EAST CRAFTSBUkY.

The older people in this corner of
Orleans county will remember Mrs.
Alexander Shields, whose maiden name
was Jane Calderwood. She was born
in Fenwick, Scotland, February 3, 1918
and after long journey of more than
81 years she died in Ryegate, this
state, June Is, 1909. Her home was
in Peacham, near Barnet but she was
visiting her daughter Jennie when,
after only few weeks the end came.
When she was five years old her father
and family left their home in Scotland
and made new home in Galway,
N. Y. The family grew until there
were seven sons and three daughters.
Of these Jane was the fourth. Only
one, James of West Galway. N. Y,
survives Mrs. Shields. From early
life she formed the habits of industry
and usefulness, which she continued
to follow all her life. After she was
81 years of age she did good sewing
On the evening of June 9, 1847,
gowned in white and wearing a wreath
of hawthorn blossoms gathered from
plants brought from the old home in
Scotland, she was married to
Alexander Shields and came by canal
boat, ferry and stage to his home in
Glover on the farm now owned by his
nephew, Alex Shields. Here "a years
were spent. She looked we'll to the
ways of her household, she stretched
out her hand to the poor and gave of
her own clothing to the widow and the
needy, she took the orphan to hel
home and clothed and fed him and
watched many night by the bedside
of the sick. Her household wore
clothes of her own spinning anC
weaving and making and to her gooc
husband she was a helpmate. This
active, helpful energy continued lone
after the home was changed in 1871 t.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-The great white
w United States capitol building is
sort of central magnet of great pow
er which attracts many queer people
from all sections of this broad land.
Capt. J. p. Megrew, union war vet
eran with a splendid record, is in
command of the capitol police force,
and the peculiar people who flock to
the big building come under his OBJ
servation.
Away back in the '70s, before Capt.
Megrew became chief of the capitol
police, the tragedy of the dome" oc-
Cured. A young Catholic priest, who
had become demented from overstudy,
assembled to the platform just below
the Goddess of Liberty, more than 259
feet above terra firma, and plunged
headlong into space. In striking the
thick copper sheathing of roofing over
the rotuna the body made a deep in
dentation in the metal, which is now
pointed out to visitors by the capitol
guides.
Next to the tragedy of the dome is
recent occurrence which is desig-
; mated as "the romance of the dome. y

Queer Piece of Red Tape Is Found

and mailed in Beebe Plain, Canada,
goes 294 miles, 81 of them in Canada
and the remainder in the United
States, just exactly as the other letter
does, for the reason that that is the
way that mail is routed, and, OF
course, it has to follow that string of
red tape, whereas if the fellow who
has a letter to mail to some one in
Beebe Plain, VT, but lives in Canada,
simply walks across from one side OF
the post Office to the other and sticks
his letter in the Vermont post office,
the Vermont man will probably get
it within a couple of hours.
The remarkable thing about it is
that there are separate entrances to
these two post offices, they have the
same lobby, and there is not a sign
of a partition to mark the division be-
tween the domain of Uncle Sam and
the possessions of King Edward, and
yet some railroad company is carrying
the letters of these two places, If adj

Warmer by his superiors and others

confirmed reports that the shortage
would probably amount to at least
100000.
The officials of the road are astound-

riner and are pressing him for addi-

money, the sums alleged to have been
paid by him on account Of blackmall
and in improbable speculation still
leaving large sum unaccounted Tor.
Warmer insists that he has not a

rations in which he was interested

nv HERE are two snuff takers in the
United States senate, Mr.. Over
man of North Carolina and Mr.. Carter
of Montana. For the benefit of these
two men the senate still maintains the
official snuff boxes, which are kept
carefully with fresh material for pro-
ducing sneeZes.
These boxes are little lacquered af-
fairs about four inches long, two and
a half inches wide and an inch deep,
and are fastened by screws to the
top of the projecting ledge, one on
each side of the vice-president's dais.
The snuff is purchased by the SER
geant-at-arms in four eight pound jars,
at a cost Of Is cents pound, and it
takes an average of about five pounds
year to replenish the boxes twice a
week during the sessions. The work
of reflling the boxes was for years
one of the duties tremendously per-
formed by the late Capt. Bassett, the
venerable assistant doorkeeper of the
senate and inveterate user of the pow
dered weed; but since his death, five
years ago, the task has fallen to the
lot of one of the pages, who, naturally,
does not 'bestow upon it the loving
care of his aged predecessor
Capt Bassett when he died had
completed nearly sixty years of con-
tinuous service in the senate, and was
almost the sole relic of the days when
the use of snuff was general in that
body. For many years before his
death his dignifed, almost ceremoni-
Gus, manner of indulging in the habit
