The Auction eer.

Well. yes, there's fnnnicr men than me;
ain smart as used 20 be.
| was selling come goods mortgage, once,
Joking away like crazy Ounce,
Not knowing caring whose heart broke
With every blasted, low lived joke.
l held mp a Cr.de-a nice one, too
Not damaged bit, just as good as new
Oak, or walnut, or some such thing,
Worth twice as much as they ever bring.
Odd you eyer notice that people act
Like crazy diotss It's fact!
A mani spend every cent he's got
For thing, fits any good or not,
If some other fellow wants it too;
I've noticed it years, and know it. true.
And the whole world through is an auction sale,
we sometimes thought, on bigger ecale)
Well, yelled away, and all the folks
Were laughing like mad at my crazy jokes
And it made me feel kind of good, you know
And thought was smart-that was years ago
''The cradle is empty" went on;
The cradle is empty, babys gone
And then they all laughed long and loud;
But poor young woman broke through the crowd
Aud pushed up close to me- and said:
20, sir! my poor. poor child is dead!
sMy husband bought it before he died;
And I've rocked her in it, and sung to her,
When we were rich and happy, sir;
And They're both dead now, and IN all alone.
q sir, your heart must be hard as stone.'
Then The poor young woman began to weep;
And tell you. boys, felt mighty cheap!
/ couldn't look that crowd in the face
But man stepped up and took my place
A kinl old nun, with tender heart
And bid forty dollars for start.
and the bids went up. and that cradle sold
For hundred and eighty ia solid gold.
And bought the cradle; and then went,
And gave it to her with every cent
had paid for it.
Yes, Iii agree
There's funner men in the world than me;

Notwithstanding the cratic and erup-
tive condition of the weather for the
past week, the various societies did not
fail in the matter Of entertainment.
First, and one OF the principal and
most enjoyable events was the party on
Friday evening under the management of
Banner Lodge Knights Of Pythias. For
this affair some 142 tickets were sold, and
The opera house presented an unusually
gay appearance with the large crowd OF
merry makers who had gathered to enjoy
the occasion, and they did ENJOY 1t to the
fullest extent, the floor being almost
overcrowded for each dance. Not until
nearly daylight did the gay party give
the exhausted musicians chance to
drop their Instruments. One OF the
cellent supper provided for the occasion
by Chas. Gerber, the restaurant man,
which elected praise from all who par
took Of it.
On Monday evening the ladies Of tie
Catholic society also gave party at the
same place which commanded large at
tendance and was fully enjoyed by ABOUT
eighty couples, who kept time to the
music until late the next morning. The
ladies provided very appetizng supper,
which was served on the stage and heart
lily enjoyed. A handsome gold ring was
given To the most graceful lady waltz
er, and was awarded to Miss Theresa
Croal. The proceeds of the affair We're
donated to the church.
On the same evening the Relief
Corps gave a shadow social at the home
OF Mr.. Il. Emanuel and although, owing
to the threatening weather, the atten-
dance was not as large as it would other
wise have been, those who were there,
present, had more fun than you could
shake stick at"
On Tuesday, the storm which had
been blowing With considerable force
during the day qnieted down and the
ladies' OF the Nj Il. aid society, who
were not 10 be frightened by little
per as advertised. Each guest at the
supper was presented With pretty
valentine. and following the refreshments
avery nice program Of literary and musi-
cal exercises in keeping with the occa-
sion was rendered.

Under the stnrs and strlpes.

In accordance with the law passed by
Congress last year, admitting the Inman
ships, the City of New York and the City
of Paris, to American registry, the stars
and stripes were raised with due ceremony
over the former vessel Wednesday. The
New York, as she is now to be called,
steamed to place in the East river near
the United States cruiser Chicago, which
was stationed there, prepared to fire a sa-
lutte upon the raising of the flag. Along
shore the docks were gayly decorated and
there were numerous craft gathered in the
river. The day was stormy and cold, but
in spite of the weather 500 distinguished
guests were on board the New York to
witness the proceedings. President Har-
rison raised the flag, having come from
Washington by special train for that pur-
pose, with members af his cabinet and
other officials. The New York is a new
vessel, one of the largest, swiftest and fin
est ahoat 260 feet long, 63 feet beam, 10,-
500 tons burden, and has engines of 5000
horse power. An idea of the power of the
engines can be had when it is remembered
that the great engine at the centennial in
1876 was of only 1900 horse power. The
New York is so strongly constructed that
in case of war guns could be mounted on
her decks, making of her swift and for
midable cruiser. Later the City of Paris
will enter American registry and two
American vessels of as great or great
er tonnage have been ordered by the Amer
lean line, which owns the New York and
Paris. When the American flag floats over
these four magnificent ships, the promise of
the revival of American shipping will be
very bright.

There have been no new developments
in regard to Hawaiian annexation this
week. While the treaty for the anneXa-
ton of the islands is on the executive cal
endar in the Senate, and can be called up
at any secret session, the chances are that
the few remaining days of the session
may be so closely occupied with important
legislation that action on the treaty may
not be reached until after March 4. More
over, while the sentiment of the country is
unmistakably in favor of speedily confirm
ing the treaty, there is evidently DISPOSE
ton on the part of leading Democrats
either to oppose annexation, or to have def
mite action put off until the new admins
tration comes in. The young Princess
Kaiulani, who is being educated in Eng
land, has sent modest and dignifed little
protest against being deprived of her
throne.

up on either side Who would be RESPONSE
BILE for keeping the streets in passable COLI
dition-the railway company or the town
authorities? Suppose, through the bust
ness part of Main street, the snow were to
be carted away so as to leave compare
lively smooth and level roadway. When
the spring breakup comes there is always
a period of a week or more when loaded
teams have great trouble in getting through
Main street on account of the bare ground
caused by the heavy traffic wearing away
the snow. Were the snow to be cleared
away, as we have suggested, this period
would be much longer and more trying
What would the effect be on the general
business of this village?
Facts and questions like these do not
prove that Brattleboro ought not to have a
street railroad, or that the road would not
be good Ching for us. They have moth
ing to do with purely sentimental consider
ations which have been so largely urged.
They come right down to basis of solid
business. If Brattleboro had 10000 inhab-
itants instead of 1000 we should have a
railroad, and there would be twice or three
times as much money as there is now to
provide for contingencies like those here
mentioned. The question is, is road expe-
dient, from purely business point of view,
at the period of development which we
have now reached?

Within the past ten days as many as 40
of the POO Mexican residents of Texas, who
left there last December to raise a revolu-
ton in Mexico, have fallen into our hands
and are now prisoners in that state. They
were chased out of Mexico by Mexican
troops; they were captured on American
soil by our troops, and they are held for
trial upon the charge of violating the neu-
trality laws of the United States. Presi-
dent Diaz maintains that they should be
delivered over TO him by our government,
under the terms of the extradition treaty
between the two countries; but the proba-
bility is that they will be tried in our own
courts under the indictment brought
against them by the grand jury. They have
violated the laws of this country as well as
of Mexico. They can be punished here as
we'll as there.

A truce was fixed up between the war
ring houses of the Kansas legislature last
Friday and peace reigned once more at
Topeka. Under the terms of the agree
ment, signed by the committee of the Re
publican house on the one side and Gov
Lewelling on the other, the Republicans
gained all the essential points for which
they contended. Hostilities were to cease,
the militia were to be sent home, the dep
uty sheriffs were to be discharged, and the
differences between the two houses to be
adjusted by the supreme court of the state
on injunction proceedings to be brought to
test the legality of laws passed by the Pop
ulist legislature. The Independent organ
ization of each house is to be maintained
until decision is received from the court.
The Republicans meantime have undis-
turbed possession of representatives hall,
while the Populists occupy another room
in the state house which they have had fit
ted up for their use.

The train carrying the President from
Washington to New York to take part in
the ceremonies connected with the flag
raising on the New York, was delayed by
a bad accident on the Pennsylvania road
An accommodation train was crossing a
switch just outside of Philadelphia when
an express train crashed into the middle of
one of the passenger coaches. Five per-
sons were killed and many injured on the
accommodation, but none on the express
train. The Presidents train was following
the express and had to wait for the debris
to be cleared away. Some senators were
on the express train en- route for the New
York exercises. They were so overcome
by the terrible accident that they returned
at once to Washington.

An Important Suggestion from the New
Hampshire Railroad Commissioners.

The New Hampshire railroad commits
sioners, in their annual report, soon to be
published, bring up point which has been
raised in connection with our proposed
Brattleboro street railway, and which is of
especial pertinence in connection with the
proposed electric road, for freight and pas
senger traffic, between Bellows Falls and
Saxtons River. They discuss at length
the street railway problem and the propos-
al to build electric roads between different
towns which will come into competition
with the steam railroads for through freight
and passenger traffic. In this connection
the commissioners say:
"A steam railroad corporation, whose
business it is to carry passengers from one
town to another, is required to buy its
right of way, to construct and maintain its
roadbed bridges and fences, and to pro-
vide suitable depots and crossings. Can
any good reason be given why an electric
road corporation, whose business is exactly
the same, should be given roadway and
furnished with roadbed and bridges and
fences at the public expense and thus be
given great advantage over its competi-
tors, and allowed to subject the citizens,
who are taxed to support, and occasion the
use of our highways, constant annoyance,
risk and expense? We think not. If
electric roads do general railroad business
for the pecuniary benefit of their owners,
we see no reason why they should not he
subject to all the requirements that are i'm
posed upon other roads engaged in exactly
the same business, or why they should be
given exclusive and very valuable rights
and privileges in the highways, to the dis
comfort and detriment of the public; and,
before it be too late, we hope to see estab-
lished in New Hampshire a rule that all
railroads that are designed to do through
business from one town to another shall
keep out of the public thoroughfares, pay
for the land they occupy and build their
own bridges, fences and stations"

1t must be remembered that all pending
legislation left unfinished at noon on
March dies with the sd Congress. Not
so with executive business like the Hawai-
ian treaty. which comes before the Senate
in its function as a single and permanent
legislative body, and remains on the calen-
dar continuously until disposed Of The
Senate, in fact, will reassemble on March
5 or next in special session, so that its
present term will extend until well into
April for the transaction of all other bust
ness than that in which both houses joint
ly participate, which necessarily dies when
the life of the representative branch is end
ed. After March 3 the Senate will have
nothing but executive business on its
hands, and can give unlimited time to it,.
Under these circumstances it will not be at
all strange if the vote on the ratification of
the Hawaiian treaty is forced over into the
special session of March and April next.

Gov. Mckinley Made Bankrupt by a
Friend.

Friend
Financial disaster has overtaken Gov.
Mckinley through the failure of Robert
L. Walker, lifelong friend, at Youngs-
town, Ohio. Mr.. Walker, a prominent
banker and capitalist, was engaged in sew
eral large enterprises, some of which turn
ed out badly, and he was suddenly obliged
to make an assignment. Gov. Mckinley
has always unhesitatingly signed his pa
pers, and the result is that every dollar of
his property is swept away. His liabilities
for his. friend will reach 500, ,0O0-fve
times as much money as the governor, at
the age of 40, has accumulated Mrs.
Mckinley, who is an invalid has about
$50, 900 in her own right, which was left
her by her father, and this she proposes to
turn over to the trustee of the bankrupt
estate. Her friends protest against allow
ing her means to go to cancel her husband S
debts, incurred by another man, but she
insists. The governor bravely says that
no man shall lose dollar by him, and
that he will retire from politics at the
close of his term in the governors chail
and earn the money to pay every dollar
that he owes.

MYTH appetites sharp as the swords
wv of Spain,
' And pie-crust as long as the coast
of Maine,
No wonder you're seized with an inward
pain,
And made cross and grabbed.
But when you do shorten the pastry with
lard,
You render digestion remarkably hard:
We beg of the cooks Of the land to discard
This dangerous habit.
1t ruins digestion. The experts insist it
Should never be used in pie-crust or
biscuit,
And never in cooking at all should you
risk it.
But people must,
1t seems,
Have crust
To make pie;
And think it hard to Danish lard
With which to fry.
Now "CoTToLENE" is pure and clean,
And will supply
The place of lard in this regard.
Suppose you try
Croquettes, and see
How delicate and crisp they'll be.
Physicians, chemists, cooks, all say,
BY using "CoTToLENE" you may
Prepare your food in such way,
That children and dyspeptics too
Can eat what other people do.
Its color is quite golden looking,
No odor rises from its cooking;
1t will at once enlist your favor,
When you have tried its matchless flavor.
Your health and wealth you will enhance
BY giving "CoTToLENE" a chance.

The Money IL Took.

The following estimate is made of the
amount of money which it required to carry
on the great Reading deals which preceded
the collapse: In the first place the $4,000
shares of Boston & Maine which they are
reputed to have bought at $50 called for
S7,5O0,00O. They also bought 105, 900
shares of New England at about so, max
ing S5,350,0Oo more. In addition to this
they also bought s., ,5S0,OOO of Connecticut
River railroad stock, which represents
s., 100000, or grand total of SIS, ,250, 900.
This money was mostly borrowed and
carried in loans.
