The executive committee of the

past and we expect to learn the class
day appointments in the near future.

day evening the sOphOmores went on
a sleighing party to Bernardston and
some of their well-wishing friends
fearing lest their appetites might not
be sufficiently keen to do justice to
the supper when was to be prepared
for them, advised the landlord to de-
lay the hour of supper until $50. All
this was agreeable to the accommodate

occasionally are heard something
must have gone wrong with the sophs.
Somewhere during the evening they
saw fox frolicing about in a Charm

Friday evening the seniors went on
a ride to Winchendon but although
they arrived in town somewhat
early" they all report an excellent

How Birds Help Farmers.

1.-THE bulletins on birds and mammals
published by the Biological Survey at
Washington correct widely prevalent err
rors as to the economic status of spe-
cies that affect agricultural interests,
and demonstrate the ineffciency and
wastefulness of bounty laws, under
which millions of dollars have been ex-
pended by the various States and terri
tories without accomplishing the object
for which they were intended.
Birds are the farmers most valuable
aids in his lifelong battle with the in
sects that play on his crops. How inn
portant therefore, that he should not
destroy them that do him greatest SER
vice. In the case of hawks and owls
the division has shown, by the examina-
ton of the stomach contents of about
three thousand of these universally
hated and prosecuted birds that only
six out of the seventy-three kinds inhab-
iting the United States are injurious,
and three of these are so rare they need
hardly be considered, leaving only three
to be taken into account as enemies. of
agriculture. The others prey upon mice,
insects and other Vermin, and rank
among the farmers best friends.
Since the establishment, in 1885, the di-
vision has examined the stomach con-
tents of nearly fifteen thousand birds be-
longing to two hundred species and sub
species and has published information
on the food habits OF one hundred and
forty kinds, mainly hawks, owls, crows,
Jays blackbirds, sparrows thrushes, fiy-
catchers, swallows, Wrens, ShrikeS, wood
peckers, horned larks and cedarbirds. -

TIL RUTLAND BANK CASE.
Mcclure, Charged With Aiding and
Abetting Cashier Mussey, on Trial.

The trial of Marvin A. Mcclure,
charged with aiding and abetting
Cashier Mussey in abstracting $l40,-
600 from the Merchants National
bank of Rutland was prosecuted in
the United States circuit court at Rut-
land Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day. Several of the officials of the
bank testihed Tuesday that they did
being discounted by the bank. Cash
Ter Mussey, who is now serving term
in prison, was the star witness of the
day. He said the loans to Mcclure
had been going on for years, and that
he had told Mcclure how it was nee
essary to talsify the bank accounts
to cover up the transactions, and had
warned him that both were likely to
get into trouble.
Receiver Muir stated on Wednesday
that the total shortage in the accounts
of the bank was between $2SU.0OO and
$240 900. Mcclure took the stand in
his own behalf late Wednesday after
noon. He made a bad impression,
testifying to playing the races and
gambling, although he said his losses
were not large and these indulgences
were for amusement and not gain.
He did not play the stock market.
He lost money in his business. The
defense tried to make the point tnat
Mussey lead Mcclure to believe that
it was not necessary to see the direc-
tors about the loans. The testimony
was all in Wednesday. The argu-
ments were nearly finished yesterday
and the case will go to the jury today.

The final protocol closing the negotia-

Commissioner Rockhil to the state de-
partment, is a long document consisting
of u distinct articles In general terms
these recite the measures taken by
China to satisfy the powers for the box
or outbreak and the assassination Of
the German minister, such as the dis
patch of the embassy to China, the pro-
mise to erect a monument to the me-
mOry of Won Kettler and a memorial
arch (wOrk upon which has already be-
gum; the inhiction of various punish
ments upon the Chinese officials who
were characterized as the principal au-
thors Of the Outrages and the crimes
committed against the foreign govern
ments and their nationals. Character
istic Chinese methods appear in the
posthumous degradation of officials and
the rehabilitation Of the memory Of
others who protested against the out
rageOus breaches Of international law
and were therefore nut to death.
Likewise the protocol shows that re-

the conversion of ad valorem into spec

ture, prohibiting Chinese membership
in any anti-foreign society under pain
of death; prohibiting examinations in
cities where foreigners were massa-
cred, and providing for the dismissal Of
governors who hereafter permit anti

over the six other ministers of state.
