f. E. Gorham came up from Boston
last week for a short visit with his parents.
DR.. A. W. Gorham of Waitsfeld was in
town for few hours last Friday.
Miss Ada Walker has been in Chester
during most of the winter, but is now at
home. Miss Norah is at work in Keene.
Curtis Cutting, brother of Hon. w. b.
Cutting, came up last week and remained
few days. He has not been in the place
for several years, living very quietly at his
home in Green River.
The common caterpillars that are wont
to infest apple and wild cherry trees are
very scarce about here the present year.
Heretofore they have been numerous, es-
pecially along the Saxtons River road.
The long winter, or the late spring, or
something else, seems to have pretty much
finished them. We see or hear nothing of
the maple worm yet.
The entertainment given by the Kurn
Hattin boys Tuesday evening was a very
good one indeed. The boys show the eff
fects of the excellent training given to
them in the home. 1t would be difficult
to gather in any of the places about here a
company who would show such proficiency
in defamation, recitation, songs, etc.
Your correspondent would recommend any
of the Christian Endeavor societies or Ep-
worth leagues hereabouts that desire a
good entertainment to send for Superin-
tendent Maynard and his boys. The pro-
ceeds, something over SO, were divided
between the Christian Endeavor society
and the home.

We have not the figures of domestic pro-
duction for the year 1898, but imports of
tin and terne plate fell off to III, 662, 345
pounds in that year, and as American con-
sumption is undoubtedly increasing all the
time, the inference is that American pro-
duction further displaced foreign tin in the
home market in 1898.
At the beginning of the industry eight
years ago, a large part of the tin plate
was made from imported black plates, or
the steel or iron sheets which are coated
to make tin plate. But in 1897 only one
tenth of per cent of the American pro-
duction was made from imported plates.
Aside from the tin itself, which has to be
imported, the American tin plate is now ex-
clusively an American product. All of the
tin mine discoveries in the United States
have so far come to nothing practically.
Most of the tin is obtained from Australia
and the Straits Settlement.
The present price of Bessemer tin plates
at New York per 100-pound box of stan
dard size is So so to 1886. Before Ameri-
can production began the price of Welsh
plate at the same place was So to 81 box
Domestic production has lowered the price
nearly 80 per cent The English industry
has been dealt a terrible blow by the rise
Vi Ine AHeIlChH luuusuTyi anu more IMAM a
fourth of the Welsh mills are reported to
be idle. Our own production is beginning
to exceed the home demand and hence the
combination of tin plate mills to regulate
production and prices.
The current Yale Review contains care
full account of the growth and prospects of
the American industry, by Frank l.. Nc
Vey of Minnesota university. He main
tains that while the Mckinley tariff gave
the industry start, it could not have lived
and grown but for the coincident fall in the
price of steel and in the price of labor
This is shown by the fact that former tariff
attempts to start the industry failed 1t is
certainly to be admitted that the opponents
of the Mckinley tin plate duty were wrong
in the extreme predictions of some of them
that natural conditions such as climate
were against the establishment of the in
dustry in the United States. At the same
time it is to be questioned whether, now
that the industry has become so we'll es-
tablished and is organizing into monopoly,
tariff so high as 8 cents a pound should
be maintained as in the Dingley law, when
the Wilson bill tariff of 1.2 cents was
proved to be more than sufficient for all
purposes of reasonable protection.

HOME MISSION WORK

OF the Vermont COngregationaIists-
Report Presented by Rev. c. II. Mer-
rIII at the Convention in Hartford
This Week.
At the annual meeting of the National
Congregational Home Missionary society,
held in Hartford, Conn, this week, Rev.
c. II. Merrill of St. Johnsbury secretary
of the Vermont Domestic Missionary soci-
ETY., presented a report of the work in Yer
mont of which this is z summary:
The receipts Of the society for the year
were IS, 4S2. II; the national society re-
ceived Sl2, G7450; total amount raised in
the state, S2l, 157 27 the auxiliary paid
into the treasury of the national society,
S34O.Sl; the auxiliary expended in its
own field, S9,71531.
Fifty-eight missionaries have been en-
ployed during the whole or a part of the
year in connection with 63 churches and
10 out stations. Only one new church has
been added to the roll. 1t is eight years
since any church has been stricken from
the roll. Four churches nominally have
come to self-support. Unless legacies
come again speedily to the rescue, the finan-
cial question will present grave problems.
There have been four ordinations to the
ministry. The calls for the work of our
young women have become less, and the
last year has witnessed some reduction
in that direction, both in numbers en-
ployed and in work performed.
Other denominations have moved to for
mulate plans whereby overcrowding and
sectarian rivalry may be avoided. OF the
II Congregational churches last organized,
only two were in places where there was
any other religious service when Congre-
gational work began, and those two were
in growing communities where Congrega-
tionalists were welcomed by pastors of
other denominations.
Vermont has now a larger Congrega-
tional membership than either of the other
northern New England states, and this
with smaller population. Vermont has
fewer cities and fewer large churches than
the others, and relatively other denomina-
tons are not as strong.

POSTAL CLERK FINED
For Taking n Check from a Letter Adj
dressed to Dwight l.. Moody.


G.. Pierrepont Beach, who was formerly
employed by the government as railway
postal clerk between BrattlebOro and New
London, was indicted in the United States
court in Hartford, Conn, Tuesday for
robbing the mails. The indictment
charged that Beach illegally opened a let
ter addressed to Dwight l.. Moody and re-
moved a check for 500. 1t was charged
that he receipted for the money and mailed
the receipt to the woman who sent the
check as gift for evangelistic work,
thanking her for the gift and promising
that the money would be expended accord
ing to her wishes.
Postal Inspectors White and Pendleton
testified that while the case was one in
which they could win, much inconvenience
would be saved by plea of guilty. Judge
Alfred Colt of the New London probate
court, Postmaster John Mckinley and ex-
Postmaster Bryan f. Mahan of New Lon
don said that Beach had a most excellent
reputation and that his present trouble
was his only lapse. References were given
to John Hobson of the firm of Hobson IL
Chaplin, and to other leading New London
merchants.
Judge Townsend inquired if the &C
cused could pay a commensurate fine and,
on being asked how large a fine was indi-
Gated, said that $500 and costs would cover
the offence. Counsel for Beach demurred
to the size and said that in his opinion
$500 would be sufficient and that Beach
could pay that sum. 81 shall be obliged
TO make the punishment $500 and costs,
or years Imprisonment" responded
Judge Townsend. The fine was chosen
and Mr.. Whittelsey stated that he would
become responsible for the payment. The
costs were approximately $75.

The eager desire of the Kaiser to reGs-

which the American navy was praised, was
probably the slick work of the new journal

The statement comes from New York
that hotel proprietors throughout the
country are complaining of loss of business
due to the decline in the numbers of COM

turn due to the formation of trusts. 1t is
asserted that something like "a, 900 "drum-
mers" have been thrown out of employ
ment recently under the rapid re0rganiza-
ton of industry into large monopolistic
combinations. This is a surprising figure,
but it may be a measureably true one.
Many commercial travellers are losing their
places on account of the trusts, and the
subject is one of very serious discussion
among them as a class.
