within the Democratic party to free it.
self from the dominance of Woodrow
Wilson. 1t is preliminary to any con-
test that may be made against his re-
nomination N 1916. The party's leaders
still dislike him. Speaker Clark feels
himself unfairly deprived of the presi-
Dental nomination at Baltimore, and al
ready 60 years old, would like to come
in at the next turn of the wheel if it
can be felicitously arranged. He has
had no earlier opportunity to break
away. He has been compelled to stand
firm for tariff revision and revenue re-
vision as logical party measures. But
here is an issue in which he can obey
the party platform while opposing the
partys chosen leader. And this is one
which, weakening Wilson with several
great racial elements, strengthens with
them as a candidate for 1916 any man
who dares to come out in opposition.
Clark's course is accordingly in line of
least resistance. Much the same is true
of Oscar Underwood, also a candidate
for the presidency. Now is their time
to liberate themselves from the Wilson
thraldom, or at least to lay the basis in
logic and consistence for such fight
for life, if they at any future time in
the next three years, feel disposed to
make it.
They and other Democrats have been
looking for Just this chance. They can
here be more Democratic than Wilson,
more loyal to the platform and the
faith, by opposing him than by any
other course. The contest has accord
ingly turned into a somewhat personal
struggle, in which his defeat would open
the way to his displacement in 1916. If
he loses this legislative battle, he will
lose others. The struggle once begun
will find frequent occasions for renewal.
Hence the Importance of the tolls de-
bate, quite apart from its relations to
national honor and obligations.-Boston

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" Is
Coming Wednesday, April 1.

"Mrs. Wiggs," the celebrated philoso-
pher of the Cabbage Patch" will once
again exploit her humorous and phil
osophical views of life at the opera
house, matinee and night, April /. The
sale of Mrs. Rice's two books, "Mrs.
Wigs and 'Jovey Mary" from which
the dramatization by Mrs. Flexner was
made, have been phenomenal, and, so
too, has been the attendances during
the five years history of the play. Mrs.
Wigs seems to have been the oasis of
the theatrical desert and playgoers
thirsty for warp and wool Of human life,
shot with sunbeams and patterned with
hope, faith and charity, have thronged
to see it. They came to find emotion
and heart interest undefiled and they
found in it delicious bountifulness.
Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" pre-
sents wealth of character types, pho
tographic in their novelty, and yet ow-
ing something of their likeableness to
the kindly genius of the author and
playwright. In the full cast of 26 char
acters almost everyone is definitely rep
resentative of an old and unique type.
Even Cuby, the eft horse" whom Mrs.
Wigs rescues when his flights has riz,"
and who is one of the comical person
ages of the play itself, comes into this
category. Mrs. Wigs" seems destined
to 90 on forever. Its philosophy is so
sweet and whole some, it's tenets so sim
pie and true, its characters so real and
possible. The play viii be presented

about them, it always seems to me
which perennials never achieve. Pos.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
Miss Julia E. Koch Was Sister of
Acquitted Man.

Rutland, March 30.-Miss Julia +.
Koch, sister of William T. Koch, who
was acquitted of the charge of murder
OF Charles Gordon at the last term of
county court, dropped dead at her home
in West Haven yesterday afternoon
shortly after five o'clock. Although she
had not been in the best of health, her
death was unexpected. Her father, Will
liam Koch, is visiting at his former
home in Germany and her brother is
spending the winter in Florida.
Miss Koch was born in Jersey City,
n. j., 30 years ago, but had lived on the
large farm in West Haven for many
years. Miss Koch was particularly in
terested in raising Shetland ponies and
she had at the time of her death some
very well bred horses.
Miss Koch at the time OF the trial of
her brother for the killing of Charles
Gordon, while the latter was poaching
on the Koch game preserve, was very
active in assisting in preparing the de-
Tense and during the trial sat beside her
brother every day.
Although not in excellent health, Miss
Koch felt as well as usual yesterday and
after lying down on couch in the aft
ernoon she arose about 4:30 o'clock and
started for the barn to fed her horses.
She had just reached the barn when she
fell and called out for assistance.
The telephone was out or order but
an employee hurried to Whitehall, N. Y,
and brought physician by boat, but
before he arrived Miss Koch was dead.
She was in Rutland Friday of last week.
Besides her father and brother, Miss
Koch is survived by sister, Mrs. Marie

THE STORY OF EXoGYRA.
A MolluSk Which Enables Biologists to
Identify Rock Formations.

Many thousands of years ago, before
the birth OF the Rocky mountains and
when the shores of the Atlantic ocean
and the Gulf of Mexico lay far inland
from their present position-when, in
deeed the North American continent
was relatively very small-there lived
in the seas and estuaries, together with
various species of oysters, vast numbers
of a closely related mollusk with twist.
ed shell which is now known to science
as Exogyra. As the years passed, the
colonies of Exogyra hourished, and the
places of those that died were taken
by younger members, while the old
shells became entombed within the
slowly accommodating deposits of sand,
mud, and limy ooze. In the progress OF
the centuries there developed in the
shape and ornamentation of the shells
certain changes that were sufficiently
pronounced to enable the specialist OF
to-day not only to distinguish the shells
of members Of the original colonies
from those of their descendants but also
to recognize several distinct varieties
among the later shells.
In the course of time-a very long
time, for we are speaking geologically-
the stresses which had accumulated
within the earth during an extended
period of quiescenee found relief in
movements of the outer crust which
brought about the uplift of the Rocky
mountains and materially altered the
shape and size of the ocean basins. The
resultant shifting of the ocean currents
produced changes in the temperature of
the water and in the abundance and
character of the food supply. The I'M
fortunate Exogyrs, unlike his more
hardy cousin, the oyster, was unable to
adapt himself to the changing physical
conditions and became extinct.
After the lapse of ages the retreat of
the seas from the borders of the CONT
nent brought above sea level the sedi-
ments, now turned in stone and covered
by mass of later deposits, which con-
tinued the fossil shells of the Exogyra.
erasion by rain and running
water has carved valleys and ravines
which expose from top to bo@Som, the
fossiliferous sediments and enable the
geologist to interpret their history,
using the different Yarieties or species
of Exogyra to identify definite rock
beds and thus trace them across country
with a certainty impossible without the
aid of this prehistoric mollusk. The
study of the many fossil animals, she'll
fish. and plants is of the greatest use in
the geologist to classify rocks
which may contain important economic
minerals.
