LOCAL NEWS REFUSED $100,000 YEAR David Warfiold Rejected Highest Salary Ever Offered Actor Under His Manaoement with David Be lasco He Shares In the Profit, and Re celves W40.000 a Year. The htgnost salary ever offered an actor was recently rejected by David War , wh "PPred in tho Auditor urn in Brattleboro, a few weeks ago Man" Cn play' "A Qrnnd Army Man. Felix Isman, the Philadel phia capitalist and theatrical promoter, was anxious to have Mr. Warflcld appear "? in' nder Ws management, and guaranteed him H.000,000 for ten years or a salary of .100,000 a year. Mr. War field unhesitatingly replied that he could not consider the proposition although ho was to assume no risk and invest no cap tal. The New York World says that during tho last two and one-half seasons of 46 weeks under Mr. Belasco's manage ment In "The Music Master" Mr. War field has been receiving about J240 000 annually. The gross receipts of "The Music Mnster" ranged from $17,000 to nearly 30,000 a week. Mr. Wnrfleld declined to state the exact terms of his business arrangement with his manager, David Belasco, but It Is generally understood that they now sharo equally In the profits of the plays In which he nppenrs. Of "The Music Masters" annual gross earnings of 1800,- 000 a little more than one-third goes to expenses of tho company, royalties to the author and percentages paid to theatres in which the play is acted. After these fixed expenses are deducted Mr. Warflcld and his manager have had considerably In excess of 525,000 to di vide each year. "Sentiment may have played a consid erable part In my rejection of Mr. Is man's business proposition," said Mr. Wnrfleld. "Slnco it was David Belasco who opened the way for me to my pres ent work, I feel bound to him for life. No amount of money from any other manager would he an Inducement to me to break my artistic nnd business part nership with him. "Without wishing to make public my personal business affairs I may say that an offer of 11,000,000 for a ten years' contract furnishes no financial Induce ments to me for the reason that I am already receiving much in excess of that sum. and slnco the success of my new play, 'A Grand Army Man,' I hnve rea son to believe that my earning capacity will further Increase. The, receipts of 'The Music Mnster,' which are known by managers of nil the theatres In which 1 have appeared, speak for themselves." David Belasco, who heard Mr. War field's statement, said: "It is a fact that Mr. Warflcld Is the highest paid actor on any stnge In any country. By this I mean that his con tinuous income derived from nctlng Is the greatest. I am told that Sarah Bcrnhnidt has received sums for limited engagements which would be In excess of $100,000 If computed on a yearly basis. Richard Mansfield may have realized even greater profits during the life of various of his successful productions, but Mr. Wnrfleld easily tops them all." There are, many other American nctors whose earning rapacities hnve made them objects of won'der and envy. In "Rip Van Winkle" the late Joseph Jef ferson continued In remnrkable popu larity for more than a quarter of a century. Ho loft a fortune estimated nt more thnn $1,000,000. Richard Mans field Is said to have earned $100,000 a year at times during his career, but a large part of his savings were after ward lost In unfortunate- theatrical ven tures. Edwin Booth's Income was con sidered exceptional In his day, but he, also, lost large sums In business specu lations. Miss Maude Adams is accounted the best paid woman star on the Amer ican stage at the present tim Her annual Income Is said to approximate $100,000. She Is also a clever business woman. Mr. Warflcld Is 41 years old and, though In the front ranks of American actors now. Is a comparatively new dis covery. He began his career as an usher In a San Francisco theatre and made his New- York debut at -a variety theatre at $15 a week In 1890. Speaking of this, the actor once said, says n writer In Success Magazine; "I drifted Into a concert hnll over In Eighth nvenue, where you can see the show by buying a glass of beer, and struck the manager for a Job. "When can you go on7" he asked, sizing me up. " 'Tonight,' I answered quickly. 'I've got a dress suit. I can go over to my room nnd get It nnd be back In half an hour.' " 'All right,' said the manager. 'I'll take a chance on von. You've struck me nt a good time. I'm a little shy of talent tonight." "Togged out In the evening clothes that I hnd ushered In at the Bush Street theatre, San Francisco, I appeared that evening, and for u good many that fol lowed, "doing four or five turns between R o'clock and 12." For the People to Say. - Barro Times. Believing that efficiency merited reten tion In office, the Times some weeks ago expressed tho belief the state would do itself credit if It re-elected Fletcher D. Proctor governor. It hasn't seen any reason to change that belief. In fact. It has faith to believe that If the voters express their own preferences In the mat ter, he will be tho next Republican nom inee for governor of tho state. Friends of other candidates say the rules of tho game will not permlt.lt; but who makes the rules? Must the voters nlways choose the candidates the politicians select and under conditions imposed by them? It is admitted on nil sides that Governor Proctor has given the state a good busi ness administration, that he Is looking closely after all the state's Interests and Institutions, and doing all In his power to keep down state expenditures. If the state believes he Is right In this. It should re-elect him, He hasn't said he would not accept a second term as governor, and as he was willing to serve his town a second term In the legislature, it is fair to believe he would accept a second term as governor. Aluminum Airship a Success. Count Zeppelin of Germany has nroused still further Interest in aeronautic circles by a recent trip in his aluminum airship. He remained aloft for seven full hours, nnd during that time traveled 220 miles, or at the rate of over thirty miles an hour. The airship Is about 450 feet long, is of rigid aluminum, holds more than 10 000 cubic meters of gas and is driven by two Damler motors, each of eighty five horse-power. Inside the aluminum shell are placed sixteen Isolated gas bags of globular shape. There Is passenger accommodation for ten Persons. Al though the count is 69 yenrs old, he fully believes ho will live long enough to perfect his machine so that It will be acknowledged to be a thoroughly reliable airship. Switzerland revels In stone-throwing C0OneStton of coal Is required to produce 10.000 cublo feet of gas. Now York has more hospitals than any other city In the world. THE VERMONT PHOENIX, LECTURES ON CHILD STUDY. Prof. E. P. St. John Will Deliver Second In Series In Conareoatlonal Church This Evening. Tho course of six lectures on child study by Prof. Edward P. St. John of the Hart ford school of religious pedagogy opened auspiciously Fridny evening in the Con gregational church, where a largo number of parents nnd public school tenchers as well as Sunday school workers, for whom the course was primarily Intended, gathered. Prof. St. John moro than fulfilled every thing that had been said about him as an Interesting speaker and .expressions of the warmest appreciation of the value of the lecture to anyone in any way connected with the bringing up of children wore heard on all sides. The Brattleboro Sun day school union Is to be congratulated on the wisdom of its selection of a lec turer this season nnd It Is to be hoped that tho general public will give tho financial support which the worth of the course merits. Tho course was made free though thero are large expenses to be mot In getting Prof. St. John hero nnd all the financial prospects of the Sunday school union aro In the number of people who will Join Its ranks at a small membership fee. An earnest can vnss Is being made to secure members In all the churches. Prof. St. JYihn began the course with a consideration of the early childhood and the kindergarten period. Ho con fined his attention to the children be tween the nges of two and five years and dwelt nt length on tho psychological development of tho child mind In these early years. His lecture was Illuminated wiui apt stories of actual occurrences which hnd come under his pcrsonnl ex perience. His theme was the guidance of tho natural and healthy activities of the child rnthcr than their suppression. He said that the child's perception or knowledge of his environment was de veloped wholly at first by physical means, the child had no knowledge of the nature of things until he has touched, tasted or pounded or otherwise experimented with nn object. The road to development In these early years was therefore through the senses not In appeal to his mind or moral instinct. It Is absolutely neces sary that a child should be active In body In order to grow nnd this activity could be turned Into channels of educa tion as well as left to run riot. He dwelt at length on the cultivation of obedience by suggestion instead of arbitrary com mand In these early years. The second lecture In the course will be given this evening at 8 o'clock In the Congregational church. Prof. St. John will take up the primary period from the fifth to nbout the eighth year. The lec tures are free to the public and everyone Interested Is Invited to be present. At yie same time the officers of the Sunday school union hope that ns many as care to do so will become members of tho union nt tho nominal membership fee, so thnt the expenses of the course may be met without any canvass for funds. Dr. H. D. Holton, president of the Sunday school union, who presided, placed the financial aspect of the undertaking before the audience nnd appealed to them to support It. BRATTLEBORO MARKET REPORT.

Government Forest Service Bulletin. Mother Nature uses tho tree trunk to keep her record of weather of the passing years and thor officers of the Forest Ser vice In Washington say that the severe drought from which the forests of New England and the middle Atlantic states have suffered the past summer has left lis mark upon growing timber which will remain for many decades. Treea, It seems, preserve for their entire life the evidence of unutual weather con dltlons of certain kinds. They do this by tho effect which these conditions havo upon tho making of wood substance. Wood Is laid on a tree In concentric rings, one ring for each year, and it Is tho nppearanco of these rings which fur nishes to the trained eye a kind of chart, prepared by nature, from which may bo read something of the history of tho past Trees suffer less from drought than most plants, because their roots go deep er. Nevertheless, a severe drought like that of the present season checks their growth. Naturally, those on thin or naturally dry soils suffer most. And Just ns In a human society which Is famine stricken, the feebler members succumb first. A severe drought may be followed by the death, of many trees. In some parts of tho Northeast there was no rnlnfnll of consequence for more than two months of the hottest part of the summer. No woodcraft was needed to se tho results. On thin soiled hills and ridges of good untural drainage the leaves of the underbrush hung limp, lacking the molsturo which could no longer bo pumped up from the roots, Instead of spreading their surfaces to the light. In crowded stands tho weaker trees, already struggling hard to keep their place In "unequal competition with their overtopping neighbors, began to drop tliclr, foliage nnd shut down for the senson. And though the best trees, or those fortunately placed where mois ture was less deficient, gave perhaps no outward sign of distress. Impaired acti vity must have been very general, in other words, tho wood crop grown this last year has suffered an appreciable shortage, though since it will bo harves ted along, with that actually grown dur ing many years the owner may never ap preciate tho difference. Tho result Is merely that where the drought was felt by tho timber each treo has a little smal ler trunk thnn better conditions would hnve given it German foresters say that a severe winter Is followed by lessened diameter growth during tho following season. If this Is true the annual ring for the present year will he smnll because of the unusual cold last winter as well as from the effects of drought. Just why excep tionally low winter temperatures should reduce the subsequent growth It la hard ta see. If, however, tho cold Is protrac ted Into tho spring so ns to shorten the growing season the connection Is ob vious. Late frosts, which nip the open ing bud3 or young leaves and thus check the growth Just as It Is starting Into full nctlvlty, may cause serious damage to forests. In various parts of the East last spring observing persons noted that the button wood leaves seemed to suffer a sudden blight Just nfter they hnd spread their tender green to, the air. They wcro frosted. New leaves came out after two or three weeks, but such checks' try the hardiness of the tree. Some kinds aro much more susceptible than others and sometimes their susceptibility Is nn Im portant factor in fixing the limits within which a tree can hold Its place In Hie forest. Single specimens of the longest lived trees, both European and American, nre known to have reached an ago of from 1,000 to 2,000 years, while some of tho giant sequoias of California have lived for 3.000 years or more. It Is curious to think thnt the forester can discover, by studying the annual rings of thes giant vetcrnns, something of tho weather con ditions which obtained before the Chris tian era began. The Simple Life In Insurance Circles. Since the Insurance disclosures In New York, the Various companies have been living the simple life, as one may Judge by reading tho following from the Spring field Republican: "One result of tho life Insurance disclosures has been to force the officers of the Mutual com pany of New York Into a simpler style of official living, nnd this In turn has led to a sale of some of the more superfluous nnd sumptuous fur nishings of UieMcCurdyreglme. Furniture, rugs nnd bric-n-brnc from the offices of the company were sold nt auction last week to the amount of $34,600 the same hav ing cost the policyholders nbout tl25,0 o. The directors' table. Imported from Paris at a cost of J3000, brought JU0; the 16 gilded chairs about the table, wheh cost some $200 each, went for $40 nnd $50. Mr. McCurdy's "ornati throne chnlr of carved and glided wood," costing some $500, brought $90; n Mrs. Uvermoro bid In for $3,325 "a gold enameled Louis XV parlor suite of nine pieces In nubusson tnpestry," while a carved mahogany lllu mlnnted leather suite that decorated Mr. McCurdy's reception room went for $1200. although the auctioneer stnted that the original cost was $10,000 to the pol icyholders. We must suppose, then, that the Ixuils XV parlor suite cost the policy holders In the neighborhood of $30,000. And what was a parlor suite of any wort doing in the business offices of an In surance company? Home Rule for the Filipinos. On July 30, this year, the first repre sentative assembly of the Filipinos was chosen. Eighty-one members were elected to this new body, which mny oe compared to our House of Representatives, with the Philippine commission ns the Senate. The suffrage is, however, much restric ted, nnd the provisions of the election law require that the voters must be men twenty-three years old, knowing how to rend, write and speak English or Span ish; that they have not vlolnted the oath nlleglanre, or borne arms against the United States since May. 1, 1901; thnt they own real estate worth 600 pesos, or pay o yearly tax of SO pesos; and that they have paid their taxes since 1898. As to the powers of this assembly, Its nets will have to be npproved by the Philippine commission before they can become laws; but, on the other hand. It will be able to defeat legislation that does not suit it. Myer's Parcel Post Prooram. Postmaster General George von L. Myer, at the Philadelphia Union lenguo meeting, outlined three plans for postal progress, which will bo recommended to the next Congress, as follows: First, tho postage rate on packages to bo. reduced from 16 to 12 cents abound; second, that limitation of weight -of packages be Increased from 4 to 11 pounds; third, a parcels post to be authorized from the point at which the rurnl delivery routo originates, with rates of 5 cents for the first pound, and 2 cents for each addi tional pound to 11 pounds.

There are three other diamonds, espe cially celebrated for their size, the Koh-1-Noor (106V4 carats), tho Regent (136 carats), and the Orloff (193 carats), but this diamond of the Boers is six times larger than all three put together, and is valued at over $1,000,000, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1907.

A Well-Conducted Savings Bank The Nortlifield News comments on the success attained by the Hyde Park Savings Bank in the following very complimentary language : The assets pf tne Lamoille Coumy Sav ings Bank and Trust Co. of Hyde Park, have passed the million dollar mark, as already noted In these columns. Presi dent C. S. Page is receiving the hearty congratulations of the press and many people upon his success for this U one of the pet enterprises of Vermont's genial ex-governor. It muse be conceded also tl.at Mr. Page has succeeded as well In the banking line ns In other directions in which he has won the reputation of being one of Vermont's most successful business men, It may also be noted that no man In the world believes more thoroughly In the Judicious use of printer's ink than Mr. Page and advertising has been a factor In the up building of this bank. Mr. Page has conducted his bank on original lines for his motto has always been, "Vermont money for Vermonters to foster Vermont Industries and develop Vermont enterprises." It has been Mr. Page's boast that not a dollar of this bank's money was ever loaned outside of Vermont, and while no other banking Institution in the state ac cepted such a proposition for itself for years, the hagpy tendency of late among many of the financial Institutions has been to seek home investments. The Hyde Park bank pays four per cent in terest. Congratulations to President Page upon the success that hid bank has attained under his years of good manage ment. HORTON D.
