Stand BY Mr.. Palmer.

Editor The ColoIed American, Dear
Sir; Week after week there appears in
the columns Of your paper some un
fair com melt upon the status CT the
Negro in the Government Printing
Office. May 1 ask, why? A man in
your position ought to know that in no
branch of the government are tt ere so
many Negroes employed as in said
office.
We, individually, and as race, should
show gratitude to our friends, and
venture to say there is no better than
the Hon. Frank w. Palmer. Every
man who evidences a friendship for
our people should be spoken Of kindly,
but of man who dots Ten times more
than any other, his praises should form
one grand chorus. Mr.. Palmer is re-
garded, by those who know him, as
one of the best friends Of the Negro
race, and he is, and your columns
could be used to greater advantage
by commending his efforts in cur be-
half than in deIracting.
In walk through the printing office
you will not have to wear glasses to see
a Negroes fsce-they are everywhere,
am sure you want to be just 10 all
mankind and [, as your friend and an
admirer of the Hon. Frank W. Palmer.
respectfully ask that you give credit
where credit is due.
Yours truly,

DEFAULTING TELLER

w. p. Dillingham;, president OF the Water
bury bank, announced Monday evening af-
ter Bank Examiner Fish had been through
the books that no further discoveries of adj
diional def,lcations had been made and
that the figures bt first reported were, 30
far as now known, substantially correct
The bank will not be opened for business
until Thursday.
G. N. Arms of this city, one OF the direc-
tors of the bank, stated to a JOURNAL
reporter that Cashier Wells bondsmen
were not Waterbury men, as was Incorrect
ly stated in another local paper, but were
Edward, Henry and Fred II. Wells, broth
ers Of the cashier, and members of the Bur-
lington firm of Wells, Richardson q Co ,
and with them j. W. Brock of this city.
This bond has been considered 80 good that
1t has not not been renewed from year to
year for some years, but simply approved
and allowed to stand as originally drawn.
1t is also said to have been matter Of
common knowledge in certain qua ters at
least, that for some time past the defaulting
teller has been one of a pool Of five men
who have INDUCED in speculations, sharing
alike in the profits or losses from their VEN
lures. This has given rise to the theory
that Farrar may not have been alone in the
depredations at the bank but may have been
a tool In other hands.
Surprise has been expressed on every
hand that it was possible for teller OF a
bank to be able to cover up on the books OF
the bank peculations Of this magnitude and
long standing as it has been believed that
only one occupying higher position could
have effected such a change in the books
This is explained to a great extent when it
is remembered that Farrar was above re-
proach and was trusted implicitly by the
cashier and other officials and thus had an
unusual opportunity to get in his work If 30
minded.
A dispatch received Tuesday from Bos-
ton says:
"John G. Farrar, alleged defaulting teller
Of the Waterbury, VT, National bank, was
arrested last night at the Quincy House by
Boston officers and lodged in the tombs
over night as a fugitive from justice. He
was released from detention this morning,
on the recognition of Deputy Sheriff Tracey
of Montpelier, for his safe conduct to YER
mont. The party left for Vermont on the
eleven o'clock train"

AN OLD FIRM,

The present spring marks decade in the
tenure OF service of George b. Peck with
the well and favorably known hardware
firm of Barrows & Peck with which he
became connected in the spring of 1890.
This firm, which stands as the pioneer in
its line in the city and also as one OF the
soundest and most conservative business
concerns In the State has been for years the
headquarters of such goods as are found in
we'll appointed hardware store. The
business has increased year by year. While
Mr.. Peck Is q young man, he is alive to the
provements along certain lines from time
to time which have been adopted by the
firm to its benefit. So much 80, that today
1t stands as the leading hardware store in
this vicinity.
Its stock is replete this season with seas
enable goods such as agricultural and me-
chanical implements and paints and oils Of
standard quality at reasonable prices.
In its early history, the firm suffered
some draw backs which would have ruined
less staunch concern. In the spring Of
1875, Montpelier's first great fire consumed
the building occupied by the firm. The
frame of new building was hardly in
place when, six weeks later, the second
visitation of the fire hend wiped that out
also. Not deferred by disaster in single or
double doses the firm reared the present
building it occupies.
@. Barrows, is so much of landmark that q
few words as to his career will be interesting.
He was born in Lebanon, N. H., February
4, 1919, and was educated in the public
schools there. Although ninety-one years
Of age, Mr.. Barrows is still an active man in
business and can be seen almost daily at the
store.
He lived on his fathers farm until six
teen years Of age, when he was apprenticed
in the bakers business at Hanover, n. II
wnere he worked until the fall OF 1888. He
then came to Montpelier and drove crack
er team for Hyde & Co. In 1848 he pur-
chased the baking establishment of Cross &
Hyde and continued the business until
1854, when he sold out to O. III. Cross 8,
Son, the present owners. From 1854 to
1868 he was associated with the late j. r,
Langdoni in the flour business. In 1869
Mr.. Barrows formed partnership with
George A Peck, his son-in-law, in their
present line of business. Mr.. Peck had pre-.
viously been associated with w. +. Braman
and as he had learned the timers trade
this, combined with his business ability
has made him most valuable member OF
| the firm.

BAKETEL ARRESTED

Sheriff Graves received telegram SUM-
day evening from an agent of the secret SER
vice in Montreal that Leon Burt Baketel
who skipped from Montpelier last Thurs
day night, leaving an unpaid board bill at
the Riverside and landlord mourning the
loss Of S120, had been arrested in Montreal.
The officer there said Baketel is willing to
retu to Montpelier without requisition
papers. Sheriff Graves left for Montreal at
300 this morning and will probably bring
the yonng man back this evening. He Had
$66 in United States money on his person
when he was arrested.
Leonard Love received letter Monday
from Presiding Elder Baketel, father OF
Leon. He says, in substance, that he has
helped his son to the full extent OF his abil-
ity and that he can do nothing more for
him. He also says that a sentence of eigh.
teen months in prison in Concord is hang.
ing over him and that Concord officers are
looking for him. IL this be fact, and Leon
comes to Montpelier with Sheriff Graves, II
is probable the Concord officers will come
here for him.
