TWO HUNDRED Fifty DOLLARS.

Mrs. G. II. Baldwin of this city ia $3.50
richer today than yesterday, thanks to a
Yankee capacity TO make a shrewd guess.
A few weeks ago an advertisements ap-
peared in the Boston Globe Offering cer-
tain prize for putting in their right order
sixteen jumbled letters, which, properly ar
ranged, would spell the names OF three
large cities of the world, one in the United
States, one in Europe and one in South
America. In a spirit of curiosity Mrs.
Baldwin soon arranged he letters, and
New York, Lima and Paris were spelled
out The result WAS forwarded 10 the ad-
vertisers. the Bern ard Richards Co., Bos-
ton.
The solution of the tumble was pro-
nounced correct. The further inform alton
WAS then vouchsafed that this solution ss
prelude TO admission 10 guessing
match. The company publishes u
periodical entitled the Brown Book
of Boston" The successful candidates
for admission TO the contest were a
sked to guess on the increased circu.
lation of this publication for the past year
as the result of the efforts Of the company
and it's sgentP.
A prize Of $4,000 was offered the one who
should guess exactly, Another prize Of
$500 yearly, during the life OF the guesser,
was offered the one who should make the
closest guess. Then nine cash prizes OF
$3.50 each were offered TO each person OF al
many sections Of the country who should
make the nearest guess. New England
WAS one OF these sections. Mrs Baldwin's
guess was 16S, ,653 The guess of L. L. Rich
OF Eaton Rapids, Mich was 1880 The
exact figures we're 16S, ,5l6 Mrs. Baldwin 3
guess was within 81; this being the nearest
Of any made in New England she was
awal ded the $3.50 prize for this section, and
Monday received certified check for the
money. The annuity OF $500 went to Mr..
Rich OF Eaton Rrpids. IL does no yet sp-
pear that any guesser was lucky enough to
scoop the $1,000 prize. Mrs. Baldwin's
guess was made up in a business like way.
Congratulations to the champion guesser OF
New England.
This firm OF unlimited munificence made
the further offer OF $25 to each person resid-
ing In each State and territory OF the United
Stl tes and each province OF the Dominion
OF Canada who should make the nearest
guess. A subscription to the Brown Book

COURT DOCKET

The jury calendar for the March term OF
Washington county, out Saturday, contains
enough business to keep court in session
every working day until next Thanks
giving.
The first case set for trial on Wednesday
March 6, Is State against Arturo Bernaco,
assault with intent to kill and murder,
growing out OF the attempted assassination
Of Chief OF Police Brown of Barre. States
Attorney r. A. Hoar will appear for the
State, and r. l.. Laird for the respondent.
Following this will come the trial OF State
v. Oeharldo Guiseppieni, assault with intent
to kill and murder.
State v. Pelegrini Bernachi assault with
intent to kill and murder.
State v. Andrea Fredisni, carrying con.
cealed weapon,
State vs. Andrea Frediara, assault with
intent to kill and murder.
State vs.. Andrea Frediani, breach Of
peace.
State VS.. Primo Bsttsglia assault with
intent to kill and murder.
State vs. Primo Battaglis, carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Stste vs. Primo Battaglia ct al, riot.
State vs.. Ceharldo Guiseppeini, breach of
peace.
State VS.. Primo Battaglis, breach of
peace.
State vs., Frank P. Miller, murder.
These will be followed by trial of the rel
mainder OF the cases on the crimina
dc cket.
The civil jury calendar contains eighty
one cases, all at present set for trial. The
court calendar contains eighty-two cases.
1t is probable that large number OF the
civil and court cases will be continued, as
the court will find it impossible to try all
the cases that will be ready before June,
when Judge Watson goes to Woodstock to
preside at Windsor county court. The May
term of Supreme court must also intervene.

IN SOUTH AFRICA.

CAPE Town, Feb. 16.-For more
than month Lord Methuen has been
securing The country between Kuru-
man and the Trausvaal bringing in wo-
men and children, cattle and food,
from all the farms. Fifty women and
one hundred children, together with
few men, he has sent to Vryburg. On
one occasion, while he was pursuing a
commando the Beers sent off their
wagons in charge of women and girls in
one direction and went themselves in
another. The women were such ex-
pert drivers that the British had con-
siderable difficulty in catching the con-
voy.
Albert Cartwright, editor of the
South African Ne,oS, who was arrested
on February 7, charged with sedition
and defamatory libel in publishing in
his paper statement to the effect that
the British commander-in-chief Sc
cretly instructed his troops to take no
prisoners, was yesterday held for trial d,
bail being fixed at $4,000.
LONDON, Feb. 16.-A Pail Mall Ga
zette representative has had an inter-
view with Kruger, in which the old
man says: "Will no one arbitrate? Will
no one give us chance of defending
ourselves? We may have done wrong
ly. We have our faults and our weak
nesses. We declared war, but our
hands were forced and we can prove it.
Get some one to judge between this
England and curse ves. But the Lord
will help us in the end. We shall win
| do not know how or when, but we
shall win at last"
Regarding Mrs. Kruger he says: 81
am sorry for her 100. | We a deep
sorrow for her, but l have far more
sorrow for my country. My wife has
her children. Six are still with her
They were left with her in the home.
Two of my sous have died on the bat
tlefield. Two were captured. l be-
lieve two more are dead also, as l have
not heard from them for two months,
and | know they were in tho thick of
the fight. Thirty-one sons and grand
sons l have in the field yet, but l
could not go on commando, l have
not heard from my wife for 16 days,
but she has six children with her and
she is not to be pitied."
LONDON, Feb. 16-Lord Kitchener
reports that Gen. DeWet crossed the
Cape Rhodesia railroad north of DeAar
Friday with Pummer's column in close
pursuit. Armored trains engaged the
enemy while crossing the line although
the Beers cut the line north and south
of the crossing place The command
or in chief adds that the British cap
tured twenty wagons, many loaded
with ammunition, one Maxim gun, one
hundred horses and twenty prisoners.
Gen. DeWet was reported Thursday as
engaged by Plummer's column near
Philipstown, about fifty miles east OF
the railroad he has just crossed.
SOUTHAMPTON, Feb. 16. = Adel.
bert Hay, United States consul at Pre-
toria, arrived from South Africa today.
He left for London at once and refused
an interview.
