Thompson's sister and the beneficiary
died several years before the testatrix.
Up to about II years ago Mrs. Thompson
expended nearly all the income of her
husbands estate in pbilanthropic work,
but since then she has been unable, on
account of her health, to do much work
of that sort, consequently the income has
accum llated, and her estate amounts to
about $780, 900.
The New York Herald published last
Sunday half page of story relating to the
Thomas Thompson will, the larger part Of
which was sensational newspaper talk.
The Herald intimated that Rhinebeck was
threatened with an influx of needy seams
tresses. 1t says: "Since the summer of
1867 the people of Rhinebeck have never
seen either Mr.. or Mrs. Thompson, al
though one survived year and the other
more than 80 years after that memorable
visit. Moreover, the seamstresses of that
far day are seamstresses no longer. The
majority of them are under the sod of the
village churchyard and the remaining ones
own houses and are otherwise we'll to do,
with. few exceptions. Now the mighty
question that is agitating Rhinebeck Of to-
day lie, Where can we find seamstresses
enough to enable us to hold on to this
money~
In the course of an interview Geo.
Esselstyn, who is one of the leading
lawyers of the village, said: 81 speak
for the seamstresses, having been re-
tanned by them to look out for their inter-
ests. The will will surely stand, and the
poor women who are shaving their lives
away over the needle will be relieved. l
am in favor of the other charities, but
only after the seamstresses, under the pro-
visions of the will, have been provided for !;
and there are more of them than you will
believe. No, do not think it will have
the effect of turning the whole town into
seamstress colony. The trustees will
use discrimination; but if the will stands
at all, it must stand first of all for the orig
inal bene6ciaries. contemplate making
trip TO Boston in the interests Of my
clients, and will leave no stone unturned

Prof. Robert Bunsen, S8, who died We'd
nesdaY at Heidelberg, Germany, was one
of the greatest chemical inventors of the
century. He produced remedy for acute
arsenical poisoning. He was the inventor
of the Bunsen battery cell, the Bunsen
burner and the filter pump.
1t is impossible to estimate the debt
owed by present day industrial chemists
and physicists to these contrivances which
Bunsen invented for his own use and
which are now ordinary apparatus in every
laboratory. His use of electrolysis led to
the distinctive separation of a number of
metals, and he enriched the science of
health by his invention of the ice calori-
meter. His great discoveries in spectrum
analysis date from the time, about 1850,
when he was able to devote himself to the
subject and made known Caesium. He
practically initiated three distinct ranches
of science in this direetiOn-spectrosco
optics, spectroscopic astronomy and spec
troscopic chemistry.

Horse ThIefs, Jsek.onvIIIs.

Liveryman Daniels of North Adams let
a horse and carriage Tuesday to stranger
who wanted to drive to Stamford TO see
his daughter. The police learned Wednes-
day that he had no daughter there, but was
seen in Stamford with two women Tues
day evening. From there he went to
Jacksonville where It is alleged he tried to
sell the horse.
The North Adams local police aided by
Vermont authorities, finally found the
horse in Greenfield. The man who hired
the animal was about 95 years old, of dark
complexion, with dark moustache, and
wore straw hat. He left a whee5 at the
stable, which was afterward founcs to have
been stolen from North Adams shop.

King RIchard,s Flop.

Richard Croker amazed the New York
Democrats by his political somersault
on his return from England Friday. He
went away saying Bryan was not the
man for leader in 1900. On his return he
declared:
"Mr. Bryan's great strength lies in his
sympathy for and knowledge Of the plain
people. No other American has ever been
so close to the masses. He understands
and feels for the toiler and the toiler un-
derstands and trusts him. l consider him
to be one of the greatest men America has
produced"
Before going to Europe he was known
as an enthusiastic imperiallst, who in pub
lished interviews spoke strongly in favor
of expansion; now he says the Democratic
party must agree upon its national pro-
gram, and prepare for the overthrow of
trusts and imperialism. He charges Nc
Kinley with turning the war in the Phil
ippines into partisan scheme for his own
election.
He dismisses the silver question by say
ing it will be regulated in time, and Con-
gress may be safely trusted to settle the
ratio. He claims that every great public
improvement accomplished in New York
is the result of machine politics. He
claims that the great need Of Greater New
York is the right to govern itself, that its
charter is defective, and that with bi-par-
tisan police commissioners there is a strug-
gle for patronage and the uniformed force
is demoralized.

MAJOR JOHN ARMS.
Interesting Historical Facts about One
of BrRttIebOrO's Pioneer Settlers.

Interesting Historical Facts about one
of BrattIsbOrO's Pioneer Settlers.
Anything relating 10 Major Arms is of
great historical interest in this town. He
was one of the earliest settlers away from
Ft. Dummer. He came from Deerield to
where the Retreat farm is in 1862, and
died there March 9, ITO, leaving widow,
three daughters and two sons. His widow
died March Z, 1893, in her 73d year. He
kept a well-known tavern at that place be-
fore his death, after bin, his widow,
Susanna Arms, kept 1t, and after her their
son, Josiah Arms. The house stood until
it was removed few years ago to make
room for the present Retreat farm house.
Major John Arms was the first sheriff of
Cumberland county, and aforemost resident
here while he lived. Many papers of his
are very interesting. His youngest son,
John Willard Arms, was something of a
poet. A sample of his poetry relating to the
Westminster massacre is printed in Halls
Eastern Vermont" at pages 234.5. Han
nah, second daughter of Major John Arms,
married Ebenezer Fox Aug. 20, 177S.
Robert Goodenough married their daugh-
ter. John Arms GoodenOugh and Mrs.
Christopher d. Wallace, their children,
have presented some papers to the Brooks
library for preservation; among them is
short record of the family of Major John
Arms and of his father, John Arms, and a
scrap of a record of the family of John
and Hannah Evane, and an autograph letter
of Thomas Chandler of Chester, Judge of
the inferior court of common pleas of
Cumberland county, to the widow Susanna
Arms, dated Dec. 25, ITO, relating to the
will and estate of Major John Arms; and
there is also an autograph copy by Micah
Townshend, secretary of state, of an act of
the legislature of Vermont pardoning
John Willard Arms as Tory at 10 years
of age on his return to the state; and a
poem of his in five stanzas, the last one of
which is:
Then free from all this Care and Strife
Keep me, ye Sacred Powers divine
And pleased when ye Demand nv Life,
May with joy that Life resign"
There is also among them an autograph
letter from Elijah Grout at Newfane,
Sept. "a, 1910, to Josiah Arms requesting
anything sent to his house for Solomon
(Phelps) or the writer to be sent to ESQ.
Knoulton's Immediately. This was in the
early part of the Revolution, and whatever
was expected to be sent would probably
relate to the events of the times. Esq.
Luke Knoulton lived on Newfane Hill and
was the grandfather of Gov. Holbrook.
This is a valuable gift and the papers
have been placed in a document file and
entered on the catalogue where they are
accessible and may be readily found.
They have also presented pocket book
which probably belonged to, and " as used
by, Major Arms and by an ancestor having
the initials P. E., who was probably an
Evans; and what would be called house
wife, which was a kind of dressing scase in
which to keep articles for personal use, on
which 'Ebenezer Fox. N. B." was wrought
by Susanna Arms, eldest daughter of John
Arms, who married Simon Willard.

FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1899.

George e. Foss of Chicago, a former
Vermonter and one of the youngest rep
resentatives in Congress, has completed
tour of inspection to the naval stations and
naval yards throughout Europe. He was
hob-nobbing with Kaiser William on the
latter's private yacht last week. He has a
large collection of interesting data relating
to naval affairs which he will bring before
Congress at an early date. He believes
enlarging and organizing the navy is one
of the most important works of Congress,
and says he will devote all his time as long
as he remains in the House to pushing
along naval improvement.

The Engineers Magazine of Boston
has been bought by The Industrial Press
of New York and combined with Live
Steam, one of the Industrial Press pub
locations, and the two papers will hereafter
be published under the name of Steam Engi-
neering. The August number presents a
handsome appearance, both in mechanical
execution and in its varied contents. An
article of special interest to men in the
profession is one which describes, with
half-tone illustrations, the powerful tan
dem compound engine which the Rice g.
Sargent company of Providence, r. l., has
recently installed in the paper mill of F..
w. Bird & Son at East Walpole, Mass.
Another article of immediate timely in
terest gives an account of the Diesel
Rational Heat Motor, the invention of a
young Bavarian, which has been develop
ed in Germany, and which is attracting
wide attention among mechanical engi-
neers. There would seem 10 be no reason
to doubt that the purpose Of the publish
ers will be fulfilled in making Steam
E ngineering take leading place in its field.
