Montpelier Illustrated.

The st. Johnsbury Cdledonidn says: "The
souvenir edition of the Montpelier Watch
man, which has recently been issued, is
really an illustrated history of the capital
of Vermont, and the book reflects great
credit upon the enterprise and typographical
skill of the Watchmap Publishing Company.
The first half of the book is devoted TO the
history of Montpelier, which is well writ
ten by j. A. DeBoer. Beginning with the
founding of the town in 1887, the writer
touches upon all the events which have
made the town in the century or more that
followed the building of the log house on
the Branch The rest of the book is de-
voted to very full description of the busi-
ness interests of the town, including all
branches of industry. The book is fully IL
lustrated with half.tone cuts, and there is
not page but what contains one or more
of these pictures. The state house, the fed
eral building, the statue of Ethan Allen and
the Bennington cannon are among the first
pictures. One Of the finest pictures in the
book, from printers standpoint, is 'Athen-
wood the residence of Hon. I. w. Wood,
president of the National Academy of De-
sign. But this is by no means the only
residence in the book" Flexible covers

low a cost as is charged by any first-class

NOT HALF WAS TOLD.
The Destruction Caused by the
Grecian Earthquake.
Mountains Vibrated Like PenduIums
and Masses of Rock Were Hurled
Into the Valleys.

ATHENS, April 29-The official report
sent from the earthquake-stricken district
In NOwise minimiZes the first report of the
disaster. The whole coast line from the
anient port of Laryma to Theopolyte suf-
fered terribly. King George was deeply
stirred by the scenes of suffering he wit
messed during his visit to Atalanti. He
has announced his intention of visiting
Thebes and extending aid and sympathy
to the afflicted people there.
The loss Of life on Friday night last
must have been very great. NJ. Boupides,
vices that in the Lokrist district alone 300
persons were killed, and of these 233 bodies
have already been recovered. About 800
were Injured.
The people of Atalanti have fed to the
hills for safety. In this district there was
continuous series of shocks. In seven
hours and half 315 shocks were counted.
When the earth movements began and
houses tottered and fell many of the in
habitants forgot everything except their
personal safety. They ran wildly from
their doomed city and sought firm stand
ing place on the ILLS that rise behind the
town. The earth swung to and fro like a
pendulum, and between the swings would
tremble and quiver. Much damage was
done along the shore by a seismic wave
which encroached upon the coast for a
distance of twenty meters. A number of
houses were destroyed by this movement,
and there can be no doubt lives were lost.
1t will perhaps be several days before an
accurate list of the fatalities can be
made up.
Huge masses OF rock were detached from
the noun tains and hurled with thunder
ing crash into the valleys below. Eye
witnesses of the scene describe it as hav-
ing been an awe-inspiring exhibition of
the mighty forces of nature. before which
man was utterly helpless. Deep subter-
ranean rumblings and reports resembling
the sound of cannon fired at distance
continue to be heard, and the people are
in mortal fear that other and more severe
shocks may follow.
The contour OF part of the coast line has
been materially changed. The shore on
the Eubeean side has sunk six feet Other
natural phenomena accompanied the dis
turbance. The sulphur springs at Aidipso
were temporarily changed in character,
and spouted forth torrents of almost boil
ing water, and springs of pure fresh water
appeared in the crater of an extinct vol
cano. The center of the disturbance lies
between Laryma and the Malian Gulf,
but throughout entire Greece the shocks
were felt.
LONDON, April pa special dispatch
to the Times from Athens says: No deaths
were caused at Atalanti by the earthquake
Friday night. A village near Atalanti and
the monastery Of ST. Catherine were de-
stroyed. The shock was violent at Linn
mach. AT Drachmanion number of houses
and the churches were thrown down. Two
persons were killed and many injured.
Earth tremors continue to be felt almost
continuously and deop anxiety is felt lest
there be a repetition of the shocks.

City Cooperative Association, powerful
organization of known socialistic tenden-
cies. Colorado was declared to be the
State where the overthrow should begin.
1t is intended to place cooperative COM
mittees in one State, so they could
multiply and eventually control the legis-
iation of that State to the establishment
OF complete State cooperative machine.
and then :he conquest of the balance OF
the country would be the more easy and
more quickly secured through the ex-
ample of its practical operation on so large
scale as State. II will be some time
before the onward movement begins.

ARE TRAMPS AND CRIMINALS.
Henry Watterson's Opinion of the
lnduStr Army.

TACOMA, April 29-To Ledger re-
porter Henry Watterson said to-day:
This Coxey crusade OF the idle is not a
demonstration for labor. Half of these
men are tramps, pure and simple. Half
of the other half are criminals, pure and
simple. The remaining fourth are merely
lads on lark. 1t is only question of
time when some dire tragedy will come of
it. Then. as by torch in the darkness,
the true nature and meaning of the W hole
affair will be disclosed to the great body
of peopfe-taken now somewhat by sur
prise-and public opinion thoroughly
aroused and united, indecison and tmid-
ity will disappear. and the official who es-
says to do his duty will be lost Mean
while. there is not an honest, hardwork-
ing, laboring man in the land. but who, in
the inner recesses of his heart. looks upon
these harlequins as the veriest wretches,
the end of whose burlesque must bring
the true wOrkingman into discredit.
In a great Democratic republic like
ours, where all things are open to all
men, such grotesque exhibitions can only
be humiliating to those actual sons of toll

of millionaires. There is not a wife who
spins nor husband who digs and delves
who is not sought to be degraded by these
caricatures of Gods working army that
make farce of honest industry and a
travesty of the homely virtues of the
10 WY and the poor. The sooner the strong
hand of the law is put forth, the better
for humanity and for authority. AS to
the leaders. they are the merest swindlers,
who richly deserve to be hanged for the
suffering and waste they have already oc-
casioned.
"Whar do / think of the Wilson bill?
Why, shot my fowling-piece at the Will
son bill the Sth of last January and then
took to the woods. Since then the Wilson
bill seems to have been doing some
wandering In the wilderness itself. To
speak accurately, there is no such bill as
the Wilson bill. There was a measure
that went by that name when it came out
OF the Ways ana Means Committee. But it
lost one of its eyes and had its nose broken
in the House, and since it has gone to the
Senate its Disagreement has continued to
the degree that its author would not rec
