men Immediately retired to a room
in the Pavilion and there Mr.. Field
moved the organization of a new
party to becalled the Free Soil party,
his motion, which was in writing,
further declaring uncompromising
hostility to slavery and the ways
and means by which the pending
campaign should be conducted. This
motion was adopted unanimously,
and thus was first organized in Yer
mont the Free Soil party of the
United States, as it ante-dated the
National Free Soil convention at
Buffalo by several weeks. The
above named gentlemen are yet well
remembered by many now living for
their fine abilities, fidelity and faith

June at Rutland. In July a mass
convention was called at Montpelier,
the call being addressed to all OPP
posed to slavery. This convention
styled and christened itself as ere

Republican convention held in Yer

MARRIAGES IN THE ARMY.
Stringent Regulations in Force IN Sew
eral Countries.

Stringent Regulations in Force IN Sew
eral Countries.
The restrictive conditions at present
In force with regard to the marriage of
officers of the Russian army, says a
writer In, the Brooklyn Citizen, forbid
this privilege under any circumstances
in the case of officers under the age of
%. Between the ages of % and %
years the dot of an officers wife must
amount to sum representing the mini
mum income of $50 rubles yearly.
On comparison of these conditions
with those regulating the same ques-
ton in other European armies, it may
be noted that in the Austro- III ungarian
army the number of officers authorized
to contract marriage Is limited by a
fixed proportion assigned to each
grade, and, these totals being reached,
all further marriages must be deferred
pending the occurrence Of vacancies in
the married establishments.
The italian army regulations, which
fix the income of the tiancee at a mini
mum of from 1,20O to 1000 lire, would
appear to be more rational in their
operation. Italian officers, however,
apply a somewhat liberal interpreta-
ton to this law, with the result that the
number of marriages occurring under
actual provisions does not exceed more
than one-eighth of the total number,
/ seven-eighths of the officers being uni
ted under the conditions of the re-
ligious ceremony only, and thus expos
ing themselves to all the inconveni-
ences which attend a marriage not rec
ognized by civil law.
Similar disabilities would now ap-
pear to be incurred by the Russian Of
ficers, and suggestions have been made
by the press in Russia that a general
revision Of the law is necessary. The
question Is assuming more Importance
from the fact that Russian officers,
reaching a total of nearly 10000, repre-
sent one of the most important classes
in the state.

chance they were exhumed by the peo-
pie of a far-distant age.
1t was but a short time ago that the
excavations were begun which result
ed In these singular and extraordinary
discoveries. The finding of the re-
mains in the first place was quite acct
dental. III. j. Simmons, superintendent
of the Arizona and New Mexico Rail-
way, was making excavations along
the lines of the railroad near Clear
Creek, Galveston County, when bones
were found in the earth removed. On
examination of the contents of the
steam shovel, skulls and human teeth
were noticed, and further search led
to the discovery of skeletons of whole
families, together with ivory beads and
other objects of human handiwork.
Realizing the valuable and scientific
character of the discovery, a systemat-
ic search of the strata in the vicinity
was made. Biologists say the whole
section of the State was once covered
by the Gulf of Mexico. The idea at
once came to Mr.. Simmons that in far
distant ages a tidal wave had occurred
at the time the gulf covered more of
that part of the country than at pres
ent and that these bones were the re-
mains of the thousands of human be-
ings who had been drowned in the
overflow of the waters of the gulf His
theory was later upheld by leading sci
entists.

man Jones of the national democratic

day." and the national banner played an
important and spectacular part in the
celebration. Portraits of Bryan and Stew
enson were also numerous along the broad
street The weather was perfect for an
outdoor demonstration. Along both sides
of State street speakers stands had been
erected at short distances apart, and from
these points democratic orators of national
prominence addressed the portions of the
multitude nearest at hand.

LOST RACE OF TEXAS.
Prehistoric City Near Galveston En-
quilted by a Tidal Wave.


Relics of prehistoric race were dis
covered in Galveston, Texas, just previ-
GUS to the storm that flooded the city.
Nearly 1000 human skeletons We're
found, and scientists who examined
the excavations had just given the
opinion that an ancient city had been
submerged by tidal wave that drown
ed all the inhabitants, when the calam-
ity OF centuries ago was repeated.
The bones were discovered in
search for relics for the archaeological
exhibit at the Pan-American exposi-
ton, which is to be held in Buffalo, n.
Y, next summer. The skeletons are
beyond doubt several thousand years
old, and the character of the people
who occupied the coast of the gulf at
this period is an interesting subject for
speculation. Whoever they may have
been and whenever they may have liv-
ed, the remains found show beyond a
question that some terrible outbreak
of nature caused the sudden death of
thousands of these ancient people and
their burial in the strata where by

Electricity Interferes with scienc,

The observations of earth currents at
Greenwich observatory have been
made practically useless for several
years by the electric railway from
Stockwell to London, modern instru-
ments being so sensitive that indica-
tons of the current of this railway
have been detected more than 100 miles
away. An early effect of the railway
led to a funny experience. The gener-
ating station was visited by the mag
netic superintendent of the observa-
tory, and on his return to work the
tracings of his magnets showed a curl
Gus DETECTION, which continued day
after day, but only during the hours of
his attendance. The idea that he was
magnetized was a startling one. But
one day he left his umbrella at home
and there was no disturbance, the UNI
brella having been permanent magnet
since the visit to the power station.
