lead by a small margin, their score being
421 as compared with 4O4 for China. But

which will make Gen. Kuropatkin turn
green with envy. The Japs meanwhile are
looking for conscripts.

Another Black Crime.

Charles Mclean, a man about thirty
eight years of age, who resided alone at
a house on the East Elmore road about
three miles from Worcester Corner, has
been murdered.
The body was found in the house
under a bed horribly nutilated, by a
neghbor Monday. His watch was
found ON the floor, so robbery was prob
ably not the cause of. the crime.
Willard Ainsworth, Hollis Heath and
Fred Spencer have been arrested. All
lived back among the mountains near
McIane's. 1t is said all had trouble with
McLane. The murder is the probable
out come of "A bacllwoods feud, similar to
those in Kentucky. The Argus says:
"The scene of the crime is one of the
widest in Washington county. 1t is a
part of the county where might makes
right. Fractional fights and fueds are
not uncommon in this region which is
considered one of the uncivilized portions
of Vermont. McIane lived alone in a
one room house. The conditions at the
three homes are deplorable. McLane
was born III Monkton where his mother

On Friday last at 2 p. m. a large
concourse of friends and relatives gath
cred at the home of Ira j. Twitchell to
pay their last respects and go with his
remains to lay them beside dear ones
who had gone before. He had been in
poor health for the last few years and
had been unable to manage his farm
business. He had leased it and removed
to our village about year ago. Mr..
Twitchell was the son of Daniel and
Lucy Twitchell, being born Oct 4, 1929,
at the Twitchell homestead in New
Haven, where the early years of his life
were spent. Feb. g. lS49, he was mar
ried to Miss Sarah E. Sampson, daugh-
ter of William Sampson, of Weybridge
Six children were born to them. Two
of them died in their infancy and one,
Bernice, only few years ago. Mrs.
Twitchell died June = 1888. January
Is, 1894, he was again married and this
time to Mrs. Lavonia A. McAuley, who,
with Prof. w. |. Twitchell, of Hartford
Conn, Daniel S., of New Haven, and
Herbert X, of Brooklyn, n. Y, survive.
In the death of Mr.. Twitchell the COM
munity loses one of its best members,
one who ever lent his efforts towards
the betterlng of society Although
pleasant and gentlemanly in all his asso-
Citations he was positive in his convic-

he thought to be right, The temper

he was always ready to accommodate
and minister to all who might need
although he made no public profession
of religion. The pastor and church
shared well of his income and his attend

only of day or two's duration and the
end came quite suddenly. The last

THE LITERARY WORLD

Few Americans will be ready to be-
lieve that there is any possibility that
our great cities may be divorced from
our States, making them separate COM
monwealths in our Union, yet the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Samuel e. Mof-
fett in Golfers for September II shows
logical reasons flor such a move. He
says:
There is hardly a doubt that every
city Of over a quarter of a million in
habitants would be better governed as
an independent community than as an
uncongenial member of a partly rural
partnership. 1t could make its laws to
suit its own conditions then. without
having TO go into deals with country
politicians unrestrained by its public
opinion. and 1t could get better men to
serve 1t when its mayors and aldermen
We're at the same time governors and
members of the Legislature. The city
states of New York. Chicago. Philadel-
phia. Boston and San Francisco may
write some chapters of history worth
putting beside those written by the
/ city-states of Athens, Florence, Ven
/ ice and Rome.
