Tbe averag daily circulation of the
Barre Daily Times for the week ending
Saturday was
3,284
opies, the largest paid . circulation of
any daily paper in this section.
Let the people of this city and vi
cinity bear in mind that at the public
meeting to be held in tho Barre opera
house tomorrow (Thursday) evening
they will hear something to their ad
vantage. Tuberculosis, particularly
with reference to the granite industry,
will be diftcuRsed by the Vermont State
Tuberculosis board, on invitation of the
city council of Barre.
We infer from some, utterances of
Gov. liell of Vermont ninec he granted
the reprieve to the condemned murder
ess that lie is quite dissatisfied with
himself on that subject. In which ease
he ought to know better where to Jo
cate. whatever blame, attaches to his ac
tion. Scoldinjr other people than him
self aeema somewhat misdirected. Bos
ton Herald.
It would be interesting to know what
utterances (Jov. Bell has made anent
the Bogerg case, which would indicate
his dissatisfaction. We have heard of
none, and furthermore do' not think that
Gov, Bell has made any.
In view of the fact that the Barre
city council has purchased an instru
ment for thawing out frozen water
pipes, the successful experiments in
Maine cities with similar equipment
will bo of interest. We quote from the
Thomaston, Me., Herald the following;
"The 'water department (Bangor) triel
this !means recently and the city elec
trical department will probably be
equipped in the near future with the
thawing apparatus. An experiment
was made in Brewer last winter in this
wayi A wire was strung from the
iced wire on the pole in front of tho
post office and a connection made with
the frozen pipe and another with, a
nearby hydrant to complete the circuit.
By means of transformers the high volt
age in the feed wire was reduced, and
the current applied to the frozen pipe
was of sufficient power to warm the
jiipo. enough to thaw it, and the work
ws done in a very short time;" If
equally successful results can be ob
titled in this city there will be a great
nljcf both for the city water depart
niiijit and for users of city water.
In a kindly way, the Rev. William J.
l)ason of London, who spoke in this
city jast evening, took the churches to
ttt' for their omissions rather than foi
thisr r commissions, that is, ho charged
than with not spreading out enough in
their work, lie pleaded for greater
Ireiilih, fa more catholic organization,
and every person who heard hnn speak
In'tV that what he said was true, that
the church which wraps itself up in its
own self-sufficiency has lost its useful
ness. 'Tho real mission of the church
is 'iir, to gather together a party of
jwpl; and secure a pastor whose mind
is sympathetic with their own minus
, and i.-n to shut the doors. The real
inissiei n to bo reaching out for oth
ers, ti have uppermost the "brother
hood f limn." Such thoughts as these

church people of Barre, for his sermon
last evening was to the church people
rather than to the outsiders. He told
them in so impressive and convincing a
way, yet withal, so kindly, that they
cannot fail to have their influence on
the religious life of this community.

to 40, in committee of the whole, but
was reversed in the Senate proper, 3d
to 3S.
Subsequently the Senate decided, 38
to 36, to entirely eliminate New Mexico
and Arizona from the bill, and then
Mr. Bard renewed his proposition for
the admission of New Mexico as a
state and this time the amendment
prevailed, 40 to 37, eliminating Arizona
from the bill, and establishing a state
of New Mexico and another of Okla
homa and Indian Territory. In this
form the bill passed.
The defeat of the Bard amendment
in the Senate after it had been adopted
in committeo of tho whole, prompted
Mr. Bailey to intimate that there had
been a "trade."

Sensational Testimony Brought Out in
Kentucky Murder Trial.
Loosivillc, Ky., Feb. 8, The most
sensational development of the litiga
tion over the Breathitt county feud
cases came out yesterday in the dispo
sition of Moses Feltner, a witness, who
left Kentucky nfter having been suh
poenned in the $100,000 damage suit of
Mrs. Arabella Marcutu against Judge
James llargis and others, in connection
with the killing of J. B. Marcum, says
a Post special from Winchester, Ky.
Feltncr's statement is to the effect
that he accepted from 11, F. French,
attorney for the defense, $1,000 to leave
Winchester without testifying, French
saying that . Feltner, if he did not go,
would be hanged for the murder of
Jesse Fields, committed some time ago
in Breathitt county.
French then gave Feltner more money,
the deposition says, and after spending
some time in various Ohio towns, and
Indianapolis, Feltner says he returned
to Kentucky and gave himself up as a
witness.
Feltner sas he left Winchester on
Dee. 6, the night before the taking of
testimony began in the Marcum-llargis
trial, because he believed that if he told
of his knowledge of the plots to kill
James Marcum he would be subsequent
ly killed. He told of a plot when
he, John Smith, John Abner and Tom
White hid in a rocky quarry that had
been selected as a good place to assassi
nate Marcum. lie also told of Tom
White refusing to shoot Marcum from
the court house because Marcum had his
baby in his arms.
Witness left Jackson for his homo in
Leslie county in June, 1902, and said
B. F. French same to the home of the
witness in Leslie county two or three
weeks later and told witness that the
Hargises would have to have Marcutu
killed and wanted Feltner to do it. He
said French told him Marcum was to
he killed either from the court house
of from the college building, and French
wanted Feltner to take charge of one
of the firing squads. To this Feltner
agreed, but instead he went to where
Marcum was, near Hazard, and told of
the plot. ,
A LAND CASE SETTLED.
Suit Had Been Running in Franklin
County Court Since 1897.

How Turf Plunger Boo(th l)o!!
Pool mud Cleaned tp Siife Sum.
Samuel Himes of Pittsburg, who was
soiling pools when the late George E.
Smith (Pittsburg Phil) was a lad and
who sold him bis first pool, is etill 1u
Pittsburg and recently related the fol
lowing anecdote about the noted turf
plunger:
"I have often wondered what would
have become of Smith had he uot won
that dollar combination from me, one
which netted $73. lie was but a kid in
the late seventies when be came into
the White House, on Fifth avenue,
where I was selling pools, and put up
his dollar. Ue looked to me then, as 1
recall It now, as one who was Just
ready to quit if encouraged to do so.
lie did not seem to have his heart In
his bet, and I have often thought that
had be lost that dollar he might have
gone back to the cork works and one
who became the greatest of all plun
gers would not have been brought out
But be won the combination, and I
shall never forget his face when he re
ceived the money. He never changed a
muscle. -
"Nest day be had started a book of
his own on that money. He ran a fifty
cent book among the employees of the
cork works and did so well that it was
not long until be was out as strong as
the best of us. You couldn't beat Phil
at the horse game. Even when a kid
making that little hand boak he would
tell you that you were trying to take
bis bet If you wanted a certain horse,
but be would bet you. His Judgment
was of the best."
