stealing several hundred books to the val

Boston, lie was educated at Harvard.
Brown university and Boston college
His house and stables in Gleasondale.
Mass, were burned a few months ago
and he was arrested on the charge of in
cendiarism. but was acquitted. Soon
afterward he married Miss Nellie Web
ster, beautiful girl, whose home is in
Whitman. The disappearance from the
Boston public library of a copy of Fan
shave, published by Nathaniel Hawthorne
and valued at $500, led to an investigation
which ended in Bates's arrest, and in the
discovery of many stolen books in his
library. The defense is that he is a
kepIomaniac.

DEFEAT ALSO AT oLENs FALLS.

5rattleboro Said, However. to Have the
Fastest Team Which Ever Visited That
City.
IT, the contest at Glens Falls Saturday
night between the Brattleboro Y. NJ. c.
y. and GleEs Falls Y. NJ. c. \. the latter
won 20 to 9. Glens Falls has the fastest
team in eastern New York and has seldom
met With a defeat. The report intended
for The Phoenix has evidently misca FRIED
in the mails, but a private letter from
Glens Falls says the game was fast and
clean and that the score gives no idea
of the closeness of the playing. In the
second half Brattleboro outplayed Glens
Falls, passing the ball in fine form, and
defeat was due to inability to find the
baskets This failure is explained in part
by the peculiar construction and loca-
tion of the baskets. There were no
screens back of the baskets in either
Glens Falls or Saratoga. At Glens Falls
a brace held three shots by Howe which
ordinarily would have been safe. The
Glens Falls players pronounce the Brattle-
boro team the fastest that has ever visited
that city.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew
Jackson, which has been carried by him
ever since. Mr.. Brock is dienified old
gentleman, showing few signs of de-
crepitude. His family Bible is still pre-
served, and it shows that the date of his
birth was written ia years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had ia
years of experience to draw from, would
be interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Tines-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with
a double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December IL, 1898, and also the
Chicago-Times Herald Of same date.

ROAST FOR AN OFFICIAL.
Saratoga Papers Say His Decisions Rob-
bed 5rattleboro OF Game Against Fort
Edward.

The Brattleboro Y. NJ. c. a., basket ball
team in invading New York state last
Friday and Saturday, met with defeat,
but made an excellent showing, and it is
evident that victory would have been
scored in Saratoga but for the tactics of
an official The contest took place Friday
evening in the Y. NJ. c A., gymnasium in
Saratoga and the score was Satterlee Hose
company of Fort Edward, n y, %, Brat
tlebOro y. NJ. {. A., 20. The Daily Sara
tosian of Saturday devoted a column to
the account of the game, and said in part.
The game was conceded to be the hard
est, fastest and cleanest basketball match
ever played in Saratoga.
Close critics Of the game, however,
insist that the BrattleDoro boys outplayed
their opponents and would have won
but for unfaVorabe decisions by James
NJ. Dunn, OF Fort Edward, one of the
officials of the game. They say that Mr..
Dunn, who umpired the first half and
refereed the second half, was manifestly
Unfair in the second half in allowing the
ball to remain in play in scrimmages di
rectly under the NeTmonters' basket when
he should have blown his whistle, and
thereby permitting the Satterlees to make
two or more goals from the field. They
also charge him with Partially in cases
where the ball went out of bounds, once
allowing a Satterlee man to shoot goal
when one foot was outside the boundary
line. MIR. Dunn is coach for the Fort Ed
ward team.
The passing of the Brattleboro players
was exceptionally pretty to watch, partic
ularly in the first half, which was theirs
by the score of 10 to g."
The Saratogian said that some of Dunns
decisions were so bad that the spectators
Missed him. n former Brattleboro man
who saw the game says that Dunn's work
was the rankest he ever saw by an official
in "A basket ball game.

character of the Japanese people and
their methods of warfare to understand
that this charge against them cannot
possibly be well founded. Just as well
might We suspect company of Amer
ican soldiers to shoot all the wounded
as to suspect the Japanese OF such hor-
ror. They have their faults, but delib-
crate bloodthirstiness of this sort is not
one of them In the great campaign
that they have made and the terrible
engagements through which they have
passed all reports agree in declaring
that they have kept up to the full
standard of the civilized world. They
have treated the enemies wounded and
captured with generosity as well as
humanity. So have the Russians.
While reports like that which Russia
has sent out are inevitable incidents of
every war, they cannot be accepted for
a moment without positive proof. 1t is
lacking in this case, and the world may
be very confident that it cannot be
supplied.

future need OF this country when con-
ditions become normal, when the
worlds wheat supply rises once more
to its natural figure and wheat prices
fall to the line of year ago, is the
securing of market. If we have no
other recourse then, when Great Brit
ain contracts her demand and stin1u-
lates production in her colonies at
cur expense, the wheat market will
show progressive decline and our
farmers find themselves in the grip OF
poverty growing more desperate and
irremediable year by year. The worth
of craftsmanship consists in looking
ahead and preparing to meet new con-
ditions. Is the party now in control of
our government equal to its task and
its responsibilities If so it can find
nothing more urgent, than the search
for new market for the food products
of the United States.

A BAsELEss REPORT

The charge made by the head of the
Russian Red Cross society at Port Ar
thur that the japanese fire upon hos
pital ships and in other respects deny
the obligations OF civilized warfare
might have been expected long ago. 1t
is one Of the invariable incidents of
warfare and it does not deserve a Sec
ond thought. The reader will remem-
Der that charges of exactly the same
nature We're made repeatedly and vio-
lently during the war in South Africa
by both British and Beers. At the time
the men who made the accusation, in
famed as they were by passion, no
doubt believed that it was just. The
public did not believe it then, and no.
body believes it. today. The Russian
report is worthy of no more credence.
War is not a humane business. In
the stress of hostile operations a gun
cannot always be aimed with such
nicely as to hit if the target is an en-
emy and to miss if Red Cross build
ing or ship happens to stand in the
way. In the hail of projectiles that has
descended upon the fortifcations at
Port Arthur and upon the warships in
its harbor, it would be incredible that
the house of mercy should not some
times suffer. OF course hospitals have
been struck and hospital ships have
been endangered or destroyed. That is
as lamentabie, but just as unes-
capeable, as that Innocent people viii
be killed from firing into a mob.
