LOOKS LIKE A WAR MOVE The Dutch Captured a Ven ezuelan Coastguard Ship AND TAKES IT INTO PORT Curacao In Greatly Excited Over This Minifeetation That the Dutch Mean Business Governor Say It Is Only Reprisal. Willemsted, Curacao, Dec 14. Tne Dutch aruisor Gelderland earn into this port towing the Venesuelan guard ship Alix, with the Dufcoh flag flying and a Dutch orew on board. The Gelderland oaf tured the Alix off puerto Cabello on Saturday. At that time the Alix was lying oloee ashore and, notwithstand ing the threat which the Venezulean government had made to fire upon any of the Dutch wershlps oonvuiiting hoe tile act, tne Gelderland steamed at peed towards the guardship and sent an officer and guard in a launch to seize a. This they did without resiatenoe, an no shot came from the forts on land. The orew of the Alix was put ashore And M Dutch o nicer and marines re mained on board, the Gelderland finally taking the Alix in tvw and steaming oway Willi feer nrae. Tne leisure of the Alix was in ao eordanoe with the plant of the Hol land government when instruction were Untied to the three Dutch war ships now in these waters to make a Aemotmt ration off the eoast of Venezue la, and to capture any Venezuelan hips of war or guard vessel that they might find. The arrival of the Gel tferand at Willemstad this morning waa greeted with unbounded enthusiasm by those who noticed the cruiser's approach and soon the entire populace were down to the water's edge to wel come the return of the Qelorland, tow ing the first ot the enemy's ships as tiiongh from a great conquest. Pleased at Cargo. Naturally, the people of Curacao, who have long been clamoring for ac tivity on the part of the Dutch govern ment are greatly rejoiced over this evi dence tint Holland has at last begun active measures against Venezuela, but tne government of Caracao, in explain ing the incident, had this to soy yes terday afternoon;' "The capture by onr warships of coast guards and war vessels is not to bo oonsktered an unfriendly act against tne Venezuelans, it is merely a re prim against Centre's government, which refuses te give satisfaction for his unfriendly aots toward Holland. The seizure of these vessels will make it impossible for t!he Venezuelan gov ernmenfc to carry troops or ammuni taon to and from the various ports. A communicaMn to this effect has bein forwarded by the Dutch government to tne German minister at Caracas." It is learned from the officers of the Gelderiand tihat the battleship Jacob Van Heemskerk and the cruiser Fries land are not off La Guayra and that further captures may be expected at any time. These two vessels left here on Friday, cleared for action, and it was believed at tiiat time that the in tention was to make a forcible demon tration at La Guayra. The opinion ia held here that the Venezuelan govern ment in the absence of President Cas tro, will not go so far as to fire upon the Dutch 'warships which, in view of the fact that Venezuela is practically without a navy, hold the Venezuelan ports at their mercy. CAUSED WILD EXCITEMENT. TWO BUILDINGS FALL FROM BOMB EXPLOSION Several Persons Arc Believed to Have Been Killed in Chicago Last Might Many Audiences in Panic. Chicago, Dec. 11. Two buildings were wrecked, several persons are believed to nave iM'en killed and windows were ahat tercd for a block around by the trrrilic explosion of a bomb In an alley In vva hah avenue near Mxtcenth street Jan lllfillt. The wrecked buildings adjoin the Co liseum, where the first ward Democratic ball, an annual revel, against the holding or which this year much opposition ha been made, is scheduled to be held to nijfht. Tho police are working on the theory that the bomb thrower designed to frighten people from going to the Coliseum, and thus prevent the ball. The report of the explosion was heard for a mile. The congregations of Grace hpmcopal chimin, adioimnjr the Coliseum and of the Open Church, a block away and guests of several nearby hotels. rushed to the streets excitedly. A two story frame building in Wabash avenue collapsed and took tire. The fire leaped across a vacant lot and spread to another frame building, winch was also wrecked Properties of the Coliseum stored in the two building were fuel for the flames It was reported that two men had en tered one of the buildings a short time before tli explosion, but the police and firemen have found no bodies in the nuns. Another theory is that the bomb was thrown as another demonstration in the "gamblers' war," which has been marked by the firing of a series ef bombs, in the vicinity of altered gambling place. said to be favored by the police, to the detriment of the bomb throwers, whose places have been closed. The ilrst ward ball has long lieen a source of contention between reformers and the promoters of the annual festival Recently the pastor of Grace Episcopal church sought and failed to get an in junction to prevent the holding of the ball on the ground that it was prejudicial to tne morals ot tho community. The Capture of Venezuelan Coastguard Ship By The Dutch. WilKamstad, Dec. 14. The easy cap ture of the coastguard ship Alix by the Dutch cruiser Geldarland and the suspicious absence of Castro are creat ing the wildest excitement in Venez uela. French advices say that Castro is placing millions in the banks there And has no thought to return, until the Dutch trouble is settled.

L, Dee. 14. Thornton J. Rains' trial opened to-day before Justice trans witn L'ua talesmen in attendance. Because John F. Mclntyre, senior eoun sel for the defense, was absent this morning, the session was davoted to hearing the excuses of jurors. Haina will tie brought irom the Long Island City jail- and will make thr trin" daily. Us ins is being tried as an accessory to ine murder oi vviiuam i-.. Annis, a mag azine writer, who was shot at the Bay- side Yacht club last summer by the de fendant's brother, Capt. Peter C. Hains, U. a. A., stationed at Fort Hamilton. It is charged that Tborntoa Hains, armed with a revolver, waved back a crowd of club members as Annis, who was step ping out of his catboat, was tired upon five times. Counsel for the Hains brothers, who will get up the defense of temporary insanity in the trial of Captain Hains, which will follow that of hie brother, nave indicated that the defense of Thorn ton Hains will be that one may not be held as an accessory to the act of an other who is temporarily insane. The chief issue in the captain's trial, it is expected, will therefore be threshed out at this trial. It will be asserted, it is said, that disclosures regarding the al leged conduct of his wife and Annis had driven Captain Hains into mental irre sponsibility, and that Thornton could not be made to share the responsibility for the act of a madman. Judge Frederick Crane of the supreme court will hear the case. District Attorney Ira Darrin and special prosecutor Elmer White will ap pear for the stato and John F. Mclntyre, former assistant district attorney of .New, lork county, assisted by Joseph Shay, will represent the defense. This is the second time that Thornton Hains has faced a jury under charges of murder. In 1891, while canoeinir with a boyhood chum, Edward A. Hannigan, on rorixess Munroe, lie became involved in a quarrel in which Hannigan lost his life. Hains was seen from shore to reach to the bottom of the boat and raise a re volver from which two shots were fired. Hannigan used a paddle in the quarrel. One of the witnesses at the trial was Hear Admiral Robky Evans. A plea of self defense resulted in a verdict of acquittal, SAW CHILDREN BURN. Four Small and Helpless Beings Roast ed to Death.

PRESIDENT HOLDS GROUND In the Brownsville Case Bu Reiterates Belief THE GUILT OF THE NEGROES Roosevelt Submitted Special Message to the Senate To-day on Subject Recommends Leniency to tho Innocent. Washington, D. C. Dee. 14. Presl dent Itoosevelt sent to the Senate to day a special Brownsville message do nouncimr the neirro soldiers and re-de daring their guilt, but recommending law allowing the secretary of war within a year to reinstate any he finds innocent and taoso who hare done iu their power to aid In the punish nent of those who were Builty. Ho submits a long statement of invesliga mm by the war orace detectives. President Itoosevelt saysi "I enclose herewith a letter from the Secretary of War transmitting a report of the investigation made by Sir, IBerbert'J. Browne, employed by the department is conjunction with Capt. W. G. Baldwin to investigate as tar as possible what happened at Brownsville on- the 13tfe and 14th of August, 1900. Tne report and doou ments contajin some information of great value and some statements that are obviously worthless, but I submit their in their entirety." ihis report ens bits us to fix with tolerable dcflnitenesa at laast some of the criminals who took the lead in the murderous snooting of private citizens at Brownsville. It establishes clearly itta fact that the colored soldiers did the shootingj but upon this point fur ther record was unnecessary, as the fact that the colored soldiers did the shooting, has already been established beyond all possibility of doubt. The investigation las not cone far enouch to enable ua to determine all the facts, and we will proceed with It; but it has gone far enough to determine with mimoient. aoruraer certain facts of en ough importance to make it advisable that I place the report before you. It rp pears that almost all the members of Company B must have been actively concerned In tlie shooting, either to the extent of being partioipants or to the extent oi viruatty encouraging those who were participants. As to Oni panics C and D, there can be no que t.ion tnat practically every man in them most have bad knowledge that the shooting was -done by some of the soldiers of U Troop, and possibly by one or two others in one of the other troops. The concealment was itself a grave offenses, which was greatly ag gravated by their testifying before tne benate ommnattee that Miey were ia norma nt of what hey must have known." ''Nevertheless, it is to be said in par tial extenuation that they were prob ably cowed by threats, made by the more desperate or the men who 'had actually been engaarod in the shoolinsr. as to what would happen to any man who faded to protect the wrongdoers. Moreover, there are circumstances tend ing to show that these misguided men wore Vuceuraged by outsiders to per sist in their course ef concealment and denial. I feel, therefore, that the guilt of the men who, after the event, teus shielded the perpetrators of the wrong by refusing to tell the truth about tli em, tuoucrt grfpous. was in part due to the unwise and improper attitude of others, and tbat some measure of allowance should be made for the misconduct. In other words. I believe we can afford to reinstate any of these men who now truthfully teil what aas happened, give all the aid they can to fis the responsibility upon those who are really guilty, and show that they themselves had no knowledflje beforehand and were in no way impli cated in the affair, save by having knowledge ef it afterwards and failing and refusing to divulge it." tnder the circumstances, and in view of the length of time they have been out of the servjoe, and their loss of the benefit that would nave accrued to them by continuous lonir-time service, we can afford to treat the men who meet the requirements iriven above as havinjr been sufficiently punished by the consequences they brought upon themselves when they rendered necessary the exercise of the disciplinary power. I recommend that a law be parsed allowing the secretary of war, within a fixed period of time, say a year, to reinstate any of these soldiers whom he, after careful examination, finds to have been innocent and whom he finds to haved one all in his power to help bring to justice the guilty. Meanwhile the investigation will be continued. The results have made it ob vious that only by carrying on the inves tigation as the war department han actu- lly carried it on, is there the slightest chance of bringing the offenders to jus- ice or of separating not the innocent. for there were doubtless hardlv anv' in nocent, but the less guilty from those whose guilt was heinous.

RAILROADS TAX TOO LOW Thinks the Vermont House of Representatives IMPORTANT BILL FAVORED It Proposes to Increase the Tax on Rail roads to 1 12.50 on the Thousand Senate Did Not Meet Until Afternoon To-day. State nonse, Deo. 14. The House taught the Senate a lesson in diligence by giong into session at ten o'clock this morning, whilo the Senate did not convene until this afternoon. The House in its early Monday session passed nine bills, tilhd three, and or dered two Othrs to a third reading. Mr. Howe of St. Juhnshury got two of his bills advanced to a third reading that affect the railroads in no small decree. The first, House bill 353, in- creaaes the tax on railroads from $3.00 on the thousand to $12.00 on the thou sand and makes the computation on the appraised value. The second repeals the section giving the railroad the option to pay taxei on the gross earnings. Both of these bills came t the House on ad verse reports from the committee on railroads. Mr. Howe of Rt. Johnsbury Inquired of some member of the railroad committee if it wero nofc true that the report of the tax commissioner on taxation rates sliowed that the railroads were paying less than one-half the average rate of taxation on property in the state. Mr. Williams of Newport explained that the committee hsd nothin? to show whether the railroads were paving their just part of the taxation or not and that he thought the bill should have been re ported to the taxation committee. He did say, however, that the corporations were taxed to meet the state expenses and that the committee reported it un favorably, as they did not have evidence t there was need of a lusher rate. Mr. Howe of St. Johnsbury stated that the report of the commissioner of taxes showed that the average rate in the state was $18.70 on the thousand and that the' rate the railroads were paying was MM. Mr. Tiiden of Xortlifwld be lieved the bill should pass and that there usls no good reason whv the rail roads M'Uld not pay the same rates on a thousand dollars worth of property as anybody else. .Mr. JJavis or s-pnnghrUl called fttten tion to the fact that the committee on wavs and means had notified the House that they must go liaht on appronria tions. Ho didnt believe it was right to threaten the state with a direct tax and let the railroads ao at half price House bill 3.Vi also passed, there being but a few dissenting votes in comparison With those voting lor the measure. One important measure, passed this morning, was II. one, which allows sav ings banks and savings institutions to pay dividends not to exceed 4 per cent. if they have a surplus fund of five per cent, of their deposits. Mr. iwlioer in quired if the committee had looked into the matter to see it this per cent, ot surplus guaranteed safety to depositors, and Air. Davis of bpnnglieid suid that the committee had looked into the ques tion and believed that it did. Mr. Howe of St. Johnsbury said that in order to pay four per cent, now, several strong savings banks had to have ten per cent, in surplus, and some of them did not quite couie up to this. The trust companies had no restrictions and he did not believe that the, savings banks should be prevented from paying this per cent, if they could do if and were willing. MV. Bacon of Hartford believed that the safety of the public demanded a 10 per cent, surplus and that the banks in this state could not afford to pay four per cent. The mil reads as toiiowsi "After the accumulation of a surplus fund of five per cent, of their deposits. and after adding to cush surplus fund not less than one-eighth of one per cent, of the average amount of their deposits for the preceding six months, the trus tees may declare from the net earnings such semi-annual dividends, not exceed ing two per cent., as in their judgment the assets of the banks and the net income thereof shall warrant." House bill 107 was passed. This bill came in an amended form from the tem perance committee. It is Ma-. Locklin's bill. Mr. Howe of "Bennington stated that it is a bard bill on the holders of second class licenses and that it means practically that they can do little busi ness out of their own town. Somebody suggested that Mr. Locklin was absent and that it would be a good plan to take up the bill when he was present, but Mr. Howe, of St. Johnsbury suggested that the speaker had warned the members that the bills would uc taken up on .Mon day in their order, whether the authors were present or not. The bill allowing interchange of mile age book coupons with this stato on roads charging the same price was pa?sed and tho bill which allows fishing of pick erel through the ice. According to this bill, no one person shall have more than ten sot lines nor ehall take more than fifteen pounds in one day. Read Third Time and Passed.

ARREST MADE IN MURDER Fred Brown Denies Having Killed Fred Chappell KILLING WAS COWARDLY Three Bullet Wounds In Back and Head of Victim, Whose Body Waa Found Saturday Night in Tows In Northern New Hampshire. FRAMING NEW BILL To Present to Legislature on Proposed Change of River-bed. The city council held a special meet ing Saturday afternoon, at which time the council met a committee from the abutters and a conference was held in rtiferd to the proposed change of the course of the stream back of the business blocks on North Main street. The coun cil was fully represented and the abut ters were represented bv a committee composed of 1). 51. Miles and W G. Key nobis. Attorneys K. A. Hoar for the abutters and If. G. Shurtleff of Mont pelsVr, attorney for the Earre railroad. were a ho present. A bill which had been drawn by CStv Attorney J. Ward Carver, and which it is proposed to present to the legislature was discussed and some changes recom mended. Ihe bill is in the form of petiton to allow the city of Barre to condemn certain Jands back of the busi ness blocks belonging to the Barre and Central Vermont railroad companies for highway purposes. The bill as drawn gives, under tho common law, this right to the fctseet commissioners, if it is passed, and Attor ney Hoar suggested an amendment. The proposed amendment gave the sole au thority of the propsed change to the city council to condemn or not the land as in the discretion of the council seemed best. -v A collective bond had been presented to the abutters and others interested in the proposed change, asking them to as sumo responsibility for tne expense of the project, with the exception of $5,000, wmcn the city agreed to pay. On this proposition, D, M. Miles reported that he for one would be unwillinir to si any such collective bond, but said that he was willing to sign individually for a snare or the expense proportionate to the Ijeneflt which he would derive from the change, and felt that others would do the same. The council then went into executive session. JJuring the latter session it was decided to leave the bill in the hands of the city attorney for redrafting and in corporating such changes as were deemed n-?esan. 'the city council will meet again to-night on the same matter. KICKED IN THE STOMACH. Peter LeClair Was Shoeing a Refrac tory Horse at The Time.

Inspects Oil Works and Talks Philosophy With Motorman. Cleveland, O., IX-c, 14. Unexpectedly and unheralded, John P. Rockefeller ar rived in Cleveland Saturday from New York. The oil magnates visited his downtown residence for the first time in years and strolled about the nil works at East Thirtieth street and the Nickel plate tracks, where he first set up businese as an oil reflrier. He also rode in a street car to Forest Hill, his East Cleveland estate, tramped about the place for two hours with the caretaker and returned to his home to pass the night. What hd to the visit of Mr. Rocke feller to Cleveland at this time, an un uaual proceeding, is not known, nor could it be learned how long he would remain.

Mr. Rockefeller paid his three-cent fare like the other passengers and then stepped into the motorman's vestibule, introducing himself to Motorman Miller. Miller offered to give tip his stool to the millionaire, but Mr. Rockefeller told hira he did not need it. "I'd like to 1 able to run this ear as ymi are doing," said Mr. Rockefeller to Miller. "You can have my job any time you wish it," replied the motorman cheer-fullr. Millionaire and motorman talked near ly all the way to Fifty-fifth street, where Mr. Rockefeller came inside the car and sat down. Mr. Rockefeller dropped into philosophy, and when the motorman in terjected a remark about the qualities of sucoess, the oil man said: "Sucecsi is simply doing something better than anyone else has been able to do it."

TIER BAKItE DAILY TIMES, DECEMBER 11, 1003. The Rugged Prospectors. Copyright, by American Press Aaio- nation. This la true story. It happened In 1SC5, "There's no way, Becker, tor us to keep soul and body together till spring eicept to go luto the mountains and cut wood." "Ana rrceio our fingers and our noses and our feet. Ws wpj as well starve to death." 4 "It won't be long. This la the early part of January. The spring '11 be along In a couple of mouths, and we can go to prospecting again. "Prospecting? How tnauy years have I been digging holes In the ground for nothing. I tell you. Trim mer, I'm through with prospecting, and as soon as I can get a regular Job I'm going to take It" "But you caa't get a Job Just now, and we've nothing to eat Come, cheer up. It's always darkest before day." The two ragged, discouraged men climbed the mountains of Calaveras county, Cul. There was a chance of their making some thirty or forty dol lars a month, on which they could easily live and buy some clothes, but It was a sad come-down from the roseate dreams with which. they had begun to hunt for a fortune. They found an old abandoned miner's cabin, lil which they made their home, a dispiriting place la which to live, for it was a' perpetual reminder of an other's failure. But they were not hunt ing for gold In this region; they were keeping themselves alive. Every morning as soon' as It was light the sound of their axes rang In the wood and continued till the early winter twilight came on. Cord after cord was stacked up, each cord repre senting days of hard labor. Meanwhile a snowstorm came down oa them and covered the ground to a depth of two foet. The prediction as to frozen mombers was not verified, for there was plenty of wood to keep up a fire. "We've got such a pile of brush here from chopped off branches," said Trim mer to bis partner one afternoon, "that we'd better get rid of It" So they touched a flame to it, and it was soon roaring and crackling, send ing out a pleasant heat. It melted the snow beneath it and left an area of hot ground. "Here's a good chance for a roast,' said Becker. "I'm going to make an oven in this hot earth, and we'll cook our deer meat." "A good Idea," replied Trimmer. "We haven't any currant Jelly, but the haunch will taste pretty good without It." So Becker began to dig a hole for the baking. At the depth of two feet be struck a bed of rock. "(jooaT ne exclaimed, "it shot stone and will keep its heat Give me the meat." The venison was brought in a bak ing pan, and Trimmer was about to place it in the hole when Becker stop ped him. "Hold on till I chip off a piece of the atone to see what it's like," he said. "I thought you were through with prospecting," Trimmer remarked satir ically. "So I am. This isn't prospecting It's only yielding to a habit. Any man who has been hunting in the earth as ng as we have will want to see everything he takes out." He broke off a bit of his oven bed, the venison was placed in the hole and covered over, and the two men listened to the welcome sound of Its sizzling. Becker took the piece of rock into his cabin, where' he lighted a candle, for it was how dark and the brash had burned to cinders. Trimmer was over .the oven basting the venison when he heard his partner call "Come here, Trim." Trimmer went to the cabin where Becker was holding the chipping of rock to the candle. "What do you think of that?" asked Becker, his eyes standing out of his head as big as butter plates "What do I think of it!. Why, great Scott, man; it's live reck!" "That's what it Is," replied Becker; "nothing more nor less that is, if know live rock when I see it and think I do." "Shake!" shouted Trimmer. "We've truck it, and struck it bis." It was a supper of another kind from roasted venison that the partners par took of a probable realization of their vanished wild dreams. The meat was savory, but their minds were not on it. They were laying plans. Experience had taught them what to do. They would keep their secret They would pre-empt their claim. They would learn the dip angle and the length and breadth of their newly discovered ledge. Spring catae, and the partners were still ostensibly cutting wood, while i hey were really gathering informa tion. One day Berker went down Into li9 valley, appeared at an assay office, handed in .the chip of roct he had bro ken from the floor of his improvised oven and left it to have it assayed. IIe ?rent back to the assayers the next i.v. got his report and started up the mountain. Trimmer saw him coming, t ut so cautious were .the men In guard Ing their secret that he withheld in quiry till both were in the cabin and the door closed. "Well?" he asked impatiently. "Six hundred dollars to the ton." "Rich, by thunder!" Such is the story of the discovery of the famous Trojan mine. Within a year from the time when Henry Beck er dug an oven in which to cook a Launch of venison he and John I Trimmer bd more than realized their wildest dreams. HELEN 1NGLEHEART. ANOTHER TRIP TO PANAMA President-Elect Taft Wants Very Auch to Go TANGLES TO STRAIGHTEN The President-elect Is Likely to With Mrs. Taft, in January Many Distinguished Callers. Go, WILLIAM'S KIDNEY PILLS. Washington, Dec. 14. William II, Taft, president-elect, contemplates visit to Panama before his inaugura tion. This visit Is approved by President hoowvelt and becrctary Root. 'While it has not been Anally deter mined upon, Mr. Taft announced Sat urday night that it was his Intention to go. hiioulu this he his final decision he will lmve the port of Charleston. 8, C, probably the last week in January 1- Ml ior a wip wmvn win occupy approxi matfily 20 days. There are many reasons. In Mr. Taft's view, why n trip to the isthmus would be of decided advantage to the cdvaneement of the canal project and consequently to the Unuitcd States. President Roosevelt's visit proved decided stimulus to the work and the three visits which Mr. Taft has made as secretary of war all were of advan lage. Mr., Taft feels that this is praetl cally his only opportunity to visit the isthmus during his forthcoming term as president. (He has not only a keen interest in the work, but an intimate knowledge of the details of the itu tion and with the personnel of those conducting tne operations there. Tho visit, which he is decidedly in- jiicnnea 10 mane, would put cim in di ret personal contact with the situa tion and would give him a clear and up-to-date idea of the methods being empioyca in me prosecution of the work. The journey, if made, would un doubtedly. be on one of the navy's best ships, and Mrs. Taft, who made the first visit to Panama with Mr. Taft four years, ago, would without doubt accompany him this time. The only objection to the expedition, which has been pointed out by careful students of the law and constitution, is that, nendimr the official iWlnratinn of Mr. Taft as President-elect by the action of the electoral college and his inauguration as rresident. there is no constitutional or legal provision for the substitution of anyone else in the event of anything happening to him in i .mama. POTTED PLANTS. Like Caged Birds, They Require Much Attention, riant s in pots may be compared to caged birds, both being in unnatural conditions. Their requirements- must be filled or the results will be unsatis factory. A free bird or a free plant, having the air, or mother earth around them, can resist wind and dust and dryness, and many other things that interfere with growth; but when in cages or pots they are entirely at the mercy of those who own them. Birds generally' fare better than plants. For it is not uncommon to see plants in windows and on railintrs of verandas clay after day, exposed to sun, winds and dryness; the pots are porous and t ho roots of tho plants are close against the sides; they soon become hard and dry and incapable of transmitting sup plies to mo leaves ana stems. xne plant itself, exposed to winds and dry ness, reaches a pitible condition and life soon becomes a matter of simple endurance, depending entirely upon its powers of resistance. The supply of water is often deficient, the dry pot absorbing a great deal, and most of the" water running clown on the out side of the bail, the centre of the ball being drv. rot plants growing in exposed places should have double pots or pot covers, much injury being done by the expos ure of the porous clay of the pots to drying influences. There are certain plants that can bear exposure to ad verse influences frr better than oth ers. Among them are yuccas, aloes. fourcroyas, palms, asparacus. spren- geri and a few other plants with thick, leathery leaves, Tlants in pots should never be allowed to become drv.

If these are destrov ed by drying or decayed by ovcrwaler- ng the source of supply is cut off from the plant. It has to put out new roots before it can regain its vigor. Hence the importance of care in watering. JSew or dry pots should be soaked m water before potting plants, so as to tul the pores, or they will absorb mois ture from the soil and dry out the roots. It is a good plan to protect otted plants with covers or set them inside of a second pot to keep the plant from sun or draught. Covers can be made of rice mattings and various oth er materials, or pot covers can be pur-" chased readv made. Plant rooted cuttings in two and two and one-half inch pots and repot into r.rger sires as the pots fill up with oots. Small plants should never be nit into large pots, but advanced as they gain size and strenght. If over potted the. soil becomes sodden before lie plant grows large enough to re quire room.

ADE'S ROMANCE MERE MYTH. Reported, Engagement to Elsie Janis a Joke. Chicago, Dec. 14, Ceorge Ade left Saturday afternoon for a trip nronnd the world, a bachelor and heart free, and not as the iiance of Miss EKie Janis, despite a double barrelled ru mor to tlie contrary. In tracing the report which joined Mr. Ade and Miss Janis in prospective wedlock, it was found that it bad iis source at a liUlc supper given et the Chicago Aliletio association Thursday night after Miss Janis had finished her ni'at's work as "the fair co-ed." t-omeone in jest suggested that Mr. Ade. prior to his departure for Europe, Rhittff.l Unjnoii'K'J his enigenient fo Miss Janis. iiome of the'geusls pres ent took the announcement seriously. ''It's a joke, of course," said Mr. Arle, "but it's no joke with me. It's a chest nut. Now personally. I would not mind it. but rumors of that sort place the young woman wlioe names are mentioned in a falc light," One of the plans received by Mr. Ade pii:t to his departure was the building ol a theatre on Brook farm, vtoere lie j intenJi to jproduce all his plays. Or BI4CX OTTOMAN BIIiE. and himself. So the other day thesa two dabblers in stocks hied them eelves to a Broadway leather shop which, after "purveying" to the king of England, graciously lets America have some of the leftovers at greatly advanced prices. It was crass idiocy of Dick to turn a man with the right idea of appointments loose in this shop. But It's not up to me to reason why. Tou know what happened. Of course you do, dear. Mr. W., quite by chance, picked up the latest and most expensive suit case in the place, com monplace enough looking on the out sidethe usual pigskin but, vanity of vanities, a traveling dressing table in side Not content with the ordinary bestowal of toilet articles in a strap ped row all about the inside of tho case, this addition de luxe had the latest "fitting" wrinkle, a leather easol, on which were hung all the bottles, brushes, manicure tools, etc, one never has time to use on a hur ried suit case trip. WTiat advantage Is the easel? First, to quote the shop man I dropped In yesterday to se Dick's financial Waterloo "tho weight Is evenly distributed In the bottom of the case.' and the easel can bo lifted out at the end of the journey and sot up on the dressing tnWo." Dick Is a dead game sport, so, seeing hi9 finish, he was determined to die smiling and suggested th.it a solid sil ver traveling clock be added to the sterling military brushes, ov.il mirror and other appointments. His courage mounting with the occasion, he or dered a case for neckties to be fitted In one corner cf the case, and, would you believe it, a silver jewelry box was anchored on the other Fidel Oh, yes, nnd thnt nervy man objected to the razor that came with the set aad had an extra sr.fcty one that costs 55 put In!

SlltS TUB, ioee of pleasantry did not meet with juthuslastlc applause. But some day soon, wbery Dick gets over the aching; void in his poeketbook, I'm going to refresh bis memory about old Phil Armour, the Chicago packer, who one pay, being In a generous mood, called his bead clerk and told him to have all the men in his Immediate office go to a certain clothing firm and be meas ured for suits at his expense. One man thought he would make hay whlis the sun shone, and, needing a dress suit, he was measured for an expen sive one. When the bills were sent to Mr. Armour he noticed this ono ninety defer evening suit and rang for the man who had ordered it When be appeared he was shown the bill. "Yes, sir, that's all right; much obliged to you." The pork king looked hlra over and said, "Young man, la my day I have killed a number of pigs, but this is the first ono I've dressed." Now, having eased my mind, I am going to give you a tip on the turbans of tho moment There Is a sudden dhange In the aspect of Fifth avenue. Gone is the uninterrupted procession of hats thirty-eight inches in circum ference, tho kind disagreeable old la dies sigh over and hint at as being' only another sign of degeneracy in the young. No; the appearance of the C o'clock drees parade has changed, as far as- mDlinery Is concerned, in the last e!ght days, and we are more re markable than ever. These turbans, my dear, are nothing like tho affairs of former years, and banish at once the idea from your economical mind that you can bring out some beautiful shapes that you looked charming in the last time small hats were in fash ion, for you can't Today yards and yards of material velvet, fur, swans down, mclusine, hairy cloth are re quired to manufacture the modish toque.

A slice of lemon or a akin from which the Juice has been squeez ed rubbed on the bands will remove stains of all kinds. As a nail cleanser equal portions of lemon Juice and al cohol helps to remove stains. Tt should be applied upon absorbent cotton wound round a sharpened orange stick. At night the bands should be K be rally anointed with a toilet cream and loose white cotton gloves vora to save the bedclotbing. Lemon juice will cleanse other things besides the skin. Copper may be clean ed by rubbing with a lemon skin and salt. It should be wiped at once witb a cloth or chamois. Iron rust and ink stains may be removed from linen by rubbing with lemon juice and salt and then exposing the spot to the sun. For fevertahness and unnatural thirst soften a lemon by rolling it on some hard surface, cut off the top, add sugar, working It down into the lemon with a fork; then slowly sock the lemon.

MS 174 North Main St. Barre. Vt. of THE VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD, In justice to several of the companies the Vermont National Guard which ware scored by the inspecting officer, Lieut. Chapman, in the report published throughout the state on Saturday, it should be stated that the report was on the condition of the companies at the time of inspection last March, or nearly a i-ear ago. Since that time there have been many changes either in the person nel of the companies or in their commis sinned officers; go that newspaper read crs need to bear in mind that conditions arc not as had at present as the report painted them to be. The Vermont Na tional Guard is in none too satisfactory shape, and it therefore should be given thii credit of whatever improvement there been made during tho time since Liput. Chapman made his' report to the war department. Nevertheless the fact remains obvious that the V, N, O. was allowed to sink to a low ebb as regards some of its parts. A STATE TAX OrMTSSI0N. At tho bame. time that Vermont Is con sidering the advisability of having a state tax commission to systematize tax ation throughout the state, New Hamp shire is also agitating the same thing, and its special investigating committee lias recommended the establishment pt a commission, just as the Vermont inve-' tigators did several months ago. The wit to establish a state commission is still in the hands of tho legislature and its fate seems to hang in the balance. If there be any weight in the fact that New ITampihire is after the same thing which Vermont has a chance to get, the measure ought to be given an impetus in the Vermont legislature that will in sure its passage.

It comes to this: the Vermont legis lature must do something with the ques tion of taxation this term, or merit the charge of having shifted responsibility in remedying crying evils. One of the least things that it can do will lie to create a state tat rommlitsion which shall have supervision and jurisdiction over the pet ty sytema of local taation in the 2-18 towns of the state, which are now about as varied as the towns them-tclves and woefully complex. There are also a great many evils, as the special investigating committee pointed out in its comprehen sive report. To do away with these evils and to place the entire scheme of taxation on a systematic basis is one of the promises of the proposed change, and we can well afford to try it out. j CURRENT COMMENT, j Harvard's Next President The belief, grows in Boston that the presidency of Harvard university has lien offered Jtame J. SHorrow, one of tho board of overseers, and a mem ber of the banking hon of Lee, Ilirr- ginson Co. It is known that the corporation has decided upon Prei dent .bliot s successor, but the name will be withheld until the overseers of the university shall have time to art. Tho suppression, of course, is that the man chosen by the corporation will be agreeable to the overseers. Mr. htor row is a graduate of Harvard, trained to the law and in practice before he he came an ablfl man of business, and the fact that he is the head of Boston's reorganized school hoard has given evi dence of his intelligent and practical interest in cdueatlonatl matters. His lack of training in college teaching would not be looked upon as an in surmountable objection. He would make a forceful and wide-looking exe cutive of the sort Dr. Eliot and the rest are looking for, and could be ex pected to master the academic side of the office. Springfield Republican. The Fanam Matter. Lawyer Cromwell's statement is to I welcomed, for it traces the distribution of the $40,000,000 by the French liquid ators of the old and new Panama canal companies much farther than has ever been done before, it appears worn this that several thousands of stockholders received money according to their hold ings; and the lists of the stockholders, according to Mr. Cromwell, are still in France.. By examining them, an inquirer ought to be able to determine whether Americans held Panama canal stock and to what extent. The lists remain to be scrutinized, and it might be suggested to the New York .World that it would be a good stroke of enterprise to send an agent to.Paris, with a letter of intro duction from Mr. Cromwell, for the pur pose of examining the stockholders lists if the French officials will permit such a proceeding. Until that is dona, it is to be feared that the suspicion of American ownership of a certain amount of Pan ama stock will remain more or less alive. Let the suspicion be killed forever by opening the books. Springfield Republican. LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

CASTRO MAKES STATEMENT. Gives an Interview to a FVench Newa paper Yesterday. Paris, Dec. 14. President Castro of Venezuela and his party left here yesterday for Cologne where a consul tation of physicians will be held to de termine upon the advisability of an operation on the president. If an op eration is found necessary Dr. Israel probably will jierform it at Berlin. During his stay in the city, Castro kept closely confined to his hotel, re fusing to give wit statement to news paper men etnept through some mem ber of his suite. On the train yester day, however, he accorded an interview to a representative of the Temps, say ing that as he was leaving France he t It at liberty to receive a journalist. The interview, while guarded, fully con h'ritH the representations made by (Vs tro at Suntander, to the effect, that he was desirous of settling Venezula's outxtanding diplomatic differences and, so far as France is concerned, had al ready made the first steps in that di rection. He said, however, that every thing for tho moment must be subor dinated to the restoration of his health and that ho would submit to an exami nation in (iernwriv on which be would depend the question of a surgical oper ation or merely 'medical treatment, lie added that he might return to Paris. While avoiding a direct question as to what ho expected to do toward set lting Venezuela's foreign quarrels, point irg out that as tae "private citizen le W'as not qualified to answer, he made it clear that the resumption of diplomatic relations with France de fended entirely upon the settlement of the French eabJe company contro versy. I "It is lnrontestible be said "that tne I rench cable cojnpany was an accom plice against tny government in the Slntos resolution," 'But that did not justify the expul sion of M. Taigny, the French charge d.'affairs." said the interviewer. "iu this, as in other difference with the powers." replied President Castro, Venezuela only defended herself." "But there is also tho matter of the French subjects at Caruepano" continu ed the interviewer. "I took occasion when I touched there, said Cue president, "to authorize their return. That, is sufficient evi dence of my desire for a reconciliation." "And the payment of the diplomatic debt tinder the Hague award." "The payment has not eeased," re marked Castro. "In default of a French representative at Caracas, the monthly payments have been deposited in tho state bank of Venezuela. In response to a question as to why he had refused to allow the Brazilian legation to act for France. President Castro replied: "Because Brazil has charge of the interests of the United States, and in the interest of the good relations and solidarity of the Ameri can republic to look after the affairs of an European power." In conclusion President Castro twice repeated that Venezuela desired peace and harmony with France and the oth er powers, 'but declared emphatically, that epace and harmony were, depend ent upon others as well as Venezuela.

SYSTEMATIC WORK BY STATE AND NATION Needed to Eradicate Tuberculosis from Animals, Reported Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson To-dsy. Washington, D. C, Dee, 14. Ses'retary Wilson of the department of agriculture reported to-day that the farm value of all farm products of 15)06 rearhea the in of t extraordinary total in the nation's history $7,778,000,00. This is about four times the value of tho products of the mines, including mineral oil and precious metals. The farmer contributes 87 per cent, of the raw materials used in those manufacturing industries which depeod mostly or considerably upon ag ricultural materials, and these industries us 42 per cent, of all materials used in all industries. The gain in value of farm products in 1908 over 1!)07 is $290,000,000 and would have ben much larger had not the price of cotton and hay been low. The value of product in 1809. the census year, being taken at 100, the value for 1U03 stands at PiV, for 104, at 131; for 1905, at 134; for liKXi, at 143; for 1007, at 15!; and for 1WS, at 165. Dur ing the lat ten years the wealth produc tion on the farms of this country has exoeeded the fabulous sura of foO.OOO, 0O0.00O. On the subject of tuberculosis in ani mals. Secretary Wilson report: Matistics show tnat tubercujosi in animal is on the increase. A "recent estimate, based on the meat inspection and tho revords of the tuberculin test, shows; beef cattle affected, 1 per cent.; nogs, 2 per cent.; dairy eattltt. 10 per renu me nuaneiai loss to stockmen and dairymen is estimated to be fully $14, 000,000 per annum. "Tuberculosis can be eradicated"" from our animals only by mean of systematic worK ot ttie lederal and state authorities in co-operation. In order to discover the disease the tuberculin test fchould be systematically applied.- The safest way of disposing of affected animals is to have- them slaughtered at abattoirs hav ing competent veterinary inspection. Es pecially valuable animals, however, mkht be kept for breeding purposes under the Bang system of segregation, 'It has been feund that cows seeming ly in good health, but which had reacted to the tuberculin test, were expslling myriads of tubercle bacilli in their feces. In ordinary dairy practice particles of this soil get into the milk. Analyses of market milk supplied to a city have dis closed that one sample in twenty was in fected with tubercle bacilli, and experi mental work with butter showed that the germs will remain' virulent jn the ordinary salted kind for nearly six months.

This has been going on for years, and for this reason the good, handsome horses of Kentucky have usually been appreciated, tbelr history traced and their descendants accounted for. If the same careful attention to points of conformation and action bad been shown fifty years ago by Morgan breeders in New England and bad there been displayed the same enthu siasm for and loyalty to a valuable local type of horses there would now be no necessity for government aid to save tbe Morgan from destruction. If horsemen In the limestone sections of the corn belt had paid less atten tion to tbe speed records of the stal lions in their localities arid more to their individuality tbe carriage horse work of tbe department of agriculture would be out of place. Specific work in horse breeding by the United States government was first made possible by tbe Inclusion la the appropriation act for tbe fiscal year ended June 80, 1905, of an Item of $25,000 for experiments In animal breeding and feeding in co-operation with state agricultural experiment stations. The reasons for taking up tbe breeding of carriage horses have been fully set forth In various publications, in articles for the press and In public addresses, but a recapitulation here may not be out of order. Briefly stated, they were: That carriage horses are, as a rule, the most valuable class on the market, that as a result of the strong demand the supply was gradually diminishing and that, not withstanding all the Importations of the carriage type from abroad, the preferred horse was the American horse. Most important of all, how- ever, was trie reeling tnat steps should be taken to correct the practice of castrating valuable stallions nnd selling valuable mares for other than aWMaWaajsBa wjg-sr f"'"fj''n yyi ryfgyyii' sws boils asid Overcoats For Men At a big redilction in the Great 'Necessity Clearance Sale now going' on at THE ARCADE, Corner Main anl Pearl Streets, .Carre, Vt.

A third belyt of nictamorphio rock occurs in thn northern pert of Alaska, and its continuation is found in the Seward Peninsula. Over 07 per cent of the value of Alaska's mineral production has come from these three belts of nut amorphic rock. "The. most important centres of plac er mining are the Yukon-Tanana region and Seward Peninsula. These two pro vinces, have an annual production of nearly $16,000,000.

Though the coal fields of Al aska lie onlv twenry-five miles from the coast, the Pacific seaboard offers no pood harbors. Flans Sare Son foot for the construction of breakwater near Katalla, which, are proposed to connect bv railroad with the coal fields. Another plan is to construct a line from Cordova Bar, which means 100 miles of traek. The coal of Alaska is highly in fuel value than any coal west of tho Rocky mountains. T)r.

He diclared that Alaska mining was beinj hampered bv expensive transportation that railroad were very few, and that the river ahippeing seasons were neces sarily short. He declared that mining would be almost impossible were the claims not very rich. "As a matter of fact there are very extensive areas of aurifrmia alluvium which cannot, now be handled ata -profit because of the bight cost of opera tion. These can be reduced by the in troduction of machinery and skilled engineers, which are sadlv lacking in most Alaskan mitiinsf enterprise. But for any material reduction it will be necessary to establish systems of transportation. Those whne famil iaritv with the mineral resources of Alaska s've them a right to an opin ion believ that there in Iiere a large field for -mining which can only he de veloped by the construction of a rail road from the Pacific seaboard to the Yukon basin. The time will come when we will have several trunk lines with many branches, making all the mineral bearing parts of the territory neeessibl at all times. These scheme may ap pear visionaryi but when we reflect that Alaska, with ia primitive systems of transportation, has already added to the world's ewalth to the extent of over $150,000,000, there seems to be some justification for this opinion."

"I knew I should ride, a winner this afternoon," said J. Plant, the well known jockey after he had steered Arraniuorc, an outsider, first past the winning post in the race for tho Great Tom Plsio at Lincoln a few day ago. "I bought a piebald rat this morning for sixpence, and regnrd the animal as an emblem of good link. I have christened it Arran more, and it alii accompany me wherever I may be riding." And Plant is by no means the only jockey who is superstitious. As a mat ter of fact, most jockeys carry talismans in one form or another. These range from bits of straw and liorseskln, ac quired in some curious manner, to jew eled whins and diamond pins presented by grateful and generous onwer. A certain Newmarket stable appren ties, who has ridden several winners this year, never rides without holding in his mouth a piece of straw, about 3 inches long, which he found In the stable one day on the back of the first horse he was asked to ride in a race. 'For some unaccountable reason he regarded the piece of straw as an omen of good luck, more particularly after ho won that flrft race. Bits of the skin of famous racehorses of the past are very much prir.ed by su perstitious jockeys, who would as soon think of riding" without a saddle as without this peculiar talisman. Ana if a bit of skin cannot be obtained, the jockey contents himself with a few of the hairs out of a famous racehorse's tail. One well known jockey ,wii in the habit and, so far as the writer is aware, he continues the habit to-day of carry ing a small prayer book in his riding jacket. Quite a romantic story is at tached to this mascot. It was sent to the jockey by an old lady, who, requiring a certain sum of money to aid ber daugh ter, and not knowing where to get it, had suddrnly seised with the idea of backing the horse ridden by this jockey. She got a friend to make the bet, and, the horse winning, she obtained all thi money sho required. Two or three days later the jockey received the little prayer book, with a note explaining the circum stances, and saying it was the old lady' first and last bet. But she would never forget the jockey, and asked him to ac cept the prayer book as an emblem of good luck. "And," said the jockey, some time ago, I firmly believe it baa been my pod talisman, for I have been won derfully aueceasful since 1 received it." Tit-iata.
