This and much more-notably the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Stilman to
Secretary Gage. under date of April of
last year, when there was a brief panic
in trust stocks on the New York
exchange:
"As you have doubtless noticed in the
press, the money market here has been
quite unsettled during the latter part of
the week We have loaned very literally

rates as would tend to force liquidation

your approval, and that you will advise

This is interesting as exhibiting the
power of large bank over speculation
and business, and also as showing that
Mr.. Stillman never kept Secretary Gage
in ignorance of the City banks claims
and wants respecting the free use OF
government money.
What is wanted now is full statement
of the amounts of government money or
deposit with and 10 the free use of the
City bank from time preceding the

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If there is one thing on which the
housewife prides herself, it is that of
having her laundering done nicely, so
that the wearing apparel may be the adj
miration of all. The washing is small
matter, anyone almost can do that, but
to have the linens present that flexible
and glossy appearance after being ironed
requires fine quality of starch.
j. c. IIubinger's new laundry starch,
"Red Cross" and "Hubinger's Best"
brands, are his latest inventions and the
finest starch ever placed on the market ;
not new starch made by new manu-
facturer, but new starch by the lead
ing and only manufacturer of fine laun-
dry starch in the United States.
His new method of introducing this
starch with the Endless Chain Starch
Book enables you to get one large l0c
package of "Red Cross" starch, one
large Toe package of "Hubinger's Best
starch, with the premiums, two beauti-
full Shakespeare panels, or one TWEEN
tieth Century Girl calendar, all for &C.

attention, or the consequences may prove
fatal.

Curious Old Epitaphs.

Among the many curiosites which
Vermont posses are the Anticipated cpl
taphs, which are to be found on the grave
stones in the old burying grounds
throughout the state. They are very
plentiful in the burying grounds at
Arlington, where the wife of Gen. Ethan
Allen lies with her two children. One
stone dated June Z, 1900, reads: marian
Comfort. The corps thus laidand buried
here was once among the living. Her
conduct known, her virtue shone, equal
to any woman. She in her last and
dying hour manifested strong belief in
Jesus Christ, her only bower to grant
her great relief" Evidently the ad-
vantages of phonetic spelling and the
game of euchre were not known at that
time. Another epitaph contains an adj
monition from the corps" as follows ::
go home, dear friends, wipe off your
tears. Here | must lie till Christ APP
pears" Still another epitaph bears on
its face the belief the deceased's neighbor
had of his character from current report !:

Drowned in the susquehanna.

A accident occurred below Como
wingo, last Friday, by which two
men, William Mccullough and
Charles Davis, lost their lives by
drowning in the Susquehanna, and
Joseph Adams narrowly escaped
the same fate. The men were all
employed by the Susquehanna
Paper Co., and had gone out in a
small boat to repair the cable which
spans the river at that point. The
river was very high and the current
running strong. The boat became
entangled in the cable and was
upset. Adams succeeded in catch
ing hold of the boat and chung
thereto until rescued about mile
down the river. Mccullough
caught hold of cable and held on
for about quarter of an hour, but
finally became so benumbed that
he was forced to let go and per-
ished. Davis was drowned at once
as he could catch neither the boat
nor cable. All three Of the men
were married and have families.
The bodies of the drowned men
have not yet been recovered though
every effort has been made to find
them.

| The popular indignation aroused
throughout Hartford county by two
recent atrocious violations of women
of that county by negroes swept
beyond controllable proportions
Monday, and at 11:30 O'Clock at
night, after determined and sue
cessful assault on the county Jail,
at Bel Air, Lewis Harris, accused
of an attempted assault on Miss
Annie McIlvaine, an aged woman
of that town, was taken from his
cell and hanged to a tree on the
Churchill road, not more than two
hundred yards from the town limits,
and Immediately in front of the
home of Vim. s. Archer.
That is the sequel to the last
negro outrage which was perpe-
trated at the very doors of Cecil's
homes. If the better class of the
negro race don't take up the dis
cipline of their own kith and kin
an irrepressible conflict bids fair to
be created, far worse than that of
fifty years ago between slavery and
freedom.
Whiskey, the real cnlprit, and
the men who voted to license its
sale, cannot escape their guilt.

was asked the negro. With voice
faint from fright, Harris spoke.
