GOES TO TRUSTEES.
Washburn College Paper Fight Is
Not Yet Over.

The college paper war at Washburn is
not yet over and in the end The Comet"
may win the uphill fight.
AT the beginning of the college term
two college papers were started, the
''Washburn Review and ''The Comet.
There was bitter rivalry between the
papers and the faculty decided that the
Review was the official college paper
published The publishers of "The
Comet" were threatened With expulsion
unless the publication was stopped, so
''The Comet ceased to be issued. The
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of the trustees Of the college in an
unofficial way and no action has been
taken by them but the sentiment among
many of the trustees is that the faculty
has no right to say what college papers
shall or shall not be published If the
matter is brought before a meeting of
the trustees it may be decided that the
students have a right to publish as
many papers as they wish and that
there should be as much competition
among college publications as others.

tional gathering of the Elks in this city

from Joseph G. Donnelly, who held a
consular office in Mexico under the
Cleveland administration He contends
that some of the boxing shows given

TWAIN'S HEAD READ.
PhrenoIogist Tells the Meaning of the
Bumps on the Humorist's Skull


Bumps on the Humorist's Skull.
New York, Nov. 2O.-A phrenologist
who has recently made an examination
of Mark Twain's head says the humor-
lists masculine qualities are far in ex-
cess of the feminine. His temperament
may be described as "fbrOus" Every
nerve in his body seems in active service
and his brain is a clearing house to
which checks and drafts are sent from
every nook and corner of his frame.
There is also a fine balance between the
different functions, especially as regards
his brain. In his vital economy nothing
is wasted. Hence his constitution in
sures depth of feeling, earnestness of
purpose, capacity for long continued
mental strain, with remarkable keen
ness and accoracy of judgment.
The deep set eyes denote more precis-
ion than fiuency in the use of words. His
hesitating manner of speech shows that
every syllable is carefully weighed. The
fullness of his upper forehead makes
him a philosopher and a critic. The
tautness Of the skin over that area sig
nifies long and increasing activity of
those reflective powers. In a word, he
has great intelligence in the broadest
sense of the term.
The sentiment of mirth is said to be
much less marked than many would
suppose. But the nature Of his merri-
ment is in perfect accord with the form
of his brain.

AWED THE CANNIBALS.
Party of Thirteen Has Narrowing Ex-
periences in San Francisco.

San Francisco. Cal, Nov. 2O.-Thirteen
cannibals from the South Pacific, who
constitute the crew of the schooner Mas
cote, were taken ashore last night to
see the sights of San Francisco. An
arc light sputtered into business Just
as they reached the sidewalk, throwing
them into a panic, while a four-horse
truck got mixed up with the rear end
of the procession and caused a brief
stampede The party then went out to
the chutes on cable car, but the men
couldn't understand the cable Down the
chutes and over the scenic railway the
terrified but obedient cannibals were
hurried, their eyes all whites and their
WoOlIy kinks uncoiling like springs at
every plunge of the cars. Finally they
were herder back to their ship all awed
by the wonders they had seen.

Interesting Game Statistics.

Editor of JOurnal:-It will be interesting
to hunters and some others to know OF some
of the animals killed in Vermont during
the time from 1885 to 1885, both years inclu-
sive.
During 1897 and 1898, there were no b un-
ties on nOxious animals, but although there
were considerable many bounties paid dur
ing 1897 and very few in 1898 they were
for those animals killed in the year Of 1896,
after the auditors report had been made
and the law repealed, and before it went
into effect in February, 1897. The auditor q
report shows for the time above mentioned
that there were bounties paid on 494 bears,
1853 lynx, 46, 313 foxes, 215 rattle snakes,
one nauther, one wolf, costing the State
$35 1853.
The official report of John w. Titcomb,
State fish and game commissioner for YER
mont in 1899 is on deer, SO killed in the last
ten days of Ocober.
The announcement that four large gray
timber wolves have lately been taken in
Fayston is startling. In Maine, in 1898,
260 moose were shipped from the woods; in
1899, 2l6 were shipped. Ia 1899, 1879 deer
were killed, averaging about 100 per day
for he open season. This was the off cial
count. 1t was estimated that the full num-
ber WAS 20. 600 deer The total number of
bears reported killed in 1898 was So Tota
number OF pounds of fish reported taken for
1899, 141 ,412.

NEW CANNING FACTORY.

The canning plant of the Demerit & Pal
mer Packing Company at Waterbury pre-
sents one of the most bustling scenes of &C.
tivity these days.
Something like year ago B. r. Demeritt
and K. H. Palmer, Jr., conceived the idea
that Waterbury was the center OF corn
growing region and that an up-to-date can
ming factory would do well there. Today
this idea is in substantial form in the way
OF factory 10S feet long by 80 feet wide to
which il annexed husking shed of the
same length and eighteen feet in width.
From forty to sixty hands, according to the
supply of corn. are employed in the husking
shed and twenty-five hands in the factory.
The corn is brought to the factory in the
ear and sold by the hundred weight. After
weighing 1t is dumped in he husking shed
where 1t is husked into baskets, the farmers
carting away the husks for feed. The corn
Is then carried to the second floor of II Q fac
tory, where it is stripped from the cob and
the silk removed by running it through the
power cutters and silkers. 1t is then con-
veyed through spout to the cooker on the
first floor. The cooker feeds the corn int
the cans which, after passing through the
wiper, pass through the Gaping and tip
ping machines which solder the openings
and seal the cans air tight.
These sealed cans are then placed in
large trays and the defective ones, which
are few, Notwithstanding the rush with
WhlOu tuO WOih ptOCcbub, are bOTbtu out.
These trays are placed one above the other
in the large iron retorts of which there are
five with capacity of 800 cans each.
Here under steam heat the cans of corn
ere kept for an hour at a temperature of $50
degrees. They are afterward taken to the
cooling yard and prayed with hose until
cooled.
The season is short, opening about the
first Of September and closing about the
first OF October, so it is rush work from
start TO finish. This firm does not pect to
can any fruits this season, but expect to put
up 100000 cans of corn, most of which is al
ready sold. AS soon as the season closes
the work OF labelling, packing and shipping
the goods will be taken up The steam anu
power for operating the plant is furnished
by an engine and two large boilers.
Both members of the firm are wideawake
and enterprising young men AID deserve
the success which has TENDED their ven-
ture and which is credit and valuable ac-
QUESTION to Waterbury.
