A noteworthy incident of the funeral of
Mrs. Chauncey NJ. Depew was the pres
ence at the services of Archbishop Corri-
gan, who has long been the intimate per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Depew, and on many
political and public questions they have
been in accord. 1t is the first time that
the archbishop has been in Protestant
church when any religious Office was being
conducted there.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1893.

The expert examination of the books
and accounts of the Reading railroad com
pany reveals the interesting fact that the
company suffered an actual money loss of
81, 100000 by the purchase of the control
of the Boston and Maine and the New
York and New England roads.

Vermont Failures.


Two Investment Concerns Embarrassed.
The Vermont Investment and Guaran-
tee company and the firm of Hammond,
Bush q Co., both of Orwell, have been
compelled by the stringency of the money
market to go into liquidation. The dis
trust occasioned by the recent failures in
the West has rendered unavailable large
amount of western security held by them
for raising funds needed to meet maturing
paper.

Murderers Murdered?
Both Of the Sing Sing Prisoners Were
Shot.

Shot.
The body of Thomas Pallister, the sec
ond condemned murderer who escaped
from the Sing Sing, N. Y, prison, was
found in the Hudson river near that place
Tuesday. Under one eye was bullet
hole. There was bullet hole in the head
of RhOle, who escaped with Pallister, and
whose body was found in the river last week.
Rhole's head had also been crushed by
blow. In Pallster's pocket was revolv-
er taken from the Sing Sing guard and
none of the chambers were discharged.
How the two murderers met their death is
a great mystery. 1t was at first thought
that they killed each other, but this does
not seem probable. The theory is advanc-
ed that the two escaped murderers were
murdered by persons Outside-possibly by
their own confederates, who hoped to OBJ
tain the money which was supposed to
have been given to Rhole by his brother.

How much do you have to spend to see
the fair after gaining admittance? Moth
ing. Fifty cents admits to every part of
the exposition. On the Midway Plaisance,
outside the main grounds, there are numer-
GUS ''side shows" whose proprietors have
paid large sums to bring their attractions
there. These are not exhibits in any sense,
and few people will care to spend much
time with them. The usual admission
price to these is p or so cents.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1893-05-19

Are the prices extortionate? Not on the
grounds. II is understood that the hotel
keepers and others outside are in the busi-
ness for all the dollars they can get. The
prices for meals on the ground are reason
able, considering that the caterers pay
large sum for the concessions. Those who
60 TO the fair with well-planned arrange
ments have nothing 10 fear.

When will the fair be entirely complete?
Probably not before July /. But any time
is good time to be there. Last Saturday
the exhibit in the government building
was complete, and those in the horti-
and mining buildings nearly so. The 9th
er buildings are in various stages of incom-
pletion, the manufacturers and liberal arts
and the electricity buildings being most
chaotic. There is, however, much to be
seen in all the buildings now, and, as l
said last week, the advantage of not hav-
ing crowd present is so great that
would not advise those who have planned
an early visit to postpone it.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1893-05-19

Advice: Go to the fair by all means.
Feast your eyes on all the wonders and
beauties, come home all tired out, but with
something to remember all your life.

What publication gives a good idea of
the fair? The Youths Companion, Worlds
Fair number, is better than all other pa
pers combined. Study it carefully before
going to the fair.

What about the Vermont building? 1t
is not an imposing structure, owing TO its
location between the large state buildings
of Massachusetts and Maine. 1t, is how
ever, of classic type of architecture, and
Vermonters have no reason to be ashamed
of il.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1893-05-19

What is the most wonderful thing tina t
you see? That depends upon what you
are interested in. There are wonders ev-
erywhere, In visit of one Or two weeks
you can get good general idea of the
fair, although one cannot see nearly all of
it, and cannot spend much time in critical
examination.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1893-05-19

Are there seats for the weary ones?
Yes, but you sometimes are obliged to
hunt for them. They are not placed out =
door, as they should be. All the state
buildings are good resting places and there
are many seats in the central railroad sta
tion. The ride on the lagoon, or an hour
at the symphony concert, will be found
great rest after hours of sightseeing.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1893-05-19

What about the general effect? 1t is
that of magnifcence, of vastness. The
White City is the realization of the most
visionary dream of the romancer's mind.
The site on the shore of the great inland
sea is ideal. The massive but beautiful
structures have all the appearance of the
soldity of marble. Each of the Is main
buildings is a pure type of architecture,
and all blend together in an harmonious
ensemble. The foreign and state buildings
give diversity in size, style and color.
The long column of the peristyle, the
fountains, the statues and sculptural pieces
are all very beautiful. The waters of the
lagoon, on which ride of four miles can
be taken inside of the grounds, give an
added charm. On the lagoon are launches
driven by storage batteries, which glide
about with no visible propelling power.
Then there are the Venetian gondolas of
brilliant colors, with the suits of the boat
men corresponding to those of their craft,
and about the waters swim countless swan,
ducks, geese and other waterfowl. In the
ride through the lagoon nearly all of the
principal buildings can be seen, and visit
ors should take this trip on pleasant day.

No, not snap shots with kodak. To
take kodak into the grounds costs 81

SPEAKING of the lookout for wheat,
w. r. Munford & Co., of Chicago, in
their weekly circular say:
The visable supply continues to in
crease and stocks pile up in great
shape, while exports from America
are dwindling down to almost nothing
when compared to last year. The
principal cause Of small exports are
the stocks of American wheat in the
united kingdom and continent are
large and demand there for the same
is very limited. And again, Russia
and India having become tired of
waiting for high prices, have both be-
come free sellers at much less money
than our exporters can sell at,and are
loading up what few buyers they can
find, selling to them at their own
figures. We see nothing to indicate
higher markets until receipts let up
in the northwest. exports increase and
general business shows some signs of
permanent activity.

ROCHESTER, Record & Union: It is a
matter of pride to every Minnesotan
to note the large number Of awards
she has received on her exhibits at
the worlds fair. In agriculture, in
schools. mining, stock, in fact in all
departments where she had exhibits,
she has received liberal recognition,
and established high rank among:her
sister states. And to the efforte of
Superintendent L. P. Hunt and his
able corps of assistants is this fiatter-
ing result due. Those who decried
the exhibit of the North Star state
made mistake. She has made a re-
cord of which her children can feel
proud.

Election Echoes.

ST. Paul Neacs: The effect cf the
Republican victories are likely to be
most salutary upon business. They
point out the way of redemption from
Democratic timiditY, financial heresy
and misrule.
Winona Republican. The thinking
people of the country will not be at a
loss to interpret the meaning Of this
great rebuke to the party in power.
Its Shuff1ing with the important pub
lie questions which it promised to
solve, its insincerity. it's cowardice,
and general Incompetent y have dis
gusted the voters with it before it has
been IN power for a single year of it's
term.

Ohio is regarded as a Republican
state under ordinary conditions, to-
gether withMcKinleys personalpopu
larity would have accounted for that.

threats of the Chicago platform must
not be carried out if the Democracy
hopes to make another respectable
fight for the presidency or the control
of congress.
Minneapolis Journal: There can be
but one conclusion from the record of
yesterday, even if this is an "Of year. !"
1t is in vain that the Democrats at
tempt to evade the legitimate infer
ence by saying that they had received
an inheritance of disaster" from the
Republican administrations. They
had received nothing Of the kind.
Even if it were true, the Democratic
party stultlfies itself when it says it
couldn't avert disasters. The party
promised to give the country the mil
lenium. 1t swore that it was per-
fectly capable of doing this. But in
stead, it gave the country eight solid
months of melancholy failure and
bungling incapacitY.
St. Paul Dispdtcb 1t is an easy task
to explain the story of Democratic
defeat which comes from all quarters
of the country. The campaign of edu
cation has, for the present at least,
been brought to close. The t1nal OBJ
ject lesson which the country has re-
ceived, of SmOkeleSS factory chimneys,
broken banks, desolated and depOpu-
lated states aud idle and hungry
mechanics, attended by an epidemic
of crimes, of violence and robbery all
over the land, has apparently been
fully learned. We say apparently, for
the nation which will deliberately
tear down the fabric of it's own pros
perity and happiness as has been done
by the American people within the
past two years, may not have the
scales removed from it's eyes in day.
Minneapolis Times: So far as the
Times is concerned the expected has
happened. No other result could
have been seriously anticipated by the
intelligent man who has watched the
course of events, or has understood
the temper of the public during the
last few months.
