WELSH RAREBIT TALES.
Complimentary Notices of the Press.

Commenting on "Welsh Rarebit
Tales, - the author of which is Harle
Oren Cummins of this city, the Bur
lington News says:
Vermont has borne an honored part
in the world of letters with such
writers TO her credit as John G.. SAKE,
Judge Thompson and Rowland Rob
lnson, but these have now gone the
way of the world, leaving the laurels
of Vermont to he upheld by newer
and younger generation.
o 1t is interesting to note that as the
late Rowland Robinson was doing the
last of a long life's work, a young
Vermonter was just beginning his in
the same field. This young man is
Harle Oren Cummins, native of
Montpelier and a graduate this year
of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
THE Cummins book of stories,
"Welsh Rarebit Tales, has just been
issued by the Mutual Book Company,
Boston, Mass, and has at once made
a decided hit Mr.. Cummins' forte
is writing short and somewhat pecu-
liar stories that often startle, always
interest, frequently amuse and not
seldom instruct or point moral.
His work is fresh and vigorous
and all his own. Heretofore, his
work has been confined to magazines
and this is his first excursion into
book print. The book is a perfect
specimen of the typographer's art and
is illustrated by r. Emmett Owen,
the well known New York artist.
The Boston Evening Record pays
the following complimentary notice to
Harle Oren Cummins of this city, who
is at present student in the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology; lit
is not often that a technical and
literary profession are combined
| Such seems to be the case, however,
with Harle Oren Cummins, the author
! of welsh Rarebit Tales which is
! just out of the publishers hands this
week. Mr.. Cummins, besides being
regular contributor to McClure's,
Munsey's, and various newspapers,
| including the Record, will receive the
degree of s. B.. as mining engineer
this year at the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology "Welsh Rarebit
Tales, collection of fifteen of Mr..
! Cummins' best short stories, is hand
| somely bound in black red and gold
and is illustrated by Owen. "

DOES NOT CONFIRM RUMOR.

Newspaper reports have been sent
out from Barre to the effect that AL
vim f. Sortwell is negotiating for the
sale of the Barre railroad to the Cen
trail Vermont road which will thus
be absorbed by the Grand Trunk sys-
TEN.
w. a. Stowell, vice president of the
Barre railroad and closely allied with
Mr.. Sortwell's railroad interests in
this section, was seen by a Jour
nal reporter in regard to the mat
ter and said he knew nothing about
any such deal being under way except
as he had read it in the papers. He
further said he did not believe there
was any intention of selling the road
to the Central Vermont He said the
Central Vermont officials did visit the
road a few days ago and take trip
over 1t as it was their first opportun-
ity to do so. When the Barre railroad
was first built only between eight and
ten miles were constructed but it has
been extended so that at present the
total number of miles of road and its
feeders is about twenty six
This extension expense has been
paid from the earnings of the road
which are probably the largest of any
of its size in New England This fact
explains why the road has never paid
any dividends, the dividends going to
extend and equip the road.
The increasing of the capital stock
from $50, 600 to 800, 900 will, if the
recommendation voted at the recent
animal meeting of the stockholders
be carried out, place the road on a
dividend paying basis. Mr.. Sortwell
controls about ninety eight Ter cent
of the stock in this road, as he does in
the Montpelier and Wells River rail.

TRUTH AND CANDOR.

The st. Adams Messenger of We'd
nesday contained an item in which 1t
was stated that the Chairman of the
Bennington Republican caucus refused
to recognize any but Mccullough men
and crowded through motion to elect
Mccullough delegates by a rising vote,
etc, The following day it retracted
the statement saying that the private
telegram was sent by an unfortunate
of unsound mind, If the Messenger
undertakes to apologize for all the
cases of this kind in its office since it
took up the Proctor cause it will not
get through with the campaign before
next March. Mortified News.

Illustrates the danger of over conf.

take the trouble to vote to have chang

that Mccullough delegates would be
elected and therefore it was unneces-

the matter. It's pretty high price
to pay, but nevertheless it may be
worth it in warning Mccullough sup

THE GOVERNOR CASE TO DATE.

There has been but one side TO the
demonstrating sense and reason,
honor and regard for the State. Op-
posed to these have been sophistry,
noise without substance, a campaign
of clamor shifting from one false claim
to another equally false, but growing
pettier as the resources of calumny
and misrepresentation even of past
masters in such acts began to dwindle
and fail. The candidacy of Proctor,
in the course of tie canvass, has be-
come burdened with such clogs as

A JEKYLL AND HYDE CASE.


Boston, Nov. SIN connection with
the 10 murderous assault cases which
have occurred in Cambridge, Brook
line and Someryile in the last few
months, two OF which resulted fa-
tally, the state police yesterday ar
rested Alan q. Mason, Of Boston, o
well-known and wealthy business
man, u member of the piano manu-
featuring firm of Mason & Hamlin,
u prominent club member and d Har-
yard graduate. The police suspect,
from evidence in their hands, that
Mr.. Mason has been involved In near
ly all Of the cases referred to as the
circumstances have been very similar.
Mr.. Mason is "a middle aged man, but
he has been a victim of mental
trouble for which he was treated at
the Mclean asylum at Waverly.
About year ago he was permitted
to leave the institution. Since that
time, ii is said, he has been permit
ted TO go and come at will and the
fact that he had been frequently
seen about the localities in which
the assaults occurred, led to sus-
picion against him.

ELECTRIC CAR RUNS WILD.
Two Persons Killed, Six Injured and .
Wagon and Saloon Demolished by
the Runaway.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 5.-An elec.
trio car, northbound on Broadway,
got beyond the control of the motor
man yesterday morning and ran at a
terrific speed to Fifth street, where
II left the rails and crashed into
James Moran's saloon, on the north.
east corner of Fifth and Broadway
Two persons who were not in the
runaway car, were killed, and six
were injured. The dead are Mrs
Margaret Crist, of Olathe, Kan, who
was struck by the car while she was
standing on the sidewalk and Charles
Johnson, negro driver of a coal
wagon. The wagon was also com.
pletely demolished. The car was
forced into the saloon for about Ii
feet and so firmly imbedded there
that it was necessary to- use axes in
cutting away the broken timbers OF
its wrecked vestibule and those en-
tering into the construction of the
big double entrance to the saloon, be.
fore the motorman, Mcmillan, could
be released. Portions Of the front
wall of the building, two-story
structure, fell with crash as the
car moved. The wreck made a hole
in the saloon that reached to the
roof and allowed furniture in the up.
stairs rooms to drop into the street.
All the passengers in the car were in.
jured, but none seriously.

THE RESULT IN MISSOURI.
The State Democratic by Safe Plurality
Five Other Parties In the Field POlled
Less Than $4,000 Votes.

St. Louis, Nov. Sit Is conceded
generally from returns up to two
o'clock this morning that Missouri
is democratic by safe plurality. In
dications are that the democratic
plurality in the state ticket will hard
ly fall below 10000 and may be much
greater. Both branches of the legis-
lature are democratic The house
has sufficient majority to insure
the election of a democrat to sue
ceed United States Senator Vest,
Judging from the returns to this
hour it is estimated that the five
other parties in the state polled less
than $4,000 votes. In st. Louis the
democratic plurality estimate of
earlier in the evening was reduced
to 5000 to 10000. The entire demo-
cratic city ticket is believed to have
been elected.

THE KANSAS ELECTloN.


Topeka, Kan, Nov. 5.-Kansas has
gone republican by at least 10000
majority. The entire state ticket
and all the eight congressman are
elected by the republicans. The re.
publicans will have 100 members Of
the legislature. The democrats did
not expect to elect their state ticket
but were surprised that W. H. Grad
dock, their candidate for governor,
did not run better than he did. w.
]. Bailey, the republican candidate
for governor, runs ahead of his
ticket.
A great fight was made on 7. T.
Kelly, republican candidate for
treasurer, but he gained enough from
the democrats to more than offset
any disatfection in the republican
ranks.
The democrats had devoted most
of their attention to the legislature.
There was factional fight among
the republicans for United States
senator which made it seem that the
democrats had a good chance to carry
the Legislature. In a few counties
they made gains, but the republican
majority in that body will be about
the same as last year.
Returns from over the state late
last night show that the republican
county officers were generally elect
ed. 1t was the most complete re-
publican victory since the days be-
fore populism.
Morton Albaugh, republican state
chairman, said last night that prac-
tically every member of the legisla-
ture would be republican.
The democratic state committee
comedies the republican claims in
everything except the legislature.
