WASHINGTON NOTES.
THE PUBLIC DEBT.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The public debt
of the United States shows a gratifying de-
crease within the last ten years the burden
per capita being reduced from $3S So in 1880
to $4 63 in lS9O. The Indebtedness of the
state and territories has also decreased
1872 $40 during the decade, reducing the
per capita from $5.75 in 1880 to $3.50 in 1890.
1t should be remembered, however, that of
the total decrease of state debt as repore~
has been scaled by refunding in some
southern states twenty millions.

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The Ladies' Aid society gave an ice
cream and cake festival at the church
vestry Friday evening and cleared
over $25. This completes the $1,000
pledged by the society for the new
organ, and the ladies are certainly
deserving of great credit.
The Epworth league held an in
formal reception at the parsonage
Monday evening.
Children's day was observed last
Sunday. The pastor preached an
excellent sermon to the young folks
in the morning, and a concert was
held in the evening. The little peo-
pie acquitted themselves in very
creditable manner. The church was
very deliberately decorated with
wild flowers and ported plants.

THAT HORSE AFFAIR.

There have been further develop

wholesale expulsion of horsemen at
Pimlico Park, Baltimore, in which
st. Johnsbury horseman and one
from Windsor were involved Mr..
Davis, the owner of Tom Hamil-
ton writes to the Windsor Journal
as follows:
Il wish to state that Tom Hamil-
ton was entered in the stake race
at Baltimore by Frank Herdic of
Pennsylvania, a man who follows
the races and is principal pool seller
at all large meetings. The arrange
ment was made with Mr.. Brewster,
my driver, for the horse to start at
Baltimore unbeknown to me. NY
instructions to Mr.. Brewster were
to win the race, if possible, and
told him l had rather give him $500
than to have the horse beaten. l

Especial Dispatch to the CALIFORNIAN
BIG BLAZE AT SWANTON.

Swanton was visited by destruc-
tive blaze near midnight of last night,
when the large highway bridge which
connects the main part of the village
with that part of it where the depot
is located was destroyed by fire, to-
gether with the large dressing mill
and grain conveyer owned by Villas,
Hawley and Lapelle. The exact
amount of the loss and insurance is
not known at this writing. The fire
caught in the bridge, but whether it
was due to the accidental dropping
of a match, or to incendiarism, is not
definitely known. The loss is SER
ious one, affecting not only promi-
nent business enterprise, but interfer-
ing considerably with access to the
depot vicinity.

wood of New York city and the
second by Rev. DR.. Bullen of Newton,
Mass. The former spoke on the
work of home missions, setting forth
what was already being accomplish
ed, the need of larger work, and the
motive which should underlie all
labor of this kind. The second speak
er dwelt upon the need of a more
thoroughly educa ted ministry. Both
speakers urged upon the churches a
closer attention to missionary opera
tons During Intervening Mr.. Harry
May and Miss SOule favored the
audience with music, each singing a

On Thursday morning, after the

BASE BALL NE VS..

George F. Miner, now law-stu-
dent in New York, wrote home that
he attended the New York Chicago
game Saturday, being one in the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a
game of ball in New York. The paid
attendance was %, 2S9 and right op-
posite nearly 10000 people saw
Princeton defeat Yale by a score of
5 too.
Two games of ball are to be played
by the St. .Johnsburys this week, one
today at 3, with the Newports and
one next Saturday afternoon with
the Dartmouths. The game this af
ternoon promises to be very inter
esting, and as for Saturdays game
everybody will want to see the Dart
mouth college boys play ball. 1t
will be one of the best games of the
season.
AT the game between the St. Johns
burys and Newports at Newport
last week Wednesday some hood
lums bet on the St. Johnsbury team,
and when they found they were go
ing to lose their money blowed on
tin horns and made all the noise they
could to ''break up the home nine.
The Newport Express scores them
very severely for their conduct
which, it seems to us, was just as
much Of an insult to the visiting nine
as to the home nine Ball teams
who come to St. Johnsbury may be
assured of honorable treatment both
from the home nine and from the
spectators.
The game between the St. Johns
burys and Lyndonville railroad nine
at the Vile Saturday was won by
the St. Johnsburys by a score of SO
to IA. 1t was great game for hits
and in one inning all the members of
the visiting team batted around
twice and Clark was at the bat
three times and made a two-base
hit each time.
The Vermont University nine are
playing fine ball nowadays. They
put up good game with the Wales
Tuesday, the score standing 5 to 3
against them. They were to play
again with the Yale nine Yesterday
and today.
