Gov. Fuller has been interviewed
by a Rutland Herald reporter and
thus expresses himself regarding the
present financial panic:-
Vermont is fortunately situated
at this time, and we do not feel the
effect of the panic as they do in other
places. AS for the panic in the ma
ton, | can see signs of improvement
in all parts of the country. We have
had no disaster from floods or other
natural causes, no famine and there
is as much money in the country
now as there was before this crisis
came upon us. The cause of the
present trouble is an unnatural one.
There is some trouble, and as soon
as that trouble can be allayed times
will speedily brighten up again. This
present session of Congress has an
opportunity to do a great deal
towards allaying the trouble, but
whether Congress will bring us relief
or not remains to be seen. !"

sioners whose pensions have been
suspended may make proof of their
right to receive them, in the follow

In cases of pensioners suspended
for lack of proof showing a pension
able degree of disability under the

that the period within which the

dence or apply to this bureau for ex-
animation by a medical hoard be
extended to October 10, 1898, and
that no pensions be dropped for lack
of evidence before that date"

The fire at Minneapolis Sunday
afternoon, which destroyed $4,000
600 of property and deprived 1900
people of their homes, was fortu-
nate affair in the single respect that
not one life was lost. This fact
speaks volumes for the efficiency of
the fire department and the good
Judgment under which it was man
aged. But the confagration itself
was one of the most destructive of
the season, and will make a big

For two weeks the country must
wait before a vote can be taken on
the repeal of the Sherman bill. This
time is taken so that Congressman
who wish to vent their eloquence
may have chance to do so. During
this time it is quite certain that there
will be many empty seats in the
House, as majority of the mem
bers have decided how they will vote
on the question, and that is to repeal
the bill. The public has already set
tied that and their representatives
will simply ratify their desire. No
votes will be changed by these

The police regulations III England are
very different from those common in
this country. The policeman there is
not nearly SO autocrauc as he is here
and would never think of using n club
or striking man, except in self defense.

mild sway:

my office and created u disturbance. |

said to him:
This man does not belong here and
refuses to leave my Office. Will you
please take him out?"
lexpected the sergeant to tell the man
he must go, and then if he did not move
on expected to see the officer remove
him by force. Not at all. The sergeant
said, you had better leave here, sir, "
and his tone was as respectful and civil
as though he was asking a favor.
The man manifested no intention Of
leaving, and the police officer began an
inquiry as to his reasons for wanting to
stay. This so exasperated me that put
the man out myself, greatly to the
astonishment and apprehension of the
officer.
He explained to Inc that | had no right
to interfere in the matter had brought
to his attention, and that doubtless the
intruder would get out a warrant against
me and have me arrested for assault.

In little out Of the way alley not far
from Stuyvesant square there is a small,
dingy barroom. 1t is the favorite drink
ing place of dozen or more old men,
who are cronies and have met and played
chess there for many years. The aged
proprietor of the place has filled the
room with curiosities-strange stuffed
birds, autographs of old New Workers,
theater tickets of a quarter of century
ago, few old fashioned collars, etc.

Hanging from the ceiling directly
over the bar is bamboo birdcage. The

A distinguished general in command
of one Of the military districts of the
United Kingdom gave instructions to
an officer serving under him, who had
special qualifications for the work, to
prepare a scheme of defense for one of
the most important ports under his COM
mand. This officer, whose zeal was
above suspicion, prepared a very elab-
crate report, entering into the most
minute details, which he forwarded ac-
cording to his orders. He heard nothing
further about it for several months, until
at length it was returned, when he
eagerly looked to see what remarks the
general had made upon his work. To
his disgust he found nothing until he
arrived at the last page of the report,
where was written, "You should have

Colonel Rogers, who published the Bos-
ton Journal before the war. He was
terribly conservative, and his paper was
delivered almost entirely to annual sub
scribers, although few copies were on
sale at the book stores One day when
the colonel came down town he was hor-
rifed to see a boy with some Journals
under his arm shouting out, journal,
cents; Journal" Dazed for a minute,
he called the boy into a doorway and
asked, "How many Journals have you
there?' Told, he took out his purse and
paid for them all, and ordered the boy
to run home and never to buy any Jour
mails again. He was so scandalized by
the occurrence that he said he felt al
most ashamed to meet his business ac-
quaintances for weeks. Times changed
when the war broke out, and the Jour.
nal went on the street like other papers

At a certain school, the yard to

passes between the middle post and
one of those next it will fail in her
lessons that day, and a girl who has
unthinkingly done so will turn back
and enter a second time, going care
fully between an outer post and the
endof the fence. This superstition is
handed from class to class and bids
fair to flourish for many years as
part of the information acquired at
the school.
