One day, strolling in the street, /

A Privilege of old Age.

A wise old man, the late DIR. James
Walker, president of Harvard Univer-

sponsibiities." These hard-work inc
veterans will not let one get rid of
them until he drops in his harness. and
so gets rid of them and his life together
How often has many a tired old man

MILITARY, NAVAL AND G. A. R.

The secretary of the Navy has ordered that
the new coast defense vessel now building in
San Francisco shall be called the Monterey,
that name being chosen because Monterey
was the point where the United States flag
was first raised in California.
Navy bills are already plenty In Congress,
and the first one, which has been introduced
in the Senate by Mr.. Hale of Maine, provides
for the construction of no less than IS new
ships. In accordance with the ideas laid
down in the report of the Secretary of the
Navy, no more cruisers are included in the
number, which is made up of eight heavy
armored ships of from 1900 to 10 900 tons dis
placement, two armored ships for coast de-
Tense, three gunboats of from 800 to 1900
tons displacement, and five torpedo-boats of
the first or sea-going class. How far this
programme will be approved by Congress
remains TO be seen.

INDIANS ON THE WAR PATH.
They Prevent Work on a Railroad I'm New
Mexico

The Pueblo Indians of five villages In the
northern part Of New Mexics are up in
arms, and work on the big ditch being con-
structed by the Rio Grande Irrigation e.
Colonization Company has been suspended,
owing to their warlke demonstrations. Sat-
urday sixty Indians appeared at the camp
with their war paint on. They were on
horseback and rode four abreast, all heavily
armed. The commanding warrior ordered
Engineer Wiggin to leave with his outfit i'm
mediately. They said the schemes of the
white men were of no use to the Indian, and
they wanted work stopped at once. The
engineer pleaded with them. but they were
stubborn and turned a deaf ear to all his
entreaties. Seeing that 1t was useless to
argue longer, and fearing b6oodshed, the
engineer suspended work and then came to
the city and has telegraphed the situation to
Governor Prince at Santa Fc. Besides the
warriors on horseback, the hills were alive
with Indians on foot with their rifles and
ready for any emergency. The affair Is seri-
ousiy to be regretted, for the company has
already expended n large amount of money.

DO you ask, "Where can do this and
have my money absolutely safe Z" Let
us give YOU some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. OF
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles -
LIST. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as home institution.
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties, and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of, the-state security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per apnum more
interest by mourning a little addition
al risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a "long-felt
want" in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the great
safety of the savings of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depositing public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for a strictly home in
uestment Savings Bank. That such a
demand exists, and that the people are
ready to bestow their confidence and
encouragement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
aggregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in cess
of $l000-were at the end of the first six
months of its business, $57, 1890, a
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. II would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositor. 1t must then
be evident that per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank can sAFELYPAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi annually if not
withdrawn.

A REIGN OF TERROR.

Numerous Accidents From Electric Wires
In st. Louis Make People Scamper.
There has been sort of reign of terror
on the streets of st. Louis, caused by
broken electric W Tres. The storm of snow
and sleet covered telegraph, telephone and
and electric wires with ice. Now and
then wire, sagging beneath its heavy
weight, would touch another wire. The blue
sparks would fly for moment and a SILVER
ing blue flame succeed, until the fusing of the
wires caused them to part and fall cracking
to the sidewalk. Then the people near by
would scatter, falling over each other ia
their anxiety to reach place of safety. The
accidents from electric wires have been so
numerous that hardly one man in thousand
will go near fallen wire. Even the dogs
ran bowling from the scene. Two street car
horses were killed and their heads nearly
burned off by an electric wire. The wire W as
stretched across the neeks of the horses, and
they dropped to the street dead. There were
fifteen passengers on the car, and they
scrambled out In every direction, some trying
to get out of the windows.
