insult ranked in his bosom, and when the
shades of evening had come he wendell bis
way homeward and as he neared his home
thinking every second OF what he would,
could or must do, he happened to think of
his loving wife, with this new thought he
fastened into her presence and kissed her.
This unusual demonstration surprised the
good woman, Just like man, when they

New York World Discovers Conspiracy
Fall Mountain Paper Company Said to b
In It-Great Smoke Over Little Fire.


Fall Mountain Paper Company Said to he
In It-Great Smoke Over Little Fire.
The New York World supposed it had a
monopoly of sensational journalism until
the New York Journal was purchased by
the young Californian millionaire; since
then its publisher has been forced to share
this questionable honor.
Several months ago this paper exposed
what it called a dark conspiracy ON the
part of paper manufacturers it was to torn
trust to regulate output and prices and
put Hon. w. a. Russell at the head Of the
movement At that time the World de,
voted five or six columns profusely illus
trated to the matter. Augustus King, q
son OF Col. G. L. King, who formerly lived
in Bellows Falls. gets credit for having had
finger in the write up.
The latest discovery of the World il
that the prominent paper manufacturers O.
New York and New England met in Bos
ton last week Tuesday to compete the or
eanization of the trust. The Fall Noun.
tain Paper company of this place and thu
Olcott Falls company are the onei
in Vermont named as being in tn,
combination. The men foremost in the
movement are said to be: William Russell
of the Fall Mountain company, A. Pagen
stacker of the Hudson River company
Hugh J. Chisholm of the Otis Falls com
pany, Garrett Schenck Of the Rumforc
Falls company, H. M. Knowles, J.. L.
Norton, j. L. Hobson and William E
Spiers. 1t is believed they represent 8
combined capital of $35, 100000.
A writer in 1.-The Paper Mill' has an
swered the Worlds attack in an admira
BILE manner. He says.
The cold fact is simply this: Very many
things have co-operated during the past two
or three years to cut all the profit out o
the business Of manufacturing news paper
| do not mean this statement to be taker
relatively or fguratively; mean it to b.
| taken literally. 1here is absolutely nj
money in manufacturing news paper to
day. 1t is absolutely necessary that some
thing shall be done to improve the condi
ton of that branch of the industry. Tn,
manufacturers who are now in conference
believe that something can be done, ant
what they propose to do is to centraliz'
the selling Of their product in such man
ner as to cut down the expense of selling
in the way of salaries, commissions, rent
and travelling expenses, and to cut dow
the expense of railway freights to the low
est possible point.
Regarding the probability that congress
will remove the duty on paper and pull
the writer says.
Foreigners couldn't sell paper in Ne,
York city in competition with America
paper, even if the duty were removed, an
the best proof of that is that America
now selling news paper in London, and a
far away as Australia, by the sbiplc ad, i
competition with the foreig On manufacturers
If the foreigners cannot keep Anne, ica
paper out OF London when Americans pa
the freight, they certainly cannot compel
in New York, when they themselves vii
have to pay the freight.

LET THE TARIFF ALONE.

Tho New York Times is greatly eyer-
cised less Major Mckinley NAV ottamnt
TO replace the present tariff with that
which bears his name, and which was
repudia;cd by the people in 1899. II
cites the fact that he was nominated nc
the foremost representative of high pro
tective tariff legislation, and not be-
cause ne had been consistent advocate
OF sound money. 1t thinks. therefore
that its Republican friends mus. 500
that his election and the events immc
diately preceding it have laid what is
known as McKinleyism on the shelf.
The people do not want it, and The
Times is of the opinion that they will
not have it.
1t also recalls what was openly charg-
Ell at the time, that the candidates
speeches at the beginning of the cam
paign were fun OF tariff arguments and
that some of them We're based upon as
sumMions not warranted by facts. This
attitude of Major Mckinley greatly
alarmed the Republican leaders. who at
once found means TO turn him from his
| Idol; otherwise all would have been
lost. Our contemporary asserts that he
was forced TO turn away from the :ariff,
which had ceased to be an issue, and to
use almost exclusively arguments in ia
vor of sound money. The Times erie,

HOW TO TEST OYSTERS.

a gentleman in Washington VIII,
claims to be an exper. in determinin;
the condition of an oya.cr. tells report
er Of the Star. of that city. that the onl,
true way to tell good bivalve is by tn,
small end. He. says:
There IS something about the
smell of an oyster that indicates It's
condition 20 me much pla.ne: than
does the taste"
Il can tell what price n load of
oysters will be rated at wnen they
arrive AT the wharf here by OMEN
ing up the hold of the boat and
smelling. In eight cases out of ten
am right. 1t strikes oystermen as
strange when they see persons going
about from boat to boat, as they lie
at the wharf, tasting oysters bero:e
they conclude to buy. Taste is all
right. but If they don't smell right
they will never taste right"
Without going into ;hc reasons ana
the whcrcfores. i. is not out OF place to
say that the oyster, which does not smell
right is unfit to eat Everybody knows
his. and, therefore, the informa ton
which the Washington expert furnishes
IS not new.

The Washington Times contends that
Consul-General Lees coming home
from Cuba means more than merely Il
visit to his family, although nothing
has been said by General Lee to indicate
that such is n fact 1t thinks that the
majority of the people associate his pre-
sence in this country with the prepara-
ton of the Presidents message. or rath-
cr that portion of 1t which will deal
with the Cuban question. This may be
true, and probably is true. but suppose
that 1t is what then? 1t is perfectly
natural that the President should talk
the question over with the Consul Gene
raj, and 1t can easily be understood that
he can get clearer idea from n per-
sonal interview with the General than
by correspondence with him. especially
If the Generals memory is fortified with
mcmorandums. but The Virginian does
not believe that he has been called home
for that specific purpose.
However. 1t will not be long before
the Presidents message will be sent in
To Congress and then the true cause OF
General Lees homecoming will be
known.
