Bank Robbery i'm Canada.

The Dauvile Branch of the PEOPLES
Bank OF Halifax, at Danville, P. O., was
entered by burglars recently and about
IS 900 in currency was carried away.
There were six masked men in the gang.
They seized and gagged a young man
with whom they came in contact on their
way to the bank, taking him with them
and leaving him in the bank. The whole
proceeding was seen from across the
street and the alarm was given as soon
the men had departed. They were all
caught near Windsor Mills the same
night and taken to Sherbrooke jail and
it is hoped that by this capture bad
company of desperate burglars is broken
up as some OF them are we'll known by
the Sherbrooke police.

vermonters' Association In Boston.

About $50 native Vermonters gathered
at Hotel Brunswick, Boston. last Thurs
day evening, the occasion of the 14tl
annual banquet Of the Vermont Associa
ton OF Boston. The occasion wa.
officially recognized by Governor Smith
who attended with Mrs. Smith, and also
by three members of the executive staff
Col. Frank L. Greene, Col. Ferrand S.
Stranahan, of st. Adams, and Adit. Cen
eral W. H. Gilmore, of Fairlee. A recep.
tion preceded the dinner which was fol-
lowed by social hour.
Among the speakers of the evening were
Edward Curtis Smith, governor of Yer.
mont and W. W. Grout, the senior men,
Der Of Vermont's congressional deIega-
ton. The governor brought the official
greetings OF the state to the association.
He expressed his belief that notwith-
standing the incessant drain on the
states population by emigration to
other states, the next census would show
an increase in population. His remarks
showed his confidence in the future of
Vermont and his address met with
hearty applause.
Gen w. w. Grout spoke briefly of the
history of Vermont. 1t is full of romance.
There is great opportunity for writers to
weave stories from it's historic events.
Such names as Ethan Allen, Gen. Stan.
nard and Admiral Dewey in war can
hardly be surpassed. Let us not forget.
too. that we have had one native. born
Vermonter, Chester A. Arthur. who be-
came president of the United States.
Gen. Grout paid high tribute to the
public services of the late Justin S. Nor.
III, tor many years prominent figure at
he national capital. The speaker voiced
he sentiments of all Vermonters in his
stimate of the honorable life of the late
lestor of the U. S. senate.
He urged the justice of Vermont's erect
ng statue to Senator Morrill, and plac-
ng it either in the old representative hall
n some other appropriate place in Wash
ngton. Gen. Grout said Senator Morrill,
Introduced the bill providing for the
acing OF two statues in the old repre-.
hall by each state. Vermont's
uota in that hall is already full, but |
hink if a statue of him were presented to
he senate it would be accepted.
Lieut.. Gov. Henry c. Bates suggested
his letter OF regret that Vermont, like
Their sister states, take steps for holding
n "old home week" this fall. No action
'as taken at the meeting on this sugges-
ion, but it is understood that many in
ermont favor the idea.
The officers elected for this year are:
lon. Edgar ]. Sherman, president, Col.
osiah H. Benton, Jr., COL Albert Clarke,
ice presidents, Rev. DR.. William RI.
avis, chaplain, N. L. Sheldon, secretary
nd treasurer, Eugene N. Foss, James Nj.

China will leave Japan far behind from

are as remarkable for their commercial
morality as the japanese are for the
opposite; they are more solid, better
