Horses and Horsemen.

The star OF the PAGER does not grow dim
| An eastern party offered NJ. W. Savage
of Minneapolis $4,000 for the great PAGER,
Dan Patch, 1891, but the offer was respect
fully refused. Some commented that no
other man would have the courage to re-
fuse such munifcent price for a PAGER.
Good horsemen say, however, barring ac-
cidents and death, the horse will prove a
good investment at even a higher price.
Anaconda, 2.0lf, has wintered finely,
jogging every day. Fred Noble is TO. race

Rare Collection Of Antique Furniture.

]
Mr.. II. o. French, owner and occupant
OF what was years ago well known
through this part OF Vermont as the
Chancey tavern stand, or Travellers Home,
has great desire to collect and own rare
antique furniture, crockery' bric-a- brac
and curiosities. He and his brother-in-
law, Fred ID. Burke, have spared neither
time nor expense in this collection, so
that now they have the satisfaction OF
possessing perhaps a finer assortment
than can be found anywhere in this
vicinity.
These relics have all been restored bv
master hands to their original beauty.
and now decorate the numerous rooms
and halls OF this once well-known hostel
ry. Here can be seen high posted bed
steads on which persons were born and
died generations ago; here are looking
glasses in their old-fashioned gilt frames
that once reflected faces and forms that
faded in this world but now shine on
the farther shore; here are bureaus whose
drawers held fine fabrics woven and
folded by nimble fingers that are now
stilled forever; and here are portraits and
pictures that were the pride OF many a
household; here are desks and writing
tables upon which bills and receipts
were passed even before Vermont was
settled, and here are clocks of various
descriptions, made OF wood and brass.
ann AtAA AAN passing VI tune 10 Etntr-
atoms our grandtathers knew: here are
sets and pieces Of crOckery in all their
original hand-painted beauty bright and
clean as when imported from the other
side. This must have been the piide and
pleasure Of women such as are not known
IN these days, and here are the old
fashioned brass warming pans with which
our grandmothers used to warm beds
cold winter nights in rooms where no
nres were ever lighted. Here are chairs
and sofas made OF costly wood, some of
which belonged TO high families in New
England. and here are stoves used in the
long ago, one parlor stove that has been
IN use more than a century and would be
an ornament 10 any modern house. Here
We find stove furniture, shove. tongs, etc.
hammered out by hand long before
Barnard was settled.
Some might think such a variety Of
ancient goods would be stored in an
unoceupied place, but not 50. They are
interpreted with modern furniture and /
potted plants, making every room an
attractive one, which the family take I
pleasure in showing.

Wisconsin Governor Finds Another
Reason For Freight Rate

Madison. Wis. May 9.-Governor La

revelations made in connection with
the opening of coal bids. All of the
coal dealers inserted provisions max
ing the prices subject to any increase
in freight rates. Such Il reservation
was never made before ard the gov

John Weston Declares There is Moth
ing in Beet Sugar
Profits.

Detroit, May 9.-John Western, Of
the Tropical Land company, in the
Chamber of Commerce building,
doesn't think much of beet sugar stocks
as an investment. 1T will be only
few years. says Western, before
Cuba is annexed and her sugar comes
in free. By that time she will be able
to make cane sugar for cent Il
po- ~. The result can easily be fore
seen. All our beet sugar factories will
have TO close, and their expensive ma
chinery will he sold for old junk.
"FewpeOple realize the different con-
ditions under which cane and beet SUI
gar are manufactured" continued
Western. ''In the first place, take the
land You can buy virgin soil in Cuba
for So an acre and sell the timber
for enough to pay the cost of clearing
it. The farming land used for sugar
beets in Michigan is worth $50 or $50
an acre. 1t can be used only four or
five years, and the land must then
be turned to other crops. while virgin
soil in Cuba is good for twenty-five
years."

HEAD OF THE TREAsURY's VIEW
Shaw Does Not Approve Any Startling
Financial Reforms.

Shaw Does Not Approve Any Startling
Financial Reforms.
Prior to the departure of the SEN
ators each had a conference with Sec
retary of the Treasury Shaw and re-
ceived from that official his recon-
mendations and ideas as to the sort
of bill necessary to be framed to meet
the financial needs of the country. At
these conferences Secretary Shaw ar
gued strongly against startling finan-
cial reforms beyond the innovations
proposed to be made in the Aldrich
bill. That bill, although bearing Aid
richs name, and bearing it by right,
really was the joint product of the
minds of the secretary of the treas
ury and the senator from RhOle ISL
and, and Shaw still believes that this
bill. as amended in the senate before
it was abandoned because of the fill
clustering opposition to it. is sufficient
to meet the financial needs.
Shaw and Aldrich are both set
againstanything like general revision
of the currency system Of the United
States. and the statement is made at
the treasury department that can
Vass of the situation last winter
showed that there are Il sufficient num-
Der of Republican representatives of
prominence who are bitterly opposed
10 any revision builded on a scheme
of asset banking to make it impOssi-
BILE to pass q bill on the line of the
Fowler bill, the Pugsley bill or any of
the other asset banking measures in
troduced in the house last winter.
The consequence of. the inability to
deposit customs receipts in national
banks and CT the comparatively linn
tied character of securities which may
be deposited with the treasury to Sc
cure the deposit of public money with
national banks is that more money
piles up in the vaults and sub-treas-
uries than is needed for current eX-
penses of the government. and the
channels of trade are deprived of need
ed funds. This causes money strin-
gencies at crop-moving times, when the
agricultural centers draw on the banks
for money to move the crops.
These financial stringencies often
necessitate severe sacrifices of negotia-
BILE securities and seriously interfere
with the nations security. The Aldrich
bill is intended to relieve that situa-
ton and so is the Fowler bill, which
authorized national banks to issue cur
rency with their assets as security.

APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT
Street Railway Mems Union Says It's Mails
Are Violated.

Pittsburg, May 9.-The convention
of Amalgamated Street Railway En-
ployes of America has wound up its
business. One of the most important
actions taken by the convention was
the decision TO address an open tele-
gram to the president of the United
States reciting alleged abuses of the
mails by different street car compa-
nies, and asking him to demand of tie
postmaster general that he enforce the
postal laws and correct the abuses.
Some grievances were brought up by
delegates in the manner in which the
United States mails were used in San
Francisco and New Orleans during the
time that the street car men were hav
ing trouble with their employers on
account of organizing divisions of the
union.
1t was asserted that in the former
city the mails of the street car men
were held up. that letters were opened,
in order to deter employees from join
ing the union. In New Orleans SINH
lar methods were practiced in order to
suppress the forming of unions. The
convention denounced in a strong reso-
luton this sort of use of the United
States mails and appointed commit
tee of five to convey their disapproval
of such practices to President Roose-
velt
This committee composed of Miss
Josephine Casey, of Chicago, the only
woman delegate to the convention; A.

Indiana, drew up a telegram to the

carded on Tuesday night.
No one has been reported to the po-

TROUBLE FOR CRUM
IN GETTING HIS PAY
The Presidents Negro AppOintee is
Snubbed by Treasury De-
partment.

Washington, May 9.-The numerous
troubles to which DIR. w. II. Crum. the
negro who was nominated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as collector of the port
of Charleston, 5. c.. has been subject
ed have been increased by the refusal
of the treasury department to pay
him his fees for the month of April.
In announcing this refusal the de-
partment let it be known that until
Crum's nomination is confirmed by
the senate he will not receive any paw
for his services. Should he not be
confirmed at all sby that body he will
never receive a cent.
In submitting his accounts to the
department for the month of April
DR.. Crum included the fees. The de
partment has written him that these
fees will have to be withheld. and
calls his attention to section 1761 of
the revised statutes, which is as fol-
lows:
NO money shall be paid from the
treasury as salary to any person APP
pointed during the recess of the sem
ate to fill a vacancy in any existing
office if the vacancy existed while the
senate was in session until such APP
pointment has been confirmed by the
senate"
The vacancy in the Charleston col
lectOrship began last September. 1t
was not filled until the senate met,
when the president sent to the senate
the name of DR.. Crum. The senate
failed to confirm the nomination.
When the extra session met the nom
ination was again submitted to the
senate, but failed of action by that
body.
