1t may be worth while if there are any
souls nervous about militarism, to remind
them that with Porto Rico and Cuba to
garrison, with the Philippine instruction
to stamp out and with the necessity of
maintaining contingent at Pekin, we are
not employing twice as many soldiers as
we had in the regular army in 1867. In
that year we had 56,8l5 officers and men
in the permanent establishment, all sta
toned in the United States. Today we
have less than 100000, regulars and vol
unteers, scattered from Portland, Me-,

As Sound as Four Years Ago.
From the Albany Jou nall

Jones, of Arkansas, is still claiming
everything for Bryan. Claiming is Sena-
tor Jones's forte. In 1896 he claimed
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa and Minnesota by pluralties
ranging from 10000 to $4,000; but all
those states went for Mckinley by plurali-
ties ranging from IS, 1S1 in Indiana, 10
142, 49S in Illinois. Doubtless Mr.. Jones's
present claims are as sound as those he
made four years ago.

Reception Given 90 Pastor Renshaw by
Christian EndeSvOr soclety--Mr. Rem
shaw Presented with s95 In Gold.
One Of the prettiest social functions ever
held in the Congregational church was the
reception given to the pastor, by the Christ
ian Endeavor society on Thursday evening
of last week The rooms we're verv hand
somely decorated with the brilliant hued
autumn flowers, combined with vines. A
dainty repast was served in the dining
room, previous to which letter had been
pinned upon each guest, and when all were
seated at the table, it was found that by a
clever arrangement of those having the
matter in hand, the sentence formed read I:
Good wishes and Gods blessing ever at
tend our friend and pastor, William E.
Renshaw." Mr. Renshaw being seated so
as to represent himself. The supper was
followed by the proposal of several toasts,
all appropriate to'the occasion, which were
happily responded to, after which all re-
paired to the parlor, where an enjoyable
program was rendered. Miss Florence
Goddard, president of the society, in few
well chosen words presented the pastor
with S25 in gold, a So gold piece repre-
senting each year in which he has labored
among this people, as a slight token of the
appreciation of the society, for the great
help he has been to them, to which Mr..
Renshaw feelingly responded Although
the society would have been glad to have
extended their invitations, and made this
general reception to the retiring pastor,
the affair was hastily gotten up, and was
strictly confined TO the Christian Endeavor
membership.

some OF the greatest men in the list did

Organized Company with 100000
Capital.

Charles L. Goessmann and Prof. G. A.
Goessmann of Amherst, Don Farnsworth
of New York and D. II. Kendrick of Am
herst, formerly of Putney, have formed a
stock company to manufacture new kind
of parchment by process recently invent
ed by Charles L. Goessmann. The incor-
poration was effected Monday, with cap
ital stock of 100000. Patents have been
granted for the parchment, both in this
country and in Europe. 1t will PROBABLY
be some time before the plans can be com
pleted sufficiently to begin the manufac-
ture of the paper, but few shares of stock
have been placed on sale at par. 1t is
thought that the manufacture of the parch-
ment can be carried on as an adjunct to
some other paper mill, though nothing def
mite in this respect has yet been decided
upon. The capital stock has been fixed at
a high enough figure, so that the company
can build mill, if they so desire, to carry
out their plans. 1t is likely to be some
time before definite arrangements can be
made,

THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
Mrs. Stephen Van Arnam.

Former Putney Girl Died ia Orange,
Mass, Thursday Under Particularly
sad circumstances.
Mrs. Stephen Van Arnam, 25, formerly
Miss Mary Rock of this town, died at her
home in Orange, Mass, Thursday of last
week after an illness of several weeks with
typhoid fever. Mrs. Van Arnam came
to Putney from Townshend six or seven
years ago and lived in the family of G. L.
Pierce. She learned the milliner's trade
in Brattleboro, and went to Orange be.
tween two and three years ago. She was
married to Mr.. Van Arnam Feb 8, 1899,
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs Pierce, and
went directly to Orange to begin house
keeping. Mrs. Van Arnam was an active
member of the Baptist church and she

Orange, by her winning ways. The flu
neral Is attended by John Rock of East
PutnC brother of the deceased, Mr.. and
Mrs. Burditt of this town, and Miss
Juns Aed of Bellows Falls.
I'll lowing concerning the death of
Mrs. Arnam is from the Orange En-
terpril Id Journal of last Friday: "The
news he death of Mrs. Stephen f.
Van Arnan will be received with feeling
of sadness by all who knew this young
lady. For the afflicted husband and the
baby of only seven weeks of age there will
be the deepest sympathy. Mrs. Van Ar
nam had not fully recovered from child
birth when she was attacked with typhoid
fever which terminated fatally last even
ing. She married Mr.. Van Arnam about
IS months ago, and during her residence
in this place has made many friends. She
was member of the Stepping Stone club,
and If the funeral is held here, that or
ganization will probably attend in body"
