Our Rutland Letter,

The Merchants National bank of New
York City has been designated as the
Reserve agent of lhe Clement National
bank of this city.
A rumor quite well authenticated pre-
walls that one of Rutland's milliOnalre
citizens has bond for deed of the
livery stables on the ssuth side of Cen
ter street upon which he will erect a
substantial and Gommodious hotel in
the spring.
The question has arisen by what au-
thority postmaster or assistant post.
master of cities and large towns like
Rutland levies fines against the pay of
post Office employees for mistakes and
erroneous work and where the fines so
collected go to? -"
Announcement is made of the engage
ment of Henry B. Douglass jr., of the
Rutland National Express company's of
flee and Miss Louise Sherman Mum,
daughter of ex-Clty Clerk G. B. Mum.
The marriage occurs in February.
Slowly but surely Rutland is growing,
one by one new industries are springing
up or locating here. The growth, al
though gradual. will be noticed in the
not for distant future and the staid old
residential town of former days, will be
a thriving manufacturing city.

DEATH OF WIN. p. FAIRBANKS.
AFormer st. JoFTnsbury Man With
aRecoPd. ...'.

Col. VIM. p. Fairbanks, who died very
suddenly at his home in Mt. Vernon, N.
Y, Sunday evening, was native of st.
Johnsbury, where he was born in 1910.
He was the son of Joseph P. Fairbanks,
one of the three original partners of E. &
T. Fairbanks & Co., and nephew of Sir
Thaddeus Fairbanks, the inventor of the
Fairbanks scales. Col. Fairbanks re-
ceived his education at st. JOhnsbury
academy and after graduation entered
the scale factory. . O.
In 1876, when the scale company be-
came a corporation he was elected secre-
tary and treasurer. which position he
held for about ~ years. During this
period he held many other offices of
trust and responsibility, being treasurer
of the following corporations: st. Johns
bury & Lake ChamplaIn railroad, Yer
mont International Telegraph company,
Caledonia Fair Ground company, and
several local organizations. In 1884 he
represented the town in the Legislature.
About 1888 he resigned his various Off
ces and removed to New York. Here
he entered the New York branch of the
Scale company, and al the time of his
death was secretary of the Fairbanks
company, corporation distict from the
st. Johnsbury company, and which in
cluded the leading branch scale houses
of the East
About seven years ago Fairbanks
elOped with the wife of an expressman
of st. Johnsbury. She carried her
young daughter with her. Fairbanks
left a wife, one son, student at college,
and two daughters. -.
The curiously assorted couple who
had come together so strangely went to
New York Apparently careless of st.
Johnsbury or st. JOhnsbury's concern,
Mr.. Fairbanks nOnchalantly assumed the
management of the company's New York
store at 81 Broadway, and set up house
keeping with his new partner They
tried Bridgeport and other places in sue
cession, but somehow the old story fol-
lowed them, and they returned to New
York. Mrs. Fairbanks, advised by Hen
ry Ide, now chief justice of the State of
Vermont, sued her husband for divorce
and gained it. She at least had no cause
to complain Of his want of generosity.
Out of his ample fortunes he settled an
income of 10000 year on her. He
provided his son with $1,000 year until
he was of an age to enter the firm. The
daughters he gave lavish dowries,
When the courts at last granted him
his freedom, he did something to justify
the regard in which the tOwnspeople
still held him by marrying the woman
who had given up home and child for
his sake. From her husband she had
long ago obtained divorce. Then, Mr..
Fairbanks settled down TO end his days
in peace where they have since resided.
He never visited St. Johnsbury after his
flight He was colonel in Gov. Pin:
gree's staff in 1884.

The Rev. DR.. F. E. Clark, president
of the United Societies of Christian En-
deavOr, who has recently travelled
through Turkey, says in 1.-THE Independ-
eht" that the common people of Turkey
are manly, stalwart and truth-loving, but
that the governing classes are rapacious,
bloodthirsty and dishonest AS illus
trating the espionage to which foreign
ers are subjected, he gives the following
incidents: mo sooner had l set foot on
Turkish soil than every scrap of printed
matter in my possession was taken
away from me-every book, pamphlet
and newspaper-andI l saw none of them
again until had shaken the dust of Tur-
key from my feet. Moreover, as it was
known that was to address public au-
diences at various places throughout the
interior of Asia Minor, was cautioned
that there were some that l must not
use, such as fellowship 'brotherhood,'
union Christian Endeavor,' etc. Very
often my interpreter would tell me that
there was a Turkish spy in the audience.
and would imDly in the polite language
of the Oriental that must mind nv

Poisons engendered by food ferment-
ing in dyspeptic stomach are the di-
rect cause of rheumatism, gout, bron-
chitis, liver and kidney complaints, asth-
ma, pneumonia and many nervous all
ments.,
These results are prevented by the use
of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, rem
edy discovered and prepared by the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, n. Y. 1t is
in itself food and has power to digest
other food taken lcith it. Thus it rests
the diseased stomach and finally masters
the worse cases of dyspepsia. 1t acts
promptly and fresh strength and in
crease of weight soon follows. The first
dose, taken Immediately after eating,
abates the pain and distress so dreaded
by dyspeptics. Trial bottles-enough to
prove its merit-l0 cents.

meut has been attempting to force the
Province of Manitoba to adopt a
sectarian system of public schools,-to
establish separate sectarian schools

ing them. Manitoba has stubbornly re-
sisted, and thus far has been on the
winning side. She desires one system
of non sectarian schools depending upon
the taxation of the entire population.
As compromise the government or
dered her to establish the system in
general but to release from school taxa
ton all those parents who wished to
send their children to different schools.
The order was unsatis factosy and that.
and everything else, short of non
sectarian system will be resisted even to
rebellion and secession. In this ex-
treme position, Manitoba will receive
the support of large portion of the
Protestant population of Canada. AS
it is improbable that the Government
will force conflict though she will use
every means short of that, it is proba-
Bile that Manitoba will ultimately secure
what she wants, what she deserves
one united and non-sectarian system of
public schools.

has sent circular letters to all hotel pro-
prietors in Vermont inviting them to
meet in convention at Montpelier for tine
purpose of organizing to defy the prohib-

gest to Mr. Doyle and his associates that

When the consequences to England of

When the consequences to England of
war with the United States are
thought of, it is evident that that coun-
try must be equally as averse to a war
as is this country, and that it is hardly
probable that she will force the Venezu-
elan matter much fVrther than she now
has. Brave as is the talk, war with the
United States is the last thing wanted,
for the food supplies of the United King
dom would be endangered, Canada ex
posed to invasion and conquest, Ire
land handed over to the F, nian conspir-
ators and the whole Empire drawn into
struggle of tremendous magnitude.
How the dispute will end no one can
tell, but few believe that war will be the
outcome.

In Speaker Reeds assignment Yer
mont is well taken care of, receiving two
chairmanships. Gen. Grout gets the
Craftsmanship of the committee on ex-
penditures in the war department and is
third on the appropriation committee, a
very good place. Judge Powers is
placed at the head of the Pacfi; rail-
roads committee. In view of the urgent
necessity of some action in regard to the
Indebtedness of the Pacific railroads, the
Speaker appointed an unusually strong
committe on Pacific railroads, there be-
ing number of strong men associated
with Mr. Powers on the committee.
Mr.. Powers handled the subject of
Pacific railroads in the Fifty Third Con-
gress in a manner that attracted consid-
erable attention and his ability in that
direction is now recognized by his ap-
pointment as chairman of the commit
tee. Congressman Grout could have
had his former place as chairman of the
committee on the District of Columbia,
but he preferred position on the COM
mittee on appropriations, of which he
was member in the last Congress,
which is one of the most important in
the House. In addition to this he was
also made chairman of the committee on
expenditures in the war department.
