ROBBED WHILE MOVING
Mrs. Arthur Lanthier, Valley Street
Finds Feather Bed and Mattress
Poor Hiding Place.

Because she thought a mattress
and a feather bed was safe place
to leave wad of money, Mrs. Arthur
Lanthier, who has been living on VAL
ley street, is mourning the loss of
hundred dollars that mysteriously dis
appeared as she was having her
goods moved, preparatory TO leaving
for Torrington. Conn.
Mrs. Lanthier claims that she had
500 and that for safekeeping IL was
placed between a mattress and a
feather bed and some time while her
goods were being placed on the wa
gon. the money disappeared.
A daughter corroborates Mrs. Lam
theirs statement as to her having that
amount, and also to having seen IL in
the hiding place, a short time prior
TO its being missed.
Clarence Ferris and his two sons
who were moving the goods denied
having seen the money. Mr.. Ferris
has moved many families in and
about st. Johnsbury and this is the
first time any such circumstance has
happened. He is not thought 10 have
any connection with the disappear
ance of the money.
The officers were at the depot when
! the airline going south left the sta
ton to see that a party who they sus-
pected might have had a hand in
the affair did not leave town.
The money represented a sum that
was to be used in defraying expenses
in moving to Connecticut.

FISH Determine FATE
OF nations, HE SAYS
Dr.. James Howard Gore Tells Geo
graphic Society Finny Species
Helped Make History Of Europe.

That the pride and wealth Of great
cities and nations literally depended to a
large degree upon the vassri of the
herring in their migrations, was one of
the interesting remarks in the story of
The Baltic and Its Shores" as told by
DR.. James Howard Gore in a lecture be-
fore members of the National Geogr pho
Society at New Masonic Temple last
night. While the great herring schools
came into the Baltic to spawn in It's
shore waters, the Hanseatic cities throve
and prospered, and. when these fish
changed their spawning grounds to
Dutch waters. the Hansa cities waned,
out of the proceeds of the herring catch.
There is saying, the lecturer went on,
that the great city OF Amsterdam was
built upon herring bones, and, when II
is considered what an important part this
fish played in the commerce of the Mid
die Ages, there is little difficulty IN ac-
cepting this metaphor at its face value.
He explained that the fish industry was
of tremendous significance in those ages
before the advent of Professionalism, when
all the people of Europe faithfully OBJ
served the fasts and the church regula-
tions as to the consumption of meats.
Fish, however, have formed but a part
of the vast commerce that has flowed
out of Baltic regions from the stone age
until today, according to the speaker
The trading on this water-body has al
ways been significant, he said. not even
second to that great traffic that In all
ages has followed the lanes of the Med
iterranean.
