Mr.. Henry Purmort Eames gave what
was billed as ''piano forte lecture re-

compositions for the piano forte which
have been inspired by the genius OF
the great poet. Mr.. Eames is 80 we'll

LITERARY NOTES.

A piece Of fiction entitled The Kill
ing of the Mammoth" publ shed in Nc
Clure's some months ago, was taken by
many readers az record OF fact-as
much to the surprise as to the regret OF
the editors. In the present number,
Mr.. Frederic A. Lucas Of the National
museum, gives us 1.-THE Truth About the
Mammoth )" and the truth, as Mr..
Lucas, out of bis ample scientific
knowledge, presents it, is 80 extremely
interesting that even those who were
most mislead by the inventions of the
story writer will feel that ample amends
are here made.

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Minnie Jackman of Shelburne Took
Chloform But Will Recover

An attempt at suicide was made by Miss
Minnie JaCkman at the home of her broth
er. Fred Jackman in Shelburne Falls ear
ly Tuesday morning. The attempt was
unsuccessful and last night Miss Jack
man was recovering rapidly, The attempt
was made with chloroform, which the
young woman secured in this city few
days previous to its use.
Miss Jackman's attempt to take her own
life was shock to her friends and neigh
hors of the family when they learned Of
the occurrence yesterday morning. She is
young woman of about 20 years and is
not usually of the temperament of sui
cides. During the last month or more she
has been much depressed by the death Of
her mother of whom she was very fond
and this is supposed to have temporarily
unbalanced her mind. Her brother. Fred
Jackman in whose family she lives went
to her room shortly after s o'clock Tues
day morning and at once noticed the
odor of the chloroGorm. He found his sis
ter under the influence of the drug and
realizing her condition alarmed the fam
lily and sent for physician. An INSULT
Cient quantity of the chloroform had been
used to produce death with the manner
of application and with proper remedies
Miss Jackman was brought to conscious
ness. In her room was a letter addressed
to her brother in which she said she wish
ed to Join her mother.

DISCLOSED ON AGENCY.
Not the One on Church Street, This
City, However.

The Wnooski liquor agency was the re-
cipient of another disclosure in the City
Court yesterday morning, when Alphonse
Beaudette testified that he secured pint
of alcohol there on Tuesday of which it
took only part to make him drunk, The
bottle was produced in court over half
full of the alcohol and those present in,
dulged IN some speculation as to what it
was. The respondent said he called for
gin but got what was in the bottle He
said he did not reduce it.
The agency denied the charge when
communicated with by telephone and said
there was no such name as Beaudette on
the books of the institution. This raised
a question which will be looked into and
meanwhile Beaudette, who paid his fine
of So and costs of Sl025 for intoXication
was allowed to have his liberty. He is
the young man arrested by Officer Cole
on Church street early Tuesday afternoon.
1t was necessary to use an Interpreter in
taking his testimony, as he did not speak
English plainly. His brother was pres
ent and had the funds TO liquidate the
fine,

HORSE THIEF IN JAIL.
Man Had Just Been Released From
DannemOra Prison.

A man who is identified as James Cad.
ron who was released from Clinton pris-
on in New York Saturday. was brought
TO this city Tuesday wight from Waterbury,
where he was arrested by Sheriff Graves
on the charge of stealing a horse. Thd
man apparently did not profit by his eX-
percnce I'm prison Tor the first thing ha
did on getting out was to steal horse.
Another popularity OF the affair is that
he stole a harness and cart from the barn
of the prison. This occurred on Saturday
night
Sunday a man arrived at the homie of A.
II. Sowles in Alburgh with a tired horse
and stopped for a time That night the
mare which he drove gave birth to colt.
The man wanted to proceed and offered
to trade the mare and colt with Mr..
Sowles for another horse and as the offer
was an advantageous one it vas accepted
and the exchange made. The traveller
then departed ON Monday news was re-
ceived by Mr.. Sowles that the horse he
had received in the trade was stolen amt
Constable o. O. Bell of AlburGh was noti-
fed and started at 10 o'cLock on Monday
night to trace the thief, VINO had left ths
home Of Mr. SoWles at o'clock IN thu
morning. The team was traced down
through Grand Isle county and across the
Sandhar bridge. The trail was then lost.
The officers came through Colchester and
found that a man who had been at Fort
Ethan Allen on Monday night corresponds
ed to the description of the one they want"

SHOOTING FOR MEDALS.
Season For Target Practice in the Ma
ional Guard Now On.

The season for target practice in the
Vermont National Guard has opened for
the present year and will continue actively
until the time of the annual muster in
August. The State, in order to improve
the craftsmanship among national guards
men, gives the same rewards for high
scores as are given in the United States
army. The range upon which the shoot
ing is done must be of standard length
and measured in distances varying from
1p to 1905 wards Different size targels
are used at different ranges. If silhor
cite targets are used the target for 100
and 200 yards is the figure Of man lying
down and facing the m1rksman. At 800
yards it is the outline Of a man knecling
and al 800 and 600 yards the figure stands
fun length and has the appearance of
man firing in the direction OF the marks
man. At the longer ranges the figure is
that of man on a horse, the whole fig
ule varying in size by different pastures
assumed by the horse from a front view
| to a side view. When shooting at the
first two ranges a soldier must stand ard
shoot without a rest. At 800 yards he is
permitted to kneel and at SOC, 600 yards
and otner ranges he is allowed to shoot
from almost any position.
In the regular army the number of
rounds of ammunition issued to each man
1 for target practice is limited In the Ma
! tional Guard n man must confine himself
scores. To obtain the grade of second
class marksman a soldier must make Il
score of at least 80 out of possible 70 at
distance of 900 yards A first class marks
man should score an aggregate of go out of
| Is The next grade that OF marksman,
requires that a score of 10 should be made.
Marksmen are distinguished by badges
known as marksmen's buttons. These are
small square badges, silver or nickel
! plated. upon which a miniature target is
engraved. They are attached to the coat
collars. A second class marksman wears
! but one button, a first class marksman
wears two and the marksman grade is
dstinguishable by three buttons on each
side.
| The grade of sharpshooterS is quite CO.
veted in the army and is more difficult
| to attain than those of marksman. To
| become sharpShooter a soldier must
make an average score OF 50 per cent. at
ranges of 200, 300, 800 and 600 yards. The
! insignia for this grade is a handsome
medal of metal resembling oxidized
bronze When a soldier who is already in
! the possession of one of these medals,
! makes the required score a second time he
is given a small bar of the same metal
/ as the medal that is suspended below the
medal itself by two small links. Each
year he may win one of these until his
string of bars becomes so long that it IS
rather troublesome to wear for ornament
al purposes.
| The State also offers another decoration
for a newly established grade, that of eX-
pert. The badge has not yet been des-
cribed score OF 90 per cent. is required
in this grade
The decorations that were won last year
by the local company have not yet been
received but they are almost daily ex-

NATIVES TOO TREACHEROUS

Manila, June 10.-Judgc William II Taft

comm ssion were beset during their first
week in Manila by d multitude Of callers,
of all nationalities, professions and inter-
ests, who presented u bcwildcring assort-
ment of recommendation touching mill
tary and civil policies The commissioners
maintained the attitude of unprejudiCed
listeners.
They admit that while they anticipated
an enormous task, the complexity and diff
ticultv of the problems and conditions are
well night staggering. They are determin-
ed, however, with the cooperation of the
army, in pacifying as we'll as in hght ting,
to make the Philippines peaceful and
honestly governed country before depart
ing.
They find General Macarthur admin
lstcring civil military affairs in a way that
Is universally popular. The Filipino party
embracing prominent insurrectionists who
accepted American rule through force of
circumstances is already making over
lures for the discussion Of a scheme Of
permanent government, practically reviv-
| ing the old proposition of autonomy under
an American protcCtotate.
| There are. of course, some FilipnoS who
believed that Judge Taft would bring the
millennium in his vest pocket; and these
profess to be disappointed because sweep
ing changes are not enforced Immediate

has conferred with the high army officers,
