Books for Practical Use.

Young men or others who desire to be-
come good carpenters will find two little
volumes OF value recently placed in the
free library. One of them is entitled" Car
pentry Made Easy" by Bell; the other,
1.-The Steel Square" by Hodgson. These

the publishers for the library as likely to
prove of practical use.
Another book is entitled 1.-The A B c of
Bee Culture" by Root. 1t shows how to
manage bees with profit and is very ex-
haustive on the subject. Properly man
aged even boy could earn pocket money

the abilities and advance of the colored
race call on the librarian for "The Black
Phalanx" by Wilson or 1.-The Suppression
of the African Slave Trade" by Dubois,

standing that he should resign at any time
the board sees fit to ask him to do so.
The only event in which he will be asked
to resign is the election Of a superintendent
who will devote all his time to supervision,
and this is an extra expense that the boar d
are unwilling to incur at presetn.
The question Of transportation to the
Be lows Falls high school was discussed.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the KIondike
Gold Fields,

One thing should be impressed upon every
miner, prospector or trader coming to Alas
ka, to the Klondike, or the Yukon country,
and that is the Necessity for providing an ade-
quate and proper food supply. Whether pro-
cured in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on, this
must be his primary concern. Upon the
manner in which the miner has observed or
neglected this precaution more than upon
any other one thing will his success or failure
depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most careful
attention in the selection of foods that will
keep unimpaired indefinitely under all the
conditions which they will have to encounter
is imperative. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied upon for
the chief part of every meal, imagine the
baking powder. Buy only the very best
flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Expert
ence has shown the Royal Baking Powder to
be the most reliable and the trading COM
panies now uniformly supply this brand, as
others will not keep in this climate. Be sure
that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly
cured. These are the absolute necessities
upon which all must place a chief reliance
and can under no circumstances be neglected
They may, of course, be supplemented by as
many comforts or delicacies as the prospector
may be able to pack or desire to pay for
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery,
which is specially valuable for use upon the
trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal
Baking Powder Company, of New York. The
recipes are thoroughly practical, and the NJ eth
DDS are carefully explained, so that the mex
perier ced may, with its aid, readily prepare
everything requisite for good Wholesome
meal, or even dainties if he has the necessary
materials. The matter is in compact though
durable form, the whole book weighing bit
two ounces. Under a special arrangement,
who may desire it. We would recommend
that every one going to the Klondike procure
a copy. Address the Royal Baking Powder
Co., New York.

Recomme ndations for Fire Department.

On last February an Inspector en-
ployed by the national board of under
writer's made thorough inspection of the
Bellows Falls fire department. The, fol-
lowing are his recommendations:
IA central fire station should be built,
and furnished so as to afford suitable ac-
commodations for firemen and housing of
apparatus.
PAT least 10 additional fire hydrants
should be located within the business Sec
ton.
3-The fire hydrants should have box
coverings, packed with anti-frost material,
for suitable protection during the winter
months.
Am ordinance should be adopted es-
tablishing fire limits, and restricting the
erection of frame buildings in the business
section.

Basket Ball.

The local Y. M. c. A. closed the basket
ball season last Friday with game be-
tween the first team and that of the Keene
Y. M. G. A.
The young men composing the local
team worked hard at the beginning of the
season to get into condition to make a
creditable showing. Considering the very
limited amount of practice given them, on
account of not having suitable hall of
their own and also taking into considera-
ton that several of the players had never
play ed before, they succeeded beyond all
expectations.
The expense in bringing out-of-town
teams here made it impossible to play
many games, but out of the seven played
the local team managed to win six-losing
to keene once-upon very small floor
and under adverse circumstances.
The team at the beginning of the season
was composed of Messrs H. H. Chandler,
captain, John Lawrence, G. S. Capron,
Arch Beebe and O. r. Butterfeld. Later
in theseason the two latter were succeeded
by Messrs. Frank Burr and H. w. Nc
Kinnon who, with the other three, made a
model team.
P. F. Danforth, as manager Of the team,
conducted business in commendable man
ner, and Bert Truax as referee has given
entire satisfaction.
The team, both on and off the floor has
been credit to the village and the associa
ton is to be complimented upon the show
ing it have made.

than three or four miles from Bellows Falls
for transportation; and these pupils can
draw this amount whether attending the
high school or Vermont Academy. The
sum will amount to between $40 and $25
per pupil per school year. At present
there are about 80 pupils who would bene-
fit by this provision and thee may be 40
next year. The board estimate that the
cost of transportation next year will be be-
tween 5000 and $500.

INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY.
Business Managed from New York Office
April What Messrs. Russell and Bur-

Business Managed from New York Office
April What Messrs. Russell and Bur
bank are Doing.
A writer in the last issue of 1.-The Paper
Mill" says:
At last the officers OF the great news
paper syndicate have definitely set date
when they will take hold and manage the
great cluster OF mills from the New York
office, and close up the individual company
Offices at the several mills.
The officers of the great syndicate are
all contented now, and as happy as two
peas in pod. Why? Because the con-
ditions they have just brought about afford
them the great pleasure of recording two
cents a pound for their product, besides a
reduction in the cost of manufacturing in
the future of at least quarter of centIa
pound, by virtue of great savings in labor,
freights and rents.
| said they are all happy aud contented.
| must modify that statement. There is
one who worked, labored, fretted and
stewed so much in trying to bring about
this condition. that after he had accom-
plished the task with the aid of the others,
he broke down, for he had taxed his nerves
to that extent that had he been as strong
as an OK he would have had to succumb.
Poor Mr.. Russell l feel sorry for, him.
1t is really too bad, after he had won a
great victory not to be able to enjoy the
pleasure of receiving congratulations tor it
was told TODAY, March %, that he has
reached Washington, where he arrived
from Palm Beach, and was feeling stronger
but very weak at that. Let us hope that
he nay fully recover. so that be may be
able to eIjoy the fruits of his labors.
As was about to say, Mr.. Burbank has
written to all the managers of the differe t
departments of the International Paper
company that on the first day of April the
handsome offices of the company will be
ready and all the business of the company
in connection with all the mills in manufac-
turing, selling and purchasing will be
transacted at the company's offices in New
York, where each manager will be ex-
pected to report for duty So April 1,
which is generally classed as All Fools
day, will be an exception in the case of the
Paper company.

Western Review of Commerce Made Test of
81 Different Bicycles and Approved of The
Lowell Diamond,

81 Different Bicycles and Approved of The
Lowell Diamond.
A Boston firm, the well-known and To- Q
established John p. Lowell arms company.
has received an excellent testimonial to the
value of its Lowell Diamond bicycle.
An investigation recently made by West
ern Review of Commerce OF Chicago, for
the purpose of ascertalniDg the merits of
the machines on the market, has resulted
in stamping the Lowell Diamond as ..un-
doubtedly the best wheel made
The verdict was given after long and
thorough series of tests, to which the 81
leading makes OF bicycles were submitted
to the investigators.
1t was an independent investigation. and
the board OF judges was composed of the
best practical experts, who spent several
days in carefully testing the relative merits
of the machines.
The decision Of the board, that the
Lowell Diamond is the bicycle of bicycles,
was the first intimation that the Lowell
arms compsny had that such an investiga-
ton was being made.
In according the palm to the Lowell
Diamond considerable honor is given to a
Boston firm, an honor duly appreciated, as
1t was wholly uninflaeneed by any personal
or financial considerations.-J. III. Blakley

Knights Must be Ready.

The local company of the Uniform Rank
knights of p thias may be called into serv-
ice in case of war with Spain. A press dis
patch from Pittsburg, Pa, says:
Colonel Barney Aron of the First regi-
ment of the uniformed rank Knights OF
Pythias. says that Major General Carna-
han of Indianapolis has offered the services
of the entire body, 10000 strong, to Sec
rotary Of War Alger in case of war being
declared with Spain.
Colonel Aron says that one of the oaths
taken by the uniformed knight is that he
shall fight in defense of the United States
when called upon. The Knights are
drilled in the United States tactics, but
carry swords instead of guns. In many
sections mounted companies are sustained,
and there has been much talk of late to or
ganize batteries, so as to have three branch
es of the service represented.
This is the only secret organization rec
ognized by the United States government.

There was hearing before Justice W. s.
Newton in the case of the state against some
intoxicating liquor which was seized by Chief
of Police Hall Tuesday night in raid upon
the PeePs food companys building run by e.
g. Frost. The raid was made at the iustipa-
ton of one of the village bailtfs and Is quart
bottles full of whiskey and Is empty whisky
barrels were seized. States Attorney Robb
of Bellows Falls and G. G.. Fits of Bratt :
boro appeared for the prosecution and Law
yers Kittre dge Haskins and George B. Hit
for the defense 1t appeared from the evil
derce that there was no bar in the, building
but that the building was used simply for
storing the liquor 1t was also shown that
the liquor came from Adams, Tay lor & Co. of
Boston The state introduced as a witness i.
A TAYLOR who owns the island upon which
the New Hampshire brewery is located and
for the use of which brewery it was believed
the liquor was bought. Mr.. Taylor does
trucking business in Bratt!eboro He testi-
fed that he had never carried la ,or TO the
brewery for Adams, Taylor & Co. Charlt
Hort, n testified that he had taken whisky
from the depot to the storehouse by direction
of Adams, Taylor & Co., and that he had
taken it from the storehouse to the brewery
by order OF Martin Leonard, the alleged pro-
prietor of the brewery. The state considers
this evidence as proving sale by Adams,
Taylor & Co, to Martin Leonard in Brattle-
boro and renders the liquor liable to confisc .
ton under the Vermont law. The defense
put on no witnesses but argued that there
was nothing to show that the liquor was kept
for illegal distribution. Justice Newton has
reserved decision.

SPANS NOTICE AND REPLY.
Knows that its Cuban Policy Has Failed, and
that America viii Act.


London, March 27.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Standard says;
II am able to state that the following
is the real course of the negotiations:
During the past week, on Wednesday,
United States Minister Woodford had
an official interview with the ministers
Of foreign affairs and the colonies,
Senior Gullon and Moret, at the private
residence of the former II lasted two
hours. Gen. Woodford left an official
note explaining fully the views and in
tentions of the American government.
I'm this document no intimation was
made nor any da@ fixed, but 1t was
clearly and firmly stated that the
United States government could not
longer withhold from Congress the cor
respondence and consular reports,
which not only put in full light the
distress OF the rural poulation OF
cuba, the inadequate relief ana the
persistence of disaffection, but also
showed that the new colonial policy
and other efforts of Spain had not pro-
duced the results that would Justify
holding out. the prospect of early paci-
fication.
consequently, the American note
lays stress upon the fact that contin-
gencleS are now 1ast Approaching loI
the action which was foreshadowed In
the presidential message and diplomatic
correspondence so frequently and clear
ly during the,last three years
1.-THE American note and the Language
of Gen. Woodford in his conference
with Senior Gullon ileae no doubt that
it is the intention OF the Washington
government to act very soon, begin
ming with the communication of the
above documents and the Maine re-
port to Congress and sending relief Of
ficially to the distressed Cubans.
"On Friday" continues the Madrid
correspondent of the Standard, Gen
Woodford had, by appointment, another
official interview with Senior Gulloh. In
which he received the official reply OF
the Spanish government to the Ameri-
can memorandum of March 2Sd.
1.-THE Spanish reply, couched in firm
language. says that the Spanish gov
ernment cannot agree with the con-
illusions the American government has
drawn from inaccurate information
that does not tally with the recent ac-
tivity and progress of the military
operations in Cuba and the visible pop
ularity and progress of the new colonia
institutions, which have been Loyalty
accepted and are supported by even the
old adversaries of home-rule in the
| colony.
SPAIN" the reply continues. "can,
not naturally admit the interference
which Is foreshadowed in the Amerl-
can note, and deprecates the sending oi
! official relief and war vessels to cuba
as being the very elements that have
