Thoreau,s Mother,s Ghost.


Besides Thoreau and his mother, the
house (at Concord has had for its &C.
cupants A. Bronson Alcott and family,
including his distinguished daughter,
Louisa NJ, the author" writes Samuel
8. Kingdom In The Ladies' Home Jour
nal. ITO them sometimes came the
ghost Of Nine. Thoreau. Those who
know Nine. Thoreau and her habits
confirm the description given by a
servant who left the house because of
the visitation, in every detail; her tall,
gaunt figure. her big, white cap, her
stealthy step, her quiet comings, her
noiseless goings.
when seen, she invariably stood In
the doorway, her great cap well ad-
justed, her neat handkerchief, half un-
folded, tucked securely into the waist
band Of her full dress skirt-pausing q
moment on the threshold, looking anx-
iously about, then STOPPING and run
Ing her finger along the edge Of the
mopboard, to see II perchance a speck
Of dust had found Judgment there.
Proceeding to the workroom, she glanc-
ed in, then glided to the fireplace,
STOPPING over 1t and motioning with
her hands as If In the act Of covering
the Goals with ashes.
I'm life, 1t should be said, the two
prominent characteristics Of Nine
Thoreau were an adherence Of dust
and a dread of fire. Satisfied ON these
points, the spirit would disappear. I'm,
like other ghosts, this one always ap
peared In the daytime"
This is the season when mothers are
alarmed on account of Group. 1t is
quickly cured by One Minute Cough
Cure, which children like to take.

stephen Crane, Author.

Stephen Crane, the author, who died
Tuesday from consumption at Baden, Ger
many, won fame on two continents at a
time Of age when most young men have
not completed their apprenticeships. He
was born in Newark, N. j., less than 30
years ago, the son of a clergyman. He
spent short time in Lafayette college
and in Syracuse university, but he was
more devoted to athletics than to studies.
He began writing when only 16, and at 20
produced his first novel, Maggie, a Girl
of the Streets. Fame came to him in the
publication Of The Red Badge of Courage,
completed when he was %. Critics pro-
nounced this work phantasmagorical, but
it portrayed the horrors of war in intense
colors, and was one of the most widely
read books of 1895. Other later works by
Crane are considered more meritorious
than The Red Badge of Courage, but none
are so well-knOwn as the story of the pri-
vate in the battle of Charlottesville.
Crane was reporter on New York pa
pers after he left college and was cores
pondent of London and New York papers
during the seven weeks war between
Greece and Turkey. Crane started with a
flibustering expedition to Cuba in the YES
sci Commodore, which was scuttled off the
coast of Florida, and his experiences then
resulted in the story In An Open Boat.
Crane was correspondent with the Amer
ican Army throughout the campaign in
Cuba, and remained on the island until af-
ter the occupation of Havana. The fever
which he contracted in Cuba FASTENED his
death, but he had overworked in the past
two years, turning out books and maga-
zine stories with remarkable industry.
Crane is said to have considered The Mon
ster his best work; second, Georges Moth
er, then An Old Man Goes A-Wooing,
Maggie, Girl of the Streets.
Crane has spent much of the time for
over year in England, and broke down
in health while there only few months
ago. He was more popular in England
than any American writer. Cranes fame
is probably ephemeral, but he had master
ed the art of impressionistic description,
was always original and gave promise of
more enduring work than he had ever ac-
complished. His death is distinct loss
TO contemporary literature.

Not Earning HIS salary.
From the waterbury Record. ]

Judge Powers draws $4,000 for each
term of Congress. exclusive of mileage,
allowance for clerk, etc. The length Cf the
two sessions combined averages ten
months. His pay is, therefore, $1,000
per month, or $36.46 a day, counting
twenty-six days to the month. Isn't his
salary large enough so that he can afford
to devote his time to his constituents,
especially when a bill so full of import
ance TO them as the oleo bill is pending
before Congress? What would our old
farmers think of hiring a man through
having, and paying him two dollars day,
and then, when they had big field of hay
down, and it looked as though a storm
was comingup, having this hired man say
"I have got some private matters to attend
to and l shall have to leave you with your
hay in the windrow, but shall insist that
my two dollars a day continue to the end
of haying, although l sha'n't be back to
help you any more this season; but mind
you, Mr.. Farmer, you must not hire any
body else to help you do your next seasons
haying. / know there are other good men
whom you could hire for next year, but
you know have had lots of experience,
and experience is very valuableP"

A Cheerful and Assured outlook.

Brattleboro Republicans elected last
evening delegation to the congressional
convention aggressively in favor of Col.
Haskins. The Republicans of Wilmington,
Windham, Putney and Dummerston have
also elected Haskins delegates, and before
the end of another week every Windham
county town will have fallen into line, pre-
senting delegation solidly in favor of the
Windham county candidate. This is an
omen of the success of Col. Haskins in
the convention to be held at White River
Junction a week from next Tuesday. The
result of the active canvass now being
made by the Coloners friends in every part
of the district has been to increase and
confirm the belief in the success of his can
didacy which they have felt from the first
There have been notable accessions of
siren 9Th during the week, and everything
indicates that the tide will continue to run
strongly in Col. Haskins's favor from now
on. For reasons already stated his candi-
dacy appeals to old soldiers with peculiar
force, and the veterans are making them
selves an active factor in the canvass. Re
ports from all parts of the district show
that the superior ability and fitness of Col.
Haskins are not only not disputed, but
that there is an almost universal feeling
that in his election the Second district will
secure its best and strongest representation
in the Fifty-seventb Congress.

Oregon was carried by the Republicans
Monday in the state election by 5000 votes,
and two Republican Congressmen were
elected by pluralities of 60O0 and 250O
Oregon has long been doubtful state and
under Gov. Pennoyer was hot bed of
Populism. The victory Monday strength
ems the prevailing opinion that the Bryan
cause is greatly weakened in its former
stronghold. Mckinley carried the state
in 1896 by the narrow margin of 21l7, but
this year, with complete fusion of oppo-
sition forces, the Republicans have scored
substantial repetition of their phenome-
nal victory of 1898, when the plurality of
10000 was the largest ever recorded. Ev-
cry Bryan issue, including antiimperial-
ism, figured in the last campaign. Oregon
may be depended upon to support McKin-
ley next November.

MINOR NOTES.

The antitrust bill was passed by the
House Saturday, 273 to 1, Mr.. Mann of
Illinois casting the only dissenting vote.
The amendment providing that nothing in
the act should be construed to apply to
trades unions or labor organizations pre-
vailed, 260 to s, bat several other amend
ments were lost.
Sixty of the 70delegates in the Caledonia
county convention last week responded to
the St. Johnsbury Republicans request
for an indication of first and second choice
for congressman in this district. Result:
Stafford 80, Haskins 16, Plumley 3, Dale
2 for first cheice; Haskins 20, Plumley 10,
Stafford 12 and Dale for second choice.
This indicates a strong following for Col.
Haskins in Mr. Stafford's home county.
A statement prepared by the chairmen
of the Senate and House appropriation
committees and submitted to Congress
Wednesday night shows that the total ap-
propriations made at the joint session of
the Fifty-sxth Congress amount to S709,-

war with Spain. Deducting this sum, the
total shows an increase over the year 1898,
which Immediately preceded the Spanish
war, of $40, 747,2
The House, by vote of 127 to IS Mon
day, agreed to the Senate amendment TO the
Sundry Civil bill, appropriating S. 000,00
for the Louisiana purchase exposition at
st. Louis. The Senate item for the Mis-
sissippi river was also agreed to, with an
amendment reducing the appropriation to
$2,250, 900, and adding provision for the
preparation of a comprehensive report on
the levee system by the Mississippi River
Commission. The disputed items of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
were agreed to, and the bill went to the
President.
The ice trust scandal in New York city
now involves Mayor Robert Van Wyck,
nine judges of the supreme court, three
judges of the general sessions, Croker,
Augustus Van Wyck, Gilroy,. Carroll and
other leading politicians, who are large
stockholders in the monopoly which was
able to charge extortionate prices and to
maintain exclusive docking privileges
through political influence. Application
has been made to Gov. Roosevelt for the
removal of Mayor Van Wyck from Office,
and Justice G4ynor has decided that the
section of the charter under which the
mayor and other officials have been called
upon TO testify in an investigation of the
ice trust is not only constitutional but nee
essary for the safety of the citizens.

D. J. Foster of Burlington may be the
dark horse in the contest in the First Con
gTessional district. He has almost the SOL
i'd support of the delegates in Chittenden
county, and at Middlebury surprised the
other candidates by his strength. On the
first ballot he had 2S5 votes, to 1872 for
Page and 81 for Powers. On the second
ballot the vote stood, Foster Sal, Page
202, Powers IS. Page has secured some of
the delegates in Franklin county, and has
carried Wallingford in Rutland county,
but Of the delegates elected today more are
pledged for Foster than for any other can
didate. The defeat of Powers seems in
evitable. The Rutland Herald of this
morning figures the standing to date as
follows: Foster 90, Powers Is, Hall IS,
Baker l6, Page Is, Batchelder 8.

education as the prime factors. In re-

perience, but with undoubted native ability

An Explanation which Does Not
EInIRin


Judge Powers continues his "face to
face" campaign. His speeches are devot-
ed mainly to an explanation of his action
on the Pacific railroad and sugar bounty
questions, and OF his wabbe on the Porlo
Rico tariff. He is also eating crow
regularly by retracting the charges which
he made against Carroll S. Page, who was
accused of an excessive use Of mileage
when member of the legislature. Judge
Powers explained his own excessive use of
mileage as a Congressman in answer to
question when he spoke at Stowe by say
ing that he travelled from MortisviIe to
Washington via Boston as that was the
cheapest and quickest, although not the
shortest route. The judge said the cheap
est and quickest route was what the law
called for, bat the Waterbury Record
probes into the subject and shows that the
law reads that senators and representatives
shall travel TO and from the national
capital "by the most direct route OF usual
travel" The judge said he could come
from Washington to Morrisvile via Boston
in "a hours, but the time via the other
route was 80 hours and the expense one
third greater. The Record also shows
that the time between Washington and
Morrisville via New York and Western
Vermont is less than % hours, and says
the judge sometimes goes to Washington
by this route, although drawing mileage
for the long haul. The judges explana-
tion thus far does not explain why his
mileage voucher calls for 722 miles, while
Gen. CIRCUITS and Judge Ross's are less
than 900, and Senator Proctor's less than
