Life Companies

Bellows Falls, June 22.-The annual re-
port of the Vermont insurance commits
sioners to the governor, which Is now in

There are 80 companies now authorized

panies -Four companies withdrew from
the State and none were admitted.
OF 345 fires reported 70 them 80 were re-
ported as incendiary and 10 from prevent
able causes.
The report for 1896 is thus far much bet
ter, there not having been one-half the
amount of loss as during the same months
of 1895.
The report shows % life insurance COM
panies of other States authorized here and
two homo companies. These took premi-
ums in the State last year Of $9S9, $50 upon

His support of Hobart-Convon-
tion Gossip.

st. Louis, Mo-, June 19.--Chauncey NJ
Depew will never have q moro flnttering
opportunity to contest for vice-prcsi-
dental nomination than was presented to
him yesterday 1t was a part of the we'll
founded gossip about the Southern Hotel
last night that an earnest effort was made
at one stage of yesterdays proceedings
to induce Mr. Depew to permit his ram0to
60 before the convention for second hon
ors. From the moment of his arrival in the
hall until an adjournment was reached
ten hours later, Mr.. Depew was one Of the
most conspicuous of the many distinguish
ed men present. His first appearance on
the floor was the signal for vigorous hand
clapping, both from the spectators in the
galleries and the nine hundred and odd
delegates. These cordial manifestations
of popularity were frequently repeated
So frequently was this the case that 1t be-
came obvious that those present desired
to improve every opportunity to Indicate
in this manner their affection for the
great New York republican. This was
consplcuously so when at the close of the
day he arose for the last time to second
the motion to make McKinley's nomina-
ton unanimous. 1t was followed by a
wave OF applause of great intensity and
duration than any which had preceded It,
1t was these evidences of popularity
which led some of Mr. Depew's enthusiasts
VIC llehus III CERTAIN vi tue ueieSutiolS
to request permission to nominate him
for the vice-presidency. While he was
manfestly flattered at the sincerity of
purpose displayed by these gentlemen, he
does not appear to have been at all In
fiuenced by the suggestion. He declined
any suggestion of his name in connection
with the second place and while discourage
ing all efforts In that direction, quietly
used his influence with the New York dele
gates to support the Eastern candidate.
Mr. Hobart of New Jersey.

FLOWER HATS.

Flower hats are still all the rage, and,
strange to say the artificial flower Keeps
pace In kind with the spring blossoms APP

one was wearing violets artificial ones and
real ones; and now hardly a violet of either
kind is to be seen. In its place we have
lilacs and glorious red tulips that blossom
early. charming broad-brimmed hat OF
lacc-like black straw IS simply loaded
with lilacs in both white and purple. pos
sessing the most natural-looking stems.

strings this season They make the chap

strange to say. they appear on hats and
not on toques or bonnets. However. they
are specially lovely and becoming made of
two shades or colors OF tulle and tying
a huge bow under the chin. A bunch of
flowers Is sometimes added to the bow.
Small flowers are used to make whole
hats, and If lightly arranged are charming

Montpelier, VT, June 22-J. II. Moore, a
supposed wealthy New orleans livery man
registered at the Exchange Hotel last
Friday, then started off fishing and has
mysteriously disappeared He came over
the Wells River road and registered at
the hotel for dinner left his grip and
clothes and clad in fishing garb, was
driven to the Barre transfer and started
fishing down the Winooski river Nothing
has been seen of him since. He expressed
an intention of remaining in this locality a
week and with friends, who he said, were
coming later in the day and spend the time
fishing. 1t Is thought he may have fallen
into the river and been drowned.
1t has been intimated that he employed
this as a ruse to elude the consequences
of some criminal act. The authorities are
instigating proceedings to locate him. The
case promises to be interesting inasmuch
as he is mentioned as being wealthy
resident of New Orleans. La. and inquir-
les for him are expected hourly.

PLATT SEEKS COMFORT.
Congratulatos Himself on the Adoption Of
tho Gold Plank.

th0 ooiu 'hhhs
St. Louis, June 19.-Thomas C. Plat said
last night after the convention: Like
a good soldier and good republican, l
accept the situation and will support the
ticket heartily, and believe it will be elect
ed. There has been much In the contest
to dishearten republicans who have not
been in accord with the men who have
become masters of the situation. Our
friends are satisfied with the report of
the efforts In compelling the adoption OF q
gold standard platform. That Is OF more
Importance TO tho success Of the ticket
and the prosperity OF the nation than all
the rest
1T Is conceded that the controlling ele-
ment of the New York delegation led to
the movement. and was instrumental In
accomplishing this object AS for the
head of the ticket no one doubts that he
will stand upon the platform that the
convention has adopted, and carry out
the principles therein enunclated. What
ever may have occurred In the past feel
confident that he will govern himself by
the wishes of tho people so clearly ex-
pressed In the gold standard platform.
1.-THE nomination of Mckinley reflects
the aggregated popular will of the republi-
can party. and his candidacy will grow
in public favor day by day as the election
approaches. When inaugurated, as he will
surely be. he viii safely. wisely and Justly
administer our great affairs. He deserves
and Will have the cordial and hearty sup
port OF tho country. Iowa will join In
that support and give him q largo ma
jority Of her votes on election day.
1.-The nomination Of Garrett A. Hobart
of New Jersey for vice-president Is an
eminently fitting one. He lives In the
midst of State naturally republican,
but, In the past not always reliably so.
He Is lawyer Of distinction, popular In
MS state as citixen. He has been for a
long time member of the national re-
publican committee. He has wide ac-
quaintance with the public mon Of the
country, and is familiar with national af-
fairs. He will bring to his associates in
tho Senate safe and prudent counsel and a
wise judgment"
