by William Black, an old veteran,
against the members of a former board
which had charge of the affairs of the
state soldiers home at Hon Springs,
and ex-Commander Arthur Linn, has
been settled by the payment to Black
Of a satisfactory sum-. Black in his
suit asked that he be awarded dam

Black, while an inmate of the sol

gregational church at Hot Springs
wrote a letter of advice to a woman
member of the same church about
whom gossip was busy. She laid the
communication before the pastor, who
forthwith waxed indignant and con
veyed the letter to Commandant Linn.
Black was dishonorably discharged
from the home. The deposed veteran
appealed to the soldiers home board

DIVORCE MlxUP.
Mrs. Dodge Is Mrs. Morse, Says Judge
TruaN.

Mrs. Dodge Is Mrs. Morse, Says Judge
Truax.
NEW YORK, April 5.-Mrs. Glenn
ence o. Dodge is Mrs Charles w.
Morse again. This is the result of a
decision handed down by Justice Tru-
ak in the supreme court.
Charles W. Morse, the ice mngnate,
had applied for an annulment of the
decree setting aside his marriage to
Mrs. Dodge. This annulment the court
grants, Justice TruaX saying:
"The evidence shows very clearly
that the defendant, Charles F. Dodge,
authorized Mortimer A. Ruger TO ap-
pear for him in this action. Motion
to set aside the order vacating and
setting aside the judgment herein is
granted"
Mrs. Dodge was divorced from her
then husband on June 81, 1903, and on
June 10, 1901, she married G. w.
Morse. Last fall Dodge came forward
with the plea that his wife's divorce
had never been legal because he had
not been served with the papers in
her suit On this basis Mrs. Dodges
marriage to Morse was annulled, and
it was this decree Of annulment which
Justice TruaX now sets aside.

Among the White Creek items sent
to this Office this week we note that
one family and a single man are this
week coming to Bennington to live.
Within week, too, one family has
moved here from Hoosick Falls,
another from New Hampshire and a
third from near Boston. These straws
indicate that Bennington is growing a
little. On the whole we are inclined to
think that the prospects of the town
this spring are better than for several
years past.

RIOTING IN
CUBAN CAPITOL.
Election Frauds Cause of Wild
Disorder among Legislators
at Havana.

HAVANA, April 5.--The scene in the
house of representatives was one of
wild disorder. AS a matter Of fact
there was no formal opening of the
house owing to the inability to muster
quorum, for the reason that every
Nationalist member refused to enter
the chamber, the Nationalists fearing
that if the question of contested seats
arose they would be outvoted by the
coalition lately arranged between the
Republicans and the Moderate Liber-
ais. The Nationalists, however, came
into the building accompanied by sew
eral hundred local followers, who
crowded into the audience part of the
chamber and into the halls and the
streets adjoining, shouting "vivas"
for the Nationalist party. The Repub-
leans and Moderate Liberals for the
most part remained in their seats.
During the confusion the speaker Of
the house, who is a Nationalist, not be-
ing present, the vice speaker called
upon the sergeant at arms and the en-
ployees of the house to preserve or
der, but the crowd was too great to
handle. LiOnaz Castillo, a prominent
Nationalist, who was one of those
elected, mounted the reporters table
and, addressing the crowd, assured it
that justice would be done and that
the representatives who had been
frauduIently declared elected would
never be permitted to take their seats.
AS the disorder continued Represent
alive BoSa, himself Nationalist, ad-
dressed the people TO the effect that
such demonstration in the house was
not only unlawful, but outrageous and
he counseled them that no redress of
grievances could be had by such means.
The people thereupon began to with
draw quietly just as a squad of police
entered the building.
In the crowd were many negroes, but
the more intelligent of the race in Ha-
vana were not represented.
Owing to the fact that there was no
session President Palma's message to
congress was not read In the house.
President Palmas message, which
was read in the senate, contained 49,
600 words and was chiefly a review Of
existing conditions. 1t made few def
mite recommendation and contained
no direct reference to the frauds al
legged to surround the election returns.
The state of tranquility existing in
the island, the message pointed out,
was extremely satisfactory despite the
conglomeration of various nationali-
ties, and it said that the Cubans were
acquiring more correct ideas as to
their duties as an independent people
Of their responsibilities before the
eyes of the civilized world.
President Palma commended the eff.
ficacy and prestige Of the rural guards
and recommended that that force, now
numbering 1900, be increased by 1000,
and he added that the reorganization
of the artillery was being carried out.

EAST ISLAND BATTLE.
Oyster bay Deputy sherins Meet De-
feat.


feat.
GLEN COVE, n. Y, April 6.-Flushed
with victory and undismayed because
Of the arrival of recent achievements
in the camp Of the enemy, the deputy
sheriffs of Westchester county who
have come over to hold East island for
Mr.. Leonard Jacob Of New York
against the attacks made on it by dep
uty sheriffs representing the interests
Of Oyster Bay, are once more in posses
sion of the disputed strip after having
outwitted their opposing forces by a
clever piece of strategy.
For just a year the East island war
has been going on, and it all resulted
from the claim made by Mr.. Jacob to
strip of sandy beach along the sound
which he claims he bought from its
original owners, but which the village
Of Oyster Bay claims is land washed
up out of the sound and the property
of that village. Driven out last year
when the war first began, Mr.. Jacobs
men stole a march on their none too
force on Thursday, taking possession
of the cottage which stands on the mar
row strip.
They were not allowed to remain
there undisturbed, however, and were
eventually driven out by large num-
Der OF. townspeople who came to the
aid of the Oyster Bay deputy sheriff
under Captain Pat McCahill.
Their victory was short lived, how
ever and now the opposing forces are
again in possession. 1t came about In
this way When Captain McCahill's
forces were not on the lookout the
sturdy band which represents Mr.. ia
cob's interest took down their tent,
which had stood on neutral ground,
and, passing the barrier of fences
erected by the townspeople, sstab-
lished themselves once more on the
disputed property within a stones
throw Of the cabin occupied by the
Oyster Bay forces.

TAMPA, Fla, April ga fire swept
West Tampa yesterday afternoon and
before 1t was practically under control
had caused loss which will exceed
100000 The only death loss so far as
known is that of Cuban baby, which
was burned in one of the cigar facto-
ries. A panic was created in the forty
factories located in the town when the
fire began to spread and hundreds of
men, women and children fed from the
factories.
The factories of Santa Ella Sc Co. and
Sam Caro-, & Co, both of Chicago, and
J. NJ. Martinez and T. Sanchez of Tam
pa were the heaviest losers.
The Santa Ella company lost $685.
600 worth of tobacco besides a large
number of fine cigars.
Fifteen blocks of business houses
and nearly 200 tenements were de-
stroyed.
West Tampa has only a small water
plant and as consequence the water
supply gave out. The Tampa fire de-
partment responded to the call for help
and rendered all possible assistance.
Hundreds of families of cigarmakerS

MABEL PAGES DEATH.
Police Obtain n Cle~ to Mysterious
Killing at Weston.

WESTON, Mass, April 5.-The au-
thorities investigating the murder Of
Miss Mabel Page at her fathers home
here last Thursday have been furnish
ed with a new clew by neighbor Of
the Pages
Miss Huntington, who lives about a
mile from the Page house, informed
Harold Page, brother of the dead wo-
man, and also the police that she had
recalled having seen a strange man
about 2:80 o'clock Thursday afternoon
coming along South avenue from the
direction of the Page premises, Gp-
parently much excited He was hur-
rying, Miss Huntington says, and per-
spring freely. He turned the corner
into Wellesley avenue and disappeared
in that direction. The police promptly
began work on this clew, Miss Hunt
ington having furnished them with a
description OF the man
The man attracted attention particu-
larry because he seemed to be so warm
on cold day. 1t also was unusual to
NN' ptlNOu 81 wen NltSStu Us Nilis
man was so far from the trolley lines.
The police also are weighing carefully,
they say, the information that a for
mer Boston man was at one time en-
gagged TO marry Miss Page and that the
engagement was broken on the eve of
the wedding day. The officers say that
they have decided TO find this man. who
is said to have left Boston immediate
ly after his alleged dismissal by Miss
Page
The maniac theory is found to have
little ground for confirmation. The
man who escaped from a Taunton asy-
lum is no longer implicated. as he is
known to have worked steadily on
farm in Somerset since he left the in
stitutiOn.

A Great Object Lesson.

AS a conqueror of obstacles the rail-
way is a great object lesson. says Four
Track News. The youth of the country
should learn from the railway the les
son of enterprise and pluck. If. in its
prescribed course, a railway encounters
a deep ravine it bridges it, 1t spans
seemingly impossible barriers with a
trestle or a bridge and goes on its way
If it finds mountain in its path it does
not say: 81 can never get over thisi"
1t bores tunnel through it and comes
out or the other side If it finds cases
where trestles and tunnels do not serve
its purpose it executes loop. or inaugu-
rates a cog road, by which it climbs
the heights as if to defy every obstacle.
If, in our everyday course, we surmount
oil obstacles with as great determine
ton as the railroad leaps across can
yons, or bores through mountains. the
word success would be more in evidence.
and the word failure. that is now so over
worked, would have a much needed rest.
