1874. her maiden name being Agnes Eliza
beth Winona Leclercq. She was the daugll-

July IL, 1854. She is of the eighth genera

He was a man of note, who built the first
town house in Boston on the site of the

Asst. Secretary Darling Trying His
Hand.

Bremerton. Washington, IS a recently
Incorporated city of 1900 Inhabitants. on
Puget Sound, which owes its existence to
the recent establishment of n United
States navy yard there. The navy depart
ment having heard that sailors from the
ships which had been sent to the yard for
repairs were mulcted of their wages by
saloonkeepers. denkeepers, gamblers and
disreputable women in Bremerton, and
Assistant Secretary Darling, TO whom the
matter was referred for investigation,
commandant of the yard, for a report as
to the truth of these stories.
Tho response of Admiral Stirling and
the accompanying statements Of surbord-
mate officers bore out the reports and Mr.
Darling made the following order:
"The department deems it inadvisable
to subject American sailors to the immoral
influences described within, and until the
conditions surrounding the Bremerton
yard are corrected by the civil authorities
no further ships will he ordered to that
yard
One of tho reports made by Lieutenant
Hall of the Marine Corps says that Brem-
crton has sixteen saloons, twelve of them
within fifty yards of the navy yard gate.
Five of them are gambling joints and i'll
the rest of them gambling is practsed.
Three of the saloons have houses of i'll
fare attached Moreover whenever
a ship gets in disrcputable women flock
to Brcmerton from Seattle, which also
furnishes men sharks from the worst dis
trlct Of that city.
To stop repair work at the yard will hurt
Seattle as we'll as Brcmerton, and it is
expected that the people of the first
named city will take a hand in bringing
about the moral regeneration of its little
neighbor.

Not Aliens Cave.

Ethan Aliens Country" In this he de-
scribes summer drive from Brandon
over the mountain to Rochester. Vt,
which he says is called the most beau
tiful drive in New England" Mr.. Ralph
never means to let any story suffer in the
telling, and if the facts are not sufficient

novel after sixty years of issue in many
editions may have told Mr.. Ralph. we

known as "Warners CaVc'-taking its
name probably from Seth Warner, who

grading and demoraizing institution of
this character and put 1t In a position
where violations of the restrictive meas
ures can be enforced only by having
spoilers" stationed in the saloons.
Another question before the people of
Vermont is whether they want to make
1t possible even in towns that vote against
license for only five percent of the legal
voters and y majority of the practicing
physicians force the granting of druggists
licenses. when many people place the liq.
uor selling drug store as only second to
the public bar as an agency of intemper-
ance.
And yet we are Informed that the pro-
posed law will make it possible for the
people of every town TO say whether in
toxicating liquor shall be sold within its
borders.
Vermont is now face to face with the
lcgalzed public bar and tho immune drug
store whose back room supply of intoxi-
eating liquors of every description will
be free from seizure, or molestation, for
it will have a "ten-dollar high license"

tic career In the Civil War she was a
picturesque figure in the social life of
Washington and of the army. her unfailng
cheerfulness, warm sympathy and woman-
ly ministries in the hospitals cndearing her

to her popularity and influence that the
military talents of her foreign born hus-
band received the official recognition and
reward which they merited,
During the Franco Prussian war both be-

husband she was active in organizing hos

1899 she visited America for the purpose of

member of the New York Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution. In
1900 she was again in this country in order
to raise funds to equip an ambulance corps
for the relief Of the wounded in the South
African war.

Senator Hoar's Trust Remedy.

The bill prepared by Senator Hoar of
massachusetts for the purpose of provd-
ing a remedy for trusts, MAJ not be re-
garded as an administration measure, yet
it unquestonably embodies the principles
emphasized as important in this connec-
ton by President Roosevelt and Attor-
ney-General Knox. The first of these is
publicity, and various provisions are
framed to accomplish this. 1t is provided
that corporations must file sworn state
ment regarding the amount of their capt.
tai stock and dividends, and it is further
provided that all books and records shall
be subject to the inspection of the attor.
ney- general.
Another important principle IS fedora
supervision and this is brought about by
requiring trusts to have a federal fran
chise. 1T is provided that the federal gov
ernment shall have the right to repeal the
franchise or privilege to do interstate
business whenever Il trust deliberately
violates the antitrust law twice, having
once been officially warned to desist This
prohibition is to be enforced by United
States court Injunction If such stoppa re
of business will cause public loss or in
convenience, the encouragement or
court may issue modified decree.
Another effective provision is that
every person or corporation who con-
spires to drive a rival out of business bv
selling its product at less than fair mar
ket value or less than its regular price
shall be liable to a fine of $4,000 or TO a
years Imprisonment. or both.
To the uninitiated some of these pro-
visions would appear to bc Of a nature
that would render their enforcement ex.
tremely difficult, If not absolutely limos
sible. For example, it might bother a
United States court to say at what price
the American Refining company should
sell sugar, and what the regular price Of
sugar is. One can look in different drec-
tons and see other commodities whose
Irregular price" is equally uncertain.
However, it is generally agreed that the
trust legislation is a necessity, and tho
measure may be modified and made fully
practical during its consideration in both

Not a Good License Law.

We generally like to agree with tho
Brattleboro Phoenix: but find ourselves
unable TO concur with it's opinion that the
proposed liquor law which is to be voted
on next month, ION the whole, ns n IL
censo law, is a good one" AS a license
law ii has some very bad features. The
giving the appointment of the license CON-
missioncrs to the selcctmon and boards
of aldermen is ono OF these. The exper-
iencc of other States should have shown
the trainers of the act that this is as GER
tain to make local politics rotten in all
wet towns, as the law goes into effect.
The clause allowing a small percentage
one in twenty. of the voters, and major
ity Of the doctors-many towns having
but a single doctor who would be the
majority, and could do Land Office bust
ness In signing prescriptions--to force the
traffic, through druggist licenses, upon
towns which have voted no license, is
simply iniquitous.
The penalty OF three hundred dollars
years Imprisonment. for selling without
n license, if inserted in the act by an OBJ
ponent of the liquor traffic was a mis-
take: If by friend of the traffic was a
shrewd scheme to defeat enforcement of
tho law Many who have watched the
operation of the existing law, know that
the smaller penalties prescribed in the
earlier stages of its existence were much
moro easily enforced, and. often reneated
as effective, as the higher penalties OF
later periods. If the penalty for viola
tion of the law had been death for a first
offence, no violator of the law would
ever have been convicted. It is not going
to be an easy matter to ind jurics who
will subject an offender against the license
law to the extreme minimum and more
severe maximum penalties prescrib. d
therein. These three features are enough
to condemn the law. as u license law; and
there are other features only less OBJ
sectionable, 1t is a bad law, which, in
practice, If adopted. will mean IA nearer
approach TO free rum than the masses of
cur people have ever dreamed Of per-
hitting.

BUTTER TUB TRUST
Combine Formed in This City
Tuesday.
Practically All the Manufacturers OF
Spruce Tubs In the Country 1nclud-
ed-Their Output over 2,OOO,-
900 Tubs Every Year.

A combine of practically all Of the spruce
butter tub manufacturers in the United
States was formed Tuesday at the Van
Ness house In this city. The name of the
organization is the Spruce Butter Tub
Manufa cturers association and it IL an
outgroWth of an association formed in
1%6, but which has never assumed such
proportions as the present organization
and has not controlled the market The
new association includes about - manu-
facturers and in that number is every
roncorn that ships tubs by the carload
These firms are mostly located in YER
mont and in New York although there are
few in other States. Practically all Of
the spruce butter tubs made in the Uni
ted states are manufactured in these two
States. The originators Of the scheme
We're reticcnt Tuesday, saying that they
did not wish any notoriety attached to the
organization. The officers elected were:
President-S l.. Clark of Parishville,
N. Y.
Secretary--A. A. Pike of Stowe.
Treasurer-Charles Hall of Montgomery.
The present combine has been under
consideration for several months and last
fall many of the manufacturers met in
tSis city and made an attempt to form
an organization but at that time consid-
cradle opposition was developed and it
was thought inadvisable to organize any
thing in the shape Of a trust.
Since that time the different man
ufacturers have conferred about
the matter and the result was the
organization effected Tuesday. The con-
Germs in the new combine manufacture
approximatelv 2245Os tubs per year and
employ several thousand mon. The man
ufacturers of spruce boxes are not in the
organization.
The object of the combine is to main
tain prices and 10 promote the interests
Of the manufacturers. The secretary Of
the organization stated Tuesday that
prices had not been advanced but an
