His father once owned the fiume in the
White mountains, but considered the
property worthless, and after his strange
disappearance, young Maplesden sold it
for $50.
Afterward seeking fortune, nearing
Boston, he owned large farm on the
site of the present Waverley, Mass, and
distributed milk through Cambridge
and Boston.
Among his customers were Prof
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow of llar,

still acute, has pleasant recollections OF
the great poet, and of Joseph Worcester
the compiler of Worcester's dictionary
who was an uncle of Mrs. Maplesden.
Mr.. Maplesden has written severa
poems, many of which have been pub

Mr.. Maplesden's struggle for an edu

work caused long sickness. After re

Vermont Company To Go Be-
fore Armstrong Commission
TO SHOW UP ITS METHODS
President Joseph A. DeBoer Announces
That He Will Go on the Stand
Believed Result Will Be Fav-
orable to Company.

Montpelier, Nov. 29.-The National
Life Insurance company of this city has
been summoned to appear before the
Armstrong commission in New York,
which is now conducting q sweeping
investigation of the life insurance COM
panies, and be subjected to an examina-
ton. This summons is made to the
National Life company in common with
all other companies which are doing
business in the state of New York. Ac-
cording TO the general belief the Ma
tional company has nothing to fear from
the investigation and that on the con-
trary it will gain by the showing up
OF its methods.
President Joseph A. DeBoer viii go
before the commission and be subjected
to the rigid examination He stated to-
day that recently his company had been
called upon by the Armstrong commits
sion to prepare written data concerning
the methods, expenses and extent Of
the National company. Clerks were put
to work at once. and the report is now
nearly completed. This request and the
summons is taken to be no reflection
on the company, but simply because Of
its operation in New York it comes
under the scrutiny Of the commission.
This company has recently passed
through two rigid examinations. A
Minnesota official was sent here some
time ago, and he conducted thorough
examination. The result was that the
prestige of the company was enhanced.
Since that time the Vermont insurance
commissioners have gone over the busi-
ness Of the company with great thor
oughness, and the report OF this board
was also favorable to the company.

When Told Of the Decision of the Su'
preme Court.


Windsor, Nov. 20. Attorney General
e, G. Fits. States Attorney Charles
BatcheTder aiid Sheriff fI III Peek were
in consultation yesterday with Super
intendent Lowell at the state prison
regarding the execution OF Mary Rogers
on December s. The nature of their con-
ference was not made public. Regarding
ahe question OF whose custody Mrs. Rog-
ers is in at this time, Attorney General
Fits said that as soon as he received
the telegram announcing the decision of
the supreme court she became state
prisoner, but no official notice was giv-
en- them by federal officers. While the
officials named above were in conference,
Il. Il. Finn OF Springfield came to the
prison and asked to be permitted to see
Mrs Rogers. He had private paper
for her to sign He then told her Of
the decision Of the court against her.
Mrs. Rogers when she heard the news
broke down and cried violently. Mr..
Finn then told her that there was one
more possibility she might be saved from
the gallows, and she replied: Where
there IS life theree is hope. You may
try it, Mr.. Finn would not make pub.
lie what course he contemplated, but
said as soon as the full text Of the
decision was received he would hold a
conference with Butler s. MoIoney, Mr..
Mccarthy OF Hoosick Falls, N. ~, and
three or four prominent Vermont law
yers who have interested themselves
in the case when it would be decided
whether any further steps could be
taken.

Business Men Met Last Night to Effect
an Organization.


Burlington, Nov. 29.-The first step
towards the organization of chamber
of commerce or board of trade occurred
at the gathering of business men in
Y. NJ G. A. rooms last evening when a
committee was appointed to draft by
laws and nominate permanent officers
for the organization. The meeting was
a large and an enthusiastic one and no
doubt was expressed as to the necessity
and usefulness of organized effort on the
part OF the business men. The keynote
of the meeting was the frequent expires
sion of the need of having a paid Sec
retary for the organization.
The members of the committee,
Messrs. Southwick, Smith, Mccormick,
Hall, Greene, Burke and Van Patten and
Secretary AIcAfahon met Immediately
after the adjournment of the citizens
meeting. The various lines of operation
were suggested and discussed and it at
once became evident that the question
of hiring a secretary would hinge upon
the financial basis OF the membership to
be adopted. While detinited decision in
the matter was not reached the prevail
ing sentiment seemed to be that there
might be three grades Of membership:
The first to include Wholesale and job
bing houses, the second to include retail
merchants and the third, professional
men and others not included in the first
two. 1t was suggested that the Standard
membership fees be $50 for first class,
$40 for second class and $5 for third
class. Before deciding on this financial
basis of membership the committee will

HEAVY BLOWS AIMED
AT FOOT BALL
Columbia University Votes to Abolish
the Game Until Such Time as the
Method Of Playing Is
Modified.

New York, Nov. 20. Columbia uni.
yersty has abolished the game OF foot
ball, as at present played, as one Of
the sports in which students of the
university will be permitted to engage.
This action was taken at meeting
OF the Columbia university committee
on student organizations held last night,
at which this preamble and resolutions
were adopted;
The action of this committee is final.
The students are not permitted to play
without the consent Of the committee
and II they do 80 they render themselves
liable to expulsion.
Professor Lord said, after the meeting
OF the committee:
''The reasons for this action need no
explanation. They must be present to
the mind Of every one acquainted with
the game as now played. Only by sucn
radical action can the university and
college life be rid OF an obsession which
il il believed has become as burdensome
to the great mass Of students as it
has proved itself harmful to academic
standing and dangerous to human life.
