Home Rule Bound to Come.

Justin Mccarthy in the October Forum
have no inclination whatever to dispute
the greatness, the completeness, of the
Liberal defeat. 1t was, as Mr.. Ruskin
once said on very different subject, not a
fall, but catastrophe. Yet 1 am not par
ticularly cast down by it. For the great
reform measures in which am chiefly in
terested it is a delay and nothing more
The Home-Rule cause, for example, will
have to wait. But the man who thinks
that Home Rule and its movement have
been put out of the way by this Tory tri-
umph must be utterly incapable of under
standing the forces of a national principle.
Amid all our difficulties and dissensions
the cause of Home Rule carried off tive
seats from the Tories of Ulster. In that
province, supposed to be the stronghold of
Toryism, We have again a majority OF
the representation in the ranks of Home
Rule. Therefore l feel not the slightest
fear on that subject l am sorry that the
national cause should be delayed in its
movement, but it will not have to wait Ions
its time will come.

An Important Discovery In the Hud-
sOn-PHge Case.

Information has recently been received
by ex-Surrogate Ransom of Brooklyn, y.
Y, which, if it should prove true, will add
much to the interest in the Hudson-Page
contest as it will involve a much larger
claim to the estate left by Page than it was
at first supposed he had. When Mr.. Ran
som took hold of the case first, it was sup
posed that the value of the estate left
would be about $4,000, but Mr.. Ransom
says now that it may foot up 100000,
principally cash that is deposited in some
western institutions. This case is the one
in which Emma j. Hudson attempts to
prove that she was secretly married to
James w. Hudson, the noted horseman,
who died at White River Junction in 1892
Her counsel claims that the marriage took
place at Manchester, but no record of it
has been discovered.

A Yacht Race Next Year.

Charles Day Rose, son of Sir John Rose
of the banking firm of Morton, Rose IL
Co. of London, and owner of the yacht
Satanita, sent an informal challenge few
days ago for the Americas cup. The
New York yacht club acknowledged the
challenge, but cabled in reply that it would
be necessary for Mr.. Rose to challenge
formally for the cup through yacht club.
In compliance with those requirements
Mr. Rose will forward formal challenge
through the Royal Victoria yacht club of
Clyde of which he is a member. Mr.. Rose
is young man and has not been promi-

THE VERMONT NEWS.
Under Fire.
The Governor of Maine Makes Charges
Against the Granite State ProvIdent

The Governor of Maine Makes Charges
Against the Granite State ProvIdent
Association.
The Granite State Provident association
of Manchester, n. H., in behalf of which
Vermont has been vigorously canvassed
for a year or two past, is under fire in
Maine. The association was investigated
by the state bank examiner, and Gov.
Ceaves has now sent letter to the newly
appointed examiner, asking him to investi-
gate its method of doing business. The
governor found that 80 per cent of the
first years payment, and 20 per cent there
after till the maturity of the shares, are
charged back for expenses" that leach
shareholder pays $12 yearly on each share
of stock owned, and So is the charge on
each share the first year, and 81 on each
share after the first year, and that TAT
the end of the first year the shareholder
has only SO standing to his credit for ev-
cry Il he has paid in, and $40 for every
S12 after the first year" The report fur
ther states that "by this method their
profits show to be very large, as there are
no charges against them, with the eXcep-
ton of one item, legal expense and that
none of these profits are credited to the
shares semi-annually or annually" The
claim is made that the association for the
past three years expended for expenses
each year more than its entire receipts
from profit items, and the conclusion is
finally reached that this association, so far
as the dividend properties are concerned,
has an apparent deficit of Sl3,O20.l2.
Gov. Cleaves thinks that foreign loan and
building associations are a constant drain
on the earnings of Names citizens and in
furious to home loan and building associa-
tions and savings banks.

Miss Vanderbilt WIN Marry n Duke.

New York society within the 400 circle
is a-flutter over the announcement of the
engagement of the young duke of MARI
borough and Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM X. Vanderbilt,
recently divorced. The late divorced faith
er of the young duke sought the Hammers
ley and Price millions in New York to re-
habilitate the wasted fortunes of his es-
tate, so that it is only natural for the ninth
duke of Marlborough to win other mil
lions that will answer the same purpose.

Peary's Return.
The Arctic Explorer Brought Back by
the Relief Expedition---IIis Efforts
Largely n Failure,

The Arctic Explorer Brought Back by
the Relief ExpeditiOn---IIIs Efforts
Largely a Failure.
The Peary relief steamer Kite arrived at
st. Johns, N. F., Saturday with Peary,
Lee and Henson on board 1t is conceded
in the main that Peary's expedition was a
failure. He and his associates endured
many hardships last winter, but, undaunt-
ed, they started northward again in April
over the ice cap with five sledges and 40
dogs, besides a supporting party of natives
during the first stages of the journey. When
they arrived at point 1876 miles from head
quarters, where he cached provisions on
the failure of the expedition in 1894, Peary
could not find the cache, which had evil
IDENTIFY been showed under and buried.
Consequently he decided to go on toward
Independence bay, hoping to augment his
limited stock of provisions by shooting
game. Lee gave out and had to be hauled
for several days till the bay was reached,
where they contrived to shoot several musk
oxen.
Owing to the smallness of the party and
the fatal defect of scarcity of food, Peary
could not make his way northward. He
did some coast exploration himself, while
Lee recuperated, after which they began
their return journey to camp. The dogs
became emaciated from want of food, and
Peary was compelled to kill the weaker
ones to supply the stronger ones with food.
Immediately the stock of dogs became so
reduced that but one remained when head
quarters were reached. They ate their
last ounce of food 20 miles from camp, and
passed 26 hours without food before they
succeeded in reaching the lodge on July %,
Just week before the arrival of the relief
expedition. The Kite started on her re-
turn trip Sept. 1 and the intervening time
was spent in explorations and surveys and
in collecting specimens of deer, walrus and
northern animals, and birds, flowers and
lichens.

A Veteran Conductor KllIs mimseIf

Oscar Phipps, the veteran conductor of
the Central Vermont mail train between
Essex junction and Rutland, committed
suicide early Friday morning at his home
in Burlington by shooting bullet into his

room and when she had closed the door she
was startled by the report of a revolver.
Returning instantly she found her hus-
band dead with the 32-calibre revolver be-
side him on the bed. Mr. Phipps is ga

FOrty-One Poisoned by PIes---SiI Have

The negroes of Oak Grove settlement in
Georgia assembled at their church one day
last week for worship. Each family car
ried basket and dinner was spread for all
who would partake. Before the meal was
over several had to leave the table on ac-
count of violent sickness. Others were
soon attacked. There are many rumors as
to the causes of the poisoning, the most
reasonable being that the pies in tin plates
were made day or two before they were
eaten. Forty-one were poisoned and six
have died while the chances are that many
more will not recover.
