I"For Jesus Sake"

Columbus G. Churchill of North Chit
tenden, in an insane religious fervor, set
fire to his house late "Wednesday NIGHT
of last week and allowed it to burn Ia
the ground with all its contents. He
then started on foot for Rutland and COW
cred the distance of IL miles in Quick
time. He gave himself up to the sheriff
department. was examined and pro-
nounced insane by DrS. G. S. Caverly and
S. w. Hammond and was taken to the
Bmttleboro retreat Friday.
Churchilrs case is a peculiar one. He
is a religious fanatic. His incendiarv
crime of Wednesday night was commit
ted wholly in the cause of religion, as he
sees it. His idea was deliberately CON
ceived and deliberately carried out. He
is a man somewhat over 80 years of ace
and veteran of the civil war. He was
wounded in the service and for time
drew pension, which he has since'con-
secrated to Godn and given up. Even
while in the army he showed signs of
unusual religious zeal, and regularly
went from tent to tent among his COM
rades laboring with them to convert them
to his religious views. After the war he
travelled about the country as an timer
ant minister or evangelist. His was a
stern faith. He believed that all life's
pleasures and happiness should be for
Saken; that those things which make the
pleasures of this world should be given
up and consecrated to God. For awhile
people listened to his preaching, but fl
nally he became so narrow and severe
that no one would countenance him and
he was forced to abandon his evangelical
work. He settled with his wife on a
little farm in North Chittenden, which
was inherited by Mrs. Churchill from
her father.
Although Mrs. Churchill had peculiar
religious views, they did not always agree
with those of her husband and last Sun
day, after somewhat frenzied discus
sion, Churchill spoke in such threaten
ing manner that she feared for her life
and left home that night to live with her
mother in Brandon.
Left in solitude Churchill became mo-
rose and moody and his thoughts of self
abnegation grew more and more vivid.
He at last determined to give up his
home for the faith and, late Wednesday
night, he set fire to the. house and
watched the flames destroy it. After
doing this ''for Jesus sake" as he de-
clares, he started for Rutland. tssssxss
Churchill seems to realize fully that
his action Wednesday was contrary to
the civil law, but he seems to think him
self responsible only to his Maker and
holds the civil law in contempt. He
seems willing to take any punishment
imposed for breaking this law and, no
doubt, considers himself martyr.

appointed vice president and general
manager of the Central Vermont rail-
road and will begin his duties March Is.
Mr.. Logan is native of St. Louis, and
has been identified with railroad work
since 1885, in which year he entered the
service of what is now the Wabash sys-
tenn, as junior clerk in the office of Mr..
A. A. Talmage, general manager. At
that time, G. M. Hays, late general man
ager of the Grand Trunk, was private
secretary to Mr.. Talmage. On the death
of the latter, Mr.. Hays became his sue
cessor, and Mr.. Logan became travelling
secretary to Mr.. Hays. In 1890, Mr.
Logan was placed in charge of the gen

Cranks in Glover.

The usual number of cranks turned up
at the Inauguration. One of 'em had a
large banner bearing his name and the
announcement that he was the first per-
son in the United States to suggest the
nomination of William Mckinley for
president. He proposed to walk at the
head of the procession and have this an
nouncement carried over his head by two
colored men whom he had engaged for
that purpose. A man from Arizona, with
two big bears insisted upon walking in
the procession to carry out the terms of
a bet. A legless bicycle river wanted a
Mace, and an old fellow made applica-
ton for IA carriages to accommodate SO
veterans, who voted for Fremont and
DAYTON in 1856. He said he had rounded
up that many original republicans, rang
ing in age all the way from 20 to 100, and
could get good many more if the com
mittee would reimburse him for his eI-
nenses.-Free Press.

This shows that 226 samples of feed

were collected, mostly from dealers, dur
ing the fall of 1900.
Cottonseed, linseed and gluten feeds
were all found to be free from adultera-
ton, though as might have been lex
pected, the various brands showed DON
siderable variation in composition. Sme
of them were better than others; and the

were found not quite SO satisfactory.

was discovered shortly after / o'clock P.

was beyond control
There were about fifty finished "Lilley'

stock in the barn. All the contents were
burned. Several wagons that were ON

capped the fire.
The insurance on the stock was $1,000

Some brands contained considerable

ought to have were the goods made of
pure grains ground together as sug-

episode in relation to his own son, some
what older, who had recently been grad
uated. The young mans academic ca
reer having been finished, it was con-
sidered by the family council that six
months of travel would add a little polish
and turn off some of the rough edges
left after class day. The young man
was, therefore, started off upon his trav-
els endowed with plenty of spirit and
funds to the amount of $4,000 for his
necessary and incidental expenses. 1t
was considered matter of discipline
thus to turn him loose for this period,
but final admonition was given him to
cable home if he ran short of money be-
fore his return.
Two months had hardly elapsed before
this cable astonished his fond parent:
John Brown New York:
Gable funds. William Brown.
Now, surely William being quiet boy
he could not have spent his $3.50 in two
short months. That was beyond belief.
He must have been robbed, or lost his
money, or been taken ill., and had un-
usual expenses or there must be some
special need, hence instead of the funds
went this query:
William Brown, Paris:
For what? John Brown.
And then came the terse, pointed and
eye-opening answer:
John Brown, New York:
For Willie. William Brown.

OUR INsULAR coMuERCE.

Since the opening of our ports to the
free Importation of Hawaiian products,
the commerce of those islands has made
such wondrous strides that in proper
ton to it's population laval stands first
in the amount of it's commerce. This is
a proud distinction for our eldest insular
daughter and speaks volumes for the
theory of free trade between the United
States and its own territory. 1t may be
that the unprecedented prosperity of
Hawaii mas had something to do with the
backdown of the administration in the
matter of Porto Rico. That little island
promises to follow in the footsteps of
Hawaii and become a veritable garden of
Eden under the influence Of free trade
condition and can but work for the bene-
fit of both parties. Free trade with Cuba
and the Philippines would be a. benefit
to the United States and the salvation
of those islands. In the case of Hawa.-,
Cuba and Porto Rico, the United States
is the natural market We say natural,
because of the close proximity and the
dissmilarlty in the productions. In case
Of free trade there can be no permanent
rivalry. The staple productions of these
islands can be but weakly counterfeited
on the continent. They are essentially
sugar, tobacco and fruit producing. To
the production of these three alone the
to attempt anything else. Sugar and
tobacco can be produced in nearly every
state in the Union, but it is the height
of folly to compel the whole people to
pay for sugar and tobacco a price suf-
ficient to protect the most expensive
production. Yet that is the very thing
the Republican party has been doing, and
what it will attempt to do in the future.
The opposition to free trade with Cuba
and the Philippines will be from the beet
sugar interests and the tobacco trusts
The California fruit growers may also
wish to preserve a. monopoly of the con-
tinental trade. AS to the admission Of.
Cuban sugar and tobacco We as a ma
ton would be sufficient gamer to sup
port at the best hotels all those interest
ed in the beet sugar business. 1t would
be infinitely cheaper to pay them what
profits they expect to make, and get them
to quit. In the case of the Philippine
sugar, the tariff Of transportation will
be sufficient to protect the Hawaiian and
Porto Rican products from competition.
The market for Philippine products will
be in the Orient and in Europe. Free
trade with the United States would have
tendency to stimulate enterprises there,
because there would be a guarantee of
a market at home in case better mar
ket nearer the source of supply failed.
There is nothing like such object lessons
as are afforded by Hawaii and Porto
Rico to convince the Dingleyites of the
utter defenselessness of their present
position

HORRORS or The CAMPS
REV. BROCKHUIZEN ARRAIGNS
BRITISH IN SOUTH AFRICA.

CHICAGO, July 29.-"The horror of the
situation in the BOer reconcentrado camps
Of South Africa Is appalling. Men, wom-
en- and children are dying at rate
that would mean the determination Of
the Boer race in nine years. The people
are cooped' up in unsanitary quarters,
where they are unable to secure sufficient
food or clothing, with disease making ter
rible ravages among them"
Thus was the situation In the TransvaaI
and Orange Free State depicted tonight at
the Christian Reformed church by Rev.
Herman D. Van Brockhuizen, late pastor
of the leading Dutch Reformed church az
Pretoria. He has come to the United
States to raise money to alleviate the
sufferings of his countrymen who are
huddled together in refugee camps.
1t is the intention of Rev. Mr. Brock
huiZen to travel through the country,
speaking in churches of various denom-
nations and describing the real situation
throughout South Africa. The funds he
is able to secure will be sent direct to
Pretoria.
Regarding the outcome of the struggle
Rev Brockhuizen is still optimistic. He
believes that the Beers Will continue
fighting until they eventually tire out
Great Britain.
ut is quite impossible to estimate the
number of burghers now in the field"
said he. but the force is undoubtedly
much larger than when Pretoria was
taken.
A few days before Lowing Europe, Mr.
Brockhuizen visited President Kruger,
and when he asked the doughty old Boer
what message he would send to the
American people. Kruger replied:
Tell them they are helping the Eng
lish to slaughter our people by supplying
them with horses mules and the NUM-
lions of war
