George Legasy, who has been working at
the shoe factory, left town with his family

but Legaey saw him board the train and uui-
city left the car on the other side unseen by
Lowell, and got some one to drive him to
Walpole, when he took the next train to
| worcester. Several creditors bemoan their
loss, but their loss would have been greater
had he staid longer. So say good-bv to
your legacy; like some others it had wings.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1899.
The Dewey Celebration.

In response to an invitation from Gov.
ernor Smith large delegation of repre-.
sentative citizens of the state met in the
senate chamber in Montpelier Wednes-
day to plan popular demonstration in
honor of Admiral Dewey when he reaches
Montpelier, the city of his birth.
Among those present were N. W. Fiske
OF Isle La Motto, L. M. Read of Bellows
Falls, j. j. Estey of Brattleboro, S. E.
Pingree of Hartford, DIR. H. D. Holton
and Speaker Kittredge Haskins of Brattle-
boro, w. B. Wall of Randolph, Senator
Jonathan Ross, Lieut.-Gov. Bates and
Harry Blodgett of St. Johnsbury, Gen. W.
H. Gilmore of Fairlee, E. j. .Ormsbee of
Brandon, Representatives W. w. Grout of
Kirby and H. H. Powers Of Morrisville. j.
w. Stewart OF Middlebury, Mayor J. w.
Gordon of Barre, G. S. Page of Hyde
Park, T. M. Deal, G. S. Forbes and Col
Frank l.. Greene of St. Albans, U. A..
Woodbury. and T. S. Feck of Burlington,
Pres. A. D. Brown OF Northfeld, w. w.
Stickney Of Ludlow, DR.. w. N. Platte OF
Shoreham, Oin Merrill Of Enosburg Falls,
Judge Watson of Bradford Charles Dewey,
Fred E. Smith, W. A. Lord Arthur Ropes
Col. Q. D. Clark, w. P. Dillingham;, Hon
B. F. Fifeld, L. Bart Cross, F. A. How
land aud others of Montpelier, and G.. &.
Benedict Of Burlington.
Gov. Smith stated that the opinion
throughout the state is that the demonstra.
tion should be at the capitol. There were all
sorts of opinions as to what the nature ol
the demonstration should be. Charles
Dewey, brother Of the admiral said that
in bis opinion quiet and not too long re-
ception would please the admiral most.
W. B. Wall of Randolph advocates having
every band and every organization in the
state present and letting the state pay the
bills. Ex.-Gov. Ormsbee thought that the
governor could easily find 100 men in the
state who would guarantee the money
pay all bills, trusting to the legisla-
ture to reimburse them. Gov. Smith
said it was bis intention to have the
National Guard of Vermont, the First
Vermont regiment in the late wal, equipped
and modified in Montpelier.
1t was finally voted that the governor
should appoint committe Of one from
each county, himself to be the chair
man, to confer with committee from
the city of Montpelier, the two committees
to have the entire ordering Of the demon
stration.
The liberal sum of $4,000 was quickly
guaranteed by those present and the state
will doubtlessly be asked to pay something
like this amount at the next meeting of the
legislature.
Governor Smith has appointed bis COM
mittee, as follows: Addison county, F. H.
Button, Middlebury; Bennington, o. M.
Barber OF Bennington; Caledonia, Harry
Blodgett of St. Johnsbury Chittenden, Eli

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that con

them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured

Railroad Consolidation.

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
has been talking about railroad consolida-
ton. He diagnoses the situation thus: ut
is characteristic of the railroad consohoa-
tions now taking place that no small line
has any power Of resistance against large
system whose owners make up their mind
to grasp the small line. They are abso-
lutely helpless in the presence Of the huge
capital and powerful lines of the great
company. As the Concord railroad with
its $40, 100000 capital had no power Of
resistance against the Boston & Maine
railroad with its $9O,OOO,OOO capital, SO
the Boston & Maine with its 800, 600
has no chance against the New York Cen
tral with its $6OO,OOO,O0O. The greater
globe of water will absorb the smaller
globe of water as soon as their circumier-
ences come in contact"
