Looking For a Nickname.

Chicago baseball cranks are endeav-
oring to find a new nickname for their
team in view of the fact that the club
has decided to discard the title of Colts.
Somebody has suggested Burnsides. In
honor of the new manager. Tommy
Burns, and 1t looks like a go. The idea
of nicknaming ball teams is not a new
one, as every team In the National
league labors under some alleged pet
name. Many of the teams are inappro-
priately named, however. To call the
Brooklyns the Bridegrooms nowadays
Is enough to drive rabid crank to a
country retreat where he will never
hear OF baseball again. There are very
few married men on the team. The
Clevelands are still called the Spiders

A petition signed by prominent
citizens of Woodstock has been forward
ed to Gov. Grout, asking him to con-
slider the application of would-be soldier
boys for the formation of company of
the national guards there. Fifty-one
recruits have signed the roll for new
company, and hopes are entertained that
the move may be successful.

An act of congress entitled "An act to
establish uniform system of bank
ruptcy throughout the United States" be-
came the law of the land July l. Some Of
the provisions of the law are as follows :
The United States district courts are
made courts of bankruptcy. The court
will appoint at least one referee in each
county, and at meeting of the creditors
a trustee must be appointed Any per-
son who owes debts except corpora
ton may become a voluntary bankrupt;
and any natural person except a wage
Garner or a farmer, any unincorporated
company, and corporations engaged in
certain specified lines of business owing
$1,000 or more may be forced into invol-
untary bankruptcy. The law went into
effect July l, but no petition for vol
untary bankruptcy can be filed before
Aug. /, or for involuntary bankruptcy
before Nov. l. This national law has
superseded the Vermont Insolvency law,
and transferred causes of this nature
from the jurisdiction of the probate
courts to that of the United States
courts.

Shortly after the great naval victory
oil Santiago. in which Cervera's fleet was
pursued and destroyed by the American
vessels of war under Commodore Schley,
Capt. John Schley, cousin of the com
modore, wrote letter of congratulation
upon the victory won. He received a
reply the other day which in part is as
follows:
FLAGSHIP BROOKLYN,
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July p, 1898.
Ny DEAR JOHN-The victory of July
3, so complete in results and so rich in
glory for our country, was the Joint
product of every one fortunate enough
to be engaged, and | ought rather to
thank you in their name than to ap-
propriate the congratulations to myself.
Surely it was large enough to win
laurels for all, and | assume no other
pride in it than the lucky place of this
ship in the line where the first heavy
assault was made and afterward by her
speed and her direction to keep in the
scrap.
The sweetest thought and the greatest
satisfaction comes from the fact that our
conduct has won the peoples love and
earned the nations admiration. 1t is
this which encourages us in the public
defense, no matter at what risk to our
selves. If it secures peace to our be-
loved land and permits us to return soor
to our loved ones and to our people, oul
efforts were we'll directed.
Thanking you again, my dear cousin
and schoolmate and friend, am alway S
Very sincerely yours,
w. S. SCHLEY.

THE NOONAN WOMAN FREE
Governor Grout Reported to Have Pardon
ed Her Oifhand.


ed Her Ohhand.
A Vergennes dispatch to the Burling-
ton Free Press, dated the lst inst, says
Mrs. Lizzie Noonan made her appear
ance in Ferrisburgh Saturday, claiming
to have been pardoned by Gov. Grout.
1t is understood that the pardon is con-
ditional on her good behavior. She was
sentenced last December for five years at
hard labor at the states prison for grand
larceny, to which she had pleaded
guilty. There were four other indict-
ments against her for other felonies,
which were mol pressed in consideration
of her pleading guilty and the sentence
in this case.
She is the woman who figured so con-
spicuously in Ferrisburgh with Fred Bal
ley. who is now in the house of correction
for breaking into the Ferrisburgh depot
with Grant Jackman.
None of the local officers were consult
ed regarding her release from state prison.
The greatest surprise is expressed by all
upon her being set at liberty, and unless
same adequate cause is assigned for her
release, it is the opinion of many who
understand the career which she led and
the extreme leniency shown her in view
of her apparent crimes, that the executive
is open to censure.
The readers of the Free Press were fur
niShed with the reports of her case at the
time of her trial, and of her alleged con-
nection with the gang of criminals of
whom she was supposed to have been one
of the leaders. 1t certainly should be due
to the officials who procured her convic-
ton and to every one interested in good
morals and the enforcement of the law
in the county that the apparently rash
act of executive clemency should receive
some adequate explanation.

Washington, Aug. 3.-After confer
ence on the peace question, lasting an
hour this afternoon between the president
and VI. Cambon. the French ambassador,
the latter acting as the representative of
Spain. secretary Day announced that
todays conference was incOnclusive,
wherefore the parties to it had agreed to
say nothing publicly as to what had oc-
Cured. From this it is gathered that the
long-eXpected answer of the Spanish gov
ernment to the presidents note upon be-
ing received had turned out to be either
a counter proposition or a request for a
fuller statement in detail upon some of
the heads of the presidents note. Up
to the middle of the afternoon it was stat
ed by all parties concerned that the Span
ish answer had not been received; that
the only formal note that had come to
hand was one from the Madrid cabinet to
NJ. CambOn asking for information upon
some points that were not clear to the
Spanish minister. However, Just after
o'clock the secretary of the French
embassy, NJ Thibeault, called at the
state department and arranged with Sec
retary Day for a meeting between the
president and ambassador as soon as
possible. The meeting was set for 8 40
o'clock. As already stated. after con-
ferring for an hour the parties separated,
binding themselves to the strictest
secrecy as to the proceedings until fur
ther progress has been made. Thus it is
practically assured in advance that any
attempt to state what occurred at today S
meeting at the White house will be pure
guess work.

PEACE Is IN SIGHT.
SPAIN is SAID TO HAVE ACCEPTED
PRINCIPAL DEMANDS

Onl, Minor Details to BE settled Before
Comm 'ssioners Are Appointed - The
French Ambassador the Medium of Ne
gotiations at Washington.
London, Aug. 3.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily Mail says: The
government has accepted the principle
of the American conditions, but the ac-
ceptance will not be made public until
inquiries sent to Washington on matters
of detail have been settled, thus rounding
of the preliminary basis.
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily News says; The governments re-
ply to the American peace terms left
here Monday evening.
The government believes that the ma
ture of the negotiations requires the
greatest secrecy, and that their success
will depend upon the observance of the
most absolute reserve here. Official si-
lence, therefore, is complete.
The Rome CORES spOndent of The Daily
Chronicle says: Spain, it is asserted
here, has accepted the American terms,
with important reservations, and the
peace prelimnaries will be signed before
Saturday.
The Gibraltar correspondent of The
Daily News, telegraphing Monday night,
says. The censorship is daily becoming
more severe, and little is known beyond
the fact that peace is assured.
1t is understood that the note from
America asks only part of the Philip
pines, and that Senor Sagasta having re-
piled that the terms will he accepted,
hostilities will therefore be suspended.
A commission will be appointed to de-
Iermine the bases of peace The chief
difficulty, it is asserted in political cir
cles, is as to the date and manner of the
evacuation of the Spanish possessions.
There is also the question of the dis
posal of the war material in Cuba.
Senor Sagasta, if he has chance, will
probably represent a restitution of the
material as a diplomatic victory
1t has Just been asserted here that the
premier has succeeded in obtaining
slightly improved terms.
The treaty will not be signed before
September.
