Notes on the National Game.

The strong Newport, n. H., semi
professional team will play against
Brattleboro on the island tomorrow
afternoon at 80. This will take the
place of the Keene league, that team
having cancelled.
Brattleboro will play two games
with Winchester on Monday, the
Fourth. Slattery will be in the box
for at least one of the games and
NAV do the slab work in both. Win
chester will put strong team IN the
field in an endeavor to keep ahead
in the league race.
Tommy Guiheen is certainly put.
ting up a great game of BAN for ran
River. His fielding and stick work
have been of the best, and on Monday
he won a game for his team against
Haverhill by daring base-running.
In connection with Guiheens release
from New Bedford The Mercury OF
that city says At the beginning OF
the season when Guiheen had appar-
emily outlived his usefulness and was
helping the team lose, there was
general cry for his release. When
Valdois began to make errors at Sec
ond base the same people who cried
Let. Guiheen CO. shouted Why did
he let Guiheen go?" Doubtless every
manager finds himself in many situa-
tions similar to this, and the result is
that a manager becomes aware that
the majority of baseball enthusiasts
know nothing about the game. When
Manager Doe parted with Guiheen he
said. Il know I'll be sorry, for l know
that 1 cannot pick up another man
anywhere near as good as he is
The Fall River Globe says that Bow
cock left the Fall River team because
he was Jealous of Guiheen and wanted
his old place at second, and contin-
ues: with all due respect to Bow
cocks right and privileges and his
ability taken into consideration, his
work never gave the satisfaction to a
local audience that Guiheen is daily

Score OF 1915.

Brattlehoro took fall out of VIM

the league leaders down a peg by de-

like q close contest bur AT the end OF
the third inning with the score 90 n

of the severe thunder shower The
remainder of the game was played
with wet ball. which Is conducive
of errors. but the contest was inter-
esting notwithstanding this draw
back. a feature of the game was the
excellent slab work of Slattery. He
allowed five hits during the first four
innings, but not n visitor got safe
one after that. Ferriter made one OF
the most sensational catches ever
seen on the grounds, running far into
deep center and spelling what looked
like three Dagger, and then nego-

man at first The Allen brothers and
March did the heavy hitting for
Brattleboro, the latter banging out
fine home run. while Frost played an

Hooker Gets Busy.

Certainly Hooker has a winning
way.-Waterbury Record.
District Delegate James F. Hooker
of Brattleboro evidently made as fav-
orable impression at Chicago as he
does at home. He was made secretary
of the committee to officially notify
Theodore Roosevelt of his nominal
ton. This is honorable recognition for
the young Vermont republican.-Rut-
land News.
James Fisk Hooker of Brattleboro
is a young man and new figure in
Vermont politics. but he gives prom
ise of possessing his fathers aptness
and capacity for the detail of prac-
teal politics and has already achieved
some distinction in that line. YER
mont may cordially welcome such
signs of political ieverness in the
rising generation Good managers in
politics are quite as indispensable in
this country as good managers in bus
mess. only W could hope that they
would not MAKE business Of politics.

SIG. sAuTELLE's CIRCUS JULY 6.
Will Give Two Performances on the
Island and Street Parade.

/ The advance car of Sig. Sautelle's
consolidated circus was in town
last week. and the bill boards in this
section are now respondent with
views of the many marvellous feat
ures which will be seen here Wednes-
day July 6, when two performances
will be given on the island.
According to the press agent few
circus aerialists. no matter how dar-
ing. work without first minimizing
their danger by the erection of safe
~ net directly under them and ten
or a dozen feet above the ground
More fearless and death defying than
all others, the aerial performers with
Sig. Sautelle's Nine Consolidated
Railroad Shows use neither net or
life belts, depending entirely upon
their own courage, confidence and
powers. There are more amazing,
stupendous, terrifically startling and
exceedingly sensational mid-air
champions with the Sautelle circus
than are to be found in all others
combined. The hair raising. thrilling
feats these conceded meteoric kings
and queens perform high above the
heads of the fear gasping spectators
are such as few persons dare risk.
The members of one troupe particu-
lany appear to be without nerves or
fear. They pass and repass from bar
to bar from ring TO ring, and subse-
uuently from bar to landing place
with cleverness, certainty and pre-
cision, showing the loftiest possible
training coupled with the most fearful
astonishing skill and Judgment They
fly through space, their bodies re-
volving like swiftly moving balls, toss
and catch each other with as much
unconcern as the average person ex-
hibits when sitting down to an I'M
commonly good dinner. The other
performers upon Mr.. Sautelle's pay
rolls are likewise post graduates OF
their profession, having been caAed
from the top most circles of American
and European artists. The clowns are
more ludicrous than ever and are the
monarchs of fun and frolic They
cause the children to go into par
oxysms of laughter and elicit smiles
from even savants, philosophers and
scientists. They cause spinsters,
bachelors and nurses ecstasies OF
merriment. The clowns in themselves
are a whole show. Lack of space
prevents the naming of all other
mighty features in the big shows, his
torical wild west and menagerie; sur
flee to say they are the best wealth
can obtain. This great circus will ex-
hibit in Bellows Falls Tuesday, July 5.

Too Much Proctor.

A Burlington republican who signs
himself No Boiler, writes as follows to
the Rutland Herald:
| have Just read an item in the
Brattleboro Reformer headed, Fletch-
er Proctor for Speaker Again. the
Lord deliver us. Haven't we honored
the Proctor family enough in the past
without their bobbing up for once
every year?
WHY not honor o. NJ. Barber with
the speakership or some other good
republican, who is not continually
seeking office? But then, there IS
nothing like keeping before the people,
YOU know, and especially if you are
going to run for governor two years
hence.
The people haven't forgotten the
grave mistake Fletcher Proctor made
two years ago, and won't for some
time to come.
If the Proctor family is not the
whole push" / say pass the honors
around among worthy republicans
who are not chronic office-seekers.

FOURTH OF JULY DANGERS.
State Board of Health Issues Timely
Warning.

To the people of Vermont
The approach of our great national
holiday is to many a source OF consid-
cradle anxiety. It's celebration last
year caused 4349 casualties. The
number injured who recovered was
1888: 400 died from lock-jaw caused
by injuries Many lost an arm or leg,
forty were rendered blind.
These accidents were caused by the
toy pistol and other explosives. In
view of these many accidents we
would warn all parents and other per-
sons having charge Of children of the
great danger attending these explo-
sives, and especially of allowing child
rem to handle them
However, should any accident occur,
however slight. do not temporize with
it but call your physician at once.
Antiseptics and cauterization are
not sufficient; the only means to pre-
vent lock- jaw is the use of tetanus
antitoxin.

antee Bond with Every Box.

The unusual way In which George
Il. Greene. one of Brattleboro's most

CAUSE OF ExLP0-
SION UNKNOWN
Two More Seamen Die From Injuries
Impressive Ceremonies in Ma
tionaI Cemetery.

Pensacola, Florida, April 1.-Two
more ordinary seamen who were injur-
ed in the terrible explosion on board
the battleship Missouri at target prac-
tice yesterday are dead. There is also
one man of the turret crew missing
from the ship. The general opinion is
that he was either blown overheard or
else escaped from the turret and jump
ed overheard being crazed with pain.
Experts say that the explosion was
caused by blow back, known as the
wind blowing the flames back from
the muzzle of the gun and through the
open breech, thus igniting the powder
charge being hoisted The officers OF
the vessel differ in their opinion as
to the cause of the explosion but the
exact cause will probably never be
known Impressive ceremonies were
conducted over the graves of the rs
seamen this afternoon at the national
cemetery at the navy yard. The bodies
of the five dead officers are being
held here awaiting advices as to their
burial or shipment.

DEPORTED MINERS RETURN.
Spanish War-WiIl Go to

Folsom, N. NJ, April 1.-Two of the
last squad of miners deported from
Trinidad, Colorado, and unloaded at
Folsom, have returned to Trinidad.
One of these men, James d. Ritchie,
holds two honorable discharges from
the United States military service, and
served as sergeant under Colonel
Roosevelt in the late Spanish-Ameri-
can war. He will go from here to Ra-
ton. The other one is expecting his
family on the south bound passenger
train tonight, when he will join them
and go on to Thurber, Texas, where
he had arranged to go before being ar
rested. The men unloaded here say no
charges have been preferred against
them, and no reasons have been given
why they were arrested and sent out
of the country. This last was the
third or fourth squad of deported min
ers unloaded here

SOCIALISTS RAISE
OBJECTIONS
To the Sale Of the German Cruiser
Fuerst Bismarck to a Russian
Company.

Berlin, April 14-In the Reichstag
today Herr Bebel, Socialist leader
declared that the Socialists did not oh
iect to Chancellor Won Buelows dec
laration of neutrality and the localiza
,tion Of the war in the fa.; East but
Germany's neutrality was not in
doubt. He referred to the sale of the
steamer Fuerst Bismarck to a Russian
company and asked whether the for
eign office permitted the sale. The
steamer was an auxiliary cruiser of
the German navy at the time of the
outbreak of the war and hence her
sale was more astonishing. 1--WE, "
said Herr Bebel must energetically
protest against such a procedure. The
world is full of tinder material. One
spark can set the world ablaze.
therefore ask the chancellor what he
thinks of these sales"

trality whereas condolences over an
accident do not involve neutrality.
Active Operations Will Probably Start.
London, April 14-There is practical
unanimity of opinion here that the
loss of the Petropavlosk and the death
of Admiral Makaroff will mark the
commencement of active operations
on land. In discussing the probabili-
ties, daily telegraph expert says:
81 certainly shall be surprised if the
day of the death of the admiral does
not become the historic date from
which rapid change in the develop
ment of the land campaign will hereaf-
ter reckon. 1t is almost certain that
Makaroff's death will be the signal
first, for the blocking of Port Arthur
with loaded merchantmen for which
the Japanese have so carefully pre-
pared and Immediately afterward for
a combined naval and military attack
upon Port Arthur"
