1t is not probable that there will be any
preliminary hearing in the case of Martin
Nokes of Worcester, who is now confined
in the county Jail at Montpelier on the
charge of child murder. Such proceed
ing would result in binding over Nokes,
his wife, and Emma Jones, the mother of
the murdered child, to await the action of
the grand jury in September, and as such a
case is not baiable they would all three be
confined in Jail until the grand jury meets
in September. Nokes is now safe, there is
no danger that the women will attempt Ia
escape, and for this reason counsel for the
respondent will not argue any preliminary
hearing, but will let the case go to the
grand jury direct.
At meeting of the Bennington histori.

cemetery in Bennington Centre, suitably
engraved to mark the burial-place of those
who fell in Bennington battles and were
buried in that cemetery. The inscription
to be placed on the stone will read as fol
lows: "Around this stone lie buried many
patriots who fell in the battle of Benning
ton, August 16, 1777. Also, here rest the
Hessans who died from wounds after the
battle. They were brought from the field
as captives and confined in the first meet
ing-house built in Vermont, which stood
on the green in front of the burying
ground"

WILMINGTON.
Was Born in Wilmington.

Abel S. Smith, who died in Portsmouth,
n. H., July 2, was born in Wilmington
Nov. 20, 1910, and received his education
in the public schools and at Bennington
academy. In 1890 he took up the profess
sion of teaching and taught the school in
Kingston and other towns in New York

Bangor, Me-, and began business as a ship
ping merchant, carrying on trade by means
of schooners sailing between Bangor and
New Orleans. In 1887 he went to New

1t is the most astounding thing that
no team of American athletes can go tc
England without getting over-trained.
Even clever and experienced Bob Cook
has made this error, it seems. 1t is
impossible to train a crew in England
as it would be trained in America, and
it seems clear that the English method
of training, the result of decades of eX-
perience, must doubtless be that best
suited to their climate. But this sim

for Bob Cook.

He Calls II God.

Man Is placed into universe, in the
immensely of which he is but an in
finitesimal speck. Creation, power,
force, law, will, harmony, intelligence
surround him, which are not of human
make, or under human control, or even
within human grasp. They point to a
power outside of man, one which is in
fnitely greater than he. With eyes to
see, with ears to hear, with mind to
reason, with conscience to feel, he
cannot shut out these facts from his
consciousness nor help drawing the con-
clusion that somewhere, somehow,
there Is some creative and governing
force, supremely powerful and wise,
which he designates by various names
In our tongue he calls It God. Rabbi

The business of the great Manches-
ter Ship Canal is looking up, accord
ing to report to the State Department
by United States Consul Gpinnell at
Manchester, and on the basis of his
figures he feels that the prospect of n
more general and an increased bust
ness from the United States direct to
Manchester by the canal seems as
sured. During the first three months
of this year 67,3S9 bales of cotton ar
rived from the United States, greater
quantity than arrived during the entire
two years since the canal opened. Jan.
1, 1894. 1t is thought that a part of
the great American cattle and pro-
vision trade may be diverted to Man

The boom in the bicycle trade gives
a good deal Of uneasiness to large man
ufacturers and tradesmen in other
lines. 1t is claimed that last year the
bicycle took from other trades about
SIP 100000. The livery business and
carriage trade has suffered enormous
ly. In the great cities the theater men
complain that their receipts are much
reduced, as the people prefer bicycle
riding to attending the theater. The
candy-makers say the riders buy less
candy than before they rode, and other
merchants assert that the bicycle is
responsible for the lessened sale of
books, cigars and even beer and other
beverages. One big firm estimates that
the wheels to be manufactured this
year will number about 100000 and
that the average cost to the consumers
will be SIS per wheel. But this appears
too high, as very good wheels are sold
for a much less price. However, what
money is lost to other trades is mere
ly diverted to another channel. There
seems to be positive gain to the
country in the lessened use of intoxi-
cants, and we are or the opinion that
the general public will not take to
heart the plant of the saloon-keeper
that the bicycle Is depriving him of a
good part Of his trade.
1t is claimed that the strength of the
Allied ti-Cigarette leagues all over
the country is something tremendous.
In fact the leaders in this scheme pre-
tend to say that within a short time
they will have acquired SO mapv allies
that they will be enabled to -egi. a
more public fight of the question as to
whether the little paper cigarettes shall
be entirely obllterated from the rec
ords of modern life. However, to the
unprejudiced observer their efforts
have borne no actual fruit as yet for
cigarettes seem rs plentiful as ever
heretofore.
