THE COMMITTEES REPORT.

"Aftcr considerable correspondence
and personal interviews with repre-
sentatives of the Rutland Railroad
company and the Central Vermont
Railway company for the purpose of
procuring Il suitable location for IA pub
lie wharf, we We're unable to arrive
at Il satisfactory agreement with said
companies. Your committee decided
that we would take advantage of the
enabling act and procure a suitable 10 =
cation by tho right of eminent domain
We then referred the matter to City
Attorney j. A. Brown and after care
fully considering said act he replies
that he finds the same deficient. We
then considered the frontage at the
foot of Maple street. known as the slip
and after very careful invcstiEa tion
as to ownership we find and are salts
fled that the city has vested right
that cannot be disputed. We Therefore
recommend that Il suitable public wharf
be built as soon as possible at this
place.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

The opinion of Attorney Brown on the
legality of the enabling act was in part
as follows:
THE act in question is manifestly deli
cicnt and unconstitutional. % Because no
tribunal is therein provided Ia determine
whether there is any public necessity for
the taking Of private property and how
much shall be taken. CO Because there Is no
provision for compensation 10 the owner
OF such property for such taking except
that amy person owning or Interested IN
Lands taken for the purpose speclhed III
| this act, by the right OF eminent DOMAIN
may appeal from the acts of SAID city III
so taking such land in the same manner
AS is provided in sections }3l4 J3lo, '@l0 ana
33i1 of the Vermont statutes.
Under the provisions of this act tho
property owner must resort Ia tn" county
court by appeal proceedings To determine
the public necessity for deSpollng nm
of his property and the amount OF COM
pcnsation to which he is entitled.
\ statute so drawn the supreme court
OF Vermont has held to he unconstitu'
| tional.

Railway Rate Legislation.

At the biennial convention Of the Or.
der OF Railway Conductors. recently
held ut Portland. Ore, resolutions were
unanimously adopted voicing their sen.
timents rs TO the effect Of proposed
railway rate legislation on the 1900.
600 railroad employees. whom they In
past represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt In condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities. and commend the
attitude OF the heads OF American rail-
ways, who. with practical unanimity,
have joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out TO Congress the ''inadvisabill.
ty OF legislation vesting In the hands
OF commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far In the United
States than In any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result In
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend 10 an enforced reduction In rates,
irrespective OF the question OF the abil.
ity Of the railroads 10 stand the reduc-
AASas tEHtNAabl VIC" VI kut
cost Of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given 10 the present Inter
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation Is not In harmony
with our idea OF American jurispru-
dence. inasmuch as II contemplates
that n single body shall have the right
20 investigate. indlct. try. condemn and
then enforce its decisions ut the cost
OF the carriers. pending appeal. which
Is manifestly inequltable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, IL any. rs
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights 10 all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost OF transportation lis the
result Of the efficiency OF American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
yelopment OF territory. while nj the
same time recognition has been given
10 the value OF intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast TO foreign methods,
where high freight rates aud lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests. they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates OF this country average only 2
per cent OF the cost of articles to the
consumer. thus making the freight rate
so insignificant a factor In the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold ut the same price In all parts
OF the country" Adv.

MADE NO SHOES FOR REes.
Irish Soldier From Massachusetts Re.
fused, Thouqh Prisoner Of War.

Boston Globe: A white haired,
elderly man stood In Doris hall at the
state house the other day intently gag
ing at the battle flags OF the Massa-
chusetis regiments that fought TO pre-
serve the union from 1861 to 1866. He
fingered long and seemed TO be greatly
interested in the torn and tattered
standards. A visitor noticed the man,
and. stepping up TO HIM. said;
You appear To be Interested In
those fags?"
Il think ! have n right TO be. SIR"
replied the old gentleman. That flag"
said he, pointing TO the shot-riddled
colors OF the 18th regiment, was cap
tured from me in front OF Petersburg
by the rebels June %, 1854. Thirty
years afterward, by an act OF congress.
IL was returned 10 the state. and had
the honor OF delivering IL 10 the gov
ernor OF the commonwealth"
That's remarkable" said the visitor,
and the two fell TO talking about the
stirring days OF the war, and the Diff
ferent engagements that the 18th regl-
ment participated In. The color bearer
was Sergeant Michael Scannel, Of
Lynn, who. although seventy-eight
years old. is hale and hearty, and IL
known by every Grand Army man In
Essex county. Little by little SCannell
was induced TO tell the story Of the
capture OF the colors at Petersburg.
We were brigaded with the 42d
New York and the 18th Massachu-
setts," said Sergeant Scannell. and We
were ordered To advance. There was
evidently some mistake. az when We
moved out IL left a gap that Gen. Ma
hone was quick 10 see and take ad-
vantage Of Without any idea OF the
perilous position We occupied We NOV

quicker than IL takes to say Jack
Robinson the rebs swooped down up

capture. IL was all up with us, and
there was nothing to do but surrender
A rebel officer rode up TO me and. with
q long oath, demanded the colorr. Give
me those colors, you yankee blankety

Il looked at him coolly and. straight
ening myself up, said: STR. ] have

years, and you are the nrst man to
call me a yankee. Take the colors.
You're welcome TO them"
Scannell. with the rest OF the regi
ment. was hustled OF TO Andersonville,
and spent nearly twelve months In
rebel prisons, suffering untold misery.
One day while at Andersonville rebel
officer came through shouting the name
OF Sergeant Scannell.
That's me-" replied Scannell. He
was ordered TO make shoes for the
rebs, as he had been a shoemaker at
Haverhill before the war.
Never" said Scannell: never"
The rebel officer argued with him
and told him that he would get better
food and treatment IL he went into
the shoe shop, and that he would have
chance 10 recover from the scurvy
that had attacked him. But Scannell
was frm. Never" was the reply.
DO you think that | am going TO 20
back on the flag OF my adopted Coun-
try, and make shoes for rebs? Not
while I have my senses about me"

Color Of Whisky and It's Age.

London World: A query about
Scotch whisky In, does color indicate
age? Theoretically II should: actually
IL does not. whisky is stored In cherry
casks 10 mature and takes color from
the wood. Sherry. however. covers a
wide range OF shades. and n spirit
stored In cask which had
held n pale variety would obviously
not be colored 10 the same extent as n
spirit stored for like time In n cask
that had previously held a dark brown
wine. though as regards maturing both
would be equally improved. The gen
eral public, however. could never be
made TO understand that two bottles OF
whisky differing in color were abso-
lutely Identical In every essential
point. and therefore most brands main
tain a standard OF color by means OF n
harmless coloring ingredient, namely,
burned sugar.

average OF 600 letters n day and re-

The Indian agency performs many OF

some OF which he handles twice. This
does not include money paid out for
salaries o. running expenses or the
agency. but merely the funds which
are intrusted TO him arising from tribal
revenues.
Mr.. Wisdom estimates that the
agency ut Muskogee handles az much
business an all the other Indian
agencies In the United States combin-
ed. IL handles the finances Of Ave OF
the most powerful and highly civilized
OF Indian tribes. some OF which are
immensely wealthy and none OF them
lacking revenues.
In the choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tons the common funds OF the two
tribes receive big revenues from the
conl and asphalt lands. IN well as from
the oil and gas fields. These revenues
arise largely from leases and royalties.
They are placed In the hands OF the
Indian agent TO 20 into the educational
funds OF the two nations. Vast sums
Of money also fiow into the Golfers OF
the choctaw and Chickasaw nations
from the sale OF town sites and town
lots. This year nearly 100000 has
been placed 10 the credit OF the Indian
agent TO be paid per capita 10 the citi-
Gems OF the two nations. A large ad-
ditional sum will be placed TO the
credit OF these nations from the sale
OF segregated coal lands. which will be
distributed by the Indian agent.
Tie heaviest revenues In the Creek
nation come from interest on bonds
representing loans 10 different states
and paying 4 and 8 per cent. interest
annually. The nation receives si25,-
900 interest annually on these bonds.
The revenues from mineral royalties
and the cattle tax In the Creek and
Cherokee nations pass through the
hands OF the Indian agent. but instead
OF being placed to the credit Of the
nations collectively. the money Is paid
out TO individual citizens.
A continual stream OF money orders

chased by individuals after the town
