out an understanding that in the end
he is have the solid support of the
New York delegation 90 strong. That
will be expected to start a landslide
to Clark, and insure his nomination.
In short. Wilson men are asserting
that Clark had to be taken to the top
of a high mountain and shown all the
treasures of the earth and promised
they shall be his in return for his sup
port for Parker. In the national
committee last night the selection of
Parker was brought about by the sup
port of Clark national committee
men. or national committeeman from
states which Clark has carried.
Wilson men are charging that Clark
has gone into alliance with the Par
ker people and the conservative wing
of the party generally on the tenn
porary chairman in order to be as
sured of the support of that element
when h time comes to ballot for the
presidential nomination.
Some of the delegates from Mary
land and from West Virginia are at
heart for Harmon and welcome any
situation which they can construct as
releasing them from their nstruc-
tons.

Some times hundreds of light-giving
organs are disposed all over the body

lights set in rows running from head

peculiar arrangement of the luminous

the calling together of the tribes.

That the moo is not round. but
oval, is the conclusion reached by
Prof. C~astadilobo of Coimbra univers-
ity. Portugal. the report of whose OBJ
s%ervations during the recent total
eclipse of the sun was read this week
before the academy of sciences. He
took acknowledgement pictures of the
whole OF the eclipse and was rewarded
in finding from the films that at the
time Of the maximum observation the
moon. while completely blotting out
the sun at top and bottom, did not
quite cover it on the right and left.
From this he concluded that the satel-
lite. like the earth, is not a sphere.
The difference between the greatest
mated by him at less than three miles.
Another curious communication
made this week to the academy shows
that men of the stone age suffered
from govt, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
and many other modern diseases.
While in charge of prehistoric excava-
tons in L~izy-sur-Our. in the Seine-et-
Marine department, Archaeologist
Baudoin. who is equipped with wide
medical knowledge. has been examin-
ing over a hundred skeletons of the
stone age, men and women, and he
finds that a large proportion have de-
formations of the spinal column. These
are stated to be certain evidence that
the men of a thousand centuries ago
suffered from many forms Of chronic
arthritis. such as are common nova
days. The results have been confirmed
by other scientists. and 1t is now be-
lieved possible to construct a COM
plete pathology of the stone age.

n LAW.

DR.. Spitzka forward to pu,
in a dissent to the recent decision h,
Judge Sulzberger of Philadelphia in
which 1t was held that the objection
by parents to operations to remove
physical defects in children was valid
This ruling was based on the natural
authority Of the parent and the view
that Yer the best surgical authority
Is not so infallible that dangerous OF
unexpected results might not follow
the operation. To this view DR.. spitz-
ka opposes the fact hat a surgical
operation in youth is often the means
Of removing deformities or weakness
that would be handicaps for life. He
urges that the child be given the nor
of mankind. For the good of the
community. he also contends. its fu-
ture citizens should be brought I ma
turity in as perfect physical condi-
ton as possible.
It is probable that Judge Sulzber-
gers ruling has for its foundation
the feeling hat surgeons have a pro-
fessional fondness for operations. The
law, as a rule, is strong for protecting
the community. 1t does not directly
enact hat children shall be vacci-
mated; but it reaches the end by pro.
hibiting their attendance at school
unless they are vaccinated and Their
fining the parent unless ne sends
them to school. We question whether
in a case where 1t was plain that the
chiid's life depended on an amputa-
tion-as in the 8 Of modification
in a wounded l~imb-Judge Sulzber-
ger would not order the operation
performed whether the parent agreed
Or not.
The law should provide full safe
guards against operations on slight
reasons Or involving desperate haz-
ards.

Good Work on ReynO Circuit

Rev. j. f. Carter gave us brief

conference at Newport. He says
that during the year just closed

to paying their part of the PASTORS

new church at that place and that
Reyno has paid the sum of six
hundred dollars on the new Metho

were paid in full.

The Teachers Reading Circle
met as usual Saturday afternoon
with a good attendance and an in
teresting meeting. Several absent
on account of sickness. The
presentation of chapters one and
two by Mr.. Phlpps and Mr.. Hulen
were very interesting and brought
out how a practical application Of
the things learned could be made.
The third chapter was informally
discussed by all and many good
hints brought out.
The young teachers and those
expecting to teach are losing much
If they fail to attend the circle.

and six presented by Mr.. Fulmer

respectively. Next meeting will be

SIOses Years Work

Rev. w. j. Leroy preached his
farewell sermons at the Methodist
church Sunday. A large crowd
was present al each service aud the
preacher was given good attention.
"The Final Triumph" subject at
the morning service, was especially
interesting. "The Apostolic Bene-
dlction, at the evening service was
also good.
These services conclude Rev. 'Le-
Roy's work here for the second
year. He is attending the annual
conference at Newport this week,
and will ask to be relieved from
work for the next year. 1t is his
intention to go to Nashville, Tenn,
for a year and ;akea much needed
rest. During the last year his
throat has become affected and up
on the advice of physicians he must
cease active work for a time.
Bro. Leroy has done a great
work for the church in Pocabontas
aud many members regret very
much that he will not be returned
here for another year. Under his
ministry the church has grown
wonderfully IN numbers and many
members, who we're formerly IN
active, have become good workers
in the church.

good report, not only as to his own

DEATH ANGEL CLAIMS
MISS MYRTLE DALTON

Miss Myrtle, beloved daughter of
DIR. and Mrs. J. w. Dalton, died
at the family home near Dalton
Wednesday morning bout 2
o'clock.
Miss Dalton was stricken with
appendicitis several days ago aud
Notwithstanding the very best OF
medical skill was secured the case
was of such a nature that all efforts
to overcome the disease were IN
vain. Tuesday afternoon, however,
it was thought that she was improy
ing and her uncle, 4. Dalton,
who had been at her bedside since
Sunday, returned home only to re.
ceiye the shocking message few
hours later that she was dead.
The death OF this young lady is
certainly sad blow to the family,
the relatives and her many friends.
She had Just finished her education
and was in the prime of young
womanhood, being 93 years of age.
She was very beautiful and Of a
loyable disposition, kind and airec.
tionate with her friends and loved
ones. Besides her parents she
leaves four sisters, Mrs. j. o.
Hatcher of tins city, Mrs. Tom
Wilson and Mrs. Marvin Henderson
of Imboden, and a younger sister,
Miss Elsie, at home.
The remains were inferred in the
Masonic cemetery here Thursday
afternoon by the side of other mem
bers of the Dalton families, who
are buried here, the funeral being
conducted under the direction of
Undertaken Midkiff. Religious
services were conducted at the
Methodist church by Rev j. w.
Thomas, pastor of the First Metho-
dist church of Imboden. Mi. 5
Dalton was a member of the Epis-
copal church, but there being no
oficiation clergy of that church
here, Rev. Thomas was chosen 10
conduct the services.
And thus the ruthless hand of
death brought great sorrow to many
homes that day, but with eyes OF
faith those left to weep should be
able to look beyond this veil Of
tears into the bright eternal home
where rests the soul of the departed,
and strive TO emulate the noble ex-
ample of the one who was called so
soon to the Inheritance that endures
evermore, so that when the final
restitution of all things shall be
made in that day that an unbroken
family may be gathered there to
share the riches of His great glory
forever. We are passing through
the shadow but there is no dark
valley there.
