half. Ten Eyck is the only American who
has ever won at Henley The races for
the diamond sculs have been held annu-
ally for more than 80 years and previous
to this year had been won always by Eng
land with the exception of 1892 when
Ooms of Holland led the way in the final
event. Only six Americans have ever
gone across the water to try for the trophy.
Psotta, the Cornell champion, made an
excellent showing in 1850, being in a close
race in the final round. The diamond
sculls are two oars crossed, the fastening
being large diamond. The sculls are Is
inches long, of solid gold, and rest on
frame to which is attached sill 7er shields on
which the name of the victor is engraved
each year. The trophy is valued at $4,000,
and its winner must give bonds for its
return within year. Two large silver
goblets suitably engraved are given as a
permanent prize. Ten Eyck is the
youngest oarsman who ever competed for
the diamond sculs. He is Is, and is the
son of the well-knOwn professional oars
man and coach. He defeated Whitehead,
the American amateur champion, in
match race last year, and he can undoubt-
edly give any amateur in the world three
boats lengths in mile. He will return to
this country at once to compete in the
national championship races at Philadel
phia. The Englishmen, who showed they
were hard losers at the time of the Dun
raven yachting fasco, have been unfair
and unsportsmanlike in their treatment of
Ten Eyck, and the leading papers of that
country have made charges without foun-
dation concerning his amateur status.

There are stings left by the allotment of
the federal offices in Vermont that rankle
and cause grumbling, but the fact concerns
the study OF human nature rather than the
future OF politics. The Democratic party
in that state has had no leadership worthy
the name of recent years, and Davenport,
Gardner, and others are dead There is
nothing to look forward to in that quar-
ter. 1t appears that Cousin Osborne was
lavish in his promises of favors to come
when the state was "set up against Reed
and for Mckinley. Not all of these prom
ises can now be made good, although in
conspicuous instances they have been car
ried out. There are lot of ante-conven-
tion letters in evidence on this point. 1t
appears that the friends of Col. Benedict
of Burlington, who has been richly favored
with federal offices in the past, do not like
the scheme to create another customs dis
trict so as to satisfy two ambitions and
leave Col Benedict out in the cold. That
is not very serious, because the general
public is agreed that Col. Benedict may we'll
accept the fact that he has had his day.
There is more seriousness in the dissatis-
faction of the friends of Speaker William
A Lord of Montpelier over the fact that
Mr.. Martin of Brattleboro gets the district
attorneyship. Mr.. Lord has posed as the
leader of the young men against an older
established order" of rulers in the Repub-
lican party, and effort is now being made
TO stir up feeling along this line. 1t won't
last long, because all agree that Mr.. Martin
is entirely competent to discharge the du-
ties of the office. Everybody admits that
the customs district was divided for purely
political purposes, and criticism of that is
well based. Up to date Vermont has had
five consulates given her, and the cry is
for more.-SprinQfeld Republican.
Mr. Martin had the strongest endorse
ment of any of the candidates for United
States district attorney, and, to say the
least, he is the peer of any in qualifications
for the office. Why Mr.. Lord should be
considered leader of the young men as
opposed to Mr.. Martin is difficult to see.
Mr.. Martin has just passed the half cen
tury mark and Mr.. Lord will reach it two
years hence. By the way, when does a
man cease to be young?

It is wonder that the society with a

Lane of Milford, n. II. The lock boxes
are keyless, being locked by combinations,
and the call boxes are made with wire but
tons and are dust proof In the centre is
place to drop letters and papers and
money, and the stamp drawer is near the
| delivery window so as to facilitate quick
service.
The chicken stealing item last week
| proves to have been the outcome of a mis-
understanding. 1t seems that our local
butcher had bought the hens and he came
and got them one morning before the own
er was up and the owner naturally SUI
posed that they had been stolen, whicn
started the report. But 'thereby hangs
tale.' One of our reputable citizens con
sidered that the item referred to him, and
the correspondent was called anything but
good in consequence, and was so thorough
ly frightened that he probably will never
grow any more.
Some remarks have been made this week
concerning the money that the dramatic

$50 and it is in charge of the committee
elected TO see that the money was properly
disposed of. This committee would be
pleased to confer with interested citizens a.
any time upon this matter, but they do not
feel that they should design and locate a
band stand without the general approval
of the citizens. The sooner this matter is
| given attention the better, as the old band
stand is an eye sore.

WEST BRATTLEBORO.
Mrs. Margaret L. sangster,. Leetur


Mrs. Margaret +. Sangster made her first
visit to Brattleboro last Saturday. She
was met on her arrival from Northield on
the morning train by Mrs. Christine Ter
hume Herrck, through whose kindness
and personal friendship the Kings Daugh-
ters were able to secure Mrs Sangster for
the afternoon. She was taken for a drive
about the town. going as far as Mr.. Kip
lings', and was charmed with the views in
all directions.
Her talk in the afternoon at the Congre-
gational church, at West Brattleboro, on
Books and Life, y was informal, easy, sim
pie and helpful. She talked for nearly an
hour, never hesitating for a word or a sem
tence, in simple language and purest Eug-
lish, an oral lesson in the best use of
words. She described the use of books as
weapons, as a fortress, as a refuge from
ones self, and as friends, making mu5h of
the friendships we may have with them.
Children should be allowed to use them
freely, but never as mere paythings. They
should handle them carefully as if living
things that might be hurt by rough usage.
Books would never in her home be kept
locked in case, nor even behind glass
doors or curtain, but where they could
be seen and used most easily.
Mrs. Sangster commended good house
keeping and system in ones work, but de-
plored so much of either as to interfere
with some time, and daily if possible, for
companionship with books.
a good audience, of ladies mostly, list
ened to her. quite number coming up

The Kings Daughters gathered at the
parsonage at the close of the address, meet
ing Mrs. Sangster personally and giving
her the Chautauqua salute as she left them
to take the afternoon train back to North

The statement regarding the surplus in
the New Hampshire treasury led some
papers to make comparisons with Vermont
that seemed invdious. The Montpelier
Watchman makes the follow effective an
swer: "New Hampshire had a bonded
debt, June l, 1897, of S1,5s6, 500; floating
debt, 800; trust funds, $07G, ,505. SO, max
ing her total liabilities 2,2G3, 4O5. SO. The
states assets wereIS595, ,637.9l, making it's
net Indebtedness, Sl,667, 1915. Yer
liabilities are, for the most part, for tenn
porary loans an for taxes it collects from
the towns to distribute them again for the
maintenance of roads and schools. But
Vermont's resources exceed these liabilities
by the sum of $3.50, ,6l4 %, and its funded
debt is only S135, 800, which the state
practically owes to itself and it does not
count as an active liability. Furthermore,
according to the statstician of the Tri-
bune Almanac for 1897, the aggregate
debt of New ampshire-state, town, and
municipal-is IS, 14S, ,3G2; that of Vermont,
s., 7Sj, ,373."

Representative Mitchell of New York
has introduced a bill to establish a cur
rency reserve fund for the redemption of
United States notes and treasury notes of

start Sl50,0OO,0OO, of which not over $780,
100000 shall consist of gold and the re-
mainder of United States and treasury
notes. The fund shall be added to from
time to time, as the treasury's cash bal
ance exceeds $75,OOO,OOO, but shall never
aggregate more than 500, 100000. The
fund shall be used to redeem United States

A white PhysIcIan Lynchsd in Georgia.

DR.. w. L. Ryder, who murdered Miss
Sallie Emma Owen, at Talbotton Ga, a
year ago. was lynched Tuesday night by a
mob. When the case against Ryder was
called in court, Judge Hart, on the evil
dence that the leading counsel for Ryder
could not be present owing to sickness, con-
tinued the case until the regular term in
September Ryder was to have been re-
turned to MuscOgee jail and was taken to
Waverly Hall, the nearest station from
Talbotton for that purpose. A few min
utes after the deputies arrived at the sta
tion mob took the prisoner from the Of
icers and returned with him to a point
just across the county line and there
lynched him. His body was found hang
ing from a limb at dawn. The action of
the mob is ascribed to the indignation of
the people at the case being continued. 1t
is also said that friends of the prosecution
have given up all hope OF ever bringing
Ryder to the gallows by reason of his be-
ing insane, Ryder was a graduate of the
medical department of the University of
Pennsylvania.
