably recover. The man was dis
gusted at the failure to kill himself,
and asked the physicians to let him try
again. He had been in this country
about six years and in this city two
years. He is said to have wife and
several children in Italy. 1t is rumor'
ed that in some way Barre woman is
mixed up In the affair. A few weeks
ago Guella was severely cut about the
face in an alteration.

DIR. SiebeTs Discovery TO PrOlona
Human Life.

Human Life.
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Dr. ]. c. Siebel,
a physician of this city, announced
before the American Association For
the Advancement Of Science that he
had discovered method Of generating
energy within the human body. He
asserted that electricity stored In the
human body can be released and made
to do work. This work, he said Is the
prolongation Of life through the addi-
tional vitality supplied to the human
body working as its own electrical
generator.
DR.. Siebe announced that nutritive
elements, such rs alcohol, sugar and
fats, during their consumption by the
human body act as generators of cleo
tricity in the miniature batteries that
comprise the muscular structure Of
the human frame. He declared that
he has succeeded in the construction
of batteries on working scale in
(which the nutritiye element necessary
to form the connection between the
batteries and the system has been Gre
ated.

Narrow ESCAPE From had Wreck.

WESTBORO, Mass, Jan. 3. - Five
cars of the Chicago express on the
Boston and Albany railroad were de-
rallied by the break king Of wheel just
west of this station. All the passen-
gers escaped injury Of serious ma
ture, but four dining car employees,
all colorei, were hurt more or less Sc
verely. 1t was by narrow chance
that the wreck escaped being most
disastrous one, as Boston bound ex-
press grazed past the derailed cars
just as they were lurching over toward
the eastbound track, which they after
ward blocked completely. Had the de-
railment occurred fraction Of min
ute earlier the eastbound train would
doubtless have smashed into the wreck.
