HERMAN RIDDER DEAD
Perhaps Best Known German Ameri-
can In Country.

New York, Nov. Herman Rid
der, former treasurer of the Democra'
tic national committee and publisher
of the New Yorker Stats Zeitung,
died suddenly late today in his home
nj this city of an acute form of kid
ney disease. He had been i'll about
ten months and two weeks past his
condition had been critical. He was
in his sixty-fifth year
Members of his family were sum
moned to the bedside late today when
it was seen he could last little longer
and were with him when he died.
Among a great many leading Ger
man-American citizens Of the United
States, Herman Ridder was one OF
the most conspicuous figures in the
newspaper publishing business and in
politics. His associates in the pub
fishing business honored him at one
time with the presidency of the Amer
lean Newspaper Publishers associa-
tion, and for many years he held high
offices in the Associated Press as
treasurer and director. In politics he
was such factor that he was talked
of at the National Democratic conyen
tion in Denver in 1908, as possible
nominee for vice presient on the tick
ct with Bryan, whom, however, Mr..
Ridder opposed at that time. He al
so was discussed later as likely
selection for ambassador to Germany,

No Vermonterss in Heaven. o

- dreamed that5I went to thes City
of Gold, h'ct 20
TO Heaven, resplendent and fair;
And after entered the beautiful fold
BY one in authority then was told
That not Vermonter was there.
Impossible, sir for from my own
town
Many sought this delectable place,
And each must be here, with harp
or a crown
And a conqueror's palm and clean
linen gown
Received through merited grace"
The Angel replied, "All Vermonters
come here
When first they depart from the
earth,
But after day or a month or a year
They restless and lonesome and
homesick appear,
And sigh for the land of their birth.
They tell of ravines wild, secluded
and deep, .ah r8.
And of fiower-decked landscape Sc
rene;
OF towering mountains, imposing and
steep,
Adown which the torrents exultngly
leap,
Through forests perennially green.
They tell of the many and beautiful
hills;
Their forests majestic appear.
They tell of its rivers, its lakes
streams and rills,
Where nature the purest of water
distills,
And they soon get dissatisfied here.
We give them the best the kingdom
provides,
They have everything here that they
want,
But not a Vermonter in Heaven
abides.
very brief period here he resides,
Then hikes his way back to Yer

MAY DROP TROY AND ALBANY
May Be Displaced by other Cities in
NJ. Y. State League.

Syracuse and Binghamton papers
print stories to the effect that import
ant changes will be made in the
ranks of the New York State league
before the season of 1916 opens next
May Among the changes they say
will take place is that two Pennsyl
vania cities will be taken in to replace
Albany and Troy.
The papers go on TO say that it is
no secret that majority of the clubs
lost heavily during the season Of 1915
and that Albany and Troy suffered
most The writer's appear to believe
that Allentown and Reading are good
baseball towns and would materially
strengthen the State league circuit il
they were admitted in place of Al.
bany and Troy.
President John H. Farrell is oppos-
ed to any change in the circuit, how.
ever, being of the belief that Albany
and Troy will be able to hi Id their
own, but it Is not believed he would
stand in the way il he was sure he
could bolster up the circuit by Inaa-
ing changes.
The problems Of franchise trans
fers vii be, brought up at the annual
meeting in Syracuse or Utica in jana,
airy. IS.
Charles NJ, Winchester, president
of the Albany Baseball association
which controls the Albany State
league franchise has placed the clut
on the market but as far as can be
learned he has received no offer
The price asked by Mr.. Winchester
for the club is not known, but he has
said that he fwill refuse no reasonable
offer for the club. .t3,e5, re,e
In the event that Albany loses its
franchise at the January meeting, il
may be years before someone, at
tempts TO promote professional base
ball in Albany. When the population
of Albany is taken into consideration
it does seem mighty odd that the cit,
should be in danger of losing repre-
sentation in one of the stronges
minor league circuits in the country
Last season was a mighty disastr
Gus one in most minor league cities
and the fact that Albany was repre-
sented by second division team al
most from the start of the season
may be one of the reasons why tht
game was not patronized.
