RELIEVED OF HIS COIN.
Young Man Told Police at Burlington
Fiat He Had Been Robbed Of $50

Burlington, July Sired Borier OF
Hemensford Que, young man who
came across the line to seek employ
ment as a farm hand in Middlebury,
was relieved of $50 on the train yes
terday by pickpocket, if the story he
told the police today is true. The
young man said that he had been en-
ployed in Champlain, N. Y, and had
saved $50 besides his railroad fare
and some change.
He had supposed that good job
was awaiting him in Middlebury for
the asking, but upon his arrival here
last night he was disappointed and as
he had missed his $50 on the way
down, he became cisheartened and
decided to return. He got as far as
Burlington, but had not enough mon
ey to go farther. He told his story IN
broken English to Policeman Frasier
at the station and purse sufficient
to purchase his ticket to Ckamplain,
N. Y, was quickly made up from tho
crowd. - a-.MSN

Praise For DeROer.

Concerning Joseph A. DeBoer the
Bradford Opinion speaks as follows;
Chairman DeBoer OF the Republi-
can Convention asked the delegates
to be lenient with him, as he was
handicapped by lack of time in the
preparation of his address. He need
not have done so. His address was
81 far ahead of tha speeches ordinar-
lily expected of chairmeD of such con-
ventions, so full of clear-cut phra-
seology, graphic presentation of con-
fronting political problems and in
telligent analysis, that it stands forth
prominently as one of the strongest
and most appropriate of addresses
delivered upon the pressing political
issues of the day.
His portrayal of the political UNI
rest and summary of the principal
causes not only showed an unusual
grasp of the subject, but was, also,
so logically presented, that hope may
be entertained Of good seed well plant
ed in the public mind from which ra-
tional ideas may grow contributory TO
wise adjustment Of our present con-
fusing conditions.

the side, the cap is light brown, buff
or yellowish and the gills dirty
white. This kind does not decay SO
early as some others, but it gradually
grows hard and after time becomes
unfit for food for that reason. Clus-
tiers of this variety are sometimes
found weighing twenty-five or thirty
pounds.
A cousin to this is the elm mush-
room, so called. because it grows only
on elm trees. 'F,s general appearance
is much like the oyster mushroom,
but the stem is longer and the indiv-
iduils in clump are usually farther
apart
The oyster mushroom may be cook
cd in any way an oyster is cooked and
is strongly suggestive Of that biyalve
while it's cousin of the elm tree is
suggestive of fish.

.AEROPLANE DROPS.
Baroness DelarOche Victi moi Seri-
Gus Mishap at Aviation Meet

Betheny Plains, Rheims, July S.
The second distressing accident of the
aviation meeting now in progress here
occurred today when the Baroness
Delaroche driving Voisin biplane
lost he rnerve when at height of so
with her machine to the ground. Her
legs and arms we're broken and she
also suffered severe Commissions, but
the doctors who are treating her hope
for her ultimate recovery. At first
it was believed the Baroness had sus-
tanned fractured skull, but this pro-
we'd not to have been the case.
At a height of so metres the Bar
oness had flown once around the big
field The spectators in the grand
stand were applauding her vocifer-
ously Suddenly she appeared fright
ened by the approach of two other
aeroplanes, one of which a Sommer,
driven by M. Lindpainter, passed dir
ectly over her The Baroness, in
cident said that the~rush of air from
the motor overhead threw her into
CONSERVATION and that she cut off the
ignition and lost control of her BIZ
plane. At first the machine glided
on an even keel but suddely it turn
ed over and fell to the ground and
was wrecked.
The crowds rushed out on the field
and tenderly extricated the tangled
and bloody form of the woman from
the debris and she was conveyed in
an ambulance to a nearby hospital
Meanwhile Lindpaintner had descend
ed and the crowd believing him res
ponsible for the accident threatened
to lynch him. Gerdarmes, however
threw a Gordon about the aviator and
dispersed the excited spectators. An
enquiry afterwards by the judges
committee into the accident showed
that Lindpaintenr was in no way re-
sponsible for it.
The first accident of the meeting
occurred last Sunday, the opening
day, when Charles Wachter's mono
plane collapsed at a height of 500
feet and dipped like stone, instant

Warren was the first of the trio ar

gone, and he said he took but a few
bottles. The case was continued until
yesterday afternoon and in the mean
time Warren had weakened and i'm

Familiar VARIETY.

Every one is familiar with the va
rieties that melt away after maturity
and leave an inky blotch on the
grass. These belong to the botanic
family coperinus and are called inky
or deliquescent mushrooms. One of
these, the shaggy name, is familiar
sight along the streets of Montpelier,
beside old houses and on well nour-
ished lawns. If the ground is not
broken up it will reproduce year af-
ter year in the same place, Some
crop of shaggy names in thcir back
yard for more thnn a dozen years.
The cap of this variety never eX-
pands, but remains folded over the
stem and looks like a folded Japan
csc umbrella 1t sometimes grows to
a height of six inches, but frequently
is not more than half that height.
Its surface is white and covered with
curious shaggy frecklies from which
it derives its name. As it grows old
er the color changes to a brown and
finally to a black, when it begins to
melt away and finally disappears 1t
should be gathered before it's color
has changed much from it's original
white. 1t cannot be mistaken for any
other variety. One of the same ia
mily, known as the inky toadstool,
is common about here, and when i'm
mature resembles the shaggy name in
having the cap closed, but that un-
furls later and becomes fiat or nearly
so.

Meadow Mushroom a Favorite.

Those who believe there is only one
fungus fit for food usually select the
meadow mushroom, Agaricus campes-
iris, as that one. 1t appears late in
summer or early in the fall in mead
ow and pastures and lawns, and like
ton. The cap is smooth or slightly
roughened, white or cream color, from
two to three and a half inches across.
The gills are OF pale flesh tint,
changing to pink and purple and
brown as the specimen becomes older
The stem is creamy white ard solid
and the remains OF the veil show just
below the cap.
This is the only mushroom under
cultivation or that can be cultivated
with any certainty of success. Bricks
of the spawn or seed can be secured
from most seed houses and books of
direction for its culture may be pur-
chased, while a bulletin from the de-
partment of agriculture treats of its
artificial propagation.
There are several varieties of this
Agaricus some OF them differing only
in minor details, but in all of them
the cap at the base of the stem, the
mark of the poisonous Amanita. is
lacking. To the careless observer
there may seem much similarity to
the Amanita. Their haunts are differ
ent, however. The Amanita prefers
the woods and is seldom found in open
places while the Agaricus prefers
fields and pastures and is seldom
found in the woods. The gills are
pink, brownish or yellow, while those
of the Amanita are white, and the
stem is solid while that of the Amani-
ia is hollow.

The Pasture Variety.

The pasture mushroom is one of
the easily recognized varieties of the
Agaricus family. 1t is abundant in
old pasture lands and is some times
found in the woods. The cap is at
first egg shaped but expands in de-
velopment until it is almost fat with
a mound in the center. The color is
pale brown. spotted with patches OF
darker brown, and the skin of the cap
is thick and comparatively tough.
The stem is frequently eight inches
high and the cap often ssix inches in
diameter, while the gills are almost
pure white. The stem is Dubious at
the base and occasionally some col
lector is frightened into believing this
the sacket of the Amanita.

DETECTIVE LYNCHED.
Shooting Of Former Chief of Police
in Ohio Results i'm Rioting,

Newark, Ohio, July S.--Carl Ether
ington, % years old, employed Thurs
day night by tire Anti-Saloon League
as blind tiger raider, was lynched
here at 1896 tonight following a day
of almost continuous rioting. The
heavy doors of the Licking county
jail were battered down and Ether
ington was dragged from his cell He
was shot, kicked and bruised before
the street was reached and the finish
followed quickly.
Etherington early in the evening
confessed he killed William Howard,
prietor of the Last Chance" res
taurant and former chief of police, in
raid of alleged speak cafes" dur
ing a scuffle at 1870 this afternoon
and narrowly escped lynching at that
time. When news from the hospital
that Howard had died passed over the
city at o'clock tonight the fury of
the mob took definite form.
Large battering rams were direct
ed upon the doors of the Licking
county jail and the deputies were
powerless The doors fell after near
ly an hours attack.
Crying piteously Etherington, a cur
ly headed Kentuckyian, VINO had been
serving as a strikebreaker since he
wa released from marine service
three months ago, was dragged forth.
Il didn't mean to do it," he walled,
but his cries fell upon deaf ears
Fearing that the mob spirit would
not be satisfied with one victim Sker-
| if Links Immediately asked Adjutant
General Weybrecht for troops to pro-
tect six other dry" raiders held at
the city prison, in another section of
the town. A hurried guard was
| thrown out in their defense. The
mob, after the first taste of blood,
seemed to quiet, but it is feared that
the rioters will storm the city prison
before the night is finished.
Etherington's last moments, while
he heard the mob battering down the
doors, were spent in praying and wri-
ting a note to his parents, farmers
| residing nea" Williamsburg, KY.
1t is said that when the detectives
entered Towards place on the out
skirts of Newark he put his arms
about Etherington, as if to hold him

Safe to Experiment.

One of the old rules in regard to
fungi was that anything growing on
wood was dangerous. Yet one of the
most desirable varieties, the oyster
mushroom, another variety of the
Agaricus, grows on wood and no.
where else. In fact it is safe to ex-
pertinent with almost any kind grow
ing on trees or fallen logs, though
some of them will be found entirely
too tough or hard or pungent for con-
sumption. The oyster mushroom fire.
quently grows in large clusters on
maple trees or on old logs, and all
about the city in the early autumn it
may easily be gathered 1t is easy to
find and to collect and is very palat-
able. No extended description of this
is necessary. The short stem is at

Common In This Locality.

All but one of these varieties are
common all about the city and are
here described because they are cas-
lily recognized and, may be found and
gathered without difficulty. With the
exception of the beefsteak mushroom
all these may be found in a walk
about town in their season
When these are studied and learned
it will be easy for anyoen interested
to acquire familiarity with other
kinds of edible fungi in this vicinity.
To describe or classify them would
require more space than can be given
in an article Of this sort. Any one
desiring to become really familiar
with fungi must consult some good
onal investigating, but with a knowl-
edge of the few varieties here de-
scribed one may have a delicious adj
dition to the bill of fare all summer
and fall, an addition that is desirable
for economic as well as gastronomic
reasons.
Mushrooms may be cooked in al
most any way one prefers. They may
be fried plain in oil or butter or ba-
con fat, or dipped in batter before
frying or busted with -four; or they
may be broiled over the Goals with a
bit of butter in the gills. They are
made into soups and purees, into
stews like an oyster and into pies or
patties. They may be baked or es-
calloped and all sorts of flavorings
are used with them, but the real
mushroom epicure disdains all addi-
tional favors and prefers them plain
ly fried or broiled.

Company's proposed extension line
from Fair Haven to Poultney was re-
moved today, when the Public Ser
vice Commission awarded land dam
ages on one property there and left
open the matter of the right of way
across another, because the tracks
may not touch it,
There were two hearings today, the
first in this city at which was taken
up the matter of damages on
land in the town of Rutland owned by
Michael Hogan of West Rutland The
company is changing it's route
through the town of Rutland in or
der to make it more direct. Mr.. Ho-
gan claimed $1,000 damages and was
awarded $3.50.
At the second hearing which was

lists.
The pathtinding trip for the Nun
sey Historic Tour was completed in
Washington on July 6, the trail blaz-
ing party, which was recently in this
city, being out exactly three weeks
in laying out the route, in an EMF
go. The route will be approx
imately 1850 miles, and will pass
through ten States and the District
of Columbia. 1t will embrace a Sec
ton of the country that has figured
in all the valiant deeds that marked
the beginning of the Republic. The
scenic features are beyond compare
The average days run will be 1877
miles, although on number of days
the contestants will be called upon
to make from 1877 miles to 1919 miles.
The shortest days run will be from
Binghamton to Wilkes Barre, IS
miles, but the road conditions are
such that this short journey is equal
to any days run in the itinerary
The last three days of the tour will be
the hardest. Rough and rocky roads
lie between Binghamton and Wash
ington and it is between these two
points that the real hardshils of the
tour will be encountered The scenic
features will compensate in a meas
ure for the rough going.
The pathfinding party in the EMF
so touring car, driven by Tom
Skeggs, received a cordial welcome
all along the line. They were recipi-
ents of numerous courtesies from au-
tomobile clubs in many cities and
were assured the contestants will be
entertained royalty when the tour
reaches those cities. Among the
clubs that are preparing to entertain
the Munsey tourists are the Quaker
City Motor Club, of PHILADELPHIA.
