the fact that the policy OF the Hyde
Park Savings Bank of Investing its

dustries OF the State as we'll. 1t says:
The Lamolle County Savings Bank
and Trust Co. of Hyde Park, Vt, passed
its million dollar mark of assets July H..
Every cent of this banks holdings is in-
vested ia Vermont, record not paral-
leled in the state aud record seldom
found throughout the country. The
president of this bank is Carroll ). Page,
who has made worldwide name IN
/ the success of his calfskin business. Mr..
! Page is believer in Vermont aud her
/ industries, aud has demonstrated III ms
! management of this bank that Vermont
! investments are safe aud good dividend
PAYERS. The million dollars of this
| banking circulation in Vermont is a
great help in fostering the industries OF
the state. Ii every Vermont banking
institution would seek more home in
vestments much more could he done to
further the industrial progress OF the
state, aud at the same time furnish a
safe and profitable investment for the
banking house, Vermont needs more
men of the Carroll 5. Page type.

worthy as he was six years ago, just as
good "a egsator-better, in fact. That
he has broadened and developed is also
true. And yet now, for the first time,

OUR GUNNERs GOOD AS ANY.
Recent Practice on British ship Re
calls American Performances.

Neutrality-suspicious. several years the
navy department has not regarded 1t
as good policy to acquaint foreign ma
lions with the performances of the
American naval gunners. 1t was felt
that the publication of a good record
made by our men would only serve to
stimulate the gunners of other ma
tions to better their own perform
ances.
But the publication recently of the
fact that during target practice on the
British channel feet in the presence
of King Edward one gun made nine
teen hits In twenty-one shots, thereby
earning a decoration from the king,
has naturally touched the pride of
some of the American naval officers,
but they find no reason to fear COM
Rarison with the gunners of any other
navy.
Taking some of the six inch guns
In the Atlantic feet, one gunner on
the armored cruiser Maryland made
eleven shots and eleven hits In one
minute. A gun on the battleship Ohio
was fired with perfect score at the
rate Of 1881 minute. A six inch gun
on the battleship Maine has record
of a perfect score at the rate of 1041
a minute, and the battleship Missouris
best record was 1890 shots a minute
each lodged in target.
But in the way of small guns these
six inch records become insignificant
A three FOUNDER ON the battleship Vir
ginia made 20 shots and hits in rs sec
onds, and another gun made 10 shots
and 10 hits in 22k seconds, a remark
able average of 1857 shots and hits q
minute.

HUSBAND SELECTS SUCCESSOR.
Wearing Widows Weeds, obedlent
Relief Again Becomes a Bride.

Philadelphia a deathbed
promise to her husband, nine months
ago, that she would marry his chum,
Mrs. Maria Di Cicco, % years old, of
South Sixth street, has become the
wife of Antonio Di Mattio, in the home
In which her former husband died
The late husband of Mrs. Di Cicco
and Di Mattio were playmates in
Naples, and one day the latter saved
Di Cicco from drowning in the bay
ID Cicco never forgot the brave deed,
and even after coming to this country
and marrying he kept up correspond
ence with his boyhood chum When
Di Mattio came to this city Dl Cioco
insisted that he make his home with
himself and wife.
Then Di Cieco contracted tubercu-
losis, and although everything was
done to save his life, he rapidly wasted
away. When he saw that death was
near he called his young wife and Di
Mattio to his bedside and made them
promise to wed each other at the ex-
piration of nine months after his
death. They agreed and Di Cicco
died happy.
The bride was attired in the black
dress which she wore at her husbands
funeral, and despite the occasion, re-
Taxed none of the literal or figurative
mourning, which she has expressed
continually for Di Cicco since his
death. She makes no pretense of low
ing her new husband, but frankly
states that she is simply fulfilling her
former companions wishes. Di Mat
ito, on the other hand, states that he
has always loved his new wife
