TODD that liquor could not be obtained

stood that liquor could not De obtained
there.
The foundation for the statement
made by the telegram is undoubtedly
the claim made some years ago by
patron of the hotel that he obtained
liquor there in one instance. The
facts of the case as we understand
them are that the man came TO Barton
for no other reason than to see il he
could get liquor at this hotel. In
other words he was "epotter," one
of a class the Telegram has always
condemned. Under the plea of being
ill he managed to obtain from the
clerk of the house some liquor which
he had for his own family use, and for
which he refused to be paid, but to
make it purchase the spotter threw
down his money and walked out.
That a certain amount of liquor was
sold in Barton illegally is undoubtedly
true but the Telegram very well knows
that no law could prevent this. The
same can be said of every town in
Vermont under the present law. The
strong support which the prohibitory
law received in Orleans and Caledonia
counties vas due to the fact that the
law had proved very effective.
The MONITOR advocated the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law and
has taken the same position in regard
to the present measure. 1t has never
hesitated to sustain and render assist
ance to every effort to lessen the evils
of intelnperance. Yet we frankly
admit that we never succeeded in
bringing about that ideal condition
which the Telegram and other license
advocates insist should be the result
of prohibitory law, and for the lack
of which under prohibition the law
was censured while under license it is
the people who get the blame.
However If the Telegram is really
anxious to help to bring about a
change which it admits should be
made it will be able to do far better
work if it desists from making attacks
upon the citizens of other towns and
confines itself strictly to the work of
improving the condition of the city Of
Barre, which, if reports are true, really
nee de the best attention of the Tele-
gram fully as much as any town in
this section of the state.

States a complete land barrier be-
tween Canada and the sea from the
Portland canal to Mt. st. Elias. The
decision of the commission is emf
nently satisfactory. 1t sustains sub
stautially the entire American claim
and is essentially complete justifi-
cation of the position taken by tie
American members of the United
States and British joint high commits
sion which met in Quebec in 1898.
The United States will now be per-
mitted to hold all the territory in
Alaska purchased of Russia in 1867
without further dispute. Our title,
which was never disputed until the
last few years, since the gold dis
coveries, is now quieted.

The general opinion expressed by
the southern newspapers on the Till
man acquittal is that while it is a
disgrace to the state it is just what
was expected. While no one except
Tllna ans personal friends believed
him innocent nevertheless his ac-
quittal was expected by everyone.
If the expressions of the press repre-
sent the sentiment of the people the
indignation felt by the citizens of
South Carolina should result in a
different method in the future of
melting out justice by the courts of
the state.

Cresceus broke the worlds trotting
record for mile Monday afternoon,
going the distance in 1899, beating
the previous record held by Lou

DOUBLE MURDER.
SWIFT RETRIBUTION
Negro Kills Woman and
Child and Is Shot By
Police Sergeants.

SHREVEPORT, La, April 11.-Mrs.
Aline Matthews, aged forty-seven
years, wife of Frank Matthews. a we'll
known civil engineer, was murdered In
her bed early this morning by a negro.
who, it is believed outraged his vic
tim before killing her. The victims
little daughter, Aline, aged ten. was
fatally injured. An ak was used in
both instances.
Edward Porter, a negro, strongly
suspected of the crime, was shot by
two police sergeants while resisting
arrest. He had been run down five
miles from Shreveport.
The discovery of the crime was made
this morning by a servant who entered
the bed room. The woman, who was
almost hacked to pieces, had been dead
for some time. Her daughter was still
alive when the servant entered. En-
trance was effected through a screen
window, and although there were fif-
teen persons In the house, which is
situated in the very heart of the resi-
dence district of Shreveport, no one
heard suspicious sound during the
night. The skull of Mrs. Matthews
was crushed. The childs skull was
fractured, her chest crushed and Shout
ders lacerated. Mrs. Matthews wore
diamond ring and diamond earrings
which were not touched by the mur-
derer and three pocketbooks containing
money We're in the room, Indicating
that criminal assault furnished the
motive for the crime. An ak covered
with blood and hair was found in the
kitchen.
Blood hounds took up the trail but
lost 1t after going a short distance. A
Kansas City Southern engineer noti-
fed the police of the appearance of a
negro covered with blood on the track
of the railway and a posse was. organ
lied to hunt him down. The posse
separated and Sergeants Gerald and
Roquemore soon came upon the negro,
Ed Porter. He made desperate dash
for ravine and the officers fired four
shots at him, two of which took effect
in his back, killing him instantly. The
negro's clothing was covered with blood
and his shoes fitted the bloody foot
prints in the kitchen of the Matthews
home.
SHREVEPORT, La, April 12.-This
morning at 1870 o'clock the body of
Porter was taken to the head of Texas
street by mob of about 100 men, plac-
ed on funeral pyre and cremated
There was no noise or demonstration
The police attempted to bury the ne
gro's body before the crowd could get
it, but failed.

DAMAGED IN THE
SILENCE OF NIGHT
Automatic Sprinkler Does More Harm
Than the Fire 1t Puts Out.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, April 11.-That a fire
causing damage OF 100000 could start
and rage and be eXtinguished in the
dead of night in the heart of the city
without anybody knowing anything
about it is a fact which Fire Marshal
Musham and the insurance men are
pondering. The extent of the loss is
due to the fact that an automatic fire
extinguishing sprinkler system is not
gifted with human intelligence and
does not know when to stop.
D. w. Gillen, commander of the fire
insurance patrol, has reported the cir
cumstances to the board of underwrit-
ers. He found that some time after
the engineer of the building at Van
Buren and Market streets had left his
post for the night fire broke out on
the fourth story, occupied by E. E.
Strauss & Co., tailors. The fire started
in the middle of the large room, pre-
sumably because of a cigar end thrown
among pieces of cloth. When the air
got warm enough the fusible plugs of
the sprinkler system were melted and
water descended and put out the fire,
which was insignificant The sprinkler
kept on pouring water from the pipes
until 5000 gallons had been rained
down on the fourth and the lower
stories

disorder following the notification to

AS the result of Dr. Zahm's visit. 100
brothers and priests and 100 sisters are
going to the United States, and about
the same number to Canada. He SAYS
most OF them speak French and Ger

ANOTHER BRIGHAM
YOUNG is DEAD
Termination of the Long Ill
ness Of the Head of the
Mormon Church.

SALT LAKE, Utah, April 11.-Brig-
ham Young, president of the council of
twelve apostles of the Mormon church,
died in this city tonight after a linger-
Ing illness. He was born at Kirkland,
Ohio, in 1886, and was the oldest son of
President Brigham Young.
Throughout his life Brigham Young
had been prominently identified with
the work of the Mormon church, both
at home and abroad. He was a mem
Der of the Utah legislature for several
terms and had occupied many positions
of honor and trust. He came to Utah
in 1S49, making the perilous journey
across the trackless plains while yet a
mere boy. Like all the pioneers In this
valley, his life, when he was not fight
ing hostile Indians, was spent perform
ing hard manual labor.
Young made several trips abroad in
the interest of his church, and, in 1864,
was president of the European mission.
In 1879 he was imprisoned for refusing
to turn certain church property over to
the government agent, but was releas-
ed after three weeks confinement.

CORRUPTION IN
P. 0. DEPARTMENT
Wagonmakers Said to Have
Profited by Advance
Information.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April IL
There were two important develop
ments today in the investigation of the
poStoff1ce department. The first was
the filing of charges that advance in
formation has been furnished wagon
manufacturers regarding rural routes,
and the other is the issuance of an Or
der to Postmaster Van Coot, of New
York, directing him to hold up all Of
the promotion and extra-work allow
ance ases,pending arrangement for the
New York city service for the next
fiscal year. Fresh charges were filed
by a Western establishment engaged
In the manufacture Of vehicles. alleg-
ing that competing houses had gotten
the benefit of advance information re-
garding rural free delivery routes, and
the appointment of rural free delivery
carriers. The charges allege that the
complaining company, upon announce
ment of appointment of rural carriers
gave instructions to their agents in
various sections to negotiate for the
sale of vehicles for use in performing
postal service, and in many instances
the agents reported that the carriers
had procured their outfits some two or
three weeks before. 1t is also alleged
that in one instance cited a represent
ative of a certain factory was accom-
panied on the route by the regular car
rier thereof. the latter advising and
urging the sale Of the article offered
by the competing representatives The
complaint says the charges preferred
"savor of the star route method en-
ployed twenty-five years ago."
When the attention of Postmaster
General Payne was called to these
charges, he admitted that they had
been filed and would be turned over to
the inspectors for consideration.
An order issued today by Acting
Postmaster General Wynne directs the
postmaster at New York to withhold
any action on the promotions or any
other allowances recently ordered, and
to return certain of these cases. The
full list of promotions to be made in
the New York office will not be finally
made up until the cases are thorough
ly investigated. Postmaster Van Colt
will be held responsible for any pro-
motions that he indorses, and any not
fndorsed by him in the usual way will
not be allowed to go though There
were 1,776 promotions. and an allow
ance of 300 additional clerks at $500
