Need Soap and Water.

Gen. NJ. c. Butler. talking about his
experiences In Cuba to Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
said he got along pretty well, but
ascribed his comfortable feeling to the
fact that he took two thorough baths
every day. He said one could have a
tolerable degree of immunity from dis
eafe and discomfort by observing a
careful diet. abstaining entirely from
stfniulants. and keeping a close and
constant acquaintance with water.

for its size and extraordinary weight
On Its head was a crown composed of
copper, with gold covering shaped
In pieces resembling plates and but
tons, having decorations of leaves and
fruits. On the case containing the
body were painted figures resembling
those of the zodiac. A nearly unde-
cipherable Greek inscription was also
on 1t. Between the folds of the dress
was found piece OF papyrus. with an
inscription which gave the name OF
the dead monarch as Pentemenon.
The mummy in its wrappers weighed
160 pounds. Its length was six feet
one inch, the head was abnormally
large and the shoulders very broad
Next the dress was found an outer

oglyphics. which denoted that the
original was one OF the royal house OF

Banner Rum Hole of the County.

At the meeting of the Anti-Saloon league
held last Wednesday evening in Trinity
church, DIR. o. l.. Watson spoke on the
management OF the Montpelier liquor
agency. The doctor commended the man
ner in which this Institution is at present
conducted, and explained the large sales
in part, by showing that this agency sup
plies population OF 10000 people outside
Of Montpelier.
Commenting on this statement the Barre
Daily Times said edtorially last Saturday:
"The claim is highly ridiculous. The total
population OF Washington county is little
under 10000. II the Montpelier claims were
true the Montpelier agency would supply
somewhere in the neighborhood Of $4,000
people or over half the county. There are
nine or ten liquor agencies in the county, or
these the Barre agency supplies Barre city
and a large proportion Of East Montpelier,
Berlin and the town Of Barre, altogether
some $4,000 to $1,000 people. The other
agencies outside of Montpelier doubtless
average not less than 900 people each or
some 1900 all told. These with the Barre
agency therefore supply about q 900 OF the
80 600 people in the county leaving II 900
to get their stimulants at the Montpelier
agency, or about 5000 outside OF Montpel-
lier itself instead OF the 10000 claimed.
Really Montpelier should try to develop q
better excuse for running the banner rum
hole OF the county, II not of the entire
state"
The editor OF the Times should consult
the weekly and monthly sales at the Barre
agency before 1t talks above whisper OF
banner rumholes"

Assault at Mortified.

Miss Jane Pingree of Northfield was
awakened at fou.- clock Sunday morning
by feeling pressure upon her throat. She
awoke to see burglar, who told her to
manded her money. Upon being informed
that she had no money he unsuccessfully
attempted a criminal assault Mrs. Julia
Durkee, who was sleeping in an upstairs
apartment, heard the noise and came down
with lamp in her hand. The burglar took
a chair in his hands and smashed 1t into
pieces which he flung at Mrs. Durkee when
she appeared.
Miss Pipgree fed by the bedroom window
and Mrs. Durkee from the front door.
They ran in their night clothes to the resi-
dence Of Fred Fuller, and deputy sheriff
Winch was summoned. The burglar had
effected an entrance through the pantry
window, ten feet from the ground and left
by the same route. He was tracked for
short distance but was NOT captured.
Miss Pingree was roughly handled about
the throat but otherwise was not injured.
Our Northfeld correspondent gives addi-
tional particulars regarding the assault on
Miss Pingree Sunday morning. In the 1T
ground under the window a slipper in a
rubber was found. 1t was found that the
same person had tried to get into the home
of Mrs. William Bean who lives next door
by getting on fence to get into the win
dow and the fence gave way making noise
which frightened him away.
Mrs, SANFORD, daughter OF MIS- bean,
stated that she saw Oliver Osborne, a col
ored man who works for Cross Brothers,
| purchase a pair Of carpet slippers at the
store of Duttou & Richmond about three
weeks ago. Deputy Sheriff Winch went to
! the house where Osborne lives alone in an
abandoned tenement near the electric light
station and found an overcoat which " as
wet and had burdocks on it. He was wash
ing some stockings. He was taken by the
sheriff to Miss Plngree's home. She could
not identify him and he was allowed to re-
turn home.
Your correspondent visited Mr.. Osborne
late last evening and found that he had re-
tired but soon came TO the door, and was in.
vited to enter. He stated that the day be-
fore some person had entered his house
while he was at work and took the slippers
and rubbers, together with pair Of pants
that had been given him by fellow work
man. He stated that he was innocent and
would remain and work and should not at
tempt to run away. He has worked steady
for Gross Brothers while here. He has
been a sailor. He states that the slipper
and rubber belonged to him. Osborne was
arrested Sunday evening and was given
hearing Monday.
