Woman Crazed by Burns

Mrs. Stephen Packard, of Wall
ingford, was severely burned and
partly crazed in trying to save val
uables in the upper story of her
burning home late Saturday night.
Mrs. Packard, who is 60 years old
was alone III the house, and as the
nearest neighbor lives a quarter of a
mile away, sle had to act for her.
self. She tried to gain the upstairs
rooms of the house, but was driven
back. Her own clothing caught file
and she extinguished the flames by
rolling in the snow, but not until
she had been seriously burned.
Mrs. Packard was discovered by
young men from the village in an
apple tree with clothesline in her
hand. She gave no account of her
queer position, but it is supposed
that she was partly crazed by the
pain of her wounds and the intense
cold, and may have intended to hang
herself. The thermometer in that
section registered 20 degrees below
zero at the time of the fire.

Railroads Getting Together :?

There were some indications last
week that the Connecticut valley
railroad controversy is nearer set
Element, according to Brattleboroi
dispatch, even though the dove of
peace is not yet lowering over Brat
tleboro, the storm center for many
months.
A. b. Corthell of Boston, chief
engineer for the Boston and Maine
road, and three assistants went to
Brattleboro early in the week to
meet Central Vermont engineers,
but on account of a misunderstand-
ing the other party went to Boston.
Engineer Curtis of the construction
department of the road and Assistant
Griffin came to Brattleboro and went
over the proposed line. 1t is under
stood that accommodations have
been engaged in town for party of
Boston and Maine engineers who are
coming to work for about two
weeks. !.
Although no official statements
have been made it is very gratifying
to the people of that locality that th e
two roads are still negotiating on a
mutual agreement whereby both
roads will be benefited, which will
in turn benefit the Connecticut
river valley in the matter of better
service.

Watterson on the Democratic
~ Outlook.

ssWhat about the Democracy, Mr..
Watterson?" "The Democrats in
congress seem at leastto realize that
the practical business of the country
and not doctrinal or dogmatic theo-
rizing is isiequired of those who look
to command the suffrage of the
people. The recent pension grab
would give the party very black
eye, except that the Republicans are
tarred by the same brush. On the
whole, however, l expect that under
the lead of the Incompatible Under
wood, that the party will pursue a
fairly straight line aahead, and have
great faith that the result will bring
it into the running head and tail
erect"
"You are quoted, MIR. Watterson,

Democrats have a sure chance of
winning their presidential ticket

upon what l believe to be an ire

WHITE HAIR OVERNIGHT.
a German Scientist says sueh Thing
couldnt Possibly tiappsn.

A cherished popular belief ia that
Of the sudden blanching Of the hair
from fright, worry or other severe
mental strain. 1t plays its part in
the drama and in fiction, while his
tory records its famous instances.
Who has not heard that Marie An
toinette's hair turned white during
the night before her execution or
that the deeds and terrors of st.
Bartholomew night blanched the
hair Of Henry Twp Most Of US
wondered how the change could
come about as rapidly as tradition
relates, and yet so universal is the
belief in this phenomenon that few
have the hardihood to doubt it.
And yet Stieda, a hard headed Ger
man scientist, boldly says that it
isn't so at all. This refractory Ger
man first proves that such thing
couldn't possibly happen, and then,
not satisfied, declares that it never
did happen. With equal disregard
of folk lore, history and medical lit
erature, he points the finger of
doubt and challenges many long de-
ceased historians and physicians to
arise and prove their stories.
He claims that when the hair
turns white under ordinary condi-
tions it does 30 in one of two ways.
Either the pigmented hairs fall out
and are replaced by unpigmented
hairs, or, less commonly, pigment
production stops in growing hair
and the colorless portion gradually
replaces the darker outer segment.
As the growing Of new crop of
hair in a single night is beyond the
possibilities, Stieda must needs dis
credit all tales of such miraculous
transformation, says the Journal Of
the American Medical Association.
This he does at length, taking mp
the best known instances of such
supposed blanching of hair and
finding them all lacking in support
sufficient to meet critical considera-
ton, much less such control as to
establish an acceptable scientific
demonstration. For example, he
doubts the story of Marie Antoin-
ette's sudden loss of hair pigment,
stating that although the queen GER
tainly was gray at The time of her
execution, yet this was no novelty,
for she was also gray nine months
before, at the time the king met his
sudden end at the hands of the rev.
olutionists.
AS for the rest Of the reputed
cases, many are nothing better than
old wives tales, while others are exs
amples of credulity substituted for
healthy skepticism and careful in
vestigation. The explanation of
fered for several instances is Sim
ply that the keeper of the jail or
dungeon in which the unhappy
heroine or hero was confined neg
lected to furnish his guests dress
ing table with the hair dye to which
the latter had been accustomedsat
home, and that nature asserted it
self before release or execution.

Richeson Sentenced to Death.

A plea of guilty of murder in the

in Boston Tuesday. He had pleaded
not guilty when arraigned after his
indictment on the charge of poison
ing Avis Linnell, but following his
written confession, made public Sat-
urday, it was arranged for him to
rctract his plea and make formal
plea of guilty, which was done Tues
day.

clergyman to death in the electric
chair at the state prison at Charles
