A Strong Savings Institution.

The strength of a Savings Bank de.
ponds not alone on the size of its
deposits nor the number of its depositors.
1t depends rather upon the kind OF
securities in which the management
invest their funds and the care with
which these securities are looked after.
The Dandy Mirror evidently thinks these
conditions are we'll met in the Hyde
Park Savings Bank. 1t says:
Beginning July LIST, the Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park, VT, will pay four per cent.
interest on deposits remaining in its care
tor year or more. This is particular
ly strong savings institution, and dur
ing its existence has invested the money
OF its depositors wholly in the state and
has never lost dollar. Hon. Carroll S.
Page, one Of the most able business men
IN Vermont and the states honored ex-
Governor, is president of the bank-the
kind OF president who knows at all
times how the affairs of the bank are be-
ing conducted, and is ever active in pro-
noting its interests and protecting its
depositors against possible loss.
This bank pays 4 per cent compounded
semi-annually, on deposits of$1OO or
more, remaining in the bank one full year.

Grand Army Camp Fire.

Chamberlin Post. No. /, G. A. r., held
camp fire Thursday night and enter
tanned some of the officers of the state
encampment. Chamberlin Relief Corps
served an excellent supper and at 100
the meeting was called to order with
Charles P. Carpenter as chairman of the
gathering. Dept. Commander Brown of
Montpelier was the first and principal
speaker. Col. Brown spoke of the pension
legislation and how much of it had been
accomplished by the influence of the
Grand Army; praised the. Woman's Re-
lief Corps for their faithful work, and
urged that the Sons of Veterans be given
hearty support. Junior Vice Command
er Cady of Middebury expressed his
pleasure of being at the camp fire and
Mrs. Sarah F. Hovey, the president-elect
of the Chamberlin Relief Corps, spoke
for that order. Col L. NJ. McAlister of
Waitsfeld, chief of staff under Col.
Brown and a member of the same COM
pany in the civil war with c. P. Car
penter, said he could not make a speech,
but made the excellent suggestion that
every soldier write out his war expert
ences for the the benefit of his family and
posterity. Judge j. T. Gleason of Lyn-
donville spoke briefly on the immigra-
ton problem and Arthur F. Stones re-
marks were along patriotic lines. Music
was furnished during the evening by
John H. Moore and Hugh Mackinnon,
the former giving clarinet solo and the
after piano solo.

Getting Together.

A few nights ago the business men OF
Brattleboro, to the number of rs, got
together and talked over the welfare OF
that enterprising community, and Fri
day night so of the men of Bradford
met at Hotel Low for the first annual
banquet of the Bradford Brotherhood.
AT the postprandial exercises various
speakers told what could be accom-
plished in Bradford along FIVE lines
social, literary, devotional, benevolent
and civic improvement. At both of
these gatherings there was a friendly
spirit manifested that will make better
Brattleboro and better Bradford.
Every community is hindered in its
progress by factions, prejudice, and the
circulation of reports, all of which tend
to pull down rather than upbuild, and
the habit of getting together" as
evidenced by the public meeting at the
Stanley Opera House last week Tuesday
evening, should be encouraged by every
citizen, irrespective of party or creed.
When community gets the get to-
gether' habit, reforms can be easier
accomplished, and then each man can
look his neighbor in the face and say
with St. Paul that he is a citizen of no
mean city"

DR.. Hale'S Christmas Message.

christmas is not done with at mid
night on the twenty-ffth of December,
1907, writes Edward Everett Hale, in
his editorial page in the Christmas
Woman's Home Companion. I'm the
older language of the older Christianity,
for people who spoke English, the
Christmas lasted twelve days. Indeed,
l think the legends. about the birth of the
baby said that after the Wise Men had
seen in the east His star they
Travelled twelve days or twelve
nights, until on the twelfth night they
came to the sanity stable and unloaded
their camels. | like, as one year ends
and another year begins, to notify
those around me that stupid Labor. the
lifting and toiling of daily life, is sus-
pended for awhile, and that for the next
year energetic Work, the triumph of the
soul over mind and matter, is to begin.
like to have special remembrance of
the Christ-mass every day: The children's
celebration on Christmas morning: the
service at church as the day goes by:
some Christmas party of the old folks in
the evening; the oratorio of the Messiah
at least on both the SUNDAYS: the
Christmas tree for the Sunday school
and one for the Settlement House and
one for the Union and one for the Assc-
citation and one for the Industrial School.
and so on until you come to Twelfth
Night, with its ring or its bean in the
cake, and perhaps good round dance
or Virginia reel before Twelfth Night is
over"

The Herald'S Attack Harmless.

Taking as its text some remarks made
at the dedication of the Pittsford San
atorium, the munificent gift of Senator
Proctor, the Rutland Herald, the per-
sonal organ Of Percival w. Clement, at
tacks the generosity of our senior
senator. The strange part of the whole
plot is that neither Mr.. Clement nor his
cohorts seem to realize that such an at
tempt to be smart and funny at the ex-
pense of much-loved neighbor, citizen
and public official must foul their own
nest. Too many Vermonters know, and
have read like an open book, the career
OF Senator Proctor and Mr.. Clement to
be fooled by the Herald's attempt to be
vindictive or smart at the expense OF
such a man as Redfeld Proctor. Mr..
Clement might as well attempt to tunnel
old. Mt Pico with pea shooter.
President Roosevelt has again an
nounced that he will not be a candidate
for reelection and now the presidential
race may be said to have fairly begun.
Secretary Taft is today in the lead and
is the best equipped of any of the candi-
dates for the position, while Gov. Hughes
may be fairly said to be second in the
running if he can carry the New York
delegation. Fairbanks, Cannon, Knox,
LaFollette are favorite sons from their
respective states, while Secretary Cor
telyou and Senator Crane are among
those mentioned" 1t will be a great
contest with Secretary TAFT against the
field. good many things may happen
between December and June, but we
venture the opinion that if Mr.. Taft
doesn't land the nominationit will 90 to
dark horse whose name may not have
been mentioned. That is lust what
happened when Garfield was nominated
and history may repeat itself.

ST. J. A. LOSES AT STANsrEAD.

Friday, the 18th, proved an unlucky
day for the Academy basket ball team,
as after hard ride across the border,
they were treated to new style of play
by heavier team on strange floor and
dropped the second game of the season
to the Stanstead school boys by the
score of 80 to IS.
The game was practically won in the
first period, as the Canadians run up
score OF 20 to St. Johnsbury's +. In the
last period the Academy team took a
brace and showed their opponents what
they could do in the hnstling line, and
scored IA points against Stanstead's 10.
Fee and W. Owens were high rollers for
Stanstead, with baskets each, while
Moore led his team in goals shot.

Friday Night.

Company D won over Portsmouth il
an exhibition game at Barton last Tues
day evening by the score of so to % and
repeated the performance at the armory
the next night, defeating the visitors, 7e
to 81.
The Wednesday night game drew a
good house and there was excitement
enough to keep the crowd interested al
though Gray's colts outplayed Ports
mouth at every stage of the game. The
game was started by Follansbee shoot
ing the first basket and for few minutes
it looked like record breaking affair,
but with the score 6 to 6, few in
structions from the side lines and hint
or two, in the unmistakable voice of
Manager Gray, as to what was liable to
happen if St. Johnsbury didn't wake up,
served to start them into their keep
moving pace, and that was plainly the
beginning of the end for the peace city"
quntette. Some sensational shooting
by 'Dutchy" Henschel and Pat DOYLE,
two baskets by Schock and one by
Matthews brought the score up to 20,
while the visitors ended the period with
s to their credit.
The second period developed into a
"shoot-fest," with Matthews, Doyle and
Ahern doing the honors Matthews led
with six baskets, all beautiful shots from
different angles. Before the end of this !
period the visitors were beginning to
show the effects of the killing pace and it
was evident that Company D had them
at their mercy. Score 46 to 20.
Conlon booked rest for the last period
and Follansbee was sent in to hold
Doyle, while Sparrow Stocker replaced
Sam at left forward But even this
shake up was insufficient to stem the
tide of battle and st, Johnsbury added
30 points to their already large total
while the Portsmouth bunch saw their
score slowl v mounted from the skiddoo
mark to 81, when the welcome whistle
saved them from the count Henschels
wonderful shooting in this period kept
the crowd on their feet and made the
visiting bunch dizzy Doyle Gagged four
and Matthews three, while Schock and
contributed one each. And
speaking of individual work mention
should be made of Follansbee, who
played one of the fastest games seen on
he local floor this season, and the floor
work and shooting of Ahern, which was
't the highest order. The summary:

D. s. PLUME DEAD.
We'll Known Manufacturer Died at
 His Home To-day.

David Scott Plume, treasurer of the Plume & Atwood Manufacturing Co, and one of the foremost citizens of the town, died this afternoon at his home, 5S Johnson street. The de- ceased was i'll for the past three weeks.
 David Scott Plume, son of David and Aurelia Plume, was born in New Haven on August 22, 1929. He was member of Lovelrs Lancasterian school and after the removal of the family in 1885 to Newark, N. J., at tended a private school in that city When 15 years of age he entered the office of a manufacturer of brass goods in Newark to learn the busi- ness, and filled all the usual positions of those times from boy up. In 1852 he began business for himself, estab- fishing a manufactory in Newark and a store in New York city. In this way he became acquainted with the brass manufacturers of Connecticut and was thus led to purchase an interest in the Thomas Manufacturing company. In 1886 he took charge of the busi- ness of the concern and removed to Thomaston with his family. The company was subsequently, merged in the Plume & Atwood Manufactur- ing company and branch of the bus mess was established in Waterbury. In 1873 Mir Plume removed to this city and resided here since. He was general manager of the Plume & At wood Manufacturing company and had held the office of treasurer since its formation. He represented the town in the legislature of 1877 and 1879, has served four years as al- derman and filled many other re- sponsible positions. He was also president of the Fourth National bank and a director of the Water bury hospital.
 On October 16. 1885, he married Abby Cornelia Richardson, of New ark. Their children were Frank Cam eron, David Nichols and Emily. wife of ex-Governor John Gary Evans of North Carolina.
 The deceased leaves one son. Frank, and Mrs Evans, mentioned above. His wife died about four years ago. Mir Plume. in an effort to regain his health, went south at Christmas time, but the trip was of very little benefit and he had been ailing since that time.

HEARD IN TOXIC
Text of President ROOSevelt'S Bill Causes Much Disatis-
 faction in Japan
LEADERS ACQUESCE

Tokio, Feb 19.--The official text of President Roosevelt's amendment of the exclusion bill has been published.
 AS expected, 1t has created the strongest dissatisfaction among the interested parties although the move ments of procedure have not yet as- sumed definite shape.
 The Japanese residents of the Ha- waiian islands have telegraphed President Roosevelt and their repre- sentatives in the house indicating the seriousness of the injury which will be caused to their rights and interests by this legislation. The leaders of opinion here are aware however, that under the circumstances the only al- ternative is to calmly resign them- selves to the situation, hoping that the government can arrange with the American authorities to reduce the sacrifice in the interest of Japanese emigrants to a minimum
 They regret the new law lest the San Francisco people glorying in their success should assume an overbear- ing attitude.
 News of this kind would only tend in injure Japanese susceptibilities, which President Roosevelt has been especially careful to avoid.

Victims of LarchmoRt Disaster Washed Ashore at No Mans
 Land Tc.Day
WORE PRESERVERS

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Feb 10.- Two more bodies of victims of the Larchmont disaster were brought here to-day by Captain Caloon and crew of the Gay Head life saving station from the island of No Mans Land, where they had been washed ashore. On memorandum book found in the clothing on one of the bodies, that of a. man of middle age. was written the address w. J. Wightman, Lebanon, N. r." The other body was that of a man about 30 years of age, dressed in long black overcoat with dark striped trousers. On the third finger of the left hand was plain gold ring. Both men were fairly well dressed and on each body was life preserver.
 The Gay Head crew left for No Mans Land early yesterday morning in their life boat, after having re- ceived word that body had been washed ashore there. Their trip was a perilous one, because of the heavy gale, high seas and sn0wstorm. When they failed to return to their station last night much anxiety was felt. Volunteers were preparing to start out in search of them to-day when the life boat was sighted returning. Cap tain Cahoon stated today that his row to the island was so dangerous that he decided to remain there all night. Meantime a second body was washed ashore.

STORM DID IT
Moved Stranded Vessel That Wrecking Fleet Worked
 Over For Weeks
BUFFETED BY WAVES


 Chatham, Mass, Feb 19.-After the combined efforts of the wrecking fleet of the Boston Tow Boat company and the United States revenue cutters had failed to move the stranded Clyde line steamer Onondaga appreciably from her bed of sand in which she has lain for several weeks, it was discovered to-day that yesterdays storm with the high seas during the night had moved the big craft 25O yards into the best position she has been In since strand- ing. The breakers rolled in very heavily last night and continued to break high on the beach this morning. The Onondaga was lifted over the sand bar that has defied the strength and ingenuity of the salvagers and the vessel has been worked westward along the beach. Her stern is pointed towards the sea, and unless another storm comes up to shift the steamer again the wreckers will have a good chance of floating her when the sea goes down. During the forenoon it was much too rough for any tugs to venture near the beach.

Kuropatkin's War Dispatches Are the Sensation of Inc
 Moment in St Petersburg
KAULBARS IS ANGRY
And Fight Between Him and Kuro- patkin is Anticipated They Are Trying to Turn inc Emperor
 Against the Latter.

St Petersburg. Feb 19.-The pubs lication abroad of General Kuropat- kin's history of the Russo-Japanese war has caused great sensation here. The dispatches on the subject were suppressed, but long accounts. received by mail, are printed in all the newspapers. The generals strictures have evoked much resent ment in military circles and have re- vived the talk of the possibility of a duel between General Kaulbars and General Kuropatkin A strong ef- fort is being made to undermine the latter in the emperor's favor and prevent his nomination as viceroy of the Caucasus, which it is reported has been decided upon.
