HettX Green,s NInIIons.

According to a San Francisco despatch
Capt. John Rowland, night watchman
on one of the wharves, and his brother,
Jonathan Rowland, a farmer of Napa, will
each upon the death of Hetty Green, in
herit a large share of S3,OOO,OOO held in
trust for them by her during her life time.
Mrs. Green's father was Edmund Mott
Robinson. The Howlands were nephews
of Robinson's wife. Robinson was a
wealthy dealer in ships stores at New Bed
ford, Mass. He made fortune, $10,000,-
600, and left $7,000,0OO absolutely to his
daughter, Hetty Green, and 5000, 900 to
her for life, but after her death to go to
the Rowland heirs.
The sons of old Jonathan Howland, who
were boys when the will was made, but are
now gray-haired men, will come into the
greater part of the $3,0OO,O00 that Hetty
Green holds in trust.

THE BATTLE OF THE BOOK AGENTS
Wee Little Vermont under the Free
Text Book Act of 1904.

What IL Has Cost TO Fight 1t Out in
Wee Little Vermont under the Free
Text Book Act of 1904.
Bethel despatch to the Boston Globe, June4.l
The battle of the book agents in Vermont
ended today, and the matter of text books
for the public schools for the next five
years is decided.
The legislature of 1894 passed free text
book act, to take effect June l, 1895,
which provided that on the first Tuesday of
June the officers of every school district
unit should convene and adopt the text
books for their respective constituencies,
and that the same be used for five years
before change is made.
For the past two months 10 leading
publishing firms have been canvassing
Vermont in lively way, and the cost to
them, figured on very conservative basis,
is enormous.
There are 240 town and 40 graded school
districts, making 2S0 units to adopt books
in the state. 1t is estimated that certainly
1900 officers of these 2S0 units have been
supplied with sample text books from each
of the competing firms, to the number of
from 100 to 250 text books to each officer,
or an average of 200, equaling 100000
books.
The companies began two months ago
with S5 agents, In a month they had 125,
and they closed today with 175. Figuring
the average salary and expenses of these
agents per month at $3.50 makes an ex-
pense to the companies of $37,500 The
books furnished cost from Is cents to 81,
and averaging the cost at 80 cents, repre-
sents an expenditure of$72, 900. Then add
about $500 for postage and advertising
and $2500 expressage and it makes a
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1895-06-07

grand total of cost to the publishing houses
of S113,500.
Now the ridiculous part of this perform
ance is seen when it is stated that if one
firm could get the contract for supplying all
the text books used in Vermont for the
next dozen years, at the prices that have
been quoted this spring, on the condition
of paying these bills, no money could be
made.
Another absurd view of the case:
Nermonts school officers have been pre-
sented with 100000 text books. The aver
age school attendance in Vermont is only
$4,000, so that the gift for advertising pur-
poses of the publishing firms would supply
each pupil with nearly five books apiece.
Each school officer has now a nucleus
for fine library come into his possession
solely through the fact that he was a school
officer the year the free text book law
was enacted.

Undoubtedly Good Advice.

From the Burlington Free Press
We wonder how many of the farmers of
Vermont have begun to profit from the
scarcity of beef by fattenng veal, mutton,
poultry and even beef for the local and
other markets. The experience of market
men with western dealers has placed them
in position to lend an ear to home pro-
ducers, and our advice to Vermont farmers
is to make meat while the western sun is
partially eclipsed.

Ex-President Harrlson's Law Practice.

Mr.. Harrison on his retirement from the
presidency went back into the profession
single-handed. His income from profess
sional source, according to estimates, will
not fall short of $150,0O0 for the year end
ing July l, 1895. The Morrison will case
at Richmond, Ind, yielded him fee of
S15, ,000 and about three months ago he
received $4,000 as counsel for a corpora
tion in indianapolis whose charter had
been assaied.

GOV. Morton Presidential Candtdat,

A New York correspondent, in speaking
of a fainting turn which Gov. Morton eX-
perienced last week, says: The governor S
health is a subject of prime public inter-
est, and will continue to be until after the
Republican National convention of 1896
for he is now one of the leading candi-
dates for the presidential nomination, and
absolutely sure of receiving the united sup
port of the delegation from New York
His age and the state of his health are the
only things that can be urged against him,
so far as his personality is concerned. He
is nine years older than Gen. Harrison, and
Il years older than ex-Speaker Reed The
average age of the "A presidents when in
augurated is less than 81 years, and Gov
Morton is already 20 years older than that
He is, however, younger than the pope
Bismarck, Gladstone and Senator Morrill,
all of whom are still capable of doing much
hard work

The Boston Transcript is not afraid of
any financial unsoundness in Benjamin
Harrison. In an editorial paragraph it
says: "If any free silver men are support
ing General Harrison for nomination by
the Republican party next year under the
impression that he will lean their way on
that question, they are likely to be un-
deceived later. 1t may be that the ex-
President will not acknowledge any neces-
sity of crossing this bridge before he comes
to it, but he is already definitely on record
upon this issue in a way which can give
the free silver men no encouragement.
No one who recalls his vigorous utterances
at Albany and at Bennington, when he
was President, and legislation looking
toward free silver was pending, can
have any doubt as to where he stands"

The New York World has polled Con-
gress by wire in regard to silver, the tariff
and the income tax, and out of 116 who
answered, majority of them from the
South, 80 congressman are for free silver,
A for bimetallism and II for single gold
standard. This canvass adds nothing to
public knowledge. The next House will
consist of $50 members and the Senate of
SS, and the canvass is therefore too incom-
plete TO afford any basis for conjecture
as to the action which either branch
will take on the direct issue of free silver.
There is little doubt that majority OF the
Senate will vote foi ;fse coinage, but as to
the attitude of the House, which is the
doubtful question, no light is gained from
this canvass.

The Keene High schoo! team defeated
the High school boys at Riverside park
Saturday by the score of "a to 3. The
game put up by the local team was a
rocky one. The management played
Hunt, Hubbard, McVeigh and Clune in
the regular places of Wilcox, Adams and
O'COnnor and none of them showed that
they were in the same class.
The b. II. S. boys were completely at
the mercy of Donovan and did not at any
time bunch their hits to advantage, while
on the other hand both Perry and johnson
were hit at will, although only three of
Keene's "a runs were earned. Two of the
b. H. S. runs were earned in the sixth on
three hits and a triple by johnson. Cressy
and Ware were the battery in the last in

Catholic.
/ believe there is eXistance at once /;
that the soul Is not unconscious be-

ture teaches that the souls of the

"paradise. The souls of the wicked
enter at once into a state of misery.
Both these classes await the resurrec-

I believe that Immediately after
death the soul becomes se'f conscious.
I believe hat it seeks the company of
its own character-that is to say, just
exactly as the verdict is brought in
the soul brings In its own verdict and
acts accordingly, but that the final
sentence Is not pronounced until the
end of the world. l think the soul
exists in an intermediate state; that

feet contentment, and the wicked are

The only source to which should
look for any light upon that subject
would be a divine revelation, and l
do not find anything that | can regard
as directly touching in the Bible upon
this subject. rev. Il. G. Hall, Pres
byterian.
The New Testament seems to teach
that after death the soul continues in
a state of conscious existence. The
parable spoken by Jesus concerning
tn rich man and the beggar, and the
dc claration made by Jesus to the dy-
ing thief, "This day thou shalt be
with me in paradise" seem to support
this view.-Rev. l.. A. Crandall,
Baptist.
The soul Immediately after death
enters upon ITS conscious existence in
the immortal life; it parts from the
material body to assume spiritual
body more perfectly fitted to its needs

form, but etherialized and sublimated
to the last degree. -Rev. L. j. Dins-

c. Taylor. to investigate certain charges,

Miller was accused of breaking into the

ing in the stable, it was claimed, and moth
ing was taken. Charles said be simply went

Prosecuting Attorney Jeffords.
NO. SIR" replied Miller.

fled that Miller had been convicted and
sent to Albany. Fountain Peyton. a col
ored attorney, testified the same way
Mr. Taylor then called on Attorneys
Coomes and Shiiiington, who defended Boss

trict attorneys say they can prove he is
Boss.
