Y. NJ. G. A. ATHLETES.

The supple young men and boys who have been
training at the Y NJ c. A gymnasium during the
winter under the instruction of Alfred jefferson,
gave an exhibition at the town hall last evening
which was a revelation to many of the spectators.
While the main object of the training has been
systematic body building. several of the more
regular workers have become skillful in difficult
and fancy movements. These young athletes
took part in the performance:
Senior class d. Stote II. Horton. W Dunlevy,
E Wilcox, G. Cheney. j. O'Connor. c. Miles, J.
Clark, II. Dunklee q. Bartlett, W. Cooley, F.
Thomas j. Howe, j Clune, f. Lavelle 5. Thomas,
b. Young.
Junior class-T. Adams H. Rice. D. Stolte, W.
Heald c. Cain, F. Adams, c. Webb. l. White,
G.. Clapp, L. Corser, p Babbtt, j. Clark. R. Cain,
G.. Reed VI. Davis, R. Elmer. c. Holt. f. Cundiff.
The entire class went through the dumb bell
drill This and part of the horizontal bar and
buck work is the regular drill for each night In
the kicking Howe made backward kicks and Hor
ton with both feet, The latter reached the high
est mark with the one-foot kick. The wand drill
by the junior class was prettily performed while
the buck vaulting, shooting. ETC. by the senior
class was interesting. Dedirich Stote gave a
graceful exhibition of fancy club swinging. with
great variety of movements. The parallel bar
drill included fancy work, and there were very
difficult executions on the horizontal bar. The
Indian club drill by seven members was perhaps
the prettiest performance of the evening. while
the tumbling, by jefferson & Stolte. Horton &
Dunlevy particularly the trick work by the latter
two was excellent. The pyramids closed the
exhibition. Later the classes had an oyster sup
per at the Y. NJ. Z. a, rooms and Instructor JEFF
ferson was presented with gold ring. Mr.. JEFF
rarson has been the most painstaking instructor
ever engaged by the association, aad his depart
ure will be regretted. He will go to the Mt. Her
mon school to act as physical director.

Charles Dudley Warner, in the editors
study of Harper's magazine for April, viii
have something to say about the largest
uses of education for the individual and
society. Zone reason" he says, why the
West is so progressive in the liberal arts,
in the formation of libraries and galleries,
and in schemes for diffusing cultivation, is
that so many college-bred young men have
gone there and gone into business. A
man may not be better lumberman be-
cause he can read Latin, and knows the
difference between Hawthorne and Rider
Haggard, but he. will be a more interesting
man. And to have an interesting society
that is, to lead interesting lives-is alto
gether the most important worldly thing in
this earthly sojOurn."

laborer, have a right to protection by the
courts, it is held, against any course which
makes them suffer because employers and
employed do not agree. The use of the
boycott and of sympathy strikes" is
clearly covered in the general issue No
claim is raised against the right of work
ingmen to strike. The point is that in
pressing their demands labor unions must
not conspire to distress the general public
who are innocent of guilt in the matter.
Such decision is nothing less than rev
olutionary in its character. If affirmed by
the United States supreme court it will
make new definition of the relations be-
tween labor and capital, and of these both
to the public whom they serve. The ben
efits cannot all be on one side, and as sug-
gested last week, the correlative question
must also be raised as to the duty of cor
porations toward their employees, and their
right to discharge their men or establish a
lockout for purely arbitrary reasons.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL,
AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.

The very unwecome news was received
Wednesday night, through despatch pub
lished in the evening papers, that Charles
f. Tones, the local manager of the Amer
lean Preservers company at Buffalo, N. Y,
had disappeared, leaving a letter stating
that he was a defaulter. The amount of
his shortage is estimated at between S1O,-
600 and 5000 Tones is a young man
of about 30, with many friends among the
young people in Brattleboro, aside from
his family connections. He held respon-
sible place at Buffalo. The American Pre-
servers company is Chicago concern with
large capital, and branches at several cities.
With the men prominently interested in
the concern, Mr.. Tones has been con-
nected since his entrance into business life.
He first went TO New Orleans in a venture
for them which did not prove successful,
and three or four years ago was established
at Buffalo. He is a man of great activity
and good business ability. His friends
have known that he was dipping into va
rious speculative enterprises, and it is be-
lieved by them that the fatal stroke was
connected with some Chicago deal. He
has wife and two young children.
Ldter.-A letter received this morning
by the family of Mr.. Tones from an init
iiihOC lllCuu vi HIS OildSs II. lOmtS III
Buffalo, states that the affair is not so bad
as first reported and the shortage will not
exceed $1,000 or $4,000. Mr.. Tones went
to the firms head office in Chicago last
Saturday and reported his affairs, stay
ing only few hours. Mr. Breemer, his
employer, was not quite satisfied with his
statement, but was assured by Mr.. Tones
that it was all right and he would so con-
vince him, but he Immediately returned to
Buffalo and there before leaving the city,
left a small check for his wife and letter
for the firm, admitting that he was short,
but was in hopes that his New York rela-
tives would help him. Mr.. Breemer came
to Buffalo and is kindly disposed towards
Mr.. Tones, and has gone to New York to
see what can be done

Great Britain has raised the rank of Sir
Julian Pauncefote, now representative of
that country at Washington, from envoy
extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary
TO ambassador. 1t is said that France,
Germany, Russia and Austria will follow
this example. The action taken by the
British government is the first response to
the enactment of the provision in the dip
lomatic and consular bill passed by the last
Congress, which provides that whenever
the President shall be advised that any for
eign government is represented or is about
to be represented at Washington by an am
bassador he may direct that the represen-
tative of the United States to such govern
ment shall bear the same title. 1t is alto
gether probable that President Cleveland
minister to London.
The provision in the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill to which we have
alluded was inserted because representa-
tives of the United States at foreign courts
have been compelled to yield precedence in
official position and in social matters to
the representatives of smaller countries
with higher titular rank. This was gener-
ally embarrassing and frequently humliat-
ing. For a great many years heretofore
the United States has accredited no ambas-
sador to any foreign country, and none has
been sent here, because reciprocity is al
ways observed in diplomatic titles.

Murderer Lotimer Escapes.

r.. Irvington Latimer, the murderer, has
escaped from the state prison at jackson,
Mich. The keys of the prison are missing
and Latimer is believed to have obtained
them and made his escape by the front
door of the prison. Capt Hill, in charge
Of the prison at night, is in Jail now. 1t
is supposed that Latimer got possession of
some powerful drug and administered it to
the guards and night turnkey. Haight,
one of the guards, was found dying early
Monday morning. an hour after Latimer
made his escape He died two hours later.
Latimer was allowed unusual liberties in
the prison, and he took a rife with him
when he left. Latimer murdered his
mother at jackson on the night of January
"a, 1889. He was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. Latimer's father died under
suspicious circumstances a year previous to
the murder He was heavily insured in
favor of his wife and son, and it is believed
that the latter poisoned him.
Latimer was captured Is miles from
jackson and brought back to the prison.
His case has aroused so much feeling that
it is probable that capital punishment will
be revived.

Hoke Smith of Georgia, the new secre-
tary of the interior, who is evidently feel
ing the pressure of the Georgia Office seek
ers, has had formal typewriter letter
prepared which he will mail to the anxious
applicants. The refreshing part of it is
the finish wherein he calmly says:
II would suggest if it would not be better to re-
main in Georgia. where the opportunities for a
good man are decidedly better than those furnish
ed through the holding Of public office Govern
ment officers get into groove which units them
for civil life and il would be the part of wisdom
to steer clear of their entauglements, and to find
in private life those rewards which can never
come to the oftice-holder'
Hoke Smith will be likely to be mobbed
if he ventures back to Georgia after send
ing one of these letters to every able
bodied man in the state.

A bottle has been picked up at Norfolk,
Va, containing letter signed by John
Oslen, cattleman," stating that the White
Star steamer Naronic had been struck by
an iceberg and was rapidly sinking. The

the letter is of course, a canard.
A decision of Judge Greene of the fed

the Edison companies. Companies all

The Vermont Senators aud their WASH
ingtOn Interests.

Washington letter TO the Burlington Free Press J
Senator Proctor is sitting each dav for
an oil portrait of himself, which is to be
hung in the Office of the war department
as compliment to the group of eX-secre-
taries which adorn the walls of that fine
room. The painting is being made by
Hardy of Boston.
Senator Proctor i'm partnership with
Clinton Smith of Middlebury, of the firm
of Smith d Allen, contractors and build
ers, is erecting six fine houses in the resi-
dence part of Washington. The houses
are 20 feet front with south exposure and
will have three stories and basement with
all modern improvements. The fronts
will be of marble and the row will be one
of the most attractive in the city when
completed.
Senator Morrill, has lately bought bust
ness property which is under rent at a rev.
enue to the owner of about 10 per cent per
annum. Probably more than half of the
United States senators, and about all who
have held long terms of service, are inter-
ested as owners or part owners in both the
residence and business properties of Wash
ington, and they also hold large interests
in nearly all the corporations of the city.
Many representatives have like interests.

ate in securing for the April number
some interesting unpublished correspond

by William Carew Hazlitt. Another arti-
Gle devoted to correspondence is the result
of a curious find" and one specially in
terestiDg to New nglanders-namely,
some letters from Henry Pelham to John
Singleton Copley. These were discovered
in the English public record office, in a
bundle marked intercepted letters" and
are full of interesting and detailed accounts
of the state of Boston in 1870 and also in
1775, during the siege. They are now for
the first time published. DIR. Edward Ev-

Mrs Aulenia Judson died March 81, aged 91.l
The day is done and the long journey ended,
These pilgrim feet have entered into rest:
How long the way, with joy and sorrow blended,
How sweet to find the mansions OF the blest.
The Fathers house is full of light and gladness,
All the lost faces of thy loved are there;
All the hushed voices that were missed in sadness
Welcome thee softly at the portals fair.
We say good by" God speed thee, dear departed;
We linger yet as pilgrims of the night.
And sorrow, not as mourn the broken hearted
A little while, we, too, shall find the light,
