splendid sort of individual. He was
keen mentally and possessed of a
good knowledge of human nature in
its many phases. In law he stood high
AS citizen he was rated as one of
the best. AS man he was held in
high esteem throughout the state.
The degree of esteem in which he
was held is exemplified by the many
honors which came to him ever since
he was first admitted to the bar back
in 1877. That he was denied the
honor, which he sought, of being a
representative of Vermont in Con-
gress, was not because of a low esti-
mate of his worth by his fellow-cit-
liens. And, in this connection, it is
rather strange coincidence that he
should have passed away on the day
when another contest was being
waged very similar to the one in
which he participated six years ago.
Though denied the distinction of
going to Congress, Mr.. Dunnett had
since then been given other recogni-
ton, which showed the extent of the
confidence in which his fellow citi-
zens held him. He was of the type
truly representative of the state and
had come to be recognized as one of
the states leading citizens.

According to the findings in the

an older boy had placed a loaded re-

younger boy began to manipulate the
weapon and at length put a bullet in

from his person while he engaged in
work was not extended to a greater
degree than it was for the protection
of others who might come in contact
with the revolver after it had been
removed from the owners person. In
other words if he thought it was not
safe for him to carry the revolver
about his person while he went about
work which might have carried an
element of danger to himself, why did
he not realize that there might be
equally as much danger to someone
else if he left the weapon lying where

Those who consider there is moth

change their minds if they had seen
the 7G6 different species displayed
this summer at the Fairbanks mu-
scum in St. Johnsbuly. Vermont is a
wonderful state to be able to display
80 many forms of plant life in the
summer season; and it is probable
that the list might have been materi-
ally heightened. Quite study and
very interesting, we should say.

A AS SPEAKER.

THE Washington Star, one of the
most conservative and influential
newspapers of the East, recently pub
lished an editorial which is of much in
terest to all who know the veteran
congressman Champ Clark and espec-
islly to those in his home district.
After mentioning his nomination and
the sureness of his reelection it
says:
Something that will work in Mr..
Clark's favor is the fact that if the
next House is democratic and he a
cmber, he will probably be Speaker
again. He served his party well in
the chair for eight years, and retired
with the thorough good will of both
sides of the chamber. His experience,
therefore, as a presiding officer is an
asset his party will not be likely to
overlook if the gavel comes it's way
again.
"Mr. Clark is a veteran legislator.
He first appeared OF Capitol Hill as a
representative in the Fifty-third Con-
gress. He was defeated for r~e-elec-
ton, but came back two years later,
nd has been a member of every
House since"

CURRAN WOULD AMEND
BUILDING TAX MEASURE
Bill FolloUs State Lov to
Avoid Unconstitutionolify.

Henry II. Curran, President of the
Borough Of Manhattan, introduced In the
Board of Aldermen yesterday an amend
ment to the proposed tax exemption or
dinance recently offered by Adermtn
William T. Collins. Democratic floor
leader, for the purpose Of encouraging
construction of dwellings
President Curran's amendment, which
was referred to the committee on gem
eral welfare, provided that until January
/, 1882, new buildings, planned for
dwelling purposes exclusively, except
hotels, shall be exempt from taxation for
local purposes other than for assess
ments for local improvements He de-
clared that the purpose of the amend
ment was to follow the letter of the new
State law and to eliminate the POSSIBLE
ity of the proposed ordinance being in
validated on constitutional point
Mr.. Collins opposed the amendment on
the ground that the city wuold lose
$4,000, 600 In taxes and that "the million
aire who built a mansion and the builder
who erected dwellings months ago would
demand exemption" The Collins ordi-
nance, which is now in committee, pro-
vides for all investigation by the Tene-
ment House Commits soner and approval
by the Board of Estimate before exemo-
ton is granted.
