Gettrick, of st Adams, is in the city

ocratic state committee was rot called
together to make plans for Tic party
conventions and to outline the work
# the campaign, iltimated his belief
that Emory S. Harris, of Bennington
the state chairman, was Clement
man and thought that might explain
the delay.
Mr. McGettrick thought that Clement
was strong with the Republicans
and that it was not impossible that
he might be the Democratic candidate
for governor this year. He thought
that unless Mr. Harris took some action
soon other members of the committee
might be obliged to take some action.
Personally he said he was not in
politics this year.
Mr. McGettrick declared the nomina-
tion of w. r. Hearst, of New York,
as Democratic Presidential candidate.
The laboring element favored him and
he thought he was gaining strength
every day. He did not believe Rich,
ard Olney of Massachusetts, would be
a strong candidate.
1t is known that Bradley B. Smaller
of this city, for many years the Demo.
cratic leader in Vermont, is trying to
push the Olney candidacy and a strong

AN HISTORIC
OLD 1ANSION
Residence Of Philip B. Jennings
at the Center.

1t is expected that the Norcross Co
of Worcester will soon commence
making extensive repairs and alterat-
ions on the summer residence of Phillip
B. Jennings on Mt Anthony street. 1t
is the intention to build another story
with gambrel roof, thus making the
building three stories high.
This will also provide some desir-
able rooms in the attic. On the north
side will be an addition 45 by 20 feet.
This house is one of the oldest in
the town. 1t was built soon after the
close of the revolutionary war, is
pleasant and roomy, yet contains the
leading features of the architecture of
the colonial days.
1t was built by Col Nathaniel Brush
who participated in the Battle of Ben
nington, and for a number of years
after was a prominent citizen of the
town. He was the first Grand Treasurer
of the Grand Lodge f. & A. NJ. OF
Vermont holding the position six
years. At the time Of his death he
was buried in the old cemetery.
A few years ago when the extensive
repairs were made to the old First
church, the site Of his grave had be-
come indistinct it being located under
the present church and while some
laborers we're digging for excavation
in the cellar they accidentally shovel
ed into his grave and uncovered his
skull and other bones.

K0HLER'S FIRST SPEECH
THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESsION-
AL NOMINEE MAKES A STRONG
POINT OF RECIPROCITY.

DR.. G. II. Kohler, democratic candi-
date for congress, made the opening
address of his campaign last evening
at Germania hall, on Main street NE,
under auspices of the First Ward Dem
ocratic club. J. II. Smith, president Of
the club, presided and introduced DR..
Kohler. ~ - ..' +s..
DR.. Kohler appealed to his audience
not as democrats or republicans, but as
citizens whose interests center first in
the common welfare of the great north
west. He asserted he differed from the
position Of his opponent Of the repub-
lican party on three. points. He stood,
first, for an immediate revision of the
tariff, and a revision downward; sec
trust-made goods; third, for reciproci-
ty with Canada. He then launched
into long explanation Of reciprocity
with Canada and the beneficial effects
he believed it would have. These he
summed up by saying. ..-

Manitoba and Minnesota, our. indus

MERRY BUNCH OF BELLIES
Rose Sydell's Company Provokes Mirt1
at the Dewey. 49,

Rose Sydell's London Bellies at the
Dewey this week, have fallen in line
with several other. successful companies
and departed from the customary bur-
1esque routine. The result is that in
stead of two burlesques, two-act trav-
esty with something Of plot occupies
al the time except that allotted to the
olio. The innovation has been pleas
ing to the Dewey audiences.
The first act is on board sailing
vessel and affords many opportunities
for pretty costuming and dancing turns.
The comedy men are versatile and put
snap into the production whenever the
plot is lost. The music and lighting
effects are well above the ordinary and
many of the songs are exceptionally
we'll sung. At the close Of the act the
ship sinks with all on board and the
second act takes place under the sea.
In this act there are some gorgeous
scenic effects and the scene also serves
to introduce new atmosphere for
burlesque comedians.
The olio presents a variety Of good
specialties. Relyea, the French physi
cal culturist heads the list and is truly
a physical wonder. Aside from being
excellently developed and muscular, he
is a graceful contortionist. The
Sculptor's Dilemma gives twenty OF
the chorus girls an opportunity to pose
as artists models, and is a well exc
| cuted speciality. The olio closes with the
Biiou trio Of clever singers and enter
On the whole the show is full Of sna1
and entertaining features Of wide range
| It will be at the Dewey for the re
mainder of the week.

running in violation Of law.
At least Mayor J. c. Haynes, at a

house Saturday afternoon, to consider
the best way to protect young girls and
to keep them off the streets, admitted
that such places are in existence. While
he was questioned closely by some of
the women present, he gave no reason
why such places should be allowed to
exist.
"There are just such winerooms in
the city now as there have been under
previous administrations, said the
mayor. "NIr. Jones, who was my i'm
mediate predecessor in office, said that
there were no winerooms under his adj
ministration. There were, however,
just such places then as now tell you
are winerooms.

FAITH SHATTERED
At JOURNEYS END.
"a. D. PALMER AT LAST CONVINCED
OF HIS WIFE's DUPLIcITY.
Travelled to Minneapolis from Portland
Believing, that Woman Who Fell to
Death with scammon Had Not Be-
trayed His Faith Takes Body to
Iowa for Burial.

Still believing, despite press reports
to the contrary, that his Wife had not
been unfaithful to him, A. D. Palmer
of Portland, Ore, arrived last night to
claim the body Of the woman who fell
to her death from the Germania Life
building, in st. Paul, last Friday.
When he visited the rooms at Sixth
avenue N and Lyndale, where his wife
had lived as the wife Of B. M. Scam
mon, he was convinced of the fearful
truth. He simply took the things that
were his wife s, wrapped them carefully
and left word that he would send for
them. He refused oSdiscuss the affair,
saying that he was heartbroken.
He then went to st. Paul, where he
claimed the body of his wife and ac-
companied it to it's final resting place at
her old home in Clear Lake, Iowa.
Friends of Mr.. Palmer say he was
in Minneapolis but three weeks ago to
see his wife, and during his few DAYS )
stay they were at a hotel. He suspected
nothing, and, when he left, told her that
he would soon have a good home for
her in the west.
The body Of Scammon is still at the
st. Paul morgue, awaiting burial. Some
Of the man $ relatives have been found,
but they have not yet claimed the re-
mains. Unless they do so today the in
terment will be in the potter g field.
