I appreciate the good will and kindly feeling that .| has always been afforded me here in this body. Senator Wilbur of Little Compton also extended congratulations and sin- cere felicitations to Senator Arnold.

Lieutenant Governor Bliss and Sena- tors Sanborn, Monroe, McKenna, Mow- ry, Plerce and Wade followed in a congratulatory vein. Senator Wade particularly called attention to the fact that he had- known, Semator Arnold personally, for forty years and that Chepachet the dirthplace of both.

Mr. Stillman has made demand upon the office of the United States attorney in Boston for the exclusion of the Holy Bible from the mails on the ground that it contains improper literature. The com- ptaipant notified the government’s rep- réesentative that he (Stillman) is an attorney with right to practice in three states, He conferred with Assistant Unitedl States District_Attorney Ferber Thursday afternoon, but was given lit- tle encouragement as to his mission. Mr. Stilinfan stated that he had been to. see District Attorney Pelletier. by whom he was told to see the federal authorities. He left a copy of the Bible and a copy of The Age of Sci- ence, a book written by J. R. Perry. The attention of the assistant district attorney was_called to several pas- sages in the Bible which Mr. Stillmen decldres are unfit for public reading. Before there was final settlement of the probate court case in which Mr. Stillman was interested he was a fre- auent_visitor in Westerly, but since then he has Riven the town a wide berth.

They emdow young men and women- with advantage in the strus- gle for livelihood, arm them against poverty, aguinst the impulse of crime and the compulston of primitive needs. They train their minds to be nimble, to be exact, to ‘be confident and ca- pable. Al this teaching is for the good of the student, for his own betterment. I 1o other. schools than the medical universities is emphasis laid upon self- denial. Tn no other schools: are men and women bred to be ready, to be willing, to make efficient sacrifices for any in need, brother or friend or stran- ger. The harder the medical profes- sfon works along its present lines the nearer it comes to cutting its own throat. In quelling disease it pushes away its own bread. A reduction in the number of medical schools and the placing of a limit upon their output of graduates will remove the dangers of illegitimate practice and make ' thess tenets of self-denial more conspicuous and bring them something like their just reward.—Toledo Blade.

A Prima Donna’s Discovery. ‘The emotions of Keats in first look- ing into Chapman’s Homer are rare in a day of crammed and bored candi- dates for a college entrance examina- tion in English, but an ornament of the lyric stage has apparently dupli- cated the experience. “For the first time in my life,” she is reported to bave said, “I am reading the Bible.” And she goes on to offer evidence, not only ‘of reading, but of her historical judgment. “I was reading about Solo- mon, and I just adore him.” It was In Philadelphia that the new planet swam into her ken, and that, like stout Cor- tez (whe was really Balboa), she star ed at the strange sight with the“wild surmise” which the Paclfic aroused in the bold Spaniard.

There has been introduced in the Massachusetts legislature a bill to prevent will contests, by thé simple expedient of providing that when a man has made and executed his will, he may go before a probate court and have the yuestion of his legal ability to thus dispose of his property passed upon. . There are obvious advantages In this plan. Heirs would, of course, have a right to be heard, but those who thought they were not generously dealt with, might, from motives of pol- icy, refrain from making any sugges- tion that the person making the will was of unsound mind. There would be the possibility, not to say the prob- ability, that soundness of mind would bo established. Then there might be danger that the man of property, act- ing upon a very natural impulse, would make & new will, which might in turn be sustained, and which would make the last state of the doubters worse than the first. The bill is approved ex-Attorney General Albert o} Misbury of Massachusetts, who say: “The looting of dead men'’s estates has now become an established indus- try_in Massachusetts, as it has been in New York for many vears.
