DIGGERS OF GINSENG.
Profits from Its SaIe-Method Of Vet
eran Digger-Open Deer Season.

Two BrattlebOro, VT, residents de-
rive handsome profits from the sale
of ginseng root. While many more
people have successfully hunted the
root for the past three or four years,
the work entailed seems to have grad
ually discouraged them, until, drop
ping out one by one, they have left
the field to two or three persistent
diggers. who, having become experts,
find their searchings net only remu-
nerative. but likewise fascinating in
the open-air exercise which their eff
forts require We all remember how
our grandfathers, many years ago,
dealt extensively in the root, employ
ing in many instances their neighbors
in the season Of ginseng digging, send
ing their product to Boston by team.
In those days if the crop brought 70
cents to $1.25 3 pound, the diggers
considered themselves fortunate,
though it is probably true that the
root was more easily found than to-
day, when a digger must traverse a
wide territory, and oftentimes spend
several days in securing very few
pounds of the root, which, however.
brings much higher prices than were
paid half a century ago, while the de
mand has constantly increased. To the
many New Englanders who possibly
have never heard of the enormous
profits realized from the traffic in
ginseng, the story of its digging and
marketing by one who has made g
business of it, and the fact that this
valued commodity fiOurishes, as i

YOUNG PERELES
WAS DROWNED

Milwaukee, Nov. 1.-THE body Of
Nathan J. Pereles, son Of Mrs. B. F.
Pereles, who disappeared from his
home under mysterious circumstances,
was found yesterday shortly before
noon floating in Lake Michigan a
quarter of a mile south of the pier.
Owing to the badly decOmpOsed cOndi-
ton of the body it's identity was notes
tablished until the pockets OF the I'M
fortunate man were searched at the
morgue and it was found to be young
Pereles.
! No marks of violence could be seen
upon the body which would in a meas
ure tend to strengthen the theory Of
! suicide, but as far as is known by the
friends and relatives of the young
man, he had no reason in the world,
however, for wishing to end his life.
He was always Of a happy disposition
and it was not known that he had any
trouble Of any kind upon his mind.
Many OF his friends hold to the theory
of suicide.

Stormy Voyage=-En-

General Says Civilization
in Island is Doing
Wonders

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-THE trans
port Sumner with General Chaffee on
board arrived yesterday afternoon
from the Philippines after a stormy
voyage. Shortly after leaving YokO-
hama the vessel encountered ty-
DhoOn. Boats were smashed, portions
of the rigging carried away and dur
ing the heignL of the storm a launch
was torn from it's fasteningS and
struck Mrs. Chaffee's staterOom with
terrific force, the shock prOStrating
that lady, who was i'll when she board
ed the vessel. In an interview last
night General Chaffee said that when
he left Manila everything was pro-
crossing in a most satisfactory man
ner and that he could not be more
pleased with the situation.
"Civilization has accomplished Won
ders,'' he said, "and the natives are
fast recognizing the institutions of
this government and meeting them
with a friendly spirit.
He said also that while some prov
inces are unsettled and further trou-
BILE may be expected, the outlook is
most cheerful, and he looks for no
great difficulties or disturbances re-
curing unusual force to subdue. Many
natives now advise their former bel
ligerent fellows to lay down their
arms. The general said the greatest
difficulty experienced was in OvercOm,
ing the legends and SuperStltlOnS OF
the people, To this feature was large
ly due the spread of cholera and other
diseases. Natives will not submit to
quarantine peacefully and frequently
escape from their homes, spreading
the disease. Chaffee expected much
suffering in the districts where the
people are unable to raise crops or
account of the loss of farm animals
but the government has taken steps tt
relieve their distress. The province
of Samar, once the most unruly ant
belligerent, is now quiet and peaceful
and prosperous.
Chaffee and his party were waited
upon last evening by William H. Har
ner, representing the Union League
club of Chicago, and formally invited
by that gentleman to be the guest o
he club and of he Grand Army Hal
and Memorial association. of Illinois
The general accepted, as did also Vic

EX-GOVERNOR BLACK MAKES
SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
MOLlNEUX TRIAL ENDING
One More Day and Prisoners Fate
Will Probably Be Determined
Counsel of Man at Bar Says That
Every Circumstance in Case Points
10 Guilt of Star Witness.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE fate OF
Roland B. Molineux will be deter
mined today. When court adjourned
last evening Justice Lambert an
nounced that he would allow Assist
ant District Attorney Osborne but two
hours and a half more to finish sum-
ming up, which means the court will
deliver it's charge and the case will go
to the jury during the afternoon.
The courtroom was crowded to sui
location when at the opening OF yes
terday's session Ex-Governor Black
rose to sum up for the defense. After
general defense of MolineuX, whom,
he declared, the prosecution had ut
| terly failed to connect in any way
with the death of Mrs. Adams, BlacB
passed a scathing denunciation OF
Harry Cornish, to whose guilt, and not
that of Molineux. he declared, every
circumstance in the case directly
pointed. More than half of Black s
address, which occupied nearly foul
| hours, was devoted to an analysis OF
Cornish's conduct and testimony, and
of the testimony of other witnesses
in a manner to support his contention
that Cornish's actions were not con
sistent with his innocence of the
crime of which Molineux stands &C
cuSed.
Osborne based his argument for the
prosecution yesterday largely on the
testimony Of handwriting expert:
which, he said, conclusively showed
Molineux to have been the writer o
the poison package address and Of tn
disputed exhibits.

Three men who were at work on top

bridges suspended from the main
cables, burning away supports until

fell with a mighty splash and hiss

bridge carried away scores of lighter
cables and guys which trailed in the
water, rendering it necessary for the
police to stop all traffic up and down

| Puritan and several other crafts had
narrow escapes while running the
gauntlet of the fiery brands that fell

was the most spectacular cOnfiagra-
