THE BURLINGTON KftttE PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 7, 189. THE LIBEL SUIT ENDED, PUTTING IN OF EVIDENCE FINISH ED FRIDAY MORNING. Editor JohDion, Head Walter Seeley, Might Clerk Splcer, Manager Clark, Got. Weodbury and Bliss I'eroy on the Stand. The great trial ot Gov. Woodbury vs. The Rutland Herald for libel was finish ed Friday morning, that Is as far as the putting In ot evidence Is concornr-d. The- first witness Friday morning was Edwnrd Johnson of the Dally News, and formerly ftdltor of tho St. Johnsbury Republican. He testified In rebuttal of eomo testimony of tho defense, to the ef fect that at tho tltno of tho hearlnc on the application for the pardon of Land lord Howe of St. Johnsbury.Gov. Woodbury had stated that tho bell boys had taken liquor Into tho Van Ness House. The witness' memory was that Gov. Wood bury had said no such thine Mr. John Bon went on to say that Gov. Woodbury uald then as many times before, that he, the govornor, said that It was difficult to run a temperanco hotel, thnt ho had tried to run ono and that ho thought he had eucceoded, though liquor might havo been brought Into tho house. HEAD WAITER- SEELEY. E. E. Seeley was called to the stand next. He Is head waiter at tho Van Ness and has boon since July 21, 1633. No liquor had ever been kept or sold In the houso to his knowledge during his term ot ser vice. He had served liquor to guests If a guest askod for It. Mr. Seeley told them the houso didn't sell anything but If It would bo an accommodation he would got Jt for them by sending a boy out for It. Claret was usually asked for and some times boor. During his first eight wcoks of sorvlco ho frequently sent out for beer and ale. Ho often served wine to guests which the guests owned themselves. HO nlways explained to guests that the liquor would havo to be procured outsldo tho hotol and ho always asked for tho cash In advanoe. The only times ho paw whls koy served In the dining room were to Col. Lo Grand B. Cannon and to Henry Holt of New York. He never got any money at the offlco to procuro liquor with. Since tho first eight weeks of his connection with tho houso ho thought he had sent out for liquor between 2u and 30 times. Ho also wild he never saw liquor brought into tho dining room In glasses. Further more ho knew of no liquor glasses being Kept In the house. After he had been at tho hotel about eight weeks he heard that Mrs. II. E. Woodbury had told Mr. Clark, tho manager, that he, Seeley, had somo bottles of beer In tho storo room. Mr. Clark camo to him and asked him about It. Seeley told him It belonged to a boarder. Mr. Foote. who had brought It Into tho hotel hlmsolf. Seeley had never kept any liquor for sale. He had never told a guest that If ho wero to send out for any that thcro would bo a proflt In It for him. Ho also said that ho had never nerved any wine In tho presence of Gov. Woodbury. Mr. Seeley was then ques tioned regarding the banquet about which Messrs. Blako and Allen had testified. Be fore the banquet ho had told the collego boys that ho could servo them nothing. Ho was. however, Importuned by Rollln Woodward, and Seeley told him to wrlto about what ho wanted on a slip of paper and glvo him the money in advanco. Woodward borrowed 10 of ono of tho boys and Seeley sent a boy out for tho liquor. There woro about 23 boys In the party and the stun ordered was claret and beer, Mr. Seeley went on to speak of Mr. Stono and Mr. Dodgo who took dinner thero last summer. Thoy wanted wine, but Mr. Seoloy refused. Mr. Stono asked him again to got tho wlno and referred to a Free Mason s charm which Mr. seeley wore. This seemed to be sufficient to Seeley and ho said ho would glvo them a. bottlo of claret bolonglng to Dr. Wood' ward and replace It later, which he did, purchasing It. he thought, at Foun tain's. When summer tourists wero In the dining room he sometimes sent out for liquor for them but often refused them, In which cases they got It themselves and brought It In. Mr. Clark had told him not to get liquor for any body, If they could get It themselves. If a guost Insisted on having It and It was convonlont he would send out for It. Ho had never had nny liquor charged to a guest on tho books. NIGHT CLERK SI'ICER. Tho next witness called was A. O. Snl ccr. tho present night clerk at the hotel. Ho refuted Chapman's statement that not long ago Chapman had asked him for a gin cocktail In tho early morning. lie said that Chapman on his arrival at the hotel had asked for a room, was assigned to ono and asked for lco water. Splcer went with Chapman to tho latter s room when Chapman gave him a drink of whis key out of a bottlo he had In his grip Later Chapman asked him for liquor and was told that tho house kept none. Snl ccr said ho had a bottlo In his room and gave Chapman a drink. Splcer finished by saying that ho had never given any bell boy money to get anything without knowing what It was for and never did so to get liquor. Guests had frequently bor rowed cash, but tho bell boys had rarely got money for them and had It charged. He never knew a bell boy bringing liquor Into the hotel, but surmised It. MANAGER H. N. CLARK. Herbert N. Clark, managor of the Van Ness, first testified that the patronago of the house amounted In 14 years In round numbers to more than 400,000 guests. The present yearly avoraso of guests Is be tween 33,000 and 40,000. When Gov. Wood bury took possession of the houso ho (Clark) was Instructed that no lntoxlcat lng liquor was to bo sold and tho houso had boon run under those principles ever since. Tho liquor at banquets had been furnished by a committee ot tho peoplo Bubbles or Medals. " Best sarsaparillas." When you think of it how contradictory that term is. For there can be only ono best in anything one best sarsapa rilla, as there is one highest moun tain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilia is There's the rub I You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsapa. rilla? You could if you were chem ists. Hut then do VOU need to test it? The World's Fair Committee tested C it. and thorouehlv. Thev went behind the label on tho bottle. What did this sarsaparilia test result in? Every make of sarsaparilia shut out of the Fair except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only sarsapa rilia admitted to tho World's Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer's Sarsaparilia received the medal and awards due its merits. Re member the word "best" is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those I others are blowing more " best sarsa f parllla" bubbles since the World's air pricked the old ones. True, but Avers Sarsaparilia has the medal, Tho pin that scratches the medal' proves it gold. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not bubbles, when we say i The best sarsaparilia is Ayer's. giving tho banquet nnd tho house had absolutely nothing to do with It, and fur thermore sold none of tho tickets. Ho said ho supposed that certain boarders had private stocks of Hqu6rs for use on the toblo. lie said ho had never directed a guest to go to his room and a boy would ho sent up to furnish him with liquor If ho wanted It. Ho htul oflen directed auests to whero they could get a drink at various places In town. Guests had often asked him for liquor which ho had Invn rlably refused, but of lato years thoso re quests havo not been so frequent as lie supposed nearly every ono understood the situation. In regard to the, deposition of Judgo Bnlley of St. Albans regarding tho conversation they had one day In the hotel office, Mr. Clark said that ho didn't bellevo ho said what Judgo Bailey de posed. Ho said that ho remembered that Dr. Goodwin of New York had slopped at tho hotel. Tho registers of tho hotel were then produced In court nnd tho dates of his arrivals wero noted. Dr. Goodwin was registered 11 times In 1SSS and 1SSG. Nono of tho entries showed thnt Dr. Goodwin had paid for anything extra at tho ofilco except cigars, which was plainly regis tered. It was shown that P. W. Clement was registered on July IS, 1W, tho time of tho medical graduation. Tlotel bill nnd liv ery wero tho only things paid for. The other dates of Mr. Clement's visits wero looked up nnd It was found that no extras wero charged to him but what were clear ly Itemized In tho register. There was no chargo for liquor among tho Items. Mr. Clement's testimony was to the effect that ho had liquor charged at tho tlmo of the medical graduation. Mr. Clark continued by stntlng that he never played poker in tho hotol nnd more over rarely playe-d cards at all. Ho nevrr gave nny chips in charge of Aubrey, nnd tho only box of chips In tho house was ono that was found In a room after the occu pant had left. Money was often loaned to guests and nn entry was made on tho books. In ISDI about J423 had been charg ed In this way, and about J350 In ISM. Mr, Clark said that ho never bought the liquor used In culinary purposes but paid the bills on nn avcrago of about $70 a year. GOV. WOODBURY RECALLED. Thero was then n discussion between the attorneys regnrdlnK tho means of com munlcatlon from the part of tho American House, leased by Gov, Woodhury, and tho bar and billiard room ho had refused to take. Gov. Woodbury was recalled to tho stand nnd was questioned regarding his Instructions to " . Drew, about hav Ing the doors closed up. Ho thought that thero was hut one way through whllo tho defence thought there were two. Ho had told Mr. Drow to closo up tho doors nnd ho supposed It had been done. The Inst w.iness wns Miss Mabel Percy, Mr. Foster's secrjtary. who testified that she had examined tho hotel realstera rein tlvo to tho arrivals ot P. W. Clement nnd stated when they were. This concluded tho testimony. MUST MARRY OR DIE. A Yoitnc Girl Attempted Suicide llccnttse Hnr Pnrents Would Not Content. North Bennington, May 3.

Itllna Ileen llrtween the Seasons reriod -Kiportu of Whnnt. Now York, May 1, Bradstreot's to-morrow will say: There Is relatively less Im provement In the general trado this week, tho present partaking of a between sea sons character. Wholesale merchants in staple lines In many Instances look ahead with confidence to the autumn, and In such departments as agricultural Imple ments, building materials and hardware there Is reported a moderate revival In demand. Exports at wheat (wheat flour Included ns wheat) from both coasts ot the United States this week aro smaller than laBt week, amounting to 1,200,000 bushels, against 1,280,000 bushels last week, and totals between two and a half and threo million bushels each in corresponding weeks in threo preceding years. Total bank clearings amounted to $822, 000,000 this week, a decrcaso from last week of not quite 3 per cent and a falling off as compared with tho corresponding week last ye of 10 per cent. April bank clearings reflect continued quiet In busi ness and speculation, tho gain being only 19th of 1 per cent over April, JS95. Tho weekly totals of, business failures through out the' Untted States, whllo averaging fewer than In the weeks during tho first quarter of the year, still attract attention. The total number reported Is 251 thlH week against 240 last week, and 200 In tho last week ot April, 1805. FORGOT HIS MARRIAGE LICENSE. Hut the Telephone Obvlnted a Postpone ment nf tlm Ceremony, If current reports nro true, one of tho Queen City's younger physicians, who was married to ono of tho fair daughters In a Franklin county town a few days ago, will bo called upon for moro than tho usual number ot wedding cigars on his return from tho wedding tour. Tho pros peotlvo bridegroom left tho city In some thing of a hurry and either for this reason of through Inexperience In the laws re lating to the state ot matrimony, neglect ed to procuro his marrlago license. Tho next thing heard from tho doctor was a violent ringing of tho telephone In tho city clerk's otllco and a requost that a license bo forwarded to him by the first express. Answers to tho requisite questions wero sent over tho lino with ex traordinary speed and tho next north bound train boro tho documents necessary for tho physician's happiness, APRIL WEATHER. The mean temperature 'for the month of April waii 47 degrees, with a maximum of 82 on tho 16th and a minimum of 20 on tho 4th. Tho rain fall and melted snow amounted to onjy .00 of an Inch, Including 6 Inches of snow during tho month. The prevailing wind was from tho north and tho month was made up of 14 clear, 11 partly cloudy and 5 cloudy days. Aa com pared .with other Aprils, the mean tem perature was three degrees higher than the average for jz years, whl e the pre cipitation fell far short of tho average April-precipitation, wnicn is J.81 Inches.

Tho Sotmtur Hack In Wmlilnffton nun I'.x- plnlna tho Situation to the NurprUml X'ooplo There-He Does Not Try to "llo" Vermont. Boston. May 3.-A special despatch from Washington to the Journal says: Senator l'roctor ot Vermont nppuuri-u m the Canltol yesterday for tho first tlmo slnco tho Vermont convention, and he was very much In demand by thoso who wero anxious to know exactly -now n camo about." In view of tho reports which nave ueen prevalent during tho last two or threo days In regnrd to the senator's attitude, tho correspondent asked him to make an explanation for tho benefit of the people ot New England, of certain statcmonis which had been mode. Ho was told that somo criticism had been caused by tho fact that ho had not dono more to ndvanco the interests ot tspeaKer Reed, whoso candidacy ho was understood to favor; that ho had invited senator Thurston, an eloquent advocate of Gov. McKlnlev. to nddress tho Republican League tho night before tho convention, and that ho had hastened to Inform Mark Hanna by telegraph of the convention's act, nt the same tlmo assuring him of the support of the Vermont delegation for Gov. McKlnley. Ho replied as follows: "It does not seem to me worth while to answer tho various Incorrect statements In regard to the Vermont convention, or In regard to my nttltudo toward tho canal dates. Tho result was a surprlso to people outsldo tho State, and In the overwhelm ing sentiment for McKlnley It wn3 doubt loss a surprlso to tho ardent McKlnley men themselves. "I had not been In tho Stnto for fivo months had had hut little communication with tho people In regard to their prefer ences. It had been my declared purpose In any action I might tnko to follow and obey tho republican sentiment of tho Stato and not undertake to lead It. The peoplo of Vermont have an old, fixed habit of de ciding for themselves whnt they want, and It Is tho part ot wisdom not to Inter fere with this habit. "I did not try In tho loast to Influence tho choice of delegates to the State con vention: It would havo boon resented, very properly so, It I had. The republicans of tho State doubtless believed that If made. a delegate to St. Louis I should endeavor to falthfuly represent them, and should voto and act as I believed they would wttsh mo to in any situation that might arise, Further than to do this I had no purposo or thought "Until within a short time it appeared from the general tone of tho press that tho sentiment In bohalf of a New Eng land man, and ono so very able nnd on tlroly unexceptionable as Mr. Reed, would prevail, and that Vermont would Join tho other Now England States In a solid col umn for him. This seemed to me to bo tho probable result, and I could very heartily have Joined with It. If the con vontlon had been held six weeks or even a month earlier thcro Is little doubt that this would havo been tho result. 'But tho McKlnley sentiment had been growing very rapidly for the last fow days precodlng tho convention, and at tho last It was a tidal wavo, ground swell, cyclone. avalanche you mny tako your dholce of expression; It wns simply ov"rwhelmlns, I got homo at 2:30 o'clock In tho morning. and I didn't havo tlmo to get my break fast beforo I found out how strong tho fooling wns. Tho sentiment camo from all over tho Stat-, from small towns oven, outsldo tho ordinary channels of com munication. "Represofitatlvo Powers, for example, has boon very pronounced In his advocacy of Speaker Reed. He lives in a small town of not moro than 2500 Inhabitants, nnd It has boen known thero how he stood. Ho expressed a wish to bo elected a delegate to tho Stato convention. They elected him, but they elected four strong McKlnley men to go with him, a.nd Indorsed McKIn ley by a strong voto, four or fivo to one. That Is an Illustration of tho way senti ment was running. "It was the protection Idea moro than any enthusiasm for McKlnley In person Mr. McKlnley is well known in tha State, and ho has spoken there several times, and is well liked. But tun thing that do elded It wns his Identification with tho policy of protootlon. "As to inking Senator Thurston to Ver mont, this is tho explanation. Some tlmo ago, at tho requost of tho Republican Leaguo of Vermont, I asked Senator Fryo to visit Montpeller and address tho leaguo meeting tho night before the Stato con vontlon. Ho accepted, and said that ho would bo very Blad Indeed to go. After consulting with the Vermont members of the House, I asked Representative Dol liver, and ho accepted, Then I requested NOTICE.

Deo H STRONG'S BURLINGTON, VT,, Latest U. S. Gov't Report Senator Thurston of Nebraska to bo ono of tho speakers. Senator Thurston Is very well known In Vermont. Ho was born In Montpeller; ho married a niece of Judgo oland; nnd ho has many menus in tho State. Ho has spoken there several times. nnd they like him. I thought It fitting, therefore, that ho should bo asked to peak at tho leaguo meeting, It wns a fair representation, I thought, to have Thurston, Dolllver and Fryo, ono for Mc Klnley, ono for Allison, and tho other for Rood. All accopted, of course, on condi tion that their public duties would nllow them to lenvo Washington. When Sena tor Fryo found that tho river nnd harbor bill wns to bo under consideration by his committee, Just nt tho tlmo of tho conven tion, he was obliged to decline. Reprc- Fontntlvo Dolllver wns also unable to go. and after consulting with Mr. Orout. It was decided to ask Representative Llnney in his place, At tho tlmo I Invited Senator Thurston, remarked to him that of courso nothing would bo snld about presidential preference In I he speeches, nnd ho replied tnnt ne understood all about that. "After arriving nt Montpeller I tried to see him again, but ho wns visiting rela tives, and we did not come together until tho night of tho lencuo mooting. It I had seen him I should havo spoken again nbout not rerorring to candidates. As It was he made a very strong refereneo to Mr. Reed, and ne wos strong v ann lauded. I saw nothing unusual or Impropor In hl refer ences, anil i am suro he Intended to bo perfectly fair. I presided at tho meeting, nnd said nothing about any candidate. I told them that I was not going to namo nny- body, because I did not want them to wnsto their breadth In shouting now, but thought thnt they hnd better savo t to shout for tho nomineo of tho St. Louis convention. "I did send a despatch to Sir. Hanna. I havo forgotten lust how It was worded. but I told him thnt the Vermont conven tion had indorsed Gov. McKlnley, and that wo wero now nil for McKlnley, or some- ming ot mat Kind. I sent tho desnatch Immediately after tho resolution had been ndoptcd nrtd beforo tho adjournment of tho convention. 'When tho Stato was surely for Mc Klnley. It seemed right thnt his friends should be Informed. Somo ono has said In an Interview that control public sentiment in Vermont nnd thnt if I hnd wanted tho convention to lndorso Rood, tho Indorsement would havo been forthcoming. That Is absurd. Nobody has over been a boss In Vermont nnd I certainly would not bo fool onough to try It. Tho peoplo of Vermont nro nc- customed to making up their own mind Thoy do not like 'bosses,' nnd part of tho leenng thero has undoubtedly been duo to their belief that tho 'bosses,' so-called aro opposed to McKlnley, but tho feollnz thnt ho typified tho protection Idea was tho determining factor. Tho United Press report that Senator Proctor had sent a despatch to Mr. Man- ley was based upon a fnlso rumor. Mr. Manley received no 'such despatch and never said that ho had received one.
