TARIFF THE CHIEF ISSUE.
Wilson Will Emphasize This. 1t is Said,
In His Speech of Acceptance.

Seagirt, y. j., July 30-Governor Will
son is still at sea aboard private yacht
putting the finishing touches to his
speech of acceptance of the presidential
nomination. No word of any kind came
| from him to the summer capitol yes
terday. He will probably return to Sea
grit tonight. A week will have elapsed
since his departure to seek seclusion in
which to write his speech, and the time
is growing short to prepare it for the
press.
The speech will be the governors first
public comment on the Democratic plat
form as an entirety. 1t will be delivered
here on Aug. at the ceremony of notlti-
cation. If the day is fine the governor
probably will talk from little knoll in
his yard beneath a group of elms, and
his audience will sit on camp stools on the
green. While the governor has declined
to forecast his speech, it is known def
nitely here that the tariff will be dealt
with as the leading issue. In close rela-
tion to this the governor places the high
cost of living. The latter he is said to
regard as but a development of the pres
ent tariff system.
Friends of the governor, in the light Of
his past utterances on this question and
from manuscripts he left behind him
when he went into seclusion, assert that
the governor viii declare in his speech
for a tariff for revenue and not for free
trade. and that he will urge a gradual,
rather than a sweeping reduction in the
various tariff schedules, until the tariff
becomes actually an instrument for rev.
enue, as he defines the word, and not for
protection.
There is no doubt in their minds
that the governor will devote some por-
ton of his speech to the relation between
what he calls big business and the
tariff. They point to speeches made by
the governor before his nomination, in
which he declared that the growth of
"big business" has made the tariff the
cries, as originally propounded, anti
quated; and upon these declarations
they base their forecast.

big leagues oftener than any other per
son in the history of baseball, is at pres
ent doing slab work for the Baltimore
club of the old Eastern league. Doescher,
the old Rutland pitcher, takes his regular
turn on the mound for the Jersey City
| team.
In the New England league are few
familiar faces McGovern, who some
times caught for the Barre team, is man
aging the Lynn club. He is having medi-
OGRE success with the showing of his
team. "Pete" Clemens, the Hardwick
boy, is hitting and fielding at a terrific
clip for the Lowell club. Bonnie Bow
cock is still able to hold down an infeld
position Bowcoclx is covering second
base for the Fall River team. Bowcock
played with the Barre team in the first
year of the old league.
Then there was "Dave" Shean, who
used to scintillate about Northern league
diamonds, now playing shortstop with
Providence of the international circuit,
after several tries in major league COM
pany. Shean WAS a fast man for the
old Vermont circuit, and he would have
proven his standing In the big league
had he been able to connect with the
ball to better advantage. Nevertheless,
he is strong player and is doing well
with Providence.
Kritchel OF the st. Louis Americans
was once Northern league backstop,
who graduated into the big leagues.
kritchell was slight in build when play.
ing with Plattsburg, and the lack Of
weight is what is keeping him back in
fast company.
A man who "made good with major
league pitchers was doc" Seanlon, once
with Plattsburg, who went to the Brook.
Ign team of the National league and was
for several years one of the abest pitch
ers of that team and one of the most
consistent twirlers of the big league, al
though not wholly successful Scanlon
has given up the baseball business.
There are many others who left the
old Northern league for the more adj
vanced leagues who have likewise endc,l
their baseball careers or are playing with
the minors once more. Flynn, who came
to Barre Montpelier from Holy Gross col
lege, is now in the West, after a few
seasons with the big league, notably
with the Pittsburg Pirates. Flynn was
a first-sacker for the B. & NJ. team and
a heavy hitter. Jimmy" Morgan of
one of the Northern leagues
best infielders, stayed with faster COM
pany for a time, playing with Montreal. |
Eaton, the hard working catcher of an
old Barre Montpelier team. went back |
into the New England league for sea
son or two. Paddy Duff, target for the
pitcher, essayed the big leagues before
and after hitching on with Barre Mont
pelier. Hub Hart, also catcher was
with the Chicago Americans for time.
Standard, the hard hitter, was with /
Springfield Mass, for some seasons after
failing to come back under the Intercity
fold
In addition to the men mentioned,
there are Others whose names do not
,ome to mind at present. all Of whom
we're ball players through and through
md who owed much of their ability to

asst little Northern league, which -four

yesterday morning as that of Miss Dor

The name "Dorcas Snodgrass" was
found on the underwear.
1t is considered possible that Miss
Snodgrass may have been murdered.
Mount Vernon relatives of the missing
nurse yesterday hurried here to look

body tailed exactly with that of the
missing girl. according to her sister, Mrs.
John l.. Order.
Mrs. Order said yesterday morning
that if the name could be found on the

OLD DISEASE is lNCURABLE
Whole Families Are Afflicted With All.
urophobla, or Fear Of Cats
Grows More Intense.

At a meeting OF field naturalists'
society in Edinburgh one Of the mem
bers read q paper on ailurophobia
which means the fear OF cats" and
cited numerous examples Of persons
for whom the ordinary harmless cat
possesses the greatest repellant pow
ers. Whole families are afflicted with
IT. according to the paper. and the per.
sons so afflicted either tainted or went
into Mysteries If a cat brushed against
their clothes. II was agreed by all
who had any knowledge OF such cases
that It was a genuine disease and that
II was incurable. and also that the
aversion to felines grew more intense
with the age Of the afflicted one.
This is only one interesting phase OF
a study which has always been OF SUI
preme interest TO students of heredity.
They probably would explain that 1t is
the recollection Of some remote ances-
tors fear Of the great felines that
made primeval life miserable, surviv-
ing countless generations Of immunity
from molestatlon or the fear of IT.
These instructive likes and dislikes
which come down to us more or less
vaguely and only break out in pro-
nounced guise in odd cases are less
frequent with human beings than with
animals.

The respiration OF animals is well

The fact that plants and parts OF

carbon dioxide and water as a result
OF the action of the oxygen on some
OF their contents. Parts of plants
when cut of from the main stem do
not die at once. and must continue to

severed part is leafy branch, a fruit
or root; but some parts live much
longer after removal than others.
