HOLYOKE STILL UNBEATEN.
Team with Record of Three Years OF
Victories Downs BrattlebOrO.

Score Was IO-s---Numerous Interrupt
tiOns, and Rt Times Ihs Appearance or
Chewing Match.
Defeat came to the Brattleboro Y. NJ. c.
A. basket ball team at the armory last even
ing at the hands of the Holyoke, Mass,
High school team, the score being 1913. The
game resembIed foot ball much more than
it did basket ball, and in the second half
looked more like a chewing match than
anything else. The numerous Interrupt
tions necessary TO settle the disputes which
were continually arising over the decisions
of the officials took away much of the en-
joyment which comes from watching an
exciting contest. Although there is little
doubt that Holyoke is the superior team,
taking everything into consideration, the
result of the game would have been diff
ferent had fouls been called when they
should have been. There were numerous
occasions when Holyoke man hal both
hands wound tightly around the waist of
his opponent, but at these times the eyes
of the officials seemed to be everywhere ex-
cept on the offender. Fouls are made in
in every contest which are not seen by the
umpres, but it is none the less the duty of
an official to penalize every breach of rules

Howe and Allen each secured basket
in the first half before the visitors began
to score, but at the end of the half Hol-
yoke had secured six points to the home
team four. In the second period of play
| HOlyoke added one goal from the field and
two goals from fouls to its score, while
Brattleboro had to be content with three
points secured from fouls of their oppo-
nents. At times the Massachusetts, boys
gave exhibitions of beautiful passing, but
their strong point was defensive work.
Brattleboro was weakened by the absence
of Corser and Plimpton as guards, although
Monroe and Ferriter both did creditably.

FaIaI Fire at Lowell.

One life was lost, one fireman injured
and several overcome by smoke in fire at
Lowell yesterday in which Marln's block, a
five-story structure was destroyed. Mrs.
Bridget Grady, As, perished. The Lowell
pharmacy and Joseph Marin's furniture
store on the ground floor were total losses.
The building was owned by Joseph Marin,
and was valued at SAC, 900, partly insured.
The upper floors were occupied as offices
and lodging-rooms. The total loss is about
100000. Fireman Thomas Rogers fell
from the third story to the ground floor.
He will recover. Several firemen were
overcome by smoke. There we're about 20
persons in the upper stories when the fire
broke out, and the flames spread so rapidly
that they had barely time to escape with
what clothes they had on.

Manufacturers increased their exports
in 1899, % per cent over 1898, and the
grand total of $50 million in manufactures
exported during the year seems likely TO
touch the 400 million mark in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1900. Beginning
with $25, ,sOG,s7O in January 1890, the
figures grew steadily, until December
showed S35, ,652, ,053, December and March
of 1899 showing larger expectations of
manufactures than those OF any preced-
ing month in our history. Not only are
the exports of manufactures in 1899 the
largest in any year in our history, but
they form larger percentage of our total
exports than those of any preceding year,
the percentage being for the calendar year
1899, so per cent, for 1898 249 per cent
and for 1897 25.9.

L. F. Fortney of Plainfeld writes the
Barre Times an extended letter in regard
to the political record of the aspiring pro-
bationer from st. Johnsbury, in which he
says: ''If the writer, like many other
voters, is mistaken in his belief that Mr..
Stafford did not support the national Re
publican tickets, either in 1884, 1888 or
1892, no better time could be chosen for
setting the Republican voters of the dis
trict right in the matter than now" The
man who "burned his bridges" when he
left the Republican party probably will not
wish to star in "Face to Face" drama.

Paying for Gable Dewey Cut.

During the siege of Manila Admiral
Dewey, as he had perfect right to do, cut
a cable belonging to private English cor
poratiOn. Now our government proposes
to pay that company. Congressman Moody
very properly made an attack on this,
showing at the same time how the legal
claims of our citizens against Great Brit
ain are fiouted and scoffed at and treated
wi ,h utter contempt. But Moody inti-
mated that perhaps we had better pay this
British company on account Of "the events

Cushlng Academy Defeated a4-1I.

Cushing Academy met defeat at the
hands of the Y. M. G. A. basket ball team
Tuesday evening in the armory, the score
being PAIL at the end of the second half.
Brattleboro did not have its Strongest team
on the floor, Plimpton and Corser, the two
regular guards, being unable to play.
Their places were we'll filled by Monroe
and Ferriter, both of whom have been
showing up strongly in recent practice.
AS usual Brattleboro exeelled in general
team work and won the game by clever
passing and strong defensive play. Allen
got on the good side of the crowd by max
ing several of his backward goals, and
Howe and Adams won applause for their
long shots. The Cushing Academy boys
were defeated Monday night at Vermont
Academy. The lineup:

WASHINGTON, d. c., March B.
Fifty tons of candy have been sent to

The commissary department of the

large amounts to the soldiers in Cuba
end Puerto Rico. This is done upon
the advice of the medical as we'll as
line officers of the army, because it is
physiological fact that in the tropics
moderate consumption of confection-
cry promotes health and satisfies
natural and not unhealthful craving of
the stomach. Candy was never fur
nished to the United States army be-
fore, although it is commonly used as
ration by the British and French
troops in the tropics
The larger part of the shipment are
chocolate creams and lemon and other
calculated drops which are hermetical-
~ sealed in one-pouud tins of-eval
shape to fit the pocket of a soldiers
uniform. The candy is manufactured
in New York especially for the COM
missary department and is little more
than sugar and lemon or lime Juice.
The mixture of sweets and acids in
that form is not only more grateful to
the palate but healthful to the stomach.

/ WAS BEFORE THE WAR
CHRISTENING OF THE STEAMER
BLOEMFONTEIN.
Making a Record for Rapid Work in
Discharging Seattle Quarantine
Stricter Than San Francisco.

The steamer Bloemfontein, which
brought three thousand tons of general
freight from Seattle, is making a rec
ord for rapid discharging, at the Irnl-
gard wharf. She was locked at the
wharf on Thursday afternoon and will
be about empty tonight. The steamer
has put ashore between eight hundred
and a thousand tons a day, which is
about as well as she could do on the
coast, without night work, and she has
not worked at night here. On Monday
morning she will begin her twenty four
hours fumigation and on Tuesday she
will start back for Seattle. McCabe,
Renney G. Hamilton are doing the work
for her.
The Bloemfontein was named after
the capital of the Orange Free State,
with about nine other steamers like
her, owned by the British Colonial
Steam Navigation Company The same
company has a number of others, even
larger than the Bloemfontefn. The
christening was done before Paul
Kruger and President Steyn made an
alliance. British steamers are not be-
ing named after Orange Free State
cities now.
The big steamer is under charter to
the Seattle company for one year, dur
ing which she will come here regularly
and after which she may go back into
the South African trade.
The experience of the Bloemfontein
shows that Seattle is more strict in her
quarantine than San Francisco. At
Port Townsend the steamer is held in
quarantine long enough to make fifteen
days since her leaving here, and very
thorough fumigation of everything, in
Guiding all the clothes of those on
board, is required.
Purser Bryan, who has been on the
vessel since she has been coming here.
will be missed here the next time she
comes, as he intends to leave the
steamer when she gets back to Seattle.

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

Is there any connection between the
two statements recently made by our
consul at Prague that throughout
Austria there is 4 prevalent tendency
towards trusts, entering into every
branch of industry-one of the latest
being trust of paper manufacturers
which has resulted in Il rise of % per
cent. on the cost of paper-and Ii tariff
policy strongly protective" in force
throughout the empire, absolutely
prohibitory as to some articles?" In
England trusts are an unconsidered
quantity. Trade is free, and the baby
act is no longer in force to protect
giant industries and combinations of
capital. Trusts are but the ever
springing heads of the monstrous
hydra protection, and laws directed
against them will avail no more than
the sword of Hercules. They will
spring up with redoubled force wher-
ever Topped, but if the hot iron of
free trade be applied to the yelling
up of poisonous and pernicious blood
there will be an end of the evil for
ever.
Austria is by no means alone as an
example OF high-tariff monopolies.
From France, also, comes the cry of
oppression from trusts and France also
has very high tariff, limited only by
the irritating octroi between depart
ments and provinces, exacting its trib-
ute from every passer-by. A high tar
if is always the enemy of free compe-
tftion and wherever it prevails and
is vigorous in force, combinations of
capital In production, like those which
We call trusts, will be sure to make
their appearance to the detrimsDt OF
the peoples interest. High tariff aud
trusts are twin monsters.

HONEY AND WEALTH.

A new and valuable contribution to
economic literature entitled Effect
of Recent Changes In the Monetary
Standards Upon the Distribution of
Wealth." is offered by Mr.. Francis S.
Kinder, Of Denver, Colorado.
This book, which is distinctly ia
vorable to silver, has been issued by
the American Economic Association,
which has headquarters. at Cornell
university and is the leading society
of political economists in America, in.
Guiding also in its membership most
of the prominent economists of Eu-
rope, which fact gives the book high
prestige as scientific work.
The volume deals first with the
great fall Of prices after 1878, and the
first chapter brings to light some new
statistics, showing that the production
OF most of the leading commodities,
such as iron, coal, cotton, wool and
wheat, did not increase as fast dur.
ing 1885 as in the proceeding period
Of rising prices, which disposes effect
ually of the claim that the fall of
prices after 1878 was due to "overpro-
duction." Another fact brought out
is that freight rates on the great rail
roads were reduced more rapidly be-
fore 1878 than after. Thus it is proven
that the cheapening of the Transports
ton was not, as has been 80 often
claimed, a chief cause of the change
in prices. On the other hand, the
work brings out with clearness the
great monetary causes at work.
Part ii. deals with the effects of
price changes upon interest, profits
and wages. Data collected from the
United States census show that the
growing burden of farm debts under
falling prices was not offset by low in
terest rates. The work deals at length
with the question whether rising or
falling prices are the more favorable
to the wage-earner. The tendency of
falling prices to cause slack employ
ment Of labor is strikingly brought
out by a comparison between 1S60-73,
