Scarcely a tablet or other public re- hinder marks the philanthropic achievements of this modest gentle man, who scrupulously concealed his Identity as the .giver of some of the greatest charitable enjowments in re- cent years. Hospitals. libraries and funds for every need of the poor knew their founder in this silent philan. thropist, though few of their host of beneficIaries were ever allowed to learn to whom they were indebted. While the benefactions of hundreds of much richer men were heralded far and wide. John $.

Customs Crime.

Scandals that will shake to the depths the business and political world of the nation are today believed to be brewing in the brand new customs house anu about the wharves and im- porting districts of this town. Seldom has the threat of exposure moved so nightly the men engaged in activi- ties. as extensive as those of the im- portations of this harbor. in all the history of graft probing in Gotham. For years the business men of this port have smelled the scent of scandal rising high to heaven from every wharf and stores. where government employees are able to practice fraud with scarcely c chance for their superiors to check or even detect them. Common knowledge has long shown the honest element In business af- fairs here that the channels Of this country's greatest port of entry must be soon secured clean for the moral benefit of the whole nation. While every effort is being made today to purge the custom service of much of the corruption that has already been uncovered, New Workers look for tre- mendous revelations from this source in the near future.

New York. Nov. 7~-(Special)--o the ashes of more than a million doi- lars, consumed in the fires of the city campaign just ended. New Workers are today taking stock of the weird work ings of the most bitter battle ever waged in the political history of this town. ltys Rls Ae
 Never can the party veterans here remember a campaign in which more money and mud was thrown to the raging winds than in the past live weeks of partisan strife. Carelul count in the headquarters of the three warning camps shows today that real money to the extent of hundreds of thousands of dollars has been spent by the packers of each candidate Tor mayor.
 Small fortunes were reaped by scores of printers. advertising men and rent CTS of audience halls. Cab and motor companies are left thousands of dol- lars richer, for the perigrinations or the armies of orators. while uncle Sam has gieaned Into hts coffers at least $5o,0O0 for the postage on tons of campaign literature. Many mile of subway could have been built for poor, congested, old Manhattan by the gold that the bosses have scattered to make a fight for the control Of the political fortunes of the people or Greater New York.

Montpelier Seminary Happy.

Saturday night, Oct. 2, the students OF
Montpelier seminary celebrated a double
victory by a huge bonfire and by the
ringing of the chapel bell. The bonfire
consisted OF an Anticipated wooden annex
OF one of the boarding halls which was
taken to pieces and set mp in the middle
of the campus. II had been promised
that when the endowment was raised
this fall or when the football game was
won from the Montpelier high school this
season that the old building might be
used a. bonfire, and both OF these
events were run OF on succeeding days.
Oct. the 500, 900 required to get the
conditional gift of DIR. Pearsons Of $50, 900
was finished up, insuring Montpelier
seminary the $4,000 endowment, and
making Montpelier seminary the best en-
dowed secondary school in Vermont.
The next day Montpelier high school
suffered defeat at the hands of the husky
seminary football team to the tune OF IL
o. While the high school we're trappy
and were generally looked upon to win,
they could not prevail against the heavy
line OF their opponents, nor could their
trick plays get formed behind the line, or
under way before being nailed for losses.
For the seminary, Verne Vose Of Pitts
field played a star game at quarterback,
running the team with good judgment.

TALLY dressed. Sitting about her body
were IA cats, her only companions in life.
She had apparently been ohoked to death.
II is probable that criminal assault was
committed, and an autopsy was held TO
determine this point and the cause Of
death.
