State Librarian Carver has been en-
books and works in the State library
1t has required much time to do this
accurately and procure a complete list
The count makes the following show
ing: 1900 law reports and text books,
1000 law journals and periodicals, 1852
government publications, 5,S27 volumes
of history, literature and science, $4,000
department reports of the various
states and foreign countries, 10000
let's. In addition there is a large num-
Der of duplicate reports and public
documents intended for exchange and
| distribution. In the last two years the
| number of books has increased 400.
! While not so many have been purchas-
| ed as during some previous years many
| of the volumes have been much more
valuable than those usually bought.
Mr.. Carver has received 600 bound
volumes of the report of the Gettys-
burg commission and 1873 stitched in
paper. He is entitled to 1000 copies and
will doubtless receive the balance later.
| He has a call for twice that number
but of course cannot supply all who
apply. Many persons from outside the
State wish to purchase the work. Two
hundred and ten have been sent to the
members of the Legislature. Every
public library in the State has been
given a copy and this took 100. II
there are any libraries which have not
received the work they can obtain it
by applying to the librarian. Mr.. Car
yer thinks of applying to the legisla-
ture for money to bind in cloth the 1SS
volumes now in paper, as they are not
regarded as very servicable.

INVASION SUSPENDED.
Gen. Miles Directed Not to Move Yet
Awhile,

Washington, May 13.-Direct orders
were given General Miles this q morning
suspending for the present the movement
of the invading army upon Cuba, and he
has therefore postponed his departure for
the south. 1t is deemed by the depart
ment officials to be the part of wisdom
not to risk the landing of troops on
Cuban soil until it can be effected under
the protection of stronger feet than is
now available for the purpose. Tho fact
tina f the army movement has been post
poned is in direct evidence that decisive
naval battle is expected. 1t is not doubted
thu t the squadron under the command
of Admiral Sampson will seek an engage
ment with the Spanish fleet at once and
it is with the idea of awaiting the result
of that conflict that the orders for the
movement of the land forces are held in
abeyance temporarily.

about dozen who have seen service in
the navy in some capacity, about 20 who
have been at sea off and on all their lives
Besides these there are large number
of maohinists, fremen, carpenters, etc..
and the rest are landsmen.
1t is now proposed, and this will I'M
regular naval officers sent here to act as
executive officer and navigator of the
ship. An assistant engineer of the navy
has also been asked for by the state au
thorities and may be sent. Three or four
of the officers Of the Portland naval mill
tia will then be detailed on board the
Montauk as watch officers, while the sur
geon and psymaster will also be taken
from the ranks of the Portland battalion,
The officers of the first and second divis-
ion yesterday elected Eugene g. Tobey,
lieutenant, j. g., of the second division,
as assistant paymaster, and DR.. o. P.
Smith as the assistant surgeon. BY direc-
ton of the adjutant general these two
gentlemen will go to Kittery navy yard
this morning for qualification and IN
struction in their duties. When these
officers are mustered into the United
States service the work of enlisting men
| for the Montauk will commence. The
complement of the Montauk is 90 men,
and it will be week or more before the
| ship. 1t is to be hoped that Lieut..
Reamey will be retained here by the navy
| department as commanding officer of the
Montauk as he is much interested in the
naval militia and very DESTROYS of pleas
ing the people of Portland and of the
State of Maine.
The New Jersey naval militia men are
inpatient to be ordered home for active
duty and the delay of a week or more here
will be pretty hard on them. Now that
the Montauk is here it will be too bad if
she ever leaves this port. She should be
kept here for the use OF Portland's naval
militia and undoubtedly che will be if
Maine's delegation in Congress can bliug
this about.
The list of the Montauk's officers are
as follows:
Lieutenant-L. L. Reamey, U. S. N,
commanding.
Lietenant -Commander-H. R. Cohen,
n. K. N. j.
Lieutenant-A. De Unger, N. r. Nj.

Visitors will be received on board the
Montauk afternoons at present. Visitors
are requested not to visit the ship in the

A 5000 Race.

A closely contested race between John
Moran OF Boston and Charles Parker of
Jamaica was run off by local sporting men
at the Four Pines Thursday at p. M. The
distance was 100 yards and although the
time was not given out, it was said to be
under eleven seconds, Moran winning
easily. There was 5000 side placed with
the editor of the Boston Police News, w.
E. Pierce, who came to referee the race.
The contest was the outcome of challenge
received here by j. E. Byrne and others
from several Brattleboro and Jamaica par
ties, who thought that Parker could easily
defeat anyone that Bellows Falls could put
forward. Mr.. Byrne, however, accepted
the challenge and provided man who ev!-
IDENTIFY was much faster runner than the
Jamaica man.

Campbell VS.. Leonard.

The delegates composing the democratic
county convention which met at Newfane
Wednesday were silver men, disciples of
Col. William j. Bryan of Nebraska, and
gold bugs aspiring to Office Jared poorly
at their hands. The biggest and in fact
about the only scrap of the convention
aaose from a discussion of the political
faith of worthy citizen of Bellows Falls,
one E. S. Leonard by name. Rocking
ham did not have delegation at the con-
vention and so the other towns of the
county could handle her citizens without
gloves and there were none to protest.
B. F. Sleeper of Westminster proposed
the mama of Mr.. Leonard for the honor
able office of side judge of the Windham
county court. Il. S. Childs of Brattle-
boro objected because Mr.. Leonard is
gold democrat. This provoked a sharp
response from Mr.. Sleeper, but Mr.. Leon
ards name was finally withdrawn and that
of DR.. E. R. Campbell substituted, whose
financial views seem to have been entirely
satisfactory to the convention.
The election of NJ A. Wilder of Sax
tons River chairman of the county COM
mittee looks like the biggest joke OF the
day for it is reported that he is gold
democrat.

The Mary Howe Concert.

The Mary Howe concert which is to be
given in the opera house next Tuesday
evening, August 9 under the auspices of
the ladies of the Soldiers aid society will
be rare musical treat and the auspices
under which the concert is given should in
sure large house. Mr.. and Mrs. LAWN
have given to the Soldiers aid fund liberal
ly. They gave two nights outright in
Brattleboro and give the ladies Of Bellows
Falls larger per cent than they would if
coming under any other auspices. They
pay all their expenses and the salary of
the violinist and as the opera house, the
programs and practically everything is
donated, the ladies have no expenses
and their third of the gross receipts
will all find its way into the treasury of
the society. The ladies thought for time
of getting up local entertainment but it
is doubtful if they could have netted more
than they will realize from the concert and
the work would have been enormous. The
ladies have interested themselves in noble
cause and the community can show its ap-
probation of their efforts in no better way
than by giving Mr.. and Mrs. LAWN good
house. The program to be rendered is
given below:

CHEESE, EGGS AND BEANS.


The cheese situation is about the same
as last week. The rising butter market
seems to have no effect on the price of
cheese. and sales run along at ~ to s

lot of best northern at over ~ cents.
There has been a moderate demand for
eggs and prices rule steady on the basis
of IA to 141a cents for finest western. A
large portion of the receipts continue to
be affected by the heat and range lower.
Fresh eastern command Is to 16 cents.
