The Brattleboros won Friday from the
l.. J. Gums Of Millers Falls, the champions
Of Western Massachusetts, The game was
one Of the best of the season, and abound
ed in sharp plays. The Gums are an espec-
tally heavy hitting team and Woodcock's
feat Of holding them down 10 one scratch
hit has never been equalled. In the third
inning O'Rourke broke finger, and the
spectators were sure that the game was lost,
but Collopy proved equal to the emergency
by going behind the bat and finishing the
game in good style. The Bratteboros, with
the exception Of Dowd, who made two two
baggers, seldom solved Horrigans curves
for base hits, although they hit the ball
without difficulty The whole Brattleboro

A mis,nken Nave

1t is understood that Secretary Window
has ordered the removal of the steam plate
printing presses from the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing at Washington, where the
national bank notes are printed and will
have the hand presses put back. There
seems 10 be but one opinion about this ac-
ton among people of independent and in.
telligent convictions, and that is that it is a
serious mistake, The Free Press correctly
voices this sentiment when it says:
"lhe Knights of Labor have been for
years demanding the removal of the power
presses, for no reason except that they re-
quired fewer hands To run them. IL was
the old cry against machinery which has
been raised against power looms and all
kinds Of laboring saving machinery, But
the world has moved too far along Ia allow
this cry to prevail at this stage Of the nine

THE RECENT SUICIDE IN THE SOUTH

| THE RECENT SUICIDE IN THE SOUTH PART OF
THE TOWN
The following facts have been learned
about the suicide of a sixteen years old
glrl, which took place at T. f. Burdick's a
week ago last Tuesday, aud briefly men
TONED last week. 1t appears that the girl
ana tine young man accompanying her APP
peared at the Burdck farm, which is in a
retired place some distance from the high
way, week or ten days before the suicide
They had no baggage, nor any effects ex
cept the clothes they wore They claimed
TO be man and wife, said they wanted work.
ana were taken in, as help was needed dur
ing haying. The girl was handy about the
house, aud the man took hold we'll of the
out door work. They had no trouble
though 1t was evident after a few DAYS that
the girl was anxious lest the man should 90
away, get some liquor and desert her. This
was all that was noticed until the girl an
nounced on the Tuesday mentioned that she
had taken Paris green. She was so un-
moved ana matter of fact about il that her
statement was not believed until vomiting
began, and even then and throughout the
day she seemed cheerful and happy, telling
the Bernardston doctor when he arrived
that she took it because she had lived long
enough. Nothing could be done for her and
she died IN the evening. The young man
remained with her aud took care of her nm
III she died. Only an hour before, she told
hum that he might as well 90 to bed for sba
shouldn't die that night Preparations
were made for the funeral, but on the dav
set for 1t her brother in-law from Pownai
70 whom word had been sent, appeared and
decided TO take the body home with him
the young man going with him. The fol
lowing, clipped from the Rutland HeraId's
dispatches, probably throws some additional
light on the affair

There is no evidence that the two yyara
married, though there is report of their
marriage last fall, and the reason for the
glrls suicide is entirely matter of con
lecture.
1t is needless to say that the statement
printed last week that Justice Barney mar
rled them ON the Sunday before the suicide
was entirely without foundation. Mr. Rsr
ney never heard of the couple until after
the girls death, and would not in any case
elther marry or give a marriage certificate

Practical Chri.,inn Work .

The meeting of the National Christian
Endeavor convention in Philadelphia, says
the New York Tribune, calls general atten
ton to the remarkable growth of this and
similar movements in recent years The
Christian Endeavor societies, as their name
indicates, have for their object the promo
ton of Christian effort among members of
the various churches The Kings Daugh-
ters is another large and flourishng organi-
cation, the aim of which is to develop Il
Christian and helpful spirit among women.
Still another organization is the White
Cross society, which has for its object the
incubation of social purity. The import
ant fact to be noted in regard to all these
movements is, that they concern themselves
almost entirely with the building up of
Christian character. And while, of course,
they work in harmony with the organized
churches, it is not their aim to promote
ecclesiasticism as such in any form. Their
popularity and success show in very strik-
ing way how practical modern Christianity
is. So long as such organizations exist
there is little danger to be apprehended
from the growth of merely formal eccle-
siasticism.

Much unfavorable comment has been
caused by the action of Postmaster. General
Wanamaker in fixing the rate of payment
to the Western Union telegraph company
for government messages at only one mill
per word--a rate which, it is said, does not
pay the cost of the paper and envelope for
the average message. But Mr.. Wanamak.
err advances the counter claim that the
company has accepted similar rate from
various large corporations, and that it is
only just return for the very valuable
concession given the company in its fran
chise 1t is further said that the law Of
July p, 1866 known as the telegraph law,
which gives the postmaster general the alb
solute right to decide what compensation
should be paid to the telegraph companies
accepting the government concessions over
the land grant railroads, was the Western
Unions own statute it was industriously
lobbied for by the late president of that
company, William orion, and the company
knew perfectly what obligations its accept
ance imposed

"The club is also to be congratulated, for
it has secured the services of well equipped
