ALLEGED SHORTAGE

At the recent election OF officers OF the
Montpelier branch OF the National Granite
Cutters Union an entirely new board OF
officers was elected, resulting in the sup.
planting OF officers who had held their DO
sitions for term OF years.
Growing out OF this election there has
come an investigation OF the accounts of
the local branch as to the truth of reported
and alleged discrepancies or inaccuracies in
the cash accounts. 1t has been reported
that these alleged discrepancies would
amount to $1,000. Officers OF the branch
in position to know say that at present
everything Is In chaotic state and what
the amount Of the alleged discrepancies will
be is unknown.
The officers assert, however, that the &C
counts are in muddled and complex con-
dition and for that reason have been sub
mitted to special committee in Barre for
adjustment. This committee is composed
OF Fred Bruce, State organizer, and Will
liam Duthie, late State organizer. This
committee reported progress in the inves.
tigation at meeting Of the local branch
held Tuesday evening but to complete the
work the committee requires little longer
time in order that the investigation may be
fair and impartial to all concerned.
Ii the committee completes its work be-
fore the next regular meeting it is probable
special meeting will be called to act upon
it. Until the report OF the committee is
made the details in the matter cannot be
given.

NUMEROUS WORK.

LONDON, April 24.-The annual re.
turn of recruiting for the past year was
made public today. 1t shows q total
enlistment of 93,36l against 42,700 in
1899. The recruiting for the infantry
is regarded as unsatisfactory. In spite
of the impetus of the war and the re-
duction in the standard of height, the
number OF enlisted infantrymen is be-
low that of last year, the recruits gen.
orally having performed the Shower
branches Of the service.
CORK, April 24.-Two hundred of
the Royal Munster Fusiliers refused to
parade at Carlisle Fort on Tuesday as a
mark Of their disapproval for being
transferred from Spike Island to Car
Isle Fort. As a precautionary mea-
sure the officers of this battalion locked
up the mems arms and notified mill
tary headquarters at Spike Island Of
the occurrence. 1t is understood that
soldiers from another battalion will be
sent to Carlisle Fort TO bring the insub-
ordinate fusiliers under control.
LONDON, April 24.-Applications for
the new war loan continue to pour into
the Bank of England. The subscribers
on Tuesday though numerous were
mostly small investors. 1t is estimated
that the loan was subscribed for six or
seven times over, and it is expected the
list will be closed today as it is not de-
sired to lock up too much money.

ment to his previous work which was di.
gest OF the 49th to Goth Vermont Reports.

umes OF the reports published but no digest
has been issued. The proposed digest will
not only include the later reports but re-
digest OF those prepared by Mr.. Roberts.
The act, under which this work is to be
prosecuted, provides that the commission
may contract with any individual, associ-
alton or corporation for the making and
compiling OF such digest and for the delivery
OF not exceeding 400 copies to the State
librarian who will distribute them as is pro.
vided by law for the distribution OF the

BISHOP CRANSTON'S LECTURE

Bishop Earle Cranston lectured in Sem
mary chapel Tuesday evening on 1.-THE
Gross and the Dragon" to an audience that
filled nearly every seat. A short musical
programme by the students preceded the
lecture.
In opening Bishop Cranston compliment.
ed the young people OF his audience, paid
an appreciative tribute to the Vermont con-
ference just closed, and referred in choice
language to the beauty OF the natural seem
cry OF Vermont, upon which he had that
day been gazing. vermont" he said
certainly deserves its fair name that will
never be taken from her,"
The bishops lecture was devoted to ex-
listing conditions in Japan and China, and
to the customs OF the people OF these coun-
tries. Japan, he said, has not yet acquired
the essence OF civilization and will not be.
come what we call a civilized nation for
many years 10 come. II will be indeed a
slow process to christianize and civilize
that PEI pie. They are doing exceedingly
well in planting national schools, but the
process OF development is surprisingly
slow.
The lecturer then passed to Foochow,
China, giving vivid word picture of that
city, the burial customs OF the natives, their
supsrstitions, and their schools which are
80 attractive o an American. The practice
OF foot binding was described, and the
dread an eclipse OF the moon eLcites in the
breast OF native Chinsman. He believes
1t is the dragon swallowing the moon, and
with mysterious rites attempts to drive him
away, In which he is always eventually
successful
The bishop closed his lecture with de-
velopment OF the idea that America holds
the key to the heart OF China, and with an
eloquent tribute to the pioneer mission
aries.
Following the lecture a reception was
held in the society rooms, at which many OF
those present were introduced to Bishop
Cranston.

Pull up that tree by the roots and they all
die with it.
Group all these courses of suffering and
death "heart failure" with the rest, and
call the whole mass STOMACH FAILURE
and you have hit the nail on the head.
The digestive organs are the sparkling
fountain of life or the Dead Sea-iust as
you please.
In deep seated dyspepsia with organic
and nervous complications, even dieting
and much chewing will not answer the pur-
pose. The mischief is done. The stomach
must have the distinct and direct help that
lies in the use of Calcura Solvent, the new
medicine prepared by DR.. David Kennedy.
Its results are marvellous even in the worst
cases. 1t allays pain, promotes a free flow
of gastric secretion, gives immediate relief
and works radical cure. It is new in
theory and in its mode of action. All

THOMAS L. WOOD DEAD.

Thomas l.. Wood assistant State Librar-
ian, died at Randolph Thursday noon Of
dropsy at the home of W. s. Wood, his
brother, aged sixty-one years. Although
his sudden death was shock to his many
friends here, to those who have known him
most intimately 1t was not entirely unex-
pected. For more than two years Mr..
Wood had been i'll with the disease that
ended his life, and although he obtained
temporary relief, its inroads could not be
stayed and he was constant sufferer.
Mr. Wood was born in Randolph, August
l, 1889. He was educated in the Orange
County Grammar school and Newbury Sem
mary. Later he attended Connor's Com
merCial college at Boston. He studied law
with N. l. Boyden Of Randolph but never
was In active practice. He enlisted in Com
pany G, Tenth Vermont Regiment, in which
he served in the War Of the Rebellion.
Mr.. Wood never married. For many
years he had made his home at the Pavil-
ion. He was an active and popular men,
Der OF the Apollo club, and served six years
ago as its president. He was a communi
cant and constant attendant at Christ
church when his services were not called
for as tenor singer in the choirs of other
churches. Genial, good-uatnred, and &C.
commodating. both in official and private
life, Tom Wood" made friends on every
hand, and his death causes universal re-
greet.
He was appointed messenger In the State
library in 1876 and in 1878 was promoted to
assistant librarian, a position he held con-
tinuously until his death. In this position
he gained wide acquaintance with bench
and bar OF Vermont. Mr. Wood was
model librarian. Not only the location on
the shelves, but the contents of thousands
of volumes in the library were perfectly ia.
miliar to him, and his services to those
having business at the State library were
well nigh invaluable.
Funeral services under the auspices OF
the Masonic fraternity OF which he was a
were held at Randolph Satur-
day afternoon. Several OF his friends and
associates from this city attended.
