Senator Thurston of Nebraska to be one
of the speakers. Senator Thurston Is very
well known in Vermont He was born in
Montpelier; he married a niece of Judge
Poland; and he has many friends in the
State. lie has spoken there several times,
and they like him. / thought it fitting,
therefore, that he should be asked to
speak at the league meeting 1t was a
fair representation, l thought, to have
Thurston, Dolliver and Frye. one for Nc
Kiney, one for Allison, and the other for
Reed. All accepted, of course, on condi-
ton that their public duties would allow
them to leave Washington. When Scna-
tor Frye found that the river and harbor
bill was to be under consideration by his
committee, just at the time of the conven-
ton, he was obliged to decline. Repre-
sentative Doliver was also unable to go,
and after consulting with MIR. Grout it
was decided to ask Representative Linney
In his place At the time invited Senator
Thurston, remarked to him that of course
nothing would be said about presidential
preference In The speeches, and he replied
that he understood all about that
After arriving at Montpelier / tried to
see him again. but he was visiting rela-
tives, and we did not come together until
the night of the league meeting. If had
seen him should have spoken again about
not referring to candidates. AS 1t was he
made n very strong reference to Mr.. Reed,
and he was strongly appauded. / saw
nothing unusual or improper in his refer
ences, and | am sure he intended to be
perfectly fair.
II presided at the meeting, and said
nothing about any candidate. / told them
that l was not going to name any
| body. because l did not want them to
waste their breadth in shouting now, but
thought that they had better save 1t to
shout for the nominee OF tho st. Louis
convention.
Il did send a despatch to Mr. Hanna
/ have forgotten just how 1t was worded
but l told him that the Vermont conven-
ton had Endorsed Gov. Mckinley, and that
we wero now all for Mckinley, or some.
thing of that kind. l sent the despatch

LESS IMPROVEMENT LAST WEEK.
1t Has Been Betweon tho Seasons Period
Exports Of Wheat.

New York, May 1.-Bradstreet's to-mor-
row will say: There Is relatively less i'm
provement in the general trade this week,
the present partaking of between sea-
sons character. Wholesale merchants in
staple lines in many instances look ahead
with confidence TO the autumn, and In
such departments as agricultural impe-
ments, building materials and hardware
there is reported moderate revival in
demand.
Exports of wheat (wheat -four included
as wheaD from both coasts of the United
States this week are smaller than last
week, amounting to 100000 bushels,
against 1,2S6,000 bushels last week, and
totals between two and a half and three
million bushels each In corresponding
weeks in three preceding years.
Total bank clearings amounted to $500 =
100000 this week, a decrease from last
week of not quite 3 per cent and falling
off as compared with the corresponding
week last yea of 10 per cent. April bank
clearings rsfiect continued quiet in bust
ness and speculation, the gain being only
18th of / per cent over April, 1895. The
weekly totals of business failures through
out the United States, while averaging
fewer than in the weeks during the first
quarter of the year. still attract attention.
The total number reported is 254 this week
against 24O last week, and 260 in the last
week Of April, 1895

giving the banquet and the house had
absolutely nothing to do with It, and fur
thermore sold none of the tickets. He
said he supposed that certain boarders
had private stocks OF liquors for use on
the table. lie said he had never directed
a guest to go to his room and boy would
be sent up to furnish him with liquor If
he wanted it. He had often directed
guests to where they could get drink at
various places In town. Guests had often
asked him for liquor which he had inva-
riaby refused, but of late years these re-
quests have not been so frequent as he
supposed nearly every one understood the
situation. In regard to the deposition Of
Judge Bailey of ST. Adams regarding the
converse ton they had one day in the
hotel offlce, Mr. Clark said that he didn't
believe he said what Judge Bailey de-
posed.
He said that he remembered that DR..
Goodwin of New York had stopped at the
hotel. Tho registers of the hotel were
then produced in court and the dates of
his arrivals were noted. Or. Goodwin was
registered II times in 1855 and 1886 None
of the entries showed that DR.. Goodwin
had paid for anything extra at the office
except cigars, which was plainly regis
tered.
1t was shown that p w. Clement was
registered on July IS, 1887. the time of the
cry were the only things paid for. The
other dates of Mr.. Clements visits were
looked up and 1t was found that no extras
were charged to him but what were clear
ly itemized in the register. There was nc
charge for liquor among the items. Mr.
Clements testimony was to the effect that
he had liquor charged at the time of the
medical graduation.
Mr.. Clark continued by stating that he
never played poker in the hotel and more.
over rarely played cards at all He never
gave any chips In charge of Aubrey, anG
the only box Of chips in the house was one
that was found In a room after the occu
pant had left Money was often loaned
to guests and an entry was made on the
books. In 1924 about 1925 had been chars
ed in this way, and about $3.50 in 1892 Mr.
Clark said that he never bought the liquor
used in culinary purposes but paid th'
bills on an average OF about $40 a year.

There was then discussion between the
attorneys regarding the means of com

her room they found her on the floor blood
streaming from n wound through her left
lung about an inch above the heart. Dr..

ton. The wound was probed and the To-
cation of the bullet decided upon and the
next day 1t was removed. As soon as the
patient was able, young Stanley was call
ed and a minister married them and Sun
day Dr. Newton said that although the
wound was a serious one he had hopes of
the complete recovery of his patient, who
was rapidly improving since her marriage.
