SUFFERED FROM MELANCHOLY.
Henry's Former Secretary Hanged
Himself in a Stable.

st. Quentin, France, April u.-Locrimier
mot Loulllier) the sergeant major of ar
tillery and former secretary of the late
Lieut.. Col. Henry who committed suicide
on Monday evening here, had been suffer
ing from melancholia, since he heard of
the suicide of Lieut. Col. Henry in the
fortress of Mont Valerien, Paris. in Au-
gust last.
The sergeant major had not retired from
the army, as at first announced, but was
preparing to return to his regiment on
Saturday next. He received a couple of let
ters yesterday and after reading them he
went into a stable and hanged himself
The suicide of Lieut.. Col. Henry in the
fortress of Mont Valerien, Paris, last Au-
gust, gave Locrimier, his secretary, such
a shock that his brain was affected and
he was placed on the retired list as q
hopeless invalid.
Since that time the former sergeant
major of artillery has resided at St Quen-
tin, in chatelet there, with his family
and his father-in-law. He recovered his
health somewhat, but never spoke of the
Dreyfus drama, which evidently preyed
upon his mind.
Last Saturday he received a telegram
not from the minister of war, as was at
~ ~ ohSSONt Jul al unsigned uISpdUcn
ordering him to proceed to Paris imme-
diately to place himself at the disposal
de qui de droit'' Zone who has the right
to order you thus).
Locrimier spent the rest of Saturday pre-
pairing for the journey and killed himself
that night. 1t is remarked as curious that
throughout the whole agitation Locrim-
ier's name had never been mentioned. There
seems no doubt, however, that he could
have thrown some light upon the affair
especially regarding the mysterious death
of Lermercier Picard, the detective, I'M
derstood to have been employed in the
Dreyfus affair, who was found hanged in
his lodgings in circumstances which did
not point conclusively to suicide.

longer held under arrest by the Kansas
City authorities.

No Yacht Race.
Wind Fails In Both Trials Between the
Columbia and the Shamrock for the
Americas Cup.

Wind Fails In Both Trials Between the
Americas Cup.
The first of the series of races for the
Americas cup was sailed off New York
Tuesday, but had to be given up because
the falling wind prevented the competing
yachts from finishing within the prescribed
time limit. The two features of the con-
test were the surprising speed shown by
the Shamrock in light airs, her supposedly
weak point of sailing, and the amateurish
manner in which the Columbia was han
died. The course was fifteen miles to lee
ward and return. The Shamrock crossed
the line first 20 seconds to the good The
Columbia overlook and passel her and
gained minutes and A seconds to the
outer mark, which she turned first.
The second attempt to sail the first of
the International yacht races yesterday
failed for lack of wind. The rival sloops
started on the 15-mile to leeward and back
course on practically even terms. While
the wind held astern the Columbia steadily
outfootted her rival until she was fully half
a mile ahead, but in the shifting, battling
breezes that followed during the last three
hours, the Shamrock gradually worked her
way up until, when the race was declared
off, the two boats were about on even
terms. Shamrock, perhaps, was half
length ahead, but so close was the Yankee
that Capt. Barr could have thrown bis
cult to the foreigner.
The only lesson learned by the nautical
sharps from yesterdays trial of the abilities
of the two boats is that in light weather
conditions the Columbia is the superior in
running and reaching and the Shamrock
slightly better in beating. There has yet
been no indication of what either boat can
do in a piping whole-sail breeze. Both
slOops were admirably handled.
During the IL hours sail the Sham
rock was thrice ahead and twice the Yam
kee boat showed the way. When the race
was declared off the Shamrock was one
fourth mile ahead. Each in turn beat the
other running before the wind, and was in
turn beaten by the other beating against
the wind at the various stages of the race,
so that many of the experts who saw the
two boats sail Tuesday are dsnclined TO
believe that there is a pin to choose between
them. The Columbia showed her superb
ority at every point Of sailing, running,
reaching and beating whenever the wind
freshened, and it was only in the ightest
of airs that the Shamrock could make any
headway against her.

SMITH-SHATTUCK

VIII b. Smith of Springfield, Mass +,
and Miss Carrie II. shattuck OF Brat
tIebOrO, Married at TOwnshend Tues
day.
The wedding OF Will Bertrand Smith of
Springfield, Mass, son of Mrs. Mary E.
Smith of Oak street, Brattleboro, and Miss
Carrie Helen Shattuck of Brattleboro took
place at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the
Holland homestead, the old home of the
BRIDES mother, in Townshend. The we'd
ding was very quiet, owing to the recent
death of Mrs. Shattuck, the immediate
relatives witnessing the ceremony, which
was performed by Rev. F. K. Marble of
the First Baptist church of Brattleboro.
The bride wore gown of white organdie
and carried bouquet of white sweet peas.
The house was handsomely decorated with
ferns, autumn leaves and bitter sweet. After
the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Smith left for a
short trip, after which they will live at 343
Bay street, Springfield, Mass, where they
will be at home after Dec. l.
Mr.. Smith graduated from the Brattle-
boro High school in 1888 and from Colgate
university in 1898. He was on the edito-
rial staff of The Phoenix from 1894 TO 1896,
and he has since been with The Spring
field Republican, of which paper he is the
New England news editor. Mrs. Smith
graduated from the Brattleboro High school
in 1889 and from the WestAeld, Mass,
Normal school in 1894. She has since
taught in Brooklyn, N. Y, Shelburne and
Amherst, Mass, and Brattleboro. Among
the guests was Chas. L. Shattuck of New
York, the brother of the bride.

Governor Roosevelt of New York con-
tributes to McClures magazine for Octo-
Der an article in which he answers the
much-disputec question as to why George
Dewey, then of the rank of commodore,
was appointed in the fall of 1897 to the
command of the Asistic squadron. Put in
its shortest terms, Gov. Roosevelt says that
Commodore Dewey was chosen because the
administration foresaw the possibilities
which were involved in war with Spain, a
man of coolness, courage and elfrelance
was wanted TO command the Asiatic station,
and Dewey was chosen "because, to use
navy language employed at the time, it
was deemed wise to have there "a man
who could go into Manila if necessary" -"
In 1897, and until the outbreak of the war
with Spain, Theodore Roosevelt was as
sistant secretary of the navy. His state
ment is therefore made from the inside,
and it must be accepted as establishing
definitely the fact that George Dewey at
Manila on the first day of May, 1898, was
not an accident. 1t also appears to dis
pose of the oft-told story that Senator
Proctor secured Dewey's appointment BY
going direct to the President and getting
him assigned "over the navy department. $
head"

Important Decision I'm a Liquor G.


Judge Rowell, sitting in the Chittenden
county court at Burlington, rendered an
important decision in liquor case yester-
day. The decision is, in substance. that
the holding of a United States LIQUOR H.
cense makes man a common seller under
the Vermont law and liable to instant prose.
cution as such, no other evidence being
necessary for conviction. The respondent
in this case was Burlington man named
d. FL. McCuen, doing business at "a North
street in that city. The records of the in
ternal revenue collector at Portsmouth, N.
H., which is the Office for this district,
show that liquor license was issued to
McCuen on the 12th day of July. Judge
Rowell told the jury that, if they were sat
isfied that McCuen paid the tax of $25
and received the license on the 18th day of
July, the respondent was common seller
on each day thereafter, under the provision
of the statute that the payment of a special
license shall be held to prove the man hold
ing the license a common seller.
If the meaning of the decision is as here
indicated, and it is sustained by the supreme
court, 1t will be the most stringent and eff
fective Interpretation of the prohibitory
law ever given.
