A Million Dollars in Assets

There is usually some good
reason for abnormal grow tn
IN any business and it is so
with Savings Banks. The
North Troy Palladium seems
to think it has discovered the
secret of the large growth of
the Lamoille County Savings
Bank and Trust Company.

The Hyde PAX savings bank reached q
notable point in its history July II. when for
the hrst time the assets of the institution
reached the million mark. The master miud
IA the affairs ofthe bank is that OF its presi-
dent. Carroll 5. Page. and to that far-sighted
policy and liberal treatment that so mark
eddy eharsoterizes all his business aud fnau-

fight, if there was one, is ended.
p H. Coney who has held the place
for two terms an honor which has never
been conferred on one of his predeces-
sors for the past twenty years, was con-
sidered a candidate though he had de-
clared that he was not. 1t was conceded
that he would accept it if it was offered
to him unanimously and the friends of
Mr.. Campbell feared that a movement
of this kind would encompass his de-
feat
The opposition to Coney for COM
mander was not so much against him
as against the custom of giving the
place to a man for a second or third
term. There is strong sentiment
among the old soldiers that the place
should be passed around giving more
of them a chance at the honor.
r. A. Campbell who was selected as
successor of p. H. Coney as commander
was senior vice commander and natural
ly succeeded to the place accorded him
this morning though there have been
numerous exceptions to the rule. He
was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, 65
years ago and entered the army May g.

PUT AWAY GUNS.
Strike Breakers in San Francisco Have
Disarmed.

San Francisco. May 9.-The local sit
uation involved by industrial troubles
and particularly by the strike of the
employees of the United Railways which
has already led to serious rioting looks
more assuring. The police showed to-
day that they are fully competent TO
cope with the mob of strikers and their
sympat thizers and it does not appear
VIII have to be invoked. The successes
which attended the efferts of the Uni
ted Railways to run cars yesterday will
result in an endeavor to operate cars
over the principal lines of the system
today and if there Is no recurrence Of
the rioting which attended the previous
enortS of the company there will be ar
attempt made to re-establish the ser
vice over the netire system. A strong
force of police escorted the two cars
run out yesterday on the Nineteenth
avenue line and any opposition en-
countered was speedily. suppressed by
a vigorous use of clubs and arrests
followed all attempts at violence by
hurting bricks and other missiles and.
the police plainly showed themselves
masters of the situation. Last night
in its history and most of the principal
streets were absolutely deserted. In
the vicinity of the car barns police
patrol was maintained all night, but
no attempts of any kind to disturb the
peace were reported. The railway Off
cials now have every confidence in the
intentions of the municipal authorities
to maintain their promise to keep peace
and order, and on their part, the nom
union men running the cars have
been disarmed. This understanding will
be maintained from this time forward
so long as the police continue to afford
protection for their lines and the COM
panyS property.
A detachment of 40 men arrived last
night and proceeded to the barns.
The general retail business of the
city is badly affected by the strike.

Wilmot was the instrument he en-
plOyed to put the coal industry into
condition for Reorganization" He
bought control of one of the coal rail-
roads and made Wilmot president of
it. Wilmot, taught by twenty years
of his service, knew what was expect
ed of him, and proceeded to do it. He
put in loyal general freight agent
who also needed no instructions, but
busted himself st destroying his own
and all the other coal roads by sys-
tenn of secret rebates and rate cut
tings. As the other roads, one by one,
descended toward bankruptcy, Roe
buck bought the comparatively small
control of them. When he had power
over enough of them to establish
partial monopoly of transportation in
and out of the coal districts, he was
ready for his lieutenant to attack the
mining properties. Probably his or
ders TO Wilmot were nothing more
definite or less innocent than: will
mot, my boy, don't you think you and
I and some others of our friends ought
to buy some of those mines, if they
come on the market at a fair price?

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea Of the Sound 60 Be
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently
passed away, was universally respect-
ed by all who knew him, and his,
stories were listened to with much de-
light, says writer In the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the fol,owtne
with great deal of interest:
When a very small boy he asked his.
father to let him go with him to the.
town meeting. He went. with the.
promise that when ne returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax on every property
holder. Whatever OF interest came up
@or the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and hin.
voice not strong, an article in tho
town warrant called for the removal
OF the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex.
tinguisher. and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
Mr.. Flagg got up and said, In his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator. I
make a motion that we remove the
sound from under the board"

value. But at the time-and for
long time afterward-I did not know,
on nay honor did not suspect, what was
the cause, the sole cause, of the
change of the coal region from a place
of peaceful industry, content with fair
profits, to an industrial chaos with
ruin impending.
Once the railways and mining COM
panies were all on the verge of bank
ruptcy, Roebuck and his friends"
were ready to buy, here control for

the reorganizing stage. The processes
of high finance are very simple-first,
buy the comparatively small holdings
necessary to create confusion and dis
aster; second, create confusion and
disaster, buying up more and more
wreckage; third, reorganizc; fourth,
offer the new stocks and bonds to the
public with mighty blare of trum-
pets which produces a boom market;
fifth, unload on the public, pass divi-
dends, issue unfavorable statements,
depress prices, buy back cheap what
you have sold dear. Repeat ad in

laughter of the strong, and the public
is an eager ass. To keep up the fic-

though it is also in excuse, that if
had known him intimately few years
earlier, should have found it all but
impossible to fool myself For he
had not long been in a position where
he could keep wholly detached from
the crimes he committed for his ben

could disclaim responsibility and even

Judges on Their DAINTY.

The ceremony of the United States
supreme court judges marching from
their robing room across the corridor
which occurs at high noon every week
day while the court is holding session,
is always a matter of interest to the
average visitor at the capitol. Every
.day there is small crowd waiting TO
see the stately procession. The other
day Justice Moody, as the youngest
member of the august body, brought
up the rear. A flicker of smile ap-
peared on his face as he noted the
Dlack-robed figures ahead OF him, but
1t passed away instantly and he be-
came as solemn and grave as the
others.
