It was well understood, he said, in church circles that Bishop Keane's removal was brought about by German ecclesiastic influence, and it was hoped by the same Influence that further changes in the same direction and following the same lines would follow. While he deprecated sensational newspaper talk, in this in- stance it seemed to him to have had an excellent effect, as 1t had reached the ears of Rome which had called a halt en the assaults being made by the German ecclesiastics.

With the assistance of these contribu- tions, more profitable work was done during the last three weeks of the cam paign than had been accomplished in all of the weeks in the two months preced- ing. Had similar sum been at the dis posal of the committee as early as the middle of September, Bryan would have been elected. But at all times the con tributions, or rather the amount of them
 was of such an uncertain nature that Senator Jones was compelled each Mon
 day to lay out his campaign for the week within the narrow limitations of the funds in sight While this resulted in the disadvantage of hampering his work, it brought one advantage, and that was each Saturday night, and the committee started out again on the following Mon day morning about even in its finances.

cial condition of the committee today is very flattering. It is believed that $25.- GOO would pay every bill it owes, and possibly it will not require so much. Just what the financial condition of the committee may be after all obligations are met, will be ascertained definitely in week or so, as a call has been issued that all bills be presented. Considerable criticism was made of Senator Jones du- ring the campaign but if it's origin could be known, it is probable that, in most cases, it would be discovered coming from men in various states who had asked for money to conduct the cam paign in their respective state and To- cality and had been refused by Senator Jones-for the very good reason that he didn't have it to give The national com mittee itself scarcely had sufficient funds to pay it's local expenses In Chicago, let alone assist the state committees in To- cal fights, until about three weeks before the election It then became apparent that Bryan had a chance to win, and, as soon as that seemed likely, the money began to pour in. It did not come, as falsely stated by the New York World, and other eastern Wall street organs, from the silver mine owners of the west altogether, but more than they gave was given by individuals in the middle states and in the south. The subscriptions were always in small amounts, but there were so many of them that the aggregate sum was very encouraging.

art Exhibit.

Last Saturdays issue of the Everett,
Mass, Herald contained the following ap-
precative notice of the work of a former
Bellows Falls resident:
If it be true that ''things of beauty are a
JOY forever" then it were well for the
safety of the beautiful art exhibit, given by
Mrs. Albert j. Holey to her friends last
Wednesday and Thursday at her cosy par
lors, Hampshire street, that some care
less domestic with a busting brush was not
turned loose among them with the result of
demolition thereof. The display Of hand
painted chinaware in every form of utility
and taste was the finest we have seen in
years. Mrs. Holley has a rare talent in
not only selecting fine specimens of china
ware of the choicest patterns, but OF so
decorating them with floral and still life
views, as to show her an artist of the very
first grade. In the matter of floral decora-
tons and lay figures, Mrs. Holley possesses
the true artists eye for delicacy Of effect,
and the technical skill necessary to trans
fer it to china in such manner as to bring
out every point of interest in the design.
There were on exhibition nearly $1,000
worth OF articles, everyone OF which with
three exceptions, were her own handiwork.
The rooms were thronged with critical and
appreciative guests, whose taste was quickly
shown by the number of pieces marked
