Birds are quick-witted. Listen to
this story told by man: If a small
creature like a bullfnch can tell when
his mistress is going out, and not only
that. but will welcome her back with
all the noise his little throat can get
out, before she is barely near enough
for a dog to make out for certain, such
a fact alone proves that birds eyes are
far-seeing. Many times has my wife
placed her bullfnch's cage the length
Of three rooms away, one leading direct
to the other, with the door open; it was
rarely closed, and he would be busily
engaged on a small plum twig, full OF
buds, that I had cut for him, when,
lust to test his keenness of vision, she
has held the pip from an apple that |
had been eating between her finger and
thumb and stood in the doorway far
tbest from him. The bird looked; down
went his twig, out of his cage he dash
ed and he was on her shoulder, with
crest raised and feathery breast putfed
out. singing to her for his apple pip.

Kinr a born specuIator.

The King of Belgium is born spec
ulator. From his parents he inherited
three-quarters of a million sterling
With this capital he began to speculate
and showed his mastery skill as
fnancier in his dealings in Panama
Canal stock. BY iudicious buying and
selling he is estimated to have made
four millions. Then he was seized with
the Congo Free State hobby, which
obtained such a mastery over him that
his financial acumen was overpowered,
and he sank his private fortune in It.
Whether it will ever return good value
for the money remains to be seen.

MAY WE INQUIRE WHY.

The humorist who makes jokes out
of the trials of the suburban resident
lives out of town?
The individual who pokes fun at the
Harlem goat keeps one of those useful
but homely animals?
Why the goss:peT on things about
town is never seen at any Of the haunts
he writes about?
Why the polished writer on dramatic
art goes by way of choice to the finn
siest burlesques in town?
Why the editor who writes so learn
eely on political reform goes as a dele
gate in the interest Of the machine?

FILIPINOS ARE DECEPTIVE
Leaters Boast That They Have 1000
Rifemen and 10000 Bolo
Men.

Manila, May 21.-Maior Gener al
Otis has declined to recognize the
rebels to the extent Of agreeing to an
armistice, but he has notified the
American commanders TO refrain
temporarily from aggressive action.
Thus he Is in a position to resume
hostilities at any time. This will
defeat any subterfuges to gain time,
which would not be the case If the
the general agreed to an armistice.
The Filipipos are so deceptive that
people hesitate to credit with good
faith their latest overtures. But
more attention is now paid to them
than was paid to their previous adj
vances, The Filipino commission is
acting under Instructions from Aguin-
aldo and the congress, but it is pos
sible thar if peace is arranged Gener-
al Luna and Pho Del Pillar and their
followers will continue a guerilla
warfare
At Iloilo an attack on the Ameri-
cans was recently expected. The
Filipino leaders boasted that they
had 1000 rifemen and 10000 Bolo
men and had the impudence to send
an ultimatum to the American com
mander ordering him to leave the
island. As a result many of the ma
tives left the town and for several
DAYS the outposts were doubled. In
addition the Yorktown and the Iris
anchored in positions commanding
the mouth OF the lara river, where
the attack was expected to take
place, but it failed to materialize.
Cable communication between
noilo and Bacolor, which has been
interrupted, has been resumed.

CONDITIONS IN PORTO RICO.

The appalling conditions existing in
Porto Rico were made fully known to
the war department by Gen. Davis in
a dispatch which says the deaths out
right in the island Will reach two
thousand, while many are dying daily
from injuries and privations. General
Davis adds: F'Dry split peas very ac-
ceptable. Canned peas involve too
much transportation in proportion to
nutriment, but can be used near sea-
coast, although there is much desti
tuition in the interior, and deaths are
occurring from lack of food. Will
not be possible to reach those points
with packs before next week, for
IN many cases the railroads and trails
are so destroyed that only men on foot
can get to and from these districts
The stores coming on Mcpherson will
be in time, for I am supplying most
pressing needs at all accessible points
with stores now on hand. So great is
the destruction of the roads that there
is no communication yet with one
third of the island. The commanding
officer at each of the Twelve posts is
inspector of relief for his district, and
he has detailed subordinates in every
municipality to collect data and re-
lieve most pressing needs. I have
furnished each inspector with funds
and given authority to issue food
from army supplies. One soldier died
of injuries; others injured will re-
cover. A great many wagons over
turned and broken, but all are being
repaired. Many thousands private cat
tie and horses drowned, Larger part
of deaths natives from drowning'

less Maitre Demange is great lawyer
and he may we'll have been upset by
the terrible events, but his formal and
antiquated methods stood him in sad
stead last Tuesday; and it was that
day that was most dreaded by all
the adversaries Of Dreyfus. Then,
to cap all, Mercier called upon Nine.
Labori to proffer his sympathy. It
must be remembered that M. Labori
had but just recovered from the ty
phoid fever; and his ardent, nervous
organization, overstrung by the ten
sion of this trial, is in a bad condition
for combating a fresh shock. The
worst news would surprise no one.
For reasons which I am bound not to
give, the event is a national calamity"

in said district, on the 18th day of August
A. D. 1899.

Joseph Labor, late of Barton, in said dis
trict, deceased, presents his administration

ceased.
Whereupon, it is ordered by said Court,
that said account and said application be

they may have, why said account should not

The following article, which is cop
led from the Montpelier argus, the
leading democratic organ of the state,
shows that Governor Pages course as
a public servant has made him friends
among all classes regardless of politi-
cal affiliations:
The Rutland Herald makes a big
mistake if it believes that the people
of Vermont will not resent it's efforts
to traduce the character of ex-GoV.
Page. The people know that he was
never the tool of any ring; his ad
ministration of the affairs of his exec
utive Office was above reproach; he
was pre- eminently the peoples gov
ernor; and when he laid aside his Off
cial mantle, the welcome plaudit,
"Well done, good and faithful SER
vant," went up from every quarter of
the state, regardless of party lines,
with a spontaneity and heartiness
rarely equalled and never excelled in
the history of Vermont's executive.
No governor within the recollection
of the present generation laid down
the reins of his Office with more
friends than did Gov. Page, and the
only newspaper in Vermont that was
not generous enough to say so was the
Rutland Herald. We say this because
we think it ii due to Gov Page as
citizen.

THE DREYFUS CASE.

The correspondent of the Times at
Rennes, who comments upon ''the
prodigious drama being enacted
here" and the Gloss to the Dreyfus
cause through the disablement of
Labori," says: "There is terribly
suggestive timeliness in the crime. If
the fates had been combining against
Dreyfus they could not have armed
more efficient agent of their designs
than the unknown man who shot
Labori just as he was about to riddle
with shot and shatter with his invec-
tive, irony and scorn the last argu
ments of the public accuser, Mercier.
1t was a master stroke. The one in
dispensable man was thrown hors de
combat just at the moment when most
was expected of him. do not exag-
gerate the general impression when I
affirm that, with Labori absent, the
bottom seems to have dropped out of
the defence.
"The examination of Mercier by
Maitre Demange was one of the weak
est exhibitions of forensic ingenuity
and presence of mind which it is pos
sible to conceive. Mercier, Billot and
Cavaignac, with the others, held the
floor just as their predecessors in the
trial of 1894, while the prisoner was
left almost without defence. Doubt

State News Items.

The secretary of war again asks the
country for contributions to aid the
sufferers in Porto Rico. In response
to an urgent request of the secretary
of war, Governor Smith is appealing
to the people of Vermont for money
contributions, which can be used
quicker and to better advantage than
provisions or other supplies. The
emergency is of the most pressing
character The governor suggests
that the newspapers receive subscrip-
tions and forward them either to the
designated depository in New York,
or to himself to be sent by him as the
contribution of Vermont.

TIE NEWPORT FAIR.

The fair which was held at Mem
phremagog driving park Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week
drew Ilarge crowds each day. The
weather was clear and very pleasant,
but the dust made it little unpleas-
ant in getting about. AS is usually
the case on such occasions, the first
day was devoted to getting things in
readiness; several hundred people
we're on the grounds, but the rush
came on the second day when there
was fully five thousand present. The
business men had fixed up their
stands in floral hall and it was decor
ated very handsomely. The cattle,
horses, sheep and swine were all of
high order, large part of them being
from Canada, and the poultry exhibit
was especially good. The outside at
fractions were very good and we're
thoroughly enjoyed by the people.
Mertie Peek with her horses attracted
much attention and received hearty
applause, while the locomobile, the
horseless carriage, drew its share of
the attention. The balloon ascension,
in which there was parachute drop
by two parties, was grand success,
the balloon going up nearly straight
and both aeronauts coming down near
the grounds. The races the first day
were not very exciting but the last
day they were very good, the track
record being broken twice, the last
time by Robert B., driven by the vet
eran driver, Charles Taylor, who is
nearly 95 years of age. There was an
attendance of between two and three
thousand people the third day. Below
we give summary Of the races

the memory of the oldest inhabitant,
two large stones, one of which is quite
irregular in shape and is quite regular
in outline, being four feet long, three
feet wide, two feet thick and very
much harder. 1t is a good deal dis
colored on the surface from its long
burial, but investigation develops the
fact that it is of fine, clear granite, of
a texture much finer than that of the
granite in this vicinity. The upper
surface is as smooth as if it had been
split by the parent ledge only yester-
day, and the block is so admirably
adapted for the purpose, that it will
be used as the corner stone, just as it
is, only enough dressing being given
it's outer face to allow the necessary
inscription to be placed on it.

Loses His Right Hand.

%, Charles Merritt, an engineer in the
employ of the Great Northern road,
had his right hand cut off and his
scalp badly torn, in a rear end COLI
sion on the Great Northern road near
Osseo, shortly after O'Clock last
night.
A regular freight train had pulled
into Osseo and was standing on the
main track when the freight train of
which Merritt was engineer, crashed
into the caboose. The fireman jumped
in time to escape injury, but Merritt
remained at his post and was severely
injured. Several passengers were in
the caboose Of the regular freight but
they saw the other train coming in
time to jump.
Some ten or twelve box cars were
piled in heap by the collision, and
the road was blocked for two hours.
