The London Times publishes letter from
Lisbon, in which the writer claims that
President Balmaceda OF Chill, being unable
to borrow money, seized the silver bullion
in the treasury Of Santiago de Chill which
was stored there as security for the fduciary
circulation, and that he tried to transport
this silver abroad ms payment for ships and
arms ordered In Europe. The writer adds
that BalmacCda was not able to hire a
private vessel to undertake the trans
portation of the silver, and he finally
persuaded the commander of the Espicglc, a
| British man-of. war, to convey sl,uO0,OoO to
Monteviico, where that SUI was landed on
Aug. Is. The Times, In commenting upon
this letter, says that 1t is confident that that
was done without the consent Of the British
admiralty, adding that it seems as though n
| British man -of-war had been made the ac
compIice in a downright robbery. The
transaction, the Times says, demands full
and prompt investigation.

BEnhINGT0n'S centennial,
GREAT GRANITE SHAFT ERECT.
ED TO HER HEROES.
Flags and Decorations on Every
Hand.

Although Sunday the 10th. was the Tooth
anniversary OF the battle OF Bennington, the
people wisely decided to put of the celebra-
tlOn oi the event until the 18th inst., when
the Observance Of Vcrmonts centenary, Ms
well AS the dedication of the great granite
SHAFT erected to the memory of her warrior
colonists were fttingly observed.
The monument, which Is a plain granite
shaft, nearly 3OS feet high, is the tallest bat
Tie mon lment ever erected in this country,
aud was built by Mr.. William II, Ward, the
famous contractor of Lowell, Mass, who Is
the reel iient OF the highest encomiums for
the excellent manner In which he executed
the great work. To be exact the following
are its dimensions;
Sixe at base, 37x37 feet: height to top of
! capstone, 30l feet l0i inches; height to top Of
star, 3OI feet ~ inches. The lookout room
Is lSS feet above the entrance. Cost OF mon
ument and site, over 100000 The corner
stone was laid with imposing ceremonies.
| Aug. l6, 1887, and the enormous cap stone
| was placed In position two years later
The importance Of the battle which the
monument commentaries cannot he over
| estimated as 1t virtually was (he beginning
of the end Of the struggle for independence,
| and 1t VIII tell to future generations the story
| OF the privations, tue suffering and the blood
| shcd hy the fathers to secure to us the bless
| lngs OF free government and the fOunding z
OF commonwealth amid these mountains.
The monument Is a perfect success As a
n work OF art. 1t stands out in bold relief
simple. graceful, grand. AS suggested by
Prof. Truman Bartlett, the right angle cor.
ners OF the shaft, and also at all the windows
and openings, the stone is finished in half
inch draft line arris. This adds much to its
artistic beauty. The elongated top is the
creation Of Prof. Oln L. Warner, the sculp-
tor. Nearly all the other points ofthe struc-
ture were designed by Prof. J. p. Rine Of
Boston.
In the words OF ore writing description
of the imposing structure and the beauty Of
It's location; "All the finer qualities of the
monument are seen TO the best advantage
when looking at it from the east, just as the
sun has set behind the high western hills
and the sky is thickly strcaked with bright
lines Of radiance. Tho flaming background
| brings ont tie wonderful symmetry
Of the shaft and gives it poisc ana graceful.

STATE HOUSE NOTES.

The State ASSESSORS have completed
their lsbors for the month, and adjourned
Yesterday till the first Tuesday in May.
Hon. A. r. Bixby. of Skowhegan, was
1t the Capitol Friday morning.
The State Board of Health department
10 busily engaged in sending out blanks for
the local boards to I'LL out and return to
the state department. This is the second
! stage Of proceedings necessary in reachir g
the local boards and securing the desired
information. First, blank postals are sent
to the municipal officers asking informa-
ton as to whom have been appointed on
the local boards, and then the boards are
addressed and asked to seud in their or
gsnization. Opportunity is also taken in
connection With these communications with
the local boards to send out circulars and
disseminate the desired instruction. The
following is one Of the new circulars, which
experience has demonstrated IL" necessary
Ths general work 10 the offica Of the
secretary Of the State Board Of Health
necessarily takes precedence Of the work
Of water analysis, therefore delay in re-
porting results is sometimes a necessity.
Where there appears to be a need Of it,
report Is made at the earliest practicable
moment.
Notify this office when you wish to serd
samples, and bottles for that purpose will
be sent in packing boxes. Samples sent
without previous notification are almost
Invariably unsuitable and are necessarily
thrown out without examination. Bother
are sent out free by express. Applicants
must prepay return express charges.
The. analyses Of samples Of water ordin-
srily made require about half 8 day for
each, and, in the doing Of our somewhat
routine work in the examination Of water
for the purpose Of learning whether they
contain pollutipg or other matters uufltiag
them IS drinking waters. we always have
rather more than we ought to dosswith the
other work in the cffice. As the ansly sis
Of samples for the purpose Of determining
their medicinal qualities would take much
more time, we were obliged to draw line
and exclude all this kind Of work, and
therefore, the laboratory has never been
fitted up for it II, therefore, the Object
in sending mples is to have their medici-
nal qualities determined, l am sorry TO say
we cannot do the work for you.
II the object Of the application is help
in the choice Of public water supply, we
would advise, by all means, the sending Of
more than single sample from each place
Of collection. The quality of the water
furnished by some sources Of supply, OF
proposed sources. varies much 1t different
seasons and during different sorts Of wealth
Their. When practicable to do so. it is bet
ter to extend the examinations over a.
mary months IS possible, preferably {
whole year, making arrangements to send
samples every one or two months.
