Asks $4,000 For Death.

Mineola, L. l., March 21.-A sealed
verdict was ordered by Supreme Court
Justice Russell Benedict in the Nassau
Supreme Court yesterday afternoon in
the case of Della Flood, Administrative
of the estate of Marie Burns. The case
was one of the most interesting ever
tried at Mineola, and was for the death
of Eugene Burns, formerly policeman
who was detailed on fixed post on the
RIVERSIDE Drive viaduct in Manhattan.
The action is against George Howard
Duval and Frederick Gilman, whom the
plaintiff alleges so recklessly drove an
automobile that the policeman was
killed on the evening of May a, 1913.
The action was brought originally by
Mrs. Marie Burns, the widow, for her
self and also as guardian of the four
minor children, but just before the
case was called at the opening of the
January term she died. The present
plaintiff was appointed Administrative,
and it was this action which was tried
yesterday.
Eugene Burns was formerly a resi-
dent of Glen Cove.
The defendants claimed they were
running the car about twelve miles
an hour, and that it was almost instan-
taneously stopped after they had struck
Policeman Burns. 1t was claimed that
there were deep shadows on the bridge
and also that the policeman had stepped
from the sidewalk in front of the car.
The suit is for $50, 600, and the plaintiff
is represented by John j. Graham. The
verdict will be opened Monday morn
ing.

Leading Doctors Advised
DR.. Kennedy'S FavOrite Remedy.
Nothing Helped Patient So Much-Kept
System I'm Good Condition During
Dangerous Illness.

II is seldom that physicians endorse a
ready prepared medicine, for they have
their own remedies and treatment to pre-
scribe, and we don't blame the doctors in
the least. Often, however, they have to adj
nit that DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
will do more for the patient than their own
prescriptions. Only year or SO ago such
case happened in Kingston, N Y, where
one of the best known women in that his
toric city was attacked with pneumonia, at
the age of SO years. " 1t was an alarming
case. She was attended by three of the
leading physicians in Kingston and by q
renowned specialist from New York City.
She slowly recovered from the pneumonia,
only to be attacked by severe nervousness,
accompanied by distressing and compli-
Gated heart trouble. She could not sleep
and her entire system became even more
debiitated and weakened. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to keep her bowels in reg
ular order and at the same time avoid any
drugs of too drastic a nature. 1t was o

tendents, in consideration of a modest
appropriation for that particular work.
She is anxious to maintain that work,
because her mission is service and
only by service can she live. The
merits of this proposition have nothing
to do with the merits of any other pro-
posal before you in the sphere of high
er education. If the offer we make is
good one, it is not condemned by the
fact that some other offer may be less
meretorious. do not plead for the
life of Middlebury college. That is not
in your keeping. But l do plead that
you will allow Middlebury still to be a
Vermont college, for Vermont youth,
and for the service of the Vermont peo-
pie. We have set the welfare of Yer
mont in our hearts, and we ask you
not to tear it from us by the formula of
an outsider"

Four Hurt One Dying When Autos
Skid

Huntington, L. l., March 20. Four
people were hurt, and one is likely to
die, as the result of accidents caused by
the skidding of two automobiles at diff
ferent times in New York avenue late
this afternoon. In the first crash, Mrs.
Harry Fox was so badly hurt that the
doctors who worked over her gave little
hope of her life, but the others injured
will recover.
About O'Clock a big car, owned and
driven by Harry Fox, in which were
riding his wife and friend, Miss Eliza
beth Misbach, was coming down New
York avenue towards the Huntington
station at fairly rapid rate of speed.
The car skidded on the wet macadam
just before it got to the station and
was thrown against telegraph pole.
The occupants of the car were thrown
out, the pole was smashed to kindling
wood, and the car was completely de-
molished.
Under the back seat, pinned between
part OF the pole and the twisted re-
mains of the automobile, was the body
of Mrs. Fox. Her husband was thrown
clear of the steering wheel when the
crash came. He picked himself up and
tried to help the woman, who was
moaning and crying to be taken out.
For some time, however, he was unable
to get to her, and when, with the help
of some men who had rushed to assist
him, he finally did get to her, she was
unconscious.
Drs. Sword and Henderson hurried to
the scene of the accident, and gave
first add to the woman; but found
her in very serious condition. Her
right thigh was broken, her wrist was
wrenched and broken, her skull was
fractured and she had some internal

Killed by Automobile on Way to
Church.

Miss Catherine NJ. Reddington, q,
was struck and killed by delivery auto
mobile driven by William L. Kilfoy,
aged 20, of 20 Lloyd street, Watertown,
Tuesday night at Aberdeen avenue and
Mt. Auburn street, Cambridge.
Miss Reddington was on her way to
the Lenten servi:e at the church and
had just left the house, where she lived
with her sisters, Rose and Ann Redding-
ton, at 25 Aberdeen averue.
Klfoy was held by the Cambridg
police on charge of manslaughter
He declared that Miss Reddngton must
have been crossing the street diagonal
ly, as he did not see her until the auto
mobile was upon her. Kilfoy stopped
the machine and, with the aid of by
ISLANDERS, placed Miss Reddington in the
machine and carried her to the Cam
bridge hospital, but she was dead when
they arrived Boston Herald.

Injuries.
Miss Misbach was not seriously in
jured. She landed on the side of the
road, and, aside from some bruises and
cuts, her injuries were not painful. She
was treated at home by DR.. Sword, and
was left there. She will probably re-
cover rapidly.
Mr.. Fox was cut and bruised, and
may have some internal injuries, though
it is not thought that he is dangerously
injured.
The other accident happened a short
time later, on New York avenue, near
Halesite. 1t was dark when a big ma
chine, owned by Mrs. Thomas Everit
and driven by Hewlett johnson, was
rushing down the road towards Halesite
and attempted to turn a corner at a rapid
speed Robert Strickland was walking
in the road as the car turned the corner,
and before he could get out of the way
it skidded and hit him. He was thrown
almost twenty feet, and was badly
bruised and cat. He was taken home
at once.

COL. ROOSEVELT'S MISHAP.

New York, March 23. -Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt's family and friends
were anxiously awaiting further advices
to day regarding the accident by which
his party lost its entire equipment in
the rapids of a Brazil river. No
concern, it was stated, was felt for the
safety of the former president.
The news of the mishap came in a
brief message from Anthony Fiala, a
member of the party. 1t was dated at
Santarem, Brazil, yesterday, and read;
1--WE have lost everything in the rapids.
Telephone my wife of my safety"
Santarem is in the State of Para at
the confluence of the Tai ajos river with
the Amazon and the dispatch was
probably sent by courier.
The accident, it is believed here, oc-
Cured on an unknown river which
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., today said his
father, in letter to him, had called the
Rio Duivata or River of Doubt
The specimens of natural history col
lected by the party on its trip up the
Parana and Paraguay rivers are safe, it
is understood here, as the colonel had
indicated he would ship them before he
entered the wilds of Brazil.
The loss in the rapids, outside of
food, arms, camp material and instru-
ments, undoubtedly included the birds

delicate situation. Now the lady had pre-
vously used DIR. Kennedys Favorite REM
edy and she and her family knew of it's
value. The doctors finally decided to allow
her to use it and they found that the results
were more satisfactory than from any other
treatment they had tried. As they were
broad minded and honest men, they advised
her to continue its use, in connection with
their own general treatment. Aided, there
fore, by Favorite Remedy, the good lady
steadily improved and she is now in most
excellent health.
We will give the names Of all parties
upon request. We cite this case as further
proof that DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is highly valuable preparation, as safe as
it is efficient, for the most delicate person.

success in the treatment of Liver, Kidney
and Blood disorders. Send to-day for q

KURIos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q.-My pullets of last season did not
months old. Since, they have laid, but
a poor average, and the eggs are small.
What is wrong? Alt is difficult to
reply, because you give few particulars.
do not even tell the breed. You have
either kept your pullets fat as butter
or they are stunted by some fault in
your methods. Perhaps you don't feed
enough or your ration lacks nutrition.
Q.-Should eggs be turned after they
are pipped? How can | quickly mois-
ten the eggs when chicks stick in shell
without injuring hatch? A.-No. Many
quit turning the eighteenth day. open
incubator door slightly and send a
spray of warm water over eggs with
an atomizer We use the simple ato-
mizer that is used to spray varnish on
to pastel paintings.
Q.-IIow long may turkey eggs be
kept and yet give a good hatch? A
Turkey eggs have been known to hatch
well when month old. 1t is not wise
to keep them so long. however. ana
they should always be kept III a cool

FRIDAY, MARCH 81, 1914.
BUSINESS IN VERMONT.

Reports to Bradstreet's for the week
indicate that labor is Reasonably en-
ployed and prospects are that there will
be further demand for it in various
lines. The condition as to building work
is the best it has been for some time.
Activity along this line is generally
distributed throughout the State.
Winter weather with an unusually
large amount of snow has benefited
to large extent and with the accumu-
lation of logs at the saw mills, those
mills which have delayed saving have
in several instances resumed work the
past week.
At Winooski reports indicate large
force of help is being employed.
Among the granite centers encourag-
ing statements have been made by the
manufacturers that the volume of new
business and amount of work to be
shipped during the spring period is
large and if the orders continue to ac-
cumulate, as they have, additional help
will have to be employed. There is
some small demand now for more work
men.
In this particular line of business,
however, money is coming in slowly.
This is general at this period of the
year but it is the opinion that it is more
noticeable at present. Relief, however,
is not expected until the work of setting
up monuments is underway.
Granite quarries report business to
be coming in reasonably well; some
quarries have a larger amount of new
work than others Prominent among
the reports Of the week is that one
made by the State bank COMM ,sioner
regarding savings bank deposites for
the six months period ending December
81, 1913.
According t. that statement there
was an increase in savings deposits of
over one million and half dollars over
what was shown on deposits for the
period ending June 80, 1913. Reports
received from manufacturers of ma
chinery indicate only fair demand.
Saddlery hardware business shows a
little less demand than was experienced
earlier in the season, although business
done so far this year is about average.
Some maple sugar weather has beer
obtained the past week and few trees
have been tapped but the work is not
general; weather conditions have not
been such as to make this possible.
Retail merchants report only a fan
business but expectations are for gooc
spring trade.
Both the wholesale and retail report
slow collection but these are expected
to improve with the liquidation of ac-
counts which generally take place dur.
ing the early spring months. Building
work in prospect or underway is re-
ported from Brattleboro, Burlington
st. Adams, Barre and Montpelier.
Included in the failures for the week
was one of bankruptcy; three fires af
fecting mercantile interests with dam
ages around $1,000 were reported fol-
the week. One domestic corporation
was chartered.

 Sam Howe presents the famous com edian. Charles Howe this week, in The Heart Charmers," a brand new show, Mr. Howe has always succeeded in fur nishing his audiences with entertain ment of the kind that compels hearty laughter, and this season, from all ac counts, he is doing more along the same lines with the accompaniment of re- markabe scenic and costume equipment. Also MT. Howe has had an entirely new play written which is described as musi- cal comedy in all that the word implies.
 Real satire and pronounced caricature form the basis of MT. Howe's new piece. It is called The Heart Charmers," and is in two acts, with elaborate scenes which are said to faithfully reproduce the locations named by the author. The most pretentious of the scenes shows Mi agara Falls, where MT. Howe is dare ueNu III SnootlnS the cnuteS III d barrel. Another is a replica of the Sheepshead Bay race track. These two scenes are sufficient to convey some idea of the ex- tent to which MT. Howe has gone to pro- vide lively and unusually interesting di- version for his audiences. Mir. Howe re- gards his new character, Moses Cohen as the best that he has ever played and it may be taken for granted that in it he is on the stage. Miss Mildred Stoller one of the cleverest young women on the musical comedy stage, is MT. Howe s sleading woman. She has played here in other productions before and will be readily remembered for tine cleverness of her work. The mysterious Odivio and her 20 Swimming Girls, constitute the headline feature of the oio of four big vaudeville features.
