against the Office being created. Many
members think the states attorneys are
able and qualified to do the work and that
the official in question is not at all neces-
sary.
The proposed Office of insurance COM
missioner is also in very grave doubt. If
1t could be arranged SO the state would not
be to any expense, not a word would be
SAID against 1t, but the new salary is what
sticks.
The bill to reorgan'ze the old Central
Vermont railroad is already getting in deep
water and although it will pass in some
form, it is al ousipg wide interest and dis
cussions. The hitcn comes from the fact
that the reorganization contemplates the
freezing out OF the unsecured creditors of
whom New England is full. This raised a
great uproar as soon as it was understood
and halt was called.
While some scheme is trying to be found
to bridge the chasm the bill introduced to-
DAY charters an extension of the present
Rutland road from Burlington to Rouses
FONT. President Clement Of the Rutland
road is here with blood and red fire in his
eyes and means plain bushes. and lots of
it. The proposed road would parallel the
Central road the whole length Of the pro.
posed extension, although at some points
two or three miles apart. This bill for the
extension can hardly be in sympathy with
the Central management and today the air
is cloudy with excited and rapid railroad
talk.
The appearance of President Clement
makes four railroad presidents, virtually,
on the ground. the others being Smith,
Webb and Mccullough and in ones dreams
he can see intricate lines of railroads
stretching as far as the eye can see in
every direction.

Sunshine of Paradise Alley"

Denman Thompson's popular play seems
to hold its own and even gain in public
favor each time that it appears. 1t drew a
good crowd at the opera house last NIGHT
though it was here last season and only
complimentary remarks are heard concern
ing the manner of its production.
A. S. Mckenzie, one of the wharf rats,
is known in Bellows Falls, having assisted
the Owl club in a minstrel entertainment
last winter, and his songs were warmly
encored.
The characters Of the play were all well
sustained and the scenery was superb with
its lighted ferryboat, ripping water and
electrical effects.

Sheriff Perry Replies.

10 the Editor OF the TINES: Just a
word in reply 70 Captain Taylor's article
in the Times under date of October 18th,
10 which he Sc ms to have gotten the
impression that was trying to have tie
the public believe that he did not know
what he was talking about relative to the
bank burglary. certainly had no such
intention. i thought be was mistaken Eve
are all liable to beg and said as much.
Now, Mr.. Editor, he comes very near
convicting himself when he says I was
stuffed " too thin, etc., that it could not
have been Mccormick as he was then too
young, being only nine or ten years old.
Ii this is a fact and the captain says he
knows what he is talking about, how would
it have been with Shinborn. Extradition
papers IN my possession give copy of
our prison records at the time OF Shin
born's commitment February 9th, 1866,
placing bis age at "a year, old. which
would make him Sc years old now. The
same prison records give McCormick's age
at the time of bis commitment April %,
1886, as 40 years old, making him Gt he
was a'ive) 81 years old now. The captain
says 1t could not be Mccormick, but that
1t was Shinborn as he can prove by so
people in Bellows Falls. The above rec
ords of their respective ages was taken
from our prison records and can easily be
verified.
With these facts before the public l
leave it for them to Judge just how near
the captain comes to convicting himself Of
the charge of which he seems to think /
tried to accuse him.
Very respectfully,
II. A. PERRY.

YUKON VILLAGE IN THE DEPTH OF WINTER

At present, it is true, there is little
aside from placer deposits proven to
be of profitable value, but coal, copper
and other minerals have been found
in deposits that are worth examiha-
ton. That quartz mines will be dis
covered and opened up in this inn
mense territory there can be no
doubt.
Under present conditions not more
than one out of fifty Of the gravel
mines which have been located will
pay to be worked, yet, as costs are re-
duced and improved methods are in
troduced, most of them should yield
good profits.
There have been located in the
Klondike district nearly three thousand
claims. A small proportion-not over
one-tenth, or. at most, one-fifth of
these, it is now believed by the best
informed miners-will pay to work by
the methods now in vogue and with
wages and other costs anywhere near
the prevailing rates.
It should be remembered that tine
value of this immense territory-the
Yukon country-lies not so much in
the rich claims in the Klondike dis
trict, but in the fact that gold is much
more evenly distributed over an inn
mense area than in any other known
mining district in the world.
The worlds attention to-day is di-
rected, whenever the Yukon is men-
toned, to the Klondike district, yet it
is quite probable that the Birch Creek
district, on the American side, nearly
three hundred miles below here, will
in time produce as much if not more
gold. It is SO far as is known more
extensive, and, while the placers dis
covered are of lower grade, they all
contain considerable gold.

Dangerous Carbolic Acid.

A Board of Health warning has been
sent out in regard to the danger of
using carbolic acid, either as disin-
fectant or as cleansing wash for SIM
pie wounds. Even in an ointment it
is not safe. Local gangrene is said to
be the penalty Of too strong IN appli-
cation, or of weak application too
long applied. Another point Of infor-
nation advanced by the board is that
carbolic acid is used in surgery as a
germicide and disinfectant, and not as
a means of healing wounds; on the
contrary it would retard or prevent
their healing if used in improper
strength. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

There is a little garden about the

Hitler raises few vegetables! and
weeds and waters an old-fashioned

Hoboken, seeking free transportation
to Buffalo. In the summer of 1893. he
says, he left New York, and has visited
