The Nernennes Bank Case.

j. r. Sullivan, the receiver of the
Farmers National bank. arrived in
Nergennes Thursday. A number of
checks of the bank are in the hands of
farmers and others who received them
for produce. cattle, etc, and in many
cases through negligence the checks
were not cashed. 1t is thought that
some complications may arise over
the question of who will sustain the
loss, if any, on these checks. Mrs.
Frances p. Hallett has left Vergennes.
She denies emphatically that she was
engaged to marry Cashier Lewis and
her friends are indignant because her
name was brought into this affair.
The representative of the American
Surety company has handed Receiver
Sullivan "A check for $4,000 and has
taken the indemnity bond given the
directors. 1t is understood that the
surety company will appear against
Cashier Lewis at the June term of
court.

than 100000 and might reach a total
of $l25,O00. This Mr.. Sullivan denies

Mex infey on Anarchy.

In the light of the tragedy at Buff
falo, peculiar interest attaches to an
address delivered by Mr.. Mckinley at
the dedication of a soldiers and sail
ors' home in Cleveland on July 4, 1894:
Just before he spoke the assem- bled
school children of Cleveland had sung
a patriotic song, beating time to their
music with flags which they held in
their hands. Mr.. Mckinley began by
referring to this pleasing sight, add
ing: With patriotism in our hearts
and with the flag of our country in our
hands there is no danger of anarchy.
Anarchy fees before patriot
ISM Peace and order and security and
liberty are safe so long as love of coun-
try burns in the hearts of the people
Liberty to make our own
laws does not give us license to break
them. Liberty to make our own laws
commands a duty to observe them our
selves and enforce obedience among
all others within their Jurisdiction
Liberty, my fellow-citizens, is respon-
sibility, and responsibility is duty, and
that duty is to preserve the exceptional
liberty we enjoy within the law, and
for the law, and by the law His
statement that anarchy and patriotism
are deadly foes could have had no
more striking illustration than his own
death. By personal conviction as we'll
as by official position Mr.. Mckinley
was the embodiment of the idea of lib
erty under law. He was struck down
because of that fact. His death teaches
the same lesson as his Cleveland
speech-that the enforcement of just
laws and the incubation of true pa
triotism are the safest and surest
means of suppressing anarchy.

when the goat industry will take pre-

1T was many years ago, on my first

A fish dealer in one of the most styl-
ish parts of New York was deeply hurt
and badly worried recently by the
complaint of one of his big customers
that fine salmon which he had sent
to the house for a big dinner had
proved to be entirely uneatable when
served, owing to a most penetrating
taste of creosote that pervaded it. The
fish dealer realized, although the
cL age was not made directly, that he
was more than suspected of having
sold stale fish that had been washed
or brushed with an antiseptic prepare
ton to hide it's condition He knew
that the salmon had been perfectly
fresh when he sold it and for days he
puzzled in vain over the problem But
suddenly he remembered that on the
day the fish was sent out tank wagon
full of creosote had stopped before his
place, and that his cart, into which
the fish had been placed, was directly
alongside of the powerful stuff That
appears to have been enough to per-
meate the delicate flesh of the fish, The
experiences should be q lesson against
exposing any foodstuffs to Influences

have been arranging to spend the win

immediate change in their plans.
Mayor Harrison has had a change of
heart. Several years experience with
the gentlemen of the road have con-
WINGED him that their room is to be
preferred to their company during the
cold months. The mayor has not only
ordered that no tramps shall be lodged
in the police stations this year but has
also stated that the condition of the
city treasury makes it impossible to
open a municipal lodging-house for
their accommodation. Tramps and va
grants who are found in Chicago here

sent to the bridewell- where the terror
of compulsory baths and hard work
