Vermont's representation at the Pan
American exposition having passed from
the sphere OF probability to the realm of
certainty, it is to be hoped that particu-
lar effort will be made TO advertise our

The summer tourist crop is the most

There is so much probability that the
death of young Booz was directly at
trbutable to the brutal hazing which he
experienced at the hands of his fellow
students at West Point as to demand the
utter abolition of the practice. To bring
this about the severe punishment of those
engaged in the outrage would be very
effective. Were they degraded from their
rank and set to perform mcnial camp
duty, we should hear very little about
hazing in the future Exeter, N. H.,

days ago in Berkeley, Cal, was the last
survivor Of the crews that accompanied
Perry on thatfamous expedition in 1858,
when the gallant commodore with his
ten warships opened the ports of Japan
to the commerce OF the world. Eastman
was born to the sea. He was a native
of New Bedford, Mass, aud was mate of
sailing vessel before his twentieth
year. During the Aslatic expedition he
was member OF the crew OF the flagship
and one of those who manned Perry's
gig He was discharged from the naval
services in 1855.

THOUGH DEAD HE STILL LIVES.
Thomas l.. James Living in New York
City.
Nearly a Century since He Disappeared
From Our island.

Malta, Dec. 10, 1900.
Soon after the British flag was hoisted
over St. Elmo-before this country had
entered it's teens-Th Thomas l.. James dis
appeared from our island and until this
week no British or Maltese subject could
get any trace of his wherea bouts. 1t
seems he is living in luxury in New York,
but has been in retirement since exchang
ing this island for Manhattan Island.
Several years of his retirement were spent
in Washington as Postmaster General of
the Uuited States, several as Postmaster
of New York, and he is now living in
fnrther retirement as the president of
prominent New York bank, the active
member OF dozen New York clubs, the
president of TammanY while Croker is in
retreat in England, the chaplain of the
Young Mems Christian Association, and
the Il adler of the brass band of the Saliva
ton Army. His quiet, retired life agrees
with him, but he has always been mar
tyr to corns and premature badness, and
this accounts for his preference tor the life
of recluse. His bank holds the Wander
bit securities, and Mr.. James receives
one million dollars annually TOR cutting
off the coupons. Mr.. James married
some sixty years since rich and accom-
Pushed French lady, who shares his re-
tirement with him and nurses him ten.
DERBY when he has these attacks of corns
and premature badness. Occasionally
they both run over to Europe for health,
and once when they forgot to notify the
New York Herald" that they were 60
ing, the Herald" kindly advertised them
as having died in the home of their friend
Edward Evans, Jr., of Liverpool, mer-
chant well-known on both sides OF the
Atlantic. On learning that he was dead
Mr.. James concluded to come out OF his
retirement and live hencetorth an active
life This week he writes us that he may
soon revisit his old Malta home, and re-
call old times with some of his octogena-
rian playmates. We shall all greet him
cordially, though the editor of the
"Chronicle" and most of our subscribers
were born generation later. Mr.. James
is very English in his politics, and always
commences the day by singing The Star
Spangled Banner" and closes it by sing.
ing "God Save the Queen" He is great
friend and champion Of 1911 Bryan, and
he writes that nothing prevented the
election of his favorte except a lack OF
votes. This trouble Tammany hopes to
remedy four years hence. We neglected
to mention that Mr.. James has beauti.
tul villa in the village of Chicago, and
goes to and from his New York office
daily. We are sincerely glad the man
has been found, and hope he'll never get
so retired again.

| GRAFTON an era in our country's history
that belongs to the distant past, yet in
the death OF ex-senator Bradbury OF
Maine, q few days ago. there passed
away one who was a member of Bow
doin's famous class of 1925, which mum.
bered among its members, Hawthorne,
LongfelIow, John S. c. Abbott, and
Horatio Bridge. When Mr.. Bradbury
entered the senate in 1847, Webster,

age,
Major Serpa Pinto, the famous African
explorer, died in Portugal few days
ago. He was fourth among the explorers
to cross the dark continent, Livingston,
Cameron, and Stanley preceding him.
He wrote book, How | Crossed Airi-
ca" which was translated into several
languages. Major Pinto's journey was
one Of great peril and his story records a
series of wonderful hair breadth escapes.
Pinto's geographical observations were
of great value. 1t was he who first gave
to the world important information con-
corning a large part OF the upper Zambesl
basin. Most Of the geographical socie-
ties bestowed on him their highest hon
ors.
The recent action of the house of re-
presentatives in increasing the size of
that body has been severely condemned
in some instances because of the tendency
to make it large and unwieldy, yet it is
not at all large body when compared
with the lower houses Of the principal
European countries having parliament
tary institutions. For example, the
United Kingdom, with a population Of
little over 4O,OOO,OOO, has house of
commons with go members. France
with a population slightly less (38,5O0,-
O0O), has a chamber Of deputies with
584 members. Germany, with a popula-
ton of so 1901, has Rechstag num-
bering 397 members Even Italy, with
population of but 81 ,667946 (1S98),
has chamber of deputies with sos
members.

Mr.. Clapp's Reioinder.

Some weeks ago the New York Herald
and other Sunday papers Of this country
hal a two column article about the dis
covery" of Henry L. Clapp in Malta.
The CALIFORNIAN referred to the story
and published at the time an excellent
reply to the canard from the pen OF one OF
Mr.. Clapps warmest American friends,
Mr.. Bridgrnan Of the Brooklyn Standard
Union. But Mr.. Clapp has since seen
the first article and read the details of
his mysterious disappearance" and his
reply is as clever an article as he has ever
penued. The reply is in the form of a let
ter to the editor OF the Malta Chronicle
and we reprint in full just as it appeared
in that paper:

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis, mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation -
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
iating woman's peculiar monthly

New York, Nov. 90. = Mayor Elect

Colonel Partridge is now state com.

other companies operating in the city

in consequence most of the people OF

Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-No more for

cepted by the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron company for the

and 50 numerous that to supply them
would seriously interfere with meet.
ing the home demand.
Foreign orders accepted last month
will be filed as fast as possible. One
consignment of 1000 tons for France
is now being loaded If all the recent
orders were accepted, it would mean
the immediate shipment to foreign
ports of not less than 100000 tons.
The cargoes already landed in Euro
pean ports, particularly of France and
Germany, have proved so successful in
advertising the American article among
foreign consumers that almost daily
orders from French, German and even
English manufacturers are reaching
the offices of the Reading company.
Present low rates to European ports
on outgoing vessels are chiefly account
able for the foreign demand. The
freight to French ports now costs only
S2.37 per ton, the price formerly being
at least $4. Present rates make the
cost to foreign consumers $6.12 a ton.
Agents of the Western railway of
France say they are ready to order
thousands of tons of American coal IL
they can get 1t at this price.
