An Important Contribution TO Histori-
cal Literature.


The most important work of compiling
history into encyclopedia form which has
ever been undertaken is that of j. n.
Larned in his "History for Ready Refer
ence and Topical Reading" the fifth and
concluding volume of which has just been
published, so that we now have the work
complete and in form to judge correctly
of its magnitude and importance. The
plan of the work is upon lines which are
entirely original. Instead of writing over
place condensation the works of the world s
greatest writer's of history Mr. Larned has
taken these writer's own words, in their
own original setting, and assembled them
into a connected narrative of whatever
topic OF period or epoch he had in hand.
The labor and research which have gone
into the preparation of these volumes are
beyond the comprehension of the ordinary
reader and student, and it is entirely evil
dent that it could only have been done by
one who had the true historical instinct as
a fundamental qualification, and who, in
the next place, has spent his life among
books, as has Mr.. Larned, who is the pres
ident of the American Library association,
and the accomplished superintendent of
the Buffalo, N. Y, public library.
We think the work which Mr.. Larned
has accomplished may be summed up in
the statement that he has produced COM
pendulum which covers the entire field Of
written history, with the periods, topics
and nations so grouped as to make any
given fact quickly accessible, while the

Look up and not down,
Look out and not in,
Look forward and not back
And lend a hand.

We would not by any means have the or
ganization non-religious, but the distinct
lively religious work and teaching we
would leave to the churches where we con-
ceive that it properly belongs. But Mr..
Day would think such a plan impractical
BILE, if not undesirable. Candidly, we
agree with him as to the impracticability.
Others-men filled with zeal and devo-
tion-would wish to work on entirely diff
ferent lines.
Isn't this good time to think it over
and see if there is not some common
ground, not of compromise-as Mr.. Day
so we'll points out-but of mutual conces-
sion and genuine union?

The st. AIbans Fire Losses.

The Cash Property Loss Reaches at
Least s4OO,OOO---Actusl Payments by
Insurance Companies S207,SI4.
L. S. Hayes of Bellows Falls, the we'll
known insurance adjuster, sends us from
st. Albans this morning the following au-
thentic figures in regard to losses by the
st. Adams fire and the insurance. The
total amount of insurance involved is
S465, ,6S4, which includes all removals of
goods where damage is small, and policies
covering three, four or five buildings, of
which perhaps but one was burned Act
ual payments by insurance companies,
S257, ia. The best estimates by insurance
men place the cash property loss by the
fire at $4,000 including the government
building, which was not insured.

According to the London Times Japan's
war against China was a war for existence,
begun because of Chinas secret purpose
to subjugate her. AS long ago as 1882,
the Times says, Ii Hung Chang was re-
peatedly urged by the Chinese government
to lead the armies of China against Japan,
ed, immense quantities of ammunition
stored away in all the strongholds captured

The people of Utah seem likely to have
their long-chershed wish for statehood
granted within the coming year. The
convention to draft constitution assem-
bled March 7, and completed its work
May s. The people will vote on the ques-
tion of adopting the instrument formulated
by the convention on Nov. ), and if their
vote is affirmative President Cleveland will
then issue proclamation admitting the
new state.

1t has been decided by New York court
that municipal corporations are responsible
for loss by fire which could have been pre-
vented by proper fire-extinguishing appara-
tus. 1t is appalling to think of the legal
hair-splitting which suit for damages un-
der such a decision would bring out.

1t is manifestly difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to get at the truth about the Armenian
massacre and atrocities of 1898. Simulta-
neously with the publication in Boston of
private letters, protesting to give the
story of refugees and eye witnesses, there
comes the report of Rear Admiral Kirk
land, commanding the European squadron
of the United States navy. After careful
investigation under official instruction the
admiral believes that the reports were
without foundation or were greatly exag-
gerated, and "his conclusion that there
were no atrocities is concurred in by the
diplomatic representatives of the United
States with whom he came in contact dur
ing the cruise" 1t is pretty certain, in
any case, that the Turkish authorities are
not over-anxious to have the truth known.
According to the earlier accounts the num-
Der of Armenian Christians who were
slaughtered with unspeakable violence was
not less than 5000.

The failure of the New York legislature
to pass the bill creating the Greater New

Judge Seneca Haseton of Burlington re-
signed as United States minister to Vene-
zuela last Friday, but before doing so was
allowed to see the charges against him.
He was not permitted to meet them by any
explanation or disproval and was not per-
mitted to see the President. He vigor-
ously denied all charges to Assistant Secre-
tary Uhl and told him he could show them
false if he were only given a hearing. Mr..
HAselton is still in Washington and is not
expected to return to Burlington for several
weeks

The Unitarians of Boston have made a
radical new departure in their efforts to
reach the people, having begun last Sun
day afternoon a series of O'Clock Sunday
afternoon meetings on the common to be
continued through the summer. Rev. DR..
Edward Everett Hale opened the series
with an address on drawing nearer to God
and walking with him from the text, ''In
the cool of the day the first man walked in
the garden with the Lord his God" Rev.
NJ. j. Savage will be one of the speakers
next Sunday.

The venerable, but beautiful and pros
porous Italian city of Florence was shaken
by a violent earthquake shock last Satur-
day night. The people of the city were
panic-stricken, and in some of its suburbs
buildings were thrown from their founda-
tions and completely wrecked. Numbers
of people were hurt, and later reports may
tell of many deaths. Let us hope that
Brattleboro's son of fame, Larkin G..
Mead, the sculptor, long a Florentine resi-
dent, escaped unhurt in person and estate.
Florence lies in the beautiful valley of the
Arno, among the Apprentices, and has a
population of 125, 900 souls.

Chauncey NJ. Depew says that Governor
Morton is his candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination next year. In
1892 Mr.. Depew was leading supporter
of President Harrison for denomination
and now considers him strong candidate
for next year. While Mr.. Depew's present
preference is for Morton, he thinks that if
the convention was to be held now Nc
Kinley would get the nomination, but con-
ditions may change in year. Mr.. Depew
is one of the three official advisers of the
New York state Republican committee,
and almost certain to be one of the dele
gates-at-large to the next national conven-
tion. His advocacy of Morton, therefore,
is in a certain way formal presentation
of the governors name to the people of the
| country
