Secretary Sherman of the state depart
ment issued last Saturday a proclamation
on behalf of the President, supplementing
the appeal recently made for contributions
for relief of the suffering Cubans. The
proclamation announces the appointment
of a committee to receive such contribu-
tions, acting in cooperation with the Amer
lean Red Cross society. The headquarters
of the committee will be in New FORK city.
Its office will be not only TO receive and
forward the aid given, but also "to solicit
the concurrent effort of local relief boards
throughout the United States, and TO invite
the kindly aid of the transportation agen-
cies of the United States for the prompt
conveyance of the contributed supplies to
the seaboard and their shipment thence to
Cuba The consul general at Havana is,
in turn, assured of the effective co0pera-
tion of every available agency in the island
of Cuba in order that life may be saved
and suffering spared. The Spanish gov
eminent, who commend the aid thus
rendered, will facilitate the work, and to
that end will admit to Cuba free of duties
and charges, all articles otherwise liable to
tax, when duly consigned to the consul
general"

MIR. Powers wni succeed himself.
From the Burlington Free Press


The Democratic Boston Globe has gone
into the business of manufacturing candi-
dates for Congress to succeed Hon. II.
Henry Powers, and up to date it has
named in this connection ex-Gov. Carroll
S. Page of Morrisville, and ex-Gov. Urban
A. Woodbury., Hon. David j. Foster and
Mayor Hamilton S. Peck of Burlington.
When the time comes to select sue
cessor to the present efficient and credita-
BILE representative of the first district the
people themselves may desire to have
something to say as to who shall represent
them in Congress, and there will be nc
lack of good men from whom to select 3
candidate, Thus far, however, there has
been no indication of popular disapprova
of Judge Powers, and inasmuch as he ha
himself given no intimation of his inten
ton to retire, talk as to his successor is de
| cidedly premature.

Fall Mountain Paper Company.
Arrangements for the Transfer of its
Property TitIes 10 the New Syndicate.

Arrangements for the Transfer of its
Property Titles TO the New syndicate.
The past two weeks have been busy ones
for the Office men of the Fall Mountain
Paper company in completing arrange
ments for the transfer of their important
titles TO property here, and at other points,
to the new syndicate OF paper mills. This
transfer is to be made on the 18th OF this
month. F. II. Chapman and j. K. Meyers
were in Boston last week at the office of
the company. Civil Engineers G. Vivian
White and l.. +. Baldwin have been work
ing here, but went to Boston Tuesday
with the result of their surveys. The
titles to the land upon which the mills are
located have never been conveyed from the
Bellows Falls Canal company TO the Fail
Mountain Paper company until this week,
as the owners of the two companies were
practically the same. This was done at
this time to enable the Fall Mountain
Paper company to give deed to the new
company on the 18th. The Canal com
pany deed the land, but lease the water
power under perpetual lease, receiving
an annual rental, therefor AS the trans
fer of the property TO the International
Paper company comprises all the wood
lands owned by the company in Vermont
ana new hampshire, IL Will ne seen Lnat
the deciding of all becomes matter of
some magnitude, as they own property in
large number of different towns The
business is to be carried on here in the
same name as heretofore, and with much
the same management. Local people will
see but little evidence of change. There is
little question but the change will result in
benefit to our village in increased business,
and the enlarging of the plant. There are
few, if any, points at which paper can be
made cheaper than here, our water power
being of the best. 1t would be natural for
the directors of a company owning so
many plants, at distances from each other,
to keep the business, and enlarge the
plants, at those points where the power,
and all other things which affect the cost
of production, could be operated to the
best advantage, and Bellows Falls has little
to fear in this regard from the change. Ii
is reasonable that those having the best
interests of the village at heart should
wonder as to the results, for the change is
so far reaching, and if business was di.
verified from here the result would be
serious.

The King OF Bunoo steerers In Custody
Again.

George Spencer, alias George Reed, the
notorious buncoer who fled from Massachu-
sets recently after putting up bail amount
ing to over $50, 600 was arrested in Phila-
delphia Monday. He was traced from New
England to Plainfeld, y. j., by Detective
Whitney. Spencer and his pal Ludlum,
each occupied fine house in Planield,
and lived in style with buffers, coachmen,
etc. 1t is claimed that the stealings of
Spencer and his gang amounted to $4,000
in Massachusetts, alone, and they operated
largely in Vermont, New Hampshire and
Connecticut. Both men were married, but
the wives claim TO have been ignorant OF
the real occupation of the men. The Lud-
lums have lived in Plainteld two years, but
the Spencers came there only four months
ago Spencer evidently knew that he was
being watched al Planfeld and fled to
Philadelphia. Ludlum also became sus-
picious and fed, and his Whereabouts are
unknown.

We are pleased to learn that Congress
keeps in mind John W. Titcomb, the eff
cient superintendent of the government fish
hatchery al St. Johnsbury, and does not
propose to permit him to suffer longer from
the inclemency of the weather. The urgent
deficiency bill, which has passed the House,
carried an appropriation of $1,000 TO COM
plete the dwelling the government is erect
ing for him, and also appropriates $1,000
for increasing the water supply there for
his fish to swim Montpelier Argus.

The committee on pensions has reported
adversely 10 the Senate a bill TO grant a
pension of 500 a month each To Margaret
and Henrietta Meade, daughters OF the
late Ma. Gen. Meade.
The largest customs receipts upon any
single day since the passage of the Ding
ley bill were recorded at the United States
treasury Wednesday. The amount was
$3.50, 024 and raised the total customs pay
ments for the nine business days Of Janu-
ary to 81, 703, 473. This is at the rate of
more than Sl6, 600, 600 month, and with
the other receipts would place the treasury
substantially upon self-suppOrting basis.
The New York Tribune reckons as the
four chief scientific events of the year
1897: "The development of a speed OF 80
knots 10y the British torpedo boat destroyer
Turbnia, the transmission OF telegraph
messages without wires to a distance of 10
or II miles, the discovery OF the bacillus of
yellow fever and the testimony which the
buried city of Nippur offers regarding the
existence of high state of civilization in
Mesopotamia between 5000 and 1000 years
before Christ
In resigning his pastorate of the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church in New \ ork,
the Rev. DR.. John Hall has given up the
spiritual charge of one of the weathiest, II
not the wealthiest, congregations in the
country When he first became the pastor
there, 30 years ago, he received a salary OF
$4,000 in gold, gold being then at 1870 OF
| 140 1t was soon raised to $4,000 cur
rency, then the largest salary paid TO any
| clergyman in the country. This was at.
terward increased to sl5, 600 year, and in
1895 one of his Pensioners died, leaving
him an annual income from her estate Of
$4,000. DR.. Hall himself is authority fol-
the statement that he had received a total
of nearly 10000 during his pastoratt
from wedding fees and like gifts, and prob
ably that isn't overstating it.

Col. Charles II. stOuRhtOn Admitted TO
the SOldIerA' Home.

Col, Charles b. Stoughton, who was re-
Gently admitted TO the Soldiers Home at
Bennington, was a native of Chester, this
state, the family coming to Bellows Falls
about 1S4S. He was educated in the
schools of this town. He enlisted in the
Fourth Vermont regiment of Volunteers
in August, 1861, at the age of TO- and was
appointed adjutant, his brother, Edwin II
Stoughton, being its colonel. In January
following he was appointed major of the
regiment and in July he was promoted to
the lieutenant colonecy, having "shown
decided aptitude for military duties
In November following he succeeded to
the colonelcy of the regiment, Col. L. II.
Stoughton having been appointed brigadier
general of Volunteers.
In July, 1868, Col. Stoughton received a
''bulet wound in the head which cost him
his right eye" Col. Stoughton has prac-
ticed law in New York in the later years.
He was prominent in the famous organ
case of Waite against EsLey. For the past
year he has been in failing health, which
now causes his admission to the home.
The Stoughton family resided here, after
their removal from Chester, until early in
the seventies, when they moved to New
York, still returning here TO spend the
summers for several years, occupying
the Quicker house, Col Stoughton wa:
