Careless Shooting.

Just before noon Saturday some per-
son shot bullet through the front door
of Wesley Motter's residence on Fifth
street. Had Mrs. Motter been in the
hall at the time 1t might have proven n
serious matter. Mr.. Motter has learned
that the shooting was done by a boy
who was after sparrows. This chap is
old enough to know that he is violating
the law by shooting in the borough.

Additional Stockholders.

Ferrin concerning the financial affairs
of the Star Glass Company. The names
of the gentlemen who became stock
holders in the glass company Monday
should certainly be a guarantee to our
people that the company is on solid
basis, AS the stockholders are all good
business men. There has been some
delay in getting the plant built and,
hence, the plant will not be in operation
as soon as was first expected.

Shall worm-EAten NAPLES He Tapped
This Spring.


This question is being asked so fire.
quently that the following opinion is given
in reply by the Vermont experiment sta
ton: Whether or not to tap will depend
upon circumstances Of which the sugar
maker is the best Judge. The sugar is the
reserve food of the tree stored last season
TO feed the buds the coming spring. The
amount Of sugar taken from an ordinary
maple tree by tapping is from two TO four
per cent Of its total sugar content. This
is so small fraction as usually 10 cause no
apprecable loss to the tree. But il the
tree has been so badly eaten by worms
during the past seasons as TO have its life
endangered, il might be undesirable to
make even this small drain which would
somewhat decrease the chances of life for
the tree.
1t should be remembered, however, that
all of the stored sugar was manufactured
in the green leaves last season. II those
leaves were eaten by the worms there
would be proportionately less sugar in the
sap, and in case the damage to the foliage
was really serious the sap will be of so low
quality as regards sugar content that it will
not pay 10 tap the trees. On the Other
hand If there is enough sugar present tC
make tapping profitable then there /:
enough SO that the removal Of the two tC
four per cent will not appreciably affect the
tree. 1t is believed that the safest way fol
one who is in doubt is to determine thu
quality of the sap from his trees, selecting
several representative trees and taking
samples from these before tapping the re
mainder. If the sap is Of good quality h
may safely tap. If it is of poor quality
that is, deficient in sugar, 1t will be both
unsafe and Improbable 10 tap.

mM.rlon and IN. Human stem.oh.

The surgeons Of the Johns Hopkins hos
pital in Baltimore had a remarkable stom-
ach case on Thursday. A young man was
placed on the operating table, and before
he had left it his stomach had been emp
tied, through the abdominal wall, Of these
articles of diet:
One pocket knife.
Two screw eyes.
One small staple.
Twenty-Five grains Of ground glass
Eleven pins
Forty-nine tacks.
Seventy-two nails, iron and wire, meas
uring from one TO one and one-half inches
in length.
Nineteen wire nails, four inches long,
with large heads.
Seven knife blades-one about three
quarters Of an inch wide.
Nine horseshoe nails four inches long.
Eight screws two and one.half inches
long.
Four brass watch chains, with catches
and stays.
Twelve and one-half feet Of three-eighths
inch iron chain.
The young man, Asthur Shut by name,
who will survive the experience, had
extreme difficulty, when he entered
the hospital, in persuading the surgeons
that his stomach carried any such load.
From the medical standpoint interest
centres entirely in the ability Of the hui
man stomach to carry such an extraordin-
airy burden, but Shuts own story pos
sesses exceptional qualities. He was an
amateur magician" and had considera-
BILE success owing 10 his cleverness in
palming. In his performances the young
man was foolish enough TO contend that
he made no use of coat sleeves or other
parts of his clothing in making objects
| disappear. Some medical students, before
whom he exhibited, doubling his alleged
supernatural power, proposed that he per
| form while stripped Of his clothing. Shut
madly assented. Brought to bay In the
nude, the magician found that he had
but one alternative to confessing that his
art was merely sleight-of-hand. That was
TO palm the objects handed him into his
mouth and swallow them. He chose the
alternative, and by skillful work succeeded
in swallowing the entire mass of junk
without affording the spectators the slight
| est suspicion of its whereabouts. He
gained their enthusiastic applause as be-
ing second Hermann. This was done q
week ago Saturday, and it is extraordinary
that Shut was not Inconvenience enough
by the stomachache to be driven TO the
hospital until the next Tuesday, and then
it took two days for him 10 convince the
| surgeons that they were not being imposed
upon. The articles were carried in his
stomach, therefore, five days.

Her Record of 2.Os 3-4 Was Never
EqusIIed Under the Same COndiIIOns--
Once Sold for $4,000.
Maud S., the famous trotter owned by
the Bonner estate, died at Port Chester, n.
Y. Saturday at the age of 26 years. The
news of the death of the popular idol of
the trotting world will be heard with re-
gret by every person who has the slightest
interest in the harness horse. She was
born on the Woodburn farm in Kentucky.
In her third year the young mare began to
display her speed by trotting in 2.4O over
a half-mile track at Cincinnati, Ohio. In
the following year she made mark of
, III at Lexington. This was remarka-
bic performance for that time, and attract
ed the attention of William H. Vanderbilt,
who paid Capt. Stone $40, 900 for her.
Under Mr.. Vanderbilt's ownership the
mare was carefully developed. Later she
was sold to Robert Bonner for$4O, 600 with
the understanding that she should never
be entered in a race.
In 1884 Jay Eye See made a record of
2l0, but on the very next day at Cleve-
land, Ohio, Maud S. lowered the mark to
909i On Nov. II, 1884, she made mark
Of O94 at Lexington. 1t was too late for
any further attempts that season, but the
mare was kept at work in preparation for
the following campaign. Early in 1885
she returned to the TRACK, and in July al
Cleveland, she reduced her record to 2.OS8
This was with high wheel sulky on reg
ulation track, and the record has never
since been equalled under the same condi
tons. A golden shoe hangs over the gates
in Cleveland in memory of the event.

Casualty List I'm south Africa and the
Philippines.

The casualty list of the South African
war is in bloodyscontrast with that of our
army in the Philippines. Up to Mar. 10
the British killed, wounded and missing
aggregated, according to a conservative
estimate, 1857. In the four different eff
forts of Gen. Butler to cross the Tugela.
the British lost 745 killed and 5617 wound
ed and missing. In the fighting at and
about Paardeberg between the 10th and
9th of February, Lord Roberts's army had
243 killed and 1913 wounded and missing.
The Beers losses were officially reported
at 1851 prior to the relief of Kimberley and
Ladysmith, since which dates Cronje has
surrendered.
Our losses in the Philippines from Aug.
6, when our troops were skirmishing with
the Spaniards, up to the close of Gen Otis S
latest despatch, have been, killed in action
43j, died of wounds and accident 269, died
of disease 1907, total deaths I'LL; wound
ed 2034, grand total 3145. Considering
that at the outset of hostilties with the in
surgents our troops, who were greatly out
numbered, were compelled to fight at close
quarters, our losses in the Philippines have
been, relatively speaking, very small.

Excluding the members of the five civil
lized tribes and the Indians in Alaska,
there are 49,, 947 Indians in this country,
of whom 90,050 now wear citizens dress
wholly and 40,60j in part. The tepees
are rapidly disappearing, and being dis
placed by comfortable cabins. The fact
that the Indians cannot readily sell their
wares unless they are prepared crudely or
decorated after the method of their savage
ancestors retsrds their development.
Many of them have artistic ideas and me-
chancal training, yet TO dispose of their
handiwork they initiate the primitive de-
signs Of their forefathers. They are going
back to beaded leggins because curio hun
tiers will pay more for the rude and gaudy
articles. Instead of manufacturing their
own dyes as formerly, they now use
patent dyes. A pottery was recently es-
tablished at Zuni, in which 1t was propos-
ed to instruct the Indians that they might
improve, and arrangements were made for
them to glaze their wares. But they re-
fuse, because the unglazed, old fashioned
pottery sells better, and porous jugs are
preferred because they keep the water
cooler.

GIFT OF $50, 900 to MIddIebury College.

Prof. McGritton announced to the stu

ceipt of a gift from lion. Ezra Warner Of
Chicago, class of 1861, of $50, 900, to be
used for the purpose of erecting a science
building on the campus. The work will be
begun as soon as the ground is in shape
this spring. Mr.. Warner was for many
years one of Chicago's most successful
merchants. The gift is in memory of his
father, Joseph Warner, who was for a long
time cashier of the Middlebury National
bank and for 10 years a trustee of the col
lege. The new building will be three
stories high, floor being devoted to the
botanical, physical and chemical labora-
tories respectively. The present admins
tration has succeeded in raising almost
$500, 900 for endowment and new build
ings. The college will be a century old
this year, and the event will be celebrated
the first week in July.

Litigation.

Burlington Mans Estate Claimed by
widowed sIsters---ROmSnce Ends In
Litigation.
Interesting litigation has been begun in
Burlington over the property Of John Glib
son who died in that city about two years
ago. The principals in the legal proceed.
ings may be termed the first aud second
Mrs. Gibson, each woman claiming to be
the lawful wife of the deceased man. The
first Mrs. Gibson, who arrived in this coun-
try from Scotland few weeks ago. claims
that she was married to Mr.. Gibson in
Scotland 40 years ago but that her husband
came to this country with her sister, the
second Mrs. Gibson, 2G years ago, the elop-
ing couple being married in Plsttsburg, n.
Y The story of the second Mrs. Gibson
is that after she had been in this country
some tine John Gibson showed her a letter
stating that his wife had been burned to
death, and soon afterwards they were mar
ried
The estate involved in this contest is
small, consisting of a small bakery carried
on by the second Mrs. Gibson, upon which
there is a mortgage of $4,000, according to
the occupants statement. The first Mrs
Gibson came to Burlington at the request
of her son, John Gibson, jr., who adver-
tised for his mother in the Glasgow papers.
There is also a daughter, Mrs. A. G..
Brown, living in Burlington. Both of the
Mrs. Gibsons are aware of the complicated
nature of the situation, but both are de-
termined to defend their rights The two
sisters do not resemble each other, though
both speak with broad Scotch accent.
