In Rutland Yesterday, the officers
who have been inspecting the differ
ent companies of the National Guard
were interviewed by a Rutland Herald
reporter. What they said about the
Bennington company is as follows.
Maj. Dyer said that the four com
panies in his battalion were in excel
lent condition. In Bennington it was
found that there was hardly enough
interest taken by the heads OF the or
ganization to make it success among
the men.
Gen Gilmore stated that It made
about the poorest showing of any thus
far, He thought this was due to the
rainy weather, which kept the men
from turning out in large numbers.
There were about 81 men. Gen Gill
more spoke highly of the officers and
the work they were doing.

TO KILL CROWS.
Sentiment Growing in Vermont Toward Dss-
troyins the Crows.

troyiHs the Crows.
A strong sentiment appears to be
growing in Vermont for the destruct-
ion of crows, which according to the
testimony of many sharp observers,
annually destroy thousands of game
and song birds, as well as annoying
the farmers by taking eggs and young
chickens from the farm yard and by
pulling up young corn. Some have
suggested that bounty be offered for
the killing of these marauders.
1t is asserted that these robbers
watch every opportunity to destroy
birds nests and that it is no uncom-
mon sight to see them in orchards riff
ling nests and eating birds too young
to fly. 1t is believed by many that the
crows destroy more birds than the
hunter and that their depredations are
greater than that,of the hawks.

American, to-day there is evidenced
earnest attention in study of his case
and desire to do for him what is in
cumbent for guardian in charge of a
dependent ward. Each year the In
dian conference at Lake MohOnk has
some one question as central theme;
one year the reservation; again the

the formulation of a plan to keep
liquor out OF the Indian Territory,
The first of the Indian conferences
at Lake MOhonk was called and or
ganized by Mr.. Smiley, the gentleman
that "discovered" Lake Mohonk, and
an appoinlee Of President Hayes as a
member of the board of Indian com
missioners. Mr.. Smiley, realizing that
there was needed a general conference
of those interested in Indian affairs,
invited, seconded by his wife, hun
dred or more to come together to the
Smiley's Lake Mohonk home for dis
cussion of improved methods in deal
ing with the Indians.
To this first conference, convened
October, 1898, invitations were sent to
the board of indian commissioners, the
senate and house committees on In
dian affairs, army officers having deal
iiRgs with the Indians, prominent mem
hers of the Indian Rights association,

leading men throughout the country

Russians Reassure Natives.

HARDIN, Manchuria, Feb. 13.-The
announcement Of the mobilization of
Russian troops has been received by
the population of this town with en-
thusiasm, and there is tranquility and
confidence in the power Of Russia. The
Japanese have left the town.
In consequence Of the calling out of
the reserves and the departure Of the
Chinese, there is a lack of workmen
and servants in the mills and factories,
which has brought about a restriction
Of the output. The price of provisions
is rising daily. The railroad officials
have requested assistance in order to
send home the families Of the Chinese.
The authorities have exhorted the ma
tives to have confidence in Russian
protection. Enthusiasm and devotion
to duty prevail among the railroad
employees. Numerous women are offer
ing their services as nurses. Express
traffic over the railroad has stopped,
as has also steamer traffic to Dalny,
Shanghai and Japan.

court the force of her objections.
Judge Downing said he would wait six
hours, and the bride, alleged wife and
groom-husband went away together.
Late in the afternoon Miss Ohlsen,
accompanied by a friend, reappeared
in Judge Downing's court. Miss OIL
sen was In tears. She said that San
born had disappeared and that she de-
sired to secure the marriage certificate.
Judge Downing said he had actually
performed the marriage ceremony, and
as the young woman who represented
herself as the wife of Sanborn had
not produced her certificate within the
time limit he had fixed, he would sign
the papers making Miss Ohlsen Mrs.
Sanborn.
Mrs. Sanborn and her friend imme-
diately left the court room. The for
mer told the officials Of the court that
she did not know what had become Of
her husband. Sanborn gave his ia
theirs name as William D. Sanborn,
and said he was from Boston.

S. Sanborn lived until recently in Win

the late w. d. Sanborn, who was a
member of a well known family. Last
December Sanborn was refused a IL

on the ground that neither he nor his
intended bride was of age. Later San

GRAFT IN NUMBERS
Why Suburban Short Streets
Show High Numerals.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia stranger
looking for the home Of George Simp-
son In one Of Brooklyns suburbs yes
terday was told to his surprise by a
postman that it was No. 1888 West -
street. When asked how it was that
in street not over half mile long
any house could have such a number he
learned these facts:
About two years ago the depart
ment of public works found in the city
ordinances a section making it COM
pulsory to house owner to number his
residence, and inspectors were sent
about the suburban districts to make
house to- house canvasses and inform
house owners that they must number
their houses or pay penalty of SO.
THAT ordinance, the greed of the in
spectors and the fact that the munich
pal arts commission had recommended
a certain design for house numbers is
responsible for the fact that Simpsons
house has four numerals" the stranger
was told.
1.-The cost of each number was 81;
four numbers, 81. If the inspector had
not been checked by shame some of the
houses out this way would have six or
even seven figures by which to desig-
nate them.
TT was a pretty fair game while it
lasted, but the householders began to
get curious and some even intimated
that they would take chance before a
magistrate rather than submit to a
charge Of So or 81. That put an end to
the scheme,
