lodged in the Rutland county Jail, saws

into the store of Brown d RYDER at West

and Deputy Sheriff Nash of Bennington
arrested him in New York state on the

which he made his way nearly home.

officers Saturday, after some trouble.
Bayorook shot at the officers, who re-
turned the fire, but no one was injured.
and he was finally captured. Baybrook
was brought before United States Com

at Brattleboro Wednesday morning,
when he was bound over to the October
term of United States district court at
Rutland, the bail being fixed at $500.
In default of bail he was sent to the

about 10 years old, had sold the watches

for what he could get, but II of the
watches were recovered, as was the

EVOLUTION AND SCIENTISTS.

a new work, lately published in
Germany and said to be very dam.
aging to evolution, is being men
toned by American reviewers. We
have not yet seen copy, but know
ing the absolute want of evidence upon
which evolutionists rest their theories,
there can be no question that very soon
they will be swept from existence like
chati before the wind. Scientists gem
orally know but very little of the things
which they teach, the worst part of their
ignorance being the inability to define
between the things which they do know
and those which they do not. Chemists,
so far as we know, are accurate In
their experiments, and give facts
correctly. But physicists are largely
hopelessly ignorant of first prin-
ciples, and of course utterly incompetent
to teach. And yet our schools and
colleges are filed with these blunderers
teaching, from the same text book, or
Others equally worthless, the errors
which they had themselves been taught.
1t Is thus that the undulatory theories of
sound, light, heat and color, have been
perpetuated, the first for thousands of
years, since the time of Pythagoras the
others for shorter period, since New
tons time, who was great enough to see
their tallacy.
Against these delusions of science a
fresh wave of vigorous thought is I'M
questionably rising, and we may hope
within few years to see the whole
brood of present errors eradicated, and
all the physical sciences established upon
a permanently sound basis.

fled to in our present war with Spain.
If the salary scale shows a partlality
for the army, the prize laws more than
offset this in favor of the navy. The
surrender to our army of Santiago, with
a number of Spanish ships in the harbor,
has brought the matter into public view
in way forcibly to indicate the injus-
tlce of the prize laws.
Shortly after the surrender a dispute
arose between Gen. Shafter and Admiral
Sampson as to who should have the
naturally claimed them for the army, as
part of the surrender, but Sampson
appears to have differed as to the mean
ing of the law. The government at
Washington decided that the surrender
to the army included the vessels. and
that such being the fact the ships be-
longed to neither army nor navy, but to
the government of the United States, and
that no prize money should be dis
trIbuted.
Had these vessels surrendered at sea
to Sampson, there would have been no
question of right in a claim for prize
money on his part; but the surrender
having been made to Shafter, the prizes
go to the government, with no bonus to
the captors.
If this relic of the days of freebootIng
on the high seas must be perpetuated,
let it be extended in the cause of Justice
and common-sense and include the army
as well as the navy.

ETHICS FOR SUBSCRIBERS.

The Burlington Clipper in recent
issue prints a long list of delinquent sub
scribers who evidence no intention to
pay bills sent them for subscriptions
due. The Clipper promises other Install
ments in the future. While this is
questionable way of getting even" with
dead beats, it calls attention to a moral
obliquity in a very large number of
newspaper subscribers. Every publisher
has had the experience. Men who in all
very soul of honor, think nothing of
neglecting or refusing to settle any ac-
count that may be held against them for
subscription dues by a newspaper pub
Usher Just why the exception is made
in this instance is a difficult matter to
analyZe. There is something intangible
about the value of newspaper, which
intangibility is not met in the case of
groceries, meat and coal. That may be
partial explanation. But the agree
ment to pay is no less binding in the one
case than in the other, and the moral
obliquity evidenced by a refusal to pay
the grocery man his just dues is not
lessened when the creditor happens to be
a publisher.
The Clipper subscribers who find their
names in the published list will no doubt
rave and threaten libel suits against the
fighting editor of the paper. They will
be able to prove by cloud of witnesses
that they have a first-class reputation in
the matter of prompt settlement of &C
counts with their home merchants, and
therefore their publication as dead beats
is libel of the deepest dye. And Editor
Harris will be mighty lucky if he gets off
without being asked to pay for the fun
he is having with them. But the parti-
ality of the law will not alter the facts. !
So far as their dealings with the Clipper
are concerned, they are dead beats of
particularly sombre hue.

Fair Haven and Poultney have a MUIR

dead are Mrs. X. b. Robinson and little
daughter and Mrs. Frances Metheney. a

committed suicide with poison at Lake
st. Catherine, while in camp there on
Monday night. When the news reached
her sister at Fair Haven, the latter shot

against him has been settled by his pay

warrant under which he was arrested is

Z. H. Martin of Montpelier had one of
his large pair of team horses struck bv
lightning one day last week. Mr.. Martin
had the horse in a pasture. He went
there Monday and found the animal
dead. There was large abrasion on the
horses back and it is believed that he
was struck by a bolt of lightning. The
horse weiged nearly 400 pounds and
was valuable animal.
