PILGRIMAGE To SHRINE
CURED GIRL PARALYTIC

Lima, o., May 31.-kathleen
Daugherty, 81 years old, for Il
years an invalid and unable to move
about except in a wheeled chair,
stepped from a train here and was
greeted by a crowd of fully 500
persons. She had been cured, it is
said, at the shrine of Our Lady of
Consolation at Carey during the ma
nual pilgrimage Sunday.
Miss Ella McAulifee, an aged aunt
of the girl, was at the depot. She
was the first one to greet the young
woman. "Auntie, I'm cured" cried
the girl. The aunt, completely over
come, rainted.
The girl has been unable to move
a muscle of her body since a mere
child, when she was stricken with
paralysis. For two years she was
partially blind. She made the pill
grimage to Carey Sunday with 700
others from Lima and vicinity. Mon
day she was cured and apparently
permanently so. She left her wheel
ed chair at the shrine in Carey.

FAITH WAS SHATTERED
UNCOVERED SHORTAGE

Henderson, KY, May 31.-One OF
the most important civil cases ever
tried in this county is in progress in
the Circuit Court. r. w. Nichols,
prominent farmer, is seeking to OBJ
tain a judgment against the Plant
ers' State Bank for $4,000, alleged
to have been on deposit when the
bank was wrecked by Ingram Crock
EFT, former cashier, now serving a
term of five years in the State pris-
on. Nichols who cannot read nor
write. allowed Crockett to attend to
his banking business. He left his
deposit book in Crocketts hands
and testified he believed Crockett
would give him credit whenever he
made a deposit. Crockett's defalca-
tions were unearthed by Nichols,
who sold a herd of cattle ore day,
bringing him $4,000. The following
day Nichols gave check for 1000
in payment for a farm and the check
was returned with Endorsement "in-
sufficient funds" Nichols advised
the State Banking Commissioner,
with result that Crockett was detect
ed and placed under arrest.

TRIBUTES FROM ABROAD
TO WILSON'S DIPLOMACY

We still hear more or less-but
rather less of late-concerning the
alleged discredit and dishonor Pres
ident Wilson's diplomacy has
brought upon the United States in
the eyes of foreign nations. 1t used
to be called by an eminent predeces-
sor the laughing stock of Europe"
We do not hear SO much of that
phrase just now.
And what do they say abroad
about this discredit? What about
the Presidents last note to Germa-
ny? Former French Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, Mr.. Pichon, writes
OF the notes "conciseness, firmness
and charity" The Petit Parisien
finds that in President Wilson, En-
peror William has met his MASTER"
Other Paris papers refer to the Pres
ident's last move as "a masterpiece
OF diplomacy" Italian newspapers
agree that Germany gave in COM
pletely TO the American demands"
And even the German Volkszeitung

THE HARTFORD HERALD
PRICE ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR
infant DEATH RATE IS
WORSE Than IMAGINED
The Most Tragic Waste in the
United States Is That
of Babies.

In many respects the United States
is the most wasteful country in the
civilized world. The most tragic
waste is that of babies. Too many
of them die. New Zealand has
shown that there is no need for more
than so babies out of each 1000
born, to die. But with us rate of
less than 100 is not considered dis
graceful.
In our larger cities the lowest
rates are found upon the Pacific
Coast. Oakland's rate is "A, that of
San Francisco II and Portland and
Seattle are SO and IS, respectively.
Higher rates are found in the South.
Nashville and Montgomery have the
horrible distinction of permitting
1872 and 1S5 of each 1000 babies to
die in their first year. Fit. Worth
has a rate of 1877, as has Lynchburg.
Passaic, N. j., holds the black
championship. probably because
Passaic women totter to the factory
after confinement. Its rate is 1874.
La Crosse, Wis, is the best city for
a baby. 1t heads the list with rate
OF 81. Ogden, Utah. is second with
a rate of 40.
In New York City the rate is SO.
This sounds high, but it has been re-
duced each year since 1911, when it
was 112. More is done to keep ba-
bies alive in New York than in any
other large city of the land.
Boston's average for the years
from 1906 to 1910 was 1873. Since
then it has been reduced each year,
until a slight rise in 1915. The fig
ures for the years since 1910 have |
been 1875, lis, Ill, 1O3 and 104.
The reduction in the death rate
for infants is accomplished only by
hard work. The effect of nurses,
who visit the homes where there is a !
newborn child and educate the
mother out of ignorance and tradi- !,
tion into the principles of proper :
care for her child, is always seen in :
the death rate 1t falls as mothers
become wiser about their children. !
In the last six or seven years much
of this work has been done in Bos-
ton, and our babies have a better
chance.-[BOston Globe.

SOFT COAL RATES ARE
SUBJECT TO REVISION

Washington, June 2.-Revision OF
freight rates on bituminous coal
from mines in Illinois. Kentucky
and Alabama to points in Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee
were ordered by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to become effec-
tive August 1.
Rates from the Alabama fields to
Mississippi and Louisiana would be
generally lowered from five to TWEEN
ty cents ton, while rates from ILL
nois and Kentucky mines to the
same points in most cases would be
increased. The result, it is believed,
will place mines in Illinois and Ken
lucky more nearly on competitive
basis with mines in Alabama.

HISTORICAL ISLAND
OF BlENNERnASSETT
And the Tragic Life Of Its Own.
err, Associated With
Aaron Burr.

Fourteen miles below the moutl
of the Muskingum, in the Ohio river
lies an island comprising about 20,
acres which forms a part of WOOD
county, w. Va, and is known az
Blennerhassett island.
Nearly a hundred years ago it wa.
the scene of one of tle most dra
matte events ever presented In the
West. To that island Hermon Blen.
nerhassett, son of wealthy and no.
BILE family of Ireland, brought his
equally cultivated and aristocratiC
young wife in 1897, lured by de-
scriptions of the beauty and wealth
of Western America, to establish
their home.
Aaron Burr, bent on the estab-
lishment of a sovereign government
somewhere in the West, with him
nerhassetts on a Western tour and
drew them into his scheme. When
the Government discovered the plot,
Blennerhassett was arrested with
Burr, his princely home on the Ohio
river was wrecked and despoiled and
the real estate attached by a credi
tor of Burr, who held notes that
Blennerhassett had Endorsed.
In spite of this Blennerhassett
stood by Burr even in his disgrace,
and it was not until he found that
Burr, having got from him all his
property or caused him 10 lose it in
one way or another, was willing to
cast him aside, that his eyes were
opened to the fact that ne had been
duped. Blennerhassett never re-
couped his fortunes. The wreck and
ruin of his life and estate were COM
plete and permanent.
In the trial for treason, both Burr
and Blennerhassett were acquitted,
but were later hailed before the
State Court of Ohio at Chilicothe to
answer to a charge of violation of
the laws of that State. Those
charges never came to trial.
Blennerhassett was born shortly
after the middle of the eighteenth
century. He died in poverty on the
island of Guernsey in 1921. His
widow, returning broken hearted to
the United States, secured the intro !,
duction of bill in Congress giving
her $4,000 damages for the de- :
of the Blennerhassett home |
by the militia of Virginia on the &C.
casion of the discovery of the Burr
plot. Henry Clay championed her
claim, but while it was pending she
died.
The Blennerhassetts had three
sons. The eldest became dissipated |
and died in a New Orleans debauch,
the second was an imbecile and died |
in New York about 1854, and the
other one was killed while serving
rs a soldier in the Confederate army.
