into the park gathere arosnd on the
hills ana saw what the others had
paid r, and what had cost Rugg &

the people. OF those who came into
the park a good number found the
base ball game strong attraction,
and watched it from the start until
the finish. The races were well con-
tested. They we're half-mile heats,
three heats to a race. The track was
in excellent shape and the time made

scoring, thanks to ghe starter, Chester

Considerable sport was created by

Between the hea is OF the different
races Miss Lillian Hoffman gave "A
very pleasing exhibition with her

MEMORIAL DAY EX-
ERCISES IN BARRE

whose characters are patterned after
your illustrious example,"
He then briefly summarized the les
sen Of the civil war as it came down
to the young men and women Of the
present generation in the inspiring ex-
ample OF their fathers who had pre-
served the union at so much sacrifice,
and emphasized the ftct that it was
the example OF their fathers and the
lessons Of patriotism taught at their
mothers knee, that made the boys OF
1913 rally to the defense Of the flag In
the war with Spain.
The speaker briefly alluded to the
melancholy experience Of the volunt nteer
soldiers In the war Of '98 and drew
from 1t the lesson that the advice OF
Washington to prepare for war in time
OF peace should never be again
neglected.
Then the speaker continued; ~
come to you tod " TO speak in behalf
Of the young men and young women
OF Vermont who are striving to be of
that service to their country In time
of peace that their fathers were in
time Of war. l come to remind them
Of the great responsibility that de.
wolves u2on them, to remind them
that the destiny Of this great nation
will soon be contided to their keeping,
and to counsel them that only In the
faithful pattern after the noble deeds
Of their fathers can they work out the
wonderful possibilities that the future
holds in store for our country. l
would caution them not to mistake
the 'esson OF this Memorial Day. 1t
is not necessary to go to war to be
good citizens. Do not forget that
my young friends. 1t is not neces
sary to 60 to war to be good citizens.
Most Z jod citizens never wore the
soldiers blue, never carried the sword
or the riff. There may come a time
when the test OF good citizenship may
be your willingness to go to war if
yyur duty calls you there. But some
men have unmistakable duty in other
directions, and all men may be great
and good citizens when there is no
war. Above all things, then, do not mis-.
take the less on Of this Memorial Day
Do not be misled by the empha is
laid upon the glory Of the soldier.
Remember, it is the particular glory
Of the American soldier that he was a
good citizen before he was a solder,
and that he was if anything a better
citizen afterward. That's why the
Old World wondered.
l would counsel you not to be
swerved from the sober, serious con.
ten. plation of the stern routine and
commonplace realities of life by the
fascinating glitter Of martial pomp
and warlike preparations which for
the four years past have been such
every day matters in this fair land OF
ours. would c,ution you to remem-
that not all heroiSm is displayed on

Crime of Circumstantial Evidence.

History is full of instances where
innocent men have been hung for
murder and other crimes on circum-
stantial evidence, the facts Of the
case frequently not being known until
many years after the tragic mistake
has been made, but probably no Cir
cumStance of this kind has ever car
ried with it a more shocking realiza-
tion of the enormity Of a mans life
being taken by the law because cicum-
stances are apparently against him
than a case the details Of which have
recently been published. In Rich-
mond, Va, on October the third, John
Wesley Hicks, convicted Of the muir
der of Milton Bourne, his son-in-laW,
was hanged at Louisa Court House.
Just twenty years ago, a nam was
hanged in Virginia because circun1-
stantial evivence pointed to the con-
clusion that he had murdered for
their money an old man and his wife
named Massey. So strong was the
evidence that everyone believed that
the prisoner committed the crime;
but the sequal proves that lawyers,
Judge. jury and public were wrong.
The sequel is this: just before Hicks
paid the death penalty last week ne
publicly confessed that he had COM
mitted the crime for which another
had paid his life, detailing the circum-
stances in such a manner as left no
doubt in his hearers minds as to his
own guilt and martyrdom Of the man
who died asserting his innocence.

4 EO,,r DayS Battle.

The battle near La Victoria. Nene-
zuela, between the army commanded
by President Castro and the reyolu-
tionary forces, which began Monday
morning and resulted in the retire
men of President Castro to La Vic
toria Tuesday afternoon, was resumed
again fercely at 5 o'clock Wednesday
morning. st that time the president
had received reenforcementS and had
over 5000 men engaged against 1000
revolutioniSts. The artillery played
a part never before seen in Venezuela.
Shortly before o'clock Wednesday
afternoon the reyolutionistS appeared
to have gained a slight advantage.
The presidents artillery, which num-
bered Is guns, had been reduced to
four guns. La Victoria was crowded
with wounded, and there were no pro-
visions in the town. The British cru
iser Indefatigable has left La Guayra
for TucacaS, with provisions for the
foreign residents here, some of whom
are said to be dying Of hunger as a
result of the concentration measures
adopted by the Venezuelan authori-
ties. The Indefatigable, to accom-
rliSh her mission. will have to run the
blockade of TucacaS.

The Handy Pistol.

Mr.. Perry Mitchem, well-to-do-
farmer living in the upper part Of
Morgan county, Ga, shot and almost
instantly killed Walter Booth, Of Mad
ison, Ca, and Mr.. Handy, Of Fair
place, at Madison Wednesday after
noon. Walter L. Mains circus was in
Madison and a very large crowd gath
cred there to witness the performance.
1t is said that many people were
drunk and whiskey flowed freely The
fight in which Mitchem killed Booth
and Handy, occurred over dispute
about a bottle of whisky. 1t appears
that the dispute was between Mitch
EN- and Handy, and that Booth was
a disinterested party attempting to
act as peace maker between the two
men. Mitchem fired five shots from
his revolver, two of which killed the
two men and two of the remaining
three taking effect in bystanders. One
white man and one negro were in
iured by stray bullets. The shooting
occurred in an alley in the rear of the
store of Vason Brothers. Mr.. Booth
leaves a wife and four children. Mr..
Handy was single man. Mitchem
was drunk at the time the shooting
occurred. Late last night he stated
that he was very sorry he killed Mr..
Booth who had nothing to do with
the trouble. Mitchem is in jail.

fire started in a truck load of furni-

and James Kelly, stablemen, were in
the basement where they had rooms.
Over the window Of the room in which
they were was a stout wire netting.
The policemen pulled this away and
drew the men out. Heyland was un
conscious and burned slightly. Kelly
had struggled in such strenuous
manner, with the grating trying to
force it up so that he and his comrade
could get out that his hands were
torn and bleeding, his arms and wrists
lacerated and in many places there
were gaping wounds on his hands and

Woman Drawing Plows.

An Iowa traveller back from the

hardships of life there. He says: l
saw colony of Galicians in Saskatch-

traordinary exhibition of human pa
thence and fortitude I ever beheid. l
saw from a dozen to fifteen women
hitched two and two on an lS-nlch
breaking ploW, and they marched
straight ahead through the tough
ground with that plow, tearing up i've
acres day on an average. Inere
was a man holding the plow. The
work these people did was as effective
as could have been done by horse or
oxen. The women seemed to take to
their hard labor as a matter OF course.
They are very cheerful over it. l am
told that scores Of these women who
draw plows all day have vitality
enough left to dance through the

Wants to Come Here.

The Secretary Of State has received
a letter from Henry Spang, of st.
Louis. Mo-, who is connected with a
large wholesale dry goods house, look
ing to the establishment of a hosiery
mill in South Carolina. For the infor-
nation of the different towns OF the
State, who would like to have such a
mill, the, letter is herewith publish d..
1t reads as follows:
Dear'Sir: The writer is seeking a
location for a hosiery mill, which will
employ about one hundred hands at
the start, and possibly employ 200 to
800 in the course Of a few years. The
labor wanted must be white and cheap
in order to compete successfully with
eastern manufacturers. A town Of
l,5O0 to 1900 inhabitants, with a
good coal supply and good shipping
Facilities to St. Louis, is desired.
The writer has been informed that d
good many Southern towns are offer
ing certain concessions to induce man.
ufacturerS to locate in their city, and
OF course any such concessions would
be cutie an inducement to me. Would
also prefer to get as close to the cot
ton yarn spinning district as possible,
and would prefer to locate in a town
where there is no hosiery mill at pre-
sent. Any information with which
YOU can supply the writer will be very
much appreciated, and would mention
that l can furnish the very highest
class Of references. l desire to take
this matter up shortly, and would
thank you to give same your earliest
q attention
