Notable Record for ocean Trim.

The record trip, just finished, of the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse would be more
surprising if made by any other of the
fast Atlantic racers. But that ship already
held the record from Southampton to New
York, she having made the run a year and
half ago in five days, % hours and 35
minutes. Her last trip over the same
course was made in five days, p houIs and
eight minutes or at the average rate of 22.-
~ nautical miles the hour for the whole
trip.
The rate of speed maintained is the in
teresting feature of this record trip, since
1t is within few hundredths of a mile of
the Wilhelm's fastest average run for one
day only. In November, 1897, her run
averaged 26,G0 statute miles per hour for
"a hours. On her run just completed she
averaged to make 26.05 statute miles the
hour. That many persons will live to see
ship that will maintain an average speed
across the Atlantic of 80 statute miles the
hour is not improbable. The recently
launched Oceanic may considerably lower
the record established by the Wilhelm
record that no other vessel of any other
line approaches sufficiently near to threat
en- the Wilhelm's supremacy. AS the dis
lance logged by the Wilhelm on her pres
ent trip is given as 314S miles she ran
some 4S miles out of the most direct
course Rutland News.

THE ODD FELLOWS HOME.
Col. II. w. Hail says Misleading state
ments Were Given Out BY Some One
Not In Harmony with the order.


Not in Harmony with the order.
Col. II. w. Hall of Burlington, presi-
dent of the board of trustees of the Gill
Odd Fellows home at Ludlow, has made a
public statement in reply to the story that
the cost was $500 a year for maintaining
each inmate in the institution. The article
to which he refers was sent from Benning-
ton to Boston paper and the substance of
1t was reprinted in several Vermont papers,
including The Phoenix. Col. Hall says:
mo doubt this emanated from some per-
son who is not in entire harmony with
either the home or the order, for the state
ments are wholly untrue. This home was
the gift of James 5. Gill, who was not a
member of the order at that time he hav-
ing built it for summer hotel at a cost
exceeding S25, 900. But not being design
ed for winter use, it was completed by the
home trustees in a most thorough manner
being furnished with adequate heating APP
paratus, and otherwise fitted for the rigors
of Vermont winters. The furnishing was
done by lodges, encampments and Rebekah
lodges at their earnest request, and when
completed and furnished was considered
one of the most complete and elegant
homes in the United States. Provision for
MAINTAINING IL Was lldue ny raising per
capita tax of so cents, less than one cent
per week. for each member in the jursdc-
ton. From this amount from $1,000 to
$500 has been laid aside annually for a
sinking fund, and the actual running ex-
penses have not any year exceeded $3.50
"While the home was designed wholly for
the aged and INDECENT Odd Fellows and
their families, yet, in few extreme cases
disabled and iDfirm brothers have been ad-
mitted and cared for wholly at the expense
of the home, no call ever being made to the
lodges to whom the brother belonged for
assistance. The administration of home
affairs has been of the most judicous and
economical kind, even the trustees paying
all their own expenses incident to attend
ing meetings, etc. The fact that all lodges
have promptly and most willingly paid
their assessments is indicative of its popu-
larity. Could the brother giving such
misleading and grossly inaccurate state
ments visit the home and witness the con-
tent of its few inmates, as well as the care
full and fraternal ministrations to their
numerous wants, we believe he would not
shudder at paying the enormous sum of
one cent each week for its maintenance"

Bryan Kicked over the Traces.

From the Boston Record
Bryan has kicked over the traces. He
fatty declines to have anything to do with
Croker's Jefferson birthday dinner in New
York, because the club has never shown
contrition for going back on the Chicago
platform in 1896. Byran stands on the
platform of silver or nothing, and we hope
he will stick there. Nothing would be bet
ter calculated to bury him beyond all hope
of resurrection. Meanwhile the debate as
to whether Croker or Bryan is the real
Jeffersonian.

WILL GO To JAIL,


i'Lh Inc 1hiIauephla PfesS
The United States circuit court of appeals
mas refused rehearing in the case of Jo-
seph wilkins, who at the time of his ar
rest was one of the largest dealers In oleo-
margarine in Washington, D. c., and How
ard Butler of Philadelphia who was in the
employ Of Wilkins, and both men win have
to go to jail for violation of the oIeomar-
garine laws. The two men were arrested
in this city at pier "a. South Delaware
avenue, in December, 1895, for removing
brands and the word oleomargarine from
packages containing that article.
The appellate court, in passing upon the
issue involved, had to consider a demurrer
presented for Wilkins and Butler, the prin-
cpal point of which was that the tndfct-
ment did not make out an offense against
the United States, and that while the act
Of Congress requires oleorna rgarine TO be
sold in certain kinds of packages it did not
specify how it should be branded Last
month the appellate court rendered its de-
cisiOn under an opinion filed by Judge Buff
hngtOn, and under this decision the tudg-
ment of the district court was affirmed.
1t was stated in the opinion substantially
that the act of Congress was one intended
for raising a revenue; that the regulation
which the commissioner of internal reye-
nue. had formulated, with the approval of
the Secretary of the Treasury regarding
the character of brands to be used was q
matter of detail, the same as is exercised
in the printing Of postage stamps. The
form of the United States coins, revenue
stamps, etc, and that the brand was in
tended as q receipt for the payment of
taxes, and that the regulation had not duly
the effect of law, but the courts We're com
PEELED to take judicial knowledge of it.
The defendants endeavored to obtain a
rehearing, but the application has now been
denied. The effect is that District Atto1-
ney Beck will move shortly for the COM
mitment of Wilkins and Butler, who will
have to serve their terms

The next national convention of the Wo-

practically unanimous in favor Of this city

national union, to which body the oonven-

of fixing place and time for the conven-
ton of 1900. A meeting Of the executive
committee was held in Seattle yesterday,
at which the committee gave expression
of it's preference for Washington.
The matter finally rests, however, with
the president, Mrs. i. NJ N. Stevens, and
the other general officers.

great deal of important business at it's
