About two hundred persons greet

This demonstrates the appreciation
in which the talents of the club are
held by our citizens and an interest
in the public spirited project the club
have in hand, as the weather was

worse still. Had il not been for
those unfortunate conditions standing
room would have been at a premium.

She Fought n Burglar.

A bold attempt at robbery was frus-
trated by the bravery of Mrs. A. H.
Chapman, wife of the agent of the
United States and Pacific Express com
panies in Pueblo, Colo. Shortly after
dark, but before her husband had re-
turned from his office, Mrs. Chapman
had occasion to go into the kitchen, when
she was startled to see man standing
in the middle of the floor, and upon ask
ing what he wanted he replied, "Those
earrings" pointing to pair of very valu-
able solitaire diamonds which the lady
wore. She fled to another room and
armed herself with revolver, but the
fellow not following her she again ven
tured into the kitchen.
He bounced upon her from the pantry,
where he had hidden, and hand to hand
struggle ensued, in which she repeatedly
struck him over the head with the re-
volver, it unfortunately not being load
ed. A well directed blow from his fist
laid her upon the floor senseless. but
when she recovered she was alone and
her valuables undisturbed, the marauder
having evidently been frightened away
by her screams.-Cor. st. Louis Globe

town hall by local talent.

with two or three towns in Windsor
county, was represented at a meeting
of school directors in the town hall at
Brattleboro last Monday. H. G. Ry-
der Of Bellows Falls presided and G..
M. Russell of Wilmington was secre-
tary.
State Superintendent NJ. c. Stone
spoke Of the crudeness of the laws and
advised the directors to proceed eau
tiously.
Judge Wheeler of the, United States
court advised delay on the subject of
the distribution of the school money un-
til the matter was better understood
A general discussion followed, and
there was general agreement that
there should be a policy of co-opera-
ton on the part of the directors.
The law is so ambiguous, owing to
the failure of the legislature to pass a
bill governing the distribution of pub
lie money, that there seems to be gen.
eral disagreement as to course of ac-
ton. The new law establishing the
town system goes into effect April l.,
and the law requires that the money
shall be distributed on the oath of the
present month. The distribution of the
money is left them under the old law
which stands in conflict with the new
law.

The new premier of the Australian
colony of Victoria, Mr.. Patterson, began
life as workingman, like John Burns,
and is in full sympathy with industrial
progressive movements in all their FORMS
1t is something new for workingmen to
have man from their own ranks hold
a high official position, but it shows
what must come. 1t is said that the first
object of Mr.. Patterson will be torevive
the declining prosperity Of Victoria and
to make an effort to stop the piling up of
any more debt. This resolution is es-
pecially gratifying to England. By the
way, it is odd, is it not, while the United
States is rich and prosperous and grow
ing more SO as fast as any country can,
that the colonies of Great Britain are
struggling with debt and seem to be
moving backward? Canada is one ex-
ample of it; India is in chronic state of
poverty and distress-often hunger
while some of the colonies even of rich
Australia, Victoria, for instance, are in
condition of great financial depression.

M. Moissan, member of the French

last he has accomplished the feat Of
melting down pure carbon and crystalliz-
ing it intogenuine diamonds. He did this
by means of an electrical furnace, which
enabled him to obtain heat of 8, 400 de-
grees Fair. If, now, it becomes possible
to manufacture diamonds, their great
value will at once be gone, for anybody
can own and wear them. In the same
way, if gold We're as plentiful as iron, it
would be much less valuable than IRON
