Here seems to an excellent chance
for libel suit. The Rutland Herald
of last week Thursday says:
Delegate G. G. Herrick of Dandy,
elected for Stickney, says that at Bur-
lington before the convention L. G.
Bagley of Rutland tried to buy his
vote for Grout. He says that Bagley
talked with him some time and finally
asked him for his price, outright; and
that, when he exclaimed, Bagley tried
to hush him so that he would notte over
heard. Mr.. Herrick is a man of stand
ing and substance. He told this at
Burlington and repeated it at Rutland
Wednesday. .
The Herald also, intimates that a
Bennington county delegate went home
with $500, misteriously acquired.
There is no question but stickney
had the majority Of delegates as they
were chosen by the people but enough
Of them were bought or stolen to
turn the scale against him.

Bennington county's convention, for

called for the 18th. We understand
that the mountain towns will press their
claim for a senatorship. 1t is also
said that the rest # the county is will

these towns. Unanimity Of action
seems to be all that is necessary for
them to carry off the prize. As yet we
have heard but one name mentioned
that of NJ. j. Hapgood Of Peru. The

Never Discovered Her Mi.toGe

A well-known New York lawyer tells
that ON one occasion he had taken his
seat in the elevator of a large building
down town, when lady stepped in.
Owing to the electric light being out of
order, the elevator was quite dark, and
the newcomer, surprising she was the
sole occupant. calmly sat down-on the
lawyers lap. OF course he expected her
to get up Immediately and murmur a
confused apology, but nothing of the
sort occurred. He was wearing a
heavy winter ulster, which made a
comfortable, soft seat, and the lady
rose up several stories and finally got
out without even discovering her mis-
take.

SUCCESS OF THREE SISTERS,

Open a Lunch Room.

The city of Cincinnatte possesses
a striking example of what can be
done by woman's pluck when accom-
panied by practical common sense.
Twelve years ago the Misses Stew
art, three young women who had been
reared in wealth, were by business
failures thrown upon their own re
sources.
They secured a room in business
block and established a lunch room.
where they made speciality of home
cookery. Most of the work they did
with their own hands. and the ex-
cellence of their supplies soon ere
ated demand. The little lunch
room became a success, and at the
end of five years, when the great
Chamber of Commerce building was
put up and there was to be large
restaurant connected with it, the
Misses Stewart boldly applied for it.
They were backed by many of the
best business men of the city, who
had known them in their days of
wealth and beea impressed by their
ability as business women. Their
bid was accepted, the Misses Stew
art assumed charge of the "Glen-
cairn" lunch-room, and have con
Quoted it without a break or a fail
ure for the last seven years.
The clientele is very large. For
rent and services alone the yearly ex-
penses are $4,000. The prices
charged for food are very reasonable,
yet the sisters not only paid all ex-
penses. but live in comfort and are
becoming wealthy. They have never
lost social position by going into
business, and during their entire ca
reer have never had to borrow dol
lar.

COL. THOS b. DAVIS
Will support the Chicago Nominees and
Predicts success for the Ticket.

PIEDMONT, w. Va, July 27.-Col.
Thomas b. Davis, brother of ex-Sen-
ator Henry G. Davis, says that while
he did not favor free silver, yet he is
a democrat and will support the Chi
cago ticket, and thinks that the out
look for the election of Bryan very
good indeed. He says the rural and
agricultural districts will support
the silver plank to such an extent as
to surprise the gold advocates. He
is of opinion that the money ques-
ton is over estimated, and that
more attention should be paid to
industrial interests. Col. Davis is
one of the largest coal operators in
the country, and says that the coal
interests of Pennsylvania alone is of
mere concern than the money ques-
ton, as it employs such an army of
men.
Col. Davis says he is Democrat.
and believes in the majority ruling,
and as the majority of the Demo
Gratis want free silver he is willing
to waive his personal opinion and
support Bryan and Sewall.
