This Was No, d. u. Moodv,s WAY.

The Atlanta preacher, Broughton, who
was brought up to Brooklyn to conduct re-
Vival meetings, continues TO free what he
calls his mind. Plymouth church is a Uni
tartan church, he says. Its assistant pas
tor (who wouldn't read the Broughton re-
vival notices. is Unitarian, he says. Ly-
man Abbott is Unitarian and Universe
list, he says. He (Broughton of Atlanta)
would sooner put "a passport to hell" in a
young woman's hands than a stenograph-
er's diploma. "You have very active
press in New York, and believe the devil
is preparing mighty hot hole in hell to
roast some of them, too" he says. We
wonder whether the Rev. DIR. Gregg is as
pleased with these later Broughtonisms as
he was with the earlier ones. We observe
that the revival committee last Saturday
thought it advisable to put out quasi-dis-
claimer of responsibility. Broughton's en-
gagement in Brooklyn draws to a close,
and we suspect the more intelligent and re-
fined evangelical" preachers of that Dor
ough will not be sorry to see him go. We
know that the Rev. Jay Benson Hamilton
wont be. In an open letter over his sigma
ture he says that the imported Atlanta re-
vivalist has "otfended the sense of Chris
tian propriety in almost every address,

Bryan's Running Mate says Hold the

Arthur Sewall, the Maine ship builder
who was Bryan's running mate in 1896,
says: 81 have always favored the acquisi-
ton of the Philippines after the Paris
treaty. The United States should stand with
the administration in all that is being done
to hold the Philippines; they are worth
retaining. Mr.. Mckinley will be renom.
mated and reelected. Mr.. Bryan. too.
will be renominated, but | fear that he
can not win the goal. The fact is the couu-
try has been too prosperous to warrant any
hope of change in the national admins
tration, and people are slow TO take up re-
form measures when times are as good as
they are at present. No, am not can

A SOCIAL HIaHwAYMAN.
Nephew OF Judge GIld,rsleeve OF New

w. G. Camp of Chicago.

Nephew OF Judge Glldtrsleeve OF New
York stole $1,000 In Jewels from Mrs.
w. G. Camp Of Chicago.
Alexander Hamilton Gildersleeve has
disappeared from Chicago after being en-
tertaned there in fashionable society two
months, taking with him the proceeds of
numerous robberies and leaving his friend
and sponsor, William Carpenter Camp, to
pay a lot of debts which Mr.. Camp guaran-
teed. Mrs. Camp lost jewels valued at
$1,000. Pawn tickets for these and for
many others are said to have been found in
Gildersleeve's trunk which he left at the
Auditorium Annex when he departed. 1t
is inferred that Gildersleeve's operations
extended over New York, st. Louis and
Chicago. Young men whom he met in
Chicago say Gildersleeve left for short
trips, and he always returned with plenty
of money. One trip to st. Louis is said to
have Melted him Sl100.
Gildersleeve came to Chicago in Decem-
Der. He had met Mr. Camp at the Wal
dorf- Astoria in New York and when he
came to Chicago the acquaintance was re-
newed. He soon made his way with the
introductions he got through Mr.. Camp
and other men he met at the Auditorium
Annex.
The first thing missed from the Camp
home was a diamond and ruby scarf pin.
This loss was not reported to the police, as
it was thought the pin had been mislaid
After Gildersleeve disappeared Mrs Camp
found that diamond sunburst, diamond
locket, two scarf pins and jewelled tie ring
were gone.
Mr.. Camp is known to many Vermont
people. He is a son of l. n. Camp, for
many years of the firm of Estey IL Camp
in Chicago.
While in ST. Louis Gildersleeve stayed
at the st. Louis club and the st. Nicholas
He is nephew of Judge Gildersleeve of
New York city, and his conduct previous
to his visit to Chicago had caused his fam
lily great trouble.

NUMBERING OPERATIONS.
Probably 1000 Men in Windham COun-
ty in This Industry.

Tracts of Timber Land Being Bought
by the Diamond Match Company and
other COncerns---sOme of the Large
Contractors.
The numbering operations in Windham
county have reached this winter magni-
tude not known in years. The sound of
the choppers axe is heard in every quarter
of the county and the hum of the circular
saws makes an accompaniment to labors
of the 1000 men, more or less, who are en-
ployed in numbering operations. The short
ness of the lumber market and the sub
stantial advance in the price of the raw
material have driven numerous buyers into
the county, and there is hardly a stable
tract in the county that has not been look
ed over and for which no offer has been
made.
The demand is for all kinds of lumber
from the softest pine to the hardest rock
maple. One of the largest buyers is the
Diamond Match company, which uses
large quantities of pine in the manu-
facture of matches. Haywood Brothers
of Gardner, Mass, manufacturers of
furniture, are buying large amounts OF
oak, maple, beech and other hard lumber.
The Potter company of Springfield, Mass,
who recently bought the Fletcher mill in
Brattleboro, have sent the machinery to
New York to be remodelled, and upon its
return they will saw out half million feet
of hard and soft lumber.
A carload of lumber a day is being
shipped from Jamaica by the Jennings
Lumber company of Winchester, n. H.,
who will get out 100000 feet during the
winter and spring. F. j. Bailey of Brattle-
boro and NJ. D. Downing of Keene, n. H.,
have sold several thousand acres of stand
ing timber, and their sales, together with
contemplated sales of timber now in their
possession, including 5000 acres in STRAIT
ton, amount to over 0,000 Chellis &
Hastings of Claremont, N. H., whose mill
was burned last week, have contracted to
cut several hundred thousand feet of lum-
Der from the H. NJ. Adams farm in MARI
boro.
W. G. Doolittle will cut half million feet
from the Howard farm and from other farms
in Guilford ard 1 100000 feet from nearby
lots in Leyden. Squlres Brothers of Gull
ford also have contracts for several hundred
thousand feet. Contractors were in Brat
tleboro Saturday and the first of this week
trying to place contracts for 1000 large
chestnut telephone poles for which they
offered to pay from $4 to 81 each.
In addition TO the operations here speci-
fed extensive operations are carried on fol-
the various mills and factories in Brattle-
boro, Wilmington, Putney, Westminster,
Bellows Falls and other towns throughout
the county.

The Abrogation of the CIsytOn-BuIwsr
Treaty.


The RECESSION of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty, the only diplomatic obstacle to the
construction and management of the Near
aqua canal under the sole control of the
United States, has been accomplished by an
agreement, signed on Monday by Secretary
Hay, representing the United States, and
Lord Pauncefote, representing Great Brit
ain. The convention will soon be sent to the
Senate for ratification. Under the substi-
tute treaty the dual control of the water
way by the two countries, as provided for
by the Clayton Bulwer treaty, is expressly
rescinded, and provision is made for the
naturalization of the canal. Warships of
every nation will be allowed to use It in
peace or war. The United States stipulates
not to fortify the approaches, or otherwise
TO obstruct commerce through the canal.
The Clayton Bulwer treaty was made in
view of and under the stress of circum-
stances existing a half century ago, when
the English possession of or claim of sover-
eighty over the territory at the eastern or
Atlantic outlet of the canal made it expe-
dent to conciliate British interests and to
invite the investment of British capital in
the old canal enterprise.
One of the stipulations of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty was that neither power was
to colOnize or exercise dominion over Mica
ragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito Coast or
any portion of Central America. On sew
eral occasions since the execution of the
treaty American statesmen have urged that
it had been annuled by the action of Great
Britain in exercising authority over por-
| tions of the country from which she was
excluded by the treaty terms. Conserva-
tive American statesmen have held, how
ever, that an express remuneration of the
British right or color of right to the con-
troll of the canal jointly with the United
States would be highly desirable before
this country irrevocably commits itself to
the construction of the work. When the
Federal Interpretation of the treaty and
the present British relation to it were the
subjects of diplomatic correspondence,
Great Britain showed a strong disposition
to accept the convention as still valid and
of binding force as to the dual protecto-
rate. The next step for this government
will be to reopen negotiations with Mica
ragua and Costa RIGA, and obtain such
concessions as each of those republics is
prepared to make on the contingency of
our wishing to go ahead with the construc-
tion OF canal on the route recommended
by the Walker commission last spring.
Then the executive branch of our govern
ment will lie by and wait for the legislative
branch to say what route shall be taken
and what course pursued in other respects.

MeetIng Of Grani,s Mannfno,nr.rs.

An effort is to be made by the New Eng.
land Granite Manufacturers association to
settle differences existing between the man.
ufacturers and the union regarding new
regulations, which are to govern the price
of labor, hours of work, etc, after March
l. A meeting is to be held at Boston the
18th, at which the whole question will be
considered. The granite manufacturers of
Quincy have appointed nine delegates, with
full powers, and it is expected that the
manufacturers of Concord, N. H., Barre,
Montpelier, Hallowel, Me, Westerly, R.
l., and other places will also send repre-.
sentatives. The union will ask for an
eight.hour day, with minimum wage of
So. The manufacturers do not favor the
demand. 1t is generally believed by out.
siders that compromise can be reached.

Closing the Agency at ST. Albans.

The vote to close the agency simply bids
the legal sale stop and says to the dive
keepers, the bootleg peiders, the hip
pocket vendors the down cellar, backstair,
sidewalk, back-aley sellers, " Do business"
And they will.
That is one side of It. Again, If the
friends of high license hoped to gain a
point by way of demonstrating the effects
of the absolute prohibition of the sale of
liquor, their labor was certainly wasted in
st. Adams, because there is no doubt that
st. Adams would already vote for high
license. Its last representative in the gon.
eral assembly voted for high license and it
IS more than likely that the next will be
instructed to do the same rSt. Adams

The Field Ministries.

AL. q. Fields greater minstrels were the
attraction at the Auditorium Wednesday
evening, furnishing over two and a half
hours of entertainment to an audience
which caught on to and applauded part of
the numerous jokes and let a good many
go by without notice. The Field minstrel
company is one of the best aggregations
travelling. The performance Wednesday
evening was on the whole satisfactory al
though parts of it could have been left out
without materially lessening the value of
the remainder. The stage setting in the
first part, representing palm garden was
unusually pretty, and the costumes of the
singers and comedians had the appearance
OF being comparatively new. Tommy
Donnelly and Reese Prosser were favorably
received in their songs, one coon medley
and the other sentimental ballad, and
Harrys Skunk and Sheldon received a
share of the applause from their renderings
of You haven't Treated Me Right" and
THE Blue and the Gray" The best sing
ing of the evening was done by John G.
Dickens, whose rich baritone voice was
heard to advantage in 1.-THE Corsair."
Mr.. Dickens did not receive the recogni-
ton he deserved, simply because his song
was one that had to be sung instead of bel
lowed. The dancing of Hyde, Farman
and Quigley, especially the latter, was
clever. George Hassell, the wonderful
boy soprano, appeared to be suffering with
laryngitis.
The second part of the performance was
the equal of any ever seen here. Ever
hardt gave wonderful exhibition with his
trained hoops and the Faust family of &C
robats kept the audience spell-bound with
its feats of strength and agility. The en-
tertainment closed with a nonsensical skit
by Welby, Pearl and Keyes, in which the
latter did some remarkable high kicking.

The Picture Play by Albert armstrong

There have been various attractions in
the amusement line in Brattleboro this
week, but none has struck so high a level
as the picture play, 1.-THE Little Minister"
from Barrie's novel, given in the Audito-
rum Tuesday evening by Albert Arm
strong under the auspices of the Woman's
club for the benefit of the free kindergar-
ten. The attendance was not large, but
those present were unanimous in express
sions of appreciation and approval. Mr..
Armstrong; picture play is not merely a
stereopticon entertainment, but an illustrat
ed monologue. The illustrations were
colored dissolviHg views taken from photo
graphs, which Mr.. Armstrong made in
Scotland, and they served to keep wildly
before the audience the actual situation as
the characters of the play, Babbie, Nan
ME, the minister, DR.. Mcqueen and the
Others, were delineated by Mr.. Armstrong.
The sentiment of the representations was
ccurately and admirably interpreted by
he monologist, and his movements were
in perfect harmony with the successive
scenes, although much of their effect was
lost in the almost total darkness required
for the exhibition of the views.
