Well as hidsousiy Ugly.
At the two extremes Of the Amer
lean continent dwell the most wretch
ed races of beings-the Eskimos at the
north and the Fueglans at the south.
or the two the Fuegians appear to be
the lowest ia the civilized scale, their
general aspect being wretched and de-
graded
Their hideously ugly faces express
the grossest stupidity, and their per-
sons are both stunted and mlsshapen.
The average height OF the men does
not exceed Eve feet two inches. that
Of the women four feet eight inches,
and owing to their habit Of standing
fl a STOPPING attitude they look even
less than their actual height
But, although they ARE yeritable pyg-
mics in stature. yet their bodies are
exceedingly large, and their general
appearance is such as might result from
lacking on TO the trunk Of a giant the
arms and legs Of a child.
Their color appears 70 be a copper
bronze, but as nearly all are begrimed
with smoke II Is difficult 70 specify
their precise hue. The very young
children are light brown IN color with
the exception Of the palms OF the
hands and the soles OF the feet, which
are Of a dirty yellow.
The heads Of the adults are covered
with coarse black hair which falls In
Iank masses to the neck behind and
on each side Of the face, but is cut
away from before the eyes.
The forehead IS low and retreating,
the nose broad. Cat and furnished with
immense nostrils and the mouth Is
very wide, with thick, protruding lips,
the upper one being very much elon-
gated.
The eyes are small and placed some
what obliquely. the iris IS Invariably
black in color and the white OF the
eye has a distinctly yellowish tinge.
Moreover. owing apparently to the irri-
tation produced BY the smoke Of the
fires over which they are so constant
" crouching, they are very generally
blear eyed.
The teeth, although very much dis
colored, are, as a rule, regular and
sound. The men have naturally only
a few black bristles scattered over the
upper Up and chin. These. however,
are carefully extracted from time to
time by means Of two mussel shells.
and very frequently the hair Of the
eyebrows Is removed by a similar
process. The males appear TO pay no
attention whatever to the dressing OF
their hair. but the women are some
what more particular and may fire.

Growing Popularity Of Lake Bomoseen.

Lake Bomoseen il annually becoming
more popular recreation place, not only
among Vermont people, but also among
those from other states. The hotels at

guests, and before the first 81 September

the utmost, There is practically no de-
sirable cottage at the lake that is not
now occupied and booked ahead for the
summer This despite the fact that the
number Of cottages has multiplied rapid

The reasons for the popularity Of this
resort are numerous. IT il easy Of access.
the lake is an unusually beautiful body
Of water, being the largest inland lake ia
the state, and the view from almost ey.
cry point is unexcelled in the Green
mountains.
The locality IS entirely healthful, and
the state law. which becomes effective
this year, prohibiting the disposal Of
sewage Of any character in The lake, will
guarantee the permanent sanitation Of
the resort
People who come to Lake Bomoseen
for the first time are peasingly sur
piised at it's desirability as rest place;
and one Of its best recommendations IS
found in the fact that many families re-

Any attempt to start league baseball
in Barre at this time would prove too
late in the season and would probably
prove losing venture. Il the Northern
league is ever to be revived, the first
steps toward the resuscitation must be
taken during the winter season, before
the players are engaged for the summer.
For the present, Barre win be satisfied
with the sport provided BY the two Lead
ing teams of the city for the city cham
pionship. The Times would suggest that
the newspaper clash between the teams
has gone far enough and that they get
down TO the real business Of arranging
dates and framing an agreement which
public sentiment win support and will
probably demand.

who refuse to be led to the water and
also forced to drink Those voters are
not esoreheadss or poor losers; but on
the contrary they are men Of free mind,
open to convictions, and not bound down
By party ties. Therefore, they feel free
to vote for Democratic candidate for

The st. Adams Messenger and the ST..

The old idea Of whatever Is il right in

NOTHING GRUESOME FOUND
 BY DIVERS AT LAKE COMO No Light Thrown on Mystery of Por- ter Charlton's Disappearance.

Como. Italy. June 16.-Although di- vers worked all day in the waters of Lake Como, their laoOrs were not re- warded with the finding Of anything that would aid in solving the mystery of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton $ murder, or serve as a cIew to the fate of the woman'S missing husband, Por- ter Charlton.
 Many visitors have come here from outlying districts and from adjoining towns to watch the divers at work and they seemed greatly disappointed because nothing more gruesome was brought up from the bottom of the lake than a ragged hat. an old shoe and similar articles of apparel, which were found to have no connection with the case.
 Nothing was discovered today that would in any way justify the supposi- tion that Charlton's body is in the lake and the search has tended to strength en the belief entertained all along by the police that Charlton has made his way out of the country and may now be on board some outward bound steamer.
 Temporarily the examination of Is- polatOf, the Russian suspect, has been suspended. while the efforts of the prosecutor are being directed to a thorough investigation of the scene of the murder and of the domestic and social relations of Charlton and his wife.

METHODIST PASTORS NAMES
 INVOLVED IN ISLANDER SUIT.
Complainant, Mrs. Mary Lavender,
 Seeks $50 900 Damages.

Chicago June 16.-A islander suit in- vOlving the names Of Methodist clergy men was begun in Judge Mangun's s court here today, the complainant be- ing Mrs. Mary Lavender, who seeks $50, 900 damages from the Rev. John B. Crawford, pastor of the Woodlawn M E. church
 Unusual interest attaches to the case for the reason that the jury may have to consider whether a Protesant pastor should hold inviolate any confession of a parishioner.
 Mrs. Lavender, whose hair is gray and who, like her husband, who Is con- siderably older than herself, is a. de- Vout church member, is said by the Rev MT. Crawford to have made confdant of him V ith reference to her relations with another minister of the Methodist faith. the Rev. John D. heek. According to MT. Ora wford, he Felt honor bound to relate what he had sheard with reference to MT. Leek to Bishop Mcdowell. Later the story be- came public, and thereafter MT. Craw- ford spoke with considerable freedom to newspaper reporters. Mir. Leek re- signed from the Chicago conference. The court was occupied today in se- zectinE a jury. Veniremen were asked if they knew Bishop McDowell, District Superintendent Holt or the Rev. w. E. Tilroe.
