Newburg, N. Y, Sept. 20-Detectives
Dwyer and Vickers tried to arrest seven
tramps yesterday near Walls Gate. Vic
kers caught one, who dropped package
Of burglars tools. The others fled.
Vickers and Dwyer took the man be-

and fired voleys at the officers. Mi
chael Wicklow went to the detectives
assistance and was shot near the eye.
Vickers was hit in the side with a stone

ciOn.

The many St. Johnsbury citizens
who heard Gen. John B. Gordon S
patriotic lecture, Last Days of the
Confederacy", a few winters ago will
regret to learn that he is failing in
health and on that account declined
the appointment on the peace com.
mission. Gen. Gordon is splendid
example of the new South sta tesmen
and it is to be regretted that he
could not serve on the co mmission.

Literary Notes.

Two articles on 1.-The Personal
Side Of Richard Wagner" written by
his lifelong friend, Houston Stewart
Chamberlain, will appear in The
Ladies Home Journal. The articles
are sineularly valuable in that they
give complete picture of the man in
his home and daily lie, and contain
much new matter, while many of the
illustrations and portraits have never
been printed. There are two arti-
cles, His Personal Side" and How
He Wrote His Operas" and the
first one will appear in the October
number of the magazine.

Gambia, Crete, Sept. 19.-The sultan
has ordered Djevad Pasha, the military
commander in Crete, to accede to the
demand of the British admiral for dis
armament, thus complying with the
whole ultimatum of the admiral. A
British military detachment has occu
pied the entrance to the fort, and it is
rumored that the ottoman troops will
be withdrawn and a British force will,
occupy the town. Among the prisoners
already handed over to admiral Noel
are two who are credited with being
ringleaders in the attack on the British
camn.

SIM IsIOtted Ont

Boston, Sept. 20.-A stiff Southwestern,
which has been blowing over the city
since Friday, brought with it yesterday
a thick, pungent smoke that practically
blotted out the sun after 3 o'clock.
Similar reports were received from diff
ferent parts of New England, showing
the cause to be much further away
while a dispatch from Chicago seems to
lead to the belief that forest fire is
raging in the far northwest, and that
the smoke has been blown over more
than half the continent.

State superinten dent of alton.

With the election of representatives
and the approaching opening of the
State Legislature, comes the impor-
tant question, who is to be our next
State Superintendent of Education ?"
This question is one which should
command the attention of every one
who has even a passing interest in
educational matters.
The school work of state, to be
in any sense successful, needs focus
and center-a pivot on which the
the whole system shall revolve. With
out this organic center the whole
state system of education is rope
of sand. The states that have made
the most positive and conspicuous
progress in educational lines are
those in which this fact has been most
clearly recognized and in which the
school system has been of the tree
and-branches order.
The State Superintendent should
be the source Of clearer vision,
broader horizon, and greater enthu-
siasm for every teacher in the state.
He should be first of all, himself
teacher, of recognized ability and
conspicuous success in his profession.
He should be man of ideas, fertile
IN resources; not warlike in method,
yet in him should be combined clear
convictions as to enlightened meth
DDS and systems anu the courage of
those convictions.
The office is not a sinecure; it de-
mands constant study of the best
methods in other states, and even in
other countries, and the selection OF
the best for adoption wherever and
whenever practicable. 1t demands
the active application of a teaching
experience which, in point of length
and success, shall entitle its incum.
bent to the respectful hearing and
cordial cooperation of every pro-
gressive. sincere teacher in the state.
Under such broad, scholarly, ear
nest leadership grand possibilities lie
within the reach OF every state am.
bilious to excel in educational mat
tiers.
1t is not from personal motives but
from sincere desire to place Yer.
mont among the progressive states
in matters of education, that host
OF her teachers endorse for the posi-.
tion of State Superintendent OF Ed
ucation, S. W. Landon of Burling.
ton. In his attainments, conspicu-
ously successful experience as a
teacher, sincere and unselfish deyo-
ton to the educational interests of
our state, they repose complete con.
fdence, and his election to this of.
fee would afford them very great
satisfaction.

Gold Mining In San Francisco.

For over II years a gold mine has

other one disappeared on the day that

Nelson Shoots. the discoveror of the
lead, found the mine over II years ago
while trying to locate the fountain of
the gold dust found along the beach.
He was a practical miner at the time
and well verscd in all the secrets of get
ting all the gold possible out of rcfrac-
tory ores.
That he succeeded in doing this in
his Inglcside mine there is no question,
for not only did he make a good living
during the II years, but he paid So, 600
damages once for injuring the Spring
valley water main while blasting. He
and his partner lost large sums of money
at the race tracks, and they were known
as "spenders' among the resorts i'll the
