Walter Mansfield the board of trade

When Mansfield goes out on one of his
trips he always locates a place where
he can get good meal, and SO times
his sport that he will reach it at the
dinner hour. A few days ago he went
up on the Zig Sulphur creek for days
fishing, and, as he started out at day.

in front of which stood a horse trough
and sign: Hot Meals at All Hours. !"
The trough did double service as a
drinking place for tired and dusty
horses and lavatory for the guests of
the hotel"
"ThnEs just the place." said Walter
TO himself. I'm fish up stream, and
then down again, SO that I'll reach here
at noon"
He carried out his programme, went
to the ''hotel," where he rubbed soft
soap around his neck and washed it off
in the horse trough, and then seated
himself at the wooden table. An old
Missourian sat smoking in one corner,
and never budged or paid the slightest
attention to Mansfield, who was nib

HE LOOKED LIKE A TURK.

But He Was Only Plain, Weather Beaten
American.
At a recent private banquet in Wash
ington gentleman related an amusing
occurrence in which he had been one of
the actors. 1t took place in Turkey,
just before the Russian war in 1877
This gentleman and another American
interested themselves as they travelled,
in studying the various Oriental types
which were encountered along the way.
Their interest in minor types van
ished before magnificent specimen of
the Turkish army officer who entered
the train one day.
He was dressed in the fullest and most
superb of Turkish uniforms, with red
fez on his dark head, and abundance of
gold lace on his coat Great spurs gilt
tered on his boots. He was accompanied
to the train by several orderlies and
servants, who placed his luggage in
the compartment which the two Ameri-
cans occupied.
He had straight black hair and mus
tache, and his skin was almost the color
of bronze. AS he climbed into the com
par .ment, he apologized in good French
to the Americans for disturbing them.
They responded as best they could, in
the same language, insisting that they
were not Inconvenience.
Presently the Turk lighted cigar
cite and settled back easily in his seat.
The Americans fell to talking aloud in
English about their companion.
Typical specimen of the Turk that
fellow is said one of them.
Rather; and yet there is something
about him that is not just like the
Turks" answered the other.
Possibly. Just note that hard and
cruel expression about the mouth and
chin.

yet I don't believe he's a Turk He
must be some other sort of oriental

''I'd like to know just where the fell

The Turkish officer, whose face had
worn an expression of stolid unconcern
all through this dialogue here took
his cigarette from between his lips and
turned to the Americans with smile.

several confederate officers who, after
the close of the civil war, had accepted
service in the army of the khedive of
Egypt. This one had afterward left
Egypt and taken an important rank in
the service of the sultan of Turkey.
Life in the open air in that part OF
the world had lent dark tinge to the

adroitness in hasing suspicious cor

Yet there is a field 10 I'll, and this
field must be filled by science, Within
the past two years a score of murder
cases have been prominent in the
United States, because of the very
presence of this scientific element. In
trials of men accused of murder by

these cases has actually rested the life

accused But this is by no means the

In one case in a great American city,
the whole thing went wrong, and the

How the Duchess of Gordon Raised Reg
iment One Hundred Years Ago.

iment One Hundred Years Ago.
Near the close of the last century
rumors OF a French invasion alarmed
Great Britain and aroused military
ardor to such an extent as to lead to
fresh regiments being raised. In one
of series of interesting sketches BIZ
Hon. Mrs. Armytage, of British Man
sions and the Mistresses Past and Pres
ent," recently published in Tinsley's
Magazine, the raising by the famous
duchess of Gordon of the battalion of
Gordon Highlandars, which has since
held such distinguished place in mil
itary annals, is thus described: "The
duchess of Gordon is said to have had a
wager with the prince regent as to
which of them would first raise a bat
talon, and that the fair lady reserved
TO herself the power of offering re-
ward even more attractive than the
kings shilling. At all events the
duchess and Lord Huntiey started off
on their errand, and between them
soon raised the required number of
men. The mother and son frequented
every fair in the countryside, begging
the fine young Highlanders to come
forward in support of king and coun-
try and to enlist in her regiment, and,
when all other arguments failed, rumor
said that kiss from the beautiful
duchess won the doubtful recruit She
soon announced to headquarters the
formation of regiment, and entered
into all the negotiations with the mill
tary authorities in most businesslike
manner, reporting that the whole reg
iment were Highlanders save thirty
five. Lord Huntly was given the first
command of this corps. then and ever
since known as the Ninety-second or

June's Crop of Icebergs.

Icebergs have been claiming the at
tention of the photographic office. The
chart lately issued shows the To-
cations of the icebergs reported to the
United States photographic office dur
ing the month of June for period of
seven years There are several places
where icebergs appear TO be the most
numerous, notably off Cape Race and
on the tail of the Great Banks. but the
region between these points is COM
plratively unfrequented, and there
may have been many icebergs which
were not reported There is no uni
forInity in the number of icebergs;
there were doubtless many which were
never seen, and some of those which
were seen were probably reported
more than once. Tsle graphic prcsen-
tation of the reports of icebergs seen
conveys general idea of the normal
quantity and position of icebergs dur
ing the month of June. and the extreme
limit may serve as practical guide to
mariners as a warning in approaching
the region where special vigilance is
essentially required. 1t must be re-
membered that this chart is merely a
record of the reports, and is not state
ment of the actual condition.

ELECTRIC RAILROAD.

At the last session of the legislature a
charter for an electric railroad was Sc
cured and about score of our citizens
signed the petition for charter A cap
italist in another part of the state who
makes a business of building such roads
is coming here soon to look the matter
over and will probably make a PROPOSE
ton to the owners of the charter Tor
building the road. This gentleman pro-
poses to take financial interest in the
road and feels quite confident that such
an enterprise would pay. Our town has
so many scattered villages that line
connecting the different parts would be
we'll patronized and ought to be sue
cess financially. The CALEDoNIAN hopes
the project will be put through to a sue
cessful completion as it believes it would
help to large extent the growth and
prosperity of the town.

THE WRESTLING MATCH.

About 500 people attended the wrest-
ling match in the Howe Opera House
last Friday evening between James M.
Mcdonald of CRANKY and James O'Neil
of Montpelier. A. w. Lane of Barre was
referee and was kept very busy after the
match began. The seconds of Mcdonald
were Mr.. Reagan of St. Albans and Mr..
Decker of Swanton O'Neil's seconds
were Mr.. Corrigan OF Boston and Mr..
Bruce of Barre. The first round was won
by the Montpelier champion in about
two minutes, o Neil winning by the cross
toe grip. The second round lasted four
minutes and was won by Mcdonald by
the grape vine grip. In the next two
rounds, which lasted about five minutes
apiece, O'Neil was thrown both times,
but the umpire declared each a foul.
These decisions cast dismay into the
hearts of McDonald's hackers and con-
siderably encouraged the other side.
The last round, which was a short one,
lasted only two minutes and when Nc
Donald won and the umpire declared he
had won the match the excitement was
intense. Each side put up $500 and Nc
Donald received the purse and the box
receipts, which amounted to several
hundred dollars more.
A large delegation came over from
Montpelier and Barre to back their man
and the Victory branch road had several
cars of McDonald's friends. The St.
Johnsbury Orchestra furnished music for
the occasion, but their services were
hardly needed as there was plenty oi
music" from the crowd throughout the
progress OF the contest.
