THE VERMONT PHCENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1900. 2 BRATTLEBORO LOCAL. BUHLESQTJE BASKET BALL. Hiihilliiile Ilrnttlttioro l.Mi C. A. Tenia Jtealen by Holyoke V. M. C. A. 11-1, In n Hisrly-Iliirly Contest. A burlesque game of basket ball took place In the armory Sautrday nlght.tbe par ticipants In the farce being the Holyoko, Mass,, V. M. C. A. team and an aggrega tion purporting to represent the local asso ciation. The score at the end of tho last act was 14-4, with Brattleboro at the little end of tho horn. Such a miserable exhl bltlon as the home team made was enough to "queer" the sport In Brattleboro for tho rest of the season. O wing to some trouble among the members of the team Capt. Cundlff was the only regular man who ap peared on the floor In uniform. Tho other four players were all comparatively Inex perienced, but it must be admitted that their playing was fully equal to that of their chief. Not one sign of team work was visible In Brattleboro's playing, how ever, and from the start It was evident that nolyoke had things easy. When a Brat tleboro player got a chance to try for a goal his shooting was so inaccurate that everyone hoped he wouldn't make a fool of himself again. As for fouls, enough were mado by both sides to prolong the game all night had half of them been called. All three officials were victims of somnambu lism, apparently, for even the uproar which continued throughout all of the second half failed to awaken them to the serious ness of the situation. In justice to the visitors It should bo said that their work was on the whole sat isfactory and the rough playing which they displayed at times was only to offset that of their opponents. Monroe and Fer riter did the best for Brattleboro, the lat ter scoring the only goal from the field for his side. HOLYOKE. , . BBATTLEBOjlO Miller, right forward, left guard. Tufts L.

Strongly in contrast with the exhibition of last Saturday night was the basket hall game of Tuesday evening between the local Y. M. C. A. team and that of tho Cblcopee, Mass., Parish house. The Brat tleboro players got together Monday eve ning and practically reorganized, electing Corser captain instead of Cundiil, who resigned. Although the home' team was defeated by the Parish house 15-0 the game was well played and at times excit ing. Brattleboro failed to score in the first half, but in the second period of play made as many baskets as its opponent. Chicopee claims to be one of the strongest aggregations In the couutry, and the team substantiated Its claim Tuesday evening by a remarkably line exhibition of basket ball. The visitors were continually on the go and several times had the Brattleboro players badly winded. The latter showed their lack of practice by failing to get in the team work which has generally char acterized their playing. Bastlen played the prettiest game for Chicopee and Ferriter's work was the equal of that of any of the Brattleboro men. Allen made two baskets which brought forth the applause of the spec tators.

Leslie Thayer, for some time past pro prietor of the Broid Brook House in Gull ford, settled an account with the state Monday before leaving for new quarters In Bernanlaton. The hotel was raided sever al weeks ago, but Mr. Thayer was not at home, and the house had been visited by ofllcers several times since then but with out fluillng the proprietor. The ofllcers were Informed last week that Thayer made regular visits to his house on Sunday, which led them to believe that It was Mr. Thayer's Impression that he could not be arrested on Sunday. On last Sunday night, therefore, Sheriff Gordon went to Guilford, found Mr. Thayer and arrested him. State's Attorney Barber, Justice T. J. B. Cud worth and some witnesses went to Guilford Monday to try the case, Lawyer John E. Gale appearing for the respond ent. Thayer was first arraigned on the charge of keeping liquor with the Intent to sell. He pleaded guilty, and the minimum fine of $5 and costs was agreed upon. He was then arraigned on the charge of selling, to which he pleaded cullty of two first offences, and a fine of $15 and costs was imposed. The total fines and costs were about $45, which Thayer paid during the afternoon. Ir. 11 u I I'ii Cough Myrnp Las cured whoop, ingcouph when no other treatment would give relief.

IVeuloii of Wilmington Ins tate Itepreiented hi Iiiiolonl---Otlirr l'robale llilllntll, An Interesting hearing was hold In tho probate court Saturday, It being a part of a special session before Judge Waterman. The hearing was on the application of Eva Wheeler Newton, widow of John C. New ton of Wilmington, for an assignment out of her late husband's estate for her sup port and maintenance during the settle ment of the estate by the administrator. The contention was as to the amount of tho allowance. Tho administrator repre sented that the estate was supposed to bo Insolvent. The contention of the widow was that If her husband's estate was In solvent It would naturally follow that all of his brothers, who were In company with him and who did business with him, were Insolvent, which she did not believe to be the fact. She believed the object In repre senting the estate to be Insolvent was to cut her off with a small allowance. The fact was brought out during the taking of testimony that Mr. Nnwtou, when living, allowed his wife $250 a month for household expenses and $100 a month for " pin " money. The court ordered the administrator to pay Mrs. Newton $100 a month from Oct. 28, 1809, until the estate was SPttlpd or until further order of the court. Kittredge Haskins and C. C. Fltts were counsel for Mrs. Newton, and O. E. Butteriield of Wilmington was counsel for the estate. Tho other business of the seslon was as follows: Tho will of Luclna Carley of Whltingham was allowed and It. Q. Wil cox and E. C. Stetson were appointed ap praisers and commissioners. The will of Electa M. Cutler of Whltingham was al lowed and Edward L, Fuller and Charles H. Faulkner were appointed appraisers and commissioners. BAN INTO A THAP.

C, 1000. ) I haven't heard from home for somo time. My mall Is probably at Manila. This is on the north lino In Cavlte Prov ince. We expect to move to two towns above here aud expect to have quite a fight, so thought I would write you and leave It for some one to mall who will be left be hind. You may not hear from me again for a long time, as our facilities for writing are not of the best. The country Is not as bad as some make It out, and the insur gents wont stand hard fighting. There aro only two companies here, our own and one of the 32d; only our company is to move and they are all eager for tho fight. We have slept on our arms every night since we have been here, for we hold the most dangerous place on the coast. The other day we ran into about 400 of the "Gogoes," as we call them, and about 45 of us ran into a trap. They drove us up a hill where we had to use both hands to climb with. Tho bullets were flying around our heads like hailstones and about as fast. We had one man captured. No one was seriously hurt. One man had his cheek blistered by a bullet and several had their guns smashed by them. They admit we killed seven and wounded 20. If you multiply these figures by three you will get it nearer right. The rest of the regiment are on tho soulh line. The other company look like banditti, they have been out so long, and I suppose we will look the same way in a little while. They surely can't call us tin soldiers, for the volunteers are doing all tho fighting. Wo are doing some great old marches " hikes," we call them. The first thing is to wade a stream with the water nearly to our necks, then up hills where we have to use both hands, feet and toes to climb with the ' Gogoes" thought we could not climb them next a rice field of mud and water, where we may go in up to our neck any minute. They aro something fierce, and It Is like this all day long.

Nearly 100 Vermont Wheel club mem bers gathered at the club rooms last Fri day evening to hear tho evidence in the case of Bacon vs. Crosby, an action of tort to recover the value of a "fighting rooster" slain in a battle which took place while the bird was in charge of the defendant. The case was one of great Intricacy, and startling evidence was introduced by both sides. Tho jury after much deliberation decided that both defendant and plaintiff weronot free from guilt, and it recom mended that as a penalty a lunch should be furnished the assembled multitude. T. J. B. Cud worth acted as presiding judge, W. H. Chllds and W. P. Jones as side judges; C. L. Stlckney, clerk of the court; W. A. Morse, court stenographer; E. W. Blodgett, sheriff; H. O. lUce deputy; C. C.

A well-known resident of this town has become interested, or rather, somewhat alarmed, at the enormous quantities of timber that are being cut off this year There are, within five miles of Spofford lake, if reports are correct, no less than eight steam saw mills at work, us follows : The Whltcomb mill, run by Mr. Whitney; George K. Amldon & Co's. mill, the Doo little & Brown mill, OHn Farr's mill at West Chesterfield, Butler Brothers' mill, Hermon Harvey's mill at the Factory, a mill on Broad Brook and one in Westmore land, near Parkhlll. Immense, quantities of timber are being eaten up by these mills and a large area of valuable forest cut away. A red pine 110 feet high and about three feet In diameter at the base was one of the most notable trees recently cut, and a quantity of forest giants have met a like fate, besides thousands of smaller trees. What the result of this wholesale destruc tion of the forests will be remains to be seen, but It certainly does not add to the attractions of Chesterfield and Its surround ings.

From the Wilmington Times While our Democratic friends aro cast ing about for a suitable running mate for William J. Bryan, they n ill make a mis take if tiicy fall to consider the eminent qualifications of Mr. Bryan's Vermont es cort aud right hand man It. S. Chllds of Brattleboro. Messrs. Bryan and Chllds arc warm personal friends and the points of sluillatlty iu the character and vlriws of the two men are legion. Mr. Bryan is noted (list of nil for his surpassing eltqiience and all will agree that this is also Mr. Chllds's leading char acteristic. Mr. Bryan Is opposed to expansion so is Mr. Chllds. Mr. Bryan has got "it in" for the Roths childs, the Vanderbllts, the Morgans, Wall stteet, the trusts and various other mon strosities so also has Mr. Chllds., Mr. Hryiti Is called the silver tongued orator of the Platte Mr. Chllds Is the silver-tongued orator of Vertnout and has no equal iu these regions. Mr. Bryan is an all-around good fellow whom everyone likes soalsols Mr. Chllds. It must be apparent to all that William J. Bryan and It. S. Chllds would make Ideal running mates and the Reformer, Vermont's representative Democratic news paper, should paste tho following ticket at the head of Its editorial column and keep It there until after election: For President, Win. J. Bryan of Nebraska. For vice president, Rollln S. Chllds of Vermont. The Vermont Democracy certainly ought to bo grateful to the author of Its party platforms and the expounder of its princi ples and such a ticket as the above might be a winner In the Green Mountain state. CAKING 8UQAR. Abstract from J. I. Whitman's Paper Head Itefore the Vermont hiiRnr Mak ers In Itnuilolph T.nst Week. It has been said that the education of a girl should begin with the girl's grand mother. The making of fine maple sugar depends much on past care and previous condition of sugar utensils. The secret of making first quality maple sugar can be summed up in two words "neatness" and "despatch." Spouts, buckets and storage tanks may be tin or wood; evaporators may be of any patent or no intent, but wood, if used, must be painted, and the sap must go from the tree to the finished products of syrup or sugar as rapidly as possible by frequent gathering and shallow boiling. Sugar making has become an exact science and the use of the thermometer through all the boiling process relieves of all uncertainty in uniform sugar making. For caking sugar 23S to 240 Is just right and will make cakes of sutliclent grain aud not be too hard. For long keeping with out draining it is necessary to cooklo 2503. The markets likes cakes in pounds or the subdivisions of pounds. For cooking, pound bricks aro handy, but for confec tionary, two-ounce or qiurter-pound cakes aro best, the bricks to be packed in 00 pound boxes, the quarter-pound cakes in 10-pound and 20 pound boxes, while two ounce cakes go In two, five and 10-pound boxes. There Is less demand for sugar cakes from year to year and an increased use of syrup.

Ho served between three and four years In tho 1st Vermont cavalry. He entered the home In October, 1804. He was suffering from paralysis of the limbs when received, and has been a cripple since. He frequently remarked that when it got so that morphine would not relieve his pain he would kill himself. The attendants had watched him closely. The night nurse was called Monday morning by Howe, and on entering his room tho nurse found Howe's pillow covered with blood. Howe spoke, saving ho had shot himself. Howe's nurse found a 22 calibre revolver in the bed. Howe had shot himself through the temple, the ball entering just above the right eye, going through aud coming out on the pillow on which he rested his hand when he shot.

Figures I.lven A Often Urrou-oiss Change Making Jnuunry the First Mouth of the Year. Tho centennial of Gen. Washington's death was publicly noticed In many places last December. Ills ago at his death Is often given as 07 years and some months, which Is erroneous, lie was born Feb. 11, 1732, as the almanac then ran. Now Year's began on the 25lh of March. Tho last day of that year was March 24,1732; the first day of the next year was March 23, 1733. In 1751, an Act of Parliament, 24 Geo. II., chapter 23, provided: That the first day of January next fol lowing the last day of December, 1761, shall bo the first day of the year 1762. Aud that tho first day of January next after tho first day of January 1752, shall he tho first day of the year 1753. And so on, the first day of January In each year, shall be tho first day of the year. And that after tho first day of January 1752, tho several days of each month shall go on in the same order; and the feast of Easter; and other moveable feasts thereon depending, shall be ascertained according to the same method they then were, until tho second day of Sep tember 1752; and that the natural day next following the said second day of Septem ber, shall bo reckoned the fourteenth day of September, omitting for that time only, the eleven Intermediate days. And that the several natural days which shall suc ceed the said fourteenth day of September, shall be reckoned in numerical order ac cording to the order and succession of days now used In the present calendar. The several years 1800, 1000, 2100, 2200, 2300, and any other hundredth year (ex cept every four hundredth year of which the year 2000 shall be the first,) shall not be deemed BIssoxtile or Leap Year, but common years to consist only of 305 days. The years 2000, 2400, 2800, and every other four hundredth year, from the year 2000 inclusive, and all other years, which are now. esteemed Bissextile or Leay Years, shall for the future be esteemed Bissextile or Leap Years, consisting of 303 days. Gen. Washington died Dec. 14, 1709. These dates, with that act, by common arithmetic will give his true age. iuiian Allen was uorn Jan. 10, 1737, and died Feb. 21, 1780, His ago is often given as 52 years and a month and over, which is also erroneous, and can bo cor rectly computed also by these figures. This year is interesting, In this respect, as one of the hundredth years, exactly di visible by four, but not a leap year because not a 400th year. President IlKdley on Forestry. President Hadley of Yale, always pro gressive and quick to interpret tho signs of tho times, has declared In favor of forestry on broad patriotic grounds. Iu an address before the Yale alumni association of Cleveland, O., at given in the Yale Alumni Weekly, Dr. Hadley said: "Of all the needs at present, the thing we feel tho need of most Is the intelligent teaching of forestry which stands out prominent. We need it for the sake of the rainfall of the country, for the health of tho country, for the future life of tho country. I hope I shall see established at Yale In the not dis tant future a school of forestry, which shall not be a school of a kind of botany as arc some of the schools at present In the country; not modeled on German fash ions, as is the case with the remainder; but as a school adapted to the needs of Amer ica, teaching in the studio and in the labo ratory the principles of botany and sur veying, the law of economics necessary to the understanding of the subject, and giving the men a chance to go out Into the fields and do practical field work, and work Into positions with the United States govern ment; work into posltionsof private inllu ence also, which aro bound In the Imme diate future to increase very greatly in im portance. Such a school of forestry, I believe, we havo at hand and before us." The Forester. Napoleon on Ilriinkrnnris. Napoleon Bonapute will appear in the Marcli Century iu a new role that of a temperance advocate. In the second In stalment of Dr. O'Meara's hitherto un published "Talks with Napoleon" at St. Helena, it Is recorded tliat, having a pain in his side, the ex-Emperor asked his physician to show him where his liver was situated, and the latter, In some remarks of the causes of inflammation of that organ, mentioned intoxication as one of them. Thereupon Napoleon remarked: "Then I ought not to have It, as I never was drunk hut ouco in my life; and that was 24 years ago at Nice. I drank three bottles of Burgundy, and was com pletely drunk. O, how sick I was the next day! I wonder how a man who once gets drunk can ever think of doing It again. Such headache, vomiting, and general sick ness; I was nearly dead for two days." Sir, l!ryA.us Policy, I From the Burlington Free Press J Bryan has plainly adopted a new policy with reference to his nubile disci isslnns In the East. Iln fmnklv dpolnr that I... came here, not to instruct Democrats, wuotn ue apparently assumes aro popocrats as a rule, but to speak to Republicans. Havlnir learned from tlm content nf 1RO.H that he could not hope to be elected to the uuito uouse wituout mo winning of ad ditional votes, ho has evidently determined to capture them from the ranks of tho nn. position. While making It plain that he still stands for free silver coinage at a ratio of 10 to 1 he tries to show that he Is in reality calling for nothing new, and that it is the only reasonable policy to pursue in connection with the revision of our cur rency laws. The COlintrv has tlftpnmA an famllta. with the arguments advanced by Bryan In support oi ms currency cntmera tuat It is not necessary at this time to refer to them at lencth. So far as his onen riwtamtlnn of his free silver views are concerned we believe that Republicans as well as busi ness men In general will welcome the assurance that ho is wedded to his silver Idols. The danger In connection with the national contest now begun was that Bryan would seek to slip Into 'the Presidential chair as an anil-trust man and bob up as a free silver executive. The certaintv that Iih U n traa oti.. candldate will make his defeat the more easy, and while the agitation of the cur- rencv nuestlon mav len.l in nnettln h.i J ness for a brief period, there Is a general teeiing mat, anotner open ligut on the question will be necessary to kill the free silver Issue. To that end the Republicans will devote their attention from this time on, and It is certain that In the contest they will have the the support of not a few sound money Democrats. Lieut. E.

J ud ue Tart or the linl ed .Stales Circuit Court Itrfusra to Interfere. Judge Taft, In tho I'uited States circuit court, Wednesday, decided that the court had no jurisdiction in the Kentucky elec tion cases nnd refused the in junctions nked for by the Republicans He said, however, that after the coses had been heard in the state courts nn appeal could bu taken to the United States supreme court. After citing the law showing that the federal court had no jurisdiction in such cases he reviewed the Ooebel election law as the most infamous statute that had ever come before the attention of a court, and he de nounced in vigorous terms the conditions that havo existed in Kentucky, and thnt are cited in the bill of facts, but he held that it was merely a matter of law with the court, notwithstanding tho outrages that are alleged in the undisputed statement of the facts of the petitioners. Gov. Taylor, of Kentucky, decided on Saturday, after a conference with a large number of prominent Republicans from all over the state, not to Bign the Louisville agreement, but to let the controversy over the state government take ita due course. He issued a proclamation, reconvening the general assembly in Frankfort Monday afternoon. The ereater Dart of the militia were at tho same time ordered to their Homes. The Democratic legislature met in Iyini ville on Saturday, and received a message from Gov. Beckham, reciting the failure of ine peace negotiation, and recommending that the legislature continue its sessions in Louisville, as ho could not guarantee the personal security of the members nor pro tect them from unwarranted iuterfi rence. The Democrats decided to remain iu Louis ville for the present. War Kxieliaee to llalr. The total expenditures of the United States growing out of the war with Spain already amount to $355,000,000.

This amount, large as It is, represents but a small part of the expenses we are likely to incur In connec tion with the war, hut there will be very considerable credits In the way of revenue and taxes which will help to balance the accouut.
