OLD COUPLE DEAD.

Plainfield. April 30. -Stephen Hol-
lister of this town died on Thursday
at II O'Clock in the morning and the
funeral of his wife was at O'Clock on
the same afternoon. 1t had always
been the desire of Mrs. Hollister that
she might outlive her husband in or
der that she might care for him in his
infirmity. He had been in i'll health
for long time and the desire was
probably very nearly realized, as it is
doubtful if he ever anew that his life
partner was dead. Mr.. HOLSTER was
80 years old, and his wife was SO and
they had been married for 5S years.
They were among the oldest residents
of the town, and Mr.. HOLSTERS faith
er had lived there before him. Their
presence will be greatly missed in a
community in which they were highly
esteemed. Their house is full of relics
of all descriptions.

Judgment was rendered on Thurs
day for the defendant in the case of
the Capital Savings Bank & Trust
Co.. VS. the Montpelier Savings Bank
q Trust Company which concerns the
Hardness cashiers check. Late We'd
nesday afternoon the attorneys in the
case were called to the judges room
at the court house and were told what
facts the court had found. This morn
ing a statement of the facts found was
filed with the clerk and soon after
wards Judgment was rendered upon the
facts as found. Some of the facts as
found favor the plaintiff and some
favor the defendant but the two main
contentious of the defendant are sus
tanned The court fails to find that
the plaintiff bank used such care and
diligence with regard to the cashier
check as it should have used under the
circumstances, and fail, to find that un-
der the circumstances the plaintiff
could be considered an Innocent holder
for value. 1t is held that the law is
that the plaintiff who seeks to recover
upon a check or note obtained by
fraud must show himself to be an in
nocent holder for value. Judgment is

TWO MAXH1 MS.
g. G., of Northfield Hears From the
Other Mexican War Veteran.

Gaen o. Markham of Mortified,
who celebrated his eighty-second
birthday, February %, by walking
from Mortified to Montpelier in the
snow, was in the city today and made
the Journal visit. At the time of
his celebrating his birthday, story
was printed of his novel way of re-
calling his milestones and his youth
full vigor in old age. The story was
copied in other papers and it was not
long before Mr.. Markham received
many letters from old Mexican war
veterans Offering congratulations and
relating incidents of the war. Per-
haps the most interesting case was
letter from Chauncey Markham at Port
Allegheny, Pennsylvania, who had
read the account of Mr.. Markham 8
feat in State paper.
He was member of Company d,
9th Infantry, under Captain Kimball,
the same company as the Northfield
Markham. He recalls the time. fifty
six years ago, when they each an.
swered to the roll call, the Northfield
man as Markham No and himself as
Markham No. Q. Since the war they
had never heard from each other until
| he read the account. He tells an in
, teresting story of his life saying that
he served two years in the Rebellion
and after the war entered the granite
and marble business, leaving Vermont
for Pennsylvania about eight years
ago. He stated that the last man of
his company he had known of was a
man named Hilyard, who deserted at
Rhode Island and who died nine years
since
Another interesting letter was re.
ceived from John M. Goodwin. who
is living in Newbury at the age OF
eighty-four years and who served il
the Mexican war in Company @. He
invited Mr.. Markham to visit him this
summer. Mr.. Markham is always wei
coined in Montpelier.

Lette r to A. ID. Farwell.

Dear Sir: The easiest business in
this world is dry goods; the reason
is: your customers want your stuff
as much as you want to sell it; they
come in; you show it and sell it,.
That's the whole business, except
your buying the goods.
Devoe comes next. 1t saves money,
and people like money, They like
somebody else's more than their own
they like to make it more than to
save it; they like to keep it perhaps
as we'll as to make it.
Buildings run down fast. without
paint; poor paint is the same. Devoe
is the means of stopping that leak
a big one. All we've got to do, to sell
Devoe, is to show that man saves
money by using it.
K. d. Jewell, CORY, Pa, painted
his house years ago with mixed
paint; IA gallons. Last spring he
painted Devoe: 10 gallons. Saved $1i
to $50.
Yours truly,

WILL NOT EXHIBIT.

Burlington, April 30.-At a meet
ing in this city, few years ago, of
members of the Vermont Maple Sugar
Makers Association, it was decided to
throw up the scheme, at least for the
present, of making a State exhibit at
the st. Louis Exposition. Reports
from all over the State confirm the
statement that this has been the best
sugar season since 1898 and it was con-
fidently expected that a large showing
would be made at the big fair under
the auspices of the Vermont Sugar
makers Association. Ii is said that
the reason for the latter decision is
that the proper concessions cannot be
secured from the Fair people.
