American soldiers and American sea-
'lmen. 1t has been a war of the army
and navy, despite all efforts to make IL
anything else. 1t was fought by DEM
ocrats, Republicans and Populists.
They stormed uo the heights at San
tiago and Ell Caney, and some Of them
met death at the hands of the enemy
like the heroes they were, while the
survivors were left to starvei like dogs
upon the battlefield, where victory was
won. and in the camps of the volun-
teeFs. IT would be a crime for any
American citizen not to decry such ac-
tions which are forming one of the
darkest pages in the history of our
country. No man should permit the ad-
ministration 10 get any more comfort
out OF the situation than it is entitled
TO. All of the people will have remind
ers of this war at their fresides, when
the sick soldiers come home broken
down with disease. When the claim is
made that this has been a Republican
war the people may we'll say: What
about Alger and what about Mckin-
ley?" Mckinley is peregrinating over
the country, making junketing trips,
While the sick soldiers are dying in the
camps of starvation and fever. These
are wrongs that should be righted, and
the Democratic party will see TO it
they are righted.
What is the further Pleasure of the
convention" said Mr.. Varlan, when he
had concluded.

INADEQUATE PREPARATIONS.

''The preparatiOns were far from
what l desired them to be, but we were
in a Sicllly climate; our supplies had to
be brought forward by a-narrow wa
gon road. which the trains might at
any time render impossible, fear was
entertained that a storm might drive
the vessels containing our supplies to
sea, thus parting us from our base of

is the way Of it, according to a South
African paper: When Rudyard Kipling
had written "The Recessional," which
two hemispheres felt to be one of the very
truest and soundest pieces of work done
by any writing man in our day and gener-
alton, he was so depressed by its shortcom-

threw the rough copy in the waste-paper
basket. Thence Mrs. Kipling rescued it.

after a severe illness of 10 months dura-

who was esteemed for her winning dispo-
sition and for her many characteristics
which were worthy of emulation. She
had an intimate and lasting friendship with
the young people, who found in her
both a counselor and a companion, and
by them her death is felt as a personal
bereavement, while to the dauhgters who
have always had her motherly care the
loss is irreparable.

June 8, 1916, and her home, since she was
two years old, has been in the house where
she died. She was daughter of the late
Jonas Putnam, over so years an employee
of the Estey Organ company, and sister
of Selectman Z. II. Putnam. She gradu-
ated from the Brattleboro High school I'M
der Col. c. A. Miles and on Dec. 22 1867,
she was married TO w. IL. hnson, OF the
firm of Miller & Kinson. She leaves, be-
sides her husband, two daughters, Grace
and Mary Louise Kinson of Brattleboro.
Mrs. Kinson was taken i'll last August
and she went to Boston, where she was
treate at hospital, but without being
benefited. In September she went to
sanitarium at Penacook, n. H., where,
with the exception of two weeks at Thanks
giving time, she remained until Tuesday of
last week.
The funeral will be held at the house at
o'clock Friday, Rev. j. D. Beeman Off
ciating, and the burial will be in the
Prospect Hill cemetery. Mrs. Kinson was

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Frank y. Farrell is Accused of killing
Mamie Cunningham In New York.


Mamie Cunningham In New York.
Frank p. Farrell is now on trial at New
York before Recorder Golf on the charge
of numbering Mamie Cunningham, a niece
of Rev. Father Cunningham of Brattle-
boro, on Memorial day, 1896.
The girl was 10 years old, and favorite
at st. Gabries school, She was found
dead by her mother in her own little room
at 315 East 37th street A bent carving
knife showed the child had tried to defend
herself, but stronger hands clutched her
throat and she had been strangled with a
bloody towel.
Farrell was arrested at the time, but was
released when Joseph Ferrone told the po-
lice he had seen Edward Mccormick of
No. 40S West SD street tie towel around
the girls throat. He swore that he was
delivering ice at the house that day and
peeped through a crack in the door of Ma
mics room, where he saw Mccormick
strangle the child with a towel. Later
Ferrone weakened and admitted he had
perjured himself. Mccormick was re-
leased and Farrell re;rrested,
Farrell's counsel says the strangling was
woman's work and he expects so to
prove.
On Sunday night, the police say, he was
found in a barber shop at No. 794 Third
avenue. He had entered the place after it
was closed and turned out the gas. A pc
lceman found him crouching in corner
with a hammer in his hand. Ferrone was
held. The police intend to keep him I'M
der their eye while the Farrell trial is go
ing on, as they think he knows more about
il than he has vet told.

SNOW storm June. IL.

Fifty-six years ago Saturday Bratteboro
and vicinity were visited by a severe snow
storm, and the weather was unprecedent-
eddy cold for the season. All vegetation
was destroyed, including everything which
had been planted in the gardens. Three
weeks later the garden vegetables, which
had come up after second planting,
were destroyed, by the severe frosts.
There was no railroad running into
Brattleboro then, and the people were
obliged to go through the season without
vegetables.

An earthquake shock was felt distinctly
in Brattleboro at 1:45 Saturday morning.
People who were awake say that houses
were shaken very perceptbly, and that
doors were slammed by the shock. The
nervous shock which one woman sustained
was sufficient to cause illness. Mr.. Pratt,
the night Waterman at S. A. Smith q
Co.'s factory, says that almost the same
moment that the earthquake was felt a
brilliant meteor flashed across the sky and
exploded with a loud report. People who
felt the earthquake also heard the report,
but few saw the meteor.
