Michigan university girls are real mad.
Because of an article on co-education In
their monthly publication the faculty went
into the car business and suppressed the
whole edition. That arouses all Of the

A MAIL WAGON HELD UP.
The Beart OF Chicago the Scene OF a
Bold RObberv.

The Eeart OF Chicago the Scene OF q
Bold ROBBERY
CHICAGO. Dec. 15-Jesse James exploits
were outdOne tonight In Chicago. On
one OF the leading thoroughfares five
daring highwaymen suddenly sur
rounded one of Uncle Sans biggest
mail wagons and at a reyolver's point
forced the postal employees TO throw
out several sacks. Tie bulky gov
ernment vehicle was then sent fly
ing on its journey, the occupants being
threatened with instant death if they made
an cutlery or stopped. So complete was the
surprise effected BY the bandits that the
mail drivers failed to utilize the services of
large bulldog revolver which was be-.
side them on their seat. Near
midnight, the stolen mail sacks, slit open
and ritied or their contents, were found on
Superior street, in the north division of the
city. fully three miles from the scene OF the
robbery.
At that hour every available man Of the
city detective force and the postoffice in
spector's staff were straining every nerve
TO obtain clew to the identity of the high
waymen or their whereabouts.
THE ROBBERY.
The wagon was on its way to the main
postofice with mail from the stock yards
and southwest stations. 1t was In charge
OF John Creighton, an experienced
driver, who, after collecting his valua-
BILE freight, drove down Blue Island
avenue to Halstead street and then turned
east on Madison. he was half way to Des-
PLANES street when five men sprang from
the sidewalk. One seized the horse by the
bit, while the others covered Creighton
with revolvers and commanded him
to keep quiet The team was
then led to an alley extending
north from Water street, and there, while
one OF the men covered Creighton with a
revolver. the Others forced open the door of
the wagon, and hastily selecting the regis
tered pouches from the others, made OFF
through the alley. Creighton's guard kept
the captive covered for five minutes, and
then left him.
THE MISSING MAIL
Thoroughly frightened, the driver whip
ping up his horses drove as rapidly as possi-
BILE to the main postoffice, where he re-
ported the affair. An inventory was
then made Of the contents of the wagon
and it was found that two registered
mail pouches from the stock yard station
and that from the southwestern station
and the Blue Island avenue station were
also missing. The value Of the contents is
not known, but Is said TO be heavy.

International copyright is said to affect
the publishers of foreign books but little.
Yet it may affect authors very seriously
after awhile. Books for international copy
right will paw authors nothing more than
national copyrights and the publishers are
likely to only hold them out of other
countries than where they are written. That
will merely serve to circumscribe the fame
Of authors without pronting them anything.

lowed a portion of its contents, died soon
after from the effects. Buel was then ac-
cused of killing the Indian who had fallen
by his own rashness. and in accor lance
with their notions of Justice, his savage
companions claimed that the life of the
iug-owner was forfeit. and sought every or-
portunity to take it, TO escape their ami
mostly Buel sought refuge, privately, in
the then newly settled, and u1acknowl-
edged State of Vermont
Julian Harmon, grandson of Reuben,
ir., thinks VIM. Buel cut the dies for Yer
mont coins. 1t is evident that VIM. Bue
worked in the mint at Rupert, AMI was
perhaps partner of Harmon. Others be-
lieve that one Col William Cooley. gold
smith of New York city, made the dies,
went to Rupert and helped to strike the
coins. James +. Atlee has also the credit
of making the dies. Atlee was partner
of Captain Machin, who had a mint house
at New Grange, Ulster county, y. Y.
This mint was for the manufacture of
hardware" There were ten partners in
the concern, according to an indenture
made the 9TH of June. 1887, in which Reu-
ben Harmon of the county of Bennington,
Vermont, was party of the first part. In
this document, which is too long for this
paper, it is recited that Harmon had a
contract for the coinage of copper coin for
the state of Vermont. In it he passes over
to his copartners the right to continue his
contract i'm case of his death. The history
of Scohare county by Sinms says, "Wheth-
er the long firm money makers ever coined
money enough to till the pockets of all the
Green Mountain boys; or whether they
found the business profitable, is uncer-
tain"
In conclusion | can assume that the
amount of coins made at Rupert for Yer
mont did not exceed 1000 pounds of cop
per, and that there was no profit in it for
any one. At the beginning Vermont cop
pers passed two for n penny, afterward -four.
then six, lastly eight. This last figure was
too much. and therefore the coinage was
discontinued. III. u. SMITH.

LAWN TENNIS AT RUTLAND.

The BrattlebOro tennis players have
made an excellent record this week in the
tournament for the state championships
at Rutland. Yesterday Charles ii. Thomp-
son and Miss Ethel Dalton won the cham
pionship in mixed doubles, easily defeating
w. NJ. Ross and Miss Fox of Rutland 81
and 81, and Mr.. Merrill and Miss Patter-
son, "a and 81. The finals in ladies' sim
giles will be played today, and the Rutland
Herald says Miss Dalton will probably be
the winner. c. II. Thompson and Lewis
A. Gregg competed in the mems singles
and doubles. In the first game Gregg lost
his chance by being defeated by HOLSTER
of Manchester. HOllister, who lives at
Manchester only during the summer, is
one of the crack players of the country and
has made good showing in the New Eng
land tennis tournament. Thompson defeat
ed Judson of Arlington 81, 2-6 and go,
and VIII Field of Rutland 6-2 and 90 in
the preliminary singles.
During the mems doubles, in which
Gregg and Thompson had two Airing
ton players, for opponents, Thompson
fell and put his shoulder out of joint. This
so far incapacitated him for playing that
they lost the match, which they would
probably have won if Thompson had been
in condition. Three men were left for the
finals in the mems singles-Thompso
HOLSTER of Manchester and Ross of Rut-
land. On account of ThOmpsOn's injury
his match with HOLSTER was postponed
one day, but when he was ready for the
contest yesterday the Rutland players who
had the tournament in charge said that the
time was short and asked him if he would
withdraw. This he did as Il matter of ac-
comodatiOn to the managers, but did not
default the match as stated in the Rutland
Herald. w. NJ. Ross finally won the sim
giles from HOLSTER. Merrill and Field Os
Rutland won the mems doublef.

cottage Park, Mass letter to the Boston Record ]
Mrs, Smith, wife of eX-Gov. Smith of
Vermont, is at the Bartlett House with her
daughter, and her son-in-law, Rev. Mr.
Mckay of st. Adams, Vt Mrs. Smith is
a most interesting and cultivated woman
and the author of several striking books.
The fact of her authorship was discovered
here in a rather odd fashion. A lady with
whom she was cOnversing on the piazza, on
Sunday afternoon, said: II have a book
that l wish you would read. | am sure
you would like it. 1t is a very strange and
original story of the world before the flood
and is called Soda" Mrs. Smith smiled
and quietly said: II wrote it," Naturally
the announcement created a small sensa-
ton, and a volley of questions followed that
extracted the information that Seola was
only one of half dozen similar works.
Similar, | mean, in the sense that all are
wonderfully imaginative, dealing with I'M
known periods and parts of the world.
Another story is "Atla," which is a tale of
the lost continent Atlantis Both books
are beautifully written and show a strongly
poetic nature, so that one is not surprised
to learn that the writer has also written
several exquisite poems.

Deadly Disease among Cattle


There seems to be unmistakablc evil
dcnce that several cattle in La How and the
adjoining town of Cavcndish have been
carried of with some deadly disease one
man in Ludlow has already lost either four
or five and another a less number. At
Cavendish, on the farm of Joseph V. Ath-
erton, no less than II have died by disease
or have been despatched by order of the
cattle commissioners. DIR. Moren of St Al
bans and II. b. Williams of Bristol, vino
were called to Cavendish on Wednesday to
act in their official capacity. 1t was at
first supposed that the herd at Cavcndish
brought the disease from the west side of
the mountain, having come from Castleton
some time during the spring. but the fact
that cattle have also died in Ludlow would
seem to indicate that the disease. the
dreaded anthroX. had its origin nearer by.
Capt. III. b. Atherton of Nashua, y. H.,
brother of Joseph v, had charge of the
AIRY capacity, and says the balance of the
herd are all hale and hearty. The lot TAX
EN- to CavendSh We're not in as good flesh
as those left, but in all other respects were
the same. The cows which were killed at
Cavendish were appraised at Sis per head.
The pasture where the diseased cattle ran
and where four died, has been ordered
quarantined by the commissioners, and DIR.
Moren is quoted as saying that he did not
expect any further trouble from the disease
in Cavendish.

Death by Suicide of Ellis Halliday.


Ellis Halliday, man SO or 20 years old,
well known in West Brattleboro and Mari
boro, committed suicide by shooting last
Sunday morning at Robert Rockwelrs on
Dummerston Hill, where he had been liv-
ing. The deed was done with shot gun
early in the morning. The other men of
the family had just gone to the barn to
to milk, Halliday remaining at the house
instead of going with them as he usually
did. On hearing the report of the gun
they returned and found Halladay's dead
body in the shop. 1t is evident that he
had gone there and placed the muzzle of
the gun against his chest and leaned over
and pulled the trigger, tearing an ugly hole
through the heart and lungs. Death must
have been instantaneous. The town ali-
thorties and Halladay's friends in West
BrattebOro were at once notified, and the
body was properly cared for. The funer-
al took place on Tuesday, and was attend
ed by the pastor from Willamsville. Hal
laday leaves a wife and three daughters,
his wife and one of the daughters being
resident in the West village. He had been
man of thriftless habits through life, and
had often threatened to put an end to
himself in this way
