MR.. SPARKS AGAIN.
He Suspends the Land Laws by Sim
pie Order, as the emperor Of All
the Russias" Might.


Commissioner Sparks, of the Cen
eral Land Office, has instructed his
subordinates to allow no more pre-
emption, timber culture, or desert
land filings or entries until further or
ders. This actin is doubtless based
upon the fact that bill is pending in
Congress to repeal the law under
which such entries have been permit
ted. Inasmuch as the billin question
has not become law Mr.. Sparks has
no more right to issue such an order
than the editor of the TINES; but as
no one will go to the trouble and ex-
pense of contesting it in the courts
the order will probably stand.

The committee of ladies having in charge
the arrangements for National Peace
Day" at the New Orleans exposition on
Tuesday, March 80, requested the govern

our State, The body of the bannerette is
of light blue satin with bars of old gold
plush at the top and bottom and with gold
fringe upon the lower edge. In the centre
is the coat of arms of Vermont hand paint
ed below which is inscribed the motto,
peace to All" The hand painting was
done by Mrs. +. A. Owen and the remain
der of the work by Miss l.. NJ. Strain. 1t
is as fine Il piece of work in its line as has
been seen in this city in many a day.

WEDNESDAYS ICE REGATTA.
A Beautiful Day, but Light Wind and
slow Time-The Result.

The annual cruise of the Burlington Ice
Yacht club took place Wednesday at 10
Il. m. All of the boats but one We're
sailed, and the L. ;. from Colchester
reef, Joined in the regatta. The wind was
west by north the day was fine and the
ice was fair, but snowy Following is the
list of the contesting yachts:
Mudjekeewis. T. P. W.:Rogers, A. c. Whiting.
keewaydin, +. II. Barnes Col Hindes.
Eaek"wSnna }ohns Tnfl Bros + + 1Shnson'
Us, Capt. Button, Capt. Button.
The regatta committee were the judges
and time keepers. The course was from Il
flag at IA short distance from, and about
midway of the west side of the break
water to Il flag south of Appletree point,
making SAL of about two miles to wind
ward, whence ii return was made to the
starting point and the course sailed
over again. The estimated distance
covered was about eight miles
This distance was exceeded several miles
by the Lackawanna, the Walton NJ. and
the |. ;. on account of their sailing mas
tiers not seeing the outer flag. The very
slow time recorded is due to the lulling of
the wind, continually, almost to Il dead
calm. The three winners came in rs fol
lows; keewaydin, AZ m. 5 $. Walton NJ
AZ III. 50 5. and the Mudjekeewis A. m,
25s. The boats started rs follows :
Lackawanna, Walton NJ, L. S, Nude
keews, and Keewaydin. The first to
cover the course was the Mudjekeewis in
10 m. IS. The keewaydin crossed in % m
4 s., the Walton NJ. in - IN. 80 s. and the
Lackawanna in 81 IN. After the racing
the yachts sailed spurts to Juniper and
back, giving the club no little excitement
in trials of actual speed under the same
conditions. The club We're joined by the
Zeus from the Island and the Nutcake
from this city and there was
any amount of sport. The wind
treshened and there We're specta-
cles of apparently balky yachts that an
noyed the owners and rejoiced the specta-
tors by boldly rising up into the air to the
hight of mans head. Then is when to
ice-yacht is fun. The Keewaydin as win
ner was awarded the club championship
pennant, which she is allowed to haunt
this season, but for the retention of which
she must try her skates with her fleet
winged competitors next season.
That ice-yachting has come to stay,
there can be no doubt, and the club is to
be congratulated that where heretofore
there has been but one boat there are now
six good ones, owned by gentlemen who
will make what they undertake IA success
The following is the official tabulated
record of the race:

Popular Science: An instance out of
my own experience will go to show
how fear does not reason. About ten
wears ago, when was in Baden. near
the Black Forest, was in the habit of
walking alone in the evening till late in
the night. The security was absolute
and knew very well that there was
no danger; and, as long as was in the
open field or on the road. | felt nothing
that resembled fear. But to go into
the forest. where it was so dark that
one could hardly see two steps ahead,
was another thing. entered resolutely
and / went in for some twenty PAGES;
but. in spite of myself, the deeper
plunged into the darkness the more a
fear gained possession of me which
which was quite incomprehensible. |
tried in vain to overcome the unreason-
able feeling, and may have walked
