Emperors of Japan and Russia Have
Signed Declaration of Peace.
At three o'clock Sunday afternoon
Spencer Eddy, the American charge
d'affaires at st. Petersburg officially in
formed the foreign Office that the
Emperor of Japan ratified the Russo
japanese peace treaty Saturday.
The French minister at Toxic, at the
same hour informed the japanese
government that Emperor Nicholas had
signed the treaty.
As graceful mark of appreciation of
the part he took in bringing about the
conference at Portsmouth and the
resultant peace President Roosevelt
was the first person to be notified by
the Russian government that Emperor
Nicholas had ratified the treaty, as
soon as the Emperors signature had
been affixed to the instrument.
The government took no steps to make
known to the people of Russia the fact
that the Emperor had signed the treaty
before the receipt of the official Motif
cation that the instrument had been
ratified by the signature of the Emperor
of Japan and the first news therefore was
communicated through The Associated
Press despatch from Washington.

According to the United States Geo

"The Stone Industry in 1904" the state
of Vermont still leads the country in the
production of marble and has advanced
from third to second place in the pro-
duction of granite. The increase in the
output of marble is shown by the follow
ing figures: In 1900, So, 4S4, 852; in 1901,

year Vermont lead the nearest states in
marble production by wide margin the
next nearest having only about half a
million.
In granite production Vermont steps
ahead of Maine, which in 1908 held
second place. The granite output is still
considerably behind the older marble
industry, the total in 1904 having been

Automobiles Would Not Stop.

The Brattleboro Phoenix quotes from
the Bellows Falls Times the following
news item, showing just how much
regard automobilists have for the law:
An automobile accident occurred near
the Searles place on the road between
here and Charlestown Sunday evening.
Mr.. Ownes, who lives on the Minis farm
near Charlestown, with a friend from
Wilmington were leading three colts be-
hind their team when an auto with no
lights came up behind them from the
direction of Charlestown. The colts and
horse took fright as the auto struck the
side of the team and created quite a
disturbance, throwing both men out and
injuring them quite badly. The auto,
however, kept right on without stopping.
The men noticed that the lamp on the
left side was broken, and so they hurried
TO Bellows Falls and notified Chief of
Police a. III. Thompson. Chief Thomp-
son, thinking it might have been local
machine, made Investigations but none
of the automobiles here had a broken
lamp. Ownes telephoned to the Keene
authorities the next morning telling
them of the accident, and giving a de-
scription of the machine. CITY Mes.
senger Emmons of Keene remembered
having seen an auto of such description
coming down Court street about 8 o'clock
Sunday evening. From Keene the ma
chine is thought to have continued on
its way without making more than q
very short stop in the city. No trace
of them has been found since. The
men, though badly hurt, were able tc
proceed on their way to Wilmington
with the colts.

Adams unsolicited, or unprovided for.
But it will come in profitable abundance

With the natural resources which st.
