Marrow Gauge" No More.

A conference Thursday at Brattleboro
between the stock holders, officers and
commissioners Of the Brattleboro 4 White
hall Railway company resulted in an
agreement whereby the Central Vermont
will rebuild the Brattleboro & Whitehall,
now a narrow gauge, IS miles long be-
tween Brattleboro and South London
derry, as a standard gauge road, The
Brattleboro & Whitehall officials will not
defend the foreclosure proceedings begun
by the New London and Northern road
against the Brattleboro 4 Whitehall com
pany, except to have provision for the
running OF the Brattleboro & Whitehall
In a satisfactory manner.
The Central Vermont will give the
Brattleboro q Whitehall company 100000

road may maintain its existence as an or
ganization. Il is expected that the change
will mean the extension OF the Brattleboro

Echoes Of the Roeers Case.

Gov. Bell has taken steps to secure the
prosecution OF some of the parties who
have sent him threatening letters in re-
gard TO the Rogers case. In many his
life was threatened, Others were scurril-
Gus and abusive. Most OF the letters were
anonymous, but several were signed.
The governor sent Atty.-Gen. Clarke c.
Fits 10 Boston to give aid to the state
authorities there ia the prosecution OF
these people. Many OF the letters came
from that city and vicinity. Gov. Bell
action is somewhat influenced by the
fact that he may have to undergo the
same siege sgain in a few months.
During the agitation for her reprieve,
Gov. Bell received a letter from Mrs.
Rogers herself that profoundly impressed
him. Ia this letter she fatty denied the
claim that she was reared under improper
conditions and had home training which
would stunt the moral development OF
the strongest willed person. Mrs. Rogers
wrote Gov. Bell that her home life had
not been one Of shame, and said in effect,
"lt had taken heed of mothers counsel
and advice / would not now be where
am" She concluded with a request to the
governor to exert his power as chief
executive and interfere in her behalf
The letter was neatly written, and the
thoughts therein were clothed in good
English. The governor was first of the
opinion that some OF her friends had
composed the letter and Mrs. Rogers had
signed il, but investigation proved the
entire letter 10 have been the work OF the
prisoner herself.
Two little lads Of Fairfield Center played
at hanging Mrs Rogers last week, using
a third little boy for the culprit They
put a rope around his neck tied one end
to beam and kicked the chair out from
under him. They became frightened at
his struggles and ran for help, which ar
rived just in time TO save HIM from

the Rutland county case OF State vs..

selling jamaica ginger constitutes a vio-

The court, however, directed a reply
to Gov. Bell, disclosing that the judges
were divided on the question and sug-
costing a legal process to determine the
matter. The reply was as follows:-.

whats the use, Mr.. Dixon, what's
the user"
One wants to ask the author Of The
CIansman" that after he has got out in
the cold, fresh air and forgotten some
of the terrible things he has witnessed
in the dramatic telling of the preacher
authors story. Now. thirty odd years
ago when white supremacy was In ac-
tual danger, when 1t had come back
into its own after brief reign Of ter
ror, THE Clansman" would have been
a great play and in helping the white
man II, would have rendered great SER
vice, but now---what's the use?
1t is a nerve-racking play-this tale
of the negro and the Ku Klux Khan.
One sees mere child with flowing hair
run or the stage and knows that she
has fallen into the hands of black
brute. Now that's very near the limit
of stage realism. A friend of Mr.. Dixon
writing The Clansman. It's worse
than audaeity. And ne preacher. too.
And again we see an educated negro
urging his suit on a refined and cul-
tured young woman. winding up
highly sensational scene by laying vio-
lent hands upon her, but, being inter-
rupted by her father, he announces that
it is his purpose to marry her because
his presence and the surroundings have
compromised her. This from a negro!
Oh. It was a thrilling performance.
One man during this scene got up and
In a hoarse whisper. which luckily was
not heard all over the house called out,
Shoot him! Hang him." The actors
may not know IL but they have cause
to congratulate themselves every night
when they get through the performance
without a riot. Perhaps q riot would
cause Mr.. Dixon to rub his hands. 1t
would be some more good advertising.
Now. In this play showing a brief
attempt at social equality by the negro.
the negroes in the gallery applauded
the triumphant utterance Of a negro
character and instantly balcony and
parquet replied with storm OF Kisses.
Again, later on. the negroes cheered,
and again there came the answering
storm OF Kisses. In time the negro gall
lery evidently came to the conclusion
that expressing their approval by APP
plauding was dangerous piece of bus
mess for in the closing hours of the
play they allowed the triumph of the
negro to pass unnoticed
One felt all the time that he was in
the neighborhood of fire and gun
powder. He expected some sort of out
break at any moment. There were
terrible nerve-racking scenes going on
there on the stage and a tense. electri-
cally charged atmosphere was out in
the audience. All in all the man who
went to see THE cansman," got as
many thrills out of 1t as half grown
boy gets out of a dime novel.
There isn't a night that this play is
put on in the South but that Austin
Webb gives a splendid exhibition of
courage. Mr.. Webb plays the negro
Lieutenant Governor of South Carolina
and he makes the figure of this mulatto
negro the dominant one on the stage.
He makes him forceful, powerful
criminal and repeIlant. Mr.. Webb Is
IN no danger. OF course. from a normal
man but some OF these days there Is

New York, Nov. S.--The Rev. Arthur
j. Brown, one of the secretaries OF the
Presbyterian Board Of Foreign Missions
in this city. sent the following cable
gram to the Rev. Henry v. Noyes Of
Canton. China. yesterday:
Have sincere coincidence OF this
board Canton and Machle In this deep
affliction, You have our hearty SYM
pathy and prayers. Cable cause and
details
The following reply was received to-
day:
Unrest Heath Festival--encroache
mission premises--E1ed Clave-~-Discov-,
cred, killed; bodies recovered"
DIR. Brown interprets the cabiegram
to mean that religious festival Of the
Chinese brought together q great crowd
or people and developed much excite
iment and perhaps anti-foreign feeling;
that lawless characters took advantage
of the unrest and the mobs swept over
the mission premises. Doctor Brown
thinks the word "Ciave" should be
Cave"
Doctor Brown said today: 80 far
as we can judge from the dispatch
from the South China Morning Post, the
Chinese authorities have taken prompt
action. for two Chinese gunboats are
said to have started up the river from
Canton with three missionaries on
board, the Rev. Henry ". Noyes. the
Rev. Andrew Beattie and DR.. Paul

Hong Kong, Nov. s.-Bishop MereI,

letter confirming the news OF the mas
sacre OF American missionaries at
Lienchow. and giving the following
particulars:
DR.. Machle requested the removal of
a street theatre near the hospital on
account of the noise. This request in
censed the Chinese, who becoming vio-
lent, attacked the hospital The mob
then paraded the street, exhibiting the
skeleton used in the instruction of the
medical class and alleging that 1t was
an example of the foreigners inhuman-
fty to the Chinese people.
Becoming frenzied. the crowd burned
the hospital the girls school. and the
residence Of the missionaries.
DR.. Machie. Mrs. Machle. their To-
year-old daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Pearle,
DR.. Chestnut and Miss Patterson took
refuge In a cave. The mob pursued
them and killed all except DR.. Machle

BLANKENBURG is DISCHARGED
Philadelphia RefOrmer Who Was
CHARGED with CrimnaI Libel.

Charged Win CFhnnnnl LIBEL
Philadelphia, Nov. 3-Rudolph Blank
enburg, nominee for City Commission
err on the Reform ticket In this city.
who was given a hearing yesterday on
the charge of criminal libel preferred
by Felix Isman, real estate broker, was
discharged from custody today by Mag
istrate Eisenbrown.
In deciding the case the magistrate
said that the statements complained
of were made orally by Mr.. Blanken-
burg and not written or printed by
him; therefore under the law on which
the charges were brought, the defen-
dant's statements do not constitute
libel.
The case was one of the features
of the closing hours of the great po-
litical campaign in progress In this
city, and attracted much attention.
The suit grew out of a speech made
by Mr.. Blankenburg. in which he said
that the Mint Realty Company, of
which Mr.. Isman is the head. did not
pay any taxes on the site of the old
United tSates Mint. which the compa-
ny purchased for &2,000,000, and that:
the exemption of the taxes was due to
political influence.

The invasion Ia taken to show the i'm
piicit faith which has been placed In
the reports OF the marine hospital SER
vice and the assurance of DIR. White
that there is no longer any danger in
visiting New Orleans. The successful
trip of the President to New Orleans
seems also to have had it's effect in
convincing the country that the epi-
demic OF the present year Is now en-
tirely thing of the past. Virtually
the whole OF Louisiana Is now open to
people leaving New Orleans. The re-
