Important Business Change.

Charles H. Goss, the we'll known heat
ing and plumbing contractor and hare
ware dealer, has leased the entire ground
floor and basement of Music hall for
period of ten years and will establish his
business there in December. Mr.. Goss
has been very successful in his business
and it has entirely outgrown the present
quarters on Prospect avenue. The Music
hall stores will be thoroughly repaired
and fitted up into four departments,
shelf hardware, paints, stoves and
plumbing goods. The basement will be
used for storage, etc., and at the rear
end OF the building there will be a large
work room. Mr.. Goss will purchase the
stock and business of George K. SWEET
and Mr.. SWEET will remain in his employ.
1t is Mr.. Goss' intention to make the
new store the finest of the kind in the
state. c. A. Stanley will occupy the
rooms on Prospect street to be vacated
by Mr.. G0ss.

good as that pitched by his opponent

two classes are expected to furnish most
of the players for next spring.

Outlook is promising this fall for a
very good football team. Several good

second men into good players. Only six

some of these may lose their places.

Why Oil and Timing Stocks are Of
fered to the General Public.

In answer TO various queries as to why
1T is necessary to offer stock in good OF
companies to the general public, the sec
rotary OF one of the best and most fnan
cially substantial oil companies in Cali
tornaia has published the following lucid
explanation with cogent reasons in its
latest report:
Why IS 1t necessary to offer any prom.
lslng. mining stock for general subscrip.
ton! Why do not local capitalists Sc.
cure the entire issue if it promises such
large profits, and why is the company
willing to dispose OF any interest in a
valuable property These are common
questions familiar to everyone dealing in
mining investments. They seem reason
able on their face, yet they are in fact
extremely unreasonable and illogical.
Would you ask your grocer, when he
advises you to buy sugar or -four in an
tlc1pat1on OF an advance, why he did not
hold 1T himself and make the profit
Would you ask your coal dealer, when
he recommends you to lay in your winter
supply III summer, because it is cheaper.
why he does not buy it himself and sell it
later at a higher price? Hardy, for the
very good and sufficient reason that
pro badly neither would have sufficient
capital for the purpose, and if the advice
were not acted upon neither party
would be benefited.
Mining stocks are offered to general
investors because no one man has suffi-
Gent capital to successfully operate the
property, however valuable the property
may be. Only few months ago the Brit
ish Government came to New York CITY
to raise $50,000,00O. These bonds are
coed investment, yet the Government
came here for money. The bonds ola pros
porous town or city may be gilt edged, yet
they are placed in outside money markets.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is an excel
lent investment, yet not one.ffth of its
stock is owned in Pennsylvania. The
New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad securities are as stable as
government bonds, vet the recent inven.
tory OF the estate OF Cornelius Vanderbilt
showed that he owned less than one
httieth of its stock.
Standard Oil Company stock is SELLING
at $500 per share on the curb. 1t is NOT
o>Nullly, yet 1t PAID rs per
cent. dividends this year, and John d.
Rockefeller owns less than one third of
the stock OF the company that he origin.
ated. 's'n
Some one must have sold stock in the
inception of these companies, and the
thousands and tens of thousands of in.
vestors made the greatest share Of Their
profits by becoming purchasers. Nothing
OF magnitude in local enterprises eve1
proves a success without the aid of
outside OF capital. 1t is the history
OF most great and successful com
panies, in mining especially, that The
combination of the investments of the
many has universally created the profits
and rendered possible great enterprises
" Without this division OF interest through
the medium of capitalization there world
have been no great mining successes that
produce nearly one-third of the annual
wealth OF our country Mining and
Engineering Review, San Francisco '"

In October, 1900, Pietro Giaconi and
Marie Bonelli were tried at Rome on
a charge of seXtuple murder by poi
soning committed 81 years before. In
England Eugene Aram was hanged for
the murder of Clarke IA years after the
offense. A man named Horne was ex-
ecuted for the murder of his child in
the eighteenth century no less than 80
years after the offense. There is also
the well known case Of Governor Wall,
who was executed in 1902 for a muir
der committed in 1882. Sherward was
hanged at Norwich for the murder of
his wife after lapse of 20 years,
But Sir Fitzjames Stephens recalls
what is the most remarkable case of
all. He prosecuted as counsel for the
crown in 1868 man who was charged
with stealing leaf from parish reg
lister 60 years before-that is, in 1903.
In this case the prisoner was acquitted.

the weapon. In the north Of Europe it

Lyman Howe's Moving Pictures.

Lyman HOWe's Moving Pictures
The second appearance of Lyman
Howe's moving pictures at Music Hall
Thursday evening, was greeted by al
audience of nearly 1000 people, and the
entertainment was even more salts ac
tory than the splendid exhibition last
season. The pictures shown were all
new and represented scenes and happen
ings in various parts of the world. The
Pan American exhibition was the princi-
pal American subject and the scenes
shown by a water trip around the expo
sition grounds were especially good.
Three pictures OF President McKinley's
fateful visit to Buffalo were shown. One
represented the President delivering his
address the day before the assassination,
another the President reviewing the
troops in the stadium and the third, the
crowd surrounding the emergency hos
pital after the shooting. There were sew
eral humorous scenes that delighted the
audience. The last film shown repre-
scented an exhibition of Oriental magic
in colors, and it may be interesting to
know that it consisted of 1900 distinct
pictures, each of which was colored by
hand. During the evening Preston Ken
DALI the entertainer, rendered a scene
from DR.. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.
The Y. NJ. c. A. made from the enter
tainment nearly SITS, which will be used
on further improvements at the associa-
ton building. A return date has been
made with the company for February 6,
1902.
"LoYers' Lane"
1t is many a day since so delightful a
dramatic production as Lovers Lane"
has been seen in St. Johnsbury. Perhaps
never in the history of the Howe Opera
House has there been an opportunity to
witness a performance more thoroughly
pleasing than that presented by William
A. Brady's company Saturday night, yet
it was greeted by about halt-sized au-
dience only. Lovers Lane" is regarded
as one OF the best productions of that
popular playwright, Clyde Fitch, and it
surely deserves the immense success that
it has attained. The play is pure and
wholesome love story, built around a
devoted and progressive minister and a .
fault finding church.
