Mr.. KEENAN, and the Gar.

The Car has issued a courteous
invitation to Mr.. George KEENAN, to
leave Russia, and Mr.. KEENAN, has
accepted with the usual alacrity of the
man who knows a great deal about
Siberia, says the Observer in HGrper's
Weekly. Frankly, cannot under
stand what the Gear hopes to gain by
sending Mr.. KEENAN, out of his domain,
for it is safe wager that the Ameri-
can knows a great deal more about
Russia than does Nicholas himself.
The proper course, it seems to me,
would have been for the ruler of all
the Russias to invite the explorer to
the palace for week or ten days, and
to let him deliver his series of illumi-
mating lectures on the Ways of the
Bear to a select family audience, con-
sisting of the Gar himself, the
Czarina, and the little Czardines, as a
friend of mine calls them. If Nicholas
were to do this, he would have a
chance to become a more enlightened
monarch than he is at present, and a
number of things he really ought TO
know would be brought to his atten-
ton, with results beneficial both to
himself and to the empire.

Inc heaI Names OF some Noted Rulers.
Suppose that some morning there
should appear in the newspapers
such an item as this: ''Mr. and Mrs.
Albert E. Victim, accompanied by
their nephew, Mr.. Frederick W. V. A.

Liverpool for New York" How many
people would give more than pass

Yet it would be piece of news cal
culated to throw the people of New
York, and the whole of this country,
in fact, into a paroxysm Of excite

must be admitted when the names of
King Edward VII, Queen Alexandra,

are respectively substituted for the

LETTER TO c. GILMAN.

Dear Sir: There was a time when IL paid a
painter 10 paint lead and oil, and fight shy of
anything else. That was when the market
was full of poor paints, and zine was unknown.
Now zinc has come in, lead and oil must
give way-it is too short lived.
There are two ways 10 use zinc; you can mix
it with lead in tub or buy Devoe lead and
zinc which is ground together by machinery.
If you mix your own lead and zinc, You gain
something; If you buy Devoe you gain more,
because machinery does better work than
hand mixing. Experience is worth some
thing. We've had lI6 years of it.
Yours truly,

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT IRA
REPORT.
TRADE

Inquiry in Vermont through Brad
streets Burlington representative,
reveals the following conditions
A feature which is quite conspicu
Gus in sections of the state is a search
ty of workmen. In some branches of
industry, particularly in the slate and
in the granite districts, active demand
for products has resulted in full en-
ployment of labor and at present suf-
fcient help is difficult to obtain. The
weather has been warm the past week
and more Or less rain has fallen. On
the whole, late crops are looking we'll,
pasturage is good, and those indus
tries which are general throughout
the state, such as lumber, creamery
and agricultural lines are in good con-
dition. In Burlington business is sub
stantially the same as last week.
There is good demand for staples in
the wholesale lines and collections are
good. Retail trade is fairly active and
prospects are good for both jobbing
and retail trade. Business in nearly
the marble interests are tested to
their full limit to fill orders, and the
money put in circulation through
their pay rolls tends to materially in
crease the volume Of local trade.
Nearly all other lines of manufa cture
consisting of scale works, machine
shops, creamery supplies etc. are
busy. In Poultney and Fair Haven
where is cent9red the principal slate
business in the state, the quarries and
mills are being tested to foil capacity.
There is large demand for roofing
slate which is the leading finished
product Of Poultney and stocks are
very low. In Fair Haven the mills are
busy in the manufacture of slate for
electrical and other purposes. Retail
lines which are largely dependent, in
directly, upon the slate business, are
correspondence prosperous. IN st.
Johnsbury the scale works are we'll
employed and other lines of manufac
ture are busy. Retail trade and col
lections fair. Business is good at St.
Adams. The weather has been favor
able for the sale of light clothing
which is ma nufactured here. Collec-
tions good. Stone cutters and other
mechanics and laborers are we'll en-
ployed at Barre. Retail trade as usual.
Collections fair to good. Manufacture
ing interests at Montpelier are active
and collections reported fair. At
Springfield business is very active in
the machine shops. Collections re-
ported excellent and retail trade is
good. Brattleboro reports business in
all lines unchanged from last week,
with collections fair.
BrGdstreet's Journal in summing up
the conditions at large says:
evidence multiplies that the tide
of trade has turned, and that it is now
setting strongly in the direction of an
enlarged business at steady Or higher
prices. At the great Eastern centers
distribution is going forward in as
good, if not better, volume than a
year ago. A more favorable view of
CrOp results, cOuIInu0u SOOO rallrOaU
earnings, and the growing belief that
the steel strike will soon be ended,
create renewed confidence. Bank
clearings show gain of per cent.
over last week, of 35 per cent. over
this week year ago and of 10 per
cent. over 1899. Net railway earnings
for the half year are 1919 per cent.
over year ago.

Big Fire at Hammond Packing
Plant Near Chicago.

Chicago. Oct 24.-Fire attacked the
packing houses of the G. H. Hammond
company. at Hammond, Ind, last night
and within an hour gained such head
way that the destruction of the plant
was feared. The Hammond fire depart
ment and the private fire fighting corps
of the packing company were unable
to cope with the flames and an emery
ency call was sent to Chicago and
South Chicago Four engines of the
Chicago department were loaded upon
a special train on the FIT. Wayne road
and hurried over cleared tracks to the
burning district. Aid was also sent
from South Chicago.
The fire began at the south end of
the plant in an old frame house used
as the beef killing department. In an
hour the car shops, oiling rooms beef
killing department and blacksmith
shops were destroyed. 1t then seemed
that the fire had burned itself out, but
in a few minutes the four-story brick
building containing the cooling rooms,
one of the company's largest buildings
of the plant. was burning.
The fire was got under control at
1880 o'clock, after four departments of
the plant had been destroyed. Loss,
$500, 900.

THE LATEST SWINDLE.
Lightning Rod Schemers Use
Galvanic Battery on Victim.

Wellington, Oct 24.-The Mail says:
A story of an aged Greene township
farmer being rendered unconscious by
means of galvanic battery, signing a
note for $3.50 while stunned, lying un-
conscious for hours in his field, being
found late at night by his wife and
daughter, of a deranged mind and the
recovery of the note by his wife's use
of a shotgun, has reached this city
Mr.. Jones was blowing in his field af-
ter dinner when stranger drove into
the field and asked whether he had
lightning rods on his house. Receiving
an affirmative answer, he asked about
the barn and was told that there were
rods on it. He then asked success
sively whether the farmer wanted it
rOdded, would pay $3-75 to have rods
put on it or would permit rods to be
put on it for nothing, to all of which
he made one answer. no.
The stranger then alighted from his
buggy and said he wanted to show him
how near lightning could come to
house without striking it He pro-
duced what proved to be a galvanic
battery, and induced the farmer to take
hold of the handles. Immediately a
terri cficurrent of electricity was turned
which doubled the old man all up.
He called and begged the stranger to
stop. All that he knows now of what
happened after that is that he signed
some sort of paper.
Night came on and the farmer did
not come home. Waiting anxiously I'M
til after O'Clock, his wife and daugh-
ter became alarmed and went to the
field to hunt him. They found him ly
ing unconscious on the ground where
he had lain for fully seven hours. He
was taken to the house and finally par
tally regained consciousness, but his
mind was all wrong. He talked inco-
herently, and those about him thought
that he had become insane from some
cause.
The next afternoon. two men drove
into the yard in a lightning rod wagon
and inquired whether that was where
the man lived who had ordered light
ming rods his barn yesterday. The
wife said No, that no lightning rods had
been ordered there.
BY this time the good wife compre-
hended the situation. She directed her
daughter to go into the house and get
the shotgun. At the same time she de-
manded of the stranger the paper
which her husband had signed the day
before. They at first denied that he
had signed anything, then they denied
them that they would never leave the
premises alive without surrendering
that paper.
They then offered to surrender the pa
per if she would accom- pany them into
the house and burn it in their pres
ence. She consented. The paper was
produced. 1t was promissory note for
$3.50, signed by her husband. She kept
her word She carried it into the house
and burned it in their presence and
they hurried away.

it was his especial concern to clear her.
Speaking of the ranges used during
the engagement he said that they
changed SO rapidly he could not under
take to give them and he at last told the
officers to decide the range for them
selves.
Capt Clark was also questioned re-
garding his statement in chief that the
Brooklyn had at one time during the en-
gagement engaged four different YES
sells, and confirmed his previous test1-
mony, saying that she was alongside all
four of the enemy's ships, and in re-
Spouse to a question from Mr.. Hanna
as to whether there were not other
American vessels engaged at the same
time, he replied that for some time
after the Viscaya went ashore and
when only the Colon was left of the en-
emy's vessels, the Oregon did fire, and
that when she did resume the work
only the 13-inch guns were used, with
the exception of one or two shots from
the S-inch guns in the forward turret.
did you fire the 13-inch gun in pur--
suance of a signal from the Brooklyn"
Mr.. Hanna asked, and the witness
replied: mo; the 13-inch guns were
board the Oregon. I had feared
damage to the gun mechanism and
hesitated to use the guns, but decided
to do so. If any signal was made from
the Brooklyn, did not see it and 1t
was not reported to me-
At this point the court took a recess
for luncheon.
Capt Clark resumed the witness stand
after luncheon. AS he took his seat Ad
miral Dewey remarked to those near
him, ut is the best house yet"
Capt. Lemly announced that he had
no further questions.
Mr.. Rayner asked: Were any of the
Spanish vessels run ashore, or destroy
ed in the channel as provided in the
standing squadron orders, to close in
and destroy the enemy in the channel?"
mo, sir

ROCK ISLAND WRECK.
Thirteen Cars of a Freight in the
Ditch Near Wellington.

Wellington, Oct. 24--Further details of
the Rock Island wreck at Zyba are be-

second section of No. 80, a local south
bound freight that went in the ditch
Tuesday evening. Thirteen cars were

track were torn up. The southbound
passengers, due in Wellington at 4:16
and 7:5S, and the northbound passenger,
due to leave here at o'clock. were run
over the Santa F'e track between Well
