A SAMPLE of military judicial celebrity
is given in a last Saturdays special
from Havana. The Tenth Cavalry

A member of Garcia's staff says the suf-
ferers had been bandits, but when ar
rested by the Tenth Cavalry were car
rying pardons from the Civil Governor.
OF course a military commission out
weighs civil law, and ''off with his
head!" is necessary accompaniment
to power; therefore, a pardon Issued
by Civil Governor couldn't be con-
sidered. just why Gen. Wood is to

Increased Railroad Receipts.

A gratifying sign of the return of better
times is furnished by the report of
tickets sold at the st. Johnsbury station
the past three months. Mr. Hendersons
receipts for tickets in August was
$1OS1 .34 ahead OF the same month in
1898; for September they were $1423 so
above the same month last year, and for
October, 1899, they were $1490.43
ahead OF October, 1898. The travelling
auditor OF the Boston & Maine system
says most of the stations report better
business, but St. Johnsbury is far ahead
of them in proportion to the business
done. These figures do not include
freight receipts, which are undoubtedly
ahead of last tall as the freight business
on this division has. been unusually good
for several months.

The rlete0ric Shower.

In response to call by Prof. Brackett
lew of those interested in astronomy
met with him at the Academy to discuss
plans for a systematic observation OF the
expected meteor shower. According to
expectations the shooting will begin to-
night about midnight and may continue
several hours. The meteors will appear
to come out OF the constellation Leo
which at midnight will be in the north
eastern heavens, but will by no means be
confined to that quarter. To be OF any
statistical value, the number OF meteors
seen in a given time as one hour, should
be recorded. and the exact time, duration
and direction of any unusual display.
Amateur photographers may be OF SER
vice by making exposures during the
night. The camera should be firmly
pointed in the desired quarter and focus
ed by daylight if possible. Quick plates
should be used and should be exposed
about one hour with the largest opening
of the lens. Ii the meteors appear with
unusual frequency shorter time may be
given so as not to show too many on
one plate, for as each meteor passes
within range OF the camera it will leave
it's impression on the negative. The di-
rection of the camera and the exact time
of opening and closing the lens should be
recorded.
This coming phenomenon is so inire'
quent that all predictions may fail but
on this account accurate statistics are
all the more desirable.

The Star course opened in Music Hall
last Thursday evening with an illustrated
lecture on Norway by Mr. Robertson.
Those who heard him in the course last
year pronounced his pictures the finest
ever seen in St. Johnsbury, and his views
in this lecture of the cities of Norway, its
mountain scenery and the rugged coast
were beautiful. Many of them were
colored, which added much to their effec-
tiveness. Mr.. Robertson is thoroughly in
love with Norway and its people and all
who heard him will have a deeper inter
est in the life and future of the Scandna-
Wan people.

by Prof. D. Y. Comstock and the lecture

Croyvding the Weak Lines.

The wrangling between the differential
and standard roads is over the old points Of
differential fares. and the so-called minor
roads will hold out until their right TO diff
ferential fares is recognized, as well on
tourist business as on traffic fares. The
reason the fight is so obstinate is that the
smaller roads claim that to recede from
their standard would be establishing pre-
cedent and opening a gateway through
which a multitude OF evils would creep in
the next few months. The fight is not a
new one, for. in fact, 1t is one OF the oldest
controversies that modern railroads have
knowledge Of. When the rates were uni
form between certain points the small
roads, which were hampered by the many
things that now give them the right 10 diff
ferential fares. would get business by re-
sorting TO commissions TO ticket agents.
The agent, In turn, secured the country for
OF diligence in securing a fare share OF the
travel 1t was then the standard roads re-
uuested the withdrawal OF agents commits
sions and suggested in its place the dif-
ferential fare, which was acceded TO by the
smaller roads. Since that time clever
manipulation has been going on to wipe out
the differential fare. The commission has
been so far abandoned that there is no pos
sibility of its being revived under any cir
cumstances. Now the standard lines are
hoping to annul the differential fares and
leave the smaller roads without hope TO
which to cling.
