New buildings and improvements.

A number of new dwellings are being
constructed and old buildings repaired.
Both of these departures we are pleased to
note, as it signifies progress, which must
necessarily be slow in a village situated as
Bellows Falls is, bounded on one side by a
lofty mountain, on the other by hill of
almost sufficient size to be called a noun
tain, and hemmed around by river.
Among the new dwellings which have come
under our personal observation are: S. S.
Coolidge's and Mrs. Helen Jackson's on
Cherry street; Clark Chases on Chase
court; Samuel Flemings on Rockingham
street, south of Pages dye house; cellar
is also being dug for another cottage for
Mr.. Fleming; the priests house, also on
Cherry street. The latter is to be an eX-
cellent building; the walls are brick, being
built around a wooden frame. There are
to be two extra large windows, one the So
called horseshoe window, being in the
shape of the article after which it is named.
Its diameter is 81 feet. There are but few
in this vicinity, two in the library at Yer
mont Academy, and one also in the library
in Chester. The other large window is six
feet square. Both windows are to have
panes of plate glass. The building will
not be ready for occupation for some time
yet, but the work is being excellently done.

There was a shock in newspaper circles
yesterday afternoon when an Associated
Press despatch was sent out from Taunton,
Mass, saying that Miss Lizzie Borden was
in Taunton Jail, having voluntarily sur
rendered herself to Sheriff Wright. The
story proved to be a fire-class fake. Miss
Borden merely came to the Jail to make a
visit on the wife of the jailer who treated
her so kindly during her long imprison-

Obituary---Mrs. Abigail Il. Moore OF
Rrnokside. NeNYfnne.

Mrs. Abigail Knowlton Moore, who has been a
patient sufferer for many months died at her
home at an early hour Saturday morning and was
buried Sunday afternoon,
Mrs. Moore was born in Rowe Mass April -
1905 and came TO this town to live at the age of
%, where she has since resided. She pos
sessed of a bright intellect, which, with her
sweet disposition and rare good Judgment, won
for her wide circle of friends by whom she was
familiarly known as Aunt Abigail"
Her immediate family were greatly endeared to
her, and the loss falls heavily upon them. Seven
children-fve daughter and two sons-with 10
grandchildren survive her.
We softly parted the silver hair
From Off her aged brow;
That crown of glory worn so long
A fitting crown is now.
We gently folded the weary hands
That tOiled so long and well;
And while our tears of sorrow fall
Let sweet Thanksgiving swell.
Her life.work, stretching DER long years,
A varied web has BEEN
With silver strands by sorrow wrought,
And sunny CLEANS between,
Each silver hair each wrinkle there,
Records some good deed done,
Some flower she cast along the way
Some spark from loves bright sun.
How bright she always made her home!
IL seemed as if the floor
Was always hecked with spots of sum-
And barred with brightness Ger
The very falling of her step
Made music as she went:
A loving song was on her lip,
The song of full content,
And now lin later years, her word
Has been a blessed thing
In her dear home where glad she saw
Her children's children spring
Her;widowed life has cheerful been,
brightness born of heaven.
So pearl and gold i'm drapery fold
Her sunset couch at even.
She's safe within her Father house
Where many mansions be;
Let's pray that thus such rest may come,
Dear friends, to you and me.

Sleeping on Their Arms.


What a wonderful spectacle it is that
Europe now presents! Her population
claims a sort of monopoly in civilization,
yet outside of England every nation has
reached the limit of its endurance in pre-
pairing for war which nevertheless does
not arrive. The surplus energy and mon
ey of the whole continent is devoted to
keeping up security which is nowhere
felt to be quite sufficient, yet is nowhere
overly threatened - which, indeed, is
guaranteed by profuse professions of
peaceable intentions.

France TO blockade slamese Ports.

France has given notice of its intention
to blockade Samese ports. The general
expectation is that early in August the
French fleet will attack Bangkok, and land
some 5000 men. There is little doubt that
frances purpose is to make Siam a French
colony, The Siamese government is eX-
ceedingly anxious to avoid open warfare.

Handling Crime.

Most people in this country claim it
is the most enlightened in the world.
and it may be; but it does not make use
of this enlightenment in the handling
of the great social problem of criminali-
ty This vital complaint of the body
polite is treated with far more thought
towards prevention and cure in Eng
land and France as read, and in Nor
way to my certain knowledge. Though
their methods are proven beneficial we
with all our enlightenment do not seem
to desire to benefit by the experience of
others.
In Norway, in all incorporated COM
munities there is board elected called
the Reconciliatory Commission, whose
duties are to attend to second degree"
offenses. They call before them accuser
and accused for the purpose of recon
Cling differences, or of adjusting dam
ages if any have been sustained adjust
able by money. If the aggrievor is
wealthy he pays to the aggrieved what
ever is agreed on before the commission
with court exLe LenSes added. If the man
is poor he is bound over on his own
recognizance after signing an agree
W pdy Ill WlCL1Il
stipulated time, which is adjusted to
his earning capacity. If at the end of
that time he has not lived up to his
agreement he is imprisoned. unless cir
cumstanceS are proved to be fully eX-
tenuating, in which case he is given an
extention. Statistics show that very
asked for. This covers all minor charges
Of "
simple means the rough hand of the
law is removed from the poor mans
collar and he is given ample opportuni-
ty to demonstrate if criminality or ac-
cident or necessity were the motives of
his offense. Look at our miserable
method. A ragged shivering man steals
a coat to avoid perishing in our terrible
winter. Ninety days at the work house
is his least dose. In Norway he would
have been allowed the coat and given
the ninety days outside to work it out
and save himself from prison.
In Chicago the other day young man
stole two watches; it was his first Of
fense, his conscience ScOrched him; he
returned the watches almost immedi-
ately, but was brought before blind
justice who gave him one year in the
penitentiary, making a criminal of one
who abhorred his crime the moment it
was committed. In Norway he would
have had an admOnitiOn and court eX-
penses to pay.
Our system defrauds the man offend
ed against; it denies to heart sore
conscience sick first offender any chance
of redemptiOn; it places burden on
the state; and in many cases rObs the
innocent family of all means OF sup
port. &.

THE CREATION.

By Gods almighty word at first
The heavenly arch was rear'd.
And all the beauteOuS hosts of light
At His command appear'd.
The swelling floods, together rolled,
He makes in heaps to lie;
And lays, as in StOrehOuSe safe.
The wat'ry treasures by.
Let Earth and all that dwell therein
Before Him trembling stand;
For, when He spake the word. It was made,
II was fixed at his command.
He, when the heather closely plot,
Their counsel undermineS;
His wisdom Intellectual makes
The peoples rash designs.
What e'er the mighty Lord DEGREES,
Shall stand for ever sure;
The settled purpose of His heart
To ages shall endure.

Now earth made man to gas is oft resolved;
When so inflated, he inclineS to bawl
His loud decryalS of our beauteOuS ball.
At such time he lardS his loud discourse
With words, not drawing it to fine, quite coarse,
OF course the course of his harangue is plain
To those whose thoughts would reach higher
plane:
He will explain, in loud agnostic vein,
Mans faith in God to be belief in vain.

All theories with regard to the crea-
tion are merely suppositions. Man
ought to be satisfied with his inheri-
tance from our first parents. Having
eaten of the forbidden fruit, he be-
came as God, able to know the differ
ence between good and evil. Why
should we want to pry into the mys-
teries of the hereafter. But if theory
you must have, must confess to the
belief that by the birth of the earth and
other planets nothing material was ad
'ded to the universe; and that at their
dissolution nothing will be destroyed.
Matter is ever present, and will be eter-
nal, to be used for what ever purpose
required by that God whose creative
power is beyond the comprehension of

very good maxim it iS) in writing upon
the subject, Your Idea of the Creation,
I predict that you will have very short
articles. The creation, the building of
the universe, was an achievement so
vast, so great, and so perfect, that it ap-
pears to me impossible for the human
intellect to form any idea Of how it
could be done. There are men who
claim to have solved the chow but
they do not agree on 'who." Yet 1
cannot believe in their calculations till
1 can see man who can tell me how a
mosquito is built, and why, and prove
his theory. Then may 1 believe that
the mind of man is all-capable.

From what [ have seen of several
parts of the world, am led to believe
that the creation was preceded by viO-
lent volcanic eruptions which heaved
up mountain crests, and as we are told,
depressed ocean beds to equally vast
depths. From this l must conclude
that the chaos of the beginning was of
an extremely hot and fiery kind. There
are indications that water was present
everywhere at some time or other. The
water would create steam, so can un-
derstand why scientists say that the
vegetation of the coal beds was pro-
duced in a dim. hot stes.my atmosphere.

AGAIN IN JAIL.
John Grimths' Checked Career
Is He Insane ?

Is He Insane
John Griffiths of Fresno is again
behind the bars of the City Prison
on the old charge of trying to pass
forged checks. Grifiths is young
man, but has had about as check
cred a career as can we'll be ina
gined. He comes from good
family and is a typical black
sheep. There is hardly Jail in
the San Joaquin Valley that he
has not been in, and every asylum
for the insane in the State knows
him.
Grifiths began his career of
check-working eight years ago,
varying the monotony of passing
spurious paper by occasionally
stealing one of his brothers
horses. He was arrested time and
again, and his family helped him
out of trouble, and then he was de-
clared insane and sent to the asy-
lum at Stockton.
He was discharged as cured
from the asylum and in a week or
two was back at his old tricks.
Then his family shipped him on
board whaler and he swan
ashore at Honolulu and told the
American Consul there the story
of being the leader of the Poso
train-robbers, which created at the
time much excitement on this
coast He was returned to San
Francisco and sent to Agnews
asylum, from which institution he
was released a few weeks ago.
His latest forgery, for which he
is now in custody, is that of sign
ing the firm name of Kutner,
Goldstein & Co. of Fresno to
checks that he was trying to cash
when arrested. 1t is thought the
young man is insane, but since
asylum after asylum declares to
the contrary the authorities may
push this last case against him.
