Mckinley In Vermont.

Vermonters will make the most of Pres
ident McKinley's visit to the shores of
Lake Champlain next month. Not only
has he been invited to attend the annual
encampment of the Vermont national
guard, which begins at Chester, August
8, but there is a possibility that he may
also be present at the annual meeting and
banquet of the Vermont fish and game
league, to be held at the residence of Lieut.
Gov. Nelson j. Fisk at Isle La Mott, an
island town in Lake Champlain. This
meeting was scheduled to be held this
month, but Senator Proctor intimated that
if it could be postponed until August he
was confident that President Mckinley
would try to be present, Officials of the
league thereupon arranged the change in
date.
The presidential party, including the
President and Mrs. Mckinley, Vice Presi-
dent Hobart and family, Secretary of War
Alger and family, and possibly Secretary
of the Treasury Gage and Secretary Por-
ter and family, are expected to arrive at
Bluff Point on the lake about the 2Sth, or
very soon after the adjournment Of Con-
gress. Their intention is to stay at the
point through August.

Probable Suicide at Orange.

A. Dwight Foskett, 80, respected cti-
zen of Orange, met death in horrible
manner Friday morning by being struck
by an engine on the Fitchburg railroad, he
evidently having left his home and gone to
the tracks with suicidal intent. Mrs. Eos
kett missed her husband about o'clock,
and from something he had said the day
before she suspected that something was
wrong and notified his brother. The body
was found at daybreak within few yards
of the house on the west-bound track, bad
ly mangled and disfigured. 1t is thought
that he was struck by the fast freight that
passed Orange about 3 A. NJ. lie was
married to his second wife about seven
weeks ago and was apparently happy. His
father committed suicide about % years
ago. a Mr.. Foskett was war veteran and
had been employed many years by the New
Home sewing machine company.

CURRENT AFFAIRS.
Mr. Hoar's bird Petition Resulted In
the AntI-Feather Law.


There seems to be no longer any ques-
ton as to whether the law prohibiting the
wearing of song birds feathers fer orna-
ments in Massachusetts shall be enforced
but the most interesting feature of the
news regarding the bin is the coming to
light of the petition, prepared by United
States Senator George F. Hoar, in connec-
ton with which the original bill was drawn
up. 1t was not published until Saturday.
1t is one of the most remarkable docu-
ments ever placed among the musty files of
any state house. 1t purports to be signed
by about 80 undomesticated song birds,
and is light and graceful and totally differ
ent from Senator Hoars usual Titanic
thunderbolt style.
This document so fired the members of
the House and Senate with enthusiasm
that the bill went through and was law
before the protesting feather dealers could
say caterpillar.
Chief Rufus Wade of the Massachusetts
district police sent out Saturday to all mill
liners and dealers in birds feathers cir
cular containing a copy of the act passed
by the last state legislature, and which
says in substance that neither the body nor
the feathers of Massachusetts, song birds
shall be used for the purpose of ornament
ing hats or bonnets. Chief Wade says
that he will prosecute the enforcement of
the law. Besides the circulars, the mem
bers of the state police in all parts of Mas
sachusetts have also had the text of the
law called to their attention.

WEST DUMMERsTON.

Mrs. Maria Julia Amsden, A, wife of
Sidney l.. Amsden, died at Chester the
10th inst. after six months of great suffer
ing. She was born in West Dummerston
and was married to Mr.. Amsden in 1873.
They have lived in Newfane, Dover, Land
grove, Londonderry and other places, their
home being in Chester the last ten years,
Mrs. Amsden was consistent member of
the Baptist church of Chester, and the
Order of Rebekahs were present in body
and dropped flowers upon her grave.

An Expensive Law suit.

The supreme court of New York has
just handed down decision in the Bar
bara Yagel case of Oneonta. Mrs. Yagel
refused TO pay the architects $500 because
block built for her was not finished ac-
cording to her plans and specifications
Mrs. Yagel is now the winner, but the cost
to her has been $4,000, and her oppo-
nents have spent nearly $50, 900. Several
charges of perjury on the part of people
who signed affidavits grew out of the orig
inal action, and as result two persons are
now serving terms in state prison and 9TH
ers are fugitves from justice.

Lehigh university must close its doors
unless Gov. Hastings signs the bill appro-
priating $780, for its relief. The uni
versity has existed for 30 years, but its
funds are invested in Lehigh valley rail-
road stock which has paid no dividend for
three years. The university was estab-
lished by Asa Packer and if it does not
secure relief 800 students will have TO seek
some other seat of learning or cease their
studies.
The report that the Gar has ordered the
Sultan to withdraw his troops from Thes-
sally or have Russian troops marched into
Turkey must be received with reserve
Russia has large body of troops within
two days march of the Turkish frontier,
and the knowledge of this fact would give
force to the threat, but they could move
only at the risk of stirring up more strife
than they would check. The report that
the other Powers, with the exception of
Great Britain, had consented to let Russia
act as an international policeman is still
less probable than the original story. Ger
many, for one, would not be likely to con-
sent to such an arrangement.
Gov. Taylor of Tennessee has appointed
Thomas b. Turley of Memphis United
States senator to succeed the late Senator
Harris. Mr.. Turley was born in Memphis
on April s. 1915. He attended the public
schools of Memphis up to the breaking
out of the war, when he enlisted in the
Maynard Rifles. He was wounded at Shi-
loh and in front of Atlanta; was captured
in the battle of Nashville and taken to
Camp Chase, Ohio, where he was held I'M
til March, 1865, waen he was exchanged
and returned South. After the war he
spent two years at the University of Vir-
ginia, studying law, and afterwards prac-
tised law in Memphis. He has never held
public Office. He has pronounced views
in favor of free silver and free trade.

The tariff bill was reported to the House
by the conference committee Monday
morning, and was adopted at 1915 o'clock
Tuesday morning, by vote of lS5 to l18.
An effort was made by the Democrats to
have three days set apart for the debate,
but the majority would not consent, and
the discussion of the bill occupied the
whole of the day and night session, $50
Republicans and five Democrats voting in
affirmative, and 100 Democrats and II
Populists in the negative on the question
adopting the conference report.
The work of the conference was explain
to the House by Chairman Dingley of the
WAYS and means committee. He claimed
that the conference rates on sugar are be-
low those of the existing law, but this was
denied by Mr.. Swanson, one of the Demo
cratic members.
Concerning the sugar schedule, Mr..
Dingley read from the official statement,
adding brief comments. By the new ar
rangement, about 100000 increase of
revenue would be realized, as the increase
had been placed ON raw sugars at the point
where revenue would be received and at
the same time the beet sugar industry will
still receive substantial benefit.
Mr.. Dingley expressed regret that the
