The Death of A. A. MiIes.-The re-

port given in our last issue that Mr.. Miles
was found dead in bed was not correct.
He retired about 10 Q Isoex in unusually
good spirits and soon fell asleep. A few
moments later he awoke and Mrs. Miles
noticed he did not seem quite right. The
family were aroused aud help psummoned,
but he soon became unconscious and
passed peacefully away at 1O.45, the
cause being attributed to heart failure.
The funeral ceremony was held at his
late home on the old Wheeler homestead
at the -Four Corners" at 1 p. m Friday
last. Among those present were his two
brothers Frank H. and Ebert w. Miles
from Washington and his daughter, Mrs.
Auburn Taylor and family of Lowell,
Mass. There were beautiful floral trib-
utes offered, among these a pillow of
roses. and chrysanthemums with the
word Brother" from the relatives in
Washington. The service was conducted
by Rev. Thomas Tyrie, assisted by the
Imperial quartette The interment was
in the family lot at st. Johnsbury Centre.

Tuesdays Concert.-A fair audience
greeted the Lyceum Stars in Music Hall
on Tuesday evening and the Y. M. c. A.
course was opened in a most favorable
way. The concert was thoroughly en-
loved by all. Each member oil the COM
panv is an artist and the programme was
we'll balanced. Mr.. Rogers always de-
lights our audiences with his harp and
the sweet music from his instrument was
the choicest work Of the evening. Mr..
Winternitz is another old favorite and
his delicate solo work on the violin called
forth merted applause. The soprano,
Miss Corea, has fine voice of good
range and her ballad singing was par
ticularly good, The reader, Miss Suth-
erland, was very happy in her selections
and she is one of the best readers that
has ever visited st. Johnsbury. The con-
cert was opened by piano solo by Miss
Paradis, fine pianist and good accom-
PIANIST. We believe that each entertain
ment in the course will give as general
satisfaction as this concert and those
who are not patronizing the course this
year are missing good thing.

Dartmouth College Notes.-The ap

pearance OF Ben Marshall, 81, St. j. A.
'93, on the football field last Monday
afternoon for the first time this season
was hailed with applause from the by
ISLANDERS. He quickly showed his last
years varsity form, and his addition to
the number of candidates for the team
brighten Dartmouth's chances for the
championship of the triangular league
TOR the fourth successive year.
Considerable interest is exhibited here
in the political situation. canvass of
the college found 81 Mckinley, and 27
Bryan men with scattering of Palmer
and populist men. Just 100 of the
republican club made very pleasing ap-
pearance, with green sweaters, white
duck trowsers and torches, in the parade
at a republican rally at Lebanon recently.
Huckins, '97, and Patey, '9S, acted as
aids during the parade.
1t is noteworthy fact that in the
senior class which has taken the pre-
scribed course in political economy and
thus have studied the currency question
historically as we'll as the present issue
from an economic standpoint, there are
only two out Of 90 men who uphold the
silver plank in the Chicago platform
The faculty, among whom are many
strong democrats, are unanimous in
favor of Mckinley and sound money.

ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

Free Silver Side.-A Bryan and
Sewall flag was raised on Main street
near Music hall Monday evening. After
the flag raising Music hall was crowded
with an audience that wanted to bear
the silver side OF the great question
discussed. II. B. Howe acted as chair
man and in his Introductory speech
referred to the Chicago convention as a
gathering of representative American
people He said that the republicans
were conducting campaign of abuse
when they called Mr.. Bryan and his fol-
lowers anarchists and socialists. He
endorsed the Chicago platform and nomi-
nee as worthy the support OF all demo-
Gratis and then introduced Col. Stephen
w. Nickerson of Boston, the speaker OF
the evening. Mr.. Nickerson spoke about
two hours and then spent 10 minutes
answering questions. He gave history
of the demonstration ofsilver in England
and then in the United States, saying
that il was brought about through the
influence and power of millionalres who
were the only ones that were ever bene-
fitted BY it. He said that the silver dol
lar was the only honest dollar and that
only through its reconciliation could
the people of the United States again
enter upon an era OF prosperity. The
gold dollar keeps appreciation in value
and that sends prices down. The silver
dollar is a product and goes hand in
hand with other products and is there
fore the only honest dollar. In regard to
the countrys being flooded with silver
from other nations he said that other
nations had no more silver than they
needed that it couldn't be done with
profit, but that it would be mighty
good thing for this country if it should
be done. He denounced Cleveland Sena
tor Sherman, Secretary Carlisle and
Great Britain and scored New England
for tagging so far in the rear in regard to
knowledge of the money question. Mr..
Nickerson is an old and interesting
speaker but he bore down harder on
some points than good taste in handling
an audience would admit. His speech
would have gone further home if some
things had been left unsaid. Harmony
band furnished excellent music during the
evening
