80 North Main street about s o'clock We'd
nesday morning after a short illness with
pneumonia. Mr.. Gregg had been in ill

foundry business in California. he came
to Brattleboro from Ludlow and leased the
Machine shop, and afterward leased the
foundry which formerly stood on the pres
ent site of Holden & Martins factory on
Frost street. Mr.. Gregg built the house
on Oak street where E. B.. Barrows now
lives, and later built the residence on North
Main street. He was at one time engaged
in the plumbing business in a shop in the

scientious citizen and a loyal worker for
good. He united with the Congregational
church in Ludlow, and at one time was
president of the Young Mems Christian
association in that town. He married
Miss Clara Powers of Lunenburg, who
survives with one daughter, Miss Jessie

Among all the oriental nations the Chi
nese have the palm for multiplicity Of re-
ligions and Of gods. There are no fewer
than four creeds In hina-Confucianism,
Taoism, Buddhism and Mohammedan-
ism. The writings Of Confucius are the
source whence the officials and literati
derive their theories of government and
social duties. The doctrines taught by
their most holy sage" are cited as the
infallible criterion Of uprightness and in
tegrity in public and private life and
were disseminated several centuries be-
fore the coming of Christ.
Taoism, the second form of religious
faith malpractice, originated with the phi
losopher Lao-tsze in the century when
the Jews returned from Babylon Its
ancient classic, the Tao-teh-king, comes
nearer TO the philosophy of our Old
Testament teachings than any other book
In the world. Had this system remained
In its original purity it would have served
as an excellent basis for Christianity.
The worship Of Amida Buddha, with
the Goddess OF Mercy, is prevalent, while
temples and monasteries, priests and
nuns are to be found everywhere. The
western paradise, the Buddhist bells, the
TRANSPORTATION of souls, the vegetarian
diet, the doctrines Of Karma and Nirvana
and the worship Of the goddess Kwan-
yin, who has power to save and to bestow
sons upon her votaries, are all so firmly
ingrafted on the ordinary Chinese mind
that II seems impossible that they should
be modified, much less effaced, by the
teachings Of Christianity.
Although opposed to the main features
Of Christianity, the Mohammedan faith

Success OF J. L. Howard, Teacher OF
PenmanshlP.

j. L. Howard, formerly teacher of pen
manship in the public schools in Brattle-
boro, met with great success recently in
his appearance at Norristown, Pa, before
1900 school teachers, who attended the
Morgan county institute. The NorristoWn
Daily Herald of Nov. said:
Prof. Howard occupied the first period
with another of his interesting talks on
writing. He dwelt on teaching movements
in writing in the sixth, seventh, eighth
and ninth grades. His instruction is given
as if in the class room. He said lone
thing at time" in writing is just as es-
sential as in anything else.
Prof. Howard, on Thursday afternoon,
spoke at length upon the proper methods
of penmanship for the child. The popul-
arity of Prof. Howard as lecturer was
shown at the morning session. He came
upon the platform an entire stranger to
the institute, being sent by Miss Annie
Hill, who had promised to talk on penman-
ship, but being unable to fulfill her en-
gagement, sent Mr.. Howard as an able
substitute. He occupied the first period,
and so pleased were his auditors with his
method of teaching the roundhand with
semi-slant that they made a request that
he occupy the last period of the morning
session as we'll. Superintendent Hoffeck.
er granted the request of the teachers and
Prof Howard very courteOusly complied.
His announcement in the afternoon to con-
tinue his writing discourse was greeted
with rounds of applause. Prof Howard
is penmanship instructor in the public
schools of Maiden, Mass, which position
he has held for half dozen years. He
had with him bulk of wonderful speci-
mems of penmanship executed by pupils of
Maiden schools.
The Maiden, Mass, Evening News of
Oct. 25, said: Mr.. John l. Howard, super
visor of penmanship in the Maiden schools,
has been engaged TO speak OH ''Penman-
ship" at the Montgomery County Teach
ers' institute at the Opera House, in Nor
rlstown, Penn, Nov and 2. They knew
at Norristown where to find the right man,
for upon this subject there are few more
competent to speak than Mr.. Howard.

A college student visited Philadelphia
photographer the other day and sat for his
picture. When the plate was developed
the astonished photographer saw plainly
on the young mans forehead clearly de-
fined deaths head with crossbones beneath
1t. Thinking it was some imperfection in
the plate, the photographer arranged an.
other sitting. Again the skull and cross
bones appeared in the picture, and the
mystihed photographer was fairly struck
dumb with amazement. Then he noticed
the smiling sitter and finally induced him
to Tell the joke. The trick simply con-
sisted of painting on the forehead the grim
design with a solution of bisulphate of
quinine. This is invisible to the eye, but
shows pure white to the camera.

THREE BUSINESS CHANGES.

M. j. Moran and d. p. Dewitt Bought
Their Partners InteTests---BrOOl1s
House Hack and Coupe Line Sold to
Frank DunkIes.
Three important business changes took
place in Brattleboro Saturday and Monday,
making new proprietorships in the furni-
ture and undertaking business of Hackley
& Moran, the wholesale grocery business
Of Blodgett g. Dewitt, and the Brooks
House hack and coupe business. Pos
session has been given in each transaction
and the business will be continued without
interruption.
M. j. Moran bought the interest of his
partner, II. II. Hackley, in the furniture
and undertaking business Saturday, and
he will change the firm name to NJ. j. Mo-
ran & Co. David j. Shaw, who has been
with Hackley & Moran in the undertaking
business, will remain with Mr.. Moran in
the same capacity. Mr.. Hackley and Mr..
Moran started in the furniture business
March 1, 1893, in the Vinton building at
the corner of Main and Canal streets, and
they learned the undertaking business the
same year. Their business increased rap
idly, and year ago, feeling the need of
more room, they moved to the new UlleTy

debts of the firm and will collect the ac-
counts.
d. P. Dewitt, junior partner of the firm
of Blodgett & Dewitt, wholesale grocers,
bought the interest of his partner, <. W.
Blodgett, Monday, taking the accounts and
everything connected with the business.
He will retain the firm name. Mr.. Blodg-
EFT will retire from active business pursuits
for the present Blodgett & DeWitts first
store was in the north store of the build
ing of Emerson & Son, where they began
II years ago last July. Two years later
they moved into Crosby & Co.'s ware
house near the railroad, where they have
been ever since. For the past six years
they have been the only wholesale grocery
concern in Brattleboro, and they have
built up large trade covering Windham
county, southern Windsor county, and
nearby towns in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire. Mr.. Dewitt is young bust
ness man of ability and is well equipped
to conduct the business alone.
A. T. Cobb sold the Brooks House hack
and coupe business Monday to Frank
Dunklee, who has been employed in j. F.
RandolPs needle factory. The sale was
made through A. V. Mays real estate
agency. Mr.. Cobb bought the business
last December of j. o. Smith, now of
Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Smith was in
Brattleboro Saturday and made Mr.. Cobb
an offer for the property.

Vernon Man shot 100 snu,rrsls.

Squirrels are not so scarce as midday
hunters report. 1t takes rustler not to
find them. Those who tread the light
footstep on dewy leaves are buying am
munition. Several young hunters count
their grays by the score. William Clogs

tain and vicinity. One of our sportiVe cit

up to rs since the season opened. Mr..
Stoddard of Huckle hill, Vernon, is credit
ed with nearly $50, taken partly from
Bernardston forests. As to the best hunt
ing hour opinions vary concerning the rela-
tive merits of sunrise and sunset, but there
is a notion going that squirrels are usually
more off guard on the seventh day, and
while still hunting takes its dozens the
man with a well-trained dog reports his
scores.-[ Bernardston correspondence In

THE LOCAL MARKET.
BrattlebOrO Prices Current.

New Corn Crop RespOnsIbIe for a De
cline In Corn SIeAI---sIIght Advance
in Cheess--APPIe and Potato Market.
The effect Of the new crop of corn is
seen in the local market prices this week,
corn meal having dropped FIVE cents hun
dred. 1t is reasonable to expect a still
further drop in the course of few weeks.
Cheese, which has held firm at 10 cents
for some time, has advanced one cent
pound, the wholesale price having been
constantly creeping up. Otherwise there
is no change TO report from last week.
The continued decline in wheat has not yet
affected the -four market. Apples and po-
tatoes have probably reached their lowest
point this season, although many farmers
are delivering apples at figure lower than
that quoted in this column. The local
supply of potatoes, that is, those raised in
Brattleboro, is getting low, and a large
proportion Of the potatoes retailed from
the local stores comes in over the Brattle-
boro e. Whitehall railroad.
