Candidates for State Officers

The two candidates for Governor,
Mr.. Allen M. Fletcher of Cavendish
and Joseph A. DeBoer of Montpelier
are both eminently qualified for the
position, and we hope that which ever
is not nominated this time will be two
years from now.
The following gentlemen, as we under
stand, are candidates for the Lieut..
Governorship: Willard Barnes of Addi-
son, Max L. Powell and Chauncey w.
Brownell of Burlington and Frank E.
Howe of Bennington. Either one of
these gentlemen should make very
acceptable Lieut.. Governor. Mr.. Howe
has had the most experience and at our
last Legislature, of which he was Speak
er, proved himself remarkably we'll
qualified for that office. We also under
stand that Rufus E. Brown of Burlng-
ton is candidate for Attorney General.
Mr.. Brown is recognized as one of
the leading lawyers in the State, and
would unquestionably make an able and
efficient officer.

BISHOP SCORES WOMEN

Denounce Extravaganza in
Their Costumes

Many Passaic society women, some
blushing, others deeply touched, heard
Bishop Lines of Newark, addressing a
confirmation class in st. Johns P. E.
church, Passaic and Lafayette avenues,
score women for overdressing.
''There is too much extravaganza on
the part of American women in the
churches today" he said Sin one of
the largest and mast Fashionable
churches in New York the people stay
away because they say they cannot af-
ford to dress like the others. A church
like this is not for the glory of God.
Women should dress so that no one can
feel offended at the display which she
is not able to afford.
Don't speak too bitterly of the flood

SHE BANKS $1,000 IN AN
GENT COINS.
Collection Contains All Sorts
Of Out of Date Money.

Monticello, N. Y, February &c. -
Nearly eighteen hundred dollars in old
coins was deposited today in the Monti-
cello National Union Bank by Miss
Cynthia Pintler, which amount repre-
sented the saving of her brother, Hiram
Pintler, for more than seventy years.
Early in life Pintler formed the habit
of throwing all his small change in a
tin box. He was never forced to draw
from it, and when he died few months
ago his relatives found the box filled
with a small fortune.
In the collection are many coins of
ancient dates. Large, old copper pen
MES, two-cent pieces, three cent pieces,
old nickels and dimes, eagle pennies,
quarters and half dollars, a few gold
pieces and several one dollar bills which
were of such an out-of-date appearance
that the ordinary person would consider
them counterfeits.
Some of these coins have an added
value because of their age. Never in
the history of the bank has such an
antique deposit been offered. = New

KILLED BY AUTO.
Rich Realty Dealer Struck at
Crossing by Machine, and Dies
in Fifteen Minutes

William Henry Hall. who, it is said,

at the southwest corner of Broadway
and Eighty third street at 6:10 o'clock
Tuesday night to signal car. He
meant to ride to his home at No. 265
West Seventy third street AS he
neared the tracks he was struck down
by an automobile. Fifteen minutes
afterward he died at the Roosevelt hos
pital.
Louis Kahn of No. 1859 Madison ave-
nue. was driving the auto, which is own
ed by Joseph Rockowitz of No. 1929
Kelly street, the Bronx. He told the
police that he had thrown on his brakes
when Hall started out from the curb,
but that the machine slid over the wet
pavement at almost unchecked speed.
Peter S. Kenyon of No. 32l West
Eighty-second street and Edmund S.
Quinn Of No. 152 West Eightyfo fourth
street were passengers on the street car
which Hall tried to catch. They went
at once to his assistance, and with Kahn
lifted the half-unconscious man into the
tonneau of the machine. Kenyon held
Hall in his arms while Quinn directed
Kahn to the Roosevelt hospital, where
he drove as swiftly as he dared.
On the way, but only after much
questioning, Kenyon learned the victim s
name and address. At Seventy-third
street he left the machine and informed
William Henry Hall, jr., of the accident
the son going at once to the hospital.
He did not reach there, however, until
after his father had died.
DR.. Barnum of the hospital staff found
in superficial examination that Hall
had got badly bruised nose and that
two of his ribs seemed to have been
broken. He had just finished the exam
ination when the patient died, evidently
from the puncture of some vital organ.
Kahn drove from the hospital to the
West Sixty-eighth street police station,
where he made report to Lieutenant
Brady. 1t was not known then,
although it was ten minutes after
it had actually occurred, that Hall was
dead, and Kahn was permitted to go on
his way He said he was bound for

He Reads, Colonel Says In
Jolly Mood,

Col. d. C. Collier, president of the

found sentiment in thirty-five states
overwhelmingly in favor of Mr.. Roose-
welt as the Republican nominee for the

j. West Roosevelt, at ITO East Thirty
first street, last night by an emissary
from the convention. 1t is believed to
have been in the form of request from
the governors for statement from Mr..
Roosevelt as to how he stood on the
nomination for the presidency.

full consideration, he said, land will
reply to it as soon as possible"
Col. Roosevelt was then questioned
concerning the Mckinley declaration,
but his only comment on that was;
''Mr. Mckinley is not my spokes-
man."

CATCHING UP WITH ROOSE-
WELT.
Mr.. Munsey Says Ex-President
Won Because People Believed
in Him.

1.-THE less a man has done, who has
done anything at all notable, the easier
it is to remember what he has done; the
more a man has accomplished, the more
difficult it is to keep in mind the
victories he has won," says Frank A.
Munsey in an Introductory to an article
by Judson c. Velliver, entitled Catch
ing UP With Roosevelt" in Munsey's
Magazine for March.
''Mr. Roosevelt has done so much in
the big arena, has recorded so many
triumphs and set in motion so much
worthwhile thought, that he has over
taxed our memories, leaving US just a
bit muddled as concerns the record of
his achievements.
Strenuous as was the fight in the
halls of Congress against Roosevelt and
his policies, it was mild as compared
with the combined fight put up against
him by the railroads, by Big Business,
and by Wall street almost to man
the big fellows and the little fellows
alike. No man has ever been more
bitterly denounced and more thoroughly
hated than Roosevelt was by the
financial districts and all its allied
contacts.
at fought him with all the force of
its terrible power; fought him in the
open and from ambush; fought him
through Legislation and the lobby;
fought him through the press and in
any way and every way known to men
of vast wealth and to corporations of
yet vaster wealth. But Roosevelt won
out, and he won because he was right,
and because the American people
believe in him and his policies, and were
back of him.
1.-The archaic practices, which were
then the liberties of man, are today dim
in our memories, disowned and dis
credited. The radicalism of Roosevelt
has taken their place, and has already
mellowed into conservatism. with the
approval and Endorsement of those who
once opposed it.
''This is Catching up with Roosevelt
Congress has caught up with him.
Wall street has caught up with him,
radicalism has gone beyond him. Of
all the big progressives, Roosevelt is
today pre-eminently the biggest and
sanest conservative "a progressive
conservative. - Boston Journal.
