came suddenly. He was born in Brook

and later became large building contract

in this city, and was a prominent citizen.
He took special interest in the schools,
serving as school commissioner. His health
falling, he went into the hardware bust
ness in Orange, and thence to Bloomfield.
He came to Brattleboro six years ago. He
was interested in number of schemes,
and thought of mining gold and silver
along the Connecticut river banks as he
claimed to have secured specimens of these
metals between here and West river. He
had original views on medicine and claim
ed to have affected cures after doctors had
given up their patients. In spite of his
peculiarities he was much respected as
citizen and man. He was twice married,
his second wife surviving with two children.
Mr.. Wellman accumulated considerable
property and owned several building lots in
EsteyVille. The funeral was held this
afternoon at the house at o'clock, Rev.

PROBABLY the world never produced
a greater scoundrei than Capt. Ester
hazy, the man who inspired the ia
nous Dreyfus persecution. Dreyfus
was twice courtmartialed on the
charge Of having written document
betraying army secrets to a foreign
nation. This document has been
found in the personal effects of Ester
hazy, though he swore it was never
in his possession. 1t was, however,
generally believed that Esterhazy him
self wrote it. The fact that it has
now been located in his possession
seems to brand him both liar and a
scoundrel, and worthy of far greater
punishment than the mere formal
exile which he is now undergoing.

the hero is a ragged little urchin
trudging along the dusty pike, and
tcontinues until the boy is well into
manhood. The story is marked by a
freshness, vigor and fire that are
not often found in contemporary
fiction. The book is essentially dra-
matte and situation follows situation
with a swiftness that keeps the reader
keyed up from the time that he first
meets Sammy Drew, in Bloody Hol-
low, until the time when in company
with Cupe and Oman he takes leave
of Susie at the gate of the beautiful
convent in Nazareth, Ky.
"Pippa Passes" is one of the most
widely quoted and perhaps the best
known of Robert Browning's longer
poems Miss Armstrong, who is one
of the foremost decorative artists of
the day, has elaborated for it a re-
markable series of designs, ornamen-
tai head and tail pieces, and borders
of great beauty and originality. 1t
should prove very popular holiday

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

When the American colonies re-
belled against the English crown and
declared their independence, the
American people were believed by the
Europeans to be ''savages or barbara
ans, incapable of resisting incursion
or oppression, ignorant of all the
practices of civilized nations and the
principles of government, incapable
of self-restrsint, utterly incapacitated
for self-government and wholly unfit
ted for liberty"
They pitied US for 1.-The oppression
and barbarity of our homemade ty-
rants and military despots, " and hon
estly believed that their own brand of
oppression would be freedom far in ad-
vance of anything we could accom-
pIish for ourselves. The striking
parallel between our own present at
titude toward the Filipinos and the
former position assumed by England
toward this country goes much farther
that this. Indeed, a report of the

The bluff that was worked so effec

The bluff that was worked so effect
lively four years ago by republicans
has been introduced into the present
campaign, little late, but with no
less spirit of desperation. 1t is to
the effect that numerous gigantic
deals contemplating the employment
of vast armies of labor will be held in
allegiance pending the result of the
election, and that if Bryan is elected
they will be abandoned. If such trans
actions are contemplated they are
prompted by the benefits they
will prove to those interested,
and not with any consideration for
politics or the labor that is to be en-
ployed. When conditions justify them
these so-called big deals will go
through, no matter who is elected, or
who cares, or who. besides those in
terested. is affected either way. If
the time is threatened in this country
when capital may say to the voters,
"either vote for the man we want for
president or you will have dull
times. the quicker the people remove
the conditions that give to capital
such an advantage, the better.

HOW BRYAN MADE A CONVERT.

If BRYAN has not made any other
converts on the tri p through West Vir-
ginia, he made one at Sewell, where,
under the spell of the Nebraskan' S
argumentative powers, the most intlu-
ential man of the place was turned
from an enraged republican, shaking
his hand angrily in the face of Mr..
Bryan. to the Bryanite waving his
hat after the speeding train, and all
within the space of five minutes. A
correspondent tells the story as fol-
lows:
LAS Bryan was speaking, an elderly
Welshman who has large interests
in and around Sewell and who has
been 4 republican, rushed up to the
platform, his face livid with anger,
and shaking his fist at Bryan, he
shouted.
What about the treaty? You
helped to ratify it,
LAS Bryan started to answer, the
train started.
/ knew you'd run away from it,
the man shouted:
Bryan ordered the conductor to
stop the train and began to explain
his course. Again the train started
and again the man to whom MIR. Bryan
was talking gave triumphant shout.
This time Mr.. Bryan ordered that the
train be stopped and held till he said
it should be started. AS he
proceeded with his explanation
of his part in the ratifica-
ton of the treaty the Welshman for
got his anger, the lines in his face
began to soften, and when Bryan de-
clared that by our course we had
robbed the FiliPinos of their liberty
the Welshman's face lighted up and
he rushed forward to shake Bryan's
hand.
LAS an American citizen 1 had a
right to ask the question he said.
Yes, and as candidate l had q
right to answer it, replied MIR. Bryan.
Are you satisfied
Yes, thoroughly and as the
train moved out the Welshman threw
his hat into the air and hurrahed for
Bryan.n
