Y. M. @. II. PLANS.

@. II. More was in Burlington on
Friday attending meeting OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the Vermont
Young Mems Christian Association.
Plans for the State work were perfect
ed and a call to become State secre-
tary was extended to F. S. Morrison,
railroad secretary at Concord, N. H.
If he accepts the call he will come to
Vermont on July 1. The organiza-
ton OF the committee was perfected
by electing Frank H. Brooks, of st.
Johnsbury as chairman, and Mr.. More
as treasurer. Two thousand dollars
was appropriated for the State and
county work. Three are thirteen as
sociations in the State, five in colleges
and academies and the others at Ben
nington, Rutland, Burlington, st.
Johnsbury, Brattleboro and Montpe-
lier. By the plan for the county
work it will be possible to have a Sec
rotary in each county, thereby max
ing successful work possible in the
towns and villages.

Deputy Secretary OF State Jesse
Harvey is engaged in sorting the file
of old documents and putting them un-
der proper classifications. In the early
days of the State system was not nee
essary as it is now, so much trouble
has frequently been had in finding
old documents. About month ago
by accident, the original document
describing the State line between
Vermont and New York was discov-
cred among papers labeled death
warrants" 1t was happy find, for
Ex-Governor w. W. Stickney was
about to proceed with the New York
authorities to mark the line under a
description in another document
which this original proved to be er-
roneous in some respects.
s. S. Ballard, general agent of the
National Life Insurance Co., has re-
ceived check of $1,000 which he
has forwarded to Mrs. Roy A. Free
man of Concord, N. H. in payment of
a policy on the life of her husband
who was recently killed by the cars,
The prompt payment OF the amount
will be extremely gratifying to the
beneficiary inasmunh as the last pre-
MUM on the policy, due in February,
had not been paid, and she not un-
derstanding the extended insurance
option clause in the policy was
in doubt about its value. Mrs Free
man has three children dependent up
on her for support and in this instance
the liberal feature of the National )
policies brought genuine blessing.

LICENSE IN STO WE.

Stowe, May 81. The new license
law has been in force here for about a
month and it has worked very salts
factorily. During that time only two
arrests for intoxication have been
made and in these cases license could
hardly be said to he the cause of their
indiscretion. There seems TO be no
more drunkenness than before, and
the expected influx of thirsty crowds
from surrounding towns has not &C.
Cured, This may be partially &C.
counted for by the fact that the near
by towns of Morristown and Hyde
Park both voted for license, but what
ever the cause it is generally conced
ed that the conditions are no worse
than under the old law. Two licenses
are in force, first class at the Green
Mountain Inn, and a second class at
j. J. veran's drug store.

SUICIDE At BARRE.
Angus Nicholson of Barre commi

Angus Nicholson of Barre committed
suicide on Friday by hanging. The
scene of the tragedy was in piece of
woods just off Sixth street and al
though the hanging body was in plain
view from the electric car line it was
it not discovered for several hours
after the deed was committed. This
body was found by boy named
Drumgould who was on his way to
drive some COWS home. He immediate
ly told his parents who in turn noti-
fed Mayor Jackson. The latter with
his son, DR.. Joe jackson, Immediately
went to the spot and lowered the
body, which was cold and rigid show
ing that death had occurred several
hours previous. The method of hang
ing was a peculiar one. Nicholson
had taken q piece of barbed wire from
a nearby fence and had hammered
down the barbs to prevent laceration
of the throat and to allow a perfect
moose. The wire was then attached to
the limb of small tree, and Nicholson
stepped from a slight elevation into
eternity. The body hung with the
toes just touching the ground. The
place chosen was several rods from
the electric line aud considerably far
ther from Sixth street. 1t is in a
grove and surrounding the tree is a
quantity of smaller evergreen trees.
AS before stated the body was in plain
view of the electric cars but it was
not conspicuous as it hung in shsd-
ed place against the dark foliage on
the hillside.
The case is peculiarly sad one as
the suicide leaves wife and three
small children, one of them a baby
one week old. Mrs Nicholson is sick
in bed Nicholson was thirty-three
years of age. He was a hand polisher
by trade, and was last employed by A.
Anderson and Son but has been out of
work for several months. He has
been in low spirits for some time, and
was led to commit the act through an
attack of acute melancnolia. He was
last seen on Thursday evening walking
up Sixth street. The family lives on
Cliff street and is in very destitute
circumstances.

NORTHFIELD ACCIDENT.

Mortified, May 22.-The railroad
commissioners, Fuller c. Smith of
st. Adams, Henry S. Bingham of Ben
nington and Horace W. Bailey of
Newbury, held hearing at the North
field House on Thursday in the matter
of the wreck south of this place on the
morning of April 3. Attorney Chester
w. Writer'S of the Central Vermont rail
way was present,
James Lynch, engineer of the
wrecked train was the first witness.
He said that he had been an engineer
on the Central for a number of years
and never saw anything about the
ledge where the landslide occurred,
to make him think it unsafe. He gave
in detail the facts of the wreck as they
appeared to him and explained how
he happened to be on the train in
question, which was not his regular
run. He stated he had never before
met with an accident and that the
train was not running fast.
Conductor John O. Sweeney, who
was in charge of the train, was also
examined and said he thought the
train was running not more than 30
miles per hour. He thought high
speed would have resulted in worse
wreck, but was not prepared to state
positively. Engineer Lynch was re-
called and gave his opinion that 80
miles per hour would have smashed
things seriously although "A train NOV
ing at high rate of speed sometimes
cleared distractions with less damage
than less speed. W. E. Weston, the
fiagman, N. A. Hance, the brakeman.
l. N. Sumner the baggageman, also
answered questions as did also Bert
Buell., roadmaster of this division.
John McGrath section foreman, and
j. S. O'Connell, the expressman. The
testimony of the roadmaster ana sec
ton foreman was indicative of the
care and precaution taken TO avoid
just such accidents as this one. The
commissioners visited the scene of the
wreck and looked it over.

Instant Relief and Speedy
Cure Afforded by
CutiCura Soap, Ointment and Pills
When All Elise Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, Sl.OO.

The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled
head; the facial Disagreement, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf-
fering of infants and the anxiety of
worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet-
ter and salt rheum, all demand rem
edy of almost superhuman virtues to
successfully cope with them. That
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are
such stands proven beyond all doubt.
No statement is made regarding them
that is not justified by the strongest
evidence. The purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy, have made them the standard
skin cures and humour remedies of the
civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura ONT
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, in the severer forms, take
Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. A single set is often
sufficient to cure the most torturing,
disflguring and humiliating skin, scalp
and blood humours, with loss of hair,
when all else fails.

Dear Sir: You can put 800 in your

Devoe Lead and Zinc is all paint
1t takes fewer gallons to paint house
than with mixed paints. 1t wears
longer than lead and oil-mixed
paints, too. The State chemists of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, New York and Penn
sylvania have analysed it and say it is
pure.
If you can prove that any Of these
things aren't SO, we've a hundred
dollars waiting for you.
If these things are true, what paint
will you use next time you paint your
house? What will you say to the peo-
Pile that ask you?-for doctors get
asked queer questions.
If you know of an honest young
painter who isn't getting the grip on
life that he ought to have, give him
this hint; Devoe lead and zinc

OLD DOCUMENT

Jesse Harvey, who is at work in
the vault III the State house. arrang-
ing in form the various documents
filed there, on Thursday discovered an
interesting paper on which is recorded
the roll of the Montpelier company of
volunteers, dated September 10th, 1914,
at Burlington, Vt. The list contains
the names of 1870 soldiers, the officers
of the company being Tim Hubbard,
captain; Isaac Putnam, lst lieutenant ;
Joseph Howes, and lieutenant; Stephen
Foster, ensign.
The paper is not made out with any
attention to order and a letter on the
back, dated at Montpelier, 1850, signed
and taken oath to by Joseph Howes
and Stephen Foster before Justice of
Peace Nath. @. King, explains that
the list is the original copy which
was made out in great haste early
Saturday morning, September 10th,
by Farley Davis, then orderly serg-
cant and afterward chosen colonel.
The letter revised the list by naming
those at that time (1S50) who had
died in Montpelier, numbering twenty,
and thirteen who had died elsewhere
The original paper is yellow with
age and shows the marks where it
had been folded for so long a time, and
also shows signs of its being made
out in haste as stated in the letter
1t is now pasted on cotton cloth and
will be carefully preserved. Though
all ON the list have now passed away
the family names are there and speak
eloquently of the hardy stock of ear
lier Vermont.
