Tels Of chIoaao Honor.

The following article gives extracts from
a letter written by Charles G.. Steele to his
father. Rev. l.. B. Steele, Of Sharon and
may be OF interest to those who knew
.sCharlie."
Chicago! poor Chicago TIT city that
has grown from nothing to the greatest Of
them all in only fifty years. We have
always claimed everything the greatest
and newest; now We are all in mourning
for the greatest, the most terrible, the
most far-reaching catastrophe that has
occurred on the American c~ontinent-the
dreadful fire and panic at the lroquois
theatre. Two thousand one hundred peo-
Pile were in that death trap. This MORN
ing the death list is 5SS. The list OF
MANNED AM. injured is-God only knows
how many. The hospitals, hotels and
private homes are full.
The great audience had gathered to
witness the extravaganza, MIR. Blue
beard.1 Ii was children's day. The house
was crowded with women and children,
and but few men.
In one fateful five minutes one in every
four was dead and most Of the rest injured.
Thirty-six school teachers are in the list
OF dead and one is missing.
You remember noting the beautiful
residence OF Mr.. Budlong, our %neighbor.
His son-in-law, III. II. Chester, took a
party OF eleven-all blood relatives-to the
play. Now 1t reads:-
eH. II. Chester, wife and three children
terribly burned about heads and bodies,
taken TO the Sherman House, not expected
to live; of the other six. five dead and one
insane.'f And that is only one theatre
party so small and unimportant that II
was not mentioned in the papers.
Two ladies-our neighbors and intimate
friends of Belle, (his wife)-were at the
play that Wednesday afternoon. They
sat in the first row in the second balcony,
right in enter OF the house. They were
found in their seats burned to their waists.
They had not moved. Death to them was
instantaneous. One OF these, Mrs. Mills,
and a friend were coming to visit Belle the
next day; instead came their death mes
sage. ~
Mills funeral. When We reached the
cemetery we had to fall In line and wait
our turn TO get in. 1t was one solid mass
of hearses, dead wagons m carriages and
lines of mourners that had come by cars.
And this was only one cemetery. There
are 25 about the city and all were alike
Yesterday. On our way home we met one
solid stream Of professions, some follow
ing one hearse, some two and some three,
and one following one black hearse and
three small white ones. Poor Chicago !
Mrs. Mills left a husband and two little
girls. one eight years old, the other six.
But | cannot write more. Ii IS no use TO
try to convey to o one fraction OF the
horror. We are all safe.
Goodby,
CHARLIE.

More TeIephone Information.

Some additional facts can be given con-
corning the annual meeting OF the orange
County Telephone Co. last week.
Between 400 and 500 shares Of the COM
| PAWS stock were represented.
The reports of the officers we're listened
TO with interest, and showed the COM
pany's finance to be in far better condi-
tion than had been feared by many, owing
to the heavy outlay and necessary eN-
penses made necessary by the company 5
ii rst wears existence as a corporation, ana
| showing that over $1,000 had passed
through the treasury during the past MS
cal year, that the company has y switches
in operation 1.-TWO more to be set in a few
| days) at which points 80 sets of extension
| bells are in operation. The entire para
phernalia. except the operators phones,
has been paid for the past year ana
amount to upwards of 5000. A directory
| OF the ompany has been gotten out at an
expense of sSl for printing, advertising
matter being taken into the directory
enough to pay for il within about ~.
Other printed matter for the company
such as stock books, toll cards, account
books, toll account blanks, stationery,
receipt books, notices, ETC., amounted 10
s1OO.45; postage slightly over S21; line re-
pairs and taxes, about $50; directors serv-
ices, $40; treasurer's and secretary 5
services, $50; attorney fees, s3O.4O; other
MINOR expenses. r-fs-a ~ choAAf TN
ing expense for which the company mas no
assets amounted to Si40.S1.
This has been met by the company Dy
excess on line construction, being the
difference between the amount paid 10
the officers of the company for Tine
construction n the actual cost of such
construction and which is turned over
10 the treasury as soon as lines are COM
plete. s162.02 profit on So shares OF stock
sold to pay for line construction not
built on the mile plan and TO pay lot
| switches; all stock sold at so or l333 3,
sI75: these, added TO the toll fees wnich
now amount to about $50 per quarter,
makes a profit to the company above ex-
penses Of about 800, including last quar-
ter's toll fees.
The company has a line construction
i'm Montpelier city, which costs about
$50 per mile, being a fine metallic ser
vice. with a free franchise for the city:
IL also holds a franchise for Northnelu
and has also a line in Barre city.
The company has ordered TO date ozS
miles of wire and 631 telephones; a very
few miles OF wire are not strung ana a rev
telephones not hitched in on that account.
The Union line of Hardwick, Calais and
immediate towns, seeing the success OF
this has recently made appiica-
ton to be absorbed. And thus on IT'S ms
sion of accommodation, good fellowship
and triumph continues on the pioneer OF
the one half mile system, which has now
| become a recognized factor in the state,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, n that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustacian Tube.
When this tube is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound OF imperfect hearing, and
when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tubs restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed for ever. Min cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We viii give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF deafness (caused by catsrrh)

ma SnirIt of Winter.

The Spirit OF Winter is with US, making
its presence known in many different ways
sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine and glis-
tening SHOWS, and sometimes by driving
winds and binding storms. To many
people il seems to take a delight in making
bad things worse, for rheumatism twists
harder, twinges sharper. catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symptoms
Of scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but there
is truth, and It is a wonder that more peo-
pie don't get rid Of these ailments. The
medicine that cures them-Hood's Sarsa-
parilla-is easily obtained and there is
abundant proof that its cures are radical
and permanent.

Congratulations.

Mr.. John II. Cullom, Editor OF the Gar

congratulations to the manufacturers OF
Chamberlainis Cough Remedy as follows:
sixteen years ago when our first child
was a baby he was subject to croupy spells
and we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a re-
liable remedy for colds and Group, we have
never been without il in the house since
that time. We have five children and
have given it to all OF them with good re-
suits. One good feature of this remedy is
that il is not disagreeable TO take and our
babies really like it. Another is that il is
not dangerous, and there is no risk from
giving an overdose. / congratulate you
upon the success Of your remedy" For

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES:
CHAPTER TX.

In the gray wreathed dawn LORD
Dunmore, at the head of his Virginia
troops, marched of with fife and drum
for Port Pitt. and the buff and scarlet
passed the Kings Arms, where Anne
peered from the window to see them
or. In one OF the scarlet groups she
distinguished Francis Byrd. Drawing
the curtains close under her chin she
put out hand and waved to him, smil-
ing. and he saluted her face with a
dash of his sword and wistful look as
he rode by. Immediately behind the
governor. near Jarrat, rode Foy, and
a sting Of resentment made her clinch
her hands. with the steel in her eyes.
When they had gone she crept back
into the warm bed and lay smilingly
thinking. She should see Armand soon
again, and he should never know what
she had done So thinking, she drop
ped to sleep and did not wake till the
sun was high.
She breakfasted with gay spirits, in
sisted on riding horseback and, fol-
lowed by John the Baptist, galloped
of half hour in advance of her aunt's
chariot along the way to Greenway
Court.
She entered No one was in the hall,
and her feet fell noiselessly in the thick
buffalo robe on the floor.
She pushed open the door of the liv-
ing room and then stopped, startled.
She saw a settle strewn with skins, a
wave OF curling brown hair pillowed on
Il, and under this a glimpse of a pale
face turned away. There was a shadad
window opposite. and light came
through II Whitley. A hand and wrist
hung over TO the floor. There was
something desoate i'm the silence,
something appealing in the droop of
that hand that brought a smart to
Anne's eyes as she looked.
Suddenly she caught her breath and
took quick steps forward into the room,
gazing searchingly at the figure on the
couch-the strong hair, setting all the
paleness OF the face in shadowy
