vERMONT'S FEDERAL PATRON AGE.

The Vermont state democratic commit
tee has experienced no end of hufeting,
but it is now in a position to recall
that. He laughs best who laughs last"
Ono of the first developments following
the meeting of the committee in Bur
lington at which a number of men were
endorsed for various positions. including
postofficeS, was the ignoring of the
recommendation of Michael ]. Moran to
be postmaster in Brattlcboro to- succeed
former Congressman Kittredge iIaskins.
Major Childs. who had been postmaster
under President Cleveland, was endorsed
hy the postoffice department in Wash
irgton, and President Wilson appointed
him to tn, office On December 16 last.
\ bitter protest was made against the
confirmation of Childs by the Senate and
tho appointment was hung up"
Chairman Kennedy of the stat demo-
cratic committee did not enjoy this IN
auspicious beginning Of his efforts to dis
pcnsc federal pap among the faithful,
and he Immediately donnrd his war
paint. Protests against various other
appointments in burlington and else
whore added picturcsquencss to the fray.
Vermont being without democrats in
either branch of Congress United States
Senators Hollis of New Hampshire and
O'Gorman of New York took a finger in
the Green Mountain pie.
The result Of the whole melee is a
distinct victory for the organization all
along the line. The selection Of Meldon
for the postoffce in Rutland and Burke
in burlington, has now been supple
mented by the substitution of Moran for
Childs as postma ster in Brattlehoro The

RUTLAND COUNTY
DEPUTIES PURSUE
DEFAULTER IN VAIN

Rutland, March l6.--William Pitt
Hyde wanted in Portland, Me, whore
the officers hold a warrant charging
him with defrauding Maine native out
of 10000, gave the local sheriffs de-
partment a merry chase for the last
TWO days, managing to keep few
hours ahead of the Vermont officers,
who this morning. learned of his
tHyde's) last stopping place that he had
decided to return to Maine and make
what defense he had. a copy of the
original warrant arrived in this city
Monday afternoon and within ten min
utes Deputy Sheriff Pascal Ricci was
speeding towards the home of Hyde's
wife in Fair Haven.
The warrant which is signed by
Harry T. Nixon, clerk of the municipal
court of Portland alleges that on
February -. Hyde delivered to Alex =
ander T. Laughlin. acting as agent for
Fred V. Edgell, ten certificates of ten
shares each in the New England Cold
Storage company, each share valued at
800 and the whole totallns $4,000
and at the time Hyde promised to turn
over to Thomas L. Libby, treasurer of
the New England Storage company
out the latter part of the agreement
and the warrant alleges he never in
tended to turn over this money to the
company treasurer.
The officials at Portland communicated
with Sheriff r. C. Fish of West Ru;-
land 1t was learned that the man had
been in this vicinity but the officers here
did not feel like making an arrest without
the necessary papers and these did NOT
arrive until yesterday afternoon.
Deputy Ricci was at once sent To the
home of Mrs. Hyde in Fair Haven and
there a daughter informed the officer that
Mr.. Hyde was not at home, She did not
know where he was. Later it was learned
that Mrs. Hyde tolcphoned to Mr., Hyde
Informing him that the officers We're on
his trail.
This morning Deputy sheriff Ricci ana
Deputy -, \, Barker learned that HYDE
WAS at the home of Frank l.. Russell IN
Shrewsbury, where he had been a guest
rsnce Thursday evening, Hyde being a
cousin of Mrs Russell. The officers in
an automobile went as fast as possible to
the mountain town where it was learne'
that Hyde left last night Mr.. Russell
told the officers that MI Hyde received
n telephone call from Fair Haven late in
the afternoon and that he went soon
after The officers learned he did not
either buy a ticket or take the train at
the Cuttingsvillo station.
The Russell family did not know of the
trouble Hyde was in and Monday night
when Mr. Russell learned the facts he
advised Hyde to go back to Maine and
explain his action Mr. Russell told Sher-
IN Fish this afternoon that when Hyde
left his home last night he said he was
going to return to Portland.

"a EFORE the Spanish-American
war visit to Havana, Cuba,
was something of an adven-
80 ture, and not altogether a. safe
one because of the prevalence
of yellow fever. But the American
sanitary engineers who followed the
army of occupation cleaned up the
city and the island, and Havana is
now one of the most healthful places
in America. In recent years, too, the
transportation facilities for reaching
the West Indies have been so revolu-
tionized that the trip no longer re-
quires unusual endurance or courage,
being made easily and speedily in lux
ury.
Though Havana has been to a great
extent Americanized, it has not lost
its individual charm. In all the nu-
merous changes that have taken place
in the last dozen years no attempt
has been made to obliterate those
characteristics which were both pic
turesque and innocent. 1t is true
that if the tourist desires to ride in
volante, the native carriage. he has
to make a request, otherwise he is
more than likely to take motor
car. AS, generally speaking, the
roads around Havana are good, these
little motor tours are very agreeable.
In this connection it is useful to know
that one may bring into the island his
own motorcar without paying duty by
giving the necessary bond that it is
not for sale or for rent. Facilities
for storing and running the car are
entirely modern.
Still a Foreign City.
Havana is still foreign city, so far
as the eye discerns; and it may also
be said that it is foreign so far as
language is concerned. However, the
English-speaking tourist finds no diff
Guilty in making himself understood
or in having his ideas as expressed
in his own choice Anglo-Saxon in
terpreted. English is spoken almost
everywhere.
In the recently erected public build
ings, such as banks, railroad stations
and similar enterprises, there is seen

drive and promenade along the sea
wall In the daytime the chairs which
one rents for a small sum at night
are free. Theaters also are open in
the evening. and the ubiquitous NOV
Ing picture houses are also in opera
ton.
Havana is city of plazas, prom.
enades, colonnaded buildings, churches
and palaces. 1t is all very European
and yet there is just a touch that
makes the American feel that while
he is in strange country he is at
home and among friends. Sugar is
the islands greatest commodity The
cane once planted continues for near
~ score of years to give three good
crops of cane each year 1t is now
possible for the tourist to visit the
sugar country from Havana, and the
railway also will take him into the
heart of the Vuelta Abajo country
in Pinar del Rio province, where the
finest cigar tobacco in the world, the
kind that goes into the real Habana,
is grown.
All of Cuba is enhancing in the ro-
mantle and entirely foreign landscape
it presents wherever one goes. The
trips from Havana are almost illimit-
able. The island has several good
railroad systems, and almost every
part of it that is likely to prove inter-
esting to tourist is tapped by one
or another of the transportation COM
panies.
