Burgoyne cast a covetous eye, on the
supplies and stores gathered from the
fertile fields, and to secure which
for his hungry m~ercenaries he sent
out az army early in August, TIT,
under Col. Baum, composed chiefly of
Germans with a scattering Of British.
Walking up the steep mile incline
to Bennington Center, you can see the
site of the Catamount tavern, head
quarters for the Council of Safety"
which constituted the organized gov
eminent of Vermont (now marked by
a powerful statue) where Gen. John
Stark sulked over his disappointment
at not receiving the deserved briga-
diership in the continental army
from which he, in wrath, resigned his
colonelcy to assume command of the
New Hampshire militia. Though a
breach of discipline, it was lucky for
the Americans that Gen. Stark had
not conformed to Lincoln's orders to
join the main army against Burgoyne.
for he was, through this fortuitous
chance, on the very spot where he was
needed to repulse the detachment un-
der Col. Baum, and it was in this
very tavern named, so tradition has
it, from the daring animals who
prowled fearlessly in it's vicinity and

stole from it's larders, that the plans
for the defense of Bennington were
drawn up.
Cannot your fancy paint for you
that sweltering mid-August day when
the arrogant Germans, respondent in
their gay uniforms, marched with
wel-trained military precision up
toward the eminence where the Yer
mont troops were quartered, and
where the battle monument now
stands, to be repulsed twice during
the day and have their own guns
seized and turned against them un-
til 1000 fell and 600 Germans and
British were captured by a small bri-
gade of raw militia, unfinished and
untutored, but empowered to deeds of
heroic magnitude by the mighty love
of country?
The monument concentrating the
stirring conflict is the highest battle
monument in the world, measuring
308 feet. 1t is an artistic monolith,
built of magnetism limestone, and
was erected between 1857 and 1891.
From the top, reached by a winding
staircase of seemingly interminable
length, it commands a magnificent
view of the surrounding country and
mountains.

ROSE REELECTED MAYOR
RESULT OF SPECIAL ELECTION
IN KANSAS CITY, KAS.
The Question Of His Eligibility to
the ONCE Will BE Tested In
the Supreme Court.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 9.-William
w. Rose, democrat, who resigned the
office of mayor Of Kansas City, Kas.,
recently, pending state custer proceed
lngs against him for non-enforcement
Of certain laws, and who was later
ousted by the supreme court, which
disregarded his resignation, was re-
elected mayor by 1900 plurality over
e. E. Venard, republican, and David
Harris, socialist, at a special election
Tuesday.
The issue Of the election was the en-
forcement of the prohibition and anti
gambling laws. Rose was supported
by the element which believes that the
best interest of the city demand the IL
censing of joints and gambling halls,
as they maintain that a strict enforce
ment of the law against such places de-
prives the city Of its necessary e v
enue. E. E. Venard, who has been act
ing mayor since Rose resigned, was
supported by the temperance people.
The socialist vote was light. Many
women voted, and most of them sup
ported Venard.
The question Of Roses right to hold
the office of mayor will now be tested.
The supreme court held that it's action
in ousting Rose rendered him ineligible
to be a candidate for Office again at
this time.

SAD TRAGEDY IN NEW YORK !
MRS. MARY q. WALTERS KILLS
HER DAUGHTER AND SELF.
Temporary Insanity the Only Rea-

Terrible Tragedy.

New York, May 8.-Mrs. Mary G.
Walter, wife Of John r. Walter. bank
er. insurance man, member of mer-
chants exchange, and a member OF
many clubs, killed her daughter,
Agatha, 20 years old, and herself at 2
o'clock at the Waters nome, LA West
Sev~enty-sixth street, early Monday
morning, using her husbands revolver.
There were three daughters in the
family, Ruth, Agatha and Grace.
Agatha occupied a room on the second
floor, as did>Mr. and Mrs. Waters.
Mrs. Waters rose from ner bed when
the others Of the family were slumber-
ing, entered her daughters room and
killed her as she lay asleep.
The shot aroused the household. Mr..
Waters sprang from his bed just in
time to see the white-robed figure Of
his wife glide into the hall. He ran
toward her, thinking burglars had been
discovered In the house.
Before Mr.. Waters could reach the
door leading into the hall he was
startled by a second shot, followed by
a scream and the fall of a body. It
was Mrs. Waters ending her own life
with the revolver.
Mrs. Waters was so years old. Her
maiden name was Mary Griswold. So
far as the police could learn she had
been in good health for some time past.
Only temporary insanity could be ad-
vanced in explanation Of her act

AS EFFECTIVE AS RAPIER
Umbrella Capable Of Infaicting Pain
full Injuries and Has Been
Cause Of Death.

A year ago a duel with umbrellas was
fought in Paris outside the Gaite-Mont-
in the Rue de la Gate between
CASTOR de Faux and Hughes Lebon.
The quarrel began in the neighboring
concert hall, and would have been set
tied, as the French say, "at another time
and in another manner" had not the
contestants been armed with steel-rod
umbrellas, which they proceeded to
manipulate in the fashion of rapiers.
with the result that M. Lebon was con-
veyed to the hospital minus several
front teeth and with a torn ear, while
his opponent crept home nursing a pune
tured cheek.
A more fatal umbrella duel has just
furnished a sensational case for the
criminal court of Liege. Dr.. Sury OF
Spa, in a fit of anger, insulted DR.. Del
haise of Liege while the latter was
peacefully reading a paper in a cafe.
Enraged by Delhaise's calmness, DR..
Sury threatened him with his umbrella.
Delhaise, while attempting to rise, par
ried the blow with his own, umbrella,
whereupon DR.. Sury lunged forward and
the steel rod of his umbrella entered his
opponents head through the eye to a
depth of three inches. DR.. Delhaise died
subsequently. The court condemned
DR.. Sury to IS months in prison and to
pay $4,000 damages to the widow of
the deceased.

BOILED EGG OF ENGLAND.
Athletic Triumph Achieved by Col
lege Men Who Trained on
Hen Fruit.

Far more than a mere athlethic trf-
umph was Cambridge's victory recent
ly. 1t was the demonstration of a
great scientific principle that bids fair
to subvert the %gustatory traditions OF
a nation. Other crews have won on
form or fortune; it remained for the
Light Blue crew of 1906 to Owe their
laurels to the common farm yard egg,
says the New York Times.
On eggs they were trained-raw
Eggs, poached eggs, eggs boiled soft
and eggs as hard as rocks, scrambled
eggs, fried eggs, eggs beaten up in
milk, and eggs turned into omelets.
Every esource of the culinary artist
was called into requisition, and in the
strength of those eggs they rowed Ok
ford to a standstlll.
When first people heard that every
cantab polished off four eggs for break
fast they laughed; when they were
told that five dozen eggs were con-
sumed by the crew each day they
sneered; but one or two sensational
performances in practice made them
sit up and take notice.
Then the historians of the turf de-
clared that to eggs Birmingham owed
in 1880 his victory in the st. Leger
over Priam, the Derby winner, and the
scientists came forward with uncanny
calculations of how much albumen,
proteids, and other things that people
eat without knowing it an egg con-
tains. The London restaurants began
to feel the change. No n would take
his breakfast. his luncheon, or his
dinner without an egg, and egg f1ips.
eggnogg and every other drink with
an egg to its nam became the rage.
The country was secured in all d.
rections for eggs. From Brittany.
Denmark, and other countries came
eggs in countless thousands. But still
the demand is increasing, and with the
victory of Cambridge it is confidently
expected that THE Boiled Egg of Old
England" is come to stay.

TO FINANCE new
SAN FRANCISCO

New York. May 8.-A number of
American multimillionaifes were rep
resented at a meeting, Monday, at
which preliminary plans were made
to form a gigantic company for the
rebuilding of San Francisco. Among
those at the meeting were: Senator
Francis Newlands, of Nevada; Prest-
dent H. S. Black of the United States
Realty and Construction Co; Thomas
A. MCGEE of the San Francisco relief
fund finance committee, and Frank
lin X. Lane, of San Francisco. Sena-
tor Newlands and Frank A. Vanderlip,
of the National City bank, represented
the Rockefeller interests.
According to the tentative pro-
gramme, at least $780, 900, 900 will be
subscribed by hackers of the colossal
undertaking. AS Senator Newlands
and his San Francisco conferees ad-
mitted, however, the acutal sum in
volved may reach $35O,000, 900 or
$500, 600, 900 before a new San Francis
