Death Of s1-Mayor strong Of New York

Death OF ex-Mayor Strong Of New York.
Ex-Mayor William L. Strong of New
York city died suddenly at his home Fri.
day morning. 1t is believed that the act
i've part which he had taken in the politi-
cal campaign this year hastened the end.
Mayor Strong was a native of Mansfield,
Ohio, and had few early educational ad-
vantages. His father died when he was
10. he worked many years as dry goods
salesman, and in 1859 became the head of
a firm in New York city. The business
career of his house is a notable chapter in
the history of the New York dry goods
trade, and he amassed a fortune esti-
mated at several millions. With pros
perity in trade his interest became diversi-
fed, including financial, railway and in
surance institutions. Mr. Strong was one
of the leaders in the reform movement
which swept New York in 1894, and was
selected by the non-partisan committee of
20 to run for mayor on the reform plat
form. he was elected by a plurality of
over Al, 900, and for three years was the
executive head of the metropolis of the
country. While the reformers were disap-
pointed in some respects with his admins
tration, it is generally admitted that the
public service and the physical condition of
the city were greatly improved under his
direction. He appointed Col. Warning the
commissioner of street cleaning, and placed
the police department in the hands Of The
odore Roosevelt. Although partisan Re
publican, Mr.. Strong was avowedly indie
pendent in his views on city politics, and
was not under the control of Mr.. Plat.
He has one son who served for a time as
major in the Philippines.

The tramp who was killed by bull near
North Clarendon recently has been identi,
fed as Oliver Bell, II, by D. L. Morgan,
superintendent of the house of correction
at Rutland. Bell served a three months
sentence there in 1889 for vagrancy, and
also another term last spring. He claimed
to be a shoemaker by trade and a native of
Canada.
Daniel Bryant is Ludlow's most success
full deer hunter. He won a reputation as
a marksman in October, 1898, when he
shot two bucks, the allotted number for a
single hunter then, within FIVE minutes
time and not more than 10 minutes walk
from the village. One day last week his
unerring aim brought down a buck on the
road from Ludlow TO Healdville, and it is
said to be the largest animal ever brought
into Ludlow, weighing about 800 pounds.
Several other Ludlow men were successful
in getting deer during the open season, in
Guiding Elmer and Oscar Spafford, John
and Myron Dix, and Ernest Horton.

Prorrns. in china.

The China news is practically a commit
tee report Of progress. The state depart
ment learns that the Pekin diplomatic corps
has come to an agreement on several points,
notably on the issue Of punishments to be
inflicted. This is satisfactory 80 far as IL
goes. Once the Powers program is COM
plete, China will have small chance to do
anything but submit gracefully. The next
opportunity for hitch in the diplomatic
corps's caucussing seems likely TO come in
settling the indemnity question, not so
much the amount to be demanded as the
way it shall be financed. The imperial
customs and the likin, or internal revenue,
are the main sources of China's income,
and the latter is shrunken to insignificant
proportions by the time it has passed
through the sticky fingers of the horde of
officials which stands between the taxed
and the imperial Golfers. 1t had been pro-
posed that the imperial customs be doubled,
but this is met with the objection that IL
will tax the worlds commerce to pay
China's debts.
Pretoria dispatches Of Oct. 81 speak
with great detail of Lord Roberts de-
parture from Pretoria as the start of his
return to England, and say the command
has already devolved upon Kitchener.
Roberts is in Johannesburg, where his
daughter is said to be suffering from en-
teric fever, and his journey home would
doubtless be delayed at that point by her
illness.
Charles Davis, 80, shot and killed his
wife in Portland, Me-, Monday, and then
fired bullet into his own head but not in
ficting a fatal wound. The couple had
QUAR- eled, but the cause of their differences
is not known.
Alexander Winton and T. @. Collins ar
rived in New York city from Cleveland,
Ohio, Sunday night, having made run Of
500 miles in their automobile in 3S 1-2
hours. The roads were muddy a large
part of the distance.
Thomas F. Brown, 10, is dead from in
juries received while being hazed at the
Porter Military Academy, South Carolina,
last Monday. Brown was dropped into a
cemeuted swimming basin 10 feet deep.
The basin was dry and the lad received
fatal internal injuries. He refused to give
the names of his tormentors, and it is said
no action will BE- taken.
Thirteen men were killed by an explo-
sion in the coal mine at Berrysburg near
Philppi, West Va, Saturday. The cause
OF the explosion has not been determined
definitely, but it is known that there were
IL cans of powder and 10 sticks of dyna-
mite in the mine at the time. Some Of the
men who escaped claim that gas collected
and that the explosion would not have oc-
CURED had the fans been in operation.

III Deer Killed I'm Vermont I'm Ten
Days.

The records compiled by John w. Tit.
comb of st. Johnsbury, state fish and game
commissioner, show that Ill deer were
killed in Vermont in the ten days of open
hunting season ending Nov. /, divided by
counties as follows: Addison 8, Bennington
o, Caledonia 4, Chittenden 1, Essex 1,
Franklin 1, Lamoille 1, Orange 8, Orleans
4, Rutland SO, Washington 4, Windham 1,
Windsor 40. In 1893 the open season con-
sisted of the entire month of October,
when 100 deer were killed. In 1890 the
season lasted 10 days, and 90 were report
ed killed. As in previous years the larg-
est number reported were from Rutland
and Windsor counties. This report will
doubtless be added to later by returns
from some of the back towns.

Every store in jackson Centre, Ohio,
was plundered, the safe of the Farmers
and Merchants bank blown open, the bank
building wrecked, and $1,000 in cash taken
from the vault by a band of burglars Fri
day night. The citizens were awakened
by a report that shook the buildings, and
those who ventured into the street were
driven back by shots from the robbers.
Finally the robbers ran to the Ohio South
ern railroad tracks, where they secured q
hand car, on which they escaped toward
Lima. There were probably six or eight
men in the gang. The total value of the
booty which they secured was not less than
$4,000. 1t is believed that the men were
the ones who took possession of Roundhead
and East Liberty recently.

The Photograph, which is being put
to such effective use in South Africa
by both Briton and Boer, is mod
ern adoption of one of the oldest
forms of signalling apparatus known
to military science. Heliographing,
as the name implies, is suntelegraph-
ing, and General Whites signal. men
in despatchng news from solely pres
sed Ladysmith are using the same
device, only in more perfected form,
that the wicked small boy with bit
OF "looking-glass" in his grimy fist
employs to attract the attention of
his fellows across the schoolroom by
flashing the sun in their eyes. Mir
ror-signalling was early used by the
North American Indians, and is in no
doubt partially responsible for the
marvelously rapid dissemination of
news on the plains noted by many
American army officers in our Indian
wars.

BY Products of the Farm.

Farmers are wont. when they figure
up their profits at the end of the year,
to give in their dairy account no cred
it for the by products of the farm.
What are the by products in the
manufacture of butter? What. but
the pigs and barnyard manure.
A farmer will argue something like
this: 81 get in cash from the cream
cry about enough to pay for my hay
and grain at the market price. |
could have sold the hay and grain for
the same amount and not worked
very much"
Another says: cat the end of the
month after I pay my gram bill
haven't much of anything left"
Brothers, you are wrong You have
those by products still. If you keep
ten COWS in one year you have prob
ably raised and sold at least ten large
hogs of about two-tifty weight alive
(and none should be kept to weigh
more). They have brought you in
from $75 to 800. So much for the
product of the pigs.
Now, in regard to the other, man.
uro. If the farmer buys in the mar
kets and feeds bran and cotton seed
meal, and at the end of the month
pays all his butter cash out to pay for
them he is only just out even.
Wrong again Brother farmer. If
you pay out in six months at the rate
or $50 per month for these feeds, or
Sl2o for the time fed, you have left in
your manure pile potash, lime and
nitrogen worth at least 800, For
every dollars worth purchased you
nave chemicals left to the value of
almost 75c, chemicals which Won
would buy in commercial fertilizers at
more than that figure.
Your COWS will void at least 200
loads OF manure, which if properly
cared for, will be worth to your farm
$500. The farmer then has for the
winter feeding season the price his
hay would have brought in town plus
$500 in by products, without which
his farm would soon become a barren
waste. In some future number I
Will give you a Vermont farmers way

Here is late swindlc, one that
may profit the farmers to keep an
eye open for: A farmer-looking fell
low will call having samples of corn.
The ears will be from five to eight
times the size of ordinary ears of corn,
which he alleges he raised from seed
sent him by.his brother, who is engag-
ed in farming in a distant land. He
offers to sell one hundred grains for
twenty-five cents or the whole ear
for two dollars. The victim buys only
to find out it is nothing but ordinary
corn. A number of ears of corn are
dexterously cut and the sections are
glued together to form one large ear.
If the Swindler comes, boot him off
the premises.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
The Drift of Politics as Reflected BY
the Newspapers of the State.

This story about the Bellows Falls
gathering is probably fake but it
will serve to remind the people of
Washington county of the time
when Hon. Frank Plumley of North
field was a member of the legislature.
His proclivity to talk at all times on
all subjects, gained him the sobriquet
of the "talking terror of the Dog
river valley" and the other members
of the legislature frequently discussed
the ACCESSIBILITY of hiring hall to
allow him to talk when he wished to
without interfering with the state
business.
The above brilliant editorial appeared
in the Barre Times last evening. The
story of Mr.. Statford's endeavors to
get before Bellows Falls audience
by hiring hall, as published in the
News some weeks ago, is true. The
Times knows that if it had not been
1t would have denied the story "from
an authoritive source long since.
The Times reference to Mr.. Plumley's
legislative record is probably con.
as something humorous by it's
editor. We believe, however. that
Mr. Plumley once received the dis
OF being called the "talkinp
terror, etc. by democrat who was
unable to answer his strong plea for
the Republican cause in memorable
campaign. With this fact before
nm perhaps the Times editor can use
he quotation with greater pleasure.

Barre, Vermont's Granite City, re-
ports another record breaker for the
year past in house building. Inc
time is not far distant when Barre
and Montpelier will be more closely
united as far as building goes-but
never, we fear, in brotherly and SIS
terly way.-Waterbury Record.
The Rutland News says: "The
Burlington Earth shows concluslvely
that it is not bowling down to the fet-
ish of Railroad Domination when it
saws: The Rutland News is urging
tbe name of Hon. G. j. Bell for gov
ernor. whereat the Free Press inslnu-
ates that the News is making long
reach for candidate, but the Free
Press may not be cognizant OF the
fact that Mr.. Bell is the head Of the
large and hourishing order of grang-
ers of this state, and is as well known
in Rutland, Bennington and Wind
ham counties as he is in the northern
part OF the state. Mr. Bell is not
only a possible candidate, but he
would make an excellent governor il
he should be elected. ,"
With only three or four candidates
the Second district seems to monopo-
lie all the specch-making ability OF
this campaign. "Mr. Plumley enjoys
an extensive reputation as a polished
and entertaining speaker, says one
contemporary, while young Mr.. Stat
ford S claims to recognition rest on the
same secure foundation. What would
either do without a hall?-WoOdstock
Age.
Mr.. Plumley S candidacy is not based
on his oratorical ability, although, as
is well known, he is an able speaker
who always commands the attention
of the most critical audience. MOL es-
teemed neighbor, Mr.. Plumley will
not need to depend upon hall in the
coming campaign. Northteld News.
The st. Johnsbury Republican says:
"The Woodstock Age, democratic,
sees a rift in the cloud because in
p-haZard street canvass in it's town
recently more Dillingham; men than
Grout men were found. The straw
proves nothing of the kind. 1t sim
ply shows what We have been preach
ing all the time, that the Grout men
are not standing around on the street
corners freezing their noses and chill
ing their toes waiting to be counted.
They are in the shops and on the
farms attending to their own bust
ness. They'll be ready, however,
when the time comes to vote. The
Dillingham; boomers should remember
that straw votes, to indicate the true
direction of the wind, should not be
subjected to a too vigorous osteo-
pathic treatment
