Named by Mistake.

1t Is not often that n town IS named
by mistake. but about l50 years ago
this thing happened-not to one town,
but to three towns in Vermont. At
that time n grant of land was made by
New Hampshire to some Connecticut
settlers. This tract then as now, was
divided into three townships Burling
ton, on the hillside of Lake Cham
plain; Colchester, Just north and Will
hston, east. The three towns Were
chartered on the same day, and it was
at this time that the names were
mixed
The Burling family took up their
land IN the north section (Colchester)
and 1t seems to be true that their
name was to have been given the
town. so that it should have been
called Burlington. Other settlers took
up the eastern portion (Wiiston) ans
the rest remained in the part by the
lake (Burhngtonj Among these last
was the Willis family and there j:
evidence that they expected to call th'
city Williston. However, there wa'
so much confusion in the entering O
the records that the town where til,
Burhngs settled was called Colchester
the town of the Willis family wa
named Burlington, while the town t
the east was called Williston. An,
so they have remained TO this day

$1,000 IN CASH TAKEN.
Money Stolen from Delivery Wagon in
Banking District of Paris.

PARIS. March >. \ daring theft
of upward of 100000 in cash was car
ried out Saturday in the Rue Chauchat
in the banking district of this city.
The money was taken from n postoffice
motor-driven delivery wagon in which
it was being carried to various con
signees for the payment Of monthly
salaries and accounts. The wagon was
in charge of two men, one of them a
chauffeur whose duty it was to watch
the door at the back of the inclosed
wagon while his companion delivered
the packages. The second man went
into broker 5 office, leaving the wa
gon door locked as usual When he re-
turned and took his seat inside he no
ticed that the most valuable package
of all. a small bag containing 100000
was gone.
The driver declared he had seen no
one. The police after investigation
came to the conclusion that the thief
had been dressed in postofice uniform
and had possessed n key with which he
opened the door at an instant when the
chauffeur's attention had been divert

DECLINE OF THE SALOON.

Did you know that during the
last eight years an average of 40
saloons per day have gone out of
business in the United States? That
tells the story of the way in which
restrictive measures are operating in
almost all parts of the country. No
wonder that the manufacturers and
dispensers of alcoholic beverages are
becoming alarmed over the strength
Of the temperance sentiment to be
found today in all ranks Of society,
including some of the most serious
minded men who do not usually fol-
low a will-o' the wisp. One out
spoken brewer may have voiced the
sentiment of others who felt that
silence was more discreet when, at
a convention the other day, he de-
clared that the closing up of the
liquor business in this country was
only matter of time.-Editorial in
