the rivers, climbed the volcanoes,
penetrated miasmic swamps and spent
weeks in the heart of the virgin tropical
forests. He is also supplying material

famous among,the worlds entomologists,
including w. Pannatt, London's butter
fly collector Swinhol. the great Oxford
insect merchant; Friese, the bee student ;
Brioll, the Hungarian beetle collector :;
Cesteoire of Lyon. DR.. \. Fenyes, of
the Austro-H Hungarian royal family. has
Just placed large order with the young
Vermonter, who learned how to catch a
butterfly without getting the dust off IN
Otter Creek valley. With the assistance
of Mr.. Barrett many species new 10

good number of them will bear the name
of "barrettis" as lol G as there are names

Priynte Letters a. Eyidence.

Judge Thompson has handed down a
decision in the somewhat noted
chancery suit of Mrs. Vivian Barrett
against States Attorney Frank L. Fish of
Vergennes, Diminishing the bill. The
decision is a very important one, as It
virtually asserts that persons private
letters are not only subject to seizure by
an officer, but admissions of guilt con-
tanned In such letters, like voluntary
confessions, can be used as evidence in
open court. The case has attracted
much attententiOn as the legal questions
raised were very novel; 1t will be re-
membered that at the time of the investl-
CATION of the smith Davis case about 40
letters were seized from Vivian Barrett's
trunk in White River Junction and
turned over to States Attorney Fish.
The decision leaves him free to use the
letters In evidence, though in all proba-
bility he will never do so, as the evidence
contained in the letters would not be
sufficient TO convict either persons of
adultery, the charge against her and

DEATH OF FATHER LYNCH.


The well-Known Catholic Divine Passes
Away Suddenly at Fair Haven.
Rev. Thomas Lynch, died suddenly at
Fair Haven Saturday. lie was driving
home from a sick call, when it was
noticed that sou ething was wrong
with him. Help was at hand and
he was being assisted out of the vehicle
when death claimed him.
Rev. Father Lynch was born in the
county of Meath, Ireland, Sept. s, 1892
He entered the college of All Hallows in
Dublin. where on June 20, 1855, he was
ordained to holy priesthood.
In October of the same year, he in COM
pany with the Rt. Rev. Louis De Goes
BRAND, later bishop of the diocese of
Burlington, came to America and was
located at once in Burlington as assistant
rector at st. Mary's cathedral, Burling-
ton. On Dec. %, 1858, he was appoint
ed vicar general of the diocese of Bur-
lington and on Nov. l, 1859, he was
transferred to West Rutland, where he
purchased lot of ground and built a
large marble church. While there he
also had charge of the missions at Castle
ton, Poultney and Fair Haven. In
Poultney he built handsome church
edfice and laid the foundation for a
similar structure at Fair Haven.
In 1869, when Rt. Rev. Bishop De
Goesbrand went to Rome to be present
at the Vactican council, he called Father
Lynch to Burlington to become rector of
st. Mary's cathedral and administrator
of the diocese during the absence of his
lordship. On three subsequent occasions
Father Lynch officiated in the same
capacity during the absence Of the bis
hop. He remained In Burlington as rec
tor of the cathedral from 1869 to 1896
and during that time made many i'm
provements on the church property.
Under his direction the present hand
some episcopal residence was erected
and he also had charge of the cOnstruc-
ton of Mount st. Mary's academy and
st. Patrick's convent.
On June -, 1896, he was called to Fair
Haven to serve as pastor of the Church
of Our Lady Of the Seven Dolors, the
foundation of which he laid when he was
located In West Rutland. Since his
pastorate at Fair Haven Father Lynch
has built handsome parochial residence.
He is survived by one sister, Mrs. w.
Farley of New York city, two nieces,
Sister Mary Patrick and Mary Gabriel at
Mount st. Mary's academy, and ne
phew, Rev. Father FOgan of East Bos-
ton. The funeral was held at 10. a M,
on Tuesday morning at Fair Haven.

mains taken to Burlington for inter-
ment. They were not successful in their
mission, however, and burial was at Fair
Haven.

forbidden to drink wines or spirits,

used in moderation, has no more eff

At the conclusion Of the speech for the

HAVANA Is a HEALTHY CITY

infected ports must undergo quarantine

lea.
The health Of Havana, the surgeon points
out, is marvellous. The only case OF yellow
fever existing is a light one taken sick at
sea two days before the arrival OF the pa
tient here, and DR.. Drummer, the chief quar-
antine officer OF Havana, still persists 1t is
not a case OF yellow fever.
Spanish bank bills in quantities are in the
possession OF various municipalities and
this has caused the question of their ulti-
mate disposal to be raised. Their present
value is s per cent, but they are received

OF these bills. and II is estimated that the
governments safes in the island have over
0,OO0,O 900. There are frequent rumors re-
garding their redemption. A Spanish mer-
chant says a friend OF his received a tele-
gram from Madrid asking him II the hold
ers OF these bills would accept 80 per cent,
and Senior Duarte, a Spanish merchant. has
sued the Spanish bank for this per cent on

and will appeal to the supreme court.

WORK OF PEACE CONFERENCE
American Delegates 90 the Gathering
Come to the Front with n
Manifesto.

Copyright, 1899. by Press Publishing Coz
II HAGUE, June 12s-(New York World
Cablegram-Special Telesram.)-T have OBJ
tanned for publication in America the fol-
lowing manifesto issued by the American
delegates to the International Peace con-
v~ention:
This commission is Informed that mis-
leading reports have been cabled to Amer
lea regarding the work of the drafting COM
mittee on arbitration and the exact position
of the American proposals.
The American plan for a permanent tri-
bunal, which already has been correctly set
forth in the American press, has been re-
ferred, with other similar propositions, TO
a drafting committee. This committee will
report to the full commission on arbitration
the exact text of the American proposals
as submitted and also the exact text of all
other proposals submitted, together with a
draft OF the proposed plan, embodying such
features OF all the plans submitted as the
drafting committee shall Professionally
recommend to the committee on arbitration.
"Afterward the conference itself will
finally pass judgment upon the various
projects submitted. The fact that in the
drafting committee the English proposals
are used as a basis of discussion does not
indicate in the least the abandonment of
any of the other plans.
1T is not expected that the drafting COM
mittee will be ready to report to the COM
mission on arbitration for a week or ten
days. All statements regarding the work
meanwhile must be accepted as mere sur
misses"
AT an adjourned meeting OF the delegates
of the peace conference under the presi-
dency of NJ. De Staal, this morning, it was
resolved to furnish the newspapers with
statements of the proceedings of the com.
mittees as we'll as of the: plenary sittings.
The drafting committee OF the arbitration
committee of the peace conference met to-
day and continued the discussion OF the
arbitration scheme. The delegates not hav.
ing received additional instructions from
their respective governments, the committee
adjourned until Friday without further
progress. This evening the delegates at.
tended a water fete given in their honor by
the Bathing societies at Schveningen, about
two miles northwest of The Hague.

STORM BREAKING UP THE ICE
Lake Bennett Too Low to Admit of
Boats Passing Into the
River.

SKAGWAY, Alaska, June 5.-(via Seattle,
Wash, June 12.)-A heavy wind and snow
storm has prevailed from the summit clear
down to Lake Bennett for several days. The
weather is now moderating. Wind has
broken up the ice in Lake Bennett, leav-
ing open water, through which some scow
and small boats started down the lake. One
large scow, loaded with potatoes and several
thousand dollars worth OF merchandise and
provisions, was caught in the ice and
crushed. The men were all saved, but they
had a narrow escape. Their names could
not be ascertained.
Lake Summit was frozen solid Friday
night, June 2, so that wagons crossed it in
safety.
The water in Lake Bennett is said to be
three feet lower this year than last and
eight inches too low for launching steamer
now on the bank. Cariboo crossing, at the
lower end of Lake Bennett, has only a few
inches OF water in 1t and boats cannot pos
sibly cross it unless the water rises several
feet.
No communication has been had with Atlin
for several weeks and none can be had
until navigation opens and permits OF boats
going around the lakes.
On the night OF June 2 a man on the trail
crawled into Log Cabin with both feet
frozen.
