Wen known Invalid Fencing Master Found
Dead In His Tent at Old Forge.

OLD FORCE. N. Y. Aug. is.--Frederick
Wilson Arniltsge, well kno-n fencing
master of New York who came to the Full
ton Chain Of Lakes In January last for his
health, was found dead in his camp yes
terday morning by one Of his friends. When
he first came here he put up at Hess Camp,
a resort at the head OF Fourth Lake.
About three months ago the was told by his
ply sician to make a change and he estab-
lished camp on the north shore Of what
is known as the Pond" at Old Forge and
lived there alone.
Mr.. Armitage was one Of the best known
Of the visitors to the lakes He had friends
all the way from Indian Head to Old Forge
and apparently nothing gave him grea ter
satisfaction than making other people
happy. II was his custom to 60 about jok-
ing and entertaining not only invalids
like himself, but well people who came
here for a good time. In spite Of his knowi-
edge of the nature OF his malady he never
told anv one Of his condition.
hecentlv MIR. Armitage appeared TO be
happ ier than ever. On Sunday ne arranged
TO take arty in launch from Old Forge
10 the head Of Fourth Lake. He looked
to every detail Of the trip and spoke Of it
as the haoE lest day Of his life. When he
returned he was in his usual good spirits
and gave no indication that death was near.
He retired to his camp at midnight after
mapping out the plans for the arty he had
joined FOR the coming week.
1t was his custom to arise at an early
hour and take his breakfast at the Forge
House. When he had not apr cared at
0 o'clock one of his friends went to the tent
and found him dead on the bed. He was
lying on his side as though asleep. He had
evidently died of an attack OF heart disease
shortly after reaching the camp.
In his pocketbook was found note saying
that II anything hapEened , ats 70 him Jennie N
York, should be notified. Armitage was
% years old and from what could be learned
Of his family history hero he had three
aunts in New York who looked out for his
welfare. He seemed TO have plenty Of
money and was lavish In his exp enditures
upon others. His body will be inferred at

Cary, the recognized authority on maple
sugar. He thinks the printed report that
5000. 600 trees have been tapped in Yer
mont is correct and says returns will
show the biggest yield in IA years. The
average to-day is three pounds to a tree
there will be more runs of sap. Tho
crop seems to be rather uneven as re-
ports come of large averages in some
sections where the total production is
Very limited and would not amount to
much in the general average. In large
producing sections of the State farmers
estimates range from Ia pounds to three
pounds to the tree. Largest crop In re-
cent years was in 1893 when the average
yield was about three pounds to the tree.
The largest crop since then was in 1904
when the yield was ga pounds. In 1905
It was only two pounds while in 1906 an
unusually poor year, the average was liz
pounds to the tree.
The crop in Ohio is about half Of last
years production and in Pennsylvania it
IS very light. New York state has had
very good season while Canada bids fair
to produce one of her record breaking
crops No prices have yet been establish
ed on the sugar and none will be made
until the end Of the season. On account
Of the pure food laws the demand for
maple sugar is large.

Montpelier. April 2l.-The Hon. Zed S.
Stanton of Roxbury will probably be q
candidate for governor in 1905. For some
weeks considerable pressure has been
brought to bear on Mr. Stanton to induce
him to announce himself as a candidate,
but thus far he has remained silent on
the subject Yesterday Mr.. Stanton abso-
lutely refused to make any statement or
to be interviewed on the subject
The friends of this prospective candidate
insist that lie will make a strong candi-
date in the smaller towns of this and other
counties and that his strength In Barre
and this city is greater than appears on
the surface.
The sponsors of this gubernatorial boom
assert that they will run Mr.. Stanton as
a bona flde candidate and will do their
utmost to land him in the office. They
point to his record of nearly % years of
faithful public service as the best possible
appeal to the voters to place him IN the
executive chair of the State,
That Stanton will be up for nomination
against Lieut.-Gov G. II. Prouty and A
