LETTER TO IRA A. WASHBURN.
(Montpelier, w.

Dear Sir: There ives time when 1t
paid q painter to paint lead and oil, and
fight shy of anything else, That was when
the market Yves full OF poor paints, and
zinc was unknown.
Now zinc hes come in, lead and oil must
give way-it is too short lived.
There are two ways to use zinc; you
can mix it in with lead in tnb or buy
Devoe lead and ziuo, which is ground
together by machinery.
II you mix your own lead ard ziLc, you
gain something; il you buy Devoe you
gain more, becauae machinery does better
work than hand mixing. Experience is
worth something. We've had 146 years
of it, Yours truly,

THE SPEECHES.

Shortly after two O'Clock the speakers of
the day were taken to the grounds in car
riages and given seats on the platform.
Mayor j. G. Brown presided at the formal
exercises. Before introducing the speakers
he said he was glad to say that little rain
or anything else little damp does not dis
turb the people of Montpelier. Labor day
hes been observed in other States for sever
eral years. The Vermont legislature OF
1898 made the day legal holiday, and since
that time It has been observed as such in
several municipalities and towns. On this
occasion he was very glad to assist in the

CHAPTER w.

The morning sun striking through the
eastern window Of a hotel room shone
full upon the face of a woman who lay
sleeping there. She was dressed as for
the street, but her hair was loose and
fell about her shoulders in cleaning,
golden masses. Even in the trying
light upon 1t her face was beautiful.
Perfectly oval, it possessed combi-
nation OF dark shadings rarely found
in blonde types, and the even brows
wers as delicate as though penciled
by an artist, Upon her cheeks lay long,
dark iashes. Sleeping, she seemed
scarcely more than a girl in age, tho
few lines upon her face fading out Of
prominence; and yet there was WON.
anliness in her trim, settled figure that
told of years not otherwise to be sus-
pected.
The bell Of a tower clock near al
hand rang ont loudly the hour. The
sleeper stirred uneasily, opened her
eyes, and Instantly, as full conscious
ness returned, bounded from the bed
TO the floor. In the quick look she
gave to her surroundings terror was
apparent. A moment later she had
pulled shs bell-cord and Was waiting.

Richmond at the time these events
were occurring was in a tumult of ex-

north and south in congress had long
since reached the acute stage, and
preparations were forming for that
titanic struggle which was to shake
America for four long years South
Carolina had led Off, followed by Ala

Louisiana and Texas. The capital OF
the confederacy was in the far south
and while no one expected that Rich

A RAID ON NATAL IS FEARED

LONDON, Nov. 13-Mr. Brodrick, the
british war secretary, speaking tonight
at a banquet given in London in his
honor by the City Carlton club, deoiar-
ed that the Beers were hiding their tracks
bv numbering the Kafirs behind them
Lord Kitchener wired today, ne con-
tinued, "that the cold-blooded murder oI
natives had become frequent OF late, ana
that two dead natives, their hands tieo
behind their backs, were found NOV. III
at the bottom of mine shaft.
Later in his speech, Mr.. Brodrick said
Great Britain now had $4,000 Beers in
custody in the concentration camps ana
on various islands, and that ll,0OO more
had been killed or wounded, or had lett
the country on parole. He added that ne
believed the number Of Beers now IN the
field was about 10000.
1.-The country has set its teeth and in
tends to go through the process OF wear
ing them down." he exclaimed. I'VE m
tend to provide Lord Kitchener with
fresh troops to replace the tired ones.
Only today a certain colony made an or
fer of help
Mr.. Brodrick said he was sorry any,
thing had happened to affect the career
of Sir Redvers Butler, and he assured
Evelyn Wood was not bar to the work
that officer had to do as commander of
an army corps.
Peace negotiations are reported from
every quarter except Botha's headquar-
ters in the saddle The National Liberal
Federation is agitating for full and ex-
plicit declaration of terms from Downing
street, but this is a political maneuver
decided upon by the pro-Boers. There is
a story that the Beers in arms have ap-
preached Kitchener and have intimated
a desire for peace without any reference
to Kruger, Steyn or BOtha, but this is
transparent fiction, started for the pur-
pose of explaining Salisbury's yelled ref
erence to grounds of confidence which he
could not lay bare. There can be no peace
while 5000 Beers and Cape rebels hold
the field under a dozen or more guerrilla
leaders. Kitchener's last report shows
how scattered these forces are, and how
narrow is their range of operations. De-
wet has reappeared in quarter of the
Orange River Colony where he can CO.
operate with Botha, and it is surmised
that another attempt to raid Natal is
impending.
The recent address of Charles Francis
Adams, of Boston, drawing an analogy
between the conditions in South Africa
and those in the United States at the
time of the AppomattoX surrender, and
showing that Lee refused to sanction
guerrilla warfare because he considered
it immoral and unchristian has produced
a deep impression here. The Imperial
South African association has decided to
reprint the text of the address in,
pamphlet form for the benefit of pro-
Boer sympathizers.

LONCBAUCH IDENTIFIED
MEN WHO WE'RE ON TRAIN HELD
UP RECOGNIZE HIM
Personally Held Up Engineer and
Fireman and Superintended the
Dynamiting of the Ex-
press Safe.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov 13.-The Novem-
Der federal grand jury today returned
lndictments against Harry Longbaugh,
alias John Arnold, the mysterious Mon
tana train robber suspect and his COM
panion, Laura Bullion They were in
dicted on seventeen separate counts each.
Charles H. Smith and William O'Neill,
express messenger and fireman respect
lively of the Great Northern flyer that
was held up last July near Wagner,
Mont, arrived here this afternoon and
identified the suspect under arrest as
Harry Longbaugh, the man who held
up the train and took the lead in intim-
tdating the train crew and blew open
the express company's safe, from which
100000 in unsigned bills of the National
Bank of Helena We're stolen.
O'Neill says that Longbaugh is the man
who climbed over the tender and held
up Engineer Jones and himself and then
superintendent the blowing up of the safe.
His recollection of the episode was so
vivid that he could describe the two re-
volvers that the robber used. The police
say they are the same weapons that
were found Oh the prisoner when he was
arrested
Smith and O'Neill came to St Louis
accompanied by D. F. Elliott, general
manager of the Great Northern Express
company, in whose care the bank notes
were when stolen.
Longbaugh never f1inched when the
Identification was made He merely look
eG at the men and shifted contemptuous-
ly. Chief Desmond asked Longbaugh his
real name. 81 will talk when the time
ccmes,'' was the reply, and not another
word could the chief get out of the stub
bern prisoner.
'I first saw this man when we were
about 800 yards out of Malta" said Mi
ckael F. O'Neill, the fireman. 'I was
sboveling coal, and I looked up and saw
him coming over the tender. He had a
big pistol in his left hand, and a smaller
one in his right hand. When he saw that
I saw him, he covered me with his pistol
and told me to go on with my work. He
kept one pistol ON me and the other on
Engineer Jones"
Fireman O'Neill then related in detail
the story of the robbery adding: After
lcoting the safe and getting the money,
they mounted horses standing close by
and they rode away on a gallop, shooting
ali the while
O'Neill said that for eight miles he rode
in the same cab with the suspect. He
studied his features carefully. He said
that when the robbery occurred Long
baugh had a short and stubby moustache.
1t did not seem so dark as it does now
Chief Desmond says that he now thinks
that the suspects real name is Ben Kill

OUARLES HAS REMEDIES
TO SUGGEST FOR BAD FEATURES
OF INDIAN POLICY.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 1s.-United
States Senator Joseph v. Quarles will
shortly leave for Washington to confer
with President Roosevelt on the Indian
question.
II believe that there should be a. COM
plete and radical change in the way this
country handles the, Indian, Mr.. Quarles
said today. ''The original laws made
for this purpose no longer apply Things
have changed in every direction. 1t
would be manifestly improper for me to
discuss the subject in advance of any
report to the president, but I may say
that 1 devoted large share of the sum-
mer to a study of the Indian and the
treatment accorded him. whether as a
serni-civifized or. semi-savage parsonage.
I can see wherein the present system is
at fault and am prepafed to suggest rem
edies.'

TWO HUNDRED CLERKS, AGENTS

sand Carriers to BE In
cIuded Later On.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s13-About 200 en-
ployes in the executive. branch of the
rural free delivery service of the post
office department will be brought into the
civil service by an order of President
Roosevelt, which, it issunderstood. will
be issued within a week or two. These
employees are clerks, special agents and
inspectors.
The 5000 rural free delivery carriers
throughout the. country will not be
brought into the civil service under the
same order, but they will be taken in at.
some later date Their civil service status
is likely to be somewhat different from
that of those first included, though the
form of the regulations governing them
has not yet been passed upon.

NOTED NATIONAL GUARD CASE SETTLED

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 1S.-The appel
late division of the supreme court hand
ed down a decision today in favor of
Mai. Clinton H. Smith, of the Seventy
first regiment, New York city, in the
legal proceedings which he instituted to
prevent the carrying out of the order
ousting him from the national guard. The
decision vacates the determination of
board of examiners of the national guard
which recommended that he be dismissed
from the service, which determination
was approved by Gov. Roosevelt. The de-
cision is based on an opinion of the court
of appeals rendered six months ago in
another phase of this case, holding that
Mai. Smith had not been given full oppor-
tunity by the board of examiners to pres
ent his side of the case properly. The
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-11-14

effect of today's decision Of the appellate
division is that the decision of the board
of managers that Maj. Smith be dismiss
ed from the service is overruled.
This case has attracted attention in
military circles ever since Gov. Roose-
velt issued a general order May l, 1899,
directing Maj. Smith to appear before a
board of examiners to be examined as to
his capacity and general fitness for serv-
ice in the national guard as commits
stoned officer. On the 10th day of May
following the board met in this city and
recommended his discharge from service
for unsoldierlke conduct at the battle of
San Juan. The governor approved the
adverse findings of this court and issued
a special order directing that Maj. Smith
be dismissed from the service.

TWO MURDERED MAIDS
Police OF INDIANA TOWN CANNOT
FIND THE MURDERER.

forts of the entire police and detective
forces of this city to find clew to the
murder or murderers of two women.
whose dead bodies were found laying In
d.tches by the roadside in opposite di-
rections from this city Tuesday night,
have proved unavailing. Several sus-
poets are under surveillance, but devel-
opments have not BEEN sufficient to war
rant the police in making arrests. While
it is thought both victims were killed
about the same hour, it is still believed
the women were slain by the same fiend.
One of the victims, Miss Renner, was
the daughter of highly respected parents.
