Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-03-30

There are II oaks in New England and
these may be divided into two groups, the
white oaks and the black oaks. There
are six white oaks and five black. The
white oak, the swamp white, the messy
nut and the post oak belonging to
the first group, and the black oak,
the red, the scarlet, the pin, and the bear,
or scrub-oak belong to the second group.
These are the general characteristics of
the oaks in winter: The oak is distin-
guished from all other trees by its acorn.
The upper lateral buds cluster at the top
of a twig They have tendency toward
being five-sided in shape. The bud scales
are close and overlapping. The leaf-scars
project from the stem. The bundle-scars
are scattered over the leaf-scar. The pith
is five angled-cut a twig across and see
the pith in the form of five-rayed star in
the centre. The leaves very often remain
on the tree all winter.
The distinguishing characteristics of
the white oaks and the black oaks are as
follows: The bark of the white oaks is
lighter in color than that of the black
oaks, and it flakes off in strips, instead of
breaking away in coarse ridges, as it does
in the black oaks. The acorns of the white
oaks mature in one year, those of the
black oaks take two years to ripen, so
that these young acorns are found on the
branches of the black oaks in winter.
The leaves of the white oak have rounded
lobes, the lobes of the black oak leaves are
tipped with sharp bristle point Bos-

Double LynehIng In virginia.

The reign Of excitement in Greensvile
county, Va, eliminated Saturday in a
double lynching at Emporis Both Cotton,
the negro, who according to his own con
fession, killed Saunders and Welton, and
O'Grady, the white man, who was with
him in the cabin when the killing occurred
were banged by mob, varousy estmat-
ed at from 1900 to 1000 strong
Saturday morning che sheriff of the
county discharged from duty the military
that had been sent from Richmond at his
request, and Major Cuthins, in command
of the troops, notified Gov. Tyler, stating
at the same time that he believed that if
the prisoners were left unprotected by the
military they would be lynched The Gov
ernor replied as follows. The sole re
sponslbility is on the sheriff. If he orders
you to withdraw you can do nothing but
obey We have done everything possible
to uphold law aud prevent mob violence,
and are still prepared TO render any aid
necessary.
Accordingly Major Cutchins entrained
his men and started for Richmond. Hard
~ was the special out of sight when a moi
entered the Jail, took Cotton, hanged him
to the limb of a tree and fired severa
bullets into his body.
Later, despite the protests of cooler
heads who claimed that the guilt of tn,
white man had not been established, anoth-
er crowd, composed largly of negroes, en-
tered the Jail, overcame the resistance OF
the few that tried to protect O'Grady took
| him out and hanged him also.
The three other prisoners whom Cotton
| charged with having committed the Blich
murder and robbery, were discharged by
/ the Judge and left town.

The total number of delegates IT, lh2
convention will be 7Sj.
senator Proct or and Porto Rico.


From the burlington rec lress
1t is very evident that Senator Proctor
is making vigorous fight for the adoption
of President McKinley's original recon-
mendation for the extension of our tariff
laws TO Porto Rico, OF in other words, the
establishment OF free trade between that
island and other American territory. When
he told the Republican caucus that Yer
mont was for free trade with Porto Rico
and that he could not accept anything else,
he took a position in which he knew he
would be fully sustained not only by his
own constituents but also by a very con-
siderable proportion of the Republicans
throughout the country. The character of
the work which Senator Proctor is doing
in this good cause is indicated by The
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Herald in the following statement:
"Senators Proctor of Vermont and FL
kins of West Virginia, who are regarded
as among the shrewdesl politicians in the
Senate, and especially noted for their skill
in reading the public pulse, are working
vigorously for free trade with Porto Rico
as absolutely demanded by the great ma
iority of the Republicans and indispensa-
BILE from a party point of view. Today
Senators Proctor and Elkins called upon
President Mckinley and presented their
views very strongly to him."
The position of those Senators who are
striving for fair treatment for the Porto
Ricans has been strengthened by the discov-
cry that the Dingley tariff on Porto Rico's
European imports will furnish the revenue
for which so great a clamor has been made,
as well as by the public demonstrations
which have just been held in Porto Rico.
Senator Proctor is on the right side and
we hope the right may win.

$4,000 Fire Loss IA, Montpelier.

The new brick and granite block at the
corner of Main and State streets in Mont
peler which has been in the process of
construction for the last year by the ex-
ecutor of James X. Langdon estate, and
which was nearly ready for occupancy,
was Quilted by fire at an early hour Friday.
The origin of the fire is a mystery, but as
it started between floors it is believed to
have been caused by electric light wires.
The damage is estimated at $4,000. The
whole interior of the rooms which were to
be occupied Apr. l by the Montpelier Saw
ings bank and the Union Mutual Fire In
surance company will have to be rebuilt.
The costly furniture and fittings were en-
tirely ruined. The northern half of the
block, which was to have been occupied
Apr. by A. d. Farwell, clothier, and the
Apollo club, was only slightly damaged by
smoke and steam. The loss is covered by
insurance.

Secretary Long on Porto Rico.

In that part of his recent speech in Bos
ton, in which he discussed the Porto Rican
affairs, Secretary Long said
"My own view, like that expressed by
the President in his message, is that, in
regard to Porto Rico, there should have
been free trade, not as constitutional
right, but as discreet act of Congress.
Congress is entitled to exercise its judg-
ment without being held to the partisan
cry that it is acting from dishonorable
motives or under interested influences. At
present the Dingley bill is operative. The
proposition is to reduce this 50 per cent,
and not as some seem to think, to impose
- per cent. There is strength in the ar
gument for this small customs tariff on i'm
ports from Porto Rico, that it is the easiest
way for the internal expenditures of Porto
Rico to be raised. There is no justifica-
ton in charging the United States with
unfairness or injustice in adopting this.
Rome was not built in day, and the Re-
publican party is not to be turned down
because in a single year it cannot make a
paradise; but it can be trusted TO deal hon
estly, fairly and righteously with Porto

Loss Of SOC. 600 to Central Vermont.

Fire destroyed the Central Vermont
freight warehouse and pier and 3S freight
cars at New London, Conn, early Friday
morning. The fire started in the checkers
room from some unknown cause. Forum
ately there was little freight on hand, as
the steamer for New York had taken her
usual cargo a few hours bsfore, and the
steamer from New York had just arriv-
ed and had not unloaded. The steamer
Mohegan of the Central Vermont line was
badly scorched before she could be re.
moved out into the stream. The loss is es
timated at S50,000
