The scheme attributed to the eX-
Queens friends to take her to Hilo
and to put her on a throne there,
is not new. 1t has been fully eX-
plotted in the NordhoH correspond
ence as one Of the ways in which
the Royalists might overcome the
eighteen shop-keepers, graziers
and politicians and the $50 dilapi-
dated adventures behind them.
We can but hope, Of course, that
the plan will be carried out. When
it is the Provisional Government
will have the fun of detailing a
rowboat, a dozen fremen and a
chemical engine to go over TO Hilo
and run the new monarchy out of
there-that is if the good people of
Hawaii had not already done it
with a garden hose.

ALL that is needed to make
Trousseau's certificate of character
to the late Queen valuable is
Charley Wilson's autograph on the
back. The evidence of the two, on
a matter of that sort, ought to go
together. Trousseau as the family
physician and Wilson as a colleague
who knows the most about the
subject in dispute, and both to-
gether as men who are sensitive to
a fault on any matter of morals,
make bang-up witnesses. Might
they not take the American lecture
platform this winter? 1t would be
a safe time, as eggs are so high
now that few of them would be
bought up by the audiences.

MORE BLOuNT INACCURACIES.

One of the chapters in Mr..
Blount's report is given as follows
by the New York 7ribHae:
A japanese incident which is
both new and interesting is then
related. Mr. Blount says that on
the evening Of the day when the
flag was hauled down the Ameri-
can Minister called on me with
Mr.. Walter G.. Smith, who, he said,
desired to make an important COM
munlcation to me, and whom he
knew to be very intelligent and re-
liable Thercupon Mr.. Smith, with
intense gravity, informed me that
he knew beyond doubt that it had
been arranged between the Queen
and the Japanese Commissioner that
if the American flag and troops
were removed the troops from the
Japanese man of war Naniwa would
land and reinstate the Queen. Mr..
Smith was the editor Of the HA-
wAIIAN STAR, established by the
Annexation club for the purpose of
advocating annexation.
The American Minister eX-
pressed his belief in the statement
of Mr.. Smith and urged the inn
portance of the American troops
remaining on shore until l could
communicate with you and you
could have the opportunity to com
, ulunicate with the Japanese Gov
eminent and obtain from it assur-
ances that Japanese troops would
not be landed to enforce any policy
on the Government or people of
the Hawaiian Islands. | was not
impressed much with these state
mentS.
Mr.. Blount, in the absence of
shorthand notes, was obliged to
depend upon a rather uncertain
memory for the details of the inter
view, 1t is not surprising that he
should have reported it incorrectly,
What the editor of the STAR told
him was that the ex-Queen had
been urged by friends, when the
American proteCtOrate was about
to be annulled, to put herself under
the protection of the Japanese flag;
that she was considering such
move and was inclined to-
wards it; that Royalists had re-
ported that the officers of the
Naniwa were i'll sympathy with
the proposal; and that it might be
well for Mr.. Blount to consider the
-Aanger that would arise if the Jap
ansse should land. This informa
ton was first taken to Mr.. Stevens,
who said that he had already been
made aware of a wish on the eX-
Queens part to seek Japanese aid,
but did not know how far it would
be responded to by the japanese
authorities. At his urgent request
and in his presence the matter was
laid before Mr.. Blount. Mr.. Cleve-
lands agent received the Minister
and the editor with discourtesy,
leaving them at the front door for
some time before he arose from his
chair on the porch and invited them
to be seated. He heard the infor-
nation with the grunts which he
generally used when Annexation
lists had anything to communicate.
AS to statements that anything
had been arranged between the
Queen and the japanese Commits
sioner, or that the Japanese would
land and re-instate the Queen, y
Mr.. Blount is wholly at fault. Nc
such statements were made to him.

THE
CALICRAPH.
The Associated Press have adopt
ed the CALIGRAPH for receiving
messages direct from the wires.

All dispatches on the Associated
Press wires are now copied on writing
machines, and there is general feel.
ing among telegraph managers that
the day is not far distant when every
description of telegram will be
printed on the machine. The move
ment in this direction is vigorous
and persistent, and it will not be
long before typewriting machines
will be considered as much part of
the equipment of every commercial
office as the telegraph Instruments
With view of properly qualify
ing cur Geographic students for this
work, we make no extra charge to
them for instruction in typewriting
and the use of the machine. In
future all pupils IN our Telegrdphic
Department icW be taught to receiUe

In this, as in every other requisite,
it is our intention to keep up with
the demands of modern business
methods. - Hedlds College journal.

paints. His Office is to be at COS Broad
way. Frank Linton is to go with him.
Mr.. Labaree has been very popular bust
ness man here, and the best wishes of

Labaree is to pass into other hands, the
elder member of the firm retiring also. Ne
gotiatlons for a sale of the business out
right are now pending. The purchasers
will get a good, well-established stove, tin
ware and plumbing business.
During the past summer important
changes have been made in the trips of the
freight train gangs of men running between
here and Rutland. Until then the train
men for the extras had been kept here
as headquarters, going to Rutland once
or twice a day, or to the Summit. Now
their headquarters is at Rutland, thus TAX
ing eight or ten men from here. They are
using between here and Rutland as motive
power four of the largest sized "hog'' en-
gines, with which they average to haul
twice the number of cars each way, or Just
about as many as formerly with two en-
gines, on one train. This requires only
half the number of engineers and firemen
as formerly. In these ways the number of
our citizen railroad men for the Central
have decreased, as have those of the Bos-
ton IL Maine in their changes of manage
ment, while the Fitchburg changes have
largely increased by their changes. Freight
traffic through here is slightly larger for the
past month than at the same time last year.

nouncement of whom his deputies were to
be. The Office carries with it a salary of
$50 per month, and Mr.. Kimball will re-
tain his present position as clerk in the
Central Vermont division Office. The gen
eral feeling is that this appointment rem
ders it pretty certain Chas. w. Buttertield
will not receive the appointment of post
master year from now, as it is hardly
probable the Democratic managers would
think it wise to place both appointments
in one family, even if that family did have
the prestige of Hiram Atkins ancestry.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Death of Mrs. F. VI. Wilson.

Our people were saddened last Friday
evening by the intelligence of the sudden
death of Mrs, F. NJ. Wilson, one of our
oldest and best known residents. She had
been in her usual health until few mo-
ments before her death, which occurred
about Z o'clock, while she was arranging
to 90 to opera hall to the entertainment
that evening. The cause was said to be
apoplexy. The family have the sincere
sympathy of our whole community, Mrs.
Wilson was sister of the well-known
Arms family of olden time here, Daniel,
John, Aaron and Otis Arms all being wide
" known and respected business men of
our village,-all now being deceased, leav-
ing only one sister, Mrs. Ball of Deerfield,
Mass. Mrs. Wilson was deeply loved by
all who knew her intimately, she having
many endearing characteristics. To her
casual acquaintance she was ever cordial,
with a happy expression and word for all,
taking a warm interest in whatever inter-
ested those around her. In the circle of
her neighbOrs, and in Emmanuel church,
of which she was an active member, she
will be widely missed, but much more in
the circle of her own home in which are left
her husband and two sons, Fred and Louis,
the only other child being Fannie, wife OF
Carol A. Moore, who lives very near by
on the same street. The funeral was at
tended by Rev. d. l.. Sanford from the
house Monday afternoon.

Fire in the Beaver Wills at Keene-Loss,
SI5.OOO.

Fire was discovered in the Beaver mill,

tammabla material, and it was entirely
Quilted. The tiremeu succeeded in say n
the western half Of the building. About
40 men will be thrown out Of employment.
The fire broke out in almost the same spo,
where the terrible eXpl sion occurred last
May. The company had just finished
rebuilding. The loss on building and ma

A stroll through the mills of the Fall
Mountain Paper company shows one who
has been familiar with them, and with the
manufacture of paper, how much the pres
ent system of paper making varies from
that of few years ago. The rag cutting
rooms and the bleach rooms are nearly all
closed and used for storage now, owing to
the change of stock used to clear wood,
particularly in the manufacture of printing
paper. These methods and materials very
materially reduce the amount of labor re-
quired, and the consequent number of EN-
ployes, even with the same production of
paper. The large rooms formerly used
for the Cheating engines are almost de-
serted, where two years ago they were the
most busy places of the whole mills as far
as manual labor is concerned. More paper
is probably produced than two years ago
but it is done with considerably fewer work
men. The production of pulp has also
changed, the grinding machines used five
years ago being wholly discarded now, and
improved machines used which grind faster
and with less help than formerly. These
changes are brought about by the sharp
competition which is today manifest in
the trade, requiring a much reduced selling
price, and a consequent economy in the
cost of production, causing a change to
machinery in the place of workmen.
