men the full right to quit any merchant
vessel on which the service has been
obnoxious to him and for universal la
bells.
After the resolution had been referred
to the proper committees a recess was
taken until the arrival of Edward #.
Nc Sweeney, deputy commissioner of
immigra ton at the port of New York,
who addressed the delegates. He re-
viewed the history of emigration from
the time of the downfall of the Roman
empire to the present and then explain
ed the method of enforcing the emigra-
ton laws. The spirit of the law. he
said, is being violated "by the whole
Sa1e.''
He recalled the railroad wreck in
Michigan last week in which a large
number of emigrants were killed and
asserted that these emigrants were no
doubt under contract to work in
Colorado, to which state they were en-
route when their lives were crushed out.
Speaking of the Chinese exclusion act,
Mr.. Nc Sweeney said the Japanese
should also be excluded from the United
States because they are more undeSir
able than are the Cinnamon. In con-
cluSion he said that the emigration laws
should be revised and reconstructed
from the beginning by experts. All the
pending legislation before congress to
remedy the present evils will only make

address, recess was taken until p. M

SIXTY RESOLUTIONS.
Much Ahead of the American
Federation of Labor.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 6.-The first hour
of the second days session of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor today was ta-
ken up by the calling of the roll and
the reception of large number of res

of the most important is brought by
Francis Dispagnas of the Mosaic Work
ers union against the seating of D. s
Wood, president of the Ceramic, Mosaic
and Encaustic Tile Workers Internal
tional union
Dispagnas' fight against President
Wood is not personal but one over the
question of jurisdiction in laying cera-
mic tiles. The Mosaic Workers union
claims the sole right to lay such mater
iaI and took the question before the
Louisville convention of the federation
last December Mr.. D1spagnas claims
that the matter was referred to the ex-
ecutive council of the federation. which
body advised him to try to adjust the
difficulty with the Tile Layers union.
He states that he has made every en-
deavor to that end but that he failed
and the convention will decide the case

The house of DR. C. B. Lyon, 1901

DR.. and Mrs. Lyon had spent the even

IL. AT DR.. Lyon was awakened from
a sound sleep by the sound of some one
walking in the sitting room, which is
directly under his bedroom. He asked
who was there, and receiving no an
swer took his gun and fired out of the
window. The officer on that beat was
soon at the Lyon home, but the man
had made good his escape. Entrance
was effected through one of the win
dowS in the sitting room, as since the
house was painted all of the windows
have been left unlocked. This is the
third time within the past five years
that DIR. Lyons house has been entered
for the purpose of robbery. The first
time all the Silverware was taken, and
the second time Mrs. Lyon lost con-
siderable jewelry. Suspicion points to

as when the officer was coming to the
house he saw a colored man going in
unseemly haste from the direction of
the Lyon home, and when asked why
he seemed in such a hurry he answered
something about wanting to get there.

sion to go to the barn one morning and
she found a colored man in the harness

Meeting For That Purpose to
BE Held in Topeka.
South African Situation to Be
Discussed by Local Orators.

Arbitration of the South African dis
pute, with the president of the United
States and the queen of Holland as
the arbitrator is the suggestion made
by the December number of the Cos

In pursuance to that suggestion
monster mass meeting will be called in

Captain J. G. Waters and others set

present will be asked to sign the fol-
lowing petition, suggested by the Cos
mopOlitan:
We, of the city of Topeka, assem-
bled in sympathy with the sufferings
being endured in the South African
war, hereby petition our English
brothers to join with US in asking the
appointment of the president of the

shall be committed the settlement of

ingly death and hardship for the same
own war of independence. The English
people, with whom we have such close
ties of friendship, have been placed by
short-sighted politicians in the false
and ruinous position of seeking to
destroy a brave Republic with whose
interests England would have been in
harmony had there been intelligent
negotiations.

thousand additional men being drilled

and that the commons will shortly be
called upon to add another hundred
million of taxes.

Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1901-08-30

The pitiful degradation of William
A. Lord of Montpelier is one of the
most striking object lessons in tenn
perance that has been brought home to
Vermonters in recent years. A grad
uate of Dartmouth, a lawyer with a
brilliant mind, and endowed with those
qualities which attract and win men,
he might have stood in the front rank
of the men who have made and who
are making Vermont known as a
nursery of leaders. For years he was
held in the fetters of a habit formed
in his youth. The Kelley cure seemed
to give him an opportunity to start
afresh. His townsmen, rejoicing in
his apparent rehabilitation, elected
him to the legislature, where his col
leagues honored him by election as
speaker. Later he was appointed ma
tional bank examiner, and a career of
honor and usefulness seemed opened
before him. Two years ago he resign
ed his official position and some of his
friends knew then that he had gone
back to his old ways. Several weeks
ago he abused and threatened to kill
the wife to whom in a normal condi-
tion he was loving and indulgent.
Upon advice of friends Mrs. Lord left
home. Believeing that she had gone
to relatives in Woburn, Mass, Mr..
Lord journeyed there, and not finding
her strayed to Boston and Cambridge.
He was arrested in the latter city, and
was so violent that he had to be
placed in a padded cell. An examina-
tion showed that he was insane and he
was committed to the Danvers asylum,

nesday afternoon at the home of the

the same town was best man. The
bride was gowned in white and carried

maid also wore white The marriage
service was followed by a recitation.

Only Live Men Wanted.

Apropos of the abandoned-and-mo
gaged-farm problem, w. D. Howells in
"a Traveller in Altruria" makes one
of his characters say, when a man
finds he can't get his funeral expenses
out of the land he don't feel like stay
ing to be buried in it and he pulls up
and goes"
Goes where? Come to think of it,
however, it doesn't really matter.
Vermont hasn't any particular use for
a man whose chief purpose in life is to
"get his funeral expenses out of the
land" Howells' man is evidently dead
anyway, and that's probably what's
the matter. There is plenty of room
yet as there are plenty of chances in
Vermont and in the other New Eng
land states for live men, men who are
devising means for getting a living
and are so busy at it that they are not
worrying about funeral expenses.
After all, when you come to consider
it, the expense attending ones funeral
is the last thing in this world to worry
about anyway.

Gov. Odell. who has recently COM
pleted his trip of inspection to the
state institutions of New York, is
astounded at the evidences of eXtrava-
gance on every side, and is said to
have determined to make retrencn-
ment and reform the main issue of his
next message. The state expenses
have increased in six years from $751;
713,57S to $23,9S6,S77, while the cost
to the insane has increased four times,
with no additional benefits to the pa
tients. There seems to be a fad among
state officials to have separate houses
erected for their own accommodation
from state funds, and large sums have
been squandered in the erection of
buildings for patients. The tendency
to recklessness' in handling public af-
fairs is a weakness confined to no
party and to no section. One of the
great problems of public life is to find
officials who will deal with matters of
the nation, the country and the com
munity as they would with a private
or personal trust.
