is concerned he might hand in his resigna-

HINSDAIE N. II.

f. H. Willis of Springfield is reported to
have bought out the Hinsdale and North
field clothing business of Jones & O'Brien.
Account of stock was taken Tuesday and
Wednesday, and it looks as if the trade
was consummated. There seems to be
some grounds for the rumor that W. o.
Amidon of Springfield will be the real
owner and manager when the deal is per-
fected, as he has rented and is furnishing
the Wilder residence on River street, pre-
paratory to returning to Hinsdale to live.
+. III. Jones will no doubt continue in the
apothecary business at the old stand, but
the two departments will hereafter be en-
tirely distinct from each other.-[ Hinsdale

Thomas b. Reed "a Member OF New
York Law Firm,

York Law Firm.
Announcement was made Wednesday
from the law office Of Simpson, Thacher
& Barnum, New York city, that Speaker
Thomas B. Reed of Maine had decided to
become member of that firm on his re-
turn from trip to Europe, on which he
will start in few days. Mr.. Reed when
asked If he would resign his seat in Con-
gress, said that he would rather not talk
on that subject and that he had not given
it consideration. Mr.. Reed and his wife
and daughter intened to leave for Europe
early this week, but their departure was
delayed TO settle the question of entering
the law firm. All three members of the
firm are New Enganders and comparative
ly young men. Mr. Simpson graduated
from Amherst in 1871; Mr., Thscher, a son
Of Prof. Thacher of Yale, from Yale in 1871,
and VIM. II. Barnum, son Of the late Sena-
tor VIM. II. Barnum of Lime Rock, Conn,
from Yale in 1877. 1t was reported early
in the week that the Speaker had been Of
fered $4,000 a year as member Of the
firm.
The retirement of Mr. Reed from public
life, if it becomes a fact, will be a greater
loss to the country than would that of any
other man now in official station. The
| office of speaker of the national House of
| Representatives has grown TO be second in
importance only to that of the President,
and the power of the Speaker to influence
and control legislation in Congress far ex-
| ceeds that of the President. 1t is entirely
true that, under the ''iron rule" of Mr..
Reed, which his opponents like so much
to declaim against, greater power than
ever before has been gathered into the
| Speakers hands, not no man living will or
can say that Mr.. Reed has ever used this
power for any purpose but the public good,
He has never used it for merely partisan
advantage. Much less, his most violent
opponent never thought or intimated that
he ever used it for single instant for his
personal gain or advantage. He has stood
like rock for what he believed to be cor
rect principles of national policy, and it was
his sturdy and sheltering arm that saved
the Mckinley administration from the
fatal onset of its alleged friends, and from
the fury of the congressional rabble, in the
early days of the administration, and while
the events which led up to the war with
Spain were drawing to their elimination
At this stage of his career Mr.. Reed ha'
a right to think of his personal interests
but so far as his country is concerned it il
to be hoped that he may long remain big
souled, big-calibered public servant, wht
scorns unmoved the fawning and the fury
of friends and foes alike, so long as h,
knows he is in the right.

Startling story from Samoa.

A Seattle Times despatch from Victoria,
B. c., says thai the steamer Aorangi, from
Australia, brings advices that the COM
mander of the German man. of war Fake,
at Samoa, has been arrested by the British
and is held prisoner on the British
vessel Porpoise. He was surprised by
squad of British soldiers handing arms and
ammunition to Mataafa's men. The re-
port was brought to Australia by the pas
sengers on the steamer Upols. The ar
rest is reported to have been made on the
4th
After the arrest of the Falkes command
er a conference was held between Capt.
Sturdee and Admiral Kautz, and the Por-
poise and Philadelphia steamed into posi-
tion on either side of the Fake. Orders
were then sent aboard that if the Fake
made a move of any kind she would be
blown out of the water. No one is allow
ed to 60 aboard or leave the German ship
of-war without permission, written an d
signed by either Capt. Sturdee of the Por
poise, or Admiral Kautz. The story is
discredited at Washington.

Della Fox Was Unable to Assume Her
Role and Her Company Therefore
Could Not Appear at the Auditorium
---Result, DIsbandment.
Winsome Della Fox did not disport her
self on the Auditorium stage last Saturday
evening. There was no performance by
her company, although the advance sale
of seats was large. "The Little Host"
was presented at Keene Thursday evening
and at Bellows Falls Friday evening. Miss
Fox did not appear, the leading role being
filled by an understudy. The audience in
both places was greatly pleased with the
performance as a whole, but there was in
evitably disappointment at the failure of
the star to take her part.
George +. Fox, manager of the Bratte-
boro Auditorium, telephoned Friday even
ing to the manager of the company at
Bellows Falls and was told by him that
Miss Fox was too in to appear here. Mr..
Fox at once cancelled the engagement,
and Saturday morning displayed signs
stating that there would be no perform
ance. People Who had bought tickets had
their money refunded. The members of
the company arrived in Brattleboro Satur-
day, however, with the expectation of CIV
ing the opera with the understudy in the
leading role. Mr.. FOX controlled the Aud
itorium, and he refused TO allow the
the presentation TO be given. He had ad-
vertsed Miss FOX extensively and il the
performance were given with some one
else III her part many in the audience
would be disappointed. Mr.. Fox kept
faith with the patrous of the Auditorium,
however, although the loss to him was
large, including rent of Auditorium, ad-
! I;e IA
| ally commended and it will inspire conf
dence IN the future regarding attractions
which appear under his management.
After the company arrived here gen
eral discussion took place among the sing
ers as to the plans for the remainder of
the season, and as it was evident that
| Miss Fox would not be able to go on the
stage for some time decision to dsband
was reached and the members left in the
afternoon, a majority of them going to
New York.

BRATTLEBORO:
FRIDAY, APRIL 81, 1899.

The part of Gov. Rolins's New Hamp-
shire Fast proclamation which has caused
somuch discussion, was as follows: "There
are towns where no church bell sends
forth its solemn call from January to Jan
uary. There are villages where chill
dren grow to manhood unchristened.
There are communities where the dead are
laid away without the benison of the name
of the Christ, and where marriages are
solemnized only by justices of the peace"
The Burlington Clipper has been through
Waltons Vermont Register and finds that
it gives total of 40 churches in Vermont
that are without pastors. This list is full
of inaccuracies, however, and proves moth

Only One Senator from PennsyIvanIa

The great battle for United States sena-
tor ended at Harrisburg, Pa, Wednesday
without an election, and, unless Gov.
Stone calls an extra session, at which there
should be an election, Pennsylvania will
have only one representative in the United
States Senate during the next two years.
The senatorial contest began on Jan. II.
On that day Senator Quay received his
highest vote, 1l2 men casting their ballots
for him. This was 13 less than necessary
to a choice, and he never came nearer an
election during the more than three months
of the struggle. The fight has been dis,
tinctly on Quay and anti-Quay lines, and
both sides have had numerous representa-
tives here at all times keeping a close
watch on the members and on each other
Both sides promise that the contest will be
carried into every county in the state ant
waged necessarily until supremacy is as
sured.

Changes In the Military Commands.

Brig. Gen George w. Davis, United
States volunteers, will succeed Brig Gen.
Guy V. Henry, United States army, in
command of the department of Porto
Rico, which carries with it the office of
governor of the island. Gen. Davis is
lieutenant colonel of the 9th infantry in
the regular service, and is at present in
Washington as a member of the court of
inquiry investigating the beef controversy.
1t is probable that when Maj. Gen.
William R. Shafter retires from active
service in October he will be succeeded by
Gen. John r. Brooke in command of the
department of California. Life in the
tropics is very hard on some of the older
officers, and as Gen. Brooke is nearly 81
years of age the administration desires to
give him as desirable an assignment as
possible. 1t is reported in army circles
that Brig Gen. James f. Wade, the presi-
dent of the army court of inquiry, who
is now without a command, will succeed
Gen. Brooke as governor general of Cuba.
Gen. Wade will ultimately become COM
manding general of the army. All the
general officers who are senior to him will
retire before he is placed on the inactive
list. Gen. Miles will reach the retiring
age on August s, 1908, and Gen. Wade
will remain in active service until April
