A japanese Girls Wedding.

Marriage in. japan is only a
civil contract, and not in any way
a religious one writes Onoto
Watanna in the April Ladies'
Home journal. 1T is protected
by law and social obligations. The
church and state do not concern
themselves at all in marital affairs.
The chief peculiarly about the
ceremony is the exchanging of
cups of sake "a liquid nine
times: three times the bride, three
times the groom, three times the
mid-woman who works between
the pair in making the engage
ment Toward the end of the
ceremony singer sings n song
called 'Takasago,' which narrates
the loving and happy life of an
old couple. Thus the ceremony
closes, the last notes of the sin
gers beautiful melody remaining
in the air, charming all The last
stage of Girl life is over"

Record Breaker Weather.

Saturday night, Feb. 1lth, will long
be remembered as the banner cold
snap of the Indian Territory. Their
mometers in various portions of the
city registered from 81 to "a degrees
below. Old residents were busy all
day yesterday trying to recall some
thing that would equal it, but all at
tempts failed--the nearest approach
seeems to have been in '63, when the
mercury ranged from IL to u for a
period of five days.

Had it not been for the aid OF two or
three men and kind neighbor they
would have frozen Saturday night,
as there was no coal or provisions in
the house. 1t is useless to say what
they need worst, for they have moth
ing, not even a comfortable bed to
sleep on. The woman is willing to
work and her oldest son also, who is
is years Of age, but so far they have
been unable to secure any. The help
they received Saturday will enable
them to live through this week. The
widow was very grateful for the aid
given and what she wants mostly is
wDik.

Capt. George Baisley Of the American
schooner j. V. Van Dusen, which sailed
from st. John, N. B., for New York on
Saturday, was stabbed and thrown over
board by a sailor named Maxwell when off
Dipper Harbor, in the bay of Fundy. Mate
Campbell and the steward rounded the ves-
sci to, lowered boat and tried to save the
captain. who was struggling to keep afioat.
He sank twice but finally was drawn into
the boat. BY this time Maxwell, the cap
tain's assailant, had headed the schooner
for Beaver Harbor and the mate and stew
ard rowed for the shore. Before they
reached the beach the captain was dead.
The news spread quickly along the shore,
and when the schooner was sighted off
Beaver Harbor in distress three men put
off and boarded her. Maxwell, who stab
bed the captain, was mate for him on
former voyages, but owing to misconduct
the captain had dismissed him and engaged
Campbell. Seamen were scarce and Max
well shipped before the mast. Shortly Rf-
ter leaving st. John a quarrel occurred,
and Maxwell attacked the captain. Max
well was brought to st. John, where his
trial will probably take place.

VERMONT NEWS.
Not Guilty Of the Murder.

Two Men Arrested at Burlington Com
vince the sheriff OF Their Innocence
---Mystery OF the HsnIey Case.
Morris Nelson and NJ. G. Bonner have
convinced Sheriff Reeves that they had
nothing to do with the mysterious death Of
Martin d. Hanley, whose body was found
in Gay & Henderson's slip at the lake front
in Burlington Wednesday morning of last
week, These two men we're with Hanley
on the day of his death, spending several
hours at Hanley's house drinking whiskey.
Nelson told the deputy-sheriff badly mix
ed story, Saturday morning, but he has
since called at the sheriff's office to make
several corrections in his statements He
declares he was so drunk when he was
with Hanley that he did not remember all
that took place He has convinced the Off
cials that he was not with Hanley Tuesday
night. The fact that Bonner and Nelson
have proven that they had nothing to do
with the supposed murder does not alter
tn belief of the sheriff and the deputy that
the man was the victim Of foul play. The
mystery probably never will be solved.
W. K. Hall saw Hanley passing Mr..
Halls store Tuesday evening with two
strangers. Two 81 bills we're found in the
pocket book which Hanley carried, but a
roll containing about $40 in bills which he
carried Tuesday is missing. There was a
bruise on his head, his nose was bent and
battered, and there was long mark on one
leg. 1t is considered a strange fact that
Hanley's body was found floating, with the
face out of the water. There was only a
little water in the body.

CHARLESTON WRECKED.
First Loss to our Vessels Of the New
Navy.
Cruiser Han Upon an Unchartered Coral
Reef on the Northwest shore OF Luzon
---AII on Board Saved.

The United States cruiser Charleston,
which had been patrolling the northern
coast of Ldzon, was wrecked on a reef off
the northwest coast on Nov. 2. All on
board were saved
The Charleston ran around near Vigan.
She has 30 fathoms of Mater on both sides
She worked her machinery for two days
and nights in trying to get afoat, but a
typhoon arising, the crew we're obliged to
take to the boats and take refuge on a
small island FIVE miles away. The natives
are friendly. Lieut. Mcdonald and num-
Der of sailors put off in a small boat and
reached the Callao, which brought them TO
Manila. The gunboat Helena has been
despatched to bring away the crew. Lieut..
Mcdonald describes the Charleston when
he last saw her as hard and fast aground,
with her bottom badly stove and we'll out
of water.
The Charleston has been in Asiatic wa
ters more than a year. She was one of
the first vessels to be sent to Manila after
the destruction of the Spanish feet by
Admiral Dewey. She carried ammunition
and other supplies for the Asiatic station.
The Charleston was a protected steel
cruiser. Her keel was laid in 1887, and
she was launched in 1890 She was built
| Dy Jne Union iron WOTks Oh Dan rThucls-
co. She was a second-rate craft, was
built Of steel, with twin screws, and had a
displacement of $3.50 tons.
There was no poop or forecsstle on the
Charleston, which gave her freedom Of fire
for her two eight-inch guns, which were
mounted amidships in low barbettes. She
had two military masts on each of which
we're mounted revolving cannon, and, be-
sides the eight-inch rifles referred to, car.
ried six-inch rifles, three on each side, with
protecting shields, and two rapid-fire guns,
and was fitted with search and electric
signal lights and a general Illuminating
equipment. Her horsepower was about
1900 and her speed 1S knots. The cost Of
her equipment and construction exceeded
81, 100000. Her coal capacity was about
900 tons and she could steam $500 miles al
10 knots without recoaling.
The Charleston had a very interesting
career in the service and has figured in nu
merous incidents In 1891 the whole coun'
try was watching anxiously this vessel, ex
pecting daily naval duel between her and
the Esmeralda of the Chilean navy, when
she was in chase of the Itata manned by
Chilean insurgents.

EAST JAMAICA.
Death OF John F. Burnap,

John F. Burnap passed away Nov. 8,
having been confined to his bed but five
days and to the house only about two
weeks. He was born In Athens April 10,
1920, son of Luther and Mary Burnap and
one of a family of nine children, of
whom only one survives him, Miss Emily
Burnap of Townshend. He leaves a wife
and two daughters, Mrs. George Barnes of
Waverly, Mass, and Edna NJ, who has
remained at home to care for her parents.
Two daughters died some years ago, Belle
at 10, aud Nora, two years and five months.
He moved from Townshend to the place
where he has lived nearly AZ years ago,
and If he had lived until January, 1900, he
would have been married 80 years. He
will be greatly missed outside of the home
as we'll as within.

jamaica swept by a Hurricane,

The severest hurricane in many years
swept over the island of Jamaica last week
Wednesday, 1t ragged four hours along the
northern slopes and through the parishes
of St. Thomas, st. Mary and Portland,
westward to Morant Bay on the south and
Lucea on the north coasts, destroying all
cultivation and most of the properties in its
course, including 100000 of the United
Fruit companys banana trees. Port An
tonic experienced serious damage to prop
erty, including the fruit company's wharf
and premises, also Port Maria, Anotto Bay
and Lucea, but the main force of the storm
apparently struck Morant Bay to Priest
mans river, which district is still cut off. The
town of Morant Bay is shattered, and fears
are entertained that the fruit company's
business will be seriously crippled, as the
st. Oatharine plantations are the only part
of their property which have not suffered,
while most of the independent fruit cultiva-
tions are within the area of destruction.
Estimates agree that the islands fruit trade
will take year to recover. No account OF
fatalities have been received.

Killed by Dynamite Explosion.

Clarence Burrell, son of Banker J. G.
Burrell of Urbana, Ia, was instantly killed
Saturday by an explosion of dynamite
which wrecked the bank building and
partly destroyed the Monitor general store.
Clarence Burrell had just opened the doors
OF his fathers private bank for the days
business when there was a smothered ex-
plosion in the Monitor store next door. He
rushed into the building, and a second ex-
plosion occurred, pieces of wreckage strik-
ing Burrell in the neck, decapitating him
and penetrating his heart Fire following
explosions destroyed both buildings, entail
ing heavy loss. The bank vault and the
store safe, however, were not damaged.
There is no known cause for the explosions.
The authorities are working on the theory
that they we're caused by incendiaries.

Joseph Langdon and Jack Craven,
young men, got into an alteration at Ben
nington Monday, while talking about the sale

the influence of liquor. Craven called
Langdon an insulting name and Langdon

Craven got up Langdon went for him
again, and, missing his footing, went down
into the gutter himself. Craven had his
knife out by this time and, jumping on
Langdon, stabbed him in the neck, the

all before he was taken off Langdon was
taken into a physicians Office and the
wounds dressed. Little was known about
the affair until evening and at that time
Craven had disappeared.

MANY PLANTS

Have fragrant blossoms. Many
others are fragrant only when
crushed.
There is one which is fragrant in
bloom and fragrant also when its
ripened fruit is crushed and made
into a drink. We know it as coffee.
To enjoy the most delicious fra
GRANGE of coffee in its highest state
of perfection you should buy what
you are sure is coffee, pure and
simple, without any adulteration.
Chase & Sanborn's Coffee is a
pure coffee. What is more, it is the
best coffee that can be raised by
experienced planters. Furthermore
every bean is selected and the same
care is maintained in roasting and
packing, until it reaches the con-
sumers' hands.
Because it is pure it is healthful
and the price at which it sells is so
little in advance of cheaper grades
that one stops and wonders why
any one should not always have
Chase & Sanborn's Seal Brand
Coffee, or any one of their high
grade brands which come in parch-
ment lined colored bags.

shook the whole city and showered the
surrounding territory with missiles, caus-
ing broken glass in houses half mile
away. Harry Benoit, the fireman who
was injured, says that two months ago the

for more than go pounds of steam. He
thought at least 40 pounds was being CARR.

donning citizens clothing, and it is under

Four Hlghwaymen Robbed Trolley Car.

Four highwaymen held up trolley car
in an isolated section of Glendale, L. l.,
shortly after o'clock Sunday morning.
All were heavily armed and it is thought
they anticipated getting much booty from
the belated passengers, but they found an
empty car. The motorman and conductor
were searched by the highwaymen, after
which they were taken from their car and
escorted into the woods, where they were
warned to keep quiet on penalty of being
shot The four highwaymen then boarded
the car and escaped, one of their number
acting as motorman. The car was found
afterward about half mile from the
scene of the hold-up.

A Running Battle

Between Three Robbers and Two OIL
cers---One RObber Killed, Both on
GERS wounded.
Three masked robbers blew open the safe
at the railway ticket Office at Titusville,
Pa, Friday night, but secured only about
500. The robbers then went to disorderly
house on East Spring street, and on enter
ing presented revolvers and proceeded to
rob the inmates of what valuables they had,
reported as amounting to $1,000 worth Of
jewels and $500 in cash. Chief-of- Police
McGrath, meanwhile, had discovered their
whereabouts, and in company with Officer
Sheehy, attempted their arrest. A pitched
battle ensued, in which about 20 shots were
fired, three of which struck Chief McGrath,
one in the abdomen and two in the left
shoulder. Officer Sheehy was shot in the
mouth, the ball passing through the side of
the neck and inficting dangerous wound.
In the confusion the robbers escaped from
the house. Later the dead body of one of
the robbers was found about two blocks
from the scene of the combat, with bull
let through his breast.
