MONTPELIER VOTE SLICED.
There Is Very Noticeable Falling OFF
Over Four Years Ago.

Up to this noon only ss4 votes had
been cast in Montpelier, against 9l0 at
the same time four years ago when pres
idential electors were chosen. This indl.
yates that tremendous slice will be
cut out of Montpelier's total ballot. Bad
weather and no particular interest in the
election are given as the reason for the
falling-of. The party managers are
making no effort to get out the voters.

BEAVERS COMING BACK.
Two Colonies OF the Dam Builders ut Wori
In Pennsylvania


EoUISuNK, Pa. Aug. 1.-The discovery
was recently made that a family OF beavers
had colonized on the waters OF Crooked
Creek. a few miles from this village in the
upper Delaware Valley. The beavers are
now busily engaged in the construction of a
dam on the creek. having first cleared away
the underbrush and saplings from both
sides Of the creek as far up stream as the
still water OF the dam Ia evidently intended
by them to rise.
They have laid a foundation Of stone for
the dam on the bottom Of the creek, and are
at work telling trees. %chopping them into
desirable lengths and floating them down
stream for use in making the lam. Trees
ten inches in diameter have been cut down
by these little creatures.
BENJAMIN Vandermark. above whose
clearing on the creek the beavers are at
work. has brought in chips from the tree
telling. These could not have been cut
more smoothly by a woodman with the
kesnest axe.
Beavers were once abundant along the
tributaries Of the Delaware. but the last of
them d~isappeaIed many years ag9. Remains
Of the st reams. Where this family that
is colonizing in the long abandoned region
came from Is a mystery.
Another beaver family Is reported as hav
ing preempted a home section on a white
oak timber tract in Monroe county. 100
miles down the valley from here. Although
no beavers have been known to exist in Penn
sylvania for two generations past, there Ia q

Gifts are being received from all parts
Of the world by the Roman committee
which will present to Pope Plus x. on the
occasion Of - celebration Of his jubilee
a great gold CUP in the name Of the Catholic
youth Of the entire world. The presenta-
ton will be made on September II and the
Pope will use the cup on the day when he
will celebrate a special jubilee mass for the
benefit Of the givers.
The donations for the cup have already
reached the sum OF 5000 lire and for the
jubilee mass over 10000 lire. Young Catho-
lies in China alone have contributed more
than 5000 lire for the purpose.
The committee is organizing special
oongratulatory pilgrimages TO Rome from
all European centres. and these will be re-
ceived by the Holy Father. A specia
mission will arrive In September from the
province Of Venice, the Popeis native
country, which will hand over a jubilee
present in the shape Of an exquisitely carved
throne.
