THE VERMONT PIICENIX, BRATTLE BORO, FRIDAY, JANUARY A, 1907. 1 L IN OUR OWN STATE Likely to Be a fleficlt In the State's Accounts. It Is generally expected by stnte of ficials tliat there will bo a deficit In tho state's accounts for tho present biennial term, as there was In the term of (Jov. Bell, J. E. Cushman, commissioner of Btato taxes, whoso department furnishes n largo part of tho revenues of the state, estimates the Income for the term at $1,125,000. No one estimates the expenses at less than $1,300,000. New appropriations we're made by tho legislature this year, though there was strong talk of ex travagance In tho last campaign, and new methods of taxation were provided, but it Is not believed by tho most conservative that tho Increase In taxes will make up for tho Increase In appropriation. Tho standing appropriations of known nmounts foot up, $120,900 a year. The regular ap propriation for tho support of govern ment amounts to $801,000. A number of appropriations were made In an in definite way, so that the amount that Will bo expended cannot now be deter mined. There arc also some appropria tions llko those for providing education for deaf, dumb and blind children of indigent parents, Indexing surveyor general's papers and tho boundary line commission that cannot at present be estimated. Bad Man In Wild Western Style at Rutland. To prove that Wild Charlie and his bunch of bronco busters from the Far "West had nothing on tho tendcrfect from little old Vermont, David Sherman, a boy with a mind worked up by reading cheap novels, made Levi Williams, nn inoffensive negro, dance an elaborate ouck and wing" In a restaurant at Rut land Monday whllo he amused himself in true "bad man" style by shooting at his victim's feet with a revolver. Williams went Into a Centre street lunch room and was quietly callng when he heard a shot directly behind him. An order to dance and dance quick came immediately after. The old colored man hastily complied while Sherman en couraged him with his gun. Sherman was arraigned In city court to answer to two charges of breach of peace. The first offence was committed Sunday night In the rear of the hotels. At this time Sherman ordered a maid to usher out the "Dago cook," ns he put it. The cook refused to admit callers and Sherman threatened to shoot her full of holes. Sherman was sentenced by Judge Willis M. Ross to pay a fine of $20 or serve 90 days In the house of correction. Bradstreet's Report on Business In Ver mont. Bradstreet's report regarding Vermont affairs shows prosperous conditions In all lines of Industry during the year 190C. The holiday trade this year was very large, weather conditions were such as to materially assist In the sale of stocks. The year closed has shown the largest sale of manufactured stock and a larger general business than has been known In the state for years. The demand for more skilled labor has constantly been heard during the year and because of lack of labor manufacturers have been handicap ped In doing all they wanted to, but volume has been very large. Not only have thecltles noted an Increase In population but the smaller towns have shared as well In the prosperous conditions. The farmers har vested good crops and are receiving an In crease In prices for the same. One of the many indicators of the prosperous conditions Is the large amount of building that has been done. Approximately over two millions of dollars have been used In this manner, an Increase of over a quarter of a million dollars over amount done in same places during 1903.

Estimates prepared by the United Stntes geological survey for the year 1903 gives tho value of mineral products of Massachusetts for the year as $14,021,200. Of tho New England stntes, Vermont comes next with $8,790,541; Maine, $5,065,801; New Hampshire, $2,028,038; Connecticut, $4,098,623, and Rhode Island, $1,327,795. Pennsylvania leads tho coun try with $369,S28,073; Ohio Is second with $169,203,710, nnd Illinois third with $103, 605,567. Included In this list of mineral products are certain raw materials In the ore's first marketable condition which do not appear In the table of mineral prod ucts of the United States as a whole. Thus pig Iron and Iron ores, pig lead nnd paints, clay products nnd raw clay, coal nnd i.s Immediate derivatives, coke, gas, and illuminating gas. Ammonium sulphite nnd coal tar are nmong tho prod ucts included in these estimates. This accounts for the relatively low place In the list occupied by Colorado and Califor nia, which are commonly regarded as tho richest mineral states. Illinois has no sllvor or gold, but she gains third place In the table through her production of great Interests of cement, clay, coal, pig Iron, stone and zinc, which are worth much sliver and gold In the world's mark ets. In Memorlam Bishop Charles C. McCabe. They say McCabe Is dead. No such as he Possess a two-fold Immortality Dwelling In light, where angels sing and soar, And In the hearts of men forevermore. His face Is white? Hands folded on his breast? Ho must bo weary, and Is taking rest! Ho lives In deeds he wrought. In words ho said The songs he sang Oh, no, he Is not dead! , . He lives as lives the sunshine and the rain In flowers, In fruitage, and tho golden grain; He passed, and has been passing, year by year. Into the nation's life a voice of cheer, Into the church's heart, like light, per fume, A tongue of fire flashed from tho Upper Room. Long as the nation lives, the church shall be, His heart-throbs will be felt from sea to sea. Oh, how we loved him, wondering as ho spake, How great a soul the blessed God could make; And when he sang It seemed as though the tongue Of some rapt angel measure sung. And ho is dead! Ah, they die not who live Themselves in daily sacrifice to give, But broken, like n vase with rich perfumes, Sweeten forever all earth's splendid rooms. He was a lover, to his nation gave A lover's heart, the bravest of the brave. Followed her prayer through shot and shell. For her laid down In Libby's reeking coll; Then, through the years of peace spread far abroad Tho sweet lovo story of the Son of God. Carry the form, the clay, the casket by, The lovers of mankind can never die. Rev. Alfred J. Hough In Zlon's Herald. Millions Starving In China.

Cassett, President of the Pennsylvania Railroad Some Projects Which He Directed. Aloxnnder J. Cnssett, 77, president of tho Pennsylvania railroad nyst-em, died Friday from heart disease nt his homo In Philadelphia. Ho was born In Pittsburg and his father, who was first mayor of Allegheny City, was n fnctor In great financial nnd Industrial Interests of Western Pennsylvania. A. J. Cussett wns educated In schools of Europe, at tho Uni versity of Darmstadt, nnd graduated ns civil engineer nt Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute In Troy, N. Y., In 1839. Ho entered tho employ of the Pennsyl vania railroad two years later as rodman, nnd rose through various positions until In 1871 he was made general manager of nil of tho Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg nnd Eilc. He wns advanced to the third vlco presidency In 18S0. It wns whllo in this position that ho made his first great railroad coup, securing for tho Pennsylvania system control of the Ph.i ndolphla, Wilmington & Baltimore rail road when tho Baltlmoro & Ohio leaders thought they held n majority of tho stock. Tho check for the transfer of stock to the Pennsylvania road was $11,919,052.20. It wns tho largest check which had been drawn up to that tlmo In any financial transaction and It still hangs on the walls of the treasury of tho Pennsylvania road as a tribute to the sagacity of Mr. Cassott. While at the height of his fame in tne transportation world, only nbout 42 years of nge, Mr. Cassett voluntarily icslgncd tho ofllce of vice president In 1SS2, owing. It Is understood, to the fact that he was not In harmony with President Roberts's conservative methods. He then spent severnl yenrs In European travel, during which tlmo ho wns elected to tho di rectorate of the Pennsylvania railroad. Ho planned the construction of tho New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad, and designed tho ferry transfer system by means of which loaded trains have boon taken across Chesapeake bay the past 20 years. He wns called to the presi dency of the Pennsylvania rnlhoad In June, 1S99. following the death of Presi dent Frank Thompson. Ho at once out lined a policy termed n "community of Interest," which swept away tho tradi tions of yearn, but lcsulted In his pur chasing thousands of shares of the Chesa pi'Oko & Ohio, the Norfolk & Western and the Bnlllmote & Ohio railroads, and thus established a preservation of Joint In terest In tho soft coal roads, which has since proved a safeguard to tho holdings of stockholders. Under his administra tion n large number of gront Improve ments have been made on the Pennsyl vania road. The transportation nnd sta tion facilities have been gronlly enlarged. One of the great projects planned since he came to the head of the road system wns the East River tunnels nnd terminal facilities In the city of New York. Mr. Cassett's diversion from business fares wns found In the breeding of lino horses. Aside from being the head of the Penn sylvania railroad, he was president of six other companies and a director In 23 concerns, principally transportation com panies, banks nnd trust companies. His wealth Is estimated at $30,000,000. Baroness Burdett-Coutts, England's Famous Philanthropist, Dead.
