A careful count shows about 125, 600
colored people of all shades in the

An Excellent Appointment.

In appointing Hon. Elvin M.
Bartlett, of Island Pond, to succeed
Hon. L. D. Hazen, of ST. Johnsbury,
as a director of State Penal institu-
tions, Governor Smith has shown ex-
ce11ent judgment. Mr.. Bartlett is
one of the leading young business
men in mercantile lines of the State,
besides being a director in the Island
Pond National bank and largely in
terested in the pulp business at Dal-
ton. He represented Brighton i'll the
legislature of 1894, and was State
Senator from Essex County in 1898.
He is the present Grand Master of the
the Grand Lodge of Vermont, l. O.
o. F., and president ex-officio of
Trustees of the Gill Odd Fellows
Home at Ludlow. In all places of
trust that Mr.. Bartlett has occupied
he has displayed unusual judgment
and acumen, and will acceptably fill
this responsible position.

THAT ANTITRUST PLANK.
Democratic Leaders Displeased With
the Criticisms OF the Lincoln
Platform.

NEW YORK. March ga special to
the Times from Washington says;
Democratic leaders are displeased
with the criticisms Of the antitrust
plank in the democratic platform
adopted recently at Lincoln, Neb. They
say that the complaints that it is in
difinite, are absurd.
Senator Jones, OF Arkansas. chair
man OF the national committee, in
speaking OF the assertion that the
plank proposed no remedy for the So
called trust evil. said:
That complaint is nonsense. The
people who make it seem to think that
it is the duty of conventions to frame
bills. The platform is not supposed to
contain statutes or to draft legislation.
and il it ever does so it goes beyond
its function. A platform approves or
condemns policies. The antitrust plank
in this platform puts the party which
adopted it on record as opposed to
trusts anu IN IdNoT Ol dCNlOu dSalilSl
them. That is sufficient. The legis-
lation to carry out its demands is a
matter not for the platform makers.
but for congress"
Mr.. Jones was asked whether he
thought the Nebraska plank condemn
ing municipal ownership could prop
erly be inserted in a national platform
in view of the fact that it is a matter
affecting only local communities.
"A national platform" said the sena-
tor. can express approval Of or sym
pathy with anything. AS to that plank
l think democrats generally look with
approval on the attempts made to
bring the United States to the Euro
pean standard in this respect. While
l was in Europe last summer / found
that our backwardness in adopting
municipal ownership was matter for
amusement and wonder. They consid-
er US behind the times"

POLICEMAN AS A TARGET.
Mrs. McMallen Attempts to Switch
From Cold Steel to an Officer.

Mrs. Nora McMallen, who conducts
a shooting gallery on Astor street,
between Sixth and Seventh, occupies
a cell in the city Jail with a charge
OF using obscene and abusive language
lodged against her. How she can be
detained on such a charge is not read
lily understood as the woman commit
ted a much greater offense.
She had been engaged in a wordy
row with a Chinaman and the atten-
ton of officer Philips was attracted
by the alteration. When the officer
made inquiries of Mrs. McMallen as to
the difficulty, the woman directed her
vocal batteries at Phillips, using the
most abusive language. The officer
demonstrated and endeavored to pacify
the woman but instead Of desisting she
grasped a revolver off the shelf and,
setting the trigger, ordered Phillips
from the building. The officer sue
ceeded in taking this from her but
she Immediately picked up shotgun
and brandished it threateningly. Officer
Phillips was too quick for her, however,
and in an instant he had the woman
under control and dragged her to the
police station.

all the prisoners admitted they were

to be trying to secure work. Allen, on
account Of the loss Of his arm, said
he was incapaciated from doing man

job. They all plead guilty to the charge
against them.
Judge Nelson said that no man need

Judge Nelson said that it was evil

During the night, and alter the Jones
woman had gone to her room to retire, Tay-
lor entered the house by rear door and
crept up stairs into the room occupied by the
woman and, without much warming, he drew
II revolver and fred two shots. One ball en-
tered the abdomen. while the second was
sent into her arm.
Attracted by the firing, Hannah Scott
rushed into he room. Taylor turned the
revolver upon her, and before she could es-
cape was struck in the back by bullet.
