NORWIY'S LOVE FOR THE KAISER

with all his heart-the German Emperor and his
pony. Go where you viii now in Norway and
you must hear the Emperors praise. At lovely

friend as the German Emperor. Not always

a little bit of silver to the boy by the roadside,
and how will he spend it? Ask him and he Will

he; some day | shoot Swede." Worthy am

is the place to pass away time not in

Act 2, Alice Preston's apartments

OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

The Boston Bargain store is now
open for business In their new quar-
ters in the Currier building. The
management of this store Is by @. N.
Kenyon, the well-known gentleman
who has built up the business by his
thorough business ability and popu'
larity. Mr.. Kenyon came to Barre In
April 1892, and opened the Boston
Bargain store, and in five years built
up business far beyond the expecta-
tions of his partner, then In Clare
mont, N. H. About this time Mr..
Scott was not well enough to take care
OF his business in Claremont, sold 1t
out and came to Barre, becoming as
sociated with his hustling partner, G.
N. Kenyon.
Before coming to this city MI. Ken
yon was employed with A. NJ. Hanna
ford of Claremont, as clerk in the FUR
niture and undertaking business; also
handling crockery, china, glassware,
and lamps, and had been there eight
wears when Mr.. Scott sent him to
Barre as partner to build up busi-
ness. How we'll he succeeded every
body knows. He has connected with
him now Mr.. @. G. Baldwin Of Barton,
VT, a hustler, a good mate for such a
business man, and between them they
intend to satisfy all their customers
in the particular line of goods to be
found In the Boston Bargain store.

The Ice

Vergennes, March 27.- Another
tragedy has been added to the long
list Of those that have served to keep
the people of this vicinity wrought up
to the highest pitch OF excitement for
the past few weeks.
The latest is the horrible death BY
drowning Of William IIodgkins Of
Westport, N. Y.
He started to walk home across the
ice on the lake from Basin Harbor last
Sunday night, and has not been seen
since, either at home or at the place
from whenc he started. His over.

floating on the water in an open place

UNSoPHISTICATED
Nelson Jones Proved Easy
Prey For
IDA fosBURGH
No New Developments In the
( Case Today
IDA FosBuRGH

Middlebury, March 27.- There are
no new developments in the Fosburg
poisoning case today. Hon. +.
L. Fish is in consultation with young
Jones. There have been no more
arrests.
Ida Fosburgh entered the employ of
the Jones oily some years ago as a
domestic. She was older than Nelson
Jones; she had seen more Of the world
than he had. Indeed, she was thor
oughly sophisticated, which could not
be said of the young man. She had
seen thing or two IN her day and he
had not. She was prepossessing and
self contained and was fitted by nature
and experience to gain:theIconfdence
of young man whose life had been
bounded by a Vermont horizon.
1t is a fair inference from the evil
dence in hand that Ida Fosburgh OBJ
tained a complete control over young
Jones and that what she said was law
to him, 1t is difficult to comprehend
his various acts under any other the.
ory. He wrote letters which showed
the rankest sort of indiscretion and a
knowledge of things that the average
country boy knows nothing about.
and it is perfectly plain that he must
have had a tutor superior to him both
by natures gifts and in experience.
He wrote a letter, for example, to
Louis A, Miner, asking him to for
ward to Shoreham two ounces OF blood
root and stating that he had no
money, but that he would see that
the druggist Vas paid the next time
he made a trip to Rutland. The
druggist not answering his letter, Mr..
Jones wrote second time, stating, 1t
is alleged, .thatr9he had got a girl In
trouble and asking the druggist to
forward to Shoseham certain amount
OF ergot. This request was likewise
not needed.
The handwriting has since been
positively identified as that of Jones,
and the frank expressions in the two
letters being so inconsistent with the
usual secretiveness of guilty man,
doubts have been raised as to whether
he had anything whatever to do with
Ida Fosburgh'S death. There is nc
doubt in the minds of the authorities
that he had been her friend and IN
innate.

Various Opinions As To
Situations
RUSSIA AND CHINA
MAY Have Come To Terms
Or May Not

London, NJ arch 27.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Times wiring
yesterday says:
81 am informed on the best author
ity that the Chinese court has In.
structed Ii Hung Chang to inform
the: ministers OF the powers that
China has refused to sign the
4nchuriau convention and has also
no lied all viceroys TO that effect.
is further asserted that the court
seriously contemp ates a removal OF
the capital from Pekin.
The Reuter- Telegram company has
received the following despatch:-
Pekin, March 26-7 p. m.-The re-
port that China rejects the Manchu-
rian convention, is not true. She OBJ
jects to many points, which are under
discussion.
"Chiua strenuously objects to the
pto libition of the Importation OF arms
and ammunition into Manchuria and
to the provision forbidding China to
construct her own railways without
Russia'S consent. She also takes ex-
ception to relinquishing autonomy In
Chin Sou.
"China does not desire to grant a
concession which would be likely to
prove an embargo to other powers"
New York, March PA dispatch
to the World from Constantinople
says:
Advices from. Odessa, the Black sea
port OF Russia, say that extraordinary
preparations for war are being made.
There is a real war fever abroad,
and the general impression seems to
be that there will be conflict in the
Far East with Japan and possibly a
European power.
Washington, March 27.-The Unit
ed States has just declined to enter a
protest against the seizure OF Man
churis by Russia, although approach
ed by other powers with that end In
view, and warned by them that the
consummation Of the negotiations to
day in St. Petersburg would insure
the dismemberment Of the Chinese
Empire and probably lead to war In
the Orient.
St. Petersburg, March 27.-The re-
call of G unit MouraviesS Amorrsky,
Russian military attache at Paris,
was ordered today. Prince Obvious
SORT, Russian ambassador OF France,
will probably be recalled. The cause
is unknown.
