the following manner: They bought GER
tain copper properties for S39. 600 600 and
borrowed the money from the National
City bank OF New York. known as a stand
ard oil institution, to pay the bill Then
the Amalgamated company was organ
lied with a stock capital Of SIS O00. 600.
which bought the said copper properties
from Messrs. H II. Rogers and William
Rockefeller and gave TO them in payment
an OF its capital stock. They turned about
and sold the stock TO the public at 800 a
share and better. used $4,000. 600 OF the
proceeds TO pay of the bank loan. and
pocketed the balance Of $50 000. 900 or

Growing catholicity. That's All.

The Brattleboro Phoenix Of last week
in an editorial on What Father Cunning
hams life in Brattleboro stood for, +"
among other things said: LAS a priest OF
the Roman Catholic church Father Cum
ningham was everything that he should
he. His mission in life was TO serve that
church, and his loyalty and devotion were
steadfast. But he was so courteous and
kind and gentle, he was so broad in SYM
patty he was so indignant and outspoken
about everything that lowered individual
or public morals, he was withal so gem
uine and simple and spontaneous about
II all thai he disarmed criticism. prejudice
fled, and one felt instinctively that no
harm could come to community or state
or nation from any system of religion
thus eNemplified. This was the effect OF
Father Cunningham's life upon his Prot
estant friends, and we believe IL worked
equally in the same direction on Roman
Catholics"
This is a beautiful tribute to Father
Cunningham as the head of his church
in Brattleboro, and vet the same things
can today be said of the reverend fathers
Of the Catholic church in not only Brat
tleboro but in this and other communities
as well. They are not so much better but
there is a difference in their goodness.
They are larger minded, more tolerant
and there is more of that there is room
for-all feeling than there was in former
times. On the other hand Protestants
have grown as well and they today see
things through larger glasses and with
less distorted vision than was the case in
years gone by. The result is less friction
and more of the Golden Rule spirit in all
communities which is in consonance with
American thought and progress.

A Fair Attraction in Connecticut.

The following appeared in the Boston
Herald OF Saturday as a special despatch
from Waterbury, Conn: 4 bull fight with
out blood is being arranged as the special
attraction this year for the farmers Of
Connecticut at the annual Waterbury ag-
ricultural fair, 10 be given in this city
next month. The matGdor who will per-
form the feat is noted as one Of the
strongest men in the country. According
To the representatives he encounters the
bull in the arena. where he tantalizes the
bull 10 a frenzy and makes it charge on
him Then he deity steps aside, seizes
the lowered head by one of the horns
and shakes the animals head until it is
goaded to madness. Several times he
does this until the bull makes a desperate
charge. Then he stands directly in front
OF it, seizes both horns, throws il TO the
ground, completely suhduing it, so that he
can reclne with his head on the animals
body, and afterward lift the bull TO his
shoulders and carry it from the arena.
Then he is ready for two more bulls.
Here is a suggestion for the Valley Fair
managers if they wish something "origi-
nal" If the matador wishes to come to
Brattleboro certain farmers declare that
they will find three bulls TO make the day
interesting for him. But gentle reader
please consider that the silly season is
always open and take the above with
grain of allowance.

A WORD TO sPoRTsMEN.

Editor Of the Phoenix
Dear sir Kindly permit me to call the
attention OF sportsmen here I'm Windham
county TO the fact that ! have recently
liberated several English pheasauts i'm the
woods on ~Ames Hill and these. If pro-
tected by the fall hunters. l hope will
rapidly propagate. To the end THAI in the
near future they viii be sufficiently pleu-
tiful to afford most excellent sport.
The rapid disappearance Of the part
ridge has already been widely commented
upon. and should a substitute in the form
Of the English pheasant be found it would
be cause for no little thankfulness.
The pheasant is a hardy bird once fairly
started. and my experience with their
raising convinces me that they will stand
the hsrd winters Of Vermont as no other
bird can. They are prolific egg producers
and invariably hatch large broods when
not disturbed In their haunts.
Actuated by desire to give TO these
beautiful birds a fair trial, ! appeal 10 all
| sportsmen To protect them for a couple OF
years at least. that we may determine
their ability to live and thrive in our
midst
Yours respectfully,
F. ". CHILDS

Cassveu of Ashuelot took the worst
humping that any pitcher has ever receiV-

what might have been "a good game was

both speed and control. He gave men
bases on balls and when he got the ball
within reach the Hinsdale players soak
ed it all over the lot After 13 runs
had been chalked up and only one man
out In the first inning he was relegated
to third base and the reliable A. Thomp-
son of Winchester was called to the res
cue. 1t was too late but the remainder
of the game was wei played. In the first
