bennington is looking forward 10 a
| gigantic celebration next summer. The
act of the legislature providing for a
celebration of the hundredth anniversary
of the admission Of Vermont into the
Union, and for thu dedication Of the
Bennington battle monument, Aug. 10.
1891, makes the governor, with the lieu

state treasurer and secretary of state. q
committee of FIVE, who shall make the
necessary arrangements and have gen.
cral charge and management Of the cere-
monies attending the dedication of the
monument and the centennial celebra.
ton.
The committee shall invite in the
name of the state of Vermont the ma
hona government and the states Of
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, to
unite with Vermont in the dedication
and celebration. Furthermore. the COM
mittee shall issue in the name of the
state all invitations to invited guests.
and shall call the annual encampment
OF the National Guard of Vermont. It
Is discretionary with these officials what
amount of money to spend. The re-
sponsioility of the celebrations is on the
state and not the battle association nor
the people of Bennington.
The battle of Bennington was fought
Aug. 16, 1777, but as Aug. 16 next year
will fall ON Sunday it was deemed best
to have the celebrations in the middle
of the week for the convenience of
those who may come from a distance,
and for this reason Wednesday, Aug. 10,
was DESIGNATED by the legislature

a Proud and Happy Girl.
New York Letter.l


A customer walUlng Tor change at one
of the large dry goods shops on the day
before Thanksgiving exchanged few
words with the saleswoman who served
her upon the subject of the coming holi-
day. The girl had bright, attractive
face, and did not look to be over IS years
of age. Her eyes sparkled as she said
animatedly: "Well, I've got something
to be thankful for this year that haven't
had for four years. I've got a home
now. No, don't mean I'm married, -
she went on, answering the look in her
listeners face. "but I've got home
again. When my father died four years
ago my mother was sick, too, and was
in the hospital long time, and my lit
tie brothers and sisters were at the
home, and the protectory and anywhere,
while l just knocked around the best
could. But we're together now, the
children are going to school, and moth
er's able to be around, and I take care
of them all" she finished proudly.
If ever pride was justifable hers was.
Here was young woman hardly out of
girihood weighted with the support of a
family from which a man might well
shrink, yet evidently carrying her bur-
den successfully and contentedly. And
abe was able, too, in the midst of her
dark life to fash out a ray of the purest
Thanksgiving spirit

Startling scarf Pins.


a member of one of the uptown clubs
caused something of sensation in the
smoking room of his club few nights
ago. AS he joined group of gentlemen
it was noticed that he wore unique pin
in his scarf. 1t was large dogs head
made of oxidized silver. Its eyes were
tiny diamonds and its mouth was red
enamel. While the wearer's friends
were looking at the pin and commenting
upon it the red mouth of the silver dog
opened and succession of sharp banks
issued therefrom. The effect was start
ling at first, but as the barking contin-
ued several members of the club pressed
about the owner of the pin, curious to
examine ''the new trick"
The wearer of the decoration, after
enjoying the sensation that he had Gre
ated for while, unbuttoned his waist
coat and disclosed long rubber tube
attached to the pin on the under side of
the scarf. The tube extended down into
one of the pockets of the gentleman's
trousers, terminating in rubber bulb.
By repeatedly pinching this bulb the
wearer of the pin was able to cause the
sounds to issue from the dogs mouth.
These trick pins are among the novelties
on the counters of jewelry and haber-
dashery establishments. There are vari-
GUS designs, such as dogs heads, cats
heads, crying babies, bicycles with re-
volving wheels and bugles that blow.

Eugenie's Cousin Cassfuerta Dead
TLondon NeWs.1

Our Paris correspondent writes that a
cousin of the Empress Eugene, the Mar
quis de Casafuerta, has just died at the
Chateau d'Orfasnir, in Touraine. His
father, who was said to be only second
in wealth to the Duke of Ossuna, lived
for many years in what might be termed
domain, the wall of which skirted one
side of the Rue des Ecuries d'Artois, and
part of what in his time was the Rue
de fOratoire. During the empire Queen
Isabella, to be agreeable to the Empress
Eugene, arranged that the late marquis
was to be permanently attached to the
Spanish embassy in Paris, and he was
one Of the most influential persons be-
longing to the inner circle of the en-
press.
He was charged, though quite young
man, with the confidential negotiations
between the emperor and Marshal Mar
vaez for the sending of Spanish militia
ry force to Rome to replace that which
France kept at the Eternal City to pro-
tect the pope. But carefully as the Be-
cret of Queen Isabella's consent was
kept it leaked out, and Prince Bismarck
and Signor Rattazzi put their heads
together, and by getting her dethroned
defeated the scheme.

Had to Saw Her Out.
washington Post. I


Several hundred people crowded the
street in front Of Galt's jewelry store
Friday morning, attracted by the sorry
plight OF a comely young woman, who
sat on the hagstones right in front of
one of the big windows. One dainti1y
shod foot peeped perforce from under
her skirts, and the other was down in
the coal hole under the sidewalk.
It seems that the iron and glass graf
ing that lights the vault under the side.
walk just before the plate glass window
was broken. The hole did not seem
large enough for child's foot to slip
through.
The young woman, pretty blonde in
handsome dark green dress, stopped to
look at the jewelers. wares in the win
dow. Suddenly she gave little shrek,
and seemed to lose half foot of her
stature. She was evidently much dis
tressed at something, and little wonder.
Her French boot had slipped through
the hole in the grating and her leg had
followed it halfway to the knee, as far
as it could go. She tried to pull it out,
but it was wedged fast. So she sat down
on the flagstones and began to cry from
fright and pain and modification.
She was at once surrounded by a
crowd. The police came and made the
people stand back, and kindly faced
old lady did what she could to comfort
the unfortunate girl.
Mr.. Calf sent to machine shop for a
couple of men, and they came with saws,
hammers and crowbars and set about
breaking one of the bars of the iron graf
ing SO as to release the imprisoned foot.
1t took fully half hour, and the crowd
got bigger and bigger every minute, but
finally the iron bar was sawed through,
and the pretty girl was freed from the
most awkward situation of her life.
Then she took a carriage and went home.

Heroic Undertakings.
rChica oo Nava

A devout Russian residing near Arch
angel, on the coast of the Polar sea, ar
rived lately in Odessa on his way to the
Holy Land, which he proposes to ex-
plore from one end to the other. He has
made the entire journey on foot and en-
tirely without means, trusting to the
support of God and of the human hearts
he may move for his sustenance. He eats
nothing but bread and salt, and carries
no baggage to speak of. The journey of
this man is most wonderful undertake
ing, considering the wilderness-like
condition which for thousands of miles
exists in the stretch of country he is ira
versing.
Another Russian, but of entirely diff
ferent caliber, has just completed the
task of rowing in little skff from St.
Petersburg to the Caspian sea. He is a
gentleman of social standing, and was
lionized in every city he touched on his
trip. He claims that the distance he &C
tually Travelled in his boat is nothing
compared to the distance he measured
while dancing with fair Russians at the
balls arranged in his honor

The eank Of Frances Big Loan.

The recent loan of 100000 francs
in gold by the Bank of France to the
Bank of England is still the object of
acrimonious criticism. Here is how the
900 was transferred from the
lender to the borrower. The loan was
made in ingots Of fine gold at the mar
ket rate on the day of transfer. The
Bank of England was obliged to send to
Paris an agent supplied with an English
treasury bond signed by the first lord Of
the treasury as aguarantee of reimburse
ment.
The ingots were delivered in three in
stallments of 25,0OO,O00 each, on three
different days, in the court yard of the
Bank of France, to the English repre-
sentative, and from that moment the
precious metal was entirely at the lat
ter's risk. When the day of payment
arrives three months hence, if no re-
newsl is asked-the loan must be repaid
at the Bank of France, either in ingots
or in pounds sterling, valued at their
weight in fine gold
