Vermont, Thrifty and IncorrUPtibIe--
A Model State.

New England Magazine for Septem-
Der.
Mr.. Putnam tests our modesty
rather severely by the abundance
and richness of luis praise; yet it is
not for The Age to say that all he
gives us is not well deserved.
Our fathers, it appears, lived on
the highway of war where severe ex-
periences brought out the best that
was in them, bravery, the spirit Of
liberty and hospitality. In the.days
of its entire independence as a State
Vermont acquired certain sturdy
confidence and self helpfulness
which it has never lost. These are
pleasant things to have others say
about us, and they may stand as
measurably true. Certainly Vermont
of early days bowed the knee neither
to the overlords of New Hampshire,
who wished to rule the land they had
helped to settle, nor to the avaric-
ious New Workers, who claimed
every good land that lay next to their
own. If Vermonters today bear a
yoke of servitude, the yoke, Mr.. Put
nam assures us, is but garland OF
flowers, so to speak, the gift Of an
Easy Boss.
Mr.. Putnam's article can be tabu-
lated in part and the result is an in
teresting array of virtues, resources
and products.

litical Ring Rule, but is

The lists are not complete, but
they cover the main points touched
by Mr.. Putnam. Perhaps the author
saw little too much of the Proctors
while he was studying the State.
He quite insists that our ring rule
is not the real thing, but only looks
it, and he doesn't note that our in
telligent and Independent yeomanry
have bowed to the same idols for
over fifty years
But the article is well worth read
ing. 1t should be in every home in
the State 1t will properly inspire
many of our citizens and harm none.

cided that on application by next friend OF

large gathering assembled at the Nine
teenth Street Baptist Church yesterday
consisting of the membership of that church
and Of the Berean Baptist Church. The oc-
casion was a reunion of the two churches,
the former extending the hand OF fellowship
to the latter after an estrangement of
thirty years. Seated in the pulpit were Dr.
Walter H. Brooks, DR.. D. F. Rivers Dr.
]. M. Waldron and Revs. Scott and White.
The program carried out was as follows
Music by the Berean choir, under the lead
ership of DR.. Ward; invocation by DR.. Wal
dron, who some years ago was pastor of
Berean; welcoming address by Lawrence
Clark, the author of the resolution on be-

Church; the extending of the hand of fell
lowship by Rev. Walter II. Brooks of the

pastor and members of the Berean; re-
Spouse by Rev. Rivers, pastor Of Berean.
When the formal ceremonies were con-
cluded those members of the Berean who
had withdrawn from the Nineteenth street
thirty years ago were given the hand Of fell
lowship by officers of the Nineteenth Street
Church, and a general Misunderstanding and
fraternal intermingling of the members Of
the two churches ensued. 1t was also a
reunion of families, since many of the men,
bers of one church have near relatives in
the other.
These reunion exercises will be concluded
in the Berean Baptist Church next Sunday,
June 80 when the members of the Nine
teenth Street Church will assemble there

TRAIN PASSENGERS ROBBED
VALISES AND CLOTHING RIFLED
OF MONEY.
Losers Were Asleep in Pullman Car.
Local Police Cooperating in
Search for Thieves.

More than a dozen persons who were
passengers on the Pullman car Bothma
discovered, when they reached this city at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning, that they
had been robbed while they were sleeping.
Only four of them, however reported their
losses to the police. They were Charles A.
McDermott. Col. Flippen of the Washington
barracks, William Lewis. colored, porter
on the train, and T. s. MuIlgan.
The work of the crooks was disclosed
when one of the passengers reached for an
article of wearing apparel about $3.50
o clock and found it had disappeared from
where he had left it before retiring Satur-
day night He called for the porter and an
investigation started. 1t was soon
learned that the thieves who had committed
the robberies had taken articles of wear
ing apparel. suit cases and Valises to the
lavatory and emptied them of what cash
they contained. Col. Flppen was the
heaviest loser. $40 having been distracted
from his clothing. The colored porter lost
SO and Mr.. McDermott contributed $15 to
the fund. Mr.. Mulligan gave up five cents
only.
Police Notified.
AS soon the passengers reached the
city they notified the police of the sixth
precinct of their losses. Later Inspector
Boardman detailed Detectives Helan, Grant
and McNamee to make an investigation.
1t is reasonably certain that the robberies
were not committed in this jurisdiction,
and that the sleuths in the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will be
gwen chance to display their ability in
locating the thieves. Passengers became
angry. naturally, when they learned of
their losses. but all they could do was to
complain TO the police.
1t was apparent that the thieves avoided
risk of discovery. They made effort to
search beneath the pillows of the passengers
where valuab!es are frequently placed, but
took> away what they could without dis
taken. and this fact means that the de-
tectives will have trouble in discovering the
guilty parties. Mr.. McDermott found that
his suit case had been slashed with a knife,
but he felt grateful to the robbers for not
having taken his watch and about $500 in
also taken the precaution to guard against
loss, and his contribution to the fund was
consequently small.
Belief of the Detectives.
Members of the crew of the train were
questioned by the detectives, but they were
unable to throw any light upon the robbery
1t is thought by the detectives the train
was within a short distance of Baltimore
when the visit was paid, and that the
crooks left the train at that city. All they
had to do was to gather the garments and
suit cases as they passed through the car
and then weed" them in the lavatory.
The complaints made by the four losers
were recorded at police headquarters, and
the local police will DO all they can to find
the guilty persons. Messages have been
sent to the police of other cities asking
their assistance in the case.
