Lake Sunapee.

OF the many beautiful inland seas of
which New England boasts, none is more
beautiful than Lake Sunapee. Its attrac-
tions are endowments such as nature has
lavished only in few places, and these
priceless treasures are the source of its
great popularity. The principal resorts on
Sunapee lake are Blodgetts, Georges, Pine
Cliff and Burkehaven. At these places
several thousand tourists find delightful
recreation. The several steamers on Lake
Sunapee ply, not only between the above
named landings, but also at numerous
smaller resorts which are delightful out
ing places, and at some one of them you
can stop next Sunday, when there will be
a low rate excursion to Sunapee Lake sta
ton via the Boston & Maine railroad.
The rate from Brattleboro will be Sl.25
and the special train leaves at a. NJ. The
return train does not leave the lake sta
ton until 5:15 p. NJ, hence there is ample
time for enjoying the beauties of Lake
Sunapee and its vicinity.

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tioual remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when il is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result and unless
the iniammati ion can be taken out and this tube
restored TO its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten are
caused by catarrh which is nothing but an In
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
Of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that cannot be

Plantation Melodies VIII he Heard
Tuesday Night.

One of the leading papers of Bingham
ton, n. Y, contained July 2S the follow
ing notice Of the singers who will be heard
at the Centre church next Tuesday even
ing: Plantation melodies, other songs and
Tecitations were heard at the First Presby-
terrain church last evening; and incident
ally the work of Talladega college was ex-
planned by the instructor and students of
that institution, who gave the jubilee con-
cert. The singing of the male quartet was
we'll up to the standard of southern jubi-
lee singers; and the program differed from
those of most entertainments of this kind
in that it contained several readings. In
the readings A. II. Sensgtache brought out
all the strength of some of Paul Lawrence
Dunbars best poems, and under his rem
dering of "Uncle Remus's" descriptions of
"Brer Rabbits" pilfering of "Brer Foxs
goober patch" brought out the best feat
ures of Mr. Harris's dialect humor. The
songs included such well-known melodies
as "Oh, Make-a-Me Holy" "Steal
Away" Kentucky Babe" "Old Black
Joe," and more recent improvisation of
"Little Jack Horner." William Pickens
delivered a well prepared and forceful
speech on the Evolution of the Negro"
No admission fee will be charged at the
entertainment Tuesday, but a collection
will be taken. The concert will begin at
7:30 o'clock.

Bratu.boro Boy Lost at Block Island

Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Anderson of this
town who, with their three children, took
advantage of the recent excursion to Block
Island, were tone shy upon leaving
the steamer at New London Saturday
afternoon, their fve-years-old son be-
ing missing. The boy had not been seen
since the steamer left Block Island, but
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson had supposed that
the lad was somewhere on the boat. Con-
sternation, prevailed in the dismembered
family and search was at once planned.
Mrs. Anderson and the two children were
sent home, and Mr.. Anderson waited i'm
patiently for Monday morning, when he
could take the steamer back to Block
Island. The boy meanwhile had been
found wandering about the island but was
unable TO give an account of himself. He
was finally taken in tow by kind-hearted
Swedish sailor who was able to talk with
the child and the conclusion was reached
from what the child said that he was from
New York. On Monday morning the
island authorities were on the point of tel
ephoning to New York city in an effort to
find the boys parents, when the father APP
peared and claimed his heir.

Senator Hanna Thus Refers to Making
the Republican Platform and Naming
the Candidate for Vice President.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE sub
committee of the republican national
campaign committee began Saturday
the work of laying plans for the pres
idential campaign. Shortly after nine
o'clock the committeeman visited
Mayor Ashbridge. In the party were
Senator Hanna, chairman; Joe"
Manley, of Maine; III. C. Payne, of
Wisconsin and Charles Dick, of Ohio,
the secretary of the national COM
mittee. From the mayors Office the
committee went to the exposition
buildings in West Philadelphia to in
spect the auditorium in which the
convention is to be h6ldtzAll the WIS.,
itors expressed their satisfaction at
the selection of the hall. Senator
Hanna, regarding the convention,
said:
"Of course President Mckinley will
be renominated, and without doubt
he will receive every vote in the con-
vention; but when it comes to choos-
ing his running mate and deciding on
the platform there is likely to be an
abundance of excitement"
During the conference with Mayor
Ashbridge, Senator Hanna made the
first statement which he has uttered
in his capacity as republican national
chairman, on the issues and plans of
the coming campaign. He said:
First, the national issues will be the
prosperity of the working people OF
the country. Second, the retention of
the Philippines. The republican party
is in pressing and immediate need of
funds to carry on the work of the
campaign and it must be begun with
out moments delay. The democratic
party has labor agitators at work
throughout the west and the republic
an campaign committee finds it nee
essary to meet them at every point"

Gone to His Own.

Last week, in commenting upon
the peculiar action of the supreme
court of Ohio, as reported, in first
preventing the discovery of evidence
of bribery in judicial proceedings by.
the Standard Oil trust, and in then
deciding that the trust could not be
punished because evidence was lack
ing, we remarked that "'the Ohio court
has in this case been grossly misre-
ported, or else it has earned just sus-
picion.' 1t now transpires that the
chief justice has resigned his seat, to
take effect next week, in order to ac-
cept retainer from the salt trust for
defending it against proceedings un-
der the Ohio trust law. The salt trust
is understood to be under the control
of the Standard Oil trust. We make
no comment. Every reader ought to
be able TO make his own.-The Pub

SISTER AGAINST SISTER.
Sensational Statement Made by Mrs. DIR.

Charged with Murder.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE most i'm
portant and sensational testimony yet
given in the trial of Mrs. Carrie
Holmes, charged with the murder of
her husband by poison, at Brown
wood, was that of her sister. The
witness is the wife of DIR. T. NJ. Hayes,
the family physician of the Holmeses.
Mrs. Hayes testified that on returning
from the funeral she and her sister
rode alone in a carriage, and that
Mrs. Holmes confessed to her that
she had murdered her husband so
that she might be free to marry j. F.
Hamlin. Mrs. Hayes declared that
she felt it to be her duty to testify
to the confession of her sister, be-
cause expressions of suspicion had
been made in certain directions that
her husband, DIR. Hayes, had poisoned

killed THE FRENCHMAN.
American Youth Named Martins
Commits Terrible Crime in a
Paris Railway Carriage.
ais VICTIM WAS A FAMOUS BREWER.
Martins Had Accused a Fellow Passenger
of Trying to Rob Him. and the French
man Was Acting as Peacemaker When
He Was Instantly Shot Down-Ameri-
cans IN Paris Believe Martins Insane.

New York, Jan. IA dispatch to
the World from Paris says: Paul
Jaujou, the famous brewer, was killed
n first class railway carriage by
William Martins, an American boy
scarcely 20 years old. In the COM
oartment occupied by Martins were a
young Englishman and NJ. and Nine.
Jaujou. The train had just passed
Tonnare when Martins violently ac-
.used the Englishman of wanting to
.hloroform and rob him. He soon
worked himself into frenzy and
1rew revolver. NJ. Jaujou tried to
1isarm Martins and the latter shot
him through the brain. NJ. Jaujou
ell back dead in the arms of his wife.
The alarm bell brought the train
men, but Martins held them at bay
for time with his pistol. Finally,
however, the engineer sprang upon
him and secured the weapon. Martins
| was then bound hand and foot and
placed in a baggage car. The mur-
| Ierer and the body of his victim were
taken in charge by the police.
The tragedy causes intense feeling
all 7over France, as NJ. Jaujou, who
| owned the largest French brewery at
Mines, was as prominent here as
Rockefeller is in America. He was
very wealthy and a great philan-
thropist. Martins is believed to be
| insane He seems to have lots of
money. The American embassy is
Examining the case. First Secretary
Eigpaux says: 'Unless we can prove
| insanity Martins will be the first
American citizen ever guillotined."
