dispatches yesterday and today from Rio

The Week in Business Circles.

The commercial agencies report improve

are many indications that the storm is not
over The Amoskeag mills at Manchester,
y. H., will be shut down during August
on account of the congested condition of
the market, and 5000 hands will be thrown
out of employment. The iron mill oper-
atives and representatives of the amalgam-
ated association have failed to reach an
agreement in Pittsburg, Pa, and in the
meantime 10000 workmen in Pennsylva-
mia and Ohio are idle. The property of
the Schleisinger syndicate, controlling
dozen large mines in northern Michigan
and Wisconsin has been attached. The
suspension of the Kansas City national
bank of Kansas City, Mo-, which had
capital of S1,0OO,OOO, caused a dozen other
banks in Kansas City and in other places
in Kansas to go to the wall. Six large
building and loan associations of st. Louis
transferred their property Monday. The
greatest excitement has been at Den

Great Indignation was expressed against

REUNITED AFTER 27 YEARS,
The Strange Case of L. G. Miller
of This Town,
Old, and who Now, Man of 81,
Finds His Mother.

who was Abducted when Three Years
Old. and who Now, Man of 81,
Finds His Mother.
L. c. Miller has just returned from Wor-
cester, Mass, after a three weeks visit
with his mother, from whom he has been
separated for y years, having been ab-
Quoted by his father when only three years
old. Mr.. Miller has been searching dill
gently for his mother for the past eight
yers, but for a long time was bafiled, ow-
ing to the false evidence given him by
relatives in regard to his place of birth
He was told that he was born in Boston
whereas the place was Fitchburg. But
mother and son have at last been reunited,
in spite of relatives who for some reason at
present unknown sought to have them
remain separated.
Mr. Miller's father was John L. Miller,
a native of West Brattleboro, formerly
the proprietor of a drug store here some
40 years ago. From here the father went to
Boston, and while there married Elizabeth
A. Drury of Fitchburg. L. c. Miller is
the only living child of this marriage.
The father and mother separated and the
latter being given the charge of the son,
then two years old, placed him with a
friend in Hudson, Mass. The father fire.
quently called to see the son, and one day
asked to take the child out for a ride He
did not return and during the next few
years the mother searched in vain for her
son. The first three years after the abduc-
tion the son lived in Boston, East Boston
and Chelsea. The father went to Halifax
n. S., and later returned to Boston, where
he opened drug store. From Boston he
moved to Vineland, \. j., where the son
lived until 10 years ago, when he came to
BrattlebOTO. The father married again
after going to Vineland and is now living
there with family.
After coming here facts came to light
which led L. c. Miller to believe that his
own mother was still living. He tried for
a long time to get some trace of her where
abOuts, but without success. A few
months ago the mother wrote to Town
Clerk Newton asking if John L. Miller
lived here. Mr. Newton replied, stating
that he was not here, but that he thought
son was here. This led to correspon-
dence between the mother and son and,
finally, theiI recent meeting.
1t was happy day for the mother and
the son, and it can be imagined that they
had much to tell each other of their ex-
periences during all these years. The son
had no recollection of his mother and, of
course, he had changed so greatly in the
years between three and 81 that she did not
recognize him, as the child who was stolen
from her is now man with family of
his own. Until their correspondence be-
gan neither knew that the other was living.
Further developments in this strange case
may be expected, as Mr.. Miller is positive
that his fathers relatives were interested
in keeping him separated from his mother;
and there are also other things which he
has accertained which cannot be made
public at this time.

People who are fond of going to inter-
national exhibitions will have opportunity
in the next few years to crafty their taste
in this direction. About the first of April
there will be opened in Madrid universal
international exposition" under the aus
pices of the Spanish government Spain
has maintained all along that the Colum-
bian exposition of 1893 should have been
held in Spain, which paid Columbus's ex-
penses, instead of at Chicago Three years
after that, in 1897, the Turkish govern
ment is to hold a grand international ex-
hibition in Constantinople, that the world
"may be made acquainted with Turkeys
power, and that the Turks shall obtain an
understanding of the resources of other
countries" Some eXpositions of lesser
importance will occur and then will come
the universal exposition in Paris in the
year 1900, for which the French govern
ment is already making preparations.

MR.. RUDYARD KIPLING IN HIS
AMERICAN HOME.

The house built by Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
for himself in the midst of the hills near
BrattlebOro, Vermont, is charmingly situ-
ated, and commands a superb view of
meadow, mountain and woodland, includ-
ing a prospect of Mount Monadnock and
other New Hampshire peaks. The house
itself is a long frame structure, two stories
and half in height above the irregularly
laid foundation of stone, and is painted in
wood green's and browns that harmonize
pleasantly with the hillside at its back.
In spite of posters, Mr.. Kipling has had
difficulty in keeping too-curious visitors off
of his land and out of the house ITSELF
Near the new dwelling is the homestead of
the Balestiers, into whose family Mr.. Kip
ling married, and within easy walking
distance is the tiny cottage where Mr.. and
Mrs. Kipling have spent the winter and are
still biding the completion of their larger
home. Mr.. j. Lockwood Kipling, the
novelist's father, who is now staying with
them, has been for twenty-eight years in
the civil service in India. His son appar-
emily takes kindly to American rural life,
and may be met tramping about the wooded
roads, gun in hand, in heavy boots, shoot
ing suit, and huge gray felt hat wreathed
with white pugree-a picturesque figure
who might have stepped out of a book of
subtropical adventure.
