Charles H. Warehouse, head of the
dairying department of the New Hampshire
college of agriculture and the mechanic
arts, and the most distinguished member
of the dairying profession in this country,
died Saturday evening after long illness
with cancer. Mr.. Waterhouse was known
in the farming districts throughout the
country, and it is said that he had won more
first prizes for excellence in the mannfac-
ture of dairy products than any other man

butter, taken from his ordinary work,
won for him the gold medal and diploma
at the Columbian exposition. He estab-
lished the first creamery in New Hampshire.

The six masted schooner which has Just
been launched at Camden, Me-, is an ex-
pertinent, and there are good authorities
who think it will not prove successful.
They fear that with so many masts, in
VolVing a corresponding multiplicity of
sails, the vessel will not have the power in
dictated by her sail area; that the after
sails will "blanket" the forward ones, and,
by shutting of the wind from them will
render them practically useless. If this
should be the case, the great vessel will be
her possible sail power to propel her enor-
nous bulk. But If this difficulty shall
prove to be more theoretical than practical,
the George w. Wells, for that is the name
of the schooner, is likely to be great sue
cess, for she will be able to carry an
enormous cargo at comparatively small
cost,

"The present epidemic of cholera, says
the Simla correspondent of the London
Daily Mail, "is one of the worst outbreaks

play compared with it. The natives are

The epidemic is undoubtedly due to the pol

Gov. smith Fnvors Old Home Week.

The suggestion that Vermont follow the
lead of Maine and New Hampshire in hold
ing an old home week is looked upon ia
vorably by Gov. Smith. Vermont's popu-
lation holds stationary largely because her
sons and daughters have sought their for
tunes outside the state. All of these native
Nermonters would be glad to come back TO
participate in the old home celebration.
Gov. Smith says: The matter has never
been brought TO my official attention but
have been watching the successes in New
Hampshire especially, and the experimental
stage is passed. favor most heartily the
idea, and every loyal Nermonter will help
make it a success | should think the state
would do well to appropriate reasonable
amount to make old home week effective.
| have never attended any Of these gather
ings, but ! should think it would be we'll u
have general plan in every county, with
the more elaborate celebrations in the
larger towns and cities. The smaller towns
could join and yet have home reunion OF
their own. 1t is pretty late to have one
this year, q sufficient notice could hardly
be sent to distant Nermonters. Next year

happy old home week"

that the reinstatement of the young man

Follow Her Own Precedent.

Chicago, Dec 14.-In regard to the
controversy over the meaning OF the So
called amendment to the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. Mr.. H. H. kohlsaat, edltor
of the Times Herald, today makes pup'
lie private letter he received from
the late Senator Cushman n. DAVIS.
The letter bears date, Committee on
Foreign Relations. United States SEN
ate WASHINGTON. d. c.. March L. l9oo,
and is in part as follows:
THE amendment has this special ad-
vantage, that it was phrased as neafl!
as possible in the language or the tehth
article of the treaty Oh ConstantlnoPle.
Therefore this amendment so ADJUSTED
to the treaty of Constantinople, puts the
British government in the position
where it must either accept the p1nelple
of the treaty of Constantinople, which
Great Britain herself proposed, or fatty
saw that the lines of that treay. which
are of ADVANTAGE to Great Britain. shall
stand. or shall be obiterated from our
traatv If the committee had framed
their amendment on different lines, or
in different terms Great Britain could
have said that we repudiated the treaty
of Constantinople. My own object was
to hold her as close as possible to her
own precedents.

Compelled to mighty love by love as

But as late love with passion unto death,
