President Greene called to order and
at his request Mr.. Hubbard introduced
the guest of the association, Mr. Sher-
man, who was spoken of as the foremost
newspaperman Brattleboro had produced.
His career was briefly reviewed and he
was referred to as the managing editor
who was unfolding the traditions and
principles, the standards and ideals OF
one OF the ablest newspapers in America,
the Hartford, Conn, Courant, with which
such names as Charles Dudley Warner.
Gen. Joseph r. Hawley, Stephen A. Hub
bard and Charles Hopkins Clark had been
intimately associated.
Mr.. Shermans address was a strong,
clean cut statement, in which he discuss
ed the essential qualifications OF news
paper worker, the value of the training
to the individual, and the possibilities
which the field offers to him. In closing
he said:
There is dignity and honor in having
a part in the production of a newspaper
Of character and ability and both pro-
prietors and employees increase their in
fluence by refusing to accept gratuities
or graft from government or corporation.
But after all is said newspaper is a
business proposition and although charac-
ter is an asset OF inestimabe value a
paper must possess other qualities to be-
come a power. man OF fine character

adequate mechanical department and
must adopt improved devices as they

alert business management and, above
all, that great artery OF its life. its news
department, must be enterprising and
energetic. And its news articles must
be written and displayed with skill and
spirit. II 1t is to have an adequate cir

methods fails of being a newspaper, what
ever else 1t may be. Better that faith

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Winchester Man Shot Himself Under
Peculiar Conditions.


Joe Newton, who is known in this Sec
ton as a painter and who, during the
summer has been stopping with Frank
Sprague in Richmond, attempted to kill
himself Sunday. Some young men called
at Sprague's house and were looking over
a small rifle when Newton asked to see
the gun. After looking at it for a minute
he asked to see one of the cartridges that
went into it and, after getting possession
of the gun and bullet, he stepped to one
side, put the cartridge into the rifle and
shot himself through the breast; he then
dropped the gun, babe his friends goodby
and went to his room, expecting to die.
Two physicians were summoned and
found that it was a small % calibre
bullet and had entered his breast two
inches above the heart.
Newton's only regret is that 1t did not
kill him and he begs for a knife to finish
the job. as it was his intention to end his
life. A doctor was with him all day yes
terday but just how serious his condition
is we do not know. Winchester Star.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Gold, silver
and bills amounting to more than $780,

home of Firman Dubel, who died re-
Gently at Burlington, N. j. For years
Dubel had lived as a recluse, denying
that he had any wealth other than his
home and the spacious grounds that
surrounded it. 1t is now estimated
by the relatives that his estate will
amount to between 100000 and $780,

which there was countless rubbish,
there was $170O and a cigar box held
$25O0 in gold. A thin book contained
between thirty eight consecutive
leaves thirty-eight S1OO bills. Old
clothing in various trunks and closets
had been used as receptacles for money.
Dubel received "a large estate from
his ancestors, to whom, before the
revolution, enormous grants of land
were made by the English crown and
later by the state of New Jersey.
Search among old papers after the
death of the recluse brought to light
scores of mortgages upon property of
residents of the town and county for

For years Dubel had lived on fare

He had no faith in banks and invested
