Visions of fame as governor of the old
Granite state flashed through the doctors

inquiringly, "How is it,, friend, that you

Indian Burial Ground In Congregations
Church Yard

Church Yard.
What is supposed to be the skeletons of
two Indians was unearthed in the Congre-
gational church yard Wednesday and
Thursday. Mrs. H. F. King has sold her
share in the Bellows Falls Acqueduct COM
pany, which ran to her barn in the rear Of
the Congregational church, to S. T. Coy,
and SO has laid pipe from the barn to
connect with the water pipe on School
street. While the ditch was being dug
Wednesday Henry o. King ran a spade
into what proved to be the skull of human
being. Further investigation disclosed
other bones of the skeleton; this was about
two or three feet from the surface. On
Thursday the workmen ran into another
skeleton directly under the School street
sidewalk and six or seven feet from the
surface. Bones of the leg were taken out
but no effort made to unearth the entire
skeleton. Bones from both skeletons were
taken and were examined by local physi-
clans who pronounced them the bones Of
human beings, but whose bones are they
As this ground has never been used for 6
cemetery, the only solution seems to be
that they are the bones of Indians. They
are badly decomposed, in fact, on the
verge Of crumbling to dust, and probably

dams in the early days gives credence te
the theory that'the skeletons are those O.
red men. 1t is known that the Indian.
used to fish a great deal at the Falls and
certain hieroglyphics to be seen even now
on the rocks below the toll bridge are
ascribed to the aborigines. 1t is possible
that all that section of School street in the
vicinity of the Congregational church was
once an Indian burial ground.

as rule, with American ideas and
customs. Again we have been com
petitor of the German landed classes
at home. So keenly have they felt this
rivalry that all sorts OF measures have
been resorted to in order to keep our
products out of Germany. Again the
Germans are intensely jealous of Great
Britain and desire to emulate her
colonial success, though up to the
present they have met with extremely
poor, success. "A short time ago efforts
We're being made to induce German
emigration to Africa, but this did no;
amount to much. Then attention was
turned toward South America, which il
was thought offered more promising
field. Measures to divert the stream OF
emigration from the United States to
South America We're recently adopted
by the imperial Parliament. 1t was
contended at the time that in South
America, especially in Southern Brazil
and Argentina; the Germans would
not. as they do here, lose their nation
ality but would retain their German
| customs and love Of fatherland; alsn
that they would not come into compe-
tition with Germans at home, but on
the contrary would develop a market
for German products.
In view Of all this it is not difficult
to" understand the German Emperor
hostility to our attitude in the Vene-
zuelan controversy. He would like to
| extend the German empire in South
America and he does not approve of
any Monroe doctrine botherng around
and likely to interfere with such plans.
The German emigrants have been
among the best we have had. They
| nave, until recently, come here an
nually in very large numbers. OF late
there has been falling off. partly per-
haps due to the influences employed to
| induce them to go elsewhere but chief
ly because of the hard times prevailing
here in the past two or three years.
Out of the two and a half million
| emigrants, leaving Germany from 1871
to 1896, about SO per cent. of them came
to this country. Nevertheless it is not
probable that the German government
will be able to seriously interfere with
| the disposition of emigration and the
United States has reached such stage
| of development that it need apprehend
| nothing serious resulting from Ger
new homes.

The Panama Canal.

Whether as an Offset to the talk
about the Nicaragua canal talk is be-
ing revived concerning the Panama
canal may only be conjectured Never
theess when coupled with the rumor
that the Nicaraguan project may be
abandoned and the Panama enterprise
be purchased from France for a small
part of the amount already sunk in it
there seems to be room for suspicion.
The French consul general at Pan
ANA, General Vifquain, was in this
country. last week, on his way home
to France. Speaking of what has been
accomplished on the Panama canal, he
said that contrary to general impress
sion in this country, work on the canal
is progressing, and that the indications
are that the canal, with a system OF
locks, will ultimately be completed
The general says that out of the wreck
or the failure of the canal company,
sixty million francs were available for
work, and that since that time forty
million francs have been secured from
the officers, making a hundred million
of francs, or $4,000, 600 available for
work. This is being expended in the
construction of the canal under Geo.
nomical conditions, and another hun
dred million francs only will be required
to complete the waterway between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts of FORTY
five miles. OF this twelve miles on the
Atlantic coast. is completed and three
miles upon the Pacific coast, four
wharves and docks are now in process
of construction.
All this may be correct but the like.
lihood of this country abandoning the
Nicaraguan project for that at Panama
is extremely small, for the present al
least.
