The first kimball piano was made six
years ago last April. since which time
$500 have been made. The daily out
put is larger than from any piano factory
In the world and with a demand that Is
utterly impossible 70 supply, all of which
attests its remarkable superiority.
The fine material used in its construc-
ton, its excellent workmanship. and
great standing powers have never been
surpassed. The trade. the profession.
the artists and the international jury of
piano experts all unanimously declare in
its favor.

LITERARY.

cat His Grave" is the title of a
tasteful booklet just published by
Rev. G. W. Patterson of East st.
Johnsbury in memory of his father,
J. w. Patterson, formerly United
States senator and late professor in
Dartmouth College. The poem is in
ten parts and shows fine feeling and
good literary style throughout. 1t
is dedicated by the author to his
mother, in memory Of his father, of
whom fine portrait is given in the
booklet.
Bladder the Poet, and other verses
by George Herbert Stockbridge. This
is the title Of a dainty little volume
OF verse published bye. P. Putnam's
Sons. The twenty.one poems con-
tanned in it are varied in theme, but
all are exalted in tone and pure in
conception, and should find many
admirers. They are marked by faith
and hope, and the workmanship is
careful-in fact the little volume is
very pleasing indeed to both eyes
and ears. The author is not un-
known in this town and many peo-
pie may be interested in his works.
Current Events the new magazine
printed at Rockville, Conn, gives
review of the important news of the
world every month, with illustra-
tons, for 80 cents year. The prog
ress of the world is told in an accu-
rate, interesting way, and it is
therefore used by many teachers for
school use. The publishers send
sample copies free on receipt Of post
al. A feature of the April number is
the review Of the China-Japan war.

"The capitalist has not only been
the truest friend of his laborers, but
he has made this plain in such un-
numbered ways that the laborers
see that all his profits inure to their
advantage, and that they are truly
in partnership with him.
Col. Fairbanks represented a type
OF manhood that any man may well
be proud Of. He touched so many
interests in the village that the
whole community feels that a great
loss has come upon them. He lived
a useful and honorable life, full OF
good works, and the memory OF his
name will be blessed.
The funeral will be held at the
North church Saturday morning at
1920. All friends are invited to at.
tend this service.
The employees at the scale works
will meet at the Court house yard at
10 o'clock, and thence go to the
church in body. After the service
they will escort the body to the final
resting place.

THE MISSING BOY FOUND.

Arthur Seelye, son Of President Seelye
of Smith College who was reported
missing last week, was found dead last
week Wednesday on the rocks towards
the south end of Mount Tom, Northamp-
ton, Mass. He had fallen from a cliff As
feet high and it is believed death came
instantly. Mr.. Seelye was a classmate
of Clarence D. Wood of this town and the
two roomed together through their
course at Amherst College and had since
been taking postgraduate course
together in English at Harvard. Mr..
Wood was one of the bearers at the fun
eral. Deep sympathy is felt for the
family who havequite a number of warm
friends in St. Johnsbury.

MISLEADING PARAGRAPH.

Readers may remember seeing some
time ago an item speaking of severe
and new kind Of malarial fever,
which had broken out at Samoa,
causing the deaths of a great number
of natives as well as Europeans; and
the ravages of which were said to be
worse than internal wars. Other
statements were made, such as 1.-The
disease is unknown to medical
science that the wife of the British
Consul had died of it, and the Consul
had fed to England. The Samoa
Times wakes indignant over this
statement, and devotes over a
column OF editorial to refute it. The
prevalence of an epidemic is admit
ted, but that it was of the character
above described is distinctly denied
and characterized as libel on the
climate of Samoa.

THE PEACE TREATY.

The conclusion of the long and
cruel war between China and Japan
is a thing to be thankful for. China
has indeed bitten the dust, and now
has to make concessions which must
gall her badly, besides paying huge
war indemnity to Japan, who is
quite immoderate in her demands.
That the outcome of the war will
finally be a benefit to China seems
almost certain, for the opening OF the
ports of Huchow, Shao King, Chen
tn, Pekin and Kai Fong, not only to
Japan, but to all nations through
the provisions of the peace treaty,
must have good influence.
France is indignant over thej de-
mands made by Japan, and thinks
her ambitions ought to be brought
down at once. A Chinese loan of
30,000,000 marks h as been arranged
for in Germany and when the indem.
nifty is paid it is probable that
large portion of the money will find
Its way to England, for Japan is
ordering new war ship there.

Col. George E. Waring, commits
sioner of public works in New York,
has had the audacity to speak OF the
Grand Army OF the Republic
as "a lot of pension bummers," and
make other derogatory remarks, ana
now his friends the enemy whom ne
has made, want to remove him from
his position and would scrape the
streets with him if they could. Col.
Waring sticks to his opinions, and
perhaps some one may get hurt be-
fore the row is over. In his official
position OF street cleaning commits
sianer, his attention has been drawn

that there is a dead cat lying in

haps the Colonel has not time to

AN UNFoUNDED STATEMENT.

The charge brought by Rev. L. J..
Lansing, D. D., of Park ST., Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Boston, that
President Cleveland was intoxicated
on the occasion Of the naval review
at New York, and the consequent
storm that ill-advised reverend has
brought about his ears, is well calcu-
lated to make Christian people, and
those who are not Christians also,
wonder if the divine commission to
preach the gospel to every creature
includes a charter to blacken the
characters Of those who hold high
positions in the state. Ministers
have doubtless much duty to per-
form in a sociological way, but their
prime object should be to adorn the
dostrine of our Lord, and not to in
jure His cause by making statements
which cannot be substantiated about
those from whom they may happen
to differ in politics. Mr.. Lansing's
apology" is generally considered to
be insult added to injury, and has
not bettered his position in the
minds of the best people. However
the incident has not been without
its good result in the bringing forth
of evidence sufficient to set some
misinformed people right on this
enh;ect
