MINOR NOTES.

Gov. Fuller has appointed D. X. ST.
monds, editor of the Manchester journal,
as examiner of teachers for Bennington
county, vice A. c. Ferrin, resigned.
The gates will not be ajar at the World 5
Fair on future Sundays. The reason is
that Sunday openings had not proved a
success. The Sabbatarians have gained a
victory in an entirely unexpected way.
Attorney General Olney, like Secretary
Carlisle, believes that Democratic admin
istration should be run by Democrats. He
has given evidence of this lately by remov-
ing a number of his Republican assistants.
The man who owns a newspaper, the
man who writes for newspapers, and the
man who reads newspapers, will each alike
find the newspaper discussed from his
point of view in the August number of
the Forum by leading writer's.
Confidence be gollywashed." !" says Sen
ator Jones of Nevada. "What the people
want is money, money, money. That's
what they want, and its what want, and
silver is just as good money as any other.
Jones is a representative silverite.
The Boston Record is authority for the
statement that George d. Robinson and
NJ. O. Adams received $4,000 each for
their work in the Borden trial, Miss Bor-
den insisting that each ought to be paid the
same amount.

A matter which the national authorities
should thoroughly investigate is the recent
transfer to our country, from Russia and
other parts of Eastern Europe, of hundreds
of destitute immigrants, and the maltreat-
ment on the voyage of these same passen-
gers. The steamer which brought them,
Red Sea, is a British vessel, known as
"tramp steamer" and, unlike the regular
steamer lines it had no reputation to main
tain by regard to immigration laws and
took the passengers as it took freight, and
without concern as to whether they were
paupers or were in physical condition to
be acceptable additions to the population
of the United States A fair and humane
enforcement of the immigration law, and
the return of immigrants of the prohibited
class should be insisted upon; and it is
clearly due to the regular steamship lines
which comply with the law that no tramp
steamer traffic in undesirable foreigners
be permitted.

Grave charges are made by the president
and the manager of the Hercules Iron
Work, whose building was burned at Chi
cago last week with the loss of a number
of lives. They claim that there was no ex-
cuse for the loss of single life, that the
fremen were warned that there was fire be-
low before they went into the tower and
were asked to put their streams in below.
To this warning and advice Marshal Murphy
and Captain Fitzpatrick paid no heed, but
urged their men aloft. If these charges
can be proven, as is claimed, Murphy and
Fitzpatrick, instead of the praise they
have been receiving for heroism and devo-
tion to duty, must bear sharp criticism and
reproach for causing a needless sacrifice of
human life. The coroner's jury Tuesday
evening reached a verdict, and holds d. H.
Burnham, director of works at the Worlds
Fair, Fire Marshal Edward Murphy of the
Worlds Fair fire department, j. b. Skin
ner president of the Hercules Iron COM
pany. and Charles A. Mcdonald, secretary
and treasurer of the Hercules Iron COM
pany, for appearance before the grand jury
for criminal negligence

promotions in the interior department are
hereafter to be made on the recommends
tions of chiefs OF divisions, approved by
the chiefs of the respective bureaus, ex-
cept when HoSe Smith shall choose to in
terfere in behalf of some other Democrat
whom he desires to reward. As the chiefs
of divisions as well as of bureaus are Dem
ocrats, the chances for the promotion of
Republican clerks are very dubious. In
fluence and favoritism will take the place
of merit.

CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN IN BRAT
TLEBORO.
Edward Cunningham, Charged With
Murder, Attempts TO Prove an AIibi.

Murder, Attempts to Prove an Alibi.
William Baxter of Holden, Mass, was
found murdered in pasture on the Handy
farm between Worcester and Holden Sun
day. He was last seen alive July and it
is supposed that the deed was committed
some time between the Sth and 10th. The
skull was fractured in two places. The
body was badly decomposed. An axe and
hatchet were found near by.
Baxter had lived on the Handy farm for
two years and kept notorious road house.
Robbery seems to have been the motive of
the crime, as the dead mans pockets were
turned inside out and gold watch, which
he was known to possess, cannot be found,
Edward Cunningham, a tramp mill hand,
has been arrested, charged with the MUIR
der. An old man named Connor, who
lives in the house nearest BaXter's, says he
saw Baxter and Cunningham together July
8, and that he drank cider with them at
BaXter's house. The two men went away
together with axes to cut bean poles. Gun
ningham's story, to the effect that he was
in AshuelOt July and Hinsdale July 5,
the day that Baxter was last seen alive, is
corroborated by companion. He and his
companion, Edward Dormey, spinner, say
they went from there to Brattleboro, Rut-
land, Fitchburg, LeOminster, Clinton and
Oakdale, arriving back in Holden last
Thursday, July Is. State Detective Muir
ray of Worcester has been in this section
to investigate the story of the alibi.

duced in the United States in 1892, Colo
RADIO contributed 24,0OO,OOO ounces, Mon.
tana 17,500,000 ounces, Idaho 5000, 600

ounces, says Matthew Marshall, the we'll
known financial authority. The aggregate
population of those states and territories,
according to the last census, is Ss3, ,40S.
This little handful of people, to uphold the
price of their product, demand legislation
the inevitable result of which will be to
abolish the gold standard and substitute
silver in its place. They have conspired
for the purpose with the spectators and
landowners of the West and Southwest
and threaten a resort to war. Their sue
cess would reduce to half their present
value the wages of 10000 700 laboring
men, the deposits of 100000 savings
bank depositors, and the life insurance of
1,250,000 policy holders, as well as the in
vestments of unnumbered owners of rail-
road and municipal bonds, of shares in
moneyed corporations and creditors gener-
ally. That scheme so monstrous should
have even chance of accomplishment is
impossible, and the sooner it is knocked
on the head the better.

Eighteen hundred and ninety-three will
mark another red letter date in the history
of the higher education of women, no fewer
than ten of whom have passed the exami-
nation for the mathematical tripos at the
English University of Cambridge. Two
are wranglers, and all the others hold rank
with the senior optimes. These successes
have served to attract public attention once
more to the refusal of the British univer-

The passage of the Army bin means that
Germany is to be more military nation
than ever 1t means that the young ruler
of the greatest European military power
proposes to have at his command an army
that will surpass in numbers, in equipment
and in discipline any that can be brought
against him. The bill provides for such
an increase of the army that, in case of
war, Germany would be able to place a
force of 100000 trained soldiers in the
field. France, in the event of war, could
summon an army of 3,75O,OOO, and Russia
force of 100000 men.

An objection to Hon. E. j. Phelpss APP
pointment to the supreme bench is raised
on the ground that he is over 20 years of
age, and could at once resign and retire on
a salary. Mr.. Phelps, however, is still
man of great energy, and will doubtless be
good for many years of active work. Mr..
Phelps has had an exceptional career in
that he has added so much to his reputa-
ton after his Goth year.

The fastest train in the world is the ex-
press which makes the run from New York
to Chicago in 20 hours. The editor of the
Railroad Gazette says that he will mot
be at all surprised to see the run between
New York and Chicago made regularly in
Is hours within the next two years" He
proceeds to show that in order to reduce
the time to 10 hours it will only be neces-
sary to maintain west of Buffalo the same
speed that is maintained between Buffalo
and New York. That speed, including
stops, is 500 miles an hour.

VALUE OF CORN COBS.

On q recent visit TO the vel
kept Experiment Farm operated
by the State as q part of the great
University Of this place, the Advo
cate was interested, among othel
matters Of interest there, in thu
statements Of Prof. Barrow, the
genial assistant director, regard.
ing the value Of chrushed corn as $
feed for stock. Prof. Barrow
stated that the value Of the corn
for feeding purposes was much
e enhanced by being crushed before
being fed to the stock. as it
is thus rendered more easy Of di.
gestion, and larger percentage is
thus utilized.
Prof. Barrow also stated that
the cob, though not generally SO
considered, contains as much nu.
triton as many kinds of hay and
fodder, and that . saving of fully
fifteen per cent. is effected by
feeding the corn and cob chrushed
together. This fact is now gener-
ally recognized BY the farmers Of
East Baton Rouge, and . number
of our best farmers have their own
crushers and are availing them
selves Of this large saving.
In many sections Of the State,
however, the old practice Of feed
ing the corn and using the cob for
stove wood Is still kept up, and this
great waste in feed is allowed to
continue without let or hindrance.
The introduction Of cheap crushers
among the farmers Of the State
would be followed by the best re-
suits, and besides the saving above
referred to, it would visibly i'm
prove the stock throughout the
State by allowing them that much
more feed. Don't waste the corn

OF INTEREST TO ALL RICE

give information interesting, edlfy-
ing, and encouraging. They claim
that the present crop was badly
marketed. by undue haste on the
part Of comparative minority, the
pace was set. and the big majority
had to fall in with the situation.
The supply was not equal to the
demand of the United States and
never has been, therefore, We have
claimed in our public uttcrances
through newspapers and by private
correspondence with planters, that
Domestic rice was worth Mt least as
much as Foreign. Prices, however.
are down and buyers so accustom-
ed to ruling rates past six months
that it is doubtful whether any ma
terial advance will he secured this

hopes and expectations are basel
