the two iron bridges with new. This has
not been done for years, and it had looked
badly for some months. Workmen have
also been putting in steam radiators and
piping for warming the passenger station
with steam instead of stoves as in former
years. The steam is brought from the old
boiler in the repair shop at the round
house.
The death of Mrs. Geo. w. Henry,
which occurred early Thursday morning at
her home on South street, came suddenly
and unexpectedly, although she had been
in frail health for some time. Her sister,
Mrs. Newman of Brattleboro, happened to
be with her at the time. The facts in re-
gard to her life and family connection are
given in the Brattleboro local column.
The family had lived here about Is years.
Mrs. Henry was a woman esteemed and
beloved by all who knew her. She was a
member of the Bellows Falls Congrega-
tional church and was actively identified
with the work of the Woman's Relief
corps. The burial will be at Brattleboro
where two children were buried.
Complete arrangements for securing the
election news as promptly as possible are
being made here. The New England Tel
ephone IL Telegraph company have divid-
ed New England into eight districts with a
central point for distribution to all other
points readily reached from there. Bel
lows Falls is the central point for a large
territory numbered 8. Returns are TO be
received here by telegraph and manifold
copies enough to use on all the telephone
lines out of here promptly. They are to
be telephoned from here to nearly all
points in Vermont and New Hampshire,
the only other distributing points in the
two states being Wells River and Concord,
n. H. A Western Union wire is being
run into the telephone Office here and a
special operator will be in attendance there
all the afternoon and night of Tuesday,
with four or five extra telephone operators.
Word comes here from Texas showing
Mrs. Hetty Green and her son Ned to be
deeply interested in political matters, and
with large personal interests at stake Ned
is chairman of the state Republican com
mttee and has his headquarters for the
campaign at Dallas. He talks very en-
Enthusiastically of his chances of carrying
the state for the Republican party. 1t is
said that his mother has dipped deeply into
her "barrep' this year, more so than ever
before on account of their entertaining the
hope that Ned will be elected governor.
He is the Republican nominee and claims
coalition in the state between the Popu-
list party, which is strong there, and his
party, which will make a combination
large enough to overcome the heavy Dem
ocratic majority which the state has given
for many years. The results are awaited
with much interest because the family is
so well known here. The mother and the
rest of the family left here two or three
weeks ago for their winter home in New
York, and Mrs. Green is now in Texas as.
ssting Ned in steering his campaign.

The Island literally De.oI.,s.

A letter received from an American res
ident in Cuba, woman, says: You can
not imagine the state of affairs in this I'M
happy country. The island is literally des-
olate. Everything is burned and destroyed.
II is impossible to do any business or earn
dollar and the people of this once rich
country are literally dying of starvation.
We know not what the end will be, but the
present conditions are desperate. Ameri-
lean citizens arrested are shot down with
out the semblance of trial, the murders
always being done outside of the cities.
The Spaniards start out with the prisoners,
claiming that they are to remove them to
other cities, but they shoot them down and
then claim the prisoners attempted to es-
cape. Cubans are winning nearly every
battle, and will certainly win their contest
for freedom

Three cases of "moonblink' occurred on
the British steamship Acanthus, which
reached Philadelphia the other day. AT
ter the lowlying hills fringing the shores
of Batavia from view on the afternoon of
July II for 80 days her crew of 60 officers
and seamen saw no land, sighted no vessel
and encountered no storm. Among the
crew are three seamen who, during the
run across the Indian ocean, suffered terri
ribly from sudden blindness at night, the
result of that strange disease of the eyes
prevalent in the tropics, and known to
sailors as "moonblink." One bright,
moonlight night, while the Acanthus was
steaming across the Indian ocean, one of
them finding his berth in the forecastle too
uncomfortably hot went out and lay upon
the deck. The moon was nearing her full
and shone almost directly overhead. When
the watch was changed at midnight he was
awakened and was Mortified to find him
self blind. At first the captain thought
the man might be shamming to avoid go
ing on duty, but an investigation was
made, and it was found that he could not
see, although his eyes were wide open.
The calamity was at once diagnosed as a
case of "moonblink," and the captain
cautioned his men against running such
risks. When day began TO break sight be-
gan to return, and by sunrise he could see
as well as If nothing unusual had happen
ed. All of that day the case formed the
chief topic of conversation and when night
came two more men determined to test the
effect of the moon. After a two hours
nap in the full glare of the moon both
men were awakened totally blind. An or.
der from the captain prevented any furthei
experimenting in that line during the rest
of the voyage.

The Senate's NestOr.

The reelection Of Hon. Justin S. Morrill, TO his
sixth consecutive term in the United States Sen
ate was a graceful and proper recognition of past
public services and a well-deseryed tribute TO
present worth. distinction and fitness for con
tinued usefulness in the same capacity. The
whole country smiles approval II Is not only an
honor to Vermont, but TO the whole nation that
this remarkable but still wise and strong states
man is to continue his part in the conservative
branch Of the national legislature where such
men were never more needed than now. Mr.
Morrill,, we believe, Is older than any other man
elected TO the United States Senate, at least
for full term. Hon. J. W. Bradbury OF Maine
is % years old and the last survivor of the Senate
in which he served, he being elected so years ago
But Mr. Morrill's term of active service TO which
he has just been chosen will carry him a yeaI
ahead OF Mr. Bradbury's attainment, even as 6
retired member of that honorable body.

Ex-aovERNoR FULLER.
AppreciatIve Tributes from the Music
Trade.

Trade.
The music trade papers of last week all
contained extended sketches of ex-Gov.
Fuller's life with personal tributes to his
memory. Many of these tributes are no
table for the appreciative perception which
they reveal of those qualities which made
Gov. Fuller leader in whatever business
or project engaged his attention. John G.
Freund, editor of the Music Trades, writes
in signed article: ellis career was repre-
sentative, in the best sense, of the oppor-
tunities for success afforded by our insti-
buttons. The truth is that the
really great men of the world accomplished
what they did by almost superhuman eff
fort, and in the face of difficulties, sorrow
and disappointment so serious as 10 deter
the majority from pressing on. Such a
life was that of Levi X. Fuller"
VIM. NJ. Thoms, editor of the American
Art journal, writing also over his own sig
nature, says:

steal trade TO the eXgencies OF political life fire.

lumined the American music industries"
The Musical Courier, in its notice,
counts among many commendable traits,
the fact that Gov. Fuller was an enthu-
siast. This quality was shown in very
ma rked way in his work for International
p itch. In the great organ case "the Estey
company's lawyers were unanimous in
their praise of Fuller's marvellous detailed
work, which proved of unusual value, not
only for this purpose, but for future gen.
eral application. Much of this kind of
work and scientific elaboration done by
Fuller will never be known, for it was
done in the isplation of study and for the
purpose of acquiring knowledge. The YER
satility of the man was remarkable. Very
| few of the living subjects of thought es-
| capped his keen observation, and in many

William Steinway, the head of the great
New York piano house, said in an inter-
view: "Leyi X. Fuller's was a strong per-
sonality which could not but command the
admiration of all who knew him. He was
above all conscientious, painstaking man,
endowed with an infectious enthusiasm,
and possessed of vast fund of technical
knowledge. l, for my part, consider his
death great loss to the musical world,
and deeply mourn the fact that he was not
spared another decade to continue the good
work he had so nobly begun"
The Boston Music Trade association
adopted resolutions in which tribute is
paid to Gov. Fuller as "a man who, in
honoring himself and his state, has con-
ferred reflected honor on his associates
and members of the piano and organ in.
