A RUSSIAN FARCE SENDING CLORDO HOME As a Repiesentative of the Baltic Fleet Was Only Army Major, Guest of Admiral Rojestvensky. St. Petersburg, Nov. 7. M. Clordo, one of the oiliceis who landed from the. Bal tic fleet at Vigo and who proceeded to SU Petersburg as a naval officer, is nothing but ft major in the army.

The fact that Admiral Rojestvensky left him behind as a responsible officer who would give details of the Dogger bank affair was nothing less than mockery to England.

Says Republicans Will Carry New. York By Good-Sized Majority. Burlington, Nov. 7. Congrsssman D. J. Foster returned yesterday to Bur lington after being -absent five weeks on a campaign tonr through several states. Mr. Foster is confident that President Roosevelt will be triumphant ly re-elected. Mr. Foster thinks that Roosevelt will carry New York by a good-sized ma jority, lie was greeted with largo au diences in the various places where he spoke and tho gatherings were all that could be desired in point of enthusiasm. In speaking of Missouri Mr. Foster said that it was hardly probable that the Republicans would carry the state this year but? that tho Republican vote was largely increasing and in a few years he thought the state would be in the Republican column. THE GRANITE INDUSTRY. And Its Relations to the Present Cam paign in New York. One of the circulars distributed in New York state during the present cam paign reads as follows: Do you know that the Republican ad ministration of the state of New York has decided to use cement and iron in the work of enlarging the Erie Canal! Do you know that 00,000 stonecutters and masons are thus to bo deprived of employment and good wages? Do you realize that this plan of the Republican state engineers discriminates against the entire stone industry of New York, and favors the Iron and Cement Trusts of other states, taking thusands of dollars from circulation in home trade and rob bing New York taxpayers of benefits which should accompany tho expendi ture of their own public money? And is it necessary to tell you that this Republican indifference toward the wel fare of New York state employers and wage-earners can only be rebuked by voting for a change in the stato ad uiinist ration?

Fumbles by .Home Team .Prevented Doubling Score of 18 to 0. The Visitors Were Out Classed. In the fust game of the season be tween the two rival schools, Goddard seminary defeated Montpelier seminary at foot ball on tho local campus Satur day afternoon by a score of 18 to 0. There was a crowd present that com pletely lined both sides of tho gridiron but owing to the one sided condition of the game there was le.-s enthusiasm aroused than at any game played by the two schools for a long time. Mont pelier was clearly no match for her op ponents from the very start of the game, an 1 had it not been for Goddard's many fumbles aud nunplays the score wonld have been easily double mhat it was. Though both teams are light this year Goddard's representatives appear ed in much better physical condition and played a strong, snappy game which Montpelier could not stop, Goddard held Montpelier three times for downs and forced them to punt four times. Goddard lost tho ball but once on downs, punted once and tried a drop kick for the goal the last half of the game. Capt. Dunham, Knapp, Turner and Martin played a great game for Goddard, Martin's work at rushing the ball was a feature of the game, he mak ing two touchdowns after dodging through nearly the whole M. S. team each time. Ryan made the longest run of the game, by getting around God dard's right ent for sixty yards just before the game ended. Goddard started the game by kicking to Montpelier and in four minutes from the kick olf Goddard had gained the ball and made her first tonchdown. Mont pelier was forced to punt soon after the kick off and Goddard secured tho ball on the M. S. 50 yard line. In sis rush es, insluding a 20 yard run by Dunham, Martin scored the touchdown. Goddard again kicked off and after an unsuccssf ul attempt to gain M. 8. again punted to the center of tho field. Knapp made 13 yards on tho first rush and Dunham added 10 more around right end. On a trick pass Knapp gained 7 yards and Eraser went through the line for five more. Turner hurdled theeen etr for two yards and Knapp scored the touchdown. In the third kiek-otT Davis was down ed by Knapp on the 25 yard line. Twice M. S. failed to gain and then gave the signal for a punt but Davis faked the punt and started with the ball to run around left end but was stopped before he could make the necessary distance and the ball went to Goddard. On the first rush Dunham carried tho ball 25 yards by Montpelier'a right end for a touchdown but the umpire caught Hunt holding and would not allow the score, taking the ball back to the 15 yard line. It proved no loss to Goddard, however, as Martin carried the pigskin across the lino on the first rush after sliding through a half dozen Montpelier play ers who were after him. The home team again kicked off. Montpelier was soon forced to punt and Goddard received the ball near the cen ter of tho field. Here for the only time during the game M. S. held for downs just as time was called. In the last half Goddard played a loose game and once lost an easy tonch down by fumbling. Montpelier kicked off. Hunt received the ball and was downed on the 17 yard line. Dunham made five yards and Martin punted 25 yards to M, S., who soon returned the punt to Turner who dropped the ball and M. S. secured it on their own 50 yard line. Montpelier then braced up and gained steadily to Goddard's 10 yard line. Here Goddard held for ilowns and recovering the ball rushed back with two 20 yard runs by Dunham and Knapp and two 15 yard runs by Martin to within 3 yards of the goal line where Goddard fumbled. Tho ball rolled across the line and M. S. fell on it for t touch back. Montpelier kicked out from the 25 yard line and Goddard rushed tho ball to the 15 yard line where Martin tried a drop goal kick for the goal but failed. M. S. again kicked from the 25 yard line. After a few rnshes Goddard lost the ball to M. S. on a fumble. On the first rush by If. S. Ryan got by left end and and ran sixty yards to Goddard's 35 yard line before , bo was tackled. Twice Goddard threw the visitors back and M. S. started to punt but Davis dropped the litrow and was downed as the whistlo blew for time up. The line up: GODDARD.

The secret of it; the Goddard players helped each other. Results of college foot ball games will le found on the second page. Montpelier's supporters cheered val iantly in the face of certain defeat. Hnnt, Goddard's spider end, played a plucky game considering his light weight. In weight the teams were well match ed but in every other respect Goddard was superior. Miserable fnmhles lost the home team twelve other jwiints, Turner and Eraser being the chief offenders. "Jack" Eraser, the base ball twirler, looked odd in a foot ball uniform. But for a man w ho poses only as a base ball player he showed up well. With only mediocre material Coach Cannell has worked up a good school team. His services to the sehool in the athletic line are invaluable. Quarterback Martin of the Goddard team was easily one of the stars of the game. His dodging runs through a broken field were well executed. Only three regular players and one substitute of lust year's team were on the gridiron Saturday. They were White, Dunham, Turner and Knapp. Tho last three are Barre boys. With the exception of the chief, Bane's entire police force, with several specials, was on. the field, but the event was tame compared with previous en counters between the two schools. "Jed" Davis, the Montpelier fullback, fared no better than his illustrious namesake. He was laid out twice and once those who were attending hint thought he was out of the game for a certainty. He was unconscious from a rap on the head. NORTH BARRE DEFEATED. Second Team of Norwich University- Won Saturday by Score of 10 to 0. Northfiedld, Nov. 7. Norwich Uni versify second team Saturday defeated North Barre, 10 to 0. The Barre boys played a plucky game aud though they were unable to score themselves they held the home team from scoring until the last seven minutes of the game when Ransom scored the first touchdown and two minutes before the game was called Loekswood made an excellent goal from the field, drop kicking from the 35 yanl line.

LOUIS EXPOSITION Declares That Only Real Benefit Was to the Firm Which Had Charge of the Exhibit. In a letter to the Monumental News, Pearl V. Rapalee declares that the Barre granite exhibit at the St. Louis fair was t tun ure. lie thinks that the firm in charge is the one which was benefitted thereby. His letter is as follows: The biir is something wonderful and one who has not been there cannot imag ine what a grand sight and lesson it really is. Every one who can possibly afford it ought to see the fair. I was, however, very much disappointed at not finding a larger and more extensive dis- ' play of monumental work. Practically the only exhibit of such work was that of the Barro Branite Manufacturers' As- ociation, and that was managed in such a way that it was of very little interest or benefit to the average dealer. With tho exception of a sign bearing the words, "Barre Granite Exhibit," there was no information that would interest the retailer to be had. The exhibit was in charge of a local St. Louis firm, who seemed to be so afraid that some other dealer would find out something new that they could give no information as to tho exhibit except that it was Bane granite. Imagine my surprise when in answer to a question as to who made a certain job aud what particular stock it was made of, I was told by the one in charge that he did not know, and was still more surprised to have him tell me he had no idea of the price of some of the jobs, and yet liile I was there I heard him giving a prospective cus tomer prices on this same work. It seems strange that a man would know what to seel a job for and yet not have a pretty good idea of what it cost. One would have thought that the exhibit was that of this said local firm, as they had numerous designs with their names on, leaning on the monuments. All the advertising matter was their own, and the general public was given, to under stand that it was. Now, it seems to mo that if the ob ject of the Bane Granite Manufacturers' Association was to advertise Barre gran ite they have made a miserable failure. It is the retailer who is interested in Barre granite, not the general public, but it looked as if such was tho case with this exhibit. A retailer sells just whatever he takes a notion to, and it would seem to me that it was the retailer that they should have tried to interest. Jf this Association had hired a man to take, charge of their display as an exhibit, not as a saleroom, and had tried to interest the retail trade, then they might have reaped somo benefit. Be yond the firm in charge I failed to see who reaped any benefit by this exhibit; most certainly the B. G. Association has not, except to tho extent of selling ft few jobs they had on exhibition, for the very reason that the retail trade has been ignored throughout and they have no more reason for using Barre now than before. It is to bo hoped that if there is ever another fair and there are any ex hibits of this kindand there ought to bo more that they w ill be in charge of some one who can and will givo those that are the most interested some infor mation if they wish it. It think the manufacturers made a big mistake by not having a much larger exhibit than thev did. I believe tho most of the dealers are interested in who the maker of each and every job was, and I feel he has a right to know. I would like to hear from other dealers who have been to St. Louis.
