Mr.. BarnhOuse's Emporium.

There is probably not another man in the
limits of Iron county in the same line of bus
iness who has during the past decade attain
ed the signal success and business prosperity
enjoyed by the gentleman whose name heads
these lines. Commencing in business some
seven years age with small stock of goods,
his increasing trade has from time to time
compelled him to enlarge his stock and
building until now, when he can boast of
one of the most complete assortments of
goods and spacious store rooms to be found
in the county. When we say complete as
sortment we mean exactly what we write.
No one who has never been shown through
Mr.. BPS store can have an idea of the i'm
mensity of his stock. Starting in the grocery
department is found everything embraced
IN that line from the most solid of staple to
the finest of the fancy. To convey an i'm
preston of how complete Is the assortment
we will particuIarize on one or two articles.
OF coffees Mr.. B. carries ten different grades )
of sugar five or more; OF syrups a dozen,
and everything else in the same abundanc e
Of variety. In the Musical and Jewelry Line
will be found an elegant selection at aston
ishly low prices. EVERYTHING from a solid
gold watch down to cuff button, or from
cheap harmonica up to finely iniaid violin.
Then in the way of notions, such as ladies'
hand bags, pocket books, toilet articles, sta
tionery, etc.. ETC., he has an unlimited sup
ply and variety. AS to Confectionery, Trop-
ical Fruits and the like, Mr.. BIS stock is a
model and the envy of all competitors. In
fact to attempt to portray correct idea of
the magnitude of this establishment would
take page and then the reader would doubt
the statements. So go and see for yourself.
Mr. B. and his assistants will be happy to
see you and take pleasure in attending to
your wants.

Death of Mrs. II. J. Cree.

Mrs. T. !. Cree died on Sunday in
her Seth year. On the night of July
1 she received a shock of paralysis
from which she never recovered. She
was the wife of the late Judge Cree,
and was a most estimable lady
They were married So years ago, and
she came to Wheelock then and has
lived in the same house ever since
Her husband died nine years ago.
Mrs. Cree was a devoted Congrega-
t1Onal1St, but as there was no church
of that denomination here she enter
ed heartily into the work of the Bap-
t1st church. The funeral was held on
Tuesday, and the sermon preached
by Rev. NJ c. Henderson of st. Johns
bury. He took his text from Psalms
116:15, and his theme was Gods
special regard for his people. Their
death is precious in his sight. Revs.
]. c. Nelson and r. Chrystie assisted
in the funeral service.
In last Sundays storm the wind
blew the roof from Charles Rogers

HOW TO GET YOUR PORTRAIT.

Two or three hundred "confden-
tial'' circulars have been received at
the st. Johnsbury post office, from
Chicago "artists," addressed to men
and women, living and dead, in
which those addressed are advised
that by sending a good photograph
of himself or herself the aforesaid
artists will make a beautiful crayon
portrait free, such as other artists
charge $50 for; the only condition
being that the person receiving this
portrait shall have it suitably framed
and hung so as to advertise the
house which bestOws this beautiful
gift This is a remarkable offer-a
thirty dollar picture for nothing, and
from entire strangers, too. If all of
the two hundred respond, this mis-
sionary firm in Chicago will donate
to this town alone not less than So
900 worth of real art. Talk about
the ''Angelus;" there is no need of
paying such high prices for pictures
so long as this benevolent Chicago
firm exists.
But how does this scheme work !?
Those who have caught on to the
''snap" say that on receipt of the
photograph asked for this firm i'm
mediately acknowledges its receipt,
praising the picture and assuring the
personit represents that it will make
a fine crayOn portrait, a real gem
an ornament to the walls of any par
lor. They then refer to their former
letter and its sole condition, that the
then in order to save the person adj
| dressed trouble and expense, they in
cidentally remark that they make
framing of portraits a speciality and
| then give price list of frames rang
ing in price from SO to $50. OF
course the person who is to have a
present of $50 portrait will not
be so small as to deny his benefac-
| tors $50 for frame for it, and so he
sends on the stamps. Or, if he does
not. he never looks on his beautiful
! face as embellished by these Chicago
| swindlerS.

THE ITALIANS ON THE MAINE CEN
TRIAL RAILROAD

Mr.. Editor: In your issue of July
25 l notice you inform the PUBLIC
that the Italians attended Barnum S
show 1000 strong. Now to state
the facts, there are only 225 Italians
employed in the extension of the
Maine Central between Whitefeld
and SCOTS and how could 1000 at
tend when only about 13O of that
number loafed on the afternoon of
July 20, the day Barnum's great
show was here?
To speak honestly about the great
show" one can say that it was be-
low the expectat tions of the many
as the street show, which is the best
part, was omitted; also that the
program was cut short.
The Italians who are here working
on the railroad are a peaceful and
quiet crowd and the people here have
no trouble with them any more than
they would with a crew of French
speak good English and can read and
write much better than the majority
of railroad laborers. They came to
this country because they can get
more than so cents a day for work
They live in camps and board them
selves. 1t is not an uncommon thing
to go by their camps and hear them
singing and playing on guitars and
accordions and dancing in their Ita1-
ian style. Their food consists chiefly
of macaroni, which they make them
| self, bologna, Italian cheese, toma-
toes and bread, with one onion and
bean or two thrown in. AS a class
| they are very polite and doff their
hat when they meet any of the bosses
on the street.
AS you have made the statement
in your last issue we think it only
just to finish up by printing the
above just to vindicate the "Itali-
ans" Hoping you will insert this
notice and give everybody a chance
to say a word, am,
| ONE WHO KNOWS.

A JACKSONVILLE HERO.

Carroll Sweeney greeted his old
friends in the telegraph office Friday,
Mr.. Sweeney has been up in Norris
vile at the old home and has now
gone to Punta Rassa, Fla, as tele-
graph operator. He was in Jackson
vile during the yellow fever and stuck
to his post while half of the force fled.
Finally the fever struck him, and, it
is understood, the telegraph compa-
ny paid all his bills and continued his
pay during a long illness. Once the
report came to Vermont that Swee-
ney was dead, but it was promptly
contradicted He has now regained
his health, and has recently returned
from a pleasure trip to Cuba. MIR.
Sweeney has worked as an operator
in several places along the line Of the
Lake road, and was once employed
in the st. Johnsbury office. For stick
ing to his post in Jacksonville during
the plague his name was placed on
the roll of honor

RECENT DEATHS. :


A simple and quiet life ended in this
village on Monday, July %, in the
death of William Emery. He was
born in London in 1928. When he
came to manhood he joined the
London fire brigade, and soon be-
methe captain of a company which
had fire escape apparatus for saw
ing life at fires. While in the dis
charge of duty at a fire in a public
house on the night of July 4, 1853, he
rescued two persons, one a woman,
from the roof. For this heroism the
"Royal society for the protection of
life" presented him with a testimo-
nial suitably engraved and inscribed
and signed by the officers of the soci-
ETY., with the sanction of "Her most
gracious Majesty, the Queen" This
testimonial, together with photo
graph of his fire apparatus, Mr.. En-
cry had framed and hanging in his
house, and took much satisfaction
these last years in showing his
friends. Although Mr.. Emery had
lived in this town many years, but
few knew his history, which goes to
show that all heroes do not have
their deeds blazoned abroad After
serving about a dozen years in the
London fire department he joined the
British army and was stationed at
Gibraltar during the Crimean war.
Getting tired of this life he purchased
his discharge and came to this coun-
try. For number of years, and un-
til taken i'll nearly year ago, he was
employed in the scale works His i'll
ness was long and painful, a compli-
cation of heart disease and dropsy.
Heleaves a widow whom he married
in London, and seven living children,
two having died of diphtheria few
years ago The eldest son, James, is
in California, Florence married
Charles F. Hoadley of this place and
now lives in Worcester, Mass, and
the younger children are at home.

come almost unknown, and it is the
prevailing opinion that the sparrow
eats the Larvae as they come from the
horses" The same year Prof. Fair
banks writes, "It is chiefly a seed
eater. l have watched it a great
deal without seeing it take insects.
The above testimony from this sec
tion is fair sample of what comes
from every part of the Union. The
Bulletin will be the means of enlight-
ening the people on this national
pest, and may lead to steps for its
determination. The last Legislature
protected our fish by the 'six-inch"
law. Will the next Legislature pro-
tect our songsters, and provide in
some way for the determination of
the English sparrow
