England has abandoned her claim to
Trinidad and acknowledged Brazil's right
to the island. The only ground for her
claim was the non-Occupancy of the insu-
lar rock, and its convenience as a cable
station. She seized it for the latter pur-
pose last year, contrary to the protest of
the Brazilian authorities. Subsequently
she offered to submit her claim TO arbitra-
tion-an offer which was promptly reject
ed by Brazil. The kind offices of Portu-
gal were finally accepted by both parties,
and the decision was in favor of the South
American claimant. One more occasion
for dispute is thus removed. The British
cable company will be permitted to lease
land on the island for a station.

A Coinage Query.

. dollar be a dollar, honest coin without de-
ceit,
One may melt it, one may smelt it, but its value
wont retreat.
Melt ten dollars, silver dollars, in a proper melt
ing pot,
And the silver slug resulting sells for only five
the lot
Melt gold dollars, melt an eagle, in the self same
melting pot,
And the golden slug resulting quickly sells for
ten the lot.
Will you tell me- kindly tell me, how these dollars
equal are,
If a little glowing furnace puts ON only one a
scar?
There was never yet equation that demanded leg
islation to prove its right to be;
Equation is equation or else fallacy.
And I'm thinking, quietly thinking, that a poor
man has poor sense,
If he votes to have dollar that will melt to fifty
cents,

SPORTING.
RrattIeboro II. Putney IL.


The Putney aggregation gave the local
players a bad fright on the home grounds
Saturday. Smith started to pitch for the
visitors, but was an easy mark. Eight
scores were made off him in two innings,
the result of eight singles, four bases on
balls and two errors. "Warn," who is
Charles Black, the Nashua professional,
was then called in to pitch. He was very
effective and had the Putney team had him
in the box all the game the result would
probably have been different. Chas. Cox,
the old Vermont Academy pitcher, played
his first game of the year. He struck out
Is men and puzzled all of the Putney
players except Warn and Blake, the latter
a Bellows Falls boy. In the last inning
Putney needed three scores to tie the game.
Warn drove the ball out for what looked
like home run, but Dowley fielded so
fast that he only reached third. Roberts
struck out, Houghton's hit brought Warn
home and the former stole second and
scored on Blake's single, which Stoddard
failed to stop. Cox caught Blake mapping
at first and w. S. Aver ended the game by
three lunges into the ambient
Ware played a fine all-around game,
fielding perfectly, hitting hard and stealing
three bases. johnson as usual welded
the ash with telling effect. Sullivan, a
young player from Chicopee, was failure
as short stop. His misjudgment in throwing
to third instead of first in the seventh in
ming, cost five scores. Perry's fielding and
base running were noticeably good. Waite
and w. Z. Aver were below their usual
standard in catching.

A trial was recently made in Austria to
decide in how short time living trees could
be converted into newspapers. AT Elsen-
thai, at 1885 in the morning, three trees
were sawn down; at 9:34, the wood, hav-
ing been stripped of bark, cut up and con-
verified into pulp, became paper, and passed
from the factory to the press, whence the
first printed and folded copy was issued at
10 o'clock. So that in 145 minutes the trees
had become newspapers.

A Perfect Woman.

When Sam Jones was holding his meet
ings in Dallas, on one occasion he said {:
"There is no such thing as perfect man.
Anybody present who has ever known
perfect man, stand up"
Nobody stood up.
"Those who have ever known perfect
woman, stand up"
One demure little woman stood up.
"Did you know an absolutely perfect
woman?" asked Sam, somewhat amazed.
81 didn't know her personally" replied
the little woman, "but have heard great
deal of her. She was my husbands first
wife, Texas Sitter.

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Arrested For Fraudulent Dealings


S. T. Spencer, piano tuner, who
claims to come from Burlington, was ar
rested Monday night by Officer Killilea at
Turner's Falls. Spencer has been working
dead-beat games for some time, and Sun
day City Marshal Philbrick came from
Keene to look for him. DR.. Best was en-
countered and asked to cash a check on
Connecticut bank. The man claims to be
a Mason and said he wanted to borrow
money to get to Burlington. The doctor
invited him to step into his office and
while they were talking the officers came
and took him away. He had unpaid bills
at the Millers Falls Inn, the American
House at Greenfield and at the Montague
hotel. Spencer was in the sewing machine
and organ business at Bennington last
February and skipped from that town,
leaving his wife and two children.

Vastness of st. Peters.

The building is so far beyond any famil-
lar proportions that at first sight all details
are lost upon its broad front. The mind
and judgment are dazed and staggered.
The earth should not be able to bear such
weight upon its crust without cracking and
bending like an overloaded table. On each
side the colonnades run curving out like
giant arms, always open to receive the ma
tions that 60 up there to worship. The
dome broods over all, like giants head
motioness in meditation.
The vastness of the structure takes hold
of man as he issues from the street by
which he has come from SAINT Angelo. In
the open space in the square and in the ell
lipse between the colonnades and on the
steps, 200, 900 men could be drawn up in
rank and file, horse and foot and guns.
Excepting it be on some special occasion,
there are rarely more than two or three
hundred persons in sight. The paved
emptiness makes one draw breath of sur
prise, and human eyes seem too small to
take in all the flatness below, all the
breadth before, and all the height above.
Taken together, the picture is too big for
convenient sight. The impression itself
moves unwieldily in the cramped brain. A
building almost 500 feet high produces a
monstrous effect upon the mind. Set down
in words, description of it conveys no
clear conception; seen for the first time,
the impression produced by it cannot be
put into language. 1t is something like a
shock to the intelligence, perhaps, and not
altogether pleasant one. Carried beyond
the limits of a mere mistake, eXaggeration
becomes caricature; but when it is magni.
fed beyond humanity's common measures,
it may acquire an element approaching ter
ror. The awe-striking giants of mythology
were but magnifed men. The first sight
of st. Peters affects one as though, in the
everyday streets, walking among ones fell
lows, one should meet with man 40 feet
high.-The Century.

near the Luuenburg depot. One knocked
him from his bicycle, but he regained his

robbers took from Perkins $50. He had
$40 in a watch pocket that they did not
find. He can give no description of the

Inc reason why the law meets with so

the subject of pensions. Then it was that
he made a declaration truly anarchistic
