Four Towns Benefited by Will.

The towns of Shelburne, Leyden,
Gill and Colrain will come into posses
sion of considerable money by the re-
cent death of Mrs. Quintus Allen. Mrs.
Allen waived the provisions of her
husbands will, getting in addition to
rights in real estate, $40, 600 in her own
right and the income of much more.
BY her death a trust fund created by
MI. Allen is increased from Sl7,S40 to
S35, 1876. Shelburne has $500 each year
before the other towns come in for
their share. After that the income is
divided between Shelburne, Colrain,
Leyden and Gill for the use of the dis
trict schools.

The Bernardston Home Of Two Bachelor
Brothers Destroyed in their Absence.

The house at the north part of Ber-

Clark, was burned to the ground Mon
day. The Clarks were choppers, early
%risers, preparing their W breakfast,
doing their homework, then departing
for the woods. Little is known of the
origin of the fire for when discovered
it was too far advanced to save the
house or any of its contents except n
bed. Their home, furniture, clothes
and provisions were all destroyed dur
ing their absence. Probably no insur-

DON'T PAY
HIGH PRICES =.
High Prices is the penalty of
credit. Low Prices the reward of
cash. This is the lever we pry over.
Cash Down
Quick Sales
Small Profits

That pay best. This has been our motto ever
since we came to Brattleboro over twelve years
ago, and we are sure that it pays the dealer and
the customer to pay as you go. Buy for cash
and your debts are paid, buy on time and your
debts are made. Easter jewelry we are show
ing. A nice line of these goods and at bargain
day prices. observe our north window for
these goods; also novelties in china and glass
ware. Easter chickens, salts and peppers in
shape of chickens are all the go. Just now
only 10 cents. Bargains in dinner sets and toll
ct sets. People are liable to overlook our
prices because they are so low. but come in and
we will tell you all about them. =

London ChurehRoers.

Assuming that the people at church
IN the morning and evening are not the
same, one person in every four and a
half goes to church every Sunday in
London. The London News has ascer-
tanned this after a canvass Of six
months. 1t has discovered that the
Church Of England leads in total at
tendance, that the nonconformists are
second and the Roman Catholics third.
The nonconformists lead in the attend
ance Of men with 10000 In church ev-
cry Sunday against $4,000 men in the
Church Of England churches. There is
not seating accommodation in the
churches for a quarter Of the popula-
ton. London and many If not all large
American cities differ in this respect
from many small villages, where the
churches are 20 numerous that they
eould readily hold every man, woman
and child IN the place.

MEANING OF THE BILL.

Practical gOIge That Was Played on
an Unsuspecting Reporter.
General Batcheller, judge of the
court of appeals of the international
tribunal ,Of Egypt, was a member of
the assembly of New York state in
1873 He was a great favOrite there
with the newspaper men, as he was al
ways brimful of good newsy incidents
concerning dofngs of the day that were
not of the "dry as dust" order. When
there WAS a lull of business on the
dOOr he was sure to be found chatting
with the "bOys" in the correspondents
corner in the then old fashioned capi-
toll A good story of that period in
which the colonel figures is told by
member of the house of that year.
A reporter in the assembly for one Of
the Albany papers used to make up ev-
cry day list for public On in his pa
per of all bills INTRODUCED, devOting to
each a short paragraph mentioning the
name OF the introducer of the measure
and giving a few lines concerning its
objects. One dGy the reporter left his
desk to get pOints from members, leav-
ing a pile of copy" on it. The last
sheet on the top simply had the name
of the man who introduced the bill, its
title and some words explaining its
purpose.
General Batcheller in sauntering
about espied the reporters vacant seat
and quietly occupied it. Taking up
pencil, he sportively added the follow
ing to the writing he saw before him:
1.-TWO sections OF this bill are as clear
as mud. That may be because they re-
fer to crossroads. The bill provides,
among other long felt wants. for the
establishment of lake in the northern
part of the county where assemblymen
will be able to sail catboats during the
dog days at the expense of the state"
OF course the generals intention was
to give the reporter a violent shock
when he got back to his desk and ran
his eye over the sheet. Somehow the
reporter in his hurry to add new
"stuff' to his copy turned to the next |
sheet and continued his bills intro
duced" without reading the pad Cen
eral Bntcheller had doctored. and the |
general. becoming busy on the floor. |
forgot all about his novel pencil work. |
There was big surprise for the as
sembly when many copies Of that paper |
were published before the Batcheller
addendum was discovered. There was
a great laugh over the incident and
things were finally explained to every
body's satisfaction.-New York Times.
Milford chronicle., 1903-10-02

Representative Dick said that he
had not received the challenge be-
fore leaving Ohio and that he could
not discuss it until he had done so,
but Senator Foraker said frankly
that, were he in Senator Hanna's
place he would decline it, and it
may bepretty confidently predicted
that will be Mr.. Hanna's course.
There have been no startling de-
velopmeuts in the Post Office in
vestigation during the past week,
although some important indict-
ments are expected in the near
future one of them to involve State
Senator Green again for completely
with Beavers in inducing the
government to purchase stamp can
ceiling machines from the Doremus
Cancelling Machine Company, of
which Green is an officer. Green
kas been making violent resistance

place him under bail to appear i'll

possible that the government will
have to resort TO the same, or sim

States Commissioner, Hall, who is
an aPp0intee of Judge Ray, rs in
clined to release Green unless the

SAFE ROBBERS CAUGHT.
Four Men Captured In Monroe After
Battle With RevOlvers.

Charlotte, n. c., February -Four
men who are believed to have blown
open safes in this section Of the state
with nitro-glycerine during the past
few days, were captured today near
Monroe and are now in Jail there.
Two were caught after a day light
battle with revolvers on the streets of
the town and the other two were cap
tured in the afternoon. Shots were
exchanged at both encounters, but no.
body was hurt. The captured men
were heavily armed and a turn out
of their pockets resulted in the re-
covery of 500 in money. In the chase
for the two men who were cap
tured in the afternoon ~bloodhounds
were used. One of the men shot one
Of the dogs.
In consequence Of the operations of
the safe crackers in this section some
of the Charlotte banks have employed
night Watchmen. 1t is believed that
the men captured at Monroe are the
ones who blew open the safe at the
Mocksville bank and also one safe in
Charlotte and two in Matthews, a town
near Monroe.
