DETERMINATIONS TO c. w. ROBERTS

the Chief Magistrate of Winnipeg.
 MT. c. w. Roberts, general agent for the Rentz-Santley company, was agreeably sur prised Saturday afternoon when he received from New York an elegant silver-topped malacs cane with gold head, on which MT. Roberts Dame is inscribed. The cane is beautiful one and would make any recipient happy. The cane is a present from Louis M. Frey, associate manager of the Peoples Theater in Brooklyn, N. Y., where the Rentz-Santley company played last week un- der the management of Mr. Roberts. MT. Roberts has recently received 8 new silk hat which was presented to him from Louis A. Phillips, proprietor of the same theater. Two such tokens of friendship from one theater attest the popularity of MT. Roberts.
 Last August MT. Roberts travelled through Canada as agent for large company, and was at Winnipeg soon after Lieut.. Howard of this city closed his successful career with the Gatling gun in the Northwest. At the Leland House in Winnipeg MT. Roberts net the chief magistrate of the city who compi- mented Lieutenant Howard literally for his action with the gun. Said he: "We owe a great deal to that man Howard and we largely attribute the nasty termination of the rebellion to the skillful manipulations of that gun. The Indians and half breeds were in terror of us." The chief magistrate continued: f'We do not ropose to let the affair rest but we intend to compliment him in such way that all true Americans will envy him." The proprietor of the hotel Neland House,) who was present at the in terview, said to MT. Roberts, "He has told you what everyone says of Howard.' Said MT. Roberts. in reference to the above quot ed conversation, was proud 10 hear one of our young countrymen so well spoken of.
 As MT. Roberts and a friend of Lieutenant Howard were out for walk yesterday after noon they visited the armory, which is elab- orately decorated for the reception which the Sarsfelds tender to their guests tomorrow night. After MT. Roberts had been shown about the armory, which he complimented highly, he was invited by Lieutenant How ard to visit the pleasant room of the Gatling gun company, where with cigars the after | noon was passed pleasantly. The visit was greatly enjoyed and MT. Roberts expressed much pleasure at making the acquaintance of Lieutenant Howard,

The literary, scientific and musical asso- citation known as the New York Sorosis held it's opening session recently, Mrs Jennie c. Croly Gennie June), the president, in the chair The October social gathering is known as Philanthropy Day." and the question for discussion was f1s individual or associa- ted effort better adapted to reduce the amount of evil and poverty in the world?" Mrs. Annie W. Fuller, wife of ex-Governor Fuller was chairman of the committee hay ing the question in charge. Papers were presented and remarks made by Mrs. En- ninine A. Smith, who is also Fellow of the American association for the Advancement of Science; by Rev. Phebe A. Hanaford of New Haven, who is the first vice-president; by Mrs. M Louise Thomas of Philadelphia, who is second vice president; by Rev. Caro- line A. Soule, late missionary abroad; by Mrs. Caroline B. Buell. of New York, the corresponding secretary of the Woman's Christian temperance union, and others. Music and recitations also enlivened the hour.
 The result of the discussion showed large leaning towards associated effort, but final resting upon the fact that individual and as sociated effort should be iudiciously blended.
 Delmonicos, where the club always meets and lunches, was scarcely large enough for the full attendance of members and their guests, and all seemed rejoiced that the va cation was at an end. The social and busl- ness meetings are held alternately on the 1st and Sd Mondays of each month This is the oldest woman's club in the world and has been the mother of many similar associa- tions, including that known as the Woman's Congress or the Association for the Ad- vancement of Women"

BASE BALL IN A NEW LIGHT.

AS | sat watching a game of base
ball the other day, the thought
struck me that I should attempt to
draw some idea besides that of mere
sport out of the proceedings, and I
give the benefit of the result to the
world in general. The first thing
that struck me was the need of
united action on the part of persons
engaged in a warfare against COM
mon enemy of any description.
Then we must have leader, one
who has good planning capacity, a
ready mind and the confidence OF
the rank and file. See, now, how
the captain of the club places his
men; this man is sure to stand by
and guard well his post, and he is
put at first base; this man has quick
motion and perception and courage
to face hot shot, and he is located
as short stop; this man can fight
best at long range, and prevent con-
fusion by his solidity as a hacker, so
he goes into the field; this man
deals heavy blow and has a repu-
tation for being chad man." so he
acts as pitcher, while another man
has a talent for standing up, and,
keeping an eye on the whole field,
working in conjunction with the en-
tire force, and he goes in as catcher.
Thus the leader of the defensive
plans his campaign and awaits the
attack.
Now look on the aggressive side.
See different kinds of men typified
in the batsmen as they face the field.
Here is man who walks up, grasps
his bat as though he was "to the
manor born, and deals a blow that
sends the ball flying outside the out

posts, and scores one for his side in |
such a natural, easy way as to be-
speak at once the confident man
who has only done what he expected
to do. Then comes the man who
picks up his bat and looks scared,
and he strikes as if he would be
worse demoralized if he did hit the
ball than if he didn't. He stands
for the timid man. Here comes the
man who never does do anything.
He picks up the bat and strikes at
random. He never did hit the
mark; he never expects to. His
own party is down on hun, and he
don't care. He has his talent hidden
somewhere, but in the particular
field he is now he is not a success
and he knows it. He represents the
disheartened man. Here comes the
favorite. When he was young he
made hit somewhere; he has a
jaunty, pleasing way; everybody
likes him, and he faces the ball and
feels we'll because he knows he is to
be applauded if he does well and
the blame put on someone else if he
! fails. He is the accidental man.
Now comes the tricky man. His
own side don't like him; they can't
depend on him any more than his
enemies can judge him. He aims
for left field and fouls on the right.
He is type of too frequent class
of men. He gets his base on six
balls one time and goes off at half
cock like rusty gun the next time
When the game is over see every
body try to lay the blame for de-
feat on someone else. 81 played my
game"-"1 didn't sell once"-1

did, it was the other fellow who
spoiled your victory! And now how
about the umpire. can't dispose
of him. Very often he wants t.
dispose of himself and can't. He
holds bad position. He is not al
arbitrator; he makes his decisions
but they may be overruled; both
sides condemn him, yet there ht

of the game turn, but l cannot liker
him to any earthly position, and if
have done so with the other actors

THE SEASON OF THE FAIRS.

The most interesting season of the
year, in our agricultural districts,
has arrived: the season of the fairs
There is no portion of the year
without its peculiarities in various
ways and pleasures; summer, winter,
spring or autumn. In the winter
time our enjoyments are of the
bone and Preside, out-of-door ga tn
erings are impossible. The festi-
val of Thanksgiving Is limited to
family gatherings, in which family
reunions are more complete than at
any other period of the year. In
the summer, opportunities for eva
cations" are improved if ever, but
with most people the law of labor
enforces itself the year round. The
holidays for social intercourse are
exceedingly limited in this agricul-
tural country, more SO than the i'm
proved condition of the people from
year to year would seem to require.
MeE should be social in order to at
tain to their greatest usefulness, and
this is reached through their as
ISOLATION with each other. The use
and volume of language is improved
or lost, in accordance with the ex-
ercise of social privileges. Man
knows his own strength only by
comparison with others, and the
same may be said to be true Of

A suit has been begun in the
United States Circuit Court of New
York to test the constitutionality of
the Civil Service law. On the petit
ton of ''the United States ex rel.
James A. Huxley" a quo warranto
order was granted by Judge Wal
lace, returnable on the 25th inst,
requiring Dorman B. Eaton and the
other Civil Service Commissioners
to show cause before the court why
the defendants exercised unconsti-
tutional powers. The petition sets
forth in complaint the acts and du-
ties of the Commissioners under the
Civil Service act, and urges that the
defendants, under color of the act,
are limiting the powers of and di-
vesting the President of the duties
and responsibilities vested in him by
the Constitution, limiting his power
and choice of nomination to persons
presented to him by defendants,
and prohibiting said President from
appointing any other citizen or per-
son to office, and so compel the
President to submit qualifications
and fitness of nominations of per-
sons for public service to them in
stead of to the Senate of the United
States after nominations, as required
by the Constitution. 1t is urged in
the petition that the President can
not exercise his constitutional power
to appoint at his discretion; the de-
PENDANTS under color of the Civil
Service act supervise the conduct of
the officers of the Government as
mentioned in sections IL, Is, of the
act, usurped and exercised powers
and duties which cannot be legally
delegated to nor invested in them
by citizens of the United States.
The complainant then asks for a
writ compelling the Commissioners
to answer by what right they exer-
else or claim to exercise the right
or power. or do duties, acts or the
things set forth, and that the rule
be made that this information be
filed and that the defendants afore-
said show cause why the aforesaid
information should not be filed.

BE PRACTICAL.

Be practical. The mo st dignified
and best appearing man is he who
initiates nature the closest. No, we
don't mean initiates, we mean who
leaves everything to nature; and
the worst is he who undertakes I'M
natural swells. Said a lady TO a
companion, 81 would give most any
thing if l could walk across the hall
in the face of a company with the
easy grace you do" "Then forget
that there is anyone in the hall, or
think nothing about it," was the
reply.
Many one has nice and accurate
theories of life and yet accompllshes
nothing because he is not practical.
Above all things should education
be practical The mechanical man.
ner in which the country scholar is
required to commit some mathe-
matical rule to memory amounts to
little, But let him do something
with it and he will know its nature
and all its operations. After the
student has learned a rule let him
learn to put it in practice. When he
becomes familiar with the rule lei
him go and reduce it to practice
Send the boy out to do business
actual business from the schoolroom
Let him go and measure a pile Of
boards or wood, or collect a note

nothing. Put them in practice. Ii
short, do something which will
bring about some results.

cattle, horses and domesticated
animals. 1t is by comparison that
We judge most correctly of volume,
wealth, beauty and the things which
go to make mp the world. AT the
fair these comparisons are made.
There are few or no occasions in
which so much of general interest is
combined as in our we'll regulated
agricultural and mechanical fairs.
Here the opportunity is given for
intercourse Of people throughout the
region of country in which the fair
is held; those who have no similar
privilege at any other season of the
year. And it is open to all classes,
therefore it is the most democratic
and popular of any gathering. If
the features of the fair were limited
to this one it would then be both
profitable and useful. But without
attractions the people generally do
not assemble. In order that they
may be gathered for their own So
cial advantage, some attraction or
inducement must be manifest. And
this attraction should be something
that attracts; something in which
the great portion of the people are
interested; this in Vermont is the
fair.
We obtain our language and ideas
largely from others; from reading
and observation. Life is too short
to make much Roadway within the
limit of our own cogitations. Our
ideas of things are more correctly
formed by observation, by what we
see with our own eyes. Every OPP
portunity then should be improved
upon to see. 1t is a mistaken notion
to suppose that one can be confined
in one spot or position all his life
and be capable of Judging widely
and well. We are the better able
ourselves to improve, from the faults
and virtues we see in others. The
farmer is enabled to make use OIL
what he sees to help himself along
in his own line of business. HI
should read and see both, no les'
than those engaged in other occupa
tions. With the same faculties
those who read and see the most de
velop the most readily and keep
nearest to the front. The oppor
tunities of the fair should not bt
lost.
The foundation of all this is tc
live, and learn to live by the bes
methods, and in the best way. Bust
ness thrives best on healthy stimu
lants and honorable rivalries. The
farmer who strives to produce the
best quality and the most, is the best
citizen. Men walk the fastest side
by side. Cavalry horses in the ser
vice walk much faster than singly
and alone. One farmers cattle and
sheep are gradually bettered as he
witnesses improvements in his
neigkbors'. The spirit of emulation
leads the advance of the great army
of progress, and emulation is among
agriculturists nourished at the fair
The progress of the world should
not be behind in agriculture. Ag.
riculture is the great staff of life
and should lead off with honor to
itself and dignity. Where labor is
the most honorable, there agricu,.
ture prospers the best. The agricul.
tural exhibitions throughout the
little state of Vermont this fall will
be numerous, and of untold influence
for good upon the commonwealth
For every good and wholesome
reason they should be we'll attended.

lives; also one Indian. The body Of
Powers was recovered on the 29th and
brought to juneau and buried. The body
OF the Indian was also recovered. Cush'
