October l6, 1855. From 1875 to 1880,
when her father was President of the
college, she resided in Middlebury, She
was married to Mr., Rogers August 8,
1881. Their home for many years has
been in Ohio, where Dr. Bogers, who

mensly admired by all who knew her.
She was highly talented by nature and
highly educated, yet she was most
thoroughly democratic in her attitude
towards people and towards the problems
of life. Her wit and humor dubbed
over, her philosophy was unique but
sound, her phases incsive and explicit,
her sympathy was wide. She was the
author of Children of the Night, " a
story full of pathos and delicate humor,
and she had collected a great mass of
material for a book which was to have
given proper names used as adjectives
and to have shown their origin.
The entire community deeply SYM
pathizes with Or. Rogers and her fam
lily in her death.

Now that we have had time to think
things over after election there seems
to be no reason why Republicans should
be unduly depressed Four years ago
the party was utterly demorallzed'
Their candidate had come out a bad
third and been beaten by an over
whelming popular vote. In the recent
election the Republicans failed by only
a slight margin in few States where
they were handicapped by local diff
ferences. They carried the industrial
centers and all the usually doubtful!
States. They sounded ringing call to
real preparedness, for self-respectlng
Americansm, for a firm, consistent,
and vigorous foreign policy -doctrlnes
for which the American people will one
day be grateful to them In the dis
appointment of defeat the party can not
fail tolearn some useful lessons. The
stand.pat unconverted Republican
party will never win another national
election. If such men as Smoot and
Penrose and Crane and Barnes and
Parsons are kept in the saddle as Re-
publican leaders, other defeats will
follow. The hope of the party is in
men like Raymond Robins, Hiram
Johnson. and Senators Borah and
Pondexter, yes, and Theodore Roose-
welt. When the progressive Republican
ism of the West is matched by a Re-
publicanism that is truly progressive in
the East, such defeats as those of the
last two elections will be impossible.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be

CURED by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Cararrhal Deafness
is caused,by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure acts through
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dol liars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

 Commissioner(Ellis. CAN STAY
 AT HILLSIDE HOME Salary Boost For Morrissey Is Contemplated By
 Department.

That the term of Spencer R. Cor don as Superintendent of the chari- ties department will be brought to a close at the first meeting of the board in March was the opinion expressed today by a man high in the admins tration.
 The appointment is being sought by three local men. Investigator Alex ander Morrissey is being considered for the position but it is not believed that he will procure the appointment. Morrissey is regarded as efficient in his present capacity as investigator. As a solace to Investigator Morrissey he will be given a raise in his saIanA-.
 The salary of superintendent of charities will also probably be raised from $2,40O to $SJOO0 or $3,5OO. There will be no new superintendent at LakevieW home providing Dr. J. J. Macdonald wishes to accept a reap pointment.
 When the meeting of the board of charities is held early in March the name of Supt. Spencer R. Gordon will be offered for reappointment by Com missioner T. L. Ellis.

BRIDGEPORT WILL STAGE NEXT STATE CONVENTION
 OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Bridgeport staged the first state wide rumble in political events of this presidential year today when the Democratic State Central committee met here to name the date and place of the spring convention.
 Despite the conspiracy of the eIe- ments to tie-up transportation faciI- ties, there was a good-sized gathering of Democratic leaders at The Strat- field when the committee and guests sat down to luncheon at 1:3O o'clock. The luncheon was delayed an hour in order that the beiated noon trains might deliver their quota of politi- clans.
 That Bridgeport can have the spring convention was conceded before the committee met for business. It was expected that there would be little or no opposition to the selection of this city. The convention, which probably will be held before the mid dle of May, will elect 14 delegates and alternates to the national convention in St. Louis.
 Two of Bridgeport's three members of the committee were represented. Patrick H. Brady. of the Twenty-Sec= ond district, was present in person, and Col. T. J. Murphy held the proxy of Michael J. C1abby, of, the Twenty First district. William F. Russell was not present.
 Train schedules were awry because of the storm and cold weather, and it was after noon when the advance guard of committeeman and others arrived at The StratfieId.
 Patrick B. O'Su11ivan of Derby, sec retary of the committee, was a bit belated in arriving, and David E. F'itz- gerald, of New Haven, the chairman, was still awaited at 1 o'clock.
 The luncheon, which was schedul- ed for 12:30 o'clock. was delayed un- til the early afternoon trains had ar rived.
