GOLD-FILLED TEETH.
More Metal Goes Into Them Than Can
Possibly be Got Out.

An example of some of the queer ex--
periences people have when they are
called upon to buy thing with which
they are not familiar and which they
have need of only on rare and unusual
occasions is thus set forth by the Mil
wakee Sentinel:
A young woman who worked as do
nestle went to dentist to get her teeth
repaired He repaired them, and sent
bill of Ss5. He justified himself for the
charges by explaining how much the fill
ings cost him. In one hollow tooth, he
said he put $40 worth of gold. The bill
was paid, and recently, when the little
nugget (sad to be worth $l0) came out,
the woman took it to a goldsmith and
had it appraised. He weighed it scru-
pulously and valued it at 4S cents. She
no longer has faith in her dentist.
1t seems to be always good taste to 'igs
shopping among the dentist before hav-
ing any considerable am unit of work
done. There is considerable humbuggery
about the business in some quarters. The
public is told that $l5 is fair price for
crown and stands ready to pay it, on the
ground that good work deserves good
pay. A few blocks away the same work
was done last week for S., just as we'll as
if Sl5 had been paid, and it was done by
a reputable dentist. One dentist figured
on $S5 for six teeth, and another zoe
yards away performed the service for $50.

The fight for the municipal ownership
OF the electrical subways OF Baltimore
has culm mated in glorious triumph,
after a stubborn struggle, which has
been in progress for many years, and
particularly since November, 1896, when
tile first ordinance was introduced. The
victory won by the Morning Herald in
behalf OF the people Is all the more graft
flying, and the more significant because
it was won in face of the fact that the
morning papers OF Baltimore, the Sun
and the American, were arrayed on the
side of the corporations, and vigorously
opposed municipal ownership. Such a
circumstance cannot tail to illustrate, in
a striking way, the power and influence
of an honest, outspoken and independ-
ent public journal. Under the terms of
the subway ordinance the municipality
will construct and control the subways,
charging each company fixed annual
rental therefor, the management of the
conduit system being under the control
of the Subway Commission, to be COM
posed Of the mayor, city register and
president of the Board of Fire Conn mis-
sioners.

SPECIFIC ADVERTISING BEST.

SPECIFIC ADVERTISING BEST.
One reason why we advise
specific advertising as better
than general is because OF its
twofold results. You get I'M
mediate returns; you know
whether or not your advestising
is effe fective; and you get all the
general benefit you could posi-
bly, derive from general advertls-
ing.
You cannot trace the results
Of general advertising except in
a general way. If at the end OF
year or a number of years you
have been successful,it is fair to
assume that your advertising
has been of some avail.
On the contrary if your adver-
tising deals with particular
items to be taken at once, you
can see an immediate effect or
you don't, and according as you
realize Immediately or otherwise
you are able to judge of the ef-
fectiveness of your advertising.

THE OCTOBER FRBsHBT.

BrattIeboro Escaped with small Loss,
but Much Damage Was Done Else
where In southern VermOnt---Light-
Ing struck on Western Avenue.
Southern Vermont was visited Tuesday
night aud Wednesday by one of the heavi-
est and most destructive freshets that have
occurred during the past 20 years A
heavy rain began falling about 10 o'clock
Tuesday night and continued almost inces-
sanity throughout the next day and in
some places during most of the next night.
The streams were sweled TO Overlooking
in some localities, doing great damage.
The greatest damage is reported from
Bennington and vicinity where bull ings
and bridges were washed away, railroads
were undermined and the streets were bad
ly quilted. Roaring Branch a river flow
ing through Bennington, broke over its
channel and did great damage for nearly
four miles. Several bridges on the Ben
nngton 81 Woodford electric railroad and
A large iron bridge on the Bennington d
Hoosc Valley electric railroad were wash
ed away. A cuDvert was washed out on the
Fitchburg railroad, so that all travel into
Bennington from the west and south was
cut of. The Bennington d Rutland rail
road lost a bridge at South SALISBURY, to-
gether with % feet of track The loss in
the vicinity of Bennington is estimated at
$50, 600
In Brattleboro no disastrous damage was
done. The streets were badly washed,
however, and it will cost the town a large
sum to repair them. The heaviest part of
the storm was between l. and o'clock
Tuesday night. At that time the light
ming was almost continuous and there were
terrific peals OF thunder AT ! o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, when the storm
was practically over, 4.22 inches Of rain
had fallen in Brattleboro during hours.
On both sides Of the Main street bridge the
street railroad was undermined so that for
half day or more it was necessary 10
transfer passengers.
so far as has been reported the light
ming struck only once in Brattleboro Dur
ing Tuesday night the barn OF Mrs. Charles
Stevens on Western avenue was struck and
damaged TO some extent. The bolt enter
ed the building at the northwest cor
ner Of the cupola, tearing of several
boards. and went down through the rafters
on each side of the barn, splitting two Of
them from end to end Ii then followed
the beams TO the lower part OF the build
ing, where a number of timbers were split.
A quantity of slate and capboards was
torn from the roof and sides Of the barn.
The damage was not discovered until
| Wednesday afternoon when L. a. Wood
went 10 the barn and found that the root
was leaking. That the barn was not sci
on fire seems strange from the fact that IL
contained large quantity Of hay and other
Ombustible material

NEW ENGLAND LOAN AND TRUST
COMPANY.
Business---Suicide OF the President of

Bustness---Sutcide OF the President of
the Company.
The total amount OF Vermont money
placed by the New England Loan and Trust
company in mortgage loans throughout the
West is estimated at -. 900, 900 to 81 900, o.
600 IL the report of the inspector of
! finance for 1877 the total amount Of secur-
! tiles sold in Vermont during the year by
this institution is placed at S2Sl 700
The rate OF dividends has been six per
/ cent for % and 90 and from 30 TO ~
| eight per cent on the common stock and
seven per cent on ne preferred.
! 1t was planned by those in the deal TO
have d. O. Eshbaugh, the president of the
company, appointed It's receiver, but when
the matter came up last week the court Of
tcials said ii would be irregular 10 appoint
a man SO prominently identified with the
company 10 such a position and Ois Y.
| Barnard was named.
One OF the charges against the company
now is that the assets have been doctored
One statement was that the loans on real
estate were s.. rs, Al 40 and the real es-
tate owned S3S0,0OO, while the real estate
controlled should have been nearer 81 900. p
600 This may prove serious for Vermont
| investors when adjustment comes. In the
report OF the state ms eCLQF OF lOance the
company answering his questions, said
that the institution was organized under
the state laws of Iowa, and did business at
Des Moines with an authorized capital
stock Of 81 100000. It's eastern Office was
in New York. The personal liability of
the stockholders was none, aud the amount
OF capital stock held by officers of the
company was $4,000 Three thousand
of the stock owned by officers was pledged
to the company. The total amount of
capital stock held by the company as col
lateral was $1,000. The total amount of
outstanding loans was $1,000 600 and
guaranteed loans S. ,000,0 600.
The body of Daniel O. Eshbaugh, pres
ident of the New England Loan and Trust
company, was found on the beach at Ho-
boken last Saturday. Eshbaugh disap D.
peared on the Monday previous and sea rch
had teen made for him all the week. II
is the general belief that it was a case of
suicide as the man had scarcely been able
TO sleep for months, on account of the ter
ribe strain he had undergone during the
troubles of his company. Receiver Ban
nard of the New England Loan and Trust
company, states positively that the &C
counts of Mr.. Eshbaugh are correct.

Looking for HIS Man.

Deputy Sheriff f. W. Mcclure has sent
out postal cards this week giving a de
scription of William Daley and a horse
formerly owned by Thomas Walsh of
Chesterfield, n. H., and asking for infor-
nation which will lead to the recovery of
the horse and the capture of the man.
His reasons are these On Sept. 27 DALEY
drove TO Chesterfield to the house of Harry
Elmer, who lives on the Petier farm, and
snapped horses with Elmer During that
night it is claimed that Daley returned to
Elmers place and broke into his barn and
exchanged horses again. The next day
he drove TO the house of Thomas Walsh,
who lives a short distance from Elmer, and
traded horses with him. On the next or
the second day afterward Elmer appeared
at the house of Walsh and claimed that as
he made a square deal with Daley the
horse then in Walshs possession belonged
to him elmer, and he obliged Walsh to
give it up. Walsh now wants TO regain
possession of the horse which he traded
with Daley. Daley formerly worked for
Peltier. He is described as being 80 years
old, weighs 100 pounds, is five feet, five
inches tall and has a heavy mustache. The
horse is bay, is II years old, weighs 900
pounds and has white star in the fore
head.
