OUR VICE PRESIDENTS.
Marble Busts of Vice Presidents For {
 Senate Chamber.

Marble Busts of Vice Presidents For the
 Senate Chamber.
 In 1888 the United States senate adopt ed resolution to the e6ece that marble busts of the vice presidents of the United States should be placed in the vacant niches in the senate chamber from time to time.
 MT. Edward Clark, the architect of the capitol. was directed to carry out the provisions of this resolution. subject to the approval of the senate committee on library. This committee decided that $500 ought to purchase good bust, and MT. Clark received instructions to secure first the busts of living vice presidents and afterward take up the list chrono- logically.
 Five busts were deemed by the com mittee sufficient for one order. It was also thought proper that the work should be given to sculptors from the states which furnished the vice presidents.
 MT. Clark has followed his instruc- tions to the letter. No sculptor has re- ceived more than $500 for & single bust of vice president. The selections have been made from sample plaster casts
 In the case of Chester A. Arthur there was some embarrassment, owing to the selection of the sculptor St. Gaudens. Mir. St. Gaudens does not turn out busts for $500, and he would not make an ex- ception in this case. Finally an arrange ment was effected by which the friends of MT. Arthur agreed to take replica
 Mir. Adlai E.. Stevenson has already arranged to sit to sculptor, so he will not be one of those left out There are, it should be said, 15 vice presidents yet to be provided for, and with only 12 inches remaining the architect of the capitol will be puzzled with a serious mathematical problem
 The eight busts which are already in place represents John Adams, the first vice president Thomas Jefferson, who succeeded him; Daniel Tompiins, who served from 1917 to 1925; Hannibal Hamlin, the associate of Lincoln from 1861 to 1885; William A. Wheeler, vice president from 1877 to 1881; Chester A. Arthur, vice president and president, 1881 to 1885; Thomas A. Hendricks and Levi P. Morton.-Boston Globe.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Saw Browns Men Hung.
Editor Qf he Ne,cs:

Editor Qf dhe Ne,cs:
 notice in your locals that man liv- ing in Millerton witnessed the execu- ton of John Brown. I was not aware that any Northern man or any civilian. any except officers and troops, were per mitted to witness the execution.
 I was an eye witness to the hanging of four of his men, viz, Cook. Coppie, Copeland and Greene. They were hung on same gallows Dec. Is, 1859. felt AS though was the only Northern man present. but those troublesome times are past and John Brown and his men have long ago gone to their reward. Possibly Northern man could now penetrate his way through Virginia without being apprehended and closely interviewed. W. E. CHAPMAN, Danby, N. r.. April 9, 1894.
