Croker and Parkhurst.

Interviews are cabled from London,
with Richard Croker and DR.. Parkhurst.
The former on being asked if, in case the
Lexow committee should summon him,
he would return to New York, said
"Of course l will. What's the use of
the papers wasting space in saying that 1
wont when those who have anything to
do with the committee know that l am
at their disposal whenever they ask me?
Mr.. Croker was told that the day after
his departure from New York news
paper there had published a statement
from an alleged intimate friend that he
had said that Tammany would be beaten
this autumn and that the organization
would then be compelled to summon
him again to the leadership. He replied
with much bitterness:
why should man be called upon to
deny such statement as that? Those
people can make up stories faster than
a man can contradict them. However,
will say this-and put it in words as
strong as know; if you can put it in
stronger, do It'll am not only out of
Tammany Hall L am out of politics. No
circumstances, no event that any man
can forsee, can induce me to take up
that load again. 1t was partly to assure
my friends, as well as to show my enc
mics, that this determination is irreVo-
cable that made up my mind to come
over to this side about the time l gave
up my place in Tammany. Now let me
repeat am out and out for good, and
those who know me know this"
DR.. Parkhurst also in talking of
Croker's sudden departure from New
York he says: "He is flying from the
wrath that is to come. He does not dare
face the committee now uncovering the
villainies of Tammany misgovernment.
/ am not at all surprised at his flight.
He knows his danger, and is on this side
to save himself from prison.
''As to his successor as leader of Tam
many ,can give no information. My
opinion is that the boss business is at an
end in New York. The Republicans are
confident of winning at the approaching
election, but for my part, if they work by
bosses / would as soon keep Tammany
in as to supplant it with Tom Platt.
"Haf of Che villains of the boss sys-
tenn are not yet revealed. Before the
committee is done it will be found that
Republican bosses are not any better
than Democratic. People must throw
off all bossism and things that spring
from it."

NEWS AND NOTES.

Vermont is likely to have two colo
nels on her Republican State ticket,
which is the one that always wins. They
are Colonel Woodbury. of Burlington for
governor and Colonel Mansur of Island
Pond for lieutenant governor. And they
are not Kentucky colonels either, for
each has worn an empty sleeve ever since
the war There has been no attempt at
revival of war memories except in iso-
lated causes at the South, but this seems
to be veterans year-Troy Times.
The Hon. Hoke Smith is doing quite
well for his fellow citizens of Georgia.
Already he has made provision for 100
of them in the interior department alone,
and when all the counties of Georgia
have been heard from and when reports
are submitted from the various federal
departments, it will be found that the
Hon. Hoke Smith has a following in
Georgia which is likely to dismay the
statesmen of Georgia who have been dis
posed to regard him with scorn and dis
dain.,

SSl, ,S56.23. The grand list for last year
was $50, 1922, the difference being
SS96.99. Assessor Chapman said yester-
day that there we're substantial reasons
why the grand list is not so large this
year as that of last, but he considers
this years list better than that of last
year, for it represents more real estate.

wished to try to carry ON good work

Others have children and wish to do all

The Linscott 25 mile road race,
held at Maiden, Mass, May 9th,
1894, was won by Nat Butler of
Cambridgeport on a Stearns wheel.
He made the 25 miles in one hour,
eleven minutes, % 1-5 seconds,
breaking the worlds record, and
capturing the first prize of horse,
harness and buggy, the first time
prize of 800 diamond; also, a
$3.50 diamond for breaking the
worlds record. The report illus
trated will be found in the Boston
Sunday Journal of May 9th.
1t is the first record broken
this season, 1853 starters, among
whom were some of the fastest
road riders in the U. S. A. 1t is
another case of the ''fastest man on
the fastest Wheel" The other
''fellows" are not in it with the

Harper's Weekly was formerly one of
the Mugwump journals which heaped
high its burning censer in front of the
shrine of Grover Cleveland, but it now
refers to him as 'The shorn Samson"
1t says: mo attentive observer of the
course of public events can fail to be
struck with one great contrast between
the political situation now and the polit-
ical situation eight years ago. To say it
in the fewest words, the President of the
United States was then a commanding
figure in the situation, and now he can
scarcely be said to be a factor at all"
The great apostle of mugwumpery pro-
ceeds to analyze the situation. 1t finds
that Cleveland was hated by the politi-
clans of his own party, but they followed
him and nominated him because they
feared his appeals to the people,"
Now they hate him but do not fear him,
because he has stopped to the ordinary
politicians level by attempting to placate
them with consulships and bring them
into line with marshalships. He has de-
livered himself into their hands and he
has deprived himself of the one great
power he had, the confidence Of the peo-
pie founded on the fact that he was not
a politician.

MEN Of Vermont. F."

BOOK FULL OF VALUABLE VERMONT
BIOGRAPHIES.
The Transcript Publishing company of
Brattleboro has just issued the volume
of Vermont biographies the full title of
which is, "Men of Vermont, an Illus
trated Biographical History of Vermont
ers and Sons of Vermont; Compiled by
Jacob G. Ullery, under the editorial su-
pervision of Hiram A. Huse."
The volume is divided into three parts.
the first of which is historical, while the
second has biographies of prominent
Vermonters now living and the third
notices of ''Sons of Vermont or men
born here who live elsewhere.
The first chapter has an introduction
to the historical biographies by c. Il.
Davenport, followed by notices of
fathers" governors, senators and con-
gressmen; then come sketches of lives of
judges of the Supreme court, with an
introduction by Huse, and then a chapter
on Vermont inventors written by Cover
nor Fuller and one about "Queer Char
acters" by II. A. Huse. This part
covers 200 pages.
There is in the first part some new
material, but the most of it is compila-
ton. The second part, upon the other
hand, is nearly all new. 1t gives bio
graphical notices of about 700 Vermont
ers, the most of whom are now living in
the state. This is followed by the third
part, with notices of over $50 "Sons of
Vermont" The value of these original
biographies cannot be overestimated.
They are authentic, are nearly all here
published for the first time, and are in
permanent and convenient shape. A
large part of the biographies, in all the
three parts, are accompanied by por-
traits.
The volume is stout octave of s24
pages, well got up as things go.

The death of Judge William Walter
Phelps, early yesterday morning, removed
one who did not think money made all
there is of life. Possessed of abundant
means he worked out in his chosen pro-
fessiou the problem of a widespread rep
utation, just as many another American
before him has done. AS minister to
Germany he achieved phenominal success
in the realm of diplomacy. His end came
peacefully after protracted illness, and
the remains will lay in state until to-mor-
row at Englowood, N. j., when the obse-
quies will be held.

The Readsboro Enterprise says: ETY.
lerD. Doodell of rhis town has withdrawn
from the canvass for senatorial honors in
the South shire of Bennington county,
which leaves the field clear in the Repub-
lican ranks for Abraham B. Gardner of
Pownal. Mr.. Goodell withdraws entire
ly of his own free will and accord as he
recognizes the strong claim Mr.. Gardner
has for the nomination in the fact that
Pownal has had no Republican senator
for 16 years. Readsboro has not had a
senator for IS years, but during that time
she has had high sheriff and side Judge.
Knowing these facts Mr.. Goodell with
draws and will use his influence for Mr..
Gardner, who will doubtless secure the
nomination and election"

Here is an item that will interest our
readers: Senator Proctor and Tom
Reed startled their colleagues, last week.
by conspicuous change in their person
al appearance. The Senator had re-
moved his beard, and he now looks like
old steel engravings of John Brown,
Daniel Webster and other statesmen who
were in the habit of being shaved every
morning before breakfast. Mr. Reed.
few years ago, took off Senator Joe
Blackburn's hands one of the numerous
suits of Kentucky tow that he had OBJ
tanned at bargain for about Sc a suit.
Mr.. Reed has worn his suit every hot
season since. This season his tow
trousers had been pressed for the sum-
mer campaign and the seams were as
tight as whipcords; but, to the surprise
of all beholders, they appeared at the
sides instead of at the front and back.
Some of Mr.. Reeds Juvenile colleagues,
who are always happy to initiate any
fashion set by him, Immediately tele-
phoned orders to have their trousers
pressed in the same style"

The attempt on the part of several
State papers, to injure the candidacy of
Col. Mansur, by calling him a lawyer
and an Office holder, is both cruel and
unwise. The facts are these: Zophar
Mansur was the son of poor farmer,
and resident of back town where his
opportunities for acquiring an education
were very limited. He was swept off to
the front, while a mere boy, by that
tide of patriotism which swelled the
ranks of the army and saved the country
Desperately wounded, he gave his good
right arm to the cause and returned to
grapple with the problems of an educa.
ton and self support. Driven from the
farm in search of profession, he chose
that of the law and such favor as merit
won him. That he has risen in his pro-
fession and has been honored by town,
county and federal offices is pretty good
proof that the patriotic hero of the war
has proven his ability, his faithfulness
and merit as an honest and worthy citi-
zen. Let those be just who have made
no sacrifices for country, and who may
have been far less successful than he in
the common spheres of life.-Barton
Monitor.

IN sorry to say that some of the

that disgrace them aud which shonld

To prevent this, | nov state | will
