BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES
A RECOMMENDATIONS.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
At season when the Providence Of God has
manifested itself in the visitation Of fearful pes
tilence, which is spreading its ravagcs through
out the land, it is fitting that people, whose re-
lance has ever been on His Protection, should
humble themselves before His Throne; aud,
while acknowledging pas; transgressious, ask
continuance of Divine Mercy.
1t is, therefore, earnestly recommended that
The first Friday in August be observed through
out the United States as day Of Fasting, HUI
initiation, aud Prayer. All business will be sus-
pended in the various branches OF the public SER
vice on that day; aud it Is recommended to per-
sons Of all religious denominations to abstain, as
far as practicable, from secular occupations, aud
to assemble in their respective places OF Public
Worship, to acknowledge the Irfnite Goodness
which has watched over our existence a ma
ton and so long crowned US with manifold hles-
sings; and 10 impIore the Almighty, IN His own
good time, to stay the destroying hand which is
now lifting up against US.

The MONTPELIER Conventional

A long but specious article appears in the
Vermont Patriot of this week in reference to the
Montpelier Conventions. We regret that we
have no room to answer it in to days paper. We
shall do so in another number, and speak more
particularly of the operations OF that Montpelier

Railroad Travel in Vermont.

France used to celebrate the "thiee glorious
days" of the revolution: henceforth the good
people of Central and Eastern Vermont will
count the Sd, 9TH and 9Th of July, 1919, as an
era us their three glorious days" The Pas
sumpslc and Vermont Central roads carried ex.
cursion parties for half price, and both we're pat
ronized by rush OF people. We are not able
TO speak Of The Possumpsic from personal obser-
walton: Of the Central road we can. Tho re.
ceipts on the Central, for passengers only on
the Sd, 4th and 9Th, amounted to 50 500. OF
the number Of passengers there was no accurate
account: the fact being that the ticket Offices
were able to furnish tickets in art ony and the
Conductors were lett iul employment in taking
fares. AS near as can be asccraned, the mum
Der Of passengers on the Central road was TO-
600 on the three days, and not Ear from half OF
this number were between Montpelier and Nortll-
field stations. The Company furnished al. the
cars possibly to be obtained, using platform carr
also but there were noie persons ready to ride
| than could be carried. Of course the trains
we're excessively crowded and TO the praise Of
the Supernte nGenl, Conductors aud Engineers
be it said, that not the slightest accident Of any
sort occurred.

Facts for Free Soil Wings.

IN 1913 you were betrayed by the Ex-Liberty
leaders into the hands of the locofocos at Buffa
10. Martin Van Buren,, Benz. f. Butler and John
Van Buren, became your King, Priest and Proph-
ct, stripped you of your wing principles and
trimmed even the anti .sovery platform to suit
the scrupes Of the man who once pledged him
self to veto abolition in the District! In 1913,
too, The Liberty party Of Vermont was surren.
dered TO the lead of Locotocos. For there was
no need of the coalition OF May last TO effect
that the work was done last yedr-and /, was
precisely because Barber a. Go. did control the
free soil party, that Wins and Eastman were
ready to sell out the old line locofDcracy and
iuin the new. To demonstrate this point just
take these facts. lS4l was the first year the
Liberty party run n state ticket-u received
3O30 votes; III 1913 It received 15,C35-galt
IL 500. But the total vote Of all parties in ls4l
was AZ, G0l total in lS48 50,66l increased to
tai vote 1910. Let us give that increase To tho
Liberty ticket considering il gathered equally
from the other two parties: deuuct ii from H.,

still gain Of 9029 votes to be accounted
for. Where did these votes come irom' W.

STRANGE SToRY.-A Paris correspondent of
the ST. Louis Republican relates the following
strange but interesting story:
Several years ago, rich miller, living in one Of
the provinces, became so unhappy by the death of
his wife, that placing his only child girl Of only
ten years OF age, in a convent he repaired TO q
monastery near Paris, and became monk. Du-
ring six or seven years he led most pous lifs but
from the gloom of his cell he Thought often of his
daughter. The desire 20 see her grew so much
upon hlm, that he at last resolved to omen cor
respondence with her; the answers he received to
ms letters were such as 10 Fe-awaken all the afee-
IONS Of other days within his bosom. The Young
girl, on her side, was no less eager to see. oncs
more, a parent whose early tenderness she still re-
membered. With resolution SURPRISING IN one Of
heF age she quilted the convent dressed herself In
male attire, and sOughg the monastery in which
her father resided. She there assumed The IL nm
Oh the order, and was named brother Robert. Size
was then but seventeen years Of age She toOk
care not TO reveal herself TO her father until the
irrevocable vow had been pronounced; when at
last she followed him to his cell and told her story
The JOY he expressed at folding his dear child once
more to his heart, and the regret which her act OF
devotion caused him, brought on fever. which
ended his life in few days
The young girl found herself now in a sitUatior,
which nothing but the religious education she had
received could have enabled her TO bear De-
prIyed OF the support which the daily sight of her
father would have given her, she valianty fortified
herself m every possible way in order to keen down,
the worldly regrets which arose in her heart, She
became the example Of the convent, and the sane
nty of Friar Robert was spread abroad in an
France. The most holy offices were eoniited prin-
cipaly to her; it was she who was sent 10 pray bv
the bedside of the dying, and to console the az
hicted. But she did an immense deal of good
among the young girls of Paris, whom the world
and It's pleasures had drawn from the path of duty
To these she never wearied Of talking; her humil-
ity surprised them the simplicity of her soul and
the sweetness of her voice charmed them COM
pletely; and Friar Robert rarely failed in bringing
thess wanderers back to the right way
AT last. however, SANDER attacked the fair fame
Of Friar Robert, and he was accused of being too
fond of visiting female Sinners The Able Of the
monastery imposed upon the pretended brother. as
penitence, TO serve the whole community, and to
do the most repugnant and the toughest work.
She dld all without a muFmuF, and during three
years accomplished the rude duties laid upon her
without faltering in single one.
Last week she died, and the remorse of the
monks may well be imagined when If was discov-
cred that It was sister instead of brother whom
they had been furnishing so long.
One more saint will now, doubtless be added to
the already overlooking calendar.
