The Paris treaty of peace with Spain
was ratified by the United States senate
on Monday, Feb. 6, by vote of 81 yeas
to ~ nays. This meant two votes to
spare, two-thirds vote being neces-
sary. The votes changed at the last
moment, and which are understood to
have secured its passage, were those of
Senators McEnery of Louisiana and Nc
Laurin of South Carolina. Senator Jones
of Nebraska reserved his vote to the last
and then let it go on the winning side /;
but we have confidence enough in the
senator, who is a very able man, to think
that he would have voted differently had

\ Nergennes Mans Ouandary.

A New Haven, Conn, despatch to the
New York World says. "Who am and
what is my name?" is the information
which man in Vergennes, VT, seeks to
obtain from City Clerk Lyon. He writes
as follows: II think was born in New
Haven, Conn, and | would like to have
you send me my correct age. | don't
know who am or where came from.
| may be mistaken, but have faint re-
collection of my father, and think his
name was Edward Mulrooney. 81 was

when | was young. and do not remember
much about myself. have sister and
brother somewhere in this world, but
have lost them, too. My name, think,
is James j. MulrOoney." Mr.. Lyon re-
ferred the matter to the registrar of vital
statistics, who found that son, Thomas,
was born to James Mulrooney and his
wife, Bridget, in 1871. No further re-
cord of the family is given.

More Mileage-BOok Trouble.

The suit of l.. s. Hayes of Bellows
Falls against Conductor Wyman of the
Rutland railroad for the alleged CONVEX
sion of mileage book was heard before
Justice G. II. Williams at Below Falls.
A jury was empanelled and rendered a
verdict in favor of the plaintiff. The
railroad company took an appeal and
will carry the case to the higher courts
for decision, this hearing having no
bearing on the case as question of law.
The case has excited much attention
throughout the state and is most i'm

passenger to travel on mileage book
issued to another party and used in yio-
lation of the company's contract and con-
trary to the established rules and regula-
tiOns of the road.

President Brown wrote Admiral Dewey
covering the whole proposition, asking
the admiral to signify his approval or

answer has just come from Manila by
cable, giving full approval. In view of
Admiral Dewey's favorable attitude,

possible celebrity. Arrangements have

that the 100000 which it is proposed to

Bishop Williams Dead.

Bishop John Williams of Connecticut
and senior bishop of the House of
Bishops of the Episcopal church died
unexpectedly at his home Feb. Z. He
was 50 years old. The deceased had been
suffering with light attack of the grip
for about a week but no fatal result was
anticipated. Though Bishop Williams
had practically been an invalid for two
years and confined to his bed, his infirm-
tiles were of physical nature. The
bishops mind was bright and active to
the end and he never lost his interest In
the Berkeley Divinity school. He con-
tinued his class in the divinity school,
the students coming to his room for
lectures.

The result of the Egan court martial
has been announced officially by the
president. 1t appears that the courts
sentence was dismissal from the army,
with recommendation to the president
for clemency in carrying out the SEN
tence. The president approves all the
findings of the court and the sentence
but in view of General Egan's gallant
conduct in battle and long and honorable
service, the president commutes the SEN
tence to suspension from rank and duty
for six years. The office of commissary
general is thus not vacated by General
Egan and he will draw his full pay of
$500 per year, the duties of the Office
In the meantime being performed by an
acting commissary general. 1t is thought,
however, that General Egan will within
year ask to be put upon the retired list,
which would act to vacate the office.

Much as we may regret the necessity

Spain, the heart of every American VIII
be thrilled by the deeds of vaor of our
troops in the late battle with the Fill

they charged and drove back the natives
at every point will furnish American
history with many story for future
generations. Their sweeping through
the villages, every hut in which was
pouring forth upon them leaden hail ,
their daring entry into every such
stronghold and capture of the concealed
sharpshooters, their fearless assault up.

natives-all this but goes to show the

they would in case of need.

DR.. Bisbee's New Bristol store.


d. A. Bisbee's new drug store was
opened to the public last Friday evening,
and it goes without saying that 1t is one
of the handsomest stores in the county,
says the Bristol Herald. The store is 20
feet wide and 80 feet deep and II feet be-
tween floors. Steel ceiling, artistcally
painted, was used for the sides and cell
ing, presenting an attractive appearance.
The counters and shelving are of quar-
tered oak, as is also the prescription
desk. The latter is surmounted by a
large black eagle which was shot by the
doctor last spring. 1t measured seven
feet four inches from tip to tip of wings.
Handsome show cases are filled with
goods usually kept by druggists. A very
handsome Tufts soda fountain is located
on the left as you enter the store, from
which delicious cold drinks will be drawn
the coming season. The building is
heated by a furnace in the cellar. The
second floor will be occupied by the
Good Templars and the Bristol Military
band. DR.. Bisbee certainly has no rea-
son for feeling ashamed of his portion of
the new Union block. 1t Is all right.

A pen Picture of KipIinp.


When Rudyard Kipllng arrived in New
York harbor from England last week he
was besieged on board the liner by re-
porters, but refused to speak to them.
This is description given of his appear
ance and actions-in retaliation, prOba-
bly,: The author could not keep still
moment; he fused stood first on one
foot, then the other, and his little eyes
danced beneath his heavy, black brow
and glittered with greenish tinge
through his gold-bowed spectacles.
His lips caressed cigar of the size and
color affected by Tod Sloane, who ia a
trihe smaller than Kipling. His dark
blue serge suit fitted like "a purser's
shirt on handspike" and was far from
new. His face was tanned and the en-
tire man, never imposing, was almost
extinguished by black derby hat, three
sizes too large, that covered his head
from eyebrows to the nape of the neck.
He trotted back into his stateroom, out
again, up on deck, where he shifted the
weather, sat down on steamer chair
for 2 81 seconds, got up and ambled the
length of the deck, where he said,
"good morning" to woman, quickly
pacing back to the stern, where he
gazed cOntemplatively at the Majestics
wake for three seconds, looking out of
the tail of his eye for the reporters all
the time, and then back to his stateroom.
