ONE DAMAGE OF GOSSIP.

The damage which gossip may do was
illustrated in the case of banking in
stitution in South Boston during the
past few days, when some irresponsible
party started little rumor afoat that
the bank was in somewhat hazardous
position, or perhaps the rumor was more
yelled, and someone else took up the
story and magnifed it in the telling,
at the same time no doubt accompany
ing the story with certain wise looks
that say more than words sometimes;
then third party took it upon himself
to tell his neighbor and by that time it
was public property flying hither and
thither like dust borne before summer
wind. The inevitable result was that
depositors in the bank in question be-
came so uneasy over the safety of their
funds that they began to stream to the
bank and TO demand their money. And
the stream became rush, until hun
dreds of accounts had been withdrawn.

ment of the bank commissioner that the
institution was sound and in spite OF
further published statements that neigh.
boring banks had promised great deal
of money to meet the demands OF all
depositors. AT length the fears of the
public became somewhat allayed and the
depositors began to regain their courage
and to cease their clamoring for their
money and normal conditions were re-
stored. Then the depositors who had
taken out their money became chagrinned
to learn that by their panic-stricken
rush to demand their principal they had
forfeited their right to certain amount
of interest and would have to start all
over again.
It is lesson that is repeated now
and then in various parts of the country
as criminal gossip gets in its nefarious
work; and the experience of the deposit
tors of the South Boston institution
ought to be sufficient to warn deposit
tors in other institutions not to be too
hasty in withdrawing money on idle ru-
NOR. They should be further convinced
by the recollection that in many cases
where the banks are actually closed the
depositors have been paid their principal
in full. Meanwhile it would be fitting
if the law could get hold of the gossip
ers who start such stories.

Double Personalities.

Dual personality of the type immor-
talized by Stevenson in the character of
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde is not so rare
as is generally believed. Criminology
records many such cases, but invariably,
from their sensational and extraordinary
nature, they attract more than passing
attention. Should August Kaufman

safe robberies for which he has been
arrested, his double career would by no
means be unprecedented.

MOTHER INcRIMINATEs HERSELF.
BY Trying to Get Abandoned Baby in
Rutland.


Rutland, Jan. 2S-The identity of the
mother of the baby girl which was left
on the doorstep at the home of Mrs
Richard Baker of 1874 Strong avenue,
this city, Saturday evening was learned
Yesterday by Chief of Police Jesse
Young, who after long and gruelling
examination obtained confession from
Mrs. Jennie Wiley Russell Smith, ~
years old, formerly OF Clarendon, that
the child was hers. There is a pathetic
story connected with the desire of the
woman to get rid of the little one which
was overcome yesterday by the mother
instinct, Mrs. Smiths attempt to regain
possession OF the baby by a subterfuge
resulting in the solution of the mystery
for which the officers have been working
three days.
Mrs. Smith appeared at the house of
Mrs. Baker yesterday about 1880
o'clock and stated that she knew the
mother of the child; it had been stolen
from l6-year-old girl in Ludlow and
Mrs. Smith wanted to take 1t home.
Mrs. Baker became suspicious at once
and police headquarters were notified.
Officer Conlin took Mrs. Smith to Chief
Young's Office, where at first she stuck
to her original story. Later she told an
entirely different story. Finally, how
ever, she confessed that the baby was
born to her while she was alone in
lumber camp east of this city on Janu-
airy 81. She has had no medical attend
anee and has not been confined to her
bed since, she declares. Saturday, when
the baby was three days old, she came
to this city on the stage and that night
left the child on the steps.
An irresistible longing to see the in
FAINT came over her Monday and caused
her TO visit Mrs. Baker yesterday. The
child viii be given to its mother at the
jail for the present. The city authori-
ties have had three requests to adopt
the baby.
Mrs. Smith was locked up at the eoun-
ty Jail on the charge of abandoning her
child, an offensc punishable by a long
term in states prison. She has for some
time been out on bail under charge of
bigamy. Her maiden name was Jennie
Wiley and her first husband, the one
whom the state has claimed to be her
present lawful one, was Carl Russell.
The man she now claims to be her hus-
band is Harry Smith. J. Dyer Spellman
OF Rutland has been engaged as her
counsel.

called the greatest work of MePdellsohn,
one of the master writers of choral works

opportunities for the soloists, as well
as for the ladies, male and mixed cho-
ruses. 1t has all the strength of Men
delssohn at his best and more vitality
than his later compositions.
Furthermore, il is admirably adapted
for festival purposes, as its production
requires only thirty minutes and thus
affords opportunity for miscellaneous
selections, so much TO 5e desired when

other community in Vermont, to oper-
ate along civic lines without branch

commended for their public spiritedness,
and they deserve the cooperation of all

The library on Vermont history owned
bv the late Horace w. Bailey of New
bury and Rutland is said to have been
one of the best in existence, Mr.. Bailey
having been engaged during consid-
cradle part of his life in collecting the
volumes, as well as contributing now
and then from his own pen. Such being
the case, it would be most unfortunate
to have the volumes scattered. Instead
of following such course, the heirs OF
the estate, if they had no place for
keeping of the library, may see
their way clear to insure the safety OF
the precious collection by putting it in
some public institution as trust. to
be returned to the owners in case of
demand. Or, if they see fit, they might
donate the collection to some institu
ton, which will keep it intact, as the
Bailey library. We feel permitted to
make this suggestion as to disposal of
private property in view of the fact
that the people of Vermont have GER
tain interest in seeing that such a fine
Vermont library is maintained in its en-
tirety, and we trust that the suggestion
will be taken in the spirit in which it is
made.

OVERCOME BY GASES.

Very Sick. -

Burlington, Jan. 2s.--Peter Ashline,
driver of the fire chiefs automobile, was
overcome by poisonous gases while work
ing on the machine in fire station three
yesterday and as a result is confined to
his home by illness. The accident is
one which seldom happens. Ashline had
the engines working and must have in
hailed some strong gas from the exhaust,
for he tainted away and, although a
physician was summoned at once, it was
more than an hour before he was re-
vived. He was then taken to his home,
where, it is expected, he will be obliged
to remain for several days. The gas
when strong has powerful effect on
the heart and that is evidently what
caused Ashline to faint away. In fire
station one, pipe running out of doors
is provided for taking care of the fumes
