st. Johnsbury's Representative.

DR.. T. X. Stiles, "the gentleman from
St. Johnsbury," has returned from his
legislative work and resumed his profess
sional duties. The people who supported
him at the polls and indeed all citizens OF
St. Johnsbury have reason to be proud
OF his work at Montpelier. His best
work was done before the committees
and in personal interviews with members
and he made his influence felt in many.
OF the leading bills before the lawmakers.
He was instrumental in the introduction
and passage of the first bill introduced
and Vermont now has a meteorological
laboratory that will be OF great benefit
to all physicians. The Senate was loaded
with railroad legislation, but the House
killed several bills and the bill forbiddlng
the sale of railroad mileages found a
ready opponent in DR.. Stiles, who sue
ceeded in having the bill referred to the
general committee instead OF the railroad
committee who were planning to recon-
mend it's passage. DR. Stiles was chair
man of the House committee on public
health and served on the committee on
the insane and the special committee in
relation to the town lines OF Berlin and
Montpelier. At the close of the session
he was appointed by Gov. Smith mem
Der of the State Board of Health, an
office which came to him unsought and
which he will creditably fill.

An American Boys Success.

Charles Cowles, the Yankee character
comedian who presents "A Country Mer-
chant" at the Opera House, Thursday
Dec. s, though young man has been on
the stage from his boyhood and for a
dozen years has given his entire time to
the patient and tireless study Of the
Yankee character. 1t has been his ambi
tion to so master the subject in hand that
he should place upon the stage picture
80 true and so realistic as to compel for
itself recognition as a dramatic classic.
Competent critics believe that in his
character OF Eben Baxter ia "a Country
Merchant" Mr.. Cowles has accomplished
just that. Mr.. Cowles has worked on
the theory "this one thing do" until he
has succeeded in doing the lone thing
in faultless and inimitable fashion.
"A Country Merchant" is a delightful
entertainment and will contribute largely
to the splendid reputation so long en-
joyed by our popular playhouse.

HARDsHIPS OF THE YUKON.
Forty Men who Went North Full Of
Hope Are All Brought Back
In Coins.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by Mr.. David Hender-
son, a lawyer of Hamilton, Ont, from
q friend in Victoria, B. c., who says:
"We are beginning to see the true hor-
rors of the Klondike. A Seattle farm
er brought down 40 corpses last week,
and on Saturday last Victorian came
from Dawson City bringing the sad
news of the death of L. B. Hamlin, C. E.,
and his companion from exposure. He
left home in October upon government
work. DR.. Richardson, son of DR.. Rich
ardson, Of Toronto, has small hospital
in Dawson City. He did all possible for
him, but without avail.
1T is fearful, the greed for gold. We
see it here in all classes going out to
this cold region. Many will never re-
turn; others will probably come back
to be burden upon the coast cities.
You will say have not much faith in
the Yukon. Ihave not. The merchants,
contractors and hotel men will make
their fortunes, and there will be left
to Canada lot Of useless inhabitants
although, it is said, after the first wash
up there will not be less than 20 tons
of gold brought down. The most OF
this will go to the United States"

AN OFFER OF ELEPHANTS.
War Department Has Chance to Use
25 Elephants in Event of
War In Cuba.

Through the efforts of Assistant Sec
retary Meiklejohn, the department has
information bearing on the carrying
capacity and speed of every vessel en-
gagged in the coasting trade, which is
of particular use just 1t this time. Mr..
Meiklejohn desires the statement made
that the war department will not buy
any vessels for the purpose to which
these vessels may be put, preferring to
charter them in every case.
Orders have been issued directing
Gen. Wesley Merritt, commanding the
department of the east, and Gen. Gra-
ham, commanding the department of
the gulf, to hurry work on the artillery
posts under their jurisdiction. They
will avail themselves of all the facili-
ties at their command to carry this Or
der into effect and will direct such
movements of artillery forces as may be
necessary.
The department has received word
from q circus company that in the
event Of war IS elephants would be put
at its disposal for active service in
Cuba. Some of these animals have
served in India, and neither the
swamps nor underbrush in Cuba would
interfere with their utility.

WILL PHOTOGRAPH BATTLES.
Proposes to Make Lifelike Pictures
OF War Engagements from
Balloons.

Extraordinary arrangements are un-
derstood to be under way for balloon
photography. Within two or three days
w. J. Rouse. one of the most expert
photographers in the United States. has
arrived in Washington with new ap-
paratus which has created sensation
among military experts.
He exhibited his new telescope-cam-
era In operation. and it brought set
of chimneys at an actual distance Of
two-thirds of mile within an ordinary
100.yard Photographic range. Every
detail Of the bricks and even the tiniest
interstices in the mortar were plainly
shown on the developed Photographic
plate.
Mr.. Rouse will ascend in balloon
from near Havana or some other cpn-
venient point in case of naval engage
ment and will be able at an elevation Of
2,soO to 5000 feet to photograph at a
range of four miles.
He has already made photographs
from balloons at range of more than
three miles, and one of his photographs
of an aeronaut in balloon at an eleva-
tion of 1900 feet, taken from the
ground, shows perfect and easily rec
ognizable portrait.

TEN EYcK BARRED OUT.
Henley Stewards Refuse to Let Him
Race in the Regatta on
the Thames.

E. H. Ten Eyck, winner of the dia-
mond sculls at Henley last year, when
shown the press dispatch at Philadel-
phia from London stating that his en-
try for this years race had been re-
fused by the Henley stewards, said:
II am not surprised to hear this. In
fact. it has looked all along as if they
intended to bar me out. The fact that
no reason is given for my disqualified
tion is significant in itself. lam simply
not wanted, and that is all there is
to it,"
James Ten Eyck. father OF the oars
man, said:
"This is an outrage and an insult to
the National Association OF, Amateur
Oarsmen, and l shall be greatly sur
prised If some action is not taken by
that body"
Young Ten Eyck is student in the
dental department. of the University Of
Pennsylvania. He is member of the
Pennsylvania Barge club, and it was
stated that he will surely compete in
the national regatta to be held on the
6chuylkill river July 80.

NEW DYNAMITE GUN.
Invention Of a New Jersey Man
Proves a Great Success.
u . smOoth-Bore Gun and Throws
Powerful Dynamite Cartridges Of
sixteen Pounds Over q Mile
and One.Hnlf.

"Built for business" is the inscription
written on the Breath dynamite gun
now at Keyport, N. j. This invention
is calculated by its inventor, William L.
Breath, of Orange, N. j.. to be the most
effective piece of ordnance in the world,
designed to throw dynamite from
smoothbore guns by charge Of smoke
less powder.
partial test of the new gun was had
the other day. The inventor cleaned
the gun carefully, locked the wheels OF
the ordinary field mount on which it
is set, and then set a dummy projectile
sailing through the air. 1t could not
be seen until it struck. After getting
the range Mr.. Breath had an ordinary
oil barrel set adrift. and when it was
about 500 yards away he quickly
charged the gun with a real projectile
and pulled the lanyard.
This shell was plainly discernable in
it's fight. 1t passed over the object
some 12 feet, but struck properly, head
down. There was mufflel sound, fol-
lowed by great cloud of water. The
next shot struck its mark, and splinters
showed there had been barrel.
1t is three-inch gun, II feet long,
weighing 225 pounds exclusive Of its
mount. This weapon elects projectile
weighing l6 pounds. the propelling
charge of which is slow burning, smoke
less powder, made by Mr.. Breath. the
pressure being regulated by the method
of loading. Through this method the
muzzle velocity Of the projectile is
unusually high, gradually increasing
pressure being given as the projectile
moves toward the muzzle. This is new
idea in dynamite gun construction.
AS there is no rif1ing to the gun the
inventor affixed an aluminium vane to
the rear Of the projectile, which gives
it the required steadiness in its fight.
The propelling charge of smokeless
powder is only three ounces.
Mr.. Breath says he has demonstrated
that his gun has muzzle velocity of
about 700 feet per second, the range be-
ing $500 yards. The projectile is the
important part Of the invention. The
one used in the present gun is "a inches
long, the main body being is inches. 1t
weighs 16 pounds. The deadly end of
1t is brass, covered with bronze, and the
vane is of aluminium. The projectile
contains five pounds of nitroglycerin.
It is detonated by four ounces of dry
gun cotton.

WHITE HOUSE GATES.
Will Not De shut and Locked to Keep
Out the Curious Crowds of
Sight Seers.

Workmen were engaged the other
day in digging miniature excavation
for block of granite one foot square,
in the center of which is an aperture
for bolt attached to the gate which
forms portion of the fence leading to
the white house. A curious crowd
gathered about them, and it was said
that the work was being done to enable
the employees of the white house to pro-
tect the president by closing the gates
during the coming year. The Chicago
Tribune correspondent saw one of the
attaches of the white house and learned
that the presidents horses had fre-
quently stumbled over the block which
was being replaced and its removal was
simply to protect the feet of the presi-
dents horses, and not himself, as many
supposed. Col. Crook, who has been an
attache of the white house since Lin
coins administration, was asked If the
gates were closed during the civil war.
He replied that they were not. and had
been closed but once since the erection
Of the executive mansion. During the
war Lincoln came and went and made
no effort to shut himself up in the white
house. He never had any fears for his
own safety, and always laughed at
those Of his friends who insisted upon
surrounding him with q Gordon of SOL
diers. But when President Garfield lay
dying from the effects Of a cowardly
assassin's bullet crowds Of idlers
focked about the gates. AS his con-
dition grew worse the crowds in
creased, and it was impossible to keep
them out Of the grounds the gates were
closed for the first time during the his
tory of the government and a Gordon
of police placed on duty there.
