THE HOUSTON CURE co.

Parties interested III the formation
of the St. Johnsbury Huston Cure
Company met at DR.. Aldrich's Office
last night and organized a company
to cure the liquor, opium and NOR
phine habit by the Ezekiel Houston
formula. The company organized
by electing these directors, L. D.
Hazen, H. w. Allen, A. c. Randall,
A. B. Noyes, w. P. Stafford, c. T..
Walter Arthur F. Stone, all Of St.
Johnsbury, w. B. Howe, E. w. J..
Hawkins, F. E. Burgess and c. W.
Brownell of Burlington. The COM
pany start in with a paid-up capital
of $50, 900, all Of which is taken in
st. Johnsbury and Burlington.
A committee of the last Massachu-
setts legislature investigated the in
stitutes in that state which were
claiming to cure the liquor, opium
and morphine habits. After a
thorough investigation of every
place where this habit was being
treated the committee passed a
resolution that in their opinion the
institutes using the Ezekiel Houston
Formula had the best record both in
the permanence of the cure and in
the effect on the patients cured.

archives of China, and DR.. Masters
believes that Fusong is the country
of Mexico, and gave many strong
reasons to prove his theory. He
also claimed that the Indians Of the
Pacific slope closely resembled the
Chinese and japanese and that it
was not at all improbable that these
Indians had Monaghan blood in
their veins. Chinese coins hundreds
of years old have recently been
found in British Columbia and
Mexico has many strange relics
similar to those in the Buddhist
countries.
DR.. Masters is working on a very
original line and deserves success
even if Columbus is deprived of his
laurels. He will be at Worlds Fair
this summer as the delegate from the
California Geographical Society.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

Rev. DR.. F. ]. Masters of San
Francisco, Cal, lectured in Athe-
naum Hall last Friday evening upon
the interesting theme did a China
man Discover America ?" DR..
Masters is a fluent and interesting
talker and the audience though
small thoroughly enjoyed his ad-
dress. He presented an array Of
facts which left no doubt in his
mind, at least, that the Mongolians
visited the Pacific slope hundreds of
years before Columbus or the
Vikings landed on the Eastern coast.
The ancient civilizations Of Peru and
Mexico were traced by the speaker
to the visits OF the Orientals to their
shores. Chinese and Japanese ships
caught in the storms off the coasts
of their own countries would
naturally be drifted to America by
the powerful influence of the Jap
anese current that flows at the rate
of 100 miles a day. This ocear
current might carry the ships tc
Mexico and it was this part o
America that DR.. Masters believe,
the Chinese discovered. About 1905
years before Columbus discovered
America five Buddhist priests start
ed on a missionary voyage and afte
a time one of them returned t.
China. The priest, Hweisum, wrot
description of the trip and tn
country they visited, calling the new
land Fusong His story is given il

STRANGE BILLS.

William Daniels, fireman on the
Lake road, recently had a strange
experience which may lead to i'm
portant results. Where the Lake
road and Central Vermont cross each
other at Swanton he found one
night what appeared to be wad of
paper. He began tearing it to pieces
as he walked along when he discov-
cred that he was destroying paper
money. All that was left was a one
dollar bill which he deposited in the
Merchants bank at St. Johnsburv.
This bill was taken to Swanton and
examined under magnifying glass.
1t looked as if it was smeared with
blood. The Swanton Courier has
advanced the theory that it was
thrown by the side of the track by
the murderer of the Edys at Clar-
encevile, and that this lucky find
will become clue in finding the
murderer. Mr.. Daniels tore up sew
eral Canada bills before recognized
that he was destroying greenbacks.

AN INSURANCE PRIZE

John H. Drew of Hardwick, for
merly of st. Johnsbury, has recently
received $50 for writing the most
insurance in one month of any agent
of the Mutual Life of New York in
Vermont and New Hampshire.
Three prizes were offered by Cheney
& Cheney Of Manchester,N. H. ,gener-
al agents for Vermont and New
Hampshire, for agents writing the
mostinsurance in this territory with
in month. Mr.. Drew received
word Thursday that he had been
awarded the first prize, payable in
gold. This announcement was a
pleasing surprise to Mr.. Drew as he
had no idea that he was doing any
more business than any of the other
hustling agents of this company.
Mr.. Drew is to be congratulated, for
such success in these days of compe-
tition among the agents is not at
tanned without hard and faithful
work.

Petition For New Trustee of the Els.
tate of ?. b. Pendergast.

tate of 2. b. Pendergast.
A petition wa5 filed in the superior
court yesterday, by Margaret A. Vcrdier,
Martha p. Verdier and others, asking the
appointment of new trustee by tine
court for the trust estate of p b. PEN
dergast. f. H. Verdier, the husband of
Mrs Margaret A.. Nerdier, who was APP
pointed trustee by the court in the place
of G. s.. Gray, died on Jan. p, 1892, and
the estate has since been without
trustee.
The petitioners asked that Mr.. Jno.
G. Rowland be appointed trustee of the
estate, and also that he be granted power
to sell certain property belonging to the
estate, namely, one $500 and two 81 900
city bonds, for the maintenance and sup
port of Mrs. Verdier, and the education of
her children.
Judge Falligant considered the petition
and granted an order appointing MIR
Rowland trustee as asked, and gave leave
to sell the property mentioned in the pc
tition.
Messrs. Seabrookl Morgan & Way also
gave notice, in writing, that they would
dismiss the bill of w. F.. Rendant and
others VS.. p. II. VOTERS Brewing Com
pany, which was put into the hands of
receiver last Saturday 1t seems that
matters have been satisfactorily arranged
without continuance of the receiver
ship, as was stated by Mr., Morgan on
Sunday, and they have decided to dismiss
the bill The bill, however, has not vet
been legally dismissed. 1t is still on the
dockets of the court, and can not be dis
missed until an order has been taken
from the Judge. Until that is done the
receiver will still have control.

'My goodness gracious me, Miss Floy;

shut your eyes this minute I'll call in

loft to come and eat you up alive !" Here
Miss Nipper made horrible lowing, sup
posed to issue from conscientious goblin
of the bull species.
Many of our public speakers and
writer's, like the estimable Susan, keep a
stock of hobgoblin in the cock loft, and
appeal to them with dismal groans or APP
pealing bellowings to terrify childlike
public. A few of these COLLINS are as fol-
lows:
The Observation-Disclosures to be
hideous, one-eyed ogre, living in an en-
chanted castle, round which lie the skulls
and bones of his victims. He rushes out
upon unsuspecting passers by, drags them
into his den and devours them.
The Mortgagee. gigantic and bloated
spider, whose web extends everywhere,
but chiefly over the agricultural dis
tricts.
Banks and ers.-Organized gangs
of capitalists and mortgages who grow
rich by impoYerishing the rest of their
fellow citizens; by some diabolical de-
vice or enchantment not understood they
can draw men against their will into
their dens, make them sign notes, give
mortgages ana Ounef securities, ana tnen
destroy their victims
The Ground Rent Owner.-A peculiarly
malignant form Of capitalist, who differs
from the ordinary money lender in hav-
ing no money to lend, having already
lent it at low rates on the security of
land. This nefarious practice is called
docking it up"
The Gold Bug An enemy of the human
race who pretends to believe that single
standard Of currency is more stable and
better than double one. If he owned
gold mines his object would be open and
honorable: but rs he does not, his real pur-
pose must be to destroy the'prosperity of
the country.
John Buli.-A virulent pirate and mis-
anthrope who enriches himself by deal
ings with the rest OF the world and is
constantly seheming to impoyerish and
ruin his customers.

supposed 10 be a cross between the tiger
and horse leech, and altogether distinct
from the debtor class, who are their nat
ural prey.

An Indictment judge.

From the OTTAWA (Canada) Journal.
Judge Falconbridge is one who does
not conceal his disgust at the action of
the people who go to law over trifles.
While the case of Lackie VS.. Lonnt was
being tried at London (Ontario) assizes
the defendant gave evidence, and the judge
remarked: Suppose this old lady, who
is 80 years of age. was asking what you
considered little too much. don't you
think it would have been just as we'll to
have given it TO herr 1t was only the use
of a couple of acres of land at best for a
short time" To this the defendant did
not vouchsafe any intelligent reply. A
little further on in his evidence it was
shown that settlement had not been
made because he would not agree to what
would practically amount to about 81 25
per annum. On this comrning out his
lordship said very emphatically: "Then
il appears that this suit has been brought
in the high court Of justice over a dispute
which amounts to about Sl.2 per year
the cost OF which will be at least 500 TO
each side. IL is shameful Shameful
