He was born in Syracuse, N. Y, July 9,

Additions at the Museum.

The Museum has recently added to its
collections several articles of interest. OF
which the most noteworthy are in the
chronological department. There is an
especially interesting collection of butter
flies illustrating protective mimicry.
Some of these resemble leaves, sticks or
bark so perfectly as to be absolutely con-
cealed when resting among them; Others
show two different species of butterflies
which look so much alike that they seem
the same variety, but they are proved to
belong to different genera, of which the
first is protected from it's enemies by
disagreeable juices which its body con-
talns, while the second. by it's close re-
semblance to the first, is also protected,
though possessing no such bad qualities
One OF these curious butterflies resemble
an owl. Another is marked like A spi-
ders web and still another like a cobra's
head. They are all mounted in a new
form OF plaster tablet patented by the
Denton Bros. of Wellesley, Mass.
Besides these there is a representation
OF the life history of the May beetle or
: June bug" which shows the larvae feed
ing on the roots of grass, and the full
grown beetles emerging to the surface of
the ground. A collection of honey bees
shows the queen drone and worker, also
the various kinds of cells. honey, wax,
etc.
In another part of the Museum there is
meteoric stone, picked up on the top of
A mountain in Cornish, N H., and pre-
ented by F. A. Tiff, formerly of this
place. Although not large stone, its
weight is 1412 pounds, showing the
arge percentage of nickel in it's compos-
ton. The surface is furrowed and
CARED, showing how it must at one
lme have been in melted state.

Whistler's First Etching,

A diverting anecdote is told of the boy.
hood OF Mr.. Whistler, the greatest mod
ern impressionist. He was apprenticed
to some engineers who were etching some
elaborate maps on copper. One day his
employer asked him if he also could etch
maps on copper. ooh, yes! can etch,"
promptly answered young Whistler. AS
a matter of fact he had never used an
etching needle in his life. However, they
gave him the copper and he set to work,
making a very fine and beautiful map.
But round the edges, which, when bitten
IN with acid, are always stopped out, he
etched some characteristic sketches of
the different members of the firm, includ-
ing very humorous one of the chief him

Meantime the plate had been bitten in
and printed with all the dreadful little
carlcatures that he had forgotten to stop
out appearing in startling prominence,

markable because of it's great resem-
blance to that gentlemen, who was so en-

A Deserved Recognition.

Miss Helen Sinclair Patterson's arts
and crafts exhibition at the Athenaum
few weeks ago attracted much attention
and gave st. Johnsbury people the first
general idea of the accomplishments of
this talented young artist in her profess
sion. Those who visited that exhibit
will not be surprised to learn that Miss
Patterson has just achieved a distinct
triumph in the pupil ofdecorative art, her
design for the cover of their annual
Christmas catalogue having been ac-
cepted by Charles Scribner's Sons.
The Messrs. Scribner are the acknowl-
edged leaders among American publish
ers In things pertaining to this branch of
art, and to have work accepted by them
is distinct tribute to artistic originality
and ability.
The cover of this catalogue has for the
past three years been designed by Max
field Parrish who is one of the best
known of our American decorative
artists. This success gives Miss Patter-
son a recognized place in the world of
art and the news of her latest success
Will be received with pleasure by her
many friends.

Millinery Openings.

AS announced last week there were
millinery openings held at the stores of
Mrs. E. M. Roberts and Miss Lucy
French. where many handsome hats were
shown, but we have not space for more
than passing notice of the many at
tractive designs for the present seasons
millinery.
Among the New York pattern hats
seen at Mrs. Roberts was large picture
hat of black velvet with white silk and
gilt braid facing crown of gold and
white; the trimming, several large
black plumes. An odd conceit on an
other black velvet hat was the rose
crown was entirely covered with large.
fully-opened flower. This hat displayed
the large Amazon plumes. An elegant
fur trimmed turban composed of rich lace,
velvet and gilt attracted much attention
and MANY Others we'll worthy of note.
also some stylish bonnets were shown.
Among the novelties of the season are
seen square English turbans, black hats
refined and elegant, ornamented with
plumes and the large square buckles, the
gilt WEDDINGS, wings, pins, velvet flowers
and rich foliage all deserve appreciation.
Crystal velour is new trimming mater
ial very dainty in effect. The mushroom
hat, which is of velvet in various tucks
and layers, is novelty in the millinery
line which needs to he seen rather +ba,,
described. The Paul Jones is also new
shape trimmed severely with gilt braid
and military pompon makes a very
neat hat. Gilt braids and cheneille cords
ornament many hats in very attractive
style. The trimmings on the hats this
season are noticeably low. which is a
marked change in arrangement.
Miss Ella Williamson will have her mil
linery opening this week Thursday and
Friday, to which the ladies are cordially
invited.
Mrs. H. B. Gordon has her display of
trimmed hats today and tomorrow and
her regular opening October II and IS.
Miss Jennie Miller announces her OPEN
ing on October II and 13.
The ladies will be interested to know
that the annual fall millinery opening at
Mrs. +. F. Carpenters store on Eastern
avenue comes on Thursday and Friday
OF this week. A fine display of French
patterns will be shown al this time.

Railroad News.

The winter time table on all the divi-
sions of the Boston & Maine went into
effect last Monday and the new time is
given elsewhere in this paper.
The Boston & Maine is following in
the lead of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford road in the acquisition of cleo
trio roads that parallel its tracks. In
addition to operating an electric road of
16 miles in Portsmouth. n H., it has
now asked for authority to build an
electric road between Nashua and Con
cord, N. H., distance of SO miles.
A new arrangement between the Bos-
ton & Maine and the Grand Trunk Rail-
road companies went into effect Mon
day, making White River Junction the
northern terminus of the Connecticut
river division instead of Windsor. Many
tralnmen who have been living in Brat
tleboro will now move to White River
Junction and the Phenix says the change
means loss of $4,000 to that town.
1t is understood that Windsor will suffer
severely by the change, the many rail
road men who live there going to White
River Junction.

Accident at Stanstead.

One of the worst accidents that ever
occurred on the Passumpsic division of
the Boston & Maine happened between
Beebe Plain and Stanstead last Wednes-
day afternoon.
The spur train due at Newport from
Stanstead at 8 so in the afternoon with
Engineer Dennison, Fireman Kimball and
Conductor Fred Stevens made head on
collision with the hel per with Walter
Huntington engineer and Archie Bow
ker fireman. Bowker was killed instant

Huntington was badly burned on face,
and shoulder was seriously injured. Dem
nlson was badly hurt and so was his fire.
man, .klmball whose seal p was torn from
his head and rib was driven into his
lungs. Conductor Stevens was pulled
out from beneath the tender, which teles.
COPIED his car, and was considerably in
lured. Twelve passengers were in the
front part of the car, the rear part being
used for baggage. Almost all the pas
sengers were hurt and it is a wonder
that none of them were killed. The two
engines were completely demolished and
the tender OF the spur train was driven
halt way into the passenger car, pinning
one passenger to his seat so securely that
he could not move leg or an arm until
jack screws had lifted the tender away
from the car. There were other escapes
almost as miraculous. The engines were
completely demolished as both were GO
ing at good speed. The injured were
brought to Newport that night and the
the inquest held on Wednesday evening.
