David j. Foster

The death oil Hon. David j. Foster,
representative in Congress from this
district, comes as a great shock to the
people of Vermont. He was the young
est member of the Vermont delegation
in Congress and always appeared to be
in such rugged health that it seems
hardly possible that he should succumb
so quickly to disease.
Mr.. Foster was man OF ability ana
strength. No man was ever more deli
gent in looking out for the welfare oil
the people of his district. Whatever
was needed in Vermont from a public
building to pension, found a champion
in Congressman Foster aud one who
would follow up the case with the ut
most tact and energy until success
crowned his efforts.
In no county of his district was Mr
Foster more generally esteemed than in
Bennington county aud from the begin
ming of his term he was most loyal y
supported by his county. ln return, he
did all in his power for this section OF
the state. He was instrumental in Sc
curing the purchase of a site for
public building here aud later got the
authorization of bills through for it
construction. Every rural carrier il
the county owes him debt of gratitude
for his efforts in their behalf and the
old soldiers have lost perhaps their be 81
friend in Congress from the whole
country.
He was a genial, likable man who
had the gift of making friends and
holding them. As an orator, he hae
few equals and his services were called
for in many states during every import
ant campaign.-Benningto Banner.

That cosmopolitan pest. the mosqul.
to, does not necessarily perish with the
coming of winter On the contrary,
mosquitoes have been observed to hi
bernate. adult specimens living from
November until the succeeding April
or May with all their powers Of tor
ment unimpaired, although their activ-
lty is suspended in winter. The mos
quito needs but little food, and It is
the female that thirsts for blood, the
males contenting themselves with wa
ter and vegetable fluids. The fact that
mosquitoes are often found upon dry
prairies many miles from water Is as
cribed to the longevity Of the adults of
certain species which enables them to
survive seasons of drought. Railroads
have been responsible for the transmits.
sion of mosquitoes into regions where
they were previously rare.-Harper's.

govern them against their will aud
without allowing them representation.
The news is to the effect that next
week the democrats of the House insu-
lar affairs committee will report bill
giving independence to the Philippines,
which it is said will be probationary for
fixed term of years. Provided the is
lands succeed in maintaining an indie
pendent government during the period
OF probation, they will receive complete
freedom under the protectorate of the
United States, in some such way as Cuba
is free aud independent.
That the House will pass the bill and
that it will not be passed in the Senate
seems probable. II the present small
republican majority in the Senate
should, as appears likely, be turned
next year into democratic majority
the independence of the Philippines will
be practically assured.
However that may be, the passage of
the bill by the present House of Repres-
entatives will be hailed as great moral
victory by all who maintain that no
race or nation is good enough or wise
enough to govern another race or nation
against its will.-Boston Globe.

Officials here are confident that
when the Cubans understand the mo-

to discharge its treaty obligations,
there will be little dissatisfaction out
side of the veterans organization.
So we'll laid are the plans of the
general staff of the army that news of
the possibility of Intervention in Cuba
has caused scarcely a ripple at head
quarters here. Should it become nee
essary to send troops to Cuba, the
whole mechanism of the transporta-
ton and mobilization service could be
operated within a few hours and
probably within two days the first
army transport would be sailing for
Havana. Long before that transport
had reached Cuban Waters, several
American battleshipss would be lying
off proper strategic points on the Gu
ban coast.
War department officials, however,
do not anticipate any such order.
