the sandwich inventor" because of his
| invention of sandwiches made of toasted
bread and sliced chicken, is again in finan.
cial trouble in New York. He confessed
judgment in that city last week for S742 in
favor Of Tiffany 81 Co. for jewelry pur-
chased several years ago. For this he gave
the firm three notes of S204 each, dated May,
$780, payable six, nine, and twelve months
after date. Since his marriage to a wealthy
widow in New York, which restored his
wasted fortune, he has been a noted celeb
rity. 1t will be remembered that he figured
in New York courts in the summer of 1891
by reason of suit brought against his wife
by a bank in Newport, II. |. He opened an
account with this bank in his wfe's name
and both drew against it until the over

CORRESPONDENT writing from Sparta,
Oregon, says: "There is a man by the
name of Henry Gibson who used to live
in Ryegate, Vermont. Several years ago he
was in Idaho, and was staying with man
who told him he at one time had partner
from near Montpelier, VT, by the name OF
George Stebbins, and that in either 1861, or
1865, he could not tell which, they were ford
ing the Boise river, above Boise City, and
Stebbins' horse got mired and Stebbins was
drowned. He said he had intended to
write to Stebbins' people, but it was sew
eral months before he got into any place
where he could send mail, and he neglected
it, and never did write. This man q do not
know his name) is now dead, and this is all
Gibson knows of it. But he wished me tC
: know about it, and possibly 1 might some
time see some OF the young mans friends
and tell them, what he was sure they never
knew, the fate of George Stebbins,"
SHERIFF HOWE did clever piece of work
last Wednesday in the capture, at Canaan
n. H., of Charles and Arbie Sanders and
Clarence Davis, charged with breaking and
entering the store of j. NJ. Temple and the
meat market of Charles NJ. Bragg at North
field week ago last Saturday night. TIL,
sheriff learned that the men were heading
for the Woodstock fair, but not finding
them there, he went to Canaan, where
, fair was in progress and where the mel
were captured while attempting to dispos,
, of the revolvers and knives stolen from Mr.
Temple. Deputy Sheriff w. b Richardson o
Canaan and Mr.. Bragg rendered valuable as
, sstance 10 Mr.. Howe in the capture of th
> criminals. The three men were brought t.
{ Montpelier on Thursday morning, aTraigneC
| before Justice NJ. L. Smile and bound owe

g THE appearance of Walker Whiteside, til
tragedian, at Blanchard opera house las
Friday and Saturday evenings did not a
tract the audiences that We're anticipated
, / and Mr.. Blanchard can hardly he blame
. for saying that in future, when he is aske
! why he does not bring some eminent tragt
a dian to Montpelier, he shall only point t

. the pleasure it gave them, The secret
Mr. Whiteside's success in inteTpretin
these characters evidently lies in the tho
l. ough naturalness Of his conceptions, an al
o which many imitators of great actors nevt
attain. Especially was this noticeable i
