DEATH OF WILLIAM HARRISON FERRY

William Harrison Ferry, 8 life long res ident of the town, was stricken with pa ralysis, last Sunday evening. When he retired for the night he appeared to go into an unconscious state and has been gradually failing since and probably will not survive many days. Mir Ferry is S4 years old and has enjoyed good health through life. It was only short time since he told neighbor he would prob ably drop away suddenly some day. Up to his present illness he has been uncom- mon clear in his mind and related events that has transpired during his life time with great ease. He was always good company and generally looked on the bright side of life. Later-Mr Ferry died Tuesday night. The funeral will be attended on Friday afternoon.

THE SCHOOL BUILDING EXCITEMENT.

The agitation of the school question causes quite 8 little excitement in this quiet village. Three ladies have already been made voters. The question is shall we have new schoolhouse or repair the old one. At the school meeting held Tuesday, February g, it was voted to ad- journ till Saturday evening, March G.. Some four years ago new windows and modern style seats were put in the pres ent school building and doubtless 1t is necessary for some further repairs to make it comfortable for the children. The majority of the taxpayers think it unwise to build new schoolhouse dur ing these hard times and also with the prospects of consolidation of all our schools in the near future. An assess ment on property holders in many cases would come hard for new school build ing.

WHALE FISHERIES.

A table prepared by the bureau of
statistics of the Treasury Department
exhibits the products of the whale
fisheries taken by American vessels
and fishermen and brought into the
United States during the year ended
June 30, 1897.
These products are now brought
into the United States at but four
ports-Brunswick, Ga; New Bedford,
Mass; New York and San Francisco.
Their value for the year was $702, 400,
of which the greater part, 500, 433, is
recorded as having been entered at
the port of San Francisco. The New
England ports are scarcely any long
err to be considered as in the business,
the bulk of whaling being done in the
Pacific, where the vessels engaged, for
the most part, carry the oil and the
whalebone to Honolulu, whence they
are brought in other vessels 10 San
Francisco.
Included in the list of whale pro-
ducts for the year are nine pounds of
ambergris, two of which, entered at
New Bedford, are valued at $3.50, and
seven at the port of New York, So 400

Those pains so commonly

In this climate you need a

MALT MURINE might

TRANSLATION OF METALS.



! Three metallurgical experts, selected by
the Secretary OF the Treasury for the pur-
pose, have just concluded an exhaustive
series of experiments with a process in
vented by a man named f. e. Br!ce, which,
he claims, will produce or create silver and
gold from the baser metals, including
chemically pure antimory. Mr. Brce APP
pied for patent on his invention, and the
application WAS held up pending an inves;i-
CATION as to the merits of his alleged dis
covery. the experiments were conducted
| in the laboratory attached to the Treasury
Department by committee, consisting of
Andrew Mason, superintendent of the New
York assay Office, ID. X. futile, melter and
| refiner at the Philadelphia mint, and Ca
bell w head, asSayer at the Washington
mint bureau. They had great difficulty in
securing antimony and lead which did not
contain appreciable quantities of gold and
silver.
The experiments were conducted strictly
according to Mr.. Brice's directions and u:i-
der his personal supervision, notwithstand-
Ing which, according to the report OF the
committee, only negative results were OBJ
tanned.
The report gives detailed account of the
operations TO test the process and sums UP
the results as follows:
During these experiments, which haze
now extended over some three weeks, and
have involved an amount of painstaking
labor which We hope has not been entirely
wasted, We have seen not ehe slightest
evidence of any creation transmutation.
On the contrary, the claimant failed In
every instance TO recover the entire amount
of silver and gold known to be present in
the materials. The claimant seems to have
devised variety of irrational and wasteful
methods for recovering a portion of the
silver and gold known to metailurgists as
being present in many commercial metals,
such as antimony and lead
What Mr.. BrIce Says.
Mr.. E. c. Brice, in conversation with n
Star reporter today, said: AT the request
of the commissioner of patents the Secre-
tary of the Treasury directed commits
sion of his subordinates to test a process
for creating gold and silver from base
metals, an application for patent for which
was filed in the patent office by me.
THE first days tests were made by me
and favorable results. The commission
alone tried the process and failed. They
insisted upon using tartar emetic, a salt
of antfmony. which they were pos lively
told not to use, and which they were told
was inimical to the process. They were
asked to use a special apparatus, which
would yield best results. but refused for
fear of explosion, though they were as
sured that such had been in successful use
for some time. The commission did not
nor proceed under ii according to my in
structions. When they persisted in using
tartar emetic, and / protested against its
use. they refused to proceed further
These tests were not sought by ne,
but were asked Of one department Of the
government for another on account OF bet
ter facilities, and / am neither responsible
for the miscarriage of the tests nor for
the abortive attempts made by commits
sion refusing to carry out my process"
