The Essex Eagle, with voice strained to
the highest pitch, screams to Vermont to
assert herself and win the presidential
prize. Hear the welkin ring: "Wil she
come to the fore and say in clarion notes
that Admiral Dewey is her choice for
President? This is the first time in the
history of this country when the old Green
Mountain state can be heard from the At.
lantic to the Pacific and that voice listened
to with attentive ears and by the voters of
each commonwealth, ready to do the state
and the candidate the honor each de-
serve. The country waits the action of
Vermont! win she move as one person in
this all important matter and move now?
Or will she sleep the ethargic doze of an
over-fed canine? Which will it be-the
presidency, with Dewey the candidate, or
the prize stolen from us because we fail to
awake and arouse ourselves to the oppor-
tunity! Now or never.'

Admiral Dewey will attend no more
civic receptions until next spring. His
engagements at Philadelphia, Chicago.
Atlanta and Macon have been Cancelled by
advice OF his physician. He has asked his
friends to defer private entertainments in
his honor, as he will be busy with his
duties as a member of the Philippine COM
mission. The Dewey house committee
have bought for the Admirars residence
the Fitch house, on Rhode Island avenue.
near the northeast corner of Connecticut
avenue, in Washington. The cost is
about 100000, and the house will be ready
for the Admiral's use at once. The Ad-
miraps home will be within five minutes
walk of the Metropolitan Club and the
Army and Navy Club, and in minute or
two more he could reach the navy depart
ment of the White House. The British
embassy and many of the other fashion
able houses of Washington are near by;
some of Admiral Dewey's closest personal
friends live in the immediate neighbor
hood and almost all of them are within a
short distance.

The Admiral Not n Candidate.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says Admiral Dewey is
not presidential possibility. He would
not consent to become candidate If nom-
mated by acclamation by both political
parties. If such a thing should happen
he would decline to accept on the ground
that his physical strength and mental
temperament utterly uDqualify him for the
arduous labors of the office. The CORE
spondent says that a formal statement
from Admiral Dewey on this or any other
subject may not be expected. He has de
cided against all public interviews, but
there need to be no misunderstanding on
the presidential question.
The Admiral has cancelled his engage
ments at civic receptions on account of his
health, and he has fixed idea of spending
the remainder of his life in his new home
in Washington, among his friends and in
the quiet enjoyment of the reward which
has already come to him for his brilliant
achievements.

Gen. SymOns, Commander at Battle of
Glencoe, Died Yesterday---Gen. YuIe,s
Tired Troops Arrived at Ladysmith
Yesterday.
Gen. Yule and his column of tired men
reached Ladysmith yesterday. Gen. Sy-
mons's fight at Glencoe, according to late
advices, was not the decisive victory at
first alleged, and Gen. Yue would proba-
bly, have been annihlated, or have met
with the same fate as the captured Hussars,
II he had not retreated. The death of
zen. Symons was reported unofficially in
LONDON yesterday He was wounded in
the stomach at the battle of Glencoe. The
British have 800 prisoners, wounded and
unwounded, including several persons of
high position. The bombardment of Mafe-
king has begun again, with unknown re-
suit, although report came yesterday that
the town was on fire.
The Gordon is closing around Kimberley
and the situation is grave. The Beers
have got their Hussar prisoners safely to
Pretoria. Altogether, the campaign is be-
ing pushed by the Beers so strenuouslv
and on such sound strategical lines that
the situation of the British must in all
probability give cause for deep anxiety for
some time to come. 1t is difficult to see
how the concentrated force at Ladysmith,
In spite OF the re- endorsements reported as
arriving from Pietermartzburg, will be
able to lake the aggressive Immediately.
Indeed, the Beers are reported to be again
massing at Elandslaagte. Apart from the
fatigue, regiments like the Gordon High
landers and Royal Rifles have been practic-
ally without officers since the fight, and
l35 additional officers have been ordered
to leave England as speedily as possible.
The Boer side of the fighting in Natal is
beginning to filter through the cable from
Pretoria. The Beers admit reverses at
Elandslaagte and Glencoe, claiming, how
ever, subsequent occupation of Natal as
far south as Ladysmith, which they are
now investing. Ten truck loads of Brit
ish prisoners, they say, are held in Preto-
ria. Among them are nine officers taken
at Glencoe.
The spectre of European intervention
will not down in London. The Duke of
Manchester is quoted today as saying that
he fears an Intervention by France and
Russia, which would mean nothing else
than war. In this connection Berlin is
agitated over Tuesday night conference
at Potsdam, at which the emperor, the ad-
miral and the minister of foreign affairs
were present; and the Paris Matin today
asserts that France is ready to receive a
proposition from Germany for the mainte-
nance of the balance of power in South
Africa by demonstration on the part of
France, Germany and Russia.
The British war office places the number
of British casualties at 600.

END OF CONVENTION
or the State Sunday School Association
--- Bright Outlook for Next Years


--- Bright Outlook for Next Years
Work.
The exercises in connection with the
Friday morning session of the State Sun
day School convention gave very fitting
close thereto. The opening devotional
services were conducted by c. L. Evarts.
and the leader followed out very closely
the lines selected by Mr.. McConaughy in
the previous meetings.
The reorganization was effected, as stated
in our columns last week, after which Mr..
Archibald of Boston addressed the conven-
tion on the subject which had excited so
much curiosity in the minds of all attend
ing, namely, "The Motor and Sensor Mind
ed Child" The secret was out when he
stated that the "motor-minded child" was
the one who was always active, aggressive.
enthusiastic, etc, while the "sensor-mind-
ed child was reflective and sometimes
morose, slow, self-contained, etc.
The drift of Mr.. Archibalds address
was that the parent or teacher should
study the child's mind and endeavor bv
careful training to supplement in each in
stance that which the child lacked. In
other words, the "motor-minded" should
be repressed in some ways, while the
''sensor-minded' should be urged for
ward, thus supplying in both that which
was lacking.
Prof. Hamill conducted in a very helpful
manner an "Officers' conference" consid-
ering, as is his wont, the things that are
most troubling to teachers or officers in
the administration of the school, and sug-
gesting remedies which are helpful.
After the principal addresses of the
morning, Mr.. Hamill, after calling atten-
tion to one or two matters in connection
with international work, congratulated the
members of the convention on the success
full gathering just closing, and bade them
God-speed for the coming year.
The outlook certainly is decidedly more
bright for the work of the association dur
ing the next year than for many wears
past, and every one went away full of
praise for Brattleboro's hospitality, and
full of good cheer for the years work.

TEMPTATION TOO GREAT.
Young Phillips Tells the Story of His
Downfall,

Sheriff Conley of Deer Lodge county
passed through Butte yesterday morning
en- route from Salt Lake to Anaconda
With George Phillips, the Helena youth
who was arrested in the Mormon city
for passing forged checks on several Mon
tana people. The young man tells a rath-
er interesting story of misfortune which
led him into Wrong-doing. He said his
father, who is a well-to-do citizen of Hell
ena, gave him $40 and a mileage book and
started him to Spokane to look for work.
In some manner he lost his money and
found himself without a cent He hap
pened to have among his effects suit
of clothes his father had purchased but
had worn but little, and which the father
gave him when he left home. 1t 50 hap
pened that the father left a check book
in the pocket of the coat. and when he
found it in MS penniless condition the
temptation was too great for him. He
forged several checks. one of which Nav
or Lesser of Anaconda cashed. He also
came to Butte and passed a check on Tai
lor Nash, and then went to Salt Lake.
where Sheriff Conley located him and had
him arrested.
