mittee. Colonel Hatch's banking
career began when he was Is years
old in the village bank at Newburv,
where he was banking clerk. He
remained there two years. From
Newbury he went to Chelsea, where
he remained four years as cashier,
going from there to Littleton. In
1892 Colonel Hatch was elected
representative. He was senator in
1898 and a member of Gov. F. w.

removed from work; two taken to

The faculty of Middlebury col

they learned that deeds recorded in
the town clerks office in Middle
bury, whereby Col. Joseph Battell
has given to Middlebury College
nearly 80 acres of land on what is
known as College hill. The prop
erty is valued at $4,000. Since an
annuity condition is included in this
gift, it is doubtful whether the
transfer will have any bearing on
the ID. X. Parsons fund of SlOO.OOO
which the college is endeavoring
to secure. DIR. Pearson of Chi
cago has offered Middlebury col

can raise $4,000 more. Since last
June the president of Middlebury
college, DIR. John NJ. Thomas, has
worked earnestly to secure the
$4,000. Over $50 alumni have
contributed in various amounts.

The case of James d. Bell ct al
VS.. the Vermont division of the
Portland & Ogdensburg railroad
company, which was on the docket
for the April term of supreme
court, now sitting here, has been
continued to the May term in
Montpelier. This suit has been on
the docket for % years and is one
of the oldest on record. The case
grew out of claims against this rail-
road before it went into a receiver
ship and was sold to the Boston q
Maine. The claims are for labor and
material furnished and amount to
about $4,000, and there were
originally about so creditors who
claimed to be preferred alleging
that the earnings of the road and
the personal property were more
than enough to pay all its preferred
claims. More than half of the
creditors have died and the suit
has passed to their heirs. In 1903
there was a decision by the supreme
court IN an opinion written by
Judge j. w. Rowell, now chief
justice, which found for the orators,
with mandate that the amount
due them be determined below.
This has now been done by the
master, and it is to his report that
the defendant excerpts and goes to
supreme court. At the time of the
trial, the orators were successful,
notwithstanding the absence of
books, IN establishing the fact that
much of the money went into per-
manent Improvements and en-
HANGED the value of the bondholders'
interests, when it should have been
credited to net earnings. The
court ruled on this that in "com-
putting net earnings only such eX-
pendltures as are actually made
can be deducted from gross earn
lngs." Now the defendant claims
that the court of equity is not the
court in which the matter should
be settled. If the supreme court
sustain the masters report and
findings the road must pay about
S26, 900, with 5000 costs.

(Rutland Herald.)

The verdict of the Washington
county jury, which acquitted a
morphine victim, accused of muir
derous assault, on the ground of
mental responsibility, is a singular
slde-hght on the working of the
average mind. There is no moral
difference between a victim crazed
and made abnormal by alcohol
and one in the same situation by
reason of morphine. Hundreds of
men are thoroughly insane by
alcohol, but, if they commit any
ottense against the law, there is no
help for them with a jury. They
may be as thoroughly under the
dominion OF the rum habit" as
this Washington county victim was
enslaved to morphine, but the
morphine slave goes to a sanatorium
and the whiskey slave goes to state
prison. Is there any justice herein?
The explanation is probably sim
! pie enough. Everybody thinks
he knows all about the effects of
Intoxicating liquor, while there is a
certain mystery about morphine.
A man is supposed to know just
what chances he takes when he
drinks whiskey, and the fearful
and wonderful network of law that
surrounds it creates, in the popular
mind, an impression of protection.
1t is harder to purchase whiskey
than it is morphine, therefore it
must be more of a crime to kill a
man while drunk than while
" doped" with a narcotic!
After the first of May, a sick per-
son needing alcoholic stimulants
will be considerably distressed when
he attempts to purchase them in
this city. Morphine and all the
different forms OF opium may be
bought as freely as castor oil.
Therefore, a positively remarkable
sympathy will exist Tor the NOR
phine maniac who may commit an
act of lawlessness, while the alco-
none slave VIII be entitled to no
relief whatever, although the habit
ual use of intoXicants may have
made him just as irresponsible,
Just as completely a subject for
the state hospital as any lunatic.
The Herald does not understand
that the law sets up this arbitrary
distinction, but law is what a Jury
decides, and this Washington
county jury has established a GER
tain precedent in decisions that
lawyers will not be slow to follow
up.
Just for an experiment, why does
some clever attorney not prove to
a Iury's satisfaction, in some future
case of felony, that the respondent
IS mot guilty by reason ofgalco-
holc dementia." 1t ought psass
as readily as this narcotic no nifty
plea.

The futile company of Rutland,
through its attorney, has brought
mandamus proceedings against
State Auditor H. F. Graham for

The newspapers have many
faults but they also have the al.
vantage of being fully aware OF
them through the criticism they
received. For a change, here IS a
minister in Evanston who points
out some of their good points IN the
following words:
Contrary to the opinions OF
many, the newspaper has saved It's
readers from that modern perverslon
of our already forcible English
slang. 1t has pruned its language
of affectation, fine writing and in
discriminate and excessive use of
adiectives. The very word IN
printable is an index of the purity
of the newspaper.
What may seem the strangest
of all, the newspaper has saved
society from irreligion.
off the newspaper does not pro-
fessedly favor religion, it never is
arrayed against religion. While
it is often too fippant, or at least
too jocular in treatment of religious
events, it never is wilfully irrever-
ent. It's utterances are ever de-
handing honesty in politics, purity
in home life, clean streets, smoke
esS chimneys, a well-governed and
beautiful city.
at is not surprising that the
sensational should occupy large
pace in the newspaper. Like fc-
ion and the Bible and the drama,

deals with those phases of life
,hich create the most intense in
crest and which spring from the
lost elemental passions of human

The well worn Spanish tale of
woe, which has swindled many out
of honest dollars, has taken a new
turn and now the imprisoned man,
who is dying, leaving a beautiful
daugh ter and a hidden fortune, is a
former Cuban official, who served
under the Minister of War during
the last year of the Cuban war. He
went to Spain to look after his daugh-
ter, in school there, as his Ameri-
can wife is dead; and he is impri-
sonedy although in a dying state,
because he was recognized by Off
cial enemies. The names of the
of this fraud are myriad
and it seems as if the end of the
credulity of New Englanders must
be nearly reached; but this is not
SO, evidently, for some suckers

ow hook, line and sinker.
