Whew what prolific people there were
in those days. Captain Stark, when his
children were all settled, was allured
from his pleasant home to the green isl
ands of Lake Champlain, the Eden of
America, where he soon after fell a vic
tim to the kick of horse, which termi-
mated useful and eventful life.
People go abroad ard worry their life
out in our own country to take in the
romantic scenery of the world, neglectful
of what is within reach here in this town
aud everywhere in Vermont. Why, the
writer once heard an extensive traveller,
Rev. Fayette Shepherd, say that nowhere
had he seen so fine mountain scenery as
in this town. Now that we have supe-

WEBSTER'S QUEER EYES.
Being a Paper Hanger, However, They
Suit Him Very Well.

Being a Paper Hanger, However, They
Suit Him Very Well.
A remarkable case of visual deformlty
is perplcxing the oculists of Washington
and Baltimore. Il is said to be without a
parallel in this country and perhaps in the
world. The subject is Mr.. Thomas Web
ster of New Orleans, whose eyes are so pc
culiarly formed that they battle all rules of
expression and conduct themselves us no
well regulated optics should.
The idiosyncrasics of Mr.. Webster's eyes
consist in the fact that the pupil, instead
of being in its normal place in the eyeball
is in the lower portion, and in shape is of
Oblong form, extending downward toward
the white of the eyeball.
The result of this eccentric formation Is
that the subject, instead of looking direct
ly ahead, as 90 those with ordinary every
day eyes, has his angle of vision fixed
about 45 degrees from true tangent.
Now, this would strike most people as
being u most distressing inflrmity, but in
the case of Mr.. Webster, professionally
speaking it is in the nature of a blessing
Mr.. Webster is paper hanger, and this pc
culiarity, in his business, is rather of great
assistance to him.
Most paper hangers strain their nccks in
order to keep their eyes on their work,
which in most cases is above them. Not
so with Mr.. Webster He is always look
ing upward, while apparently looking in
front of him, and hence has clear view
of the wall without straining his eyes, the
angle of vision extending several feet
above him.
Mr. Webster inherited this popularity in
his sight from his father. He had a great
deal of trouble in pcrsuading the oculists
whom he consulted that his eyes were nat
ural, and that their popularity was not
the result of disease.
The best specialists were disposed to
think that this popularity was the result
of an operation, but when they examined
the eye they found that the sight came
from the eye at an angle of 40 degrees,
looking upward instead Of directly ahead
They were then forced to admit the verify
of the freak which nature had taken in the
growth of this organ.-New Orleans

The latest criminal sensation in San
Francisco has been tn extraordinary dual
life led by three men, who, when their
funds ran low, made train robbing expedi-
tions into the country
They posed as young men of leisure,
with fad for bicycle riding They util-
lied their wheels to escape from the scenes
of their crimes, and the police never sus-
pected that the natty young fellows riding
in Golden Gate park were murderers and
train bandits for whom the country and
city officers were searching.
Within two months these fellows robbed
three trains and one suburban resort, at
which they killed the proprietor
The stopping of the Oregon express train
ended the career of the leader of the gang
who was shot by the Tehama county sher-
iff. One of these fellows is II murderer as
he shot the sheriff after the latter had
killed his companion.

The Oldest House in PawIet.

Hiel HOLSTER, in an exchange, gives
an account of house that was built IN
1875, according to tradition, by Captain
John Stark, who was cousin of HIM OF
Bennington fame and who came from
their common birthplace, Manchester,
n. Fl. The frame as first built stands
firm and solid to day, though it has been
repaired and renovated several times. 1t
has changed owners and occupants many
times and is in the possession OF Fred
NJ. HOLSTER. Captain Stark was pio-
reer settler of the town and large
owner of land in the west part of the
town. To establish home he had the
choice in location of several miles of
highway, but he selected this spot, which
is environed on all sides with pictur-
esque scenery, old Haystack in the dis
lance rearing its lofty dome. The beau
tiful and winding Mettowee, than which
no purer stream finds a resting place in
old ocean, moves in crescent shape IN
front. This was on the earliest thor
oughfare of Western Vermont and the
path from Bennington to Vergennes and
marked by milestones, showing on one
side the distance to Bennington and on
the other the distance to Vergenpes. 1t
was near the border line of New York
State and was picketed by the fathers
and founders of Vermont to keep watch
of the avaricious New Workers, who
sought to drive off Vermonters from
land they had bought and paid for. In
sight, within rifle range, is the celebrated
Indian hill, where was fought, in 175S,
the first battle in Western Vermont.
Here was found, eighty years ago, Cen
eral Putnam's compass, which history
records as lost fifty years before. This
battle was between us and French and
Indians, called the French war. Captain
Stark raised family of twelve, and one
son named Samuel, most of whom were
born and married before he came here.
In those days manageable girls were in
lively demand and the species, some
times called old maids, was hardly known
to exist. The writer never knew but one
of these twelve, Rachel, who married
Ephraim Jones and raised a family OF
eleven children, some descendants OF
whom remain in town, among whom is
Nelson Jones, who lives near the village.
Samuel Stark raised a family of ten
daughters and four sons, but none OF

as possible He descended in a long, grace
full plane, seeming to move slowly, as if
buoyed up. There was a curve to the de-
. SCENT as if the animal were an aeroplane.
There was no dull thud, although those
who had followed the black streak through
the air naturally expected to see cat with
all of its proverbial nine lives crushed out
in an instant by the impact. The perpen-
dicular distance was all of 80 feet, and the
cat landed at point about 30 feet east of
the line of the window from which he had
leaped.
The spreading feet of the flying animal
seemed to group together just before the
asphalt pavement was reached. For sin
gle instant did the animal pause, as if to
recover from the shock it had experienced
and then, with long drawn meouw that
spoke only of terror and with every hair
on end it dashed down the brilliantly
lighted street and disappeared.-New York

TALES OF THE TIMES.


corning burglary.
Two thieves and two detectives met the
other night at Eighth avenue and Fortieth
street, New York. The central office men
wanted some information about n bur-
glary. They also wanted to know what tho
thieves werc doing and with what partic-
ular band they were training.
They separated the thieves by stepping
between them before they had n chance to
converse, and they knew one mans record
The other was only known to them as a
suspect Each detective took one of the
men aside and asked him full details about
the other, his name, address, business
last job and the like.
The thirv,4, were in dilemma. Neither
knew what the other was saying Each
described the other, giving name, address
business an, I'll
Taking care not to allow the men to gel
within speaking distance, the detectives
changed places and each said to his man:
"Icl mo who you are, what you do
where you live. think we want you"
Neither thief knew how his pal had
described him, and both told an entirely
new story, gave a new name, new address,
new employmcnt-in fact, each gave his
"pal" the lie from the start
Again the detectives changed places and
proceeded to condemn each man out of his
own mouth and that of his pal" Both
descriptions given were false, of course,
and the men had thus confessed that they
had something to conceal.
Having thus got them right, " the CEN
trail Office men asked for direct "tip"
about the burglary they were working on
I,at
they didn't tell what they had heard in the
thieves colony where pretty nearly every
one knows who did the last Job"
The men who had told two lies apiece a
minute before told the name of band and
the name of a member Of that band with
great promptness, and that night n burglar
was arrested.
But the detectives did not tell in court
how they placed their hands on him.

NOTHING LIKE IT !
DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Makes
Another Remarkable Cure.
From the Times Union, Albany, N. W

(From the Times Union, Albany, N. W
Four years ago, Mrs. Markham, who
resides on First street. corner Of North
Swan, noticed a sensitive spot on her left
limb. 1t was apparently nothing serious
but soon developed into sore, and be-
fore long the limb was a mass of ulcers.
Mrs. Markham employed some of our
best physicians, but obtained no relief.
In fact, was told that nothing could be
done for her, so for four years she sui
fered with those dreadful ulcers, which
had eaten their way to the bone.
A little less than year ago, an ac-
uuaintance told her about DR.. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and that he
believed she would find relief in using
it. Mrs. Markham's four years OF SUI
fering had made her skeptical, the more
SO, as she had obtained no relief from
any of the physicians who had attended
her
The friend offered to send her bottle
of DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy If
she would try it. He did so, and there
was such decided improvement that
she concluded to give the remedy tar
test. To-day, not quite year after tax
ing the first dose, the ulcers have disap-
peared, all that is left to show what she
had suffered is a swelling on the ankle
of the left limb, which is fast disappear
ing.
Mrs. Markham is naturally strong in
her praises of DR.. DAVID Kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy, and feels that but for it
she would now be a helpless cripple, if
nota corpse.
Such straight forward endorsement
needs no comment, DR.. Kennedy's Fa-
VOrite Remedy cures diseases when taken

A RIVAL FOR VASSAR.
The Emma willard University Is Rapidly
Widening Its Sphere.


On May 16 Russell Sage will formally
present to the trustees the new building on
the site of the old Troy (N. " Female
seminary, to be known as Russell Sage
hall, in the Emma Willard university. A
bronze statue, from the citizens Of Troy,
commemorative of Emma Willard will be
unveiled on the same day.
Mrs. Russell Sage was a pupil at the
Troy Female seminary in 1867. Mrs.
Sage, as girl of II, came under the direct
influence of Mrs. Willard.
When, three years ago, Mrs. Sage went
to Troy to attend the dedication ceremonies
of the school building erected by Mr.. Lewis
f. Gurley on the old college grounds, the
plan Of the present Sage hall was suggested
to the architects.
A number of the alumni of the Troy
seminary, COW residents of New York,
formed an Emma Willard association, OF
which Mrs Russell Sage has been presi-
dent for four years. The original idea OF
the association was simply to promote
good fellowship and sociability between
old classmates. When Mrs. Sage took hold
of it, she endowed it with meaning and D
motive, and It has now at heart the higher
education Of women.
His wife's personal interest in her old
preceptress and her Identification with this
association were motives in interesting Mr.
Sage in the university.
The Emma Willard university is to have
endowed scholarships. Russell Sage hall
is built to accommodate rs students
Apartments for 25 or 80, fully equipped
and furnished, will be ready for occupation
in September. 1t is probable that the in
stitution will compare with Vassar, Welles-
ley and other women's colleges-New

KNOCKED DOWN BY A GIRL.
Miss BrOwnelIe's Exhibition of Muscular

Christianity.
Miss Marie Brownelle pretty girl not
quite II years Did, who attended fashion
able seminary in California, has recently
attracted attention in San Francisco by
an exhibition of muscular Christianity
She was born in Honolulu where her
father was captain of a steamer plying be-
tween the various islands of Hawaii He
was n well to do man and sent his daugh-
ter to California for an education.
In the meantime her father died and left
considerable money to his widow and
daughter. Mrs. Brownelle removed to San
Francisco, and, to the surprise of all her
friends, the daughter became greatly in
tercstcd in the work of the Salvation
Army.
About two weeks ago she appeared at
the head Of an Army procession in Market
street, dressed all in white, with silver
spangles. She was called the Snow Queen,
and she marched through the streets to adj
vertise an ice cream festival which the
Army was giving to raise funds.
Miss Brownelle furnished a new topic to
the men about town, and they had good
deal to say about the pretty girl in white
with spangles. The fact that she was a
graduate of a well known seminary and
that she had considerable money made her
the more conspicuous.
One man, who had heard a good deal
about Miss Brownelle and had seen her
marching in the streets, determined to
make her acquaintance.
After attending several of the Army
meetings he followed Miss Brownelle and
her mother into the street, and lifting his
