You can't make success in life unless

life. You must learn a good trade or
get into some honest business. II
you don't you will be chronic loafer,
despised by ALL producing nothing,
simply making yourself burden on
your parents or on the state. There
is no place in the world to-day for

investigation last summer, and Henry
Brannon, Jr., were the principals in
the affair and both of them shot,
while DR.. j. r. Stathers, Of Parkers-

implicated in the quarrel which led
TO the shooting.
Smith claims TO have heard that
Brannon had made sighting remarks
about his character and his attentions
to certain ladies and meeting him on
the street yesterday morning had
some words with Brannon. But the
matter was apparently ended. Soon
after dark Brannon received message
asking him to go to the asylum and
not suspecting that there was trouble
in store he went He found Smith
and Stathers ia the corridor and the
quarrel was renewed. Brannon said
he was not afraid of them both and
about that time Smith began to shoot,
Brannon then drew his gun and began
to shoot. They were soon parted and
the only damage done was TO the plas-
tering, which the state will repair.
In all eight or ten shots were tired.

There was Chinese hearing before
Judge Wheeler in Festival hall Monday at
which there were present besides the law
yers and officials about 20 Celestials and a
large crowd of interested spectators. Four
of the Celestias were under detention
pending an investigation as to their right
to enter and remain in the United States
They were from % to 2G years old, and
they had been ordered deported by Com
missioner johnson from whose decision
they appealed to Judge Wheeler
The boys alleged fathers were present
and testified that the boys were born in
San Francisco and Sacramento but that
they went to China with their parents.
The government produced four witnesses,
Cinnamon, who lived in Philadelphia aud
who claimed to know the men who pre-
tended to be fathers of the boys. These
witnesses said that one of the pretended
fathers had no family and that the other
had one son only who now lives in Ger
mantown, Pa.
The defence put on two detectives from
Philadelphia who testified as to the shady
character of the governments witnesses.
They claimed also to know the alleged
fathers and they corroborated the testimo-
ny of the said fathers. The governments
witnesses claimed that the alleged fathers
were paid by Lee Toy to swear that they
were the fathers of the boys and that the
boys were born in this country. Lee Toy
is "mayor" of Chinatown in Philadelphia
who is suspected of being at the head of
sort of Chinese bureau whose business it is
to assist Cinnamon in entering this coun-
try.
Judge Wheeler discharged two of the
Cinnamon and held the other two in bonds
in the sum of $3.50 each for a hearing 10
days later. The boys furnished bail, and
they are being boarded by some of the Brat
tleboro Cinnamon. United States District
Attorney Martin conducted the cases for
the government. Mr.. Martin went to
Burlington Tuesday afternoon to attend
more Chinese hearings.

The rapid increase of Japanese immi-
grafton in Hawaii has attracted the seri-
GUS attention of the authorities at Wash
ington of late. One official report from
United States inspector at Honolulu states
that II, 900 japanese have arrived since
the islands were annexed to the United
States. He also reports that in his opin-
ion the total population of Asiatics by
the end of the present year will exceed the
total population of all other nationalities.
A unique duty of the cash boys in Wan
amaker's New York store is to go to
school every morning from 8 to 10. A
portion of them, numbering about 80, as
semble in a cheerful and commodious
room in the basement and devote them
selves to arithmetic, spelling, grammar,
writing, composition, and other rudiments
of an education. The school, the idea of
which originated with Mr.. Wanamaker,
was started experimentally early last fall,
and has proved so successful that 1t has
now become a permanent feature of the
store. The school work increases the eff
ficiency and usefulness of the boys in their
store work, and is therefore valuable to
their employers as we'll as to themselves.
The $50 boys are divided into classes, and
each class has two sessions week.

Gen. Henry Harnden of Madison, Wis,

mander of the Grand Army of the Repub-

detail of $50 men, under command of
Col. Harnden, captured jefferson Davis.
His important work in the capture of the
president of the southern confederacy gave
him national reputation, and the act of
Congress acknowledging his part in the
capture, after an attempt ofanother soldier
to cheat the Wisconsin commander out of
his well-earned honors, is now a part of
the published history of the war issued by
the government.

cent war and to the good results it had
brought to the country. Elder William
DEAFNESS of Cincinnati opposed the report
saying: "Any man who reads approyinelv
OF Dewey's doings or those of his fleet
should learn something about the first
principles of Christianity. Uniformed
men are disgrace to any Christian coun-
try, and it is time we learned to ciyilize

Fake Stories About Dewey
which Discredit the Hero OF ManilI
and the FakIrs who Tell Them.
From the Montpelier ArRusl

There are certain inherent improbable
ties in some of the stories printed about
Admiral Dewey that rather disgust the
man of common sense who thinks about
them. The story that the Admiral
will come direct TO Montpelier on his arri-
val is decidedly improbable. There is a
reception awaiting him in New York that
he cannot escape without acting in most
ungracious manner. He is still in the naval
service and must report TO the department
at Washington. He remains member of
the peace commission and his advice and
counsel will be sought in Washington dur
ing the settlement of the Philippine af-
fairs, and it is altogether improbable that
he will come to Montpelier for some little
time after his arrival.
The most improbable thing printed
about him is the following, alleged to have
been said by him to the agent of the Assoc
ciated Press at Manila and cabled to this
country:
One OF the things that touched me the most,
among all the many expressions Of warm feeling
from the people at home, was the raising OF a
subscription IN my native state-it was started at
Boston, believe-to build bronze statue OF me,
to be placed in the State house at Montpelier. OPP
posite the statue of Ethan Allen. Many a time,
as boy, have looked at that statue Of Ethan
ton said, II l remember rghtfully, Surrender
In the Name of the Great Jehovah and the Con
tnental Congress" | feel that no greater com
pliment could be- paid TO me than the erection of
my statue In such place-my own village, you
know.
Imagine the modest, quiet, diplomatic
victor of Manila expressing desire to see
a statue of himself on the portico of the
state house beside that of Ethan Allen +!
Doubtless he would be proud of it. Per-
haps when boy he dreamed of it. But
everything the public knows of the man
today goes to show that he never said
what he is alleged to have said.
Dewey never said so because he knows
better. He never looked at the statue
many times or any times when boy for
the reason that the statue was not there
then. 1t was erected in 1861, and George
Dewey was man then, doing a mans
work in his profession. He never made
any such foolish remark about the inscrip-

Keep the Vermont Powder Dry.
LFfom De MontpelIer watchman.l


Vermont will naturally be represented
when Dewey lands in New York in some
proper form, by the Governor at the head
of deputation of representative citizens,
or in some other suitable way, but Yer
monts welcome should be spoken on the
Admirars native soil. There isn't room
or time for lighting the fires of Green
Mountain enthusiasm in Gotham, nor
would there be propriety in any elaborate
reception there. Vermonters should keep
theiy powder dry and hold their fire till
the Admiral comes home, and as The
Phoenix suggests, at "some central place,
preferably Montpelier, his native town
and the capital of the state, there receives
such reception as the people of Vermont
may choose TO give him'-will give him,
bespeak the opportunity to give, and will
"all from the borders come down" to give.
lFrcm the Barre Times
Dewey Is on the way home and it is
time Vermont begins to get together to
welcome him. Every town in Vermont
would like to receive him within her Dor
ders, but it is not a matter of jealous
rivalry. Montpelier, as his birthplace and
possible future place OF residence, seems
to be the suitable spot for the welcome,
but wherever it is let it be a welcome the
like of which was never before seen in the
old Green Mountain republic.
From the Burlington Free Press
The suggestion of the Brattleboro
Phoenix that Vermonters should give
Admiral Dewey rousing welcome to his
native state instead of merging their en-
thusiasm in that of New York upon his
arrival at that point, will undoubtedly find
favorable response throughout the state.
This plan will afford thousands of Yer
monters, who could not make the trip to
New York, an opportunity to see the hero
of Manila and he will undoubtedly prefer
a welcome of this sort

Vermont's Welcome to Dewey.

The Rutland Herald says by way of
comment on the suggestion of The
Phoenix that Admiral Dewey be rendered
reception by the people of his native
state:
1--WE may be sure that Admiral Dewey
would accept an invitation to Vermont if
he could reasonably, and that the Yer
mont applause would please him best of
all that came to his ears. Every man
cares most for the approval of people
nearest to him-there is no praise like
that of friend-and Vermont is Dewey
home. Vermonters are intensely proud
of their great Admiral and anxious to ex-
press the feeling. 1t would certainly be a
good thing to have the expression made
