Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1902-11-08

The old story of the man who saw
on the rail of the organ gallery in a
little western church a placard bear
ing the words: Don't shoot the organ
list. He's doing the best he can" has
lately been matched by another some
what like it.
A man recently returned from min
ing region where one Sunday he at
tended service in the only church for
miles around. As he entered the strains
of an organ, apparently in great dis
tress, reached his ears. and when he
was seated he looked up to discover
who the player was.
On the back of the parlor organ,
which stood on the platform. was a
neatly lettered square of pasteboard
which read, Come up and try it your

signs That Venezuela Rebellion II
Not Suppressed After All.
Paris, Nov S.-The foreign Office has
received an official dispatch from Ca
racas saying that President Castro is
unable to send minister to Paris ow-
ing to the present disturbed condition
of Venezuela.
Diplomatic relations between the two
countries have been suspended for the
past eight years, France being tempo
rarely represented by charge DAT
flares at Caracas. Owing to the pres
ent revolution France desired to es-
tablish minister near the scene and
recently addressed President Castro
suggesting that the French minister
would assume his post when the Vene-
zuelan minister to France was ap!
pointed.
Castro's answer is regarded as indi-
eating that his position is too precari-
GUS to warrant any one of prominence
accepting the post here.

In marriage to said Henry Matthew'S;
that she on her part had faithfully

Washington. Nov S.-The annual re.
port Of General M. l. Ludington, quar-
termaster general. is review of the
work done by his department during
the year. The most interesting feature
what he has to say regarding the
transports in view of the desire in some
quarters to dispose of them. He says
mat the ships are fitted up in the best
possible shape for the transportation
d troops and that representatives Of
Foreign nations have asked for plans OF
me fittings, with a view of improving
their transports. The report continues:
Nearly every ship sailing from Ma
lila had on board about 100 sick, who
we're provided with every attention
nd comfort in the transport hospitals
nat would be found in any well regu-
ated hospital ashore. OF the many
thousands Of persons who have been
transported on the vessels Of the army

ne life has been sacrificed by reason

nodations upon the army transports.
In view Of this excellent record and
the experience of the department in
Es futile efforts to secure suitable COM
aercial ships for the transportation OF

no the further fact that when with
rawn from active service the trans
orts cannot be advantageously dis
osed of by sale, am firmly convinced
nat even though circumstances should
ermit the withdrawal Of the trans
orts from regular line service to the
