Secretary OF War Alger Resigns.

A Washington dispatch of July 10
says: Secretary Alger today rendered to
the president his resignation of the war
portfolio. The resignation Will become
effective Aug l, though it was rendered
"at the pleasure Of the president" Not
withstanding the reports that Mr.. Alger
would not long continue at the head of
the war department, his actual resigna-
ton came suddenly and unexpectedly.
That 1t would come by the end of the
year was generally believed, but so little
was 1t expected at this time that some of
the cabinet officers, when the news be-
came public, were inclined to regard the
announcement as premature. Formal
acceptance of the resignation had not
been made by the president up to late
hour tonight, hut will be in a letter to
be written within the next day or two.
No official statement as to the cause of
the resignation was procurable either
from the president or from Secretary
Alger, neither of whom would talk on
the subject, nor was the letter of resigna-
ton obtainable at this time. For the
present nothing will be made known
officially concerning the severance of the
official relations between the president
and his war minister, but later on the
official correspondence closing the lat
ter's career as chief of the war depart
ment doubtless will be given to the press.

Bears in the Berry Season.

The berry season is proving a great
attraction to the bears. a Rutland boy
picking berries in Shrewsbury at the
foot of Bald mountain last week thought
for some time that he had competitor,
says the Herald. So he had, but the
competitor proved to be bear. The
Rutlandite dropped his pail and ran in
one direction and the bear in the opposite
direction. 1t Is not known what be-
came of the berries. Henry w. Cheney
was leading a horse on a road at the
base of Killington last week, when he
discovered bear standing erect In the
road some rods in front of him. The
bear escaped, not knowing that Mr..
Cheney was unarmed. John II. Page,
son of Mrs. John B. Page of Wellesley,
who has been camping out on Plco, re-
PORTS that he saw a bear with two cubs
last week,

His Seventy-Fourth Bear.

Isaac Pratt captured his 18th bear last
week in the mountains near Woodford.
The bear was young one and weighed
less than 100 pounds. Mr.. Pratt killed him
with hatchet and carried him ont of the
woods on his back, distance of nearly
two miles. The BEARS pelt was one of
the best ever obtained by the veteran
trap9er. The bounty on killing bear is
now Sl2. There are numerous indica-
tions of bears on the East mountain
near "Cold Spring." and the old depot
at the top. The berries bring them out
in goodly numbers, although if they are
not bothered or their cubs taken, they
will not hurt one, and will instead try to
run away. Mr.. Pratt says he knows
where there are two more, which he is
going to get before he gets through
with it.

Entire Herd Killed by Lightning.

j. VI. Geer of Ludlow sustained a
heavy loss last week when his entire
herd of cattle, consisting of thirteen
cows, one yearling and valuable bull,
was killed by lightning. The loss was
not discovered till evening, when Mr..
Geer went to the pasture to drive them
home for the night. He found them
under large tree, where they had
herded to keep out of the heavy storm.
When found their position showed plain.
ly that they were killed instantly, for no
marks of struggling were visible. 1t Is
a somewhat curious circumstance that
while the tree was shattered by the
lightning, no marks could be found on
the cattle. The hides were at once
taken off from the animals and the next
day the bodies were burned.

Had His Skull Crushed.

Louis Keezer, 5-year-old boy of
Montpelier, met with a shocking death
July II. Henry Campbell, employed in
driving the heavy 'iigger' used in cart
ing heavy blocks of granite for founda-
tion, had just attached his horses to the
vehicle. on which was a stone of about
1000 pounds weight. lie was ready to
leave the yard, when he noticed that the
little fellow had climbed on the load for
ride. Mr.. Campbell took the boy off
and cautioned him against getting on
again, after which he started away with
his team. 1t appears, however, that the
little fellow, unknown to the driver,
again tried to board the team; for after
Mr.. Campbell had turned from the drive
way onto Main street he saw the little
fellow lying motionless on the concrete
driveway. Thoroughly alarmed, he stop.
ped the team and ran to the spot where
the boy lay and to his horror found that
the little fellow had in some way fallen
under the rear wheel, which with its
immense load had passed over the lads
skull, crushing it to Jelly.

This Man Didn't Advertise.

Had he done so he might have worn
diamonds the past two years, says the
Brandon Union. Two years ago the
present summer Bostonian accepted an
invitation from E. G.. Stevens of Boston
and Brandon to come to Brandon and
enjoy day or two of fishing at Lake
Dunmore. At the time the invitation
was accepted the two friends were in
Boston, and together they sailed out
to secure the necessary "tackle." Among
other things they purchased a couple of
reels, just alike, and a line to cover the
reels. They selected an expensive and
very fine article and each purchased 400
feet, just alike with the exception that
the one selected by the friend contained
a couple more strands than Mr.. Stevens's
making it one size cOarser. When the
Bostonian arrived at Mr.. Stevens's he
found his handbag was missing. Besides
the fishing tackle, the bag contained set
of diamond studs and pair Of diamond
sleeve buttons. Diligent search for the
bag was made through the station agent
and conductor, but two years rolled by
without a clue to the missing article.
Two weeks ago Mr.. stephens and an
other man were fishing at Lake Dun
more and found that their reels were
exactly alike. On comparing the lines
they found them alike, except that one
was one number cOarser than the other.
The matter was laid before two lawyers,
who traced the reel back to young man
who lives on the road from Brandon to
Lake Dunmore. When inquiries were
made of this mans wife as to how her
husband obtained the reel and line, she
said that he found it on the road, and
without further questioning added that
he found valise containing the rec
and other articles several years ago. He
set the valise aside thinking 1t would bt
advertised for and he would thus fine
the owner. The valise was delivered tC
the owner, and contained all of tn,
articles intact, with the exception of tn
reel and line.
