The boys were decorating during the evening for A Thanksgiving ball and left the hall about 9:30 o'clock. The fire broke out, it is supposed, in the dressing room near the stage.

A fire had been built in the stove that even1ng, and it is thought that the flames caught from the stove or from a defect in the chimney At one time the firemen thought they had the flames under control and one or two companies withdrew, but suddenly the fames burst out along the whole length of the roof and the fire alarm again called companies together. The damage to the building will be in the vicinity of $1,500 and is well covered by insurance. In addition to the meat market, the building was occupied by the Saw Brothers' laundry, Hill's paint shop, Packard's meat market and a tenement occupied by Mr. Gaskill. The St.

Johnsbury Guards recently closed a contract with Mr. Stanley, leasing the butlding for five years for an armory. They were to have taken possession next month. The building will doubtless be repaired and put in better condition than before. NORTH TROY NARRATIONS.D.

Argus and Patriot. Montpelier, Nov.

24, 1897. Various Editorial Notes. Congressman Grout declares that he is in the hands of his friends. When he looks over the number of men he has disappointed in the distribution of postoffices he will And a number of enemies who propose to have a hand in the matter. The Ohio Supreme court holds that honorably discharged soldiers are not entitled to special consideration at the hands of the State, and that the law giving them preference in the matter of political appointments is unconstitutional.

The first assistant postmaster general believes experiments which have been made with the rural delivery of mail have shown it to be a good thing, and he invites discussions from the people in regard to the advisability of extending it. L. P. Thayer, the veteran newspaper dealer of the State, is reported to have purchased the Newport Express and Standard. This is one of the few semiweekly papers of the State, with a considerable field for expansion, and there is no doubt that Thayer will make things lively in the upper end of the State while he retains possession.

There has been a little activity in the way of liquor prosecutions in Windsor county of late which makes people think of the strict and rigid enforcement of the law which was promised a few months ago. The rigid enforcement died a-borning, and nothing has been heard of it except a sporadic attempt at making a little capital out of a few liquor raids. Canada and the United States are till squabbling over the seal question and trying to arrive at an agreement which will be satisfactory to both countries. The best way to settle this trouble is to permit unrestricted sealing and kill off all the seals at once. That would put an end to all disputes by removing the bone of contention.

Seals and sealskins are not necessary to existence. They are merely articles of luxury. Something else can take their place without any great disturbance. As far as the people who make their living out of killing seals are concerned, they can probably find some other way of sustaining themselves. Their numbers are not large enough so that it need be difficult to find employment for them in some other lines of industry.

Since he came home home from Europe Senator Wolcott has learned, so it is said, that President McKinley is responsible for the failure of the bimetallie commission to accomplish anything in the way of getting concessions from England. The story goes that England was ready to open the mints of India to free coinage again, and that the bank of England would have kept a portion of its reserves in silver, but McKinley, alarmed at the prospect, quletly let it be known through the minister to England that we did not care to do anything more than make a bluff over the question of bimetalism, and that England withdrew her concessions before they had been formally granted. What will Wolcott do if he believes this story? He stuck by his party when it deserted the cause of free silver, because he thought it would bring about international bimetalism, but now that McKinley has turned his back on that, what is left for Wolcott and the silver Republicans? It is reported that Speaker Reed intends to retire from Congress at the close of its present term, move from Maine to New York, and take up the practice of law there. Mr. Reed has become connected with the interests of insurance companies by accepting a position as arbitrator, and it is said that he has reocived a liberal offer to become counsel for a large life insurance company.

Reed has talked of retiring from Congress before this, but his friends have induced him to remain. He has accumulated little wealth in the years of his public service, and has reached an age when he desires to make more money than he receives for his services in Congress. It is also said that his removal to New York will be made for the purpose of securing the Republican nomination for President in 1900. This is not improbable. Reed has long felt that he was of presidential size, and has been seriously considered once or twice in nection with the nomination.

His chances of securing the nomination would be much better if he lived in New York than in Maine. Some of the customs officers at New York gave evidence last week of perspicacity in excluding from this country four Turkish immigrants on the ground that they were polygamists. Some of these Turks were not of marrying age and none of them had more than one wife. Bat they professed belief in the Koran, which sanctions polygamy, and the law says that polygamists shall not be allowed to enter this country with the intention of remaining. The position of the officers is that a man who believes in polygamy 18 a polygamist, even if he has no wife at all, and the Turks must be governed by this opinion unless the treasury department at Washington shall decide otherwise.

The contention of the officers is so absurd that it ought to be reversed. The laws of the country forbid bigamy, but a man could not be convicted of bigamy because he had one wife and wanted another. The law provides a punishment for murder, but a man cannot be convicted of that crime until the murder has been committed. Intent is in some cases an important element, but the intent is only proved to explain the nature of the crime. It is the intent, taken with the crime, which is considered, not the intent before any illegal act has been committed.

To be sure, we have scriptural authority for saying that "as a man thinketh in his heart so is he," but this we believe has never had any standing in a court of law. The secretary of the treasury has issued a circular warning clerks in his department receiving a stated salary that their failure to pay bills contracted for the necessary support of themselves and their families, without any sufficient excuse, will be considered cause for dis. missal. There is frequent trouble over lending and borrowing money on the part of department clerks. The salary seems large to many of them when they first assume their positions, they spend freely and before they realize it money involved in debt.

Then the they are money lender is called upon. Sometimes he is a clerk in the same department, though the authorities disapprove of clerks lending money to each other. Sometimes the money lender is a regular representative of his calling. Whoever he may be, the interest he charges is excessive, aud the clerk who was unable to his original debt finds himself less pay able to pay the new debt and interest. So he neglects the butcher and baker until their bills mount up to larger sums than they like.

Failing to secure payment from the debtor, and unwilling to accept promises in lieu of cash, they appeal to the department, and trouble at once results for the unlucky clerk. Some creditors have even gone 20 far as to demand that the department retain a portion of the delinquent clerk's salary until the amount of their bill is paid, but the government has always refused to act in the capacity of collector for private individuals under such circ*mstances. The most it will do is to dismiss the clerk who refuses to pay his bills. Death due directly to the operation of the prohibitory law is the story that comes from Barton. Eugene Jenkins worked hard one day helping to save a neighbor's goods from a burning house, and was overcome with fatigue and suffered a chill from the wet and exposure.

He sent a friend to a drug store for some liquor. The clerk would not sell the liquor, and informed the friend that he could not sell alcohol without adding something to it. He accordingly added some aconite to a pint of alcohol and passed it over the counter. Jenkins poured out a small quantity of alcohol, diluted it with water and drank it. He soon began to feel a singular sensation, and going to the drug store inquired what had been put in the alcohol.

When it was discovered that he had taken poison two doctors were summoned and did everything possible for his relief, but their efforts were of no avail and Jenkins died. If it had not been for the fool prohibition with which Vermont is afflicted he might have bought a little liquor of a decent sort, which would certainly not have contained so deadly a poison as aconite, and he would doubtless be alive to-day. Under the farce of prohibition the druggist would not sell the alcohol which his customer wanted in its original state, lest he be complained of by Brother Blake, of the righteous Monitor, so he whipped the devil around the stump by adding to the alcohol a deadly poison. The man died. His death is little short of murder.

The Henry George memorial fund committee is meeting with good success. It has positive assurance of $50,000 in donations, and hopes to receive a much larger amount. The proposition to raise funds for a memorial to Henry George is one that appeals to all classes of people, in all parts of the country. It matters not whether or not the people appealed to believe as Henry George did. They know that he was an honest man, earnestly striving to right some of the wrongs he and others plainly perceived, and that he had the intellectual ability to force to a prominent place in public attention the plan he had devised for lessening economic evils.

The membership of the committee shows how men of widely differing political ideas honored the man and respected his opinions. Another thing that appeals to people in general is that George in reality gave his life for the cause for which he was at work. Other men have died in the stress of political struggle, though not often, but George knew that the struggle was almost certain to kill him. His physician had told him that for him actively to engage in the New York municipal campaign would kill him. His friends told him the same thing.

"But I have got to die," he said, "and how can I die better than serving humanity So he took up the work, assuring those who placed him in nomination that he was with them until election, "even if it kills me." The age of chivalry is gone, but the spirit of chivalrous devotion is not dead nor are men calloused to an appreciation of it. The nobility of sacrifice still inspires us, and men who had little faith in Henry George, the persistent and ardent advocate of the single tax, feel a stir and thrill of admiration for Henry George, the martyr in the cause of humanity. The New York society, Sons of the Revolution, refuses to adopt the constitution for union with the Sons of the American Revolution, adopted at the meeting of delegates in Cincinnati by representatives of State societies. This is the national association which the Vermont society, Sons of the American Revolution, at its recent meeting voted to unite with. The objections to the union were stated by Charles T.

Lewis, who made the report for the delegates to the Cincinnati meetlag. He believed that union with the national society was desirable, but that it should not be through the adoption of the constitution adopted at Cincinnati and referred back to the State societies for adoption. He thought that it was highly desirable that in such a union the name of the society should be preserved, that proof of lineal descent should be beyond question and that a revision of the rolls should be made. Under the proposed constitution no quarantee of lineal descent was required. the conditions of membership being that those now on the rolls of the Sons of the Revolution and the Sons of the American Revolution should become members of the new society, and that no revision of the rolls was made before the adoption of the Cincinnati constitution.

Pennsylvania, he said, had voted against adopting the constitution, and only those States with a very small membership had adopted it. For the New York 80- ciety to enter the union meant the loss of its name, its insignia, its prestige and all the attributes which had been dear to its history and development. A member of the Pennsylvania society was present and stated the reasons why the society of that State refused to enter the proposed union. His reasons were similar to those of the New York delegate. Mr.

Lewis offered a resolution expressing a desire for union but refusing to adopt the present plan. A substitute resolution, providing for the appointment of a committee to consider the matter and report in three weeks was lost and the original resolution prevailed. So the New York society will not join the national society. And still the deficiency in the United States treasury grows. When four months of the present fiscal year had passed the deficit amounted to 000,000.

It has kept on growing in November, and there is no prospect that it will stop growing. Mr. Dingley says that the advance importations made before the law was passed must be held accountable for some of the deficiency, but that excuse will fail after a while. The deficit keeps on growing. Nothing could more completely demonstrate the incapacity of the Republican party than this.

When the Wilson bill was passed there was attached to it a provision for an income tax, and careful estimates indicated that the law would produce enough revenue to run the government and possibly furnish a slight surplus. The income law was declared unconstitutional. This cut off a large source of revenue, and the Wilson law failed to produce what was needed to pay the government expenses, though the deficiency never amounted to what was lost through the failure of the income tax law. The Republican party has this experience to guide them. They went through the campaign last year howling about the deficiency of the revenues, and said that all trouble over gold exports would be settled as soon as there was sufficient revenue in the treasury, that the silver question would be dead 88 a door nail and that prosperity would return as soon as there wAS money enough taken into the treasury to pay the bills of the government, and that none of these things could happen until there was a sufficient revenue.

They set forth as their prime reason for revising the tariff at all that the country needed and must have no more revenue. Assuming that they were honest in their statements, that they really believed that the country needed more revenue and that they really intended to provide it, they have demonstrated their inability to regulate the revenues of the country from a protectionist standpoint. They have shown conclusively that the party of protection cannot be trusted to handle the fiscal affairs of the government. The reason for this is plain. Protection and revenue are not consistent with each other.

The protection policy is to keep foreign goods out of this country, while for purposes of revenue it is necessary that foreign goods shall be imported. The Republican administration has failed to carry out its promises and has failed because it was unable to carry them out. The Republican majority in Congress will be carried out by the people in the elections next year. The American Protective asseciation has closed its headquarters at Washington, D. and the managers of the concern have withdrawn into the obscurity from which they temporarily arose.

The decayed order has furnished means of support for some "escaped puns" and alleged ex-priests, it has stirred up in many communities 8 feeling of bitterness and hatred among neighbors and friends, it has abused and denounced a large part of the citizens the United States for the religious lief they hold, it has slandered, malice ed and persecuted, it has done whit could to destroy respect for religlouspe liefs and tolerance for religious opine in a land where every man has the to believe and praetice the kind ligion which suits him without permission from any authority or inc ring any penalties for 80 doing. doubt not that the original founders the order may have believed themselves in the right. We will assume that tho who joined it thought they were doinga service to republican institutions ando the Protestant religion. We hope the credit of American institutions such was the fact. But however intentioned may have been the beg Dings of the order, it was based 01a misconception of the spirit of Amerien institutions and ignorance of the spirit of the Protestant religion.

try, intolerance and persecution were leading tenets of the order when it once organized. Whatever could be to stir up feeling against Cathol zens was done and whenever it was sible to injure a Catholie, by depriving him of employment or patronage, he members of the order were boundby their oath to do it. The plausible arguments advanced by the members led many into it who soon discovered their mistake and refused to longer aflinte with such a conspiracy. Those who did remain faithful were duped deceived. The organization went into politics, of course.

It would have been expensed that an order formed along such righteous lines would have gone into polines merely to carry out its own purpoges, and to prevent the spread of the power of the Pope of Rome, which the -so greatly feared. But it appears that went into politics like the veriest rowder, for what there was in it. The fupreme president of the order says "a large number of the members ex peted offices from McKinley and them," and this, we suppose, is one reason why the order is going to pisses. Another reason for its collapse, as stied by the president is that "At leastone third of the members are trying to rake a living out of it." So, as the order des tO pieces, we learn that it was no so high minded an organization as its m- bers told us it was, that it was not sept alive to lessen the power of the lope and to restrain the encroachments the Catholic church, but that it was we had had always supposed, may for the support and in the interest Or few who made their living from it, andthat their denunciations of the Pope aut the Catholic church were only cloak for their own personal ends. It is believed that the McKnley administration is rather getting the better of Spain in the Cuban matter.

The President desires peace, but he realizes that there is a strong sentiment threughout the country and in his own paky in favor of action by the United States to prevent a continuance of the barbarities which have disgraced the struggle in Cuba. He communicated to the Spanish minister, through Secretary Sherman, his desire to touch mildly on Cuban affairs in his message, but intimated that if he was to do so there must be a reversal of the Spanish policy in Cuba. Recent events show that this advice has been needed to a certain exteut. One matter on which the President laid particular stress was that the polity of massing the inhabitants in the towns must be abandoned. De Lome.

the Spanish minister, promised that this and other matters should be atiended to, but has found that he has bitten off more than he can chew. The Spanish authorities especially resent the advice that the pacificos be sent to their homes. Marshal Blanco, the net captain general of the island. says that such a thing is impossible. He declares that the country is so overgrown with vegetation that to send them home a more inhuman policy Gifted them in the towns, as is now being done.

They have no money or provisions, their homes have been burned and even the foundation stones have been used by Weyler in the building of his trochas and forts. The captain general further says that he has no money to provide them with trans portation to their homes and that they be much better off in the large towns than to be sent away. This policy of confining the unoffending people of thee country districts in the towns, where they have no means of earning a subsistence, and where they are being subjected to slow starvation, has been one of the important things in keeping alive in this country a feeling of resentment against the policy of Spain. If what Blanco says is true, it may be a strong reason for the United States seeking to put an end to the war. It 19 clear that the Spanish government is responsible for the condition of these people, and cannot or will not do anything for their relief.

If the Spanish governments would take care of these people and sere that they are restored to their homes and relieved from the danger of starvation, it would have much more effect with the administration at Washington than the announcement of a policy of horne rule for Cuba, which the Cubans will not accept and which can have no effect in putting an end to the war. If Spain does not take some action in this direction the message of the President with relation to Cuba will not be so as he would desire or as Spain hopes it will be. The President is not willing to precipitate a conflict with his party or with Congress. The experiences of the last session show how strong a feeling there 18 on this matter, and if Spain does not make the changes in her police which McKinley thinks are desirable, he trill not take the pacific stand which he prefers to take. He knows the feeling of the people of the United States and he will not take a stand in opposition to it.

He had hoped that the action of Spain world simplify matters, but it has not Remonstrances are continually being received at' Washington which indicate the desperate condition of affairs in Cuba. The reports of our consuls on the island are all to the effect that the struggles of Spain to retain possession of the island are hopeless. American residents there also complain that although Spain is bound by the terms of the postal treaty private letters are opened in the mail by Spanish officials and that some communications are not delivered at all, the Spanish government exercising an authority in such matters as absolute as that of Russia. The which Spain has made thus far are moreformal than effective. If the President is to send a conservative message to Congress something must be done quickly which will give a reasonable indication that the Spanish government intends to pay heed to the wishes of the people of the United States.

Senor De Lome is doing everything possible to make his home ment realize the situation, and hopes that Premier Sagasta will make the promises he thinks uecessary even though he should be unable to fulfil single one of them. Such 8 course might lead President McKinley to write his message on pacific lines, but the failure of Spain to carry out her promises would make it impossible to restrain the action of Congress by an overwhelming majority. The new cold storage plant which has been built at the State insane asylum at Waterbury, at a cost of about 84,000, was in given its first test Wednesday afternoon the presence of George W. Wing, of this city, one of the trustees, and found to work in a very satisfactory mauper. A great deal of satisfaction is felt at the asylum over the building with of the cold storage, as it does away and the maxes great the clumsy ice refrigerators house up to date.

The asylum isalready equipped with a steam various plant, which furnishes power to parts of the building, so that the expense to of turning the cold storage amounts very little. The ammonia process, similar that in all freezing machines, is the one used. The temperature is so regulated that It can be kept at any degree desired MISS BREWSTER ARRAIGNED. (Continued from fourth page.) Mildred Brewster will be taken into county court to-morrow at the opening of the morning session, and will be allowed to retract her plea of not guilty, which is necessary before her counsel can formally file with the court their plea in abatement. Miss Brewster was to have been brought into court to-day.

The defense was ready for her to appear, but State's Attorney Fred A. Howland was busy in another matter, and requested the defense to allow her to be brought in tomorrow morning instead. It is expected Miss Brewster will appear at the court house about 9 o'clock so that the court can take up that question before any other case is begun. Her stay in court will be brief, as the proceedings are not expected to take over a very few minutes. Miss Brewster pleaded not guilty to the indictment last Friday, sO that in order to have the validity of the indietment decided it was necessary that she withdraw her plea.

One of the Burlington witnesses in the case, Minnie Meehan, who is liable to be out of the State when the case comes up again for trial, was notified by the court that she would be released on her own recognizance to appear when wanted. A report gained considerable circulation vesterday afternoon that Jack Wheeler had been placed under $5,000 bonds for his appearance, but this was found on investigation to be a canard. A number of Burlington young men were in the city yesterday for the trial. as witnesses in the case, and were allowed to go back after the agreement. Some of Miss Brewster's friends were allowed to visit her in the afternoon at the jail.

She put about the usual amount of cordiality into greeting them that she has exhibited all along. News and Comments. It must have required a fervent faith for those eight Adventists to submit to baptism in the icy waters of the river at Richford last Sunday. but it is rather much of a sacrifice for an aged minister to risk his life through the exposure incident to performing the rite. Mr.

and Mrs. Richard Hoag and daughter, of Orange, N. sail this week in the brigantine Harriet for the Klondike gold fields. They are not going to dig for gold, however, as 10 that country there is a more rapid war of acquiring wealth and Mr. Hoag is apparently shrewd.

He is going to open a general supply store. The supreme court of Wyoming appears to be endowed with common sense. The consitution of the State requires that no foreign born citizen shall vote there uuless able to read the constitution. In a contested election case it was held that certain Finns were legal voters as they could read the constitution of Wyoming in their own language, but the court bolds that they must be able to read it in English to be entitled to vote. The report that a new arbitration treaty was being formulated, which would meet the objections raised in the Senate to the treaty rejected last spring.

have little foundation. It is stated in Washington that no negotiations have taken place between Secretary Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote concerning the matter, that there has been no exchange of notes between Secretary Sherman and Lord Salisbury and that Sir Julian Pauncefote has not spoken of the matter since he returned to Washington. The Spanish campaign in Cuba must be near the verge of collapse when insurgent spies are released and sent to the Cuban camp to urge an acceptance of the terms offered by Spain, and when Spanish gold is given the traitor to accomplish the ends of Spain. The Cubans have threatened to shoot any representative of Spain who wanted to treat with them for peace, and have announced that under such circ*mstances they would not regard a flag of truce. It will occasion no surprise if the news comes that the spy has been shot.

John W. Foster, the American diplomat, has another opportunity to display his abilities in the line of healing international troubles. The sealing conference at Washington, between representatives in this country and Canada, has just ended without any definite agreement having been reached. The Canadians will not agree to stop killing seals in the open sea unless they are granted certain privileges which they desire. So Gen.

Foster has been authorized to draw up a treaty which it is hoped will satisfactorily cover the points at issue. This will be a small job for the man who setarled the differences between China and Japabi Lieut. Dodge, the officer who was ordered to take command of the expedition for the relief of the imprisoned whalers at Point Barrow, has been relieved of his command on the strength of a statement of his physician as to his physical condition. Dodge is greatly disappointed thereat and a little family trouble has been caused thereby. It appears that his wife was afraid to have him go away off north in the dead of winter, so she hustled around and got the physician to assert that he was not in condition to go.

Dodge was anxious to have the credit of leading such an expedition, and his remarks on the subject are said to have been unfit for publication. Chicago has had varlous kinds of robberies in the past tew years, but a man now operating in the city appears to be ahead of anything previously reported in that line. He has the evil eye, the men whom he has robbed declare. One saloon keeper says that the robber ordered all the wen in the place to hold up their hands, which they did, though he was unarmed. "Then," says the saloon keeper, "he looked at me real hard, and I invited him behind the bar to help himself to the contents of the cash drawer." Now what kind of a show can the police of Chicago or any other city have against such a professor of the black art? Kentucky comes to the front with a woman of political ambitions.

She is Mrs. Josephine K. Henry, of Versailles. Mrs. Henry is being boome I for a nomination by the Prohibitionists in 1900.

She does not feel certain of election if nominated, but she wants the nomination. She is a leader of the woman suffrage movement in Kentucky, and has done some effective work on the Contrary to the usual idea of stump. the advanced woman with political ideas, Mrs. Henry is said to be thoroughly domestic and a model housekeeper. She is an agnostic in religious matters and if elected President would endeavor to have Thanksgiving day abolished.

She would also have the liquor traffic abolished and some minor affairs properly regulated. Anna Sargent Turner, secretary of the New York State Anti-Vivisection society, has written several letters to the New York Times, protesting against the practice of vivisection, but these have been refused publication. The Times recently stated several things which Miss (or Mrs. Turner must observe before one of her letters could appear in its colutnns. One of these was that it must be written 10 a decent temper.

She has learned to comply with the requirements and a letter from her on the subject of vivisection has appeared in the Times, accompanied by an affidavit in which Miss (or Mrs.) Turner makes oath that the letter is written in a decent temper. Is this a triumph for the Times or for Miss (or Mrs.) Turner, or both? The Kansas farmers, who have been getting out of debt through the practice of close economy and by the high price of their grain, caused by the famine abroad. will observe Thanksgiving in a practical way. The people in the counties where jack rabbits are plentiful are to devote one day to a rabbit hunt and send the rabbits they kill to the poor of the eastern cities. Jack rabbits are a pest in some counties of the State and a bounty is paid for killing them.

so the Kansasites are giving evidence of a little New England thrift in their charity. They will benefit by killing the rabbite, while the poor will gain from eating them. Jack rabbits are said to be good eating, and the fact that they are slaughtered as a pestiferous nuisauce will not interfere with the enjoyment of eating a Thanksgiving pie made of their juicy carcasses. There are two Chinamen on an American vessel in New York harbor who find themselves in a peculiar plight because of the immigration laws of this country. They shipped at Shanghai as cook and steward of the vessel.

and sailed to New York. Now their term of service has expired and their pay awaits them at the office of the shipping commissioner, but they are not allowed to go ashore to get it. Their voyage being ended they can no longer look to the owners of the vessel for payment or food. Two inspectors of immigration are in charge of them, and as there is no legal provision for feeding the Chinamen they have purchased food for them. The Chinamen have no desire to remain in this country and want to get home, but they cannot land to get their money and will not be allowed to go away.

Probably the treasury department will find some means to relieve them from imprisoument and the prospect of starvation. The ease with which a serious scandal may be set on foot was illustrated in Nunda, N. last week. The church" at that place has been closed for some time awaiting an investigation of charges against the pastor. A little girl went home from school one day last summer and said, "Teacher SayS Mr.

Plumley is a blackleg." Mr. Plumlev is the pastor of the "South church" in Nunda and this report caused a great deal of excitement. The deacons called a special meeting and asked Mr. Plumley to explain the report. He was unable to do so and the house of worship was closed, pending a satisfactory explanation of the affair.

Mr. Plumley started a vigorous search to find the author of the report. He finally traced it to the little girl. He took her with him to the house of the teacher for an explanation, the teacher having up to that time been ignorant of the cause of the trouble. She denied having made such a statement, but when the pupil recalled the circ*mstances under which was said she admitted that she had told the class that Plumbago was black lead." This was understood by some of the smaller pupils to be that Mr.

Plumley was a blackleg." and the scandal all started from a misunderstanding. There may be numerous morals to be drawn from the story. Mrs. Marilla M. Ricker, of Dover, N.

is a candidate for a Congressional nomination in the first distriet, to succeed the red headed "Cy." Sulloway, who now holds that important place. Mrs. Ricker was a candidate for a foreign mission at the hands of the President, but though she had numerous recommendations she failed to secure the coveted place. She is a unique character, with a great deal of ability, but completely wrapped up in the idea of woman suffrage. She claims to be the original woman suffragist and the first woman in the country who ever tried to vote.

This attempt she says she made 27 years ago, so it is plain that Marilla is not sensitive on the subject of her age. She "points with pride" to the privileges accorded women in several of the western States since she commenced her struggle for the right of voting and has faith in the ultimate recognition' of women as entitled to equal rights with men in the management of the government. Mrs. Ricker has been a supporter of the Republican party since she was 16 years old, and her work on the stump has been highly recommended. Her legal attainments are generally recognized and she has been admitted to practice before the United States courts of the district of Columbia.

In spite of her attainments, and the eminent services she has rendered the party, it is safe to say that she will be no more successful in being elected to Congress than she was in securing a diplomatic appointment at the hands of President McKinley. There is an excitement about runping a newspaper in some parts of the south which lends a liveliness to the occupation and prevents it from becoming too altogether monotonous. Down in Mississippi the other day a zealous Baptist stabbed the editor of the Ashland Register, whose offence to Che brother's religious sentiments consisted in printing a short advance notice of a lecture by an expounder of the belief in immersion. It appears that the editor of the Register had a leaning toward Methodism, as his assailant told him before the stabbing that if the lecture had been a Methodist affair the Register would have had a flattering notice of it. This relieves the situation to some extent.

It shows that the editor was not killed for giving publicity to a lecture on immersion, but because the notice was not long enough. It was not exactly a killing for religious belief, but over a question of newspaper space. It is not uncommon for a man to believe himself more able than an editor of running a newspaper, but in this part of the country the belief is not usually emphasized quite so forcibly, and the editor is not in danger of being removed from the scene of operations by a bit of steel between the ribs, that some one else may run the paper in a more satisfactory manner. A case somewhat similar to this in sippi was recently reported from Waco, where the editor of the Iconoclast was dragged to the Baptist college campus with a rope about his neck by a party of college students, and made to promise certain things in regard to his crittcism of the college. After that an attempt was made to murder him, but the attempt failed.

The editor is still on deck, and gives evidence of it in the following vigorous language: 'The same old God-toreaken gang of moral perverts and intellectual misfits who more than two years ago brought a Canadian cour-, tesan and an unfrocked priest to Waco to lecture on A. P. and who threatened at one of these buzzard-feasts to mob me for calling the latter a cowardly liar, were responsible for my being dragged with a rope by several hundred hoodlums up and down a Baptist college campus in this city October 2, and for the brutal assault upon me five days later by a pack of would-be assassins, who waited until my back was unsuspectingly turned before they had the nerve to get out their guns. I can overlook the assault made by the college students, although most of them were grown men, because they were encouraged thereto by their elders. I bave positively refused to prosecute them; but the last assault was led by 8 shyster lawyer of middle age, a 80 called judge, ber of the Board of Managers of Baylor.

I am seeking no trouble with any of them-they are pertectly safe as far as I am concerned; still, if the latter gang are not satisfied with their cowardly crime, if they regret that they were beaten off ere they had quite succeeded in sending me to Kingdom Come, they have only to notify me where and when they may be found alone, and I'll give the whole accursed mob a show for its money. I'm too slight for a slugger-cannot lick a herd of steers with one pair of bands; but I can make a shotgun sing. Iam credibly informed that "at least half a dozen" of my meek and lowly Baptist brethren are but awaiting an opportunity to assassinate me, and that it suc. cessful they will plead in extenuation that I "have slandered Southern women." I walk the streets of Waco day by day, and I walk them alone. Let these cur ristians shoot me in the back if they dare, then plead that damning lie as an excuse for their craven cowardice.

If the decent people of this community fail to chase them to their holes and feed their viscera to the dogs, then I'd rather be dead and in hades forever than alive 10 Waco a single day. It is funny that the Baptists should be at the bottom of such disturbances as these. They would seem to be due to beverages regarded as quite distinctly southren rather than to a sect which makes such liberal use of water. CHELSEA CHIPS.A. Corwin went to Boston last week E.
