Itelatlo.it With the ltnptlit Church In tlili VIIIhrc. Ex-Gov. Fuller was among tho prlmo movers In tho establishment and organiza tion of tho Baptist church In West Brattle boro. Ho was ono of tho 10 original mem bers constituting that church. In com pany with Uev. L. J. Mattcson, then pastor of tho First Baptist church, and others, ho gavo much of his best tlmo and strength, In tho years when tho society was but a mission. From tho summer of 1872, and on for the period of 10 years, his Sabbath attendance was regular. Ho was tho first superintendent the Sunday school had, and so great was the efficiency and Interest manifest by him that, when In later years tho pressuro of business mado his visits less frequent, the placo of honorary super intendent was ascribed unto him. Ho filled the placo also of chairman of the ex ecutive committee, of the church, and his advlso and counsel at all times were found to be wise. But even In later years, whoa cares multiplied, his Interest did not slack en. Two or three visits each year were always expected, and Christmas time was not complete without his presence When In tho excitement of business, he always had time to rccetvu a representative of tho West Brattleboro society and speak most kindly of the Interests there, which evi dently lay very near his heart. At his funeral each of tho 103 members of tho church wero represented In, a whlto carna tion which, gathered Into a large bouquet, personated a grateful tribute to his blessed memory. At the church In Brattleboro space was reserved wherein -10 of tho mem bers of the church together listened to the last funeral rites, and afterward followed their faithful helper to his last resting place. Arnilcmy IVf.tes. A junior foot ball 11 has been formed during the past week with Allen captain and Frank Johnson manager. Tho Eclectic society held Its regular meeting Wednesday. The program open ed with a recitation which was very fav orable and well rendered by Miss Coano.

There are said to bo over 400 pianos In Durango that were carried upon the shoul ders of peons more than 200 miles before the railways came this way. There were no cart roads, and burros, mules and men furnished all the transportation. A gang of 10 men, working eight at a time and re lieving each other at frequent Intervals, can carry a piano a long way if they keep at It long enough and havo their load rleged so they can get under it. The heavy machin ery in the mines around Durango was all brought in the same way. Ex-Governor Shepherd, who lives at Batopilas, a mining town in the Sierra Madre mountains, a hundred miles or so west of Chihuahua, has a piano In the house that was carried over -100 miles on the backs of men, and Its transportation from Washington cost f MX). But I know an even bigger story than that. The only steamboat on Lake Cha pala a body of water In the southern part of the republic that is 100 miles long and 30 miles wide was built In San Francisco, taken to pieces and brought In parts to San Bias, a port on the Pacific, and from there carried over two ranges of mountains on the backs of peons and burros.

'I he baggage master and mall r.lcrk wero caught In the wreck and burned to death. None of the passengers were seriously Injured. A flagman Is miss ing, and is believed to be in the ruins. Gold Imports from London continue, and about $8,000,000 is now afloat or un der order for this country. The bulk of this will undoubtedly be hoarded until af ter election, and there will probably bo In creased Importations for the same purpose. Gold is being drawn out of the treasury In moderate sums, but the reserve stands at $12 1,000,000, so that the treasury Is in a very strong position. Tho two desperadoes who robbed the Sherburne bank anil murdered three per sons have been positively Identified as J. II. and Lu Kelllhan, 18 and 23 years old. Their parents live at Rock Rapids, la., and admit that the boys are their children. The jail where Lu Is confined Is well guarded, and there Is no danger of a lynch ing. If tho trial of the electric motor which Is now being made on one of tho sections of the New York city system of elevated rail roads Is successful It Is believed that all the elevated lines In New York and Urook lyn will discard steam for electricity. Presi dent Uhlman, of the Brooklyn elevated road, believes that steam locomotives as a motive power, either on elevated or on short line or local railroads, arc as surely doomed as the use of horses on the street cars. Wheat was again active and higher In New York on iWednesday. Tho opinion Is growing that this country Is to bo the controllng force in the world's wheat mar ket for the coming jear, as we have a big surplus, while India, Russia, Argentina and Australia have deficient crops. One steamer load of wheat has already been shipped from San Francisco to India, and four other steamers had been chartered for wheat cargoes with "Calcutta options." Three strangers entered the town of Mceker.Col., Tuesday andmadctheirway to the store of Hugus & Co., where the bank of Meeker is located. they held up the clerks on duty, also the bank cashier, and looted the bank, but as soon as tbey reached the street In the effort to escape they were met by citizens, and a hot battle ensued, In which the robbers were killed. The robbers killed the president of a bank In Delta, Col., which they robbed a year or so ago.

In some places new bays have been formed, and no bars in others. The waters have receded hundreds of feet in some instances and advanced as much In other places. There is reason to believe tbat the conformation of tbe sea bottom near the coast has been greatly changed and that fresh shallows exist now where deep water was foutid beiore. It will be news .o many people that the government continues to coin silver dollars at the rate of considerably more than a million a month, yet such Is tbe fact. Sec retary Carlisle reports thu from Jan. 1, 1SMJ, to Sept. :iO, i;i,Ul'-',01 standard sil ver dollars were coined. Only the pur chasing clause of the Sherman act having been repealed, the government is iree to coin the bullion which it has accumulated. About 2,700,000 silver dollars were coined In September and as many more will be coined this month. The silver dollar Is rapidly taking the place of the treasury notes which were Issued to pay for the bullion. Bryan to the contrary notwith standing, this country Is not suffering from a lack of silver, nor Is the silver dol lar a subject of unjust discrimination by the treasury department. "We think with a shudder of the mas sacre of St. Bartholomew," observes tho New York Evening Post, "that Is, the slaughter of his own subjects by a sover eign on account of their religion, 300 years ago. We aro witnessing today precisely the same thing, on a scale compared to which St. Bartholomew seems a mero street riot. Nothing like what is now going on in Turkey has happened since Tamerlane. It far out-does the Greek horrors, for the Greeks resisted, arms In hand, and died fighting and killing their tyrants. The present victims fall like sheep and oxen, and nearly a thousand have fallen for every Greek who fell. It Is something ap palling when one thinks of It as occurring In the presence of Christian Europe, which has 0,000,000 of men under arms and could crush Turkey like an oyster shell." Kieklel Webster. Ezeklel Webster, brother of Daniel, was himself a famous lawyer, of majestic form, penetrating eyes and massive head; his complexion, however, unlike Daniel's, was light. Ills death was dramatic. On the 10th of April, 1820, ho was making a plea before tho Merrlmac Bar at Concord. He was standing erect. The court room was crowded, for whenever the lawyer from Boscawen made a plea the people flocked to hear him. Judge, jurors, lawyers and audience were listening to bis words and noticing the play of his clear-cut features and the manly dignity of his commanding presence, lie was speaking with vigor and earnestness. He closed one branch of his argument, uttered the concluding sentence and final words distinctly and with his ac customed cadence, his form as erect as ever, his eye clear and bright, his arms hanging naturally by bis side, and then, without a murmur, a groan, a nsp, raising not a nana, catching at notning, with no bending of a joint or quivering of an eyelid, he fell back- ward upon the floor dead. With the quickness of the lightning's flash, from the lull vigor of a manly life, at tne age of 4U, he died one of the most remarkable deaths on record. For those with weakened digestive pow ers honey Is said to be a very desirable food. If a person Is very tired "too ex hausted to eat" a few tastes of honey will act like magic. It has been discovered In Paris that if bone marrow Is not tbe elixir of youth, at least It is a powerful tonic. It is now served In Parisian restaurants spread raw upon thin slices of bread In a dainty man. ner, and Is said to be a very palatable mor sel. The Czar In Paris. No ruler of tho prcsont century has re ceived an ovation that approached In splen dor and genuineness that accorded to Nich olas II. last week by tho pcople'of France. Paris never contained befotc so many pro vincial visitors, never displayed so many flags and garlands, never Illuminated her streets and squares at night with such a dazzling display of lights and pyrotechnics, never yielded to such delirious joy, never echoed to such mighty acclaim, And for all this there was good reason. For tho presence of tho While Czir on French soil, and his hearty greeting to President Fauro as "tho chief of tho nation to which we are united by such precious tics," was a grateful evidence of the reality of an alll anco which lifts France out of the Isola tion and humiliation which Bismarck plan ned for her when he arranged the tripartite agreement. The dual alliance will be a firm one, and will have much to do with shaping future events In Europe. Bradley C. Newell, the Vcrtnonter who has suddenly sprung Into fame and riches by his magnetic touch, Is pointed out more often than any other member of tho legis lature.

But it does tone up the whole system and restores the body to health before serious harm system is weakened and the throat and lungs congested. Do not delay until it is too late, but treat your cougli early. Scott's Emulsion is one of the very best remedies. f cU. and f i a bottla.
