ADVICE STILL GOOD.

The older settled communities, where
land has increased beyond the limits
of poor people to purchase, they are
crowded out and seek the frontier
where better and cheaper land can be
had by the hundred. In most instances
they bring money with them and pay
down a considera BILE sum on a new pur-
chase, and as a rule but few years
find them out of debt and in good cir
cumstances. Greely's advice still holds

children from the Hamburg American
5 Gamer Bulgaria, which was met 500 miles
from the Azore islands on the 9TH, disabled
and in severe storm, now reports that
two other steamers, the names of which
are not known, were standing by the Bull
garia when he met her. The crew of the
Weehawken, the captain says, were obliged
to abandon further efforts TO rescue those
on board the Bulgaria, it being impossible
to return to the Hamburg American liner
after the passengers had been saved, ow-
ing to the Weehawkens boats being
wrecked as they lay alongside the Weehaw-
ken with heavy seas running The crew
of the Weehawken report that there is a
possibility that the steamer Bulgaria did
not founder The Weehawken lost sight
of the Bulgaria during the night of the 9th
and was obliged to proceed, having no
small boats and her bunkers being full of
| water.
The Bulgaria left New York on Jan. rs.
She had AZ passengers on board. Her crew
numbered rs, commanded by Captain
Schmidt. She carried a cargo of 107 horses
and 5000 tons Of freight the most of it be-
ing grain. All passengers were in the
steerage. They were mostly Germans and
from all parts of the United States. The

NEW Hampshire NOTES.
HIowto,he ProhibI,ory Law.

The New Hampshire house of repre-
sentalives, by its action on two bills last
week. began the gradual destruction Of
the prohibllory liquor law in this state. 1t
is not probable that this session will see
the complete overthrow of that system and
the enactment of a high license, local OPP
ton law, but the votes of last week in the
house are a considerable step in that direc-
ton. The first of the bills in question pro-
vides for the repeal of all moety clauses,
that is, provisions whereby the complain
ant or prosecutor gets a portion of the
fine for the violation of any statute. An
amendment, however, allows public pro-
secutor TO take such moiety, and it is pre-
dicted that this will result in a great scram-
BILE for the positions of city and county So
licitors.
The other bill provides for the repeal of
what is known as the nuisance act, !"
whereby buildings used for the sale of
liquor have been declared public nuisances
and placed under supreme court injunc-
tions. In each case the vote was taken on
a motion TO substitute the recommends
tion of minority of the committee, mex
pedient to legislate, for that of the ma jor-
ity, ought to pass. In the case OF the
moiety repeal the vote stood yes, (oppos)
ed 10 repeaD ITO; no, (favoring repeal

were, yes, l2S; no, III.

The Vermont Veterans association held
its 18th annual camp fire and reunion at
Young's hotel in Boston Tuesday night
Lieut.. Gov. Bates made the principal
speech. He extended Nermont's greetings
to the veterans and expressed the states
pride in her soldiers. Her Aliens and Bak-

of her people. The same spirit is now dis
played by her son Dewey. The people Of
Vermont stand for their beliefs and ideals
They are opposed to a government of the

There was not a Vermont soldier in the re-
cent war who would not have voted to rat
ify the peace treaty. Jesse c. Ivy of the
10th Alabama, a Confederate veteran, de-
livered an eloquent speech on The Union
Triumphant. Rev. Arthur Little told of
the experiences Of a Vermont chaplain in
the civil war. Harrison Hume described
incidents of the battle of Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville and Gettysburg.

Murdered wife on Wedding Anniver-

sRry.
Amos B. Palmer, a rich young man, well
known in society in Providence, R. l., shot
and killed his wife at their home in Edge
wood, town of Cranston, late Sunday night.
The tragedy came as the ending to an even
ing spent in celebration of the eighth ami
versary of Mr.. and Mrs. Palmers marriage.
1t is alleged that the husband fired FIVE
shots, four of which took effect in the re-
gion of the heart and one in the left arm.
1t is understood that Palmer was confined
at one time in the Butler hospital for the
insane.
The servants say that Mr.. Palmer was
intoxicated. After the guests had depart
ed both the host and hostess had supper
and retired to their rooms. A maid who
was in a room overhead says she heard
them laughing and talking and then came
a pounding noise. She then heard Mr..
Palmer call, saying: 81 think 1 have kill
ed her." She was met at the foot of the
stairs by Palmer, who said: "She is in
there" pointing to his room, and 81 have
killed her. Oh, God l have killed her.
have murdered my wife. My God! am
a murderer. Oh, what have donel Just
think, Mary, have killed my wife"
The girl found the body of her mistress
lying on the floor, with the head resting on
a hassock. She went for the coachman,
who came to the house at once. When he
arrived, he found Mr., Palmer, evidently
crazed, and with pistol in his hand, inten
apparently on taking his own life.
There was a struggle between the two
men. Palmer was disarmed of the re-
volver, and then he Gained down and rang
for a surgeon. Later the police arrested
Palmer. When arraigned at Knightsville,
he pleaded not guilty to the charge of
murder, and was committed without bail.
