Gave Himself up to the Police.

Word reached here last Sunday that
Frank P. Corcoran of this place had
given himself up to the New York police
and confessed that he had embezzled
$4,000 from the Metropolitan Stock Ex-
change Of Boston. Mr.. Corcoran was
manager of the local branch of the ex-
change, and left st. Johnsbury about
two weeks ago on the night train. No
one, not even his wife, had heard from
him since, until news came of his sur
render to the New York police. Mr.
Corcoran must have operated heavily in
the market to have taken so much money
and his sudden departure was a great
surprise to his customers who had no
reason to suspect any crookedness in his
accounts. 1t will be remembered that
an indictment is over him for keeping a
bucket shop contrary to the Vermont
Statutes, and the Boston company have
furnished his bond for $1,000 for ap-
pearance at the December term OF court.
The case is now before the Supreme court
on the question OF the legality of the in
dictment.
Mr.. Corcoran is still detained in New
York. and though he has waived the
right of extradition and is willing tC
come back to st. Johnsbury, the New
York police are holding him on the claim
that extradition papers are necessary.

Republican Rally.

The last republican rally OF the local
campaign was held in Music Hall on
Saturday evening. Owing to the ex-
IRENE heat there was rather small at
tendance but there were two good
speeches and all present were well repaid
for their attendance. L. P Slack presided
and gracefully introduced the speakers
of the evening. Lieut.. Gov. Bates was
the first one and he spoke fer about 40
minutes upon the difference between re-
publican rule and democratic rule as
shown by the prosperity of the country
and cited many statistics to prove his
statements. Gov. Bates address was
full of convincing facts and figures that
were presented in a forceful and eloquent
manner.
The principal address of the evening
was given by John Barrett, exminister to
Siam. Mr. Barrett's speech was devoded
entirely to the discussion of the Philip
pine question and the issue of imperial
ism.
Mr.. Barrett referred to Generals Stot-
zenburg and Lawton, the latter demo
crat of democrats, who fell fighting for
their flag and country in the Philippines,
and to their views on the Philippine
situation. He also read letter from
General Lawton, written him but short
time before awtOr' G death.
The speaker devoted some time to
showing why it was necessary for
Admiral Dewey and the American flag
to remain at Manila bay and then
turned his attention to Aguinaldo, whom
he knew personally. He scored those
antiimperalists who compare Agulnaldo
to George Washington characterized the
Filipino chief as INSCRIPTIONS, and
showed that Admiral Dewey never re-
ceived Aguinaldo, except IN an informal
manner, proving that the rebel chief
never had any hold on Dewey or on the
American government, Mr.. Barrett ex-
eloded the story that Admiral Dewey
furnished Aguinaldo with arms and
showed where the Fiipinos procured
their rifles.
In conclusion MI DdIIelt SPOhC VI Ihe
effect of Dewey's victory, the strength OF
our molal position in the Philippines,
and of the knowledge that came to the
brown men of the east through the
American victories in the Spar ishAmeri-
can war that the flag OF this country
represents a power that must be re-
spected on every sea and in every land.
Stirring music for the rally was fur
nished by the St. Johnsbury Band.

Two Good Ball Games.

The st. Johnsbury boys put up two
games of ball last week, but the only
trouble was that in the last game the
other fellows won. The boys played
against the Bellows Falls nine, which has
won most of it's games this season, and
found strong team with nine crack
players. The first game was quite a
pitchers contest and was as fine an ex-
hibition of good ball playing as has ever
been seen on our campus. The home
nine had only one error charged to
them aud Abbott and Gokey each secured
two base hits. Gokey pitched the second
day, and though the game was won in
the second inning our boys held the Wis
itors down all the rest of the game and
kept the crowd guessing as to the final
result until the last inning was played.
Mr.. Gaskill, the official scorer, has kindly
furnished us with the scores of the two
games and they tell their own story:

In one of the United States health
reports published in Washington a few
simple remedies for emergency uses
are suggested. Witch hazel is one and
is recommended as one of the quickest
soothers and restorers of tired brain.
Battle the eyes and forehead freely with
the liquid and apply cloth wet with
it at the back of the neck.
Cloths wet in strong solution Of
borax water are very cool and healing
in case of burn; care should be taken,
however, to exclude the air in putting
them on.
A tiny pinch Of powdered borax
placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop a hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night. The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat and at the slightest irri-
tation or soreness Of the throat a gar
gle of salt water and borax will be
found efficient.

Automobile Trip.

0. and B. w. McCrillis, state agents
for Stoddard's lectures, went to Mont
peier from here last week in their neat
little automobile. They left st, Johns.
bury at 80 O'Clock Monday, and reach
ed the Pavilion hotel at about o'clock.
The numerous hills, they said, did not
bother the machine. They met, how
ever, many farmers out riding with their
families, and every one of them insisted
upon having the automobile halted
while the horses were made to approach
the machine and smell of it. This took
some time because the horses often OBJ
jected to getting into close quarters with
the mysterious carriage. The farmers
said the horseless vehicles were sure to
be running all about the country before
long, and they were anxious to have
their horses learn what they were like
so as not to be frightened later.

How is it that Englishmen are not
the best linguists in Europe? Simply
and solely because of the general and
absurd deaf and dumb" method of
studying foreign languages. Foreign
ers learning English know better than
to waste years over books; they simply
"chatter" and learn one word and eX-
preston after another, and become
familiar with them by constant repeti-
ton, with the result that in a few
months they can speak and write our
language sufficiently well for all prac-
tical purposes.-London Mail.

A Submerged Forest.

There is a submerged forest on the

the Cascade mountains. According to
Mr.. G. X. Gilbert, the submergence
took place $50 years ago, and since
then the roots have been under water,
while the upper parts Of the trunks
have been barred yearly at low water.
The bark is gone and the wood partly
wasted away, but some Of it is firm
and looks fresh. This fact seems ow-

morning and be escorted from the train
to Grand Army Hall by the members of
the Third regiment. old soldiers and
Company D. Of the Vermont Volunteers.
Music for the occasion will be furnished

THE REPRESENTATIVE QUESTION.
rcontinued from first page.1

He also served upon other important COM
mittees. AS representative he will bring
to his aid legislative experience, and will
we predict, rank among the first OF the
representatives in the legislature.
We ask the voters for moment to
consider the other alternative. There is
little doubt that the next representative
will be either the Republican caucus
nominee or the Democratic nominee.
The Democratic party, ever alert to take
advantage of any dissension in the Re
publican ranks, are working with unit
ed zeal to defeat the Republican candl-
date, elect their own candidate,
and msrepresent the town of st.
Tohnsbury by electing Democratic rep
resentative with Republican votes. We
urge nothing personally against the
Democratic nominee except that he is
Democrat and stands zealously and firm
" upon the platform Of Bryan Demo-
cracy, and also upon the Randall plat
form of two years ago, including high
license with local option. We believe
that the people of st. Johnsbury would
blush at the result Democratic repre-
sentative, however good man, were
sent from St. Johnsbury, especially to
have the town recorded as being in favor
of high license in this, year when the
high license advocates are making siren
uous assaults upon the prohibitory
law.
Let all good Republicans and all who
oppose high license, then, rally to the
support of Mr.. Blodgett and cast their
ballot in his favor
