THE SITE OF THE FIRST MEETING
HOUSE.

Editor Of The PhGnir:- viii you kindly
allow me space for few words as to when
and where the first meeting house in this
town was built, about which certain cir
cumstances have revived new interest, and
in respect TO which the last two OF three
years have brought new facts to light?
In respect TO the time, this new light
seems TO make it not later than 1868. In
respect to the exact site, this new light
seems to put it farther from the cemetery
than the spot named in my "discourse" of
1876; namely as one says: "a little west
of where the southeast corner of the ceme-
terry now Isl" or, southwest of the south
west corner of the cemetery" (See 'PhG-
nix May 10, 1892, and July n, 1898. }
Another authority, whose ancestors lived
near the house, and whose father used to
point out the site to him, says: 1.-The place
place is still marked and known by the
corner stones of the foundation still remain
ing where the building stood"

and pity for him overshadows the enormi-
ty of the offence.
For Mr. Plummers wife the deepest
sympathy is felt. No family in Brattleboro
is more generally and highly respected than
the one to which she belongs; for Mr..
Plummer's parents, also, there is great
sympathy.
Mr.. Plummer was arrested Saturday, not
for incendiarism, but on a civil suit for
damages sustained by j. II. Stearns result
ing from the fire. The arrest took place
at the home of Mr. Pummers parents in
West Brattleboro. A private hearing was
held, Plummer could not furnish bonds
and he was taken to Newfane Jail Satur-
day night by Mr.. Mcclure.
Mr.. Plummer was petitioned into insol-
vency yesterday by Edward Rorke IL Co.
of New York of whom he bought part
of the goods for his store, and whom he
owes about $500. 1t is known that Mr.
Plummer has liabilities amounting to from
$500 to $500, in addition to what he may
be owing relatives.

To set wet boots and shoes near
fire, stove, steampipe or hot regis
ter to dry, or hold them there when
on your feet, is but natural.
The next natural thing is for the
leather to become brittle and "life-
less" the result of too quick drying
and to crack and break the first
time worn.
If the Wearer is ignorant of the
cause or has forgotten, its natural,
very natural, to lay the fault to the
shoemaker or dealer. Thinks some
one has been cheating maybe, until
he learns the cause. Natural then
to buy Il new pair and be more care
full.
To men who dislike to bother
with rubbers we. recommend our

Cork Sole shoes. They're about per.

f. II. O'Connor, who captained last
years Dartmouth team, is back in the medi-
cal college but will not play on the team this
year. However, it is probable that he will
go into the cage and give the pitchers the
benefit of his experience. The nine began
training Monday. There are about 80 can
didates. Dinsmore, the third baseman
last season, will probably be the regular
varsity pitcher, with Thornburg and Taber
as substitutes. Abbott is the leading can
didate for pitcher, but if not successful
Capt. HUFF will go behind the bat. DR..
Ranney, the star catcher for the past four
years, is expected to coach the team a
short time.

The New York Sun says concerning the

ball team of 1892 and the best short stop
that Yale has ever had, has received fat
tering offer to play in New Bedford this
year. The city has fine team every sum-
mer, composed mostly of college players.
Hitherto the men have been mainly from
Harvard and Brown universities. There
is some chance that Murphy will play short
for the New York club. He is a marvel
GUS fielder and usually reliable batsman.
Bowers, the pitcher, has been appointed to
the lecture committee of the Kent club of
the law school, which committee has just
secured Congressman Wilson, the author
of the tariff bill, for lecture
The Bostons have also made offers to
Murphy, but the probabilities are that he
will 90 to the New Yorks. Murphy grad

For the SPECTATOR
A Few Words of Counsel.

The veto of the silver coinage bill doubtless
has excited much Indignation in the bimetal-
lists, but it does not constitute sufficient cause
for withdrawal from the Democratic party
The party speaks through its regularly con-
stituted conventions and cannot be controlled
by any individual or faction. The party is
honestly and broadly committed to the two
money metals and will finally vindicate its
purposes. The support of the Republican
gold standard theory by the veto offends the
sensibility of many and hurts, but let it be
remembered that the country is DIVIDED into
two great parties with their roots in the per-
petually antagonizing theories of government
that of Capitalization with the strong arm OF
arbitrary power on the one hand, and on the
other, the popular voice, which rules by its
influence at the polls. These tendencies will
always exist and so will the parties. A party
which springs up on a current question must
disband on its settlement The great parties
are not only held together on general princi-
piles, but by the cohesive power of public
plumber" which they have in undying ex-
pectancy. They expose each others errors
with promptness and energy. They constitute
powerful supports to the national fabric
The government is upheld by public opinion
and party. endeavor. The great mass of dis
content and disaffected elements which are
developing in our country and abroad, threat
ening to overturn social order, destroy the
government, defy all laws and established
usages, are assuming dangerous proper
tons which threaten anarchy communism,
riot and death. 1t will never do for those
who have become disa1fected at the two great
political parties to affiliate and combine with
| the avowed enemies of society, to seek redress
| for the mistakes of the leaders in the admin
| istration-rem 1T is human to err
| and Godlike to forgive" Forbearance and
constancy are essential virtues in popular
government. Silver has befriended the peo-
pie in all their wars as well as in peace, and
will not be summary discarded by discrimi-
nations against it by the Treasury Depart
ment in two administrators contrary to law,
or by Presidential veto. In the unity of the
Democracy is the safety of the South and the
liberty of the conservative people.
