IN MEMORY

of my beloved husband, ROBERT
BLACKSTONE, who died Novem.
Der %, 1903.
On cool November morn,
just before the break of day,
The angel came for father
And took him away.
1t is now a lonely Preside
For us to behold
And no one can take his place,
But God only knows.
For He called him in time
To meet him at Bethlehem;
Sing praises men of Bethlehem,
Reigns Jesus Christ the Lord.
By his wife,
MARY o. BLACKSTONE.

DECLINES NOMINA TON.

Waterbury, Aug. Sc. e. Moody
of this place, who was nominated tor
first Senator on the fusion ticket at
Montpelier on Thursday, has declined
the nomination absolutely. He re-
fused to allow his name to be used in
this connection, and notified.the chair
man and secretary of the meeting, and
f. P. Carleton of the county commit
tee to this effect. He never acquiesced
in the proposition urged upon him to
take place on the fusion ticket
Mr.. Moody is one of Waterbury s
leading Republicans. He fully appre-
ciates the compliment involved in the
action of the convention and is not
uninindful of the fact that the con-
vention had confidence in his fitness
to serve as Senator of Washington
county. However, he is most en-
phatic in declining the nomination.
He does not recognize the existence of
al issue that can serve for an excuse
for such disruption of party lines.
These are the reasons he declines the
proffered candidacy, and cannot allow
his name to be used on the fusion
ticket.
He believes in the loyal allegiance
to the straight Republican ticket as
ratified at the Republican convention,
and that that ticket should be given
cordial and undivided support by the
Republican voters. He bespeaks for
the Republican county ticket the
handsome majority it deserves.
Mr.. Moody is no man to be party
to the disruption in the regular Re-
publican organization of whose
achievements he is proud and in
whose futu re he has full faith.

BY far the largest meetings were
those for Peace and Arbitration, and
for Woman Suffrage, the latter indeed
arousing much more interest than all
the others combined. Although
women from all parts of the world
were present there seemed to be no
division of opinion on this question !;
and the International Council adopted
it as one of the principal objects for
which it would work during the next
five years. This is perhaps the most
important action ever taken toward
the enfranchisemen of women, and it
indicates Enthusiastically that in all
kinds of work and in all countries
they find themselves at disadvantage
without the suffrage, Hencetorth in
Germany, as a result of this meeting,
women and their work will be placed,
on distinctly higher plane and both
will command greater respect

DIED WHILE BATHING.

Lake Placid, N. Y, Aug. g.
Ralph Warren OF Stowe, VT, lost his
life while bathing in Mirror Lake at
4 80 yesterday afternoon. He was 81
years of age, Junior at the Univer-
sity of Vermont and was employed
here for the summer as waiter a
Lake Placid club.
In company with George Parish of
Stowe and Winston Dunning, young
Warren started out for bath. He
was taken with cramps and in spite of
the efforts of his two companions who
were not swimmers, he was dead be-
fore they could get him out. The
BODY was in the water just six m in
utes. His lungs were found to be full
of blood, showing that he died from
some organic trouble.
Ralph r. Warren was born in
Stowe and was the only son of Alba
A. and Abbie Warren. His father
died when the boy was thirteen years
of age and since that time he had
contributed toward the support of
his mother. He had been in the
University of Vermont two years and
was a faithful and WE'LL liked stu
dent. He was a man of excellent
character.

f. p. Carleton spoke briefly on the
necessity of getting out the entire
Democratic vote this fall. II. O.
ShurCleff said they were tired of be-
ing obliged to have the county officers
of the inefficient type that the Re-
publican machine had elected in the
past, and hoped every Democrat
would come out this fall and support
the ticket nominated today.
The conference committee reported
again at 2 O'Clock. The name of w.
T. Dewey of Montpelier was substi-
tuted Tor that Of Alexander of Barre
for the third Senator. Lafayette Myers
of Cabot wanted least one-half
Democrats on the ticket. H. o. Shurt-
left moved that the candidates recon-
mended by the committee be the list
of officers to be voted for in this con-
vention.
Several spoke for or against the
proposed list, and the convention
voted to accept the ticket recommend
ed by the committee. At o'clock
the convention adjourned.

CHICAGO STRIKE.

Chicago, Aug. 6. -Rumors of an
other peace conference between the
packers and the strikers were occa-
stoned last night by the appearance at
the live stock exchange of John M.
Boardman and M. E. Miner, presi-
dent and secretary of the Montana
Roundup Association, an organization
of drivers which sends nearly $50, 600
head of cattle to the yards each year.
Although the stock yards officials and
packers Representatives denied knowl-
edge of any peace move, it is under.
stood that the Montana men will try
to arrange conference.
The packers assert that there was a
considerable increase in business over
that of Thursday. The strikers last
night declared that the strike from
now on would be active When
President Donnelly. of the Butchers
Union, returned yesterday from the
West he conferred with the other la.
Dor leaders here. Another meeting
will be held today, when action in
regard to calling strike of the truck
drivers will be taken.
There was run on the Drovers'
Trust and Savings Bank here yester-
day because of an unfounded rumor
chat one of the packers representa-
tives had withdrawn his money from
the institution and reported that the
bank was being used by the packing
companies as an adjunct in pay ing off
their new employees who have taken
the places of the strikers. The offic-
ials of the bank called in extra tellers
and the place was kept open until
every depositor who presented himself
at the window had been satisfied.

New Orleans, Aug 6.-Twelve men,
including seven negroes were struck
senseless by lightning Thursday while
at work on the Norwegian steamship
Condor five miles from here. The
vessel was in dock and was being
scraped when the thunderbolt struck
the ships mizzenmast. After the
bolt had travelled down the port steel
side stays and connected with the steel
hull, every man within fifty feet was
rendered unconscious. The ship suf-
fered no damage except the loss of the
mast, but two men did not recover
consciousness until several hours later.

Il STORY OF MATT CAR
PENTEk.

Mat Carpenter, the famous Wiscon-
sin senator, was pleading a case be-
fore the Supreme Court. Before he
had got half through with his argu-
ment the judges had made up their
minds that his case was without mer-
it, and. moreover, that he was un-
prepared. When he finished his ar
gument and counsel for the other side
got up to reply, the judges whispered
to each other, nodded and then the
chief justice said, Il don't think it
will be necessary to hear from you,
SIR" Carpenters opponent was deaf,
and he oould only tell that the chief
Justice was addressing him. He
turned to Carpenter for aid. What
did the chief justice say, MattY" he
whispered. He said he'd rather
give you the case than listen to you.
Carpenter bawled in his ear.

Birmingham, Aug. 4.-The Post to.
day states that messenger arrived in
London on Monday from St. Peters
burg with dispatches and an autograph
letter from the Gear to King Edward.
The letter was taken to the King who
is at Uowes. The dispatches were read
and discussed by the cabinet who
held meeting yesterday and another
messenger left London later for st.
Petersburg. The negotiations that
are proceeding, the Post says, are
quite apart from questions arising
from the passage of Dardanelles by
the Russian volunteer fleet and that
the letter from the Czar came in this
connection. Meanwhile the people
from st. Petersburg give the gloomiest
account of affairs in the Russian capt.
tai, stating that "there is a feeling
of terror and insecurity in many
quarters there which has never been
equaled even in Russia
st. Petersburg, Aug. 6.-It is re-
ported that the Gar has strongly
urged General Kuropatkin to exhaust
every means at his command to main
tain his position at Liao Yang An
other report says the Russian forces
are so exhausted after their continual
fighting during the last seven days
that any rapid movement, such as
is necessary to the successful evacua-
sion of Liao Yang, is impossible. The
Japanesea re reported to be converging
on Lao Yang and seem to have three
sides and are already driving in the
Russian outposts. 1t is known that
official reports are being constantly re-
ceived from Kuropatkin and the fact
that they are not published adds to
the anxiety of the people.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 5.-General
Kuropatkin's precarious position,
hemmed in as he is by the three jap
anese armies north of Haicheng. is
causing the greatest anxiety in official
circles. The lights were burned all
night at the Peterson Palace, where
the Gar is staying, and at several of
the ministers. There was frequent
interchange of messages between the
palace and the ministers.
London, Aug. 5.-The Peninsula and
Oriental Steamship Company an
nounces the discontinuance of it's SER
vice to Japan owing to the impossible
ity of determining what may be termed

Companies will issue similar notices.
London. Aug. 5.-Chefoo dispatches

the night of July 28. for the purpose

refugees left the main force of the
Russians the defenders were inside

fortress. They have 1900 guns placed

cross to make the assault. This Is ex-
pected to occur about August 10. The
