DEFINING A PEDDLER.

State Treasurer j. l.. Bacon has called
the attention Of the members Of the Mont.
psler board of civil authority to No. "a OF
the Public cts OF $780, amended Section
4731 OF Vermont Statutes, defining ped
d ers," 40 that 1t now reads as follows:
"Section ABB. A person going from town
to town, or from place to place In the same
town, carrying TO sell or exposing for sale,
goods composed in whole or in part OF cot
ton, linen, wooden or silk, plated or gilded
ware, jewelry, patent medicine or a com
mound medicine, the composition Of which
IL kept secret from the public, watches or
clocks, and person who transports such
goods, wares or merchandise from town to
town, or who comes from without the State
into town within the same, bringing such
goods, wares or merchandise, and in towu
to which he transports or brings the same,
temporarily exposes said goods or wares or
wise, at a public or private house, store or
other place, shall be deemed a peddler."
Under the old law there was a question
OF the constitutionality OF requiring ped
dlers to procure lie nses. Mr.. Bacon row
urges that the me bers of the board OF
civil authority, whose du y is to compel OBJ
Bervance of the requirements OF this stat
ute, and increase the State revenue by
causing peddlers seen doing business In
town to show his license and II he fails to
do 80, have him detained in custody and
notify some prosecuting officer, who will
take the case in hand.

IN MANILA.

MANILA, Jan. 25.-Gen. Macarthur
has ordered the deportation to the
United States of George T. Rice, editor
of the Daily Bulletin, marine journal.
Rice will sail on the Pennsylvania next
Monday. The order characterizes him
as Dangerous incendiary and a
menace to the military situation"
Rice's offence was the publishing of
allegations that Lieut.. Commander
William Brauhersreuther, captain of
the port, had charged excessive pilot
age and moorage fees, percentage OF
which he had kept for himself.
The report of Major Mills, inspector
general, whos Investigated the allega-
tons completely exonerated the captain
of the port and indicted the editor and
the merchants who had given and who
had been misled by figuring the rates
upon the net,instead OF the gross tom
mage, the latter being specified under
the Spanish law. Rice came originally
from Red Wing, Mimi, and was for
merly member of the Minnesota vol
unteers.
The situation in the Island of Samar
since the increase of troops has been
quiet. Lukbans' forces are hiding.
Captures, arrests and seizures of arms
continue in the unpaci6ed districts OF
the Island of Luzon.

later in the afternoon it found appro-
pirate measures of coincidence framed
and even orders ready for execution
looking to the half-masting Of the flags
over the executive departments and
carrying out of the usual formalities.
The half-masting of the national en-
sign was an unusual tribute to the
memory of the deceased sovereign. 1t
is said that this he's been done rarely on
the occasion of the funeral of some
great world ruler but never before in
the case of the death of a monarch.
The actual dispatch of the message
from the President to the new King of
England and from Secretary Hay to
Ambassador Choate was delayed only
long enough to receive the physician's
statement announcing the demise of
the Queen and then they were sent for
ward at once and copies were furnish
ed to the press.
EAST CowEs, Jan. 23.-The King

ties of rare flowers were massed in the

NAMED with the body all night. Funer-
al arrangements are not yet decided.
The Queens body will be embalmed
today and probably removed Friday to
London to lie in state at st. Paul's
cathedral. During the night the dining

DUBLIN, Jan. 23,-Signs of mourning
are seen throughout the city. All flags
are half-masted among which the
stars and stripes are conspicuous. The

BERLIN, Jan. 23.-In the Reichstag
Chancellor Won Buelow and President
Ballestrom both made speeches eulogiz-

convey the Reichstag's sympathy to
Emperor William.

erick the Great was the first European
sovereign to recognize the independ-
ence of the United States, 80 now the
President of the great republic has
been the first to acknowledge the king
ship of the great grandson of the mon
arch against whose authority the Am r.
lean colonists successfully rebelled.
This is very touching when one
remembers the visit Of the Prince
of Wales to Weshington's tomb.
Probably it was some remembrance
of that incident which made Presi-
dent Mckinley hasten to be the first
to salute the Prince of Wales as King
and the compliment, we are told, was
most keenly appreciated"
The Standard says: "It is not for
mere show that the Americans have
received the news OF the death of
| Queen Victoria as a bereavement of
their own an comm e-tod upon it in
terms such as they would employ in the
case of an honored President dying in
office"
The sorrow felt throughout the en-
pire is shown in constant succession
OF kilograms arriving from every i'm
portant town in the colonies all telling
of the suspension of business, the clos
ing of theatres, the display of mourn
ing emblems, and of arrangements for
memorial services. All the governors
have sent on behalf of respect of the col
onies kilograms of coincidence to King
Edward and Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary of state for the colonies. The
Marquis of Lansdowne, minister of
foreign affairs has received from the
German ambassador letter on behalf
of the diplomatic corps expressing its
sympathy and coincidence.
Orders have been issued for $500
troops to line the streets of London to.

be. We do not yield to any OF the subjects
of her vast dominions in our respect for the
Queen, and our affection for the woman.
We remember that she was our friend in
the dark days when we needed friends and
when her people needed her wise counsel
and restraining influence. We mourn with
you"

SEEKING A PARDON.

Another OF the many murder trials that
have been held in Washington county court
in recent years is recalled by the attempts
now being made by friends OF James Sher-
man Caswell to secure his pardon from
States prison. where he was sentenced for
life in March $780, for the murder OF George
j. Gould in East Montpelier, September g.
1885,
The circumstances that led up to the
tragedy are yet fresh in the minds OF many
East Montpelier people. Caswell was in
love with Laura, daughter OF Willard Cut
Ter of East Montpelier, at whose home he
worked as farm hand. On September
Miss Cutler was married to George j. Gould
OF East Montpelier, and the following day
the bride and groom returned to the Cutler
home. Caswell was lying in wait for Gould
with loaded shot gun and deliberately
shot him from a chamber window as Gould
was carrying an armful OF wood into the
house. Gould staggered across the road
and died In few minutes. Caswell came
at once to Montpelier and gave himself up
to the authorities. After his conviction, at
Mrs. Gould's request, he was married to
her through the bars Of the Jail door by W.
A. Lord, justice of the peace. Mrs, Csswell
subsequently procured divorce on statu-
tory grounds.
The trial in March, 1890 lasted three
weeks, Hon. III. Henry Powers was the pre-
siding judge and the jury was composed Of
8. b. Blodgett A. Q. Reed, K. K. Bowman,
Royal W. Clark, James Cameron, John A.
Ennis, j. W. Sleeper, G. o. Eastman, A
M. Benjamin, j. l.. Gleason, Lucius M
Bruce and Reuben Bates, many OF whom
are still living The verdict was guilty of
murder in the second degree" and Judge
Powers sentenced the respondent to i'm
prisonment for life in the State prison at
Windsor.
The case was conducted on the part of the
State by States Attorney 8. @. Shurtleff,
assisted by j. p. Lsmson. Csswell was de-
Tended by W. A. Lord and II. A. Huse.
The efforts now put forth for pardon are
not made. by counsel who defended Caswell
at the trial, but by other friends. The con-
dition of Caswel's health, and excessive
punishment are some of the reasons tn at
will be presented to Governor Stickney for
executive clemency.

ENTERTAINS THE THEMAS.

Mrs. Harry M. Cutler entertained the
Themas club on Thursday at her pleasant
cottage at the corner Of Summer and Spring
streets. The sisters were exclusive on this
occasion. Six.hand euchre was the subject
OF discussion, four tables participating.
The conclusion was reached at about ten
o'clock that the honors OF the evening
were won by Mrs. II. A. Dwinell, who took
the lone hand award, a salted.almond spoon
of silver, and by Mrs, W. @. Andrews who
received two packs OF cards AZ the prize for
progression.
The tables were dedicated TO Longfellow,
Tennyson, Kipling and Mother Goose. Each
guest was handed card on which was in
scribed clever parody on some passage
from the authors named, six from each, and
these cards indicated the players for each
table. The conception was unique one
and very pleasantly carried out by It's liter
airy executor, who ingeniously applied the
words Of the authors to the phases and in
cidents of the game. Refreshments were
served at the conclusion OF the playing and
an extremely pleasant meeting OF the club
was ended.

HER MAIDEN NAME,

What was Queen Victoria's maiden name2
Well, princesses do not have very distinct
maiden names, as do girls Of the rank and
file of humanity. Victoria's family name is
Guelph, house having its origin in the
times OF Charlemagne. In the course of
centuries by intermarriage they founded
families in Italy and Germany. Among the
latter was the princely house OF Hanover and
Brunswick, to which the reigning family
England belongs. Alexandri ma Victoria
was the daughter of Edward Duke Of Kent
fourth son of King George the Third, well
known to our fathers. And Edward became
known to Montpelier, also, in the early
years OF the town. George the First was a
German, of this family of Guelphs in Han
over, who by intermarriage with scions OF
English royalty acquired their title to the
British throne.

DILLON e. HALEY

Dillon & Haley are very much pleased
with the manner in which their fire loss has
been adjusted by the several companies
from which they received checks today in
settlement OF their claims.
AS they have large number OF orders
for granite work to fill and expect to get an
extension OF time on the work destroyed by
the fire, they are to begin at once the re-
building OF their plant on the old site They
have asked for bids for circular shed sim
liar to the one burned and also for straight
shed.
They have not yet decided which style
they will build but are prejudced in favor
OF straight shed as they say IL 10 more
modern and convenient az the travelling
crane used in such a shed can be used in
handling the granite inside to better advan-
tage, as it can be done more quickly than
with jacks.
When asked today what was the general
status Of the granite industry in this vicin-
ity as compared with year ago, the mem
bers OF the firm said 1t was not 80 lively but
promised to open up in good shape later
The cause OF the rush year ago now,
which was unusually brisk, was owing
to the fact that there was the possibility OF
a strike staring the manufacturerers in the
face and work was rushed to get our before
the crisis came.
