A PASTOR CALLED

BY the Congregational Church and So
ciety---Prospect That II New Pnrson-
age VIII he Built This Summer.
The Brattleboro East society (COngrega-
tionaD and the Congregational church met
Friday evening to take action with regard
to extending call to Rev. Harry II. Miles
of Hartford, Conn, to become the pastor
of the church aud society. There was
large attendance. The society was the
first to act. G. l.. Durham presented res
olution which was substantial that the
society extend call and agree to pay year
ly salary of $500 and give the free use OF
the parsonage or its equivalent, ana that
the pastor be given vacation OF four
SUNDAYS. Some excellent recommends
lions from clergymen familiar with the
Brattleboro pasturate were read, ana the
society voted unanimously to extend
call. 1t was voted to pay the expense OF
moving Mr.. Miles's household furniture
from Hartford to Brattleboro, and l.. +.
Adams, j. l.. Knowlton and j. NJ Tyler
were appointed committee to extend the
call and attend to the necessary details of
settling the new pastor.
Thea followed discussion as 20 wheth-
er the parsonage should be repaired or
the majority appeared to be in favor of
building new parsonage, as it can be
done cheaper now than at any other time
by turning in what money would other
wise be expended in repairing the present
parsonage. The lot upon which the pres
ent parsonage stands comprises one acre,
and there is ample room in the rear of the
parsonage so that the parsonage could be
moved back and used for a private resi-
dence. 1t is not probable that that will be
DONE however, as it is likely that the land
owners on either side of the parsonage lot
will buy strips adjoining their land, in
which case there would be no opportunity
for a driveway to the rear of the lot. The
trustees were appointed committee to in
vestigate these matters and to report at
meeting to be held at 1870 o'clock next
Wednesday evening.
Following the meeting of the society the
church voted to concur with the society in
extending call to Rev. Mr., Miles, and c..
F. Thompson, G. L. Durham and Ken
meth Emerson were appointed committee
to act with the committee appointed by
the society in settling the new pastor. A
vote of thanks was extended to the joint
committee appointed to select candidates
for the pastOrate.

sharpshoo,ers from Tennessee.

A yarn is told in Manila, and it concerns
the prison and two Tennessee volunteers.
A Filipino convict had climbed the prison
wall and was running for dear life through
the open. Two long-legged Tennesseeans
were on guard duty. They kneeled to fire.
81 don't guess it's more than three hun
dred yards" said one, quietly.
81 reckon it's most five hundred, =" said
the other, as if he were discussing the
weather.
The prisoner was running like a deer,
and rapidly approaching the underground
around innumerable little huts, where he
would be safe.
"Call it four hundred" suggested the
first Tennesseean, in a concliatory tone.
They adjusted their sights, aimed and
fired. The escaping convict fell, and the
two Tennesseeans went out to bring in what
was left of him.
eff he's hit in the head, it's my shot"
said one.
81 aimed low, acco' din to Amy regula-
tions," drawled the other.
The convict was found with one bullet
through the back of his head and another
through the lower end of his spine. They
know how to shoot in the mountains of
Tennessee Harper's Weekly.

Future of the Bicycle.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufacturers that
the 1899 models represent the perfect wheel, and
that in future the silent steed will be practically
what 1t is TO-DAY. improvement seems to be i'm
possible, as the bicycle accomplishes everything
that is required of it, Precisely the same thing
is true of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t repre-
sents the limits Of science in overcoming disease
and it is impossible TO make better medicine
for the stomach, liver, kidneys, and blood A
few doses OF the bitters will start weak, nervous
and bloodless people on the road to strength. A
regular course of treatment will bring back the
pink to the cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep
will come naturally, and 1t will be refreshing and
healthful. Dyspepsia, indigestion and constipa-
ton will be completely banished, and the bless
ings Of true health bestowed. Never take a
substitute for this perfect remedy.

KIPLING SUES PUBLISHERS.
Demands S25 900 for Alleged Infringe
ment of Copyrights and Trade-Marks
and for Unfair Competition.


Rudyard Kiping, through his attorney,
Augustus L. GurlitZ of so Broadway, filed
in the United States circuit court in New
York Saturday petition for summonses
against five publishing firms in New York,
in an action to recover S25 900 for dam
ages sustained by alleged infringements of
copyright. The five firms mentioned are
G. p. Putnam's Sons, George Haven Put
nam and Irving Putnam, d. Appleton Il
Co., the Doubleday & Mcclure Co.; Chas.
Scribner and Arthur Scribner, trading as
Charles Scribner's Sons and the Century
company. All of these, except the Put
mans, were notified that they are only
technically defendants and that the claim
is against the Putnams ''for the infringe
ment of certain copyrights and trade
marks and for unfair competition in the
business OF the plaintiff"
Irving Putnam was seen by a reporter
Saturday night. He had not seen the COM
plant and he had not received the sum-
mons. II have known for some time"
he said, "that Mr.. Kipling was dissatisfied
with our new so-called Brushwood edition
of his works. We did not print the edi-
ton, but bought the books composing it
from Mr.. Kipling's authorized publishers,
Mr.. Kipling got the royalty he was enti-
tied to. We merely bound the books and
put them on sale in our retail store. Our
neighbors, E. P. Dutton & Co.. in Twen-
ty-Third street, did the same. We have
followed this plan in innumerable cases,
and once before with Mr.. Kipling's works.
"Three weeks ago | got an intimation
through member of the Appleton firm
hoH tte
faction with our treatment of her hus-
bands works George Haven Putnam
made an appointment to meet Mrs. Kip
ling and learn her objections, but later re-
ceved a cordial note saying that she
wished the matter to lie over until Mr..
Kipling was able to give consideration TO
it, Three days later we got an unnecessa-
rly sharp and peremptory letter from a
lawyer ordering us to cease selling the So
called edition at once. We asked for any
specific dissatisfaction and got letter
from the lawyer in which he said that
MRS. Kipling is rghteously indignant at
the appropriation of his clients property,
and that DO settlement was possible except
on a basis of immediate cessation of sale,
accounting of profits, and substantial dam.
ages To comply with such demands
would be to admit that we had been at
tempting a piracy and yielded when We
got caught.
"We have tried in every way to get Mr.
Kiplng or his attorney to give us some
specific complaint or reason for dissatisfac
ton, but have been unable to get any
statement that would help us to clear NJ
the matter. To begin this suit without
giving us an opportunity to settle the mat
ter in comfy, if such settlement were pos
sible, is an injustice"

Rev. II. u. Maxwell Believes There Hos
Been Decline In the Religious Life
OF Rural New England.
From the Boston Herald of Wednesday,
Vermont was heard from at meeting
of the Universalist Social union at the
Hotel Thorndike last evening with regard
to the recent Fast day proclamation issued
by the governor of New Hampshire. A
large number of ladies and gentlemen at
tended the meeting Vermont's views came
through the presence at the dinner of the
Rev. II. d. Maxwell, who has had five
years experience in the ministry in the
southern portion of that state.
Mr.. Maxwell said he thought that a
member of the younger generation has no
right to draw comparisons between things
that are and things that have been; he
ought to give only his impressions. But
the speaker said that he had great sym
pathy with the declaration of Gov. Rollins
that there is decadence of the religious
spirit in the rural districts. That was the
true note, and had brought those who are
in sympathy with religion to a sense of
the danger of the present time.
He said he believed the governors criti-
cism to be just and correct, although he
did not know that the conditions were
any worse than those of so or 100 years
ago. He gave figures of the attendance
among the Universalist denomination in
the parish in which he labored, and in
which, he thought, the conditions are

Opinion on the Canned Roast Beef

The report of Col. Darlington of the
commissary department, which was pre-
sented to the army court of inquiry, but
not accepted as a part of the record, has
been made public. Col. Darlington col
lected the opinions of $40 officers and 1853
enlisted men concerning the canned roast
beef, which he classities as follows: TWEEN
ty-three officers and one man pronounced
it good or excellent 25 officers and two
men, "fair or good, with exceptions;" 26
officers and II men, "mostly bad or unfit"
203 officers and $40 men, "entirely bad or
unfit" or 90 per cent against the meat.
He says that "where cooking was possible
and vegetables and condiments available
and the beef prepared, seasoned and
mixed with vegetables, complaints were
lessened or modified, and some even
praised it as substitute for fresh beef"
Col. Darlington found it impossible to
definitely determine the amount of canned
roast beef destroyed, but he collected con-
siderable data on this subject, showing
that ''at least 104, S1S pounds were acted
upon by boards of survey, or inspectors,
and that 69,070 pounds were DESTROYED as
worthless and 35,74S pounds Sold"

HIGH SCHOoL'NOTEs.
The Ball Team Has Its First Practice
Game.

The Ball Team Has Its First Practice
Game.
The base ball team played practice
game Saturday with the 9th grade team,
winning by score of ~ to I. The game
was played rather slowly, but was inter-
esting as giving an insight into what may
be expected of the men. They gave bit
little attention to winning the game, it be-
ing more the nature of practice in batting
and team work. 1t was the first oppor-
tunity they have had of playing together
Nevertheless they got in some quick work,
executing several double plays. There is
no reason why they should not become
fully equal, if not better than last years
team.
Houghton pitched the entire game. He
was effective, although he did not exert
himself in the least. He had good con-
troll and struck out several men after three
balls had been called. He has a varied
assortment of puzzlers, and can put them
over like hot shot, but it was evident Sat
urday he was holding himself back. Cook,
who will probably do the catching this
year, backs him up in good shape, having
no difficulty in holding the ball. He is a
little slow, however, on his throws to
work we'll Allen will play first base reg
ularly and is good fielder in addition to
his batting qualities. Parkess plays sec
ond well, and it is hot one that goes by
him. Captain Tasker at short stop is in
his "old time FORM covering lots of
ground, and backing up third and second
in good style. As usual he leads the
team in ability to hit the ball. Boyle is
putting up good game on third. In Sat
urday's game he tackled a hot liner and
injured his hand somewhat. Because of
this he did not play his usual game. The
outfielders, Monroe, Whitman, Frost and
Patch, are playing their positions well.
Whitman has also evidently go, his eye on
the ball this year when he comes to bat
The ninth grade has a good team, and
will make any nine in their class hustle
for honors. They were strengthened Sat-
urday by two former High school pitchers,
Brasor and Perry.
The 800 reading club met at the Brooks
House Wednesday evening, reading from
Tennyson.
John Shields, 1901 one of the guards of

his parents having moved to Boston.
The following team will be taken to
SaXtons River to play Vermont Academy
tomorrow: Allen, 1st base; Parkess, I'd
base; Boyle, Sd base Tasker, S. s., Cook,
c.; Houghton, p; Monroe, |. f.; Whit
man, C. f.; Frost, T. f.; Patch, substitute.
They will leave on the 11:10 train, return
ing at $3.50
Manager Boyle received letter yester-
day afternoon from the Keene manager
saying that it would be necessary TO make
change in the dates arranged for games.
The local team was to play in Keene May
30 and Keene here May Is. The Keene
grounds, however, have been engaged by
another team for May 30, so that Brattle-
boro will play there May 10, and Keene
here next Saturday if possible.
