THOMAS M. cuLLIoN DEAD
Native of This Town Died in Colorado
Springs Tuesday.

Word has been received here of the
death in Colorado Springs, Colo, of
Thomas NJ. Cullion a native of this
town who resided here for several
years. Death was due to consumption
from which the deceased had been a
sufferer for long time. He went to
Colorado about is months ago, think
ing the dry climate of the Rocky noun
tains would be beneficial for his
health. During the past several weeks
he had been in a critical condition
and his death, though expected, is
mourned by large number of his
friends and acquaintance in this
town.
Besides his wife he leaves one
brother, d. j. Cullion of this town. He
was a son of the late Mr.. and Mrs
Daniel Cullion and was born here AZ
ears ago. He was a skilled machinist
by trade.
Mr.. Cullion was a man of high char
acter and unquestioned integrity The
news of his sad and untimly death
coming as it did after a long hard
fought struggle for health is received
here with the utmost sorrow.
1t is expected that the remains will
arrive here Friday. In this case the
funeral will probably be held Satur-
day morning.

SULTAN
Had Been in 0bsCurity for Over
80 Years
WAS ALMOST A PRISONER
Elder Brother Did Not Relax Close
Guardianship Until Constitution
Was Granted

London, April 2S.-Mehmed Rechad
Effendi, who is now on the Turkish
throne as Mehmed ", from the day of
Abdul Hands accession To the
throne i'm 1876 to the revival of the
Constitution, had been practical
prisoner, shut off from all intercourse
with any except a few servants and de
pendents OF the palace in which he
lived He was surrounded by spies,
and it was dangerous for any Turkish
subject to be seen within a hundred
yards of it.
Whenever the unfortunate heir APP
parent drove out his carriage was fol-
lowed by mounted men, who had or
ders to report the name and demeanor
of every one whom. the carriage
passed. The places where he was
likely to be met were avoided almost
as though plague stricken. When by
chance his carriage came in sight by
ISLANDERS averted their gaze No one
dared to salute him.
His servants were tracked almost as
pitilessly. To exchange a word with
one of them was a dangerous piece of
temerity. Even to enter a shop at
which they were known to have dealt
was to be denounced on a charge of
trying TO establish reasonable rela-
tons with Rechad.
Mehmed V. of Turkey was born Nov
3. 1874 He was heir presumptive to
the throne. according to the Mussul-
man law, as the eldest member of the
resigning family except the Sultan.
Because of the close surveillance kept
over him by the Sultan's spies, he is
little known as man.
With the grant of the Constitution
last July the rigor of his life was
greatly modified. The Sultan came
out of his strict seclusion. and was
compelled to appear to permit the
heir TO the throne TO have freedom.
The Sultan's spy system was Grip
pied, and he was not so closely
watched. With the overthrow of the
Young Turks he was again subjected
to the old system. With the advance
of the Young Turks on Constantinople
came reports that Sultan Abdul
Hamid was holding him as a hostage,
and there were fears that he would be
put out of the way. The Young Turks
however, are understood to have given
warning that any violence to him
would be followed by swift punishment
of the guilty persons. With the sur
render of the Yildiz Kiosk, Rechad
was delivered out of the Sutan's
power, and the Constitutional army
furnished ample protection against
any plot against him
Four years ago Rechad was report
ed as dying from cancer of the throat,
but he recovered from this illness.

S|OO LICENSE FOR
MOVING PICTURE
THEATRES
Trustees Take Action in Special
Meeting
ESTABLISH OTHER LICENSES
Fee of Wholesale Liquor Dealers Out
side the State Reduced From
$50 to So.

The trustees held a special meeting
Tuesday evening for the purpose of
taking action upon the licenses for
which provision was made at the spec
ial village meeting held some weeks
ago. The liquor licenses were first
considered and one change was made.
The wholesalers license which was
established at 800 at the last spec
ial meeting was amended so as to read
So instead of $50. The change was
made for the reason that wholesale
dealers from out the state already
pay license of $500 for the privilege
of doing business in Vermont. The
licenses as finally fixed will be as fol-
lows:
First class. 5000; second class, $500;
third class, 800; fourth class, SO;
fifth class, So; sixth class, to be fixed
length of time in force; seventh class,
500.
Some time was taken in the discus
sion of the other local licenses which
were fixed as follows.
All moving picture shows, 500 a
year.
Merry-gorounds and small shows,
81 day
ltinerant peddlars, So a year.
ltinerant peddlars with horse and
wagon. $40 year.
Street fakrs, s. a day
Meat and fish peddlars, Sl5 year.
Peddars of food suffs and proyis-
ions, $40 year.
Circuses, including wild west and
dog shows, $50

Jewelry, clothing and furniture ped
dlars. S25 year.
The blanks will be ready for issue
May at which time the licenses go
into effect.
All members of the board, President
Martin and States Attorney Meagher
were III attendance.
There was considerable discussion
over the license for moving picture
shows but the trustees we're OF the
opinion that it would be impossible to
make any classification of these en-
tertainments'a and fixed the license at
Sl00 for all;

ed in the county jail and as a conse-
quence it is held that Miller at the
present time is a state prisoner and
that the state should be held for any
expense that should arise while he is
under sentence.
When Sheriff Godfrey became aware
that Millers condition was such that
the jail was no longer the proper place
for the prisoner, he called the atten-
ton of the fact to Overseer George X.
Mathers. The overseer laid the mat
ter before the town agent, o. NJ. Bar
Der, who brought up the complication
of the case in its relation to the new
statute
States Attorney w. J. Meagher is
in Rutland today to discuss another
matter with the attorney general and
it is likely that he will call the atten-
ton of the state official to the Miller
case.
