And still the business situation keeps
on improving. Only 200 failures were
reported in the United States last week
about half the number each week for the
previous two months or more. The
number of industrial establishments re-
suming business is increasing, somewhat
slowly, it is true. but as rapidly as could
be expected after so serious depression.
In money centers there appears to be
plenty of money; indeed, there is SC
much of it that some of the New York
banks are retiring part of the extra
circulation they took out during the
hard times of six weeks ago.

Brazil, which set out as republic only
few years ago with bright prospects,
is in a bad way already. Two revolu-
tions got under way at the same time,
one In the navy and the other in the
army stationed in a southern province,
and between the two the government is
about upset. Last week Rio was bonn
barded. and now comes the report that
the president has fled.

SOME CREDULoUs CORRESPONDENT TELLS
AN UNTRUE TALE.

SOME CREDULOUs CORRESPONDENT TELLS
AN UNTRUE TALE.
The Boston Herald of Wednesday con-
tanned a dispatch dated at Montpelier
the 10Th inst, purporting to give the
facts regarding an occurrence at Middle
blebury last June. Investigation shows
that there is no truth whatever in the
statements made in the article.
The Herald spondent's allega-
TORS are, in substance, that one night
last June three members of the sopho-
more class of the college went to the
village cemetery and dug open two
graves-one that of woman who had
been buried 40 years, and the other that
of former instructor in the college
that the skulls were taken from each
grave, together with other bones, and
that these ghastly objects now serve as
decorations in the students rooms.
Quite naturally there was something
of stir here over the report, and vester-
day morning the college and town au-
thorities set to work to ascertain what
there was of the matter. 1t simmered
down to this Two years ago two men,
bers of the class who were sophomores
last June were digging in the ruins of the
old fort at Crown Point. \. y, for rel
les, and came across some human bones.
/ They brought away with them two or
/ thrao thiOh honos In tho Marty was also
member of the next higher class. The
three boys conceived the idea of having
an outlandish picture taken, so they bor-
rowed a woman's skull of Il local doctor,
and armed with this and the thigh bones
from Crown Point, they proceeded to a
photographers. Dressed IN old clothes
and holding the bones in a prominent po-
sition, the three were photographed. The
result was not an attractive picture, to
say the least, but such as 1t was it was
made.
1t is supposed the Herald's story orig
mated from this picture. which may have
fallen into the hands of a stranger in town
and been shown to him with the accom-
paniment of yarn like that to which the
the Herald gives utterance. 1t should be
added that the most careful scrutiny OF
the graves in the cemetery fails to afford
the slightest evidence of disturbance
which could not be the case were the sto
ry true.
1t may be stated, furthermore, that The
students in MIddlebury are wise enough tC
keep out of scrapes of the sort the HeralC
correspondent attributes to them. They
may occasionally break loose and in
dulge in pranks of one kind and another
but no one ever knew of any downright
meanness on their part; and what il
more, no one ever will.
Those in and out of the communit,
who have friends buried here need hav,
no uneasiness about the graves of thei
friends. The students can be depende,
upon TO let them alone.
Yesterdays Herald has two column
more about the alleged grave robbery,
reporter having been sent all the wa
from Boston up here. 1t tells nothin
new or true, probably because there i
nothing of that nature to say on the sub
iect.

The Star. Above the battlefield.

thought the soldier at my feet wa
dead-killed by fragment OF the same
shell which had rendered mehelplesS-
but as the night came down and the
dew began to fall life came back to him.
He lay on his back, his white face up
turned to the heavens, and as l peered
through the gloom 1 saw that his eyes
were open. BY and by, as he whispered
and muttered to himself, the smoke
OF battle which had hung
for hours like black
cloud over that part Of the field
floated of before the night-breeze, and
the purple canopy was studded with
bright stars. His eyes saw them as
we'll as mine, and presently he cried out
in joyful way:
Ben Lit.lo Ben! Ali Thank
God l was dreaming of him, and l
dreamed that Rot home from the war
to find him lying in his coffin. l wept
over him and called him by name, but
he was dead. Kiss me, Benny! Thank
God, that was only dream!"
He was talking to one of the bright
stars above him.
"And that's Nanw he went on after
a minute. II dreamed OF Nan, too; |
was going home from the war and she
came running to meet me. Her face
was pale aud she was weeping, and
when lifted her up she laid her head
on my shoulders and s0bbed. II was
only dream. They haven't been I'M
kind TO my motherless Nan. She is
smiling and happy. My little Mani
1t was only another star. Heaven
was keeping the film OF death from his
eyes that he might see them in his last
hour on earth.
"And there's baby!" he almost shout
ed after the pain OF his wounds had
drawn a groan OF agony. II remember
now, Nan sobbed and sobbed, and finally
told me that baby was dead. Poor
motherless babe! Itlaughed and crowed
when tossed IL in my arms. We're
they unkind to -? No, 1t was only
cream! Ben aud Nan and baby ali
herel They know me-thank God, I've
got homet theml"
An hour later men came with Ian
terms and stretchers.
Take him frst," said, she has
three motherless children"

the corporal as be bent over the rigid
form and flashed his light into the
half-open eyes. 'srhe poor fellow is

Governor MacCorkle to-day refused to
allow q claim presented by w. Z. Paine,
amounting TO S7S2.45, for the expense
Of bringing to this State John Fergu-
son, arrested at Spokane Falls, in the
State OF Washington, on the charge or
numbering a man ia Wayne county,
named Thompson.
Application for reQuisition for Fer
gusOn's extradltion was made TO the
Governor about three weeks ago, and he
agreed 10 issue his reQuiSition for Fer
guson upon the condition that the ex-
pense OF bringing him here would not
exceed $50. Paine took the requlsl-
tion went 10 Washington, got his MAMIE
turned and lodged him in Jail at Wayne
Court House, and then rendered his
claim for the expense of bringing the
prisoner here, amounting to S7S2.45, as
stated
II the claim is allowed, Paine will
have, after deductlng hotel and travel
ing expenses for himself, guard and
prisoner, over $500 as clear profit
The Governor refuses TO pay more than
a reasonable amount for bringing the
prisoner here. Whether Paine will &C
cept any amount less than that claimed
by him remains to be seen.
The Governor is firm in bis determ-
nation TO break up the requiSition
business where il is followed as bust
ness for the purpose of swindling the
State out of money.
He is willing to pay a reasonable
amount out Of the civil contingent fund
for the extradition Of ever person who
has committed a crime in this State and
fed from justice, but is determined to
resist al exhor6itant claims. If his de-
cision in this matter be adhered TO, no
doubt many thousand dollars will there
by be saved to the State annually.
