SHOT TWO YOUNG BOYS.
Levi La Rose Says He Thought He Saw
Bear.

Rutland, VT, May 1s-A special to
the Herald from Benson says: About
s p. m. Tuesday, George and Edward
Norton, aged s and IA years respectively,
were shot by Oliver L. Rose, aged %.
The younger boy was mortally wound
ed, and the elder seriously injured. La
Rose was arrested and will be arr Aligned
tomorrow morning. The Norton boys
live with their parents on the shore of
Lake Champlain. They started to go
to house about half a mile distant.
They took path leading inland from
the lake through the brush. About a
quarter of mile from home they met
three men, John Lafeur, his son Arthur
and LaRose, his son-in-law. Young La
feur was carrying loaded musket. AS
the boys approached, La Rose took the
gun from his companion, and fired, the
charge striking both boys. The three
Frenchmen assisted the boys home. La
Rose claims he mistook the boys for a
bear, but his stories are contradictory.
LaRose was recently married The only
theory that makes the shooting inten-
tional is that he mistook one of the boys
for an older brother, of whom he is said
to be extremely Jealous

Domestics have points of excellence
far superior to any Range made in the
New England States.
Repairs will not be needed for our Do
nestle Ranges as we warrant every piece
of casting and will furnish free of charge
within reasonable time, any part of our
Range, that may warp or give out. Our
anti-clinker, Sitting White CRATES are
practicable and indestructible as they
are made in sections and if one small
bar ever gives out it does not interfere
with the working of the CRATE, and a new
bar will be supplied by US free of charge.
1t is really wonderful CRATE. The
Domestic has the Self Basting ventilat-
ed Oven, which is worth $1,000 to any
family as a SIS saving device. Roast
their juices, in the Domestic Oven.
Remember we warrant the Domestic
to work in any good chimney, and if it
does not, we will either take the Range
back or refund the money.
The Domestic combination hot water
heater is fitted at less price than the old
fashioned cast iron cored water front
can be sold by any dealer.
Tho Double Oven top on our Range
makes the oven an even baker, and very
durable.
We are always busy but never too busy
to consider it pleasure to show all, who
will spend few minutes, the Domestic

features of usefulness and labor saving
devices to make cooking a pleasure than
any two Ranges made in the New Eng

PRAISE FOR THE FRAME.
Our English Cousins Com ment OF
Chicago's World Picture.

London, May 18.-The British Royal Com
mission to the Worlds Fair at Chicago has
just issued its report. Its tone is decidedly
favorable to the exhibition. 1t gives an ex-
cellent description of the exhibits and con-
cludes by saying:
sit is impossible for those who did not
visit the exhibition to understand the en-
thusiasm which pervaded it and the gen.
uineness of it's character. 1t would be an
easy matter to. criticise its shortco mings
but it is undensSble that 1t was a courage
GUS inception, splendid in execution and
successful in it's results.''
The great feature of the Chicago fair was
the unique arrangement of the frame of
the picture. All comments on the fair
turned to the general effect and splendor of
the buildings and the beauty of the situa-
ton, not the Importance and beauty of the
exhibits and the evidence afforded of in
dustrial and scientific progress. Enormous
sums were lavished upon the splendid
temporary palaces. These were in no wise
especially well adapted to their ostensible
purposes, but they had an impressive and
magnificent appearance. Hardly one of the
buildings, except the Fine Arts building,
was suitable for exhibition purposes. This
criticism applies to the ostly pavilions of
the different states.
Regarding the vital question as to what
has been gained by the exhibition, the COM
mission say there is no doubt that the fair
has been greatly advantageous to Chicago
and the Western States. Chicago desired
an advertisement and it got it. The name
of that city is now known throughout
Europe and in quarters where two years
ago it had hardly been heard. Whether any
genuine profit will be gotten out of this
notoriety remains to be seen.
In actual pecuniary profit Chicago gained
great deal, as visitors to the fair must
have taken to that city much more than
the $s,000,000 subscribed by the city to the
preparation Of the grounds, etc. A large
majority of the visitors, too profited by the
fair, if not in money in knowledge and
practica, education. This is especially true
of the laborious people in the Western
whea fields. to whom the exhibition must
have been revelation of the latest results
of civilization.
Concerning the part taken in the fair by
Great Britain, the report says that Great
Britain had less to gain by the exhibition
than any of her rivals, yet il she had not
taken prominent part it would have been
extremely disastrous to bel trades

ADJOURNED TO MONDAY.

The Result of Several Hours Sparring in
the House.
Washington, May 1S-Nearly all the early
afternoon was wasted in the House. There
was first division on motion of Mr.. loud,
Republican of California to take up the
private calendar, which was the regular
order under the rule. This was lost. Then
Mr.. Burrows, Republican of Michigan,
moved that when the House adjourn it be
to Monday, and this evoked a roll call on
the motion of Mr.. Sayers of Texas, chair
man of the committee on appropriations,
and was defeated by 70 to ID. Afterwards
the Republicans agreed to dispense with the
first reading of the legislative. executive
and judicial appropriation bill, which would
have occupied two hours or more and the
bill was then taken up at 2. 10 in committee
of the whole. In reaching this conclusion,
the House agreed to adjourn over till Mon
day.
Mr.. Dockery, Democrat of Missouri, stated
that the bill carried, as it came from the
committee, total appropriation of $21, 1885,
823, S71, 100 less than the appropriation for
the current year and 81 ,3s3, $40 less than the
estimates furnished the committee. The
total number of salaries provided for was
10,110, which was 1863 less than estimates
and 553 less than provided for in the bill for
the current year.
The bill was further explained by Mr..
Dingley, Republican of Maine, and Mr..
Bingham, Republican of Pennsylvania
After notice was given of two amendments
to be offered, debate went to the subject of
members pay, and Messrs. Hutchinson,
nemocrat of Texas Roatner Read Grocyo
nor, Everett, Democrat of Massachusetts,
and others participated. The general theme
was the policy of arbitrarily deducting for
absences even under leave of the House.
With the exception Of Mr.. Hutchinson, al
the speakers took the ground that it was
unwise. At five the House took a recess.
Several pension bills were passed at the
evening session.
