EARL p. HARRINGTON.
Mrs. G. L. Harrington went to Ash
land, n. H., last week Wednesday to at
tend the funeral of her son, Mr.. Earl p.
Harrington, who died very suddenly at
his home there the day previous of heart
failure. Mr.. Harrington was born at
our village SO years ago and went to Ash
land when 10 years of age. He estab-
lished himself in business as a house and
carriage painter a few years later and
carried on a successful business for in
that TIME until four and five years ago.
when he went on board an excursion
boat on a nearby lake as pilot. He
passed through the several grades until
made general superintendent of the
transportation company's business with
headquarters at Ashland which office he
held at the time of his death. He was
deputy sheriff also and had held this Of
flee for quite a number of years. He
was an honored member of the Masons
Odd Fellows and United Laborers soci-
cites. all of which took part in the burial
services which were held at the Baptist
church on Thursday following his death.
The floral offerings were profnse and
costly.
Mr.. Harrington had been in usual
hedilh uhul TWO or three Gays previous
when he complained of a pain near his
heart, but no fears were had as to the
result until he became suddenly worse
and death came at once.
The citizens of the place seemed to vie
with others in showing their respect and
sympathy. All places of business were
closed most of the day of the burial.
OF his immediate family there remains
his wife, mother and brother, ]. A. Har-
rington of Vergennes. also a sister, Miss
Lucy Harrington of Rutland.
Mr.. Harrington was at one time an
employee of Mr.. Clinton Smith of Mid
dlebury and will be remembered by
many who reside there. He was known
to his boy fellows here as a jolly good
boy and was very highly respected. The
loss falls heavily upon his aged mother
coming 80 suddenly without a word of
warning. She has the sympathy of all.

Ellen or Whisperinss of an Old
Pine. Vol. n.

This book which was published on
Thursday, the 23d inst, in both this
country and England, bids fair to change
the Physics of the World as completely
as they were changed by Copernicus,
when he substituted for the old
Ptolemaic system of astronomy, that had
been taught for 20O0 years, the Copper
nican system. In the present case the
undulatory theories of both light and
sound will be superseded by the corpus
cular theory, which, so far as light is con-
cerned, was the one taught by Newton,
and generally accepted for more than a
hundred years.

FRIDAY, R "a. 1908.
Republican State Convention.
The State Convention of the Repub

- The State Convention of the Republi-
1ls of Vermont to elect eight delegates
nd eight alternates to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago June
VIC, takes place next week, April 30, at
Burlington.
Evidently an effort has been made to
influence the party to draw away from
Roosevelt, if not from his policies.
So long as there was no opposition this
met with a certain amount of success
among those who are easily influenced
in any direction. but none at all with the
rank and file who have remained very
true to both Roosevelt and his policies ;
and it is evident that the great majority
of the party, both in this State and
throughout the Country, now stand in
that position.
And therefore, as it seems to US, it is
proper as well as important that the men
chosen to represent the party at Chicago
should be of the number who not only all
the time have been friendly to the
Roosevelt policies, but also believers in
Roosevelt himself, his great abilities, and
earnest desire for the highest welfare
of the nation. Not that honest criticism
isn't always to be welcomed. but that the
party should not at this time surrender
its leadership, or representation, to those
individuals who have shown the least
disposition to appreciate the splendid
efforts that the President has made, and is
still making, to have laws enacted which
recognize the rights and privileges of
every citizen, thus striving to e~qualize
opportunity among all the people, and,
so far as is just, the blessings which
come from our great prosperity. This is
in the line of right and justice, and
certainly deserves the nations fullest
assistance.
The people of Vermont certainly are
for,Roosevelt's policies, andsfor Roosevelt
himself, if circumstances-as we believe
that they may-lead. the Republican con.
vention to renominate him. This being
so, it is very important that the dele
