The W. c. T. Z. of Vermont, under
the excellent leadership of their presi-
dent, Mrs. E. Ct. Greene, held, during
the summer successful institutes in
most of the counties. a regular plan
was adopted, the departments of Leg
islation, Scientific Instruction, Hy-
giene, etc, discussed by addresses.
and studied in classes. Every where
these institutes were held, ministers,
lawyers and doctors, were interested
listeners and helpers.
1t has been said that 'the vice
against which woman sets her face

common womanhood, let us turn upon

If the temperance cause lies at the
foundation of all social aud political rec
form, as says the great Corn Law Re-
former, then there will naturally be
but two parties in the land, one which
bases governmental reform on The tenn
perance cause and one which denies il
this foundation. In that view of the
case the present Prohibition party and
the Democratic party fill the demand.
The Republican party becomes the
third party: without cause, without
mission and soon to be without a
constituency.

WILLIE sPRAGUEs MARRIAGE.
A Runaway M atch with the Sister OF His
Fathers Wife.

From the Nea0 York World.
NARRAGANsETT PIER, Il. l., July "a
When Mrs. Kate Chase Sprague, daugh-
ter of the late Chief Justice Salmon z.
Chase, secured a divorce from her hus-
band, ex-Gov. William sprague, she also
secured the custody of hec three youngest
children-Ethel, Kate and PortIa. Willie,
the Oldest child and only son, elected to
remain with his father. Mrs. Sprague re-
sumed her maiden name, and is now liY-
ing at Fontainebleau, educating the three
girls there. Ethel, the eldest and now IA
years of age, is child of remarkable
talent, has been carefully trained under
her mothers own eye, and has been given
all the benefit of that mothers unusual
cultivation and pee 2Dal acquaintance
with the best minds In this country and
in almost every capital Of Europe.
Within year or sixteen months after
the divorce Gov. Sprague married a young
woman from West Virginia, who had
been divorced from her husband, COM
mercial traveller from Ohio. Her sister
accompanied her TO "Can0nchet," the
once beautiful country seat here, and the
two have been conspicuous figures at the
Casino and on the beach in summer.
Willie Sprague has been allowed to grow
up almost Without attention. For several
summers after he left his mothers care
he roamed about the village, roughly clad
in winter and barefoOted and cOatless in
summer. He was once seen with news
boys selling the daily newspapers, and his
| shooting escaDade Of three or four years
ago will be remembered.
To-day the announcement is made that
he was married yesterday to Miss Avis
Weed, the sister of his fathers second
wife. The preparations for the marriage
were kept very quiet. The young couple,
NbOth OF whom are under 81 years Of age,
returned here this morning and an
! nOunced themselves as man aud wife.
| The Governor and Mrs. Sprague are re-
ported as content over the match, and the
entire family are now at CanOnchet.

people who 90 to theatres are, of COURSE
strangers, who seem To be more numerous
in summer than in winter. Sidney Roseu-
fields presentation OF "The Mikad0," Gil
bert SulliYan's latest opera, at the
Union Square theatre on Monday night in
defiance equally OF the heat and an
injunction, seems to SAVIOR of mid
summer madness. Although he
gave but one representation, he is as
guilty OF contempt of court, OF course, as
If he had given twenty, and, as he could
make nothing Of single performance,
his conduct is unexplicable, except on the
ground OF emotional insanity due TO the
heat. His performance, by the way, was
one calculated % make Sir Arthur Sulli-
van gasp and stare. Those who saw and
heard 10 will probably never care to
hear anything he cOmpOses again. Never
was good thing so ruined by the way 1t
was performed.
BARRooMS HERE HAVE CHANGED
WITHIN THE LAST TEN YEARs.
Time was when only drinks could be
obtained at the best regulated bar, and
there was nothing 10 divert the eye or en-
tertain the mind between drinks. Now 10
Is not prosperous saloon which does not
lay out lunch far better than the price
of single drink VIII purchase in an
humble restaurant, and those of the bet
ter class set forth spread that Is worth
the price Of several drinks at the rate of
two for quarter. Such have an obliglng
negro waiter to serve the customers, and
he, divining their wishes, een before they
are formed, offers them soup and after
wards something solder before they ask
for IL. Saloons of this sort
have the stock quotations 20 interest
brokers, and nearly every saloon
has the latest base ball and racing re-
ports and often sporting news. Signs an
nOunoing this fact are To be seen in their
windows, and also announcements that
the use of a telephone and the services OF
bOotblack may be obtained inside. As
il costs from 10 10 20 cents TO use a tele-
phone in a district telegraph office, the
first of those latter announcements must
draw great deal of custom, for "a man
who uses barrOOm telephone naturally
pays for the privilege by spending as
much in drinks as 1t would cost him TO
telephone at the regular rates. Stokes
barToOm in the Hoffman house, is, OF
course, not the only one which boasts OF
works of art. There are other pretentious
places Of the same sort, which indulge I'm
similar luxuTies for the delectRtion OF
their patrons and the eye OF the frequent
er is proportionately gratifled as well as
the palate. ID.

rALLAHAssEE,s ooNvENrIoN.
Delegates Anxious to Reach an Adjourn
ment ON saturday.


TALLAHASSEE, July 26.-The delegates
say that they will force business through
to adjournment next Saturday.
HEADQUARTERS OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
Article XVI, on miscellaneous proyis-
ions, section assays that all county officers
shall hold their offices and keep their Off
cial books and records at the county seats
OF their counties.
The Legislature is empowered to grant
land to actual settlers, but not more than
80 acres to one person.
The Legislature shall provide for the
publication OF all laws IL may enact. The
sureties upon the bond of any and all State
officials must be residents OF the State,
and sureties upon the bonds OF county
officials must be residents of the county
where such bond is given. This provi-
sion will be safeguard against straw
bonds, and in case one or more of the
sureties becomes insolvent before the term
OF Office expires it will be more readily as
certained If the bondsmen reside in the
county
Personal ATTENTION IMPERATIVE.
No person shall hold an office of trust or
profit under the State without deyOting
his personal attention TO the duties OF the
same. This will prevent incompetent or
unfit persons from holding office, as was
the case while the State was under carpet
bag rule.
The Legislature shall provide by proper
legislation for giving to mechanics and
laborers an adequate lien upon the sub
iect matter of their labor. This is in
tended as protection TO laborers, and
will probably prevent an unjust discrimi-
nation against them.
Marriage between white person and
negro, or between white person and
person of negro descent, to the fourth
generation, is forever prohibited. The
Republicans fought this section bitterly,
hoping thereby to keep the negroes solidly
in their ranks.

RUSSIA'S AIM.
A Compact and Not an UnwieIdIy Ter
ritOry Desired by the Czar.

A Compact and Not an UnWieldlY Ter
ritOry Desired by the Gear.
LONDON, July 26.-An article in the
Moscow Gazette, reported to have been
inspired by the Gear, declares that
Russia has reached the furtherest
limits to which she desires to
go, and that the government con-
siders its ventures in Central Asia
at an end. Russia, the Gazette says, fears
nothing so much as the condition and
growth of an unwieldly territory. The
Gar is anxious to secure solid frontier
within which progressive works of civiIi-
Zation may be carried on. The
Russian Commercial Commission has
been appointed with Maj. Bagin, chief of
the Caucasus Customs, in command.
The object of the commission is the study
of trade movements and means of com
municatiOn between the trans-Caspian
territory and Afghanistan and Persia.
THE ANGLo-RUssIAN AGREEMENT.
Lord Salisbury has renewed the pro-
pOsal that Russia should withdraw her
troops from the advanced positions in
Zultikar pass IN order to avoid possible
conflic5 with the Afghans. Russia will
agree to the proposal on condition that
the Afghans be restrained from occupy
ing the positions evacuated by the Rus
sian troops. Such occupation will be an
immediate signal for Russian advance.
Military activity at Odessa is maintained.
1t is rumored that preparations are beng
made for an early movement toward the
Caspian sea.

AMERICAN SHIPS ABROAD.
Our Wooden Vessels Preferred by For
eiGn Merchants in Certain Trades.


From tho Neto York sun.
The ship Chandos, 1906 tons burden,
built at Belfast, Me-, in October. 1869, has
been purchased by Capt. A. Hemmes for
Holland account. This is the 9th Ameri-
can square-rigged vessel that Capt.
Hemmes has bought within eighteen
months. The Chandos will be placed on
the dry dock next week for recoppering
and Overhauling.
American wooden ships, chiefly built
in New England, have been sold to for
eigners every season probably for about
200 years. The shipbuilders Of Maine are
able 10 build better wooden ship for the
money than any foreign people cam.
While the demand for wooden ships is
growing less every year, there are certain
trades, like the sugar-carTYing business,
where merchants prefer them.
"A curious feature Of the California
freight Market" said a shIpOwnef yes
terday, ''is the fact that foreign Ships
regularly receive a shilling or two more
per quarter on wheat to the continent or
to Liverpool than American ships can
obtain, but when the American ship 10
sold and gets a foreign register her de-
fects are thereby cured and she receives
the highest rates. This Is said 10 be due
10 the fact that foreign insurance COM
panles charge higher rates on American
than on ships Of Europeon nationality.
''Some people assert that this discrimi-
nation Is due to the desire OF the British
TO hit the American merchant mariner
when he's down. but others say that the
American merchant mariner is either
dead or is making living as railroader,
and that there IL therefore no one capable
Of manning American ships, which have
to depend on Dagos and Chinese, and thus
the risk on them is greater than foreign
ships, which are manned by sailors Of
their own nationality"

BURSTING OF A CLOUD.
Colorado Campers Overwhelmed While
Asleep at Midnight.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July Do
One OF the most disastrous cloud-bursts
ever known I'm this section of the State
struck point few miles north of this
city at midnight. But tor the fact that
the storm struck the crest of
the hill, where the water flowed
IN opposite directions the loss of life
would have been appalling. Several rail-
road and wagon bridges in the vicinity
were carried away, and large amount OF
track was swept Off. The house OF Supt.
of Schools Eaton was swept away, and
Mrs. Eaton was drowned. On
the slopes of Shocks run were
number of summer campers.
Many Of their tents have been
seen floating in the stream, and as the
Hood came down In the dead OF night, it
is feared that many of the campers have
perished. 1t is reported that one body,
that of a Swedish woman, was found sew
eral miles below town. Further news
from Shocks run is awaited with intense
intnrpSt.

HANGED HIMSELF AT SEA.
A German Sailor Ends His Life While
Undergoing Punishment.


From ths Mem York World. Julv rs.
When within two days Of reaching this
port Nelllsen Eckstedt, a stOker on the
steamer Thingvalla, which arrived at Ho-
boken yesterday, asked the chief engineer
TO excuse him from duty, as he was very
sick. The chief refused. and with tears
in his eyes the poor stoker begged TO be
sent 20 the hospital In the forecastle. I'm
der the penalty Of Imprisonment he was
ordered 10 work. Eckstedt h0bbled of,
and for half an hour he stood be-
fore the hot furnaces. Then be threw
down his shovel and crept into
his bunk. The engineer discovered him
and reported 20 the Captain that Eckstedt
was inclined TO be mutinous. Capt. kars-
ten told the surgeon 10 examine the stOker,
and ne reported that 10 all appearances
Eckstedt was well and able TO do his duty.
Upon this the stoker was thrown into the
brig. lie pleaded for medicine, but the
doctor turned deaf ear 70 his appeals.
For two hours be remained In the dark
hole without food. The steward visited
him % learn II he was ready 10 obey. Eek
stedt reiterated that he was sick. aud
upon being brought before the Captain
refused 10 20 back into the hold and was
returned 20 the briS. AS he passed by his
companions Eckstedt exclaimed:
"lf they lock rle up again III hang my
self"
An hour later he was found hanging In
his cell. His body was cut down, but the
Captain thought IL best under the circum-
stances not 10 bury II at sea. IL was
packed In ice and carried to this port.

plHined the circumstances 20 County
