TWELVE REASONS

why the Trade give to the Excelsior Diary the
| preference over all others.
LIST. II Is printed on fine rose tint paper
I'd. The same quality of paper is used through
the entire line, giving just as good paper In
cheap book as IN high priced one.
Sd. It is the best finished Diary in the
market.
4th. We give you 2s5 different styles to select
| from.
9Th. quite number OF the best selling pat
terms are made by no other house.
9th. The pocket-book styles are all arranged
| TO suit the business man.
eth. Retailers want a Diary that is neat at
tractive and saleable
Sth. You Will find fewer OF them among the
old stock OF dealers, as they sell better than
any other Diary.
9TH The sale OF the Excelsior has increased
more than 900 per cent. In the last four years,
which fact shows that the retailer appreciates
them.
10th. We give attractive show cards aud post
ers, and plenty of them.
nth. They cost no more, and no les, man
other Daries-al lists and discounts being
uniform.
18th. The Excelsior Is the best retailing
Diary offered to the trade.
We intend to visit all dealers In Diaries early
in the season. II there are any, however, that
we do not reach, we Shall be pleased to send
them, on application, II line OF samples to cx-
anime In comparison with other goods.
Early orders are always tilled complete, while
late orders are apt to find the assortment
broken, and frequently the best selling STYLES
used up. 1t Is good plan to put In orders early
as payday comes no sooner than with late or
ders. We can deliver goods any time after list
OF October.

SOME OLD PRECEDENTS.

Within the past few weeks, renewed in
tCrest has been excited in the life and
career of Matthew Lyon, and new fact
has been brought out in his history. AS
illustrating the temper of the times, as well
as giving an incident in his life, which
seems to have escaped the attention of all
his biographers, it may not be uninterest-
ing to recall an event which occurred in
Rutland in October 1894. The legislature
was then in session in the "Old state house
the same building is now standing on
West street, Immediately west of the Ad-
vent chapel-and Colonel Lyon was re-
preventative from Fairhaven In a letter
from Lyon, now before us, the event is
stated to have occurred on the 1st day of
October but as the legislature did not as
semble until the second Thursday of that
month, and from another fact to which we
shall hereafter allude, it is probable that
the tenth day of October, 1894 was the first
and only time that Rutland was disgraced
with such sight. Before this time, Con
gress in order to raise funds with which to
carry ON the government, had enacted an
excise law, the heaviest taxes being levied
on distileries engaged in the manufacture
of whisky. At that day, the distilling of
whisky was considered "A proper legitimate
and respectaJIe business and was, more or
less, engaged in throughout the country.
Western Pennsylvania was more particu-
larly interested in this kind of business ;
II large proportion of her capital was in
vested therein a considerable number of
worlxmen We're employed, and upon its
profits the people of that section depended
for their actual support. Let this business
be interfered with or injured, the whole
community felt the depressing influence at
once. The excise law, of course, inter-
fered with and injured the business, all
kinds of industry were paralyzed, and, in
the excitement of the hour, all classes, re-
sident in that section of the country,
deemed the law specially and intention
ally aimed at their prosperity. The peo-
pie, without reference TO their particular
occupations, banded together to resist the
enforcement of the law ard the collection
of the excise tax on whisky. The troubles

POOL SELLING,

In the account of the races, Wednesday.
over the "Rutland trotling course" our re-
porter alluded TO some of the reasons why
the attendance was so small and the entries
were so few, but, in our judgment, he did
not 90 to the root of the matter. 1t is diff
ticult to find any species of sporting" if
we may so incorrectly term it, more at
tractive than trials of speed between
horses, and no subject in which 50 large Il
number of respectable persons are intc-
rested as in the development of this quail
ily in horses. The speed of these valuable
animals cannot be SO surely developed or
tested in any other way as by competitive
trials on course prepared for that pur-
pose. Yet while trot between fast
horses, for a purse if you please, and the
breeding and raising of fast horses are so
attractive, so full of interest. and to the Oh
tanning of fast roadstcrs so much time and
money is annually expended, ii must be
confessed that these trials Of speed are fast
going into disreputc. This is equally true,
whether they are conducted under the aus
piccs of agricultural societies, trotting as
sociations, or private individuals. Either
some step must be taken to make change,
or the trot and race will soon be classed
with dog fights and the prize ring. The
trouble is not with the associations under
whose auspices these exhibitions are held,
any more than ii is with the whole COM
munity and the officers of the law. The
peop c of Vermont are law abiding pco-
pie and they will not countcnance any
species of amusement that is always ac-
cOmpanied by an open and unbushing
violation of law. Card playing-a harm
less amusement of itself-was ostracised,
because it was so often accompanied with
gambling. Yet there were, probably, Il
thousand innocent games played to one
where money or other valuables were
staked on the result. 1t is gambling that
is bringing trials of speed into disreputc,
and fast banishing 1t from those places
that respectable, honorable persons may
attend. Agricultural societies are serious
ly considering the absolute necessity of
banishing them from their fairs, on ae-
count of the attendant pool selling. This
pool selling is a cheap and dangerous mode
OF gambling. The more dangerous because
cheap So open had this species of gamb-
ling become, that it was carried on publicly
on the grounds occupied by the state and
county agricultural societies for their fairs
So open, so shameless violation of the
laws of the state was not to be endured,
and the officers Of the societies banished
them from the grounds, The practice was
not stopped, however, but the selling was
continued elsewhere, and follows upon the
heels of every trot as regularly as the
horse and driver If trials of speed are to
continue, a combined efforts must be made
to stop pool selling.

REPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.
GAlbany Journal.
Queer things happen in newspaper OIL
ces. Recently 4 brother journalist in su.
burban town, with a flourislling weekly on
hls hands, was ObligeG to send ayoung and
inexperienced reporter to gathering where
there was some wine, many pretty women
and song or two. The reporter had some
hour or two in which to write up his ac-
count, and he asked our editorial friend
what he would say about the music "Oh."
was the reply, "Say Miss b. sang with ten
derness Miss G. played with brilllancy. Mr.
y sang with fire and something Of that
sort, and make few comparisons, YOU
know" That reporter was discharged the
very next morning. A portion of his notice
read as follows: "Nliss B. sang cry tender
ly, ms tender as young spring lamb with
mint sauce" etc. "Miss G. played as bril-.
liant as Il bunch Of fre-crackers on a dark
night, or as brilliant as mcteoric shower"
etc. ''Mr y sang with so much fire that
burned up three sheets of music and set the
parlOr curtains all ablaZe."
