CITY OF MONTPELIER.

Every resident of Montpelier will
be interested in the new and up-to-
date history of the city, which is to
appear in the April number of the
Vermonter. 1t will be unique in its
character and unlike any history pre-
viously published. The opening chap
ter will be devoted to a sketch of the
municipal government Of Montpelier
and the administration of city affairs
up to the present time. The expendi-
lures made for schools, streets, sew
ers, sidewalks, water, fire, and other
departments, as well as their present
condition will be noted. The resources,
property valuation and tax rate will
be given by years.
Another chapter will be devoted to
the financial, commercial, industrial,
and business interests of Montpelier,
A complete list Of the mayors, alder
men, and other officers since 1895 will
be included in the article. The his
tory will be illustrated by portraits of
the former mayors and of the mayor,
aldermen, school commissioners and
other city officers for 1902. There
will also be illustrations of the public
buildings, school houses, and of the Ii
brary, hospital, fire department., etc.
A revised map showing the streets
and city boundaries will form valu-
able feature.

IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Mch. 11.-For nearly
two hours on Monday Mr.. Vest OF
Missouri addressed the Senate in op-
position to the pending ship subsidy
bill. No member of the body has been
accorded more fatteringly close at
tention than he received. Despite his
evident feebleness he spoke with force
and fire and at times became brilliant
ly eloquent. He carefully analysed
the pending measure and particularly
attacked the present navigation laws,
which he declared were relics of bar-
barism and responsible for the decline
of our merchant marine
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina fol
lowed with brief speech i'll opposi-
tion to the bill. He denounced the
policy of giving subsidies to anybody,
particularly to individuals and cor.
porations engaged in the formation OF
shipping trusts.
The bill to classify the rural free
delivery service and place the carrier,
under the contract system, which has
been debated in the House for over q
week was passed without division,
but in form that completely changed
the purpose for which it was framed.
Before it was passed the bill was al.
tered radically by its opponents All
the provisions relating to the placing
of carriers under the contract system
were stricken out and the salary sys-
tenn not only was continued but the
maximum salary of carriers was in
creased from $500 to 5000 per annum.

DEADLY COAL GAS.

Sarah, widow of the late Andrew j.
Burnham, who lives alone at her home
on East Liberty street, was nearly as
phyXiated Saturday night by gas from
a coal stove She is still unconscious,
and Doctors Lindsay and Chandler,
her attending physicians, expect ia
tai termination of the accident.
The story circulated on Sunday
that Mrs. Burnham had attempted
suicide was evidently without foun-
dation. Sometime during Sunday fore
noon the neighbors of Mrs. Burnham,
not seeing any stir at her house, made
an investigation. They could see her
lying in bed, evidently asleep, but
could not arouse her by rapping on
the window. All the doors were
locked
About noon Sheriff Bancroft was
summoned. He broke in window and
entered the room where Mrs. Burn
ham was lying. The coal gas was
sitting, and the sheriff opened all the
windows and doors. 1t was found
that the hampers to a coal stove in the
room had accidentally been left in a
way to throw the gas into the room,
and that the force of the gas had blown
open the stove door
Physicians were summoned but up
to noon today all attempts to rouse Mrs.
Burnham to consciousness were of no
avail. Mrs. Wesson, Thresher, an
adopted daughter, who lives at Shady
Rill, and other relatives were noti-
fed.
A crowd of morbidly curious people
surrounded the house all day Sunday,
and it was necessary to station a po-
liceman there Sunday night to keep
the crowd at respectful distance.
Overseer Wheeler was summoned Sun
day noon. He advised sending Mrs.
Burnham to the hospital, where she
would have proper care, but the ply
scians did not think it advisable to
move her. Mrs. Burnham had never
fully recovered from a broken leg and
exposure by lying in the snow several
hours year or more ago, when a
horse she was driving ran and threw
her out
Mrs. Sarah Burnham died mt one o.
clock Tuesday morning without becoming
conscious " and Mrs. Thresher We're
with her when the end came.
Mrs. Burnham was seventy-eight years
old. Since the death of Andrew j. Burn
ham, her husband, ten years ago, she had
lived at the home on East Liberty street,
where she lied
Deceased leaves an adopted daughter
Mrs. Wisson Thresher of Shady Kill, aud
one sister, Mrs. Clark Trow, of Hardwicll,
and four brothers, Ira Morse of Norris
Vile, Robert Morse of Astoria, Oregon.
Andrew J Morse of West Woodbury.,
and Benjamin Morse of East Gilmore.
Funeral services will be held from the
late home of the deceased on Wednesday
afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. Edward
Wright officiating. Burial will be in the
family lot beside the remains of her hus-
band in Green Mount cemetery.

THE CANKER WORM.

Our citizens should wake up to the
fact that the canker worm pest that
defoliated the elms on State street last
season has, in all probability, foot
hold here and prompt action is neces-
sary to save the foliage on our elms
and possibly fruit trees this coming
season.
This pest remains in the ground
over winter in a chrysalis state, and
in this latitude the moths emerge just
as soon as the snow has gone. The
male moth can fly, but the female can
not. The female moth at once begins
climbing the tree where the flying
males are met, and the female lays
the eggs on the branches, from which
hatch the worms or caterpillars that
destroy the foliage. To prevent this,
the female moths must be kept from
climbing by brands of tarred paper
around the trees and smeared with tar
or printers ink or other sticky sub
stance that must be kept freshly
smeared until the female moth dies.
Probably "sticky fly paper" will an
swer the purpose, but whatever is
done must be done soon.
This pest has been at work in South
ern New England many years, where
its habits are understood. 1t is much
more easily checked than the maple
worm, but while the elms will Leaf
out again, repeated defoliations will
kill the trees. P. B.

PROFIT IN FARMING.

All kinds of farm produce have been
high during the past year, and farmers
generally have shared in the prosperity
of the country. AS our population III
creases the demands upon the farms must
accordingly increase
The demand for potatoes the past win
ter has been so great as 10 raise the price
TO point where they have been import,
ed from Europe. These conditions viii!
cause many farmers TO increase then
acreage of planted crops this year. Those
who, because of scarcity of labor or other
reasons, cannot increase their acreage,
will naturally bend their energies to max
ing each acre produce its utmost,
Good fertilizers are an important factor
in modern farming, an the time for pur-
chasing them is at hand.
Among the various makes now offered
there is none having IA stronger hold on
the community for general reliability
than Bradley's old established brands
The Bradley Fertilizers have been i'm
proved from time time To meet the re,
quirements of advanced agriculture, ano
now, as for the past forty years, they art
the standard of excellence.

ANOTHER VERMONT BOY

The following extracts from a recent
letter written by John X. Stone, sol
of John M. Stone of Brookfield, to his
| parents, are of interest, as coming
from an eye witness, one who is daily
associated with scenes and events,
only made real to us by the descrip.
tions of others. Mr. Stone is in the
| United States hospital service and
writes from the island of Samar.
After the special "home message
and mention of steamer. lust sighted
which it was hoped would bring long
looked for letters, as well as military
orders, that to some would mean home
going, he writes:
1.-THE natives keep coming in with
their families, including three or four
generations of half clad savages. and
in punches of from ten to fifty. They
are, | think, getting tired of playing
hide and seek with the troops when
the chances are in favor of being slot
at sight | am caring for two natives
who have been wounded. One of
them has ichthyosis, sometimes call
ed fish diease. We have a leper col
only about a mile and a half from
here. These people have no doctors
and no medicine to sLeak of, though
cocoanut oil is considered something
of a cureall. They seem to have great
confidence in the skill of Americana
Medicos. All who present themselves
have to live in town but may get
passes to go out i'll the daytime to get
food and building material.
- do not believe it will ever be
possible to starve these people out of
the mountains, the country is so pro-
ductive, though there has been some
effort in this direction by the destruc-
tion of food supplies; but the growth
of vegetation is so rapid, and besides,
there are so many plants used for food
that the soldier does not recognize,
that it will he very difficult, if not
impossible.
we have scouting parties out all the
time with orders to shoot all who do
not halt at command, and they always
bring in large number of prisoners.
Most of the prisoners are fined, and
If they can't pay, they have to work
it out in improving the Post.
Mr.. Stone also writes of the dangers
of the coast at this time of the year,
of the constantly falling rain, the long
hard marches in the mud and sleeping
without shelter-the hardships which
fall to the lot of the soldier, but which
he was fortunate enough to escape for
once, since he was hospital corps"
man.
Recent telegraphic news have given
a description of some of the perils ac-
companying those marches. Mr.. Stone
expects soon to be ordered to Manila.
