Although adopted only a few years ago the
entire quick-hring field artillery of Germany
has been condemned, and it is to be replaced
by field guns similar to those used by the
Japanese In the selection of a family med

without success, Not so, however, with those

were Mrs Nellie Fassett, Miss Rena o.
Brien, Mrs S. NJ. Folsom, Mrs. Clinton
Hatch, Mrs. George E. Welch, Mrs. Fred
Perry and Misses Jessie Ryder and Jessie
Judd. During the evening music was

for some years. She was assisted by
Misses Jackson, Frizzel Hart and Mrs.
Mason, and a number of violin obligatos
were rendered by Miss Hannah Wych

The Vermont Idea.
[st. Adams Messenger. I

Governor Bell is helping to spread
abroad the idea that Vermont is a good
place to stay in and live in. That idea
should eventually begin to prevail against
the current impression carried by the
generations OF men that have gone out of
the state to success and fortune else
where that Vermont was a good place to
emigrate from. II everybody in the state
would talk Vermont" on every proper
occasion, public or private the world out
side would begin to know more about the
resources of this commonwealth and the
desirability Of making homes here. One
Of the Oldest Of the sisters in the Union,
this state and its possibilities are among
the least known by the people of the
country generally. 1t is our own fault II
we are caricatured and cartooned when
we have such treasures that we never
know.

SCHEME TO AID IMMIGRANTS
Steamship Companies May BE Guilty
of Violating Laws of
United States.


WASHINGTON, Nov. IA novel scheme
has been brought to the attention of the
immigration authorities to induce immigra-
ton from foreign countries to the United
States Thus far the plan is known to be
in operation only in Italy, but 1t probably
will be extended TO other European coun-
tries. Two companies. known respectively
as "Unione Meridionalie" and la Ligure
Americana" have been organized to issue
to prospective immigrants policies of in
surance that they will be landed on ar
rival in America. The premium charged
for each policy is 81. the companies guar
anteeing to refund the immigrants trans
portation charge in the event of his de-
portation from this country. A number Of
steamship lines are represented as the
sponsors for the insurance companies. The
matter has been investigated by the law
officers of the immigration bureau and an
opinion has been rendered that the scheme
is in violation of express legislative prohi-
bition. II is held that under the law steam
ship companies may not offer anything in
the way of inducement to encourage immi-
grafton to the United States. What action
may be taken by the government authori-
ties has not yet been determined.

OF the Hanover bank OF New York City
and secretary Of the American Bankers
association, who was seriously injured, In
a fist fight with another midshipman died
today The midshipman was operated on
yesterday by DR.. J. NJ. Finney OF the
Johns Hopkins hospital. his skull being
opened and a clot OF blood removed, and
there was hope OF bis recovery. but he
suddenly grew worse today and expired
Midshipman Branch died from injuries
he had received in a fight with Midship-
man Minor Meriweather. jr., OF Lafayette,
Ill. The fight took place by arrangement
on Sunday night and was regular
pitched battle with ring and seconds.
It lasted twenty-three rounds and ended
when Branch was knocked down and struck
the right side Of his head against the
floor
It was not considered that the injuries
were very serious. but Monday morning
Branch's condition was such that It be-
came necessary to let his condition be
known to the authorities Young Branch
was taken to the hospital and an opera
ton was determined upon. It was per-
formed last night by Surgeons Finney OF
Baltimore and Kerr of Washington, as
sisted by the academy medical stan. 1t
was thought to be successful. but turn
for the worse took place at daylight this
morning and the patient died at 10 O'Clock,
not having regained consciousness. His
father and mother were with him at his
death.
Meriweather is. also in the hospital as
a result of the injuries he received in the
fight and for that reason the authorities
have not put him under arrest. The ques-
ton of his accountability to the civil au-
thorities on a charge of manslaughter has
also been discussed. He is suffering with
a sprained wrist and a bruised face.
Branch was second class man and
Meriweather a third but the latter is
slightly older. being 10 years of age last
January, while Branch was not 10 until
August. Both have some reputation as
athletes, Branch as a wrestler and Meri-
weather as a foot ball player. 1t is I'M
derstood the fight took place because
Branch had, in the line of his duty, re-
ported Meriweather for a breach of dis
cipline. No one is allowed to see the
latter. but It is reported that he feels the
matter most keenly.
