DIVIDED in TASTE.


One morning as Judge c, - down
In Va, was starting for the town
he was approached by one of his
negroes, who with more or less con-
fusien asked:
"Massa, when yo' goes to the
cot house will you git me a licensea
I'ze gwine to be married."
Married, are you, Sama All
right" called the Judge as he hastily
drove off. Arriving at the court
house, he spent very busy day,
and 1t was not until he was prepar-
ing to leave that he remembered
Sans license and realized that he
had not been told the name of the
bride elect.
"The old idiot, he never told me
who he wants to marry, but of
course it's Lucinda. He's always
making eyes at her." So saying
he returned to the court house and
had the license made out in the
names of Sam and Lucinda. Sam,
was the first to greet him upon his
return with the inquiry.
"Git me my license, NASSAU"
''Yes, Sam. you old fool. You
didn't tell me who you want to mar
ry but / remembered how you're
always hanging around counting
Lucinda and got the license in her
name"
'Iawd, massa," exclaimed Sam,
"tain't Lucinda; it's Kyarline.
What's | gwine ter do. NASSAU"
"WelI, /" said the Judge, 'the only
thing will be for me to get another
license tomorrow"
''Massa," said Sam, did yo' pay
anything for dem license1"

FIVE cents"
''will another license cost any

Both Houses Intend TO Have
Say Regarding the
Appointment
SENATE WANTS PLATT

Montpelier, Dec. 2.-The state O.
Vermont has no inspector of finance
that office not having been included in
the list of appointments made by Gov
Bell prior to Dec ember |. tits strong.
ly suspected that he would like to APP.
point Pliny J. Cowles of st Johnsbury
to that Office. 1t IS also believed that
the legislative branch here wants the
present incumbent, F. S. Plat, of
Poultney, reappointed. AS the statute
now reads the governor need pay no
attention to the wishes of the legisla.
ture as the appointment does not re-
quire confirmation.
The legisa ure proposes to have a
say in the matter and so a bill has
been introduced amending the statute
so the appointment shall be made with
the advice and consent of the senate,
and the Inspector shall remain in Office
until his successor is appointed and
qualities. To make sure that this wish
is gratified the house has already
amended the bill so that the present
inspector shall remain in office until
his successo" is. appointed and con.
firmed. Yesterday morning the bill
was read the third time, the rules were
suspended and it was passed. Mr.
Blanchard of Newport explained that
the hasty action was due to the act that
the state is without an inspector of fl
nance and quick action was necessary.
1t is understood that petition bear
ing the signatures of all but three
members OF the senate has been sent
the governor asking for the reappoint-
ment of Mr. Plat and there is consid-
cradle conjecture as to the validity of
an appointment by the governor.
The senate under suspension of'rules
yesterday afternoon rushed through
the bill and sent it to the governor.
The senate yesterday ordered to a
third reading Senator Skinner's bill
granting municipal suffrage to tax
paying women.
Senator Skinner spoke for the bill,
explaining that it was to give munich
pal suffrage only to such women as
paid taxes; Senator Parker of Frank
lin thought discrimination should not
be made between women who owned !
real estate in their own name and !
who owned property or were
in property with their hus-
bands; Senator Fish Of Windsor spoke
on taxation without representation,

SURE ADAMS IS DEAD.
Embalmins Fluid Injected in Body of Chsst.r's
Gentleman Burglar"

Windsor, Dec. 1.-The report that
Clarence Adams, the gentleman bur-
glar from Chester, is alive in Montre-
al, is not generally credited here. Sew.
eral prison officials were interviewed
today and are positive that Adams
died in the prison hospital last Febru-
airy and DR. John d. Brewster, the pris-
on physician, says that Adams died as
above stated from oedema of the lungs.
l.. F. Abbott, the undertaken who
cared for the body after death, says
that he injected three quarts of en-
balming fluid in the body after death.
His assistant, W. G. Cabot, took the
body from the undertaking rooms,
where it lay for over day, and car
rled it in the casket to the tomb at
Cavendish, where it wasy afterwards
buried in the Adams family lot.
If there was any tampering with the
body it must have been done after the
body left Windsor.

principal hope is that the report OF the
two bank examiners will show the
bank to be in good condition. Mayor

ed 20 VIII t extent the Singer company

He was traced to Orwell where he
left the team which belonged TO the
company in livery stable and took
the train for parts unknown, although
IL is thought that he may have gone to
Williamsburg, n. Y. The sheriff has
been notified OF his disappearance and
an effort is being made to locate him.
He had been trusted and valuable
employe of the Singer company who
were loath to believe that anything
was amiss with his accounts and no

to poss bile irregularities as all of his
books went with Moore. 1t is not
known that Moore is indebted to l.. c.
Allen of this town. Moore is about AS
years old, well educated and of good
address. He went to Burlington from
Montreal and entered the employ of
the Singer company as an agent last
February. Little is known of his fam
lily connections but it is supposed that
he is married
