SUICIDE At MARSHFIELD.

Miss Lou Northrop, daughter of
Clark Northrop of Marshfield, com.
mitted suicide at the home of her
father two miles below the village
on Monday evening by taking lauda-
mum. She had made previous at
tempt to drown herself in the river
in the afternoon of the same day but
was prevented. Miss Northrop had
been employed in hotel in Cabot
and had been at home but few days.
She had for some time been subject
to severe attacks of illness. 1t is
thought that this may have been the
cause of her rash deed. She leaves
besides father, two brothers, her
mother having died sometime ago.
Miss Northrop was student at Mont
pelier Seminary year ago, but did
not return for the year just closed.

MISS BISHOP ATENG ED.

On page six of this issue will be
found the awful details of the MUIR
der Of Miss Helen S. Bishop, daugh
ter of a former principal of Mont
pelier Seminary, and since that story
was put in type the news Of how ven-
gence was melted out to her murderer
has come. On Monday evening a
mob of about 1000 men and boys led
by Virginian, whose name is I'M
known, broke into the workhouse
where White was confined and after
battle with tie guards, in which
three men and boy were wounded,
the negro was taken to the spot where
his crime was committed and burned
at the stake. The stake had been
planted by an advance guard and when
the mob reached the spot White was
given chance to speak and confessed
to the murder. He was then chained
to the post and the oil soaked under
brush surrounding him was ignited
White, suffering intense agony, tainted
and his body hung limp. Shots were
fired into his body and the victim
was soon dead. Satisfied with their
work the avengers withdrew. The
failure of county court to give the
negro speedy trial was in great
measure responsible for the crime,
The trial had been set for Septem ber.
On Sunday Rev. Robert A. Elwood,
pastor of Olivet Presbyterian church,
preached on Should the murderer Of
Miss Bishop be lynched, "displaying in
the pulpit leaves splashed with Miss
Bishops blood. His plea was for a
speedy trial of the murderer, and he
said if in case he should not be given
capital punishment, the citizens oil
the State should then arise in theil
minght and execute the criminal
Dr. Bishop, as might be anticipated
by those who know him, pleaded
against such rash measures. He issued
letter on Sunday in which he urged
speedy justice. but begged that the
majesty of the law might be upheld
and closed by saying, Let us not try
to atone for one crime, no matter how
hellish, by committing another.

This was followed by the address
of the valedictorian, Miss Anna Nor

poem entitled FAREWELL and it was
charmingly rendered. The diplomas
and certificates were then presented
by Father O'Sullivan, the names
being announced by Charles Theriault.
In his address to the graduting class
Father O'Sullivan gave the young
people some excellent advice. He
first congratulated the pupils, teach
ers and parenst ON the success of the
evenings entertainment. To the
graduates he offered his sincere con-
gratulations and wished them all sue
choose for the future. He said
their past lives had been theoretical,
but now began life of experience
and battle, the spoils of which are
secured only by the brave and perse-
vering. He urged them to enter life
with certain amount of humility
and not to think that they were
wiser than their parents. for al
though they might know more of
geography and history, their parents
had studied in the hard school of ex-
perience and were able to direct better
book scholars in consequence. There
fore, he said, begin with humility,
but at the same time with courage.
He then advised them to take what
came to hand and not wait for some-
thing more favorable, because an ap-
premiership must be served, Don't
think you know it all, he continued,
for you have only commenced to know
how to learn. He urged them to re-
member the lessons learned at school,
and their school days as they would
help them to achieve the greatest
thing in life, Christian happiness.
In closing he said. keep clear con-
science before God and man and you
will conquer.
The program closed with chorus
FAREWELL by the graduates. Much
of the musical work has been re.
hearsed under the direction of Mr..
Wilder AND the orchestra furnished
accompaniment for most of the sing
ing and drills. For the success of
the entertainment great credit is due
to the teachers who have worked long
and hard in drilling the pupils

HILL ARRESTED.

Rutland, June 23-Howard J. Hill,
former teller of the defunct Farmers
National Bank of Vergennes, has been
arrested on a charge of abstracting
funds from the bank. His arraign-
ment was purely formal, bail being
fixed at $50, 600 which was furnished
by Hills father. The hearing was
continued until next Wednesday after
noon at 3 O'Clock. The federal off,
Gals are very retioent about discuss
ing the case. The charges against
him are similar to those brought
against Cashier d. H. Lewis and his
clerk, j. W. Ketchum, both of whom
are now serving sentences. Since
Hill left the bank he has been living
in an extravaganza way, without any
visible means of support, that could
be carried on only by one with an ex-
ceedingly large income.

HERRING POSTPONED.

The matter of receivership for the
Brattleboro & Whitehall railroad was
not settled at Tuesdays hearing be-
fore Judge John H. Watson. That
hearing was on dumurrer to
the orators bill, the defendants
claiming that the orator had an ade
quate remedy at law After the heal
ing on this branch of the case the
hearing on the question of receiver
ship was postponed to give the parties
time to take affadavits. 1t is ex-
pected that the decision upon the de-
murrer will be heard within a few
days at the longest.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIG0R AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness of a nation depends
much upon the physical condition OF its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the TACT
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine's

the grave; she says:-

4 FAMOUS LION tanner. -

Major James B. Pond, who died in
Jersey City on Sunday, was a captain
of industry in his line, and his line
was to learn Just what oratorical or
literary star was on the top wave OF
popularity and exploit him before the
public. In his vocation he gained
reputation as broad as the country, and
became known as the greatest lion
tanner of the age. Maj. Ponds career
was varied one. In early life he fol-
lowed the not altogether propitious
occupations Of farmers boy and
printers devil. From the latter he
drifted into journalism and in 1860
became editor of the Weekly Journal
of Markesan, Wisconsin. Leaving
this he Joined cavalry regiment
from that State and rose from the
rank of second lieutenant to that OF
major. He was one of the seventeen
survivors of the guerrilla Quantrell S
massacre of 11S Federal soldiers at
Baxter Springs, Kansas, in October
1868.
After the war he went into the furni-
ture business, ending up at Salt Lake
City in 1874, where, as he afterwards
related, he sold bedsteads to Brigham
Young. The event which shaped his
destiny, however, occurred when Brig
hams nineteenth wife renowned
Mormanism. Pond saw the opportu-
nifty and became her manager on
lecture tour. The scheme succeeded
and since that time he had been con
tinually on the search for someone to
manage. - He had peculiar apti
tude for the business and among the
famous men whom he has man
aged are Wendell Phillips, William
Lloyd Garrison, Robert G. Ingersoll,
Henry Ward Beecher, Bill Nye, Max
O'Rell, Ian McLaren and scores of
others. Ponds stars mighC drop
from sight or pale into insignificance
so far as the public was concerned but
the willy manager would always APP
pear with some new favorite. He
has visited Vermont and every other
State in the union many times and
consequently was known in almost
every town sufficiently large and en-
terprising enough to guarantee the
amount of money requisite to see and
hear one of Ponds lions. The versa
tile major turned his hand to author

Beeoher'' sold we'll in their day. The
lyceum is not what it was in the days
when Major Pond began his career
but every now and then star appears
that requires only the genius and tact
of good manager to make an ap-
pearance on the platform source OF
profit to both, and doubtless someone
will arise to fill the lion tamer's'
place.

that when General Young goes on the

The course of the United States in
the matter OF recognizing the new
government in Servia is said to be
determined. Until the new Servian
monarchy has been firmly and for
mally established the United States
government will adopt no measure
toward entering into diplomatic rela-
tions with it. John B. jackson, who
was appointed United States minister
to Greece, Roumania and Servia, is
not in Belgrade, but the credentials
which he bears are null and void, as
they accredited him to the late King
Alexander. To secure recognition OF
the existence OF diplomatic relations
between the two governments it will
be necessary for him to present new
letters of oredence, addressed person
ally to King Peter Karageorgevitch.
While no decision has been made as to
the course to be pursued when King
Peter ascends the throne, it is not
likely that President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay will go to the extreme
Of declining to enter into diplomatic
relations with the new dynasty.

In Madeira the common public con-
yeyance, or cab" is a basketlike af-
fair on wooden runners, furnished
with a canopy or curtains, and drawn
by oxen that make a record Of mile
and half, or at the most two miles, an
hour. The wheeled vehicles on the
island are so rare that they are
brought out only on fete days as curl
osities. The reason for this scarcity
of wheels is that the hills are too
steep to make their use safe. and yetit
is so hot that one quickly tires in
walking The thick white dust makes
travelling on runners almost as smooth
as through snow, but for long jour
ney hammock is generally preferred.

The Great Newspaper OF the Great

In inviting attention to the merits
OF the Kansas City Star it seems prop
er to point to few facts demonstrat-
ing its very great success as a news
paper. The Star is thelargest customer
OF the Kansas City post Office. Last
year it paid Uncle Sam over $500
for postage. Though it receives daily
the full news reports of the Associat-
ed Press-the greatest newsgathering
organization in the world--it receives
ia addition such an abundance Of
special dispatches that it is the
largest patron OF both the Western

100000 pounds OF white paper a
