Storage Battery for Automobiles.

John A. Barrett, son of Judge Barrett of
Rutland, one of the most famous practical
electricians in the United States, is just
now adding to his laurels by producing a
new and practical storage battery for auto
mobiles. He has about completed his work
and the electrical world is awaiting the
revolution in the manufacture of these car
rages and especially the batteries which
propel them, by the introduction of Mr..
Barrett's invention.
Mr.. Barrett became convinced that the
secret Of the successful introduction and
the practicability of the automobile de-
pended on the storage battery. A carriage
with a seating capacity for two had to lug
along some 900 pounds of propelling power.
This was senseless. Consequently he went
to work and as result has produced bat
terry weighing less than 300 pounds and
with the same strength if not greater than
the other unwieldly mechanism.

Copper Mine Near Waterbury.

1t has been claimed for more than 20
years that there existed in the easterly
part of Waterbury deposit of copper ore.
But how extensive it was was not known
until recently. Prospecting on the farm
of George B. Smalley, near the Stowe line,
shows that copper ore is deposited there in
sufficient quantity to warrant the working
of a mine. A number of men from Boston
have secured from Mr. Smalley the right
to work, paying quite sum therefor, and
will at once commence operations. The
surface ore has been assayed and the claim
is made that it shows $15 to the ton of
rock.

struck by Locomotive. But May Live.

Thomas Boyle was struck by the locomo-
tive of the south-bound sleeper at Rutland
at 12:45 Sunday morning. He sustained
serious injuries to the back, head and neck.
He is delirious, but may recover. Boyle
came from Bridgeport, Conn, and has been
employed by the Vermont Marble company
as a polisher at Centre Rutland. He and
party of young men from Centre Rutland
spent Saturday night in Rutland. They
started to walk back, and Boyle insisted
in keeping on the track of the Rutland rail
road, although warned of his danger. AS
the locomotive approached Boyle caught
his heel and fell backward against the en-
CINE. He was thrown forward on to the
Delaware & Hudson track.

Death of a PhIlanthrOpIst who Was
Born Mt woodstock.

E. D. Moxhan, 70, well-known philan-
thropist, died at his home at Vineland N.
j., Sunday, His death was the result of
injuries received the Sunday before. On
that day while seated in a rocking chair on
his porch he rocked off the porch and fell
to the ground, distance of six feet and
received internal injuries. Mr.. Moxhan
was one of the founders of the New Jersey
training school for feeble minded children
at Vineland. The new $4,000 admins
tration building of the home is to be named
the Moxhan building, in his honor. 1t is
said on good authority that Mr.. Moxhan
has provided handsomely for the training
school, and also provided for the endow-
ment of public library at Woodstock, Vt,
where he was born. He accumulated
most of his wealth in the mining business
in Montana. His widow and brother sur
vive him.

Like Tammany Methods.

The Barre Daily Times says: "Since the
arrest of Deputy Sheriff George w. Smith
Saturday night on charge of matchmaking
Mrs Bianchi of Montpelier things have
come to light which indicate that there has
existed in Barre matchmaking conspiracy
on the plan practiced by Tammany bench
men in New York States Attorney R.
A. Hoar has taken hold of the matter and
will probe it to the bottom and if there is a
guilty gang preying on the ignorant and
criminal element in Barre and vicinity its
members will be brought to justice. 1t is
very much to be doubted if the attempt to
squeeze money from Mrs. Bianchi was the
first. The crime showed the audacity
which only comes from previously success
full practice. 1t is more than likely that
similar tricks have been tried here before
If such a Matchmaking conspiracy exists
no one person has done all the work or
pocketed all the money. 1t is a business
which requires partners and if Smith had
partners Mr.. Hoar will make it his business
to see that they are run down"

Smith was arrested a second time at
Barre Monday night, and VIM. H. Blu
chanan, the city constable of Barre, and
the latter's son-in-law, Henry Wilkin,
were also taken into custody. All three
are charged with conspiracy. Sheriff
Graves and Deputies Wedge of Montpelier

arrests grow out of the Bianchi case. The
prosecuting officers are determined to probe
the whole matter to the bottom. Smith

collector and first constable several years.
He is a popular official and has large cir

fertile and rich section Of the country, and open

While railroads are necessary TO nations pros
perity, health is still more necessary. A sick
man can't make money If there are thousand
railroads. One of the reasons why America is so
progressive is the fact that in every drug store is
sold Hostetter's Stomach Bitters that celebrated
tonic for the weak, stimulant for the kidneys,
appetizer for the dyspeptc, purifier for the blood
and sedative for the nerves. 1t is taken with
great success by thousands of men and women
who are run down, pale and weak. 1t increases
the weight of thin people, and the gain is perma-
nent and substantial.

Justice Brewer on Imperialism.

Judge David J. Brewer, asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court
of the United States, is good
American citizen, beside being
something of lawyer and a
thinker. Yet he comes in Teddy
Roosevelt's category of "cop-
perheads,'' towards" and 'lun-
atics.' Judge Brewer says OF
imperialism in the Philippine
islands and elsewhere:
"DThis is no trifiing question,
and it is not answered by any
gush about duty and destiny; in
fact, all this talk about destiny
is wearisome. We make our own
destiny. We are not the victims
but the masters of fate, and to
attempt to unload on the AL

that which we choose to do is
not only an insult to Him, but to
ordinary intelligence.

"A man was killed in Tucson

writ Of ejectment. Another man
was murdered in Pearce for ask
ing for the return of borrowed

there is some little consolation

Importation of cattle from
Tampico to Cuba is assuming
proportions, says the Two Re
publics. The cattle are concen-
trated at that point from the
states of San Luis POtosi, We
racruz, Nevo Leon, Coahuila,
Jalisco and Chihuahua. Every
steamship that enters the port,
whether freight or passenger,
is at once engaged to carry cat
tie to Cuba. Sometimes two or
three vessels are loading cattle
at the same time. This trade
has been growing steadily from
the day the war between the
United States and Spain com
menced. And now a cattle
ranch, accessible to Tampico,
has more than tripled it's value.
Cattle are better than coffee or

There is an intimation, it may

What the platform says or
what it does not say, what it

says the Boston Post. The re-

created them and sustains them.

"My friends, two visions rise

the occasional glory, success and

which for a time will charm and
dazzle, and then the shadow of
the awful question whether hu-
