THE PERU OUTRAGE.

LIMA, Peru, April 10th.-The wound
ing of the Consular Agent of the United
States, which Minister Hicks reported to
the Washington Government, occurred
at Mollendo, Peru, March 18th. The
trouble grew out of the anti Masonic
demonstrations which have lately been
made in Peru, under the direction of the
Bishop of Arequipa. Masonic rites
were being observed at the lodge room,
and, during the ceremonies, mob at
tackled the building, and those who
were participating in the rites were
driven from the lodge room. The mob
then sackad the lodge room and burned
the building. A few shots were fired,
one of which wounded the American
Consular Agent in the leg. 1t is said
the riots were caused by the action of
the Masons in ignoring an edict against
their ceremonies, which was issued by
the Roman Catholic Bishop of Arequipa.
The Sub-Prefect of police, who made no
effort to protect the Masons, has been
dismissed by the Government, and will
be placed on trial.
PANAMA, April 10th.-Reports have
reached here that an Ant-Masonic riot
recently occurred at La Paz, Bolivia,
during which five were killed and many
wounded.

A FREE LUNCH.

1t is the custom of many of the trust
companies and large banking houses in
this city to provide noon meal for all
of their employees, on their own premises.
This is done for two reasons-to save
time and to prevent leakages of Office
secrets. One of the most important
trust companies down town has a
thoroughly equipped restaurant on the
top floor of its building, where about
$50 men, women and boys are fed be-
tween the hours of IL m. and 2 p. m.
For luncheon purposes the clerks are
divided into sections, and each section Is
allowed certain amount of time. A
liberal bill of fare is provided, and the
men are not restricted in the extent of
their orders, so long as they keep their
gastrOnomic desires within reasonable
bounds. The heads of the departments
have separate tables. No person, unless
he or she is an emplOye of the company,
is allowed to eat in this restaurant No
body is permitted to invite even friend
from out of town to take luncheon with
him. The head of prosperous private
banking house in Broad Street says that
for several years he has followed the
practice of keeping his clerks within
office limits during business hours, and
he believes that it pays well. He feeds
them all at noon at his own expense,
and is by no means niggardly. The
number of his employees is steadily in
creasing, consequently this item of ex-
pense is constantly growing larger. His
firm paid out about $4,000 for employees
luncheons last year.-New York Times.

TO SECURE SUMMER BoARDERS.

Vermont has made gratifying progress
in her efforts to secure summer visitors,
and there are encouraging indications
that our State will receive a largely in
creased share of attention from the trav-
cling public the approaching season.
1t should not be forgotten, however, that
we are by no means alone in the field,
but that as matter of fact there is
strong competition for patronage from
summer tourists.
New Hampshire had already secured a
considerable revenue from this source
when the Green Mountain State entered
the field, and since that time the good
people of the Granite State seem to have
redOubled their efforts in this direction.
Some idea of what Vermont has to con-
tend against in the way of calling atten-
ton to her varied and numerous attrac-
tionS, is afforded by statement made
by the Manchester Union in relation to
the steps which are being taken to adver-
tise the Granite State.
The Union, in speaking of the prepare
ton of publication entitled "Gems of
the Granite State" by the board of agri-
culture, agues for the appropriation of a
sufficient sum by the Legislature to pro-
vide for the printing and distribution of
ut is not matter in which the board
of agriculture is interested beyond such
interest as its members may take as citi-
liens. The work has been done under
it's auspices in accordance with the law,
and the funds at its disposal have been
so husbanded that small edition is pos
sible without an appropriation. But the
book is plainly an excellent advertise
ment of New Hampshire's summer
boarding interests, and $1,000 copies can
easily be disposed of to advantage. Sec
rotary Batchelder has a list of 10000
names of former visitors to New Hamp-
shire, one person to family. This
would mean $4,000 copies on as many
drawing room tables in every part of the
United States. The remaining 5000
would not meet the demands from other
interested parties. 1t is a matter worthy
of the careful consideration of the Leg
islature, even in the hurry of the closing
days of the session."
VermOnt's board of agriculture has,
like that of our neighboring State, done
quite little toward the work of adver-
Using this States attractions for summer
visitors with money husbanded from the
sum appropriated for its regular work by
the Legislature, and the State has al
ready realized marked benefit from this
service as well as from the efforts made
by the railroads in the same direction;
but it will manifestly not be good policy
for our State to rely upon what has al
ready been done in this necessarily lin
tied manner. Like the merchant who
has to compete with an energetic and
progressive rival, we must keep on adver-
Using or be outstripDed in the struggle
to secure purchasers for our wares.

A MAPLE SUGAR CENTRE.

Ever since the Indians in Vermont dis
covered honey in the maple trees, re-
marks the Free Press, the part of this
state known as Fletcher became the head
centre for the maple sweet. The way
the red man extracted the delicious COM
pound was somewhat slow as compared
with the present process. He used to
cut s'anting cash in the bark and in
sert in the lower end a gauge shaped
piece of wood, from which the sap ran
and dropped into poplar or Eastwood
trough. At the end of the season these
troughs would be set up against the
trees and left until the following season,
by which time the troughs would be
thoroughly widowed. This materially
added to the flavor of the aboriginal
sugar, but can hardly be said to have i'm
proved it. The evaporator of those
times consisted uf au iron kettle swung
from a saplng bent over stump. BY a
slow and tedious process the sap was
first heated and then boiled in this kettle
often taking two or three days boiling
before it could be sugared off. This was
the way in which the redskins and the
early Vermonters eked out ''sWeetnin"
to their tea and johnny cake, white sugar
being too much of luxury for ordinary
people. But the perfected evaporator
and world ide market of to-day have
almost reversed the conditions so that
now the farmers maple sugar comes
very near being his luxury, the best
grades often bringing more than twice
the price of granulated sugar.
In the best Fletcher groves of to-day a
long pipe or trough line runs from some
central spot in the grove down to the big
storage tanks in the sugar house. Here
the perfected evaporation, when under
full Roadway, will convert the first sap
into syrup in half an hour, consuming
about one cord of wood to produce
hundred pounds Of sugar, There are in
the town of Fletcher, at a moderate esti-
mate 10000 trees, this being probably
within the real number. Following are
the names of some of the principal sugar
producers in the township, together with
the number of trees in each orchard:
Frederick Smith 1900, Andrew Lamb
1900, Nelson Church 1900, Ebert Wealth
erby 1000, Seth Carpenter, 1000. G. X.

1900, Oliver Carpenter 1900, Albert Par
sons lOO, Byron Weatherby HOO, Herbert
Holmes 1900, Noel Blair 1900, David
Gillian 1900
The ST. Adams Messenger says: The
collector of internal revenue for this
district, Hon. James E. French has Just
issued some additional instructions con
corning the weighing of maple sugar,
which are of much importance to IL
censed producers. He rules that in
weighing sugar this season the weighers
will proceed the same as last year. Con-
corning the size and character of pack.
ages he says: 'If several small pack
ages are put together, or punched into
one, making package that can be read
lily weighed and marked, the small pack
ages being of the same grade Of sugar,
the entire number will be treated as one
package weighed as one package, labeled
as one, and returns made to me accord
ingly."
