All the income-tax returns made to the treasury have been destroyed by a committee of clerks appointed for that purpose. The Chamberlain syndicate, which has stores in Keene, Nashua, Fitchburg, Burlington, Brandon and Vergennes, will open a large department store in Rutland Sept. 1. The project of an electric railroad between Springfield, Vt., and Charlestown, N. H., is being agitated again, and the stockholders are to elect directors June 4. The "Ancients and Honorables" are in high feather. The Prince of Wales has accepted an invitation to dine with the company in London Thursday, July 9. Active work has been begun to raise the funds for the memorial to Richard M. Hunt, the architect, which is to be built with Daniel C. French as sculptor and Bruce Price as architect. The bank of New England, at Manchester, N. H., suspended business yesterday by consent of the bank commissioners of the state. The bank was one of the institutions which suffered during the storm of 1893. The seventh annual convention of the Medal of Honor legion will be held in Fanueil hall, Boston, on Bunker Hill day, June 17. Headquarters will be at the American House, and an interesting program of entertainment has been arranged. A Chicago engineer has a project for building an immense wall from the Rocky Mountains to the head of Lake Superior, and is confident that it will keep cold waves out of the country. This is not a good season to talk about such things, however. During last year the town of Bradford, England, increased its exports of coatings to the United States from $1,200,000 to $7,500,000, and of "stuff goods" from $2,200,000 to $8,400,000. It is hardly necessary to add that the people of Bradford enthusiastically indorse our Democratic tariff policy. A fire in North Bennington Wednesday destroyed two storehouses containing wall paper and a workshop belonging to the Stark Paper company, also barns belonging to George Morse and Frank Powers. The Stark Paper company's loss is about $4500 and the loss on the barns $1500. The losses are fully covered by insurance. The people who now owe or must yield allegiance to the Czar of Russia number nearly double the population of the United States. The empire extends over a seventh of the earth's land surface. For the defence of this vast realm Russia can bring into active service about $2,600,000 men, but the possible war footing is estimated at 7,800,000. McKinley pocket-knives, of the finest tempered American steel, the handles containing photos of the champion of protection and the White House, are the latest eampaign tokens to make their appearance in Washington. These knives were manufactured to order at Canton, Ohio, where McKinley lives, and those who have been honored by receiving them are very much elated at such a distinction. Lieut. Peary will start for Greenland again in July, but on a quest that will involve few risks or hardships. He is to go to Cape York to secure the great meteorite which he discovered last year and which is believed to be the largest in the world. The trip will, therefore, be only a summer one. With him will go a scientific party from Cornell university, headed by Prof. R. S. Tarr, the geologist. Prof. C. E. Putney has resigned as principal of St. Johnsbury academy. He has been connected with the institution 23 years, the last 14 years as principal. The salaries of the other teachers at the academy have been reduced. The prospect is that the institution will be crippled by the reduction in its income. A largepart of the endowment of the academy is in the stock of the Fairbanks company, which does not pay as large a per cent as formerly.
