Kingdom. They know nothing of prison made
goods there, and are at present unacduainted
with what we have to contend with in this country
from this cause. We are determined to ask their
assistance. If they take hold of the matter it
will mean that 100000 workingmen in Great
Britain will refuse to buy meats, lard, and other
American products packed in prison made pack

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE first car on the
Third line left the depot at o'clock this
morning, and at noon twenty eight cars were
rnnning. making trips from Harlem to Broome
street and return. Policemen were aboard each
car and stationed at regular intervals. Their
services, however, were not required, as every
thing remained quiet and the strikers kept away
from the avenue and depot. About six hundred
men applied for work to-day in answer to the
companys advertisements, and many wers en-
gagged at once
There Is deep, bitter feeling among the
strikers at the Third avenue depot. and trouble
is feared from them. Tho employment of I'M
licensed drivers is denounced bitterly as against
the law. The railroad company this afternoon
abandoned the attempt to run a car the One
hundred and twenty fifth-street road. The cars
on the Third avenue road are to stop running at
8 o'clock this afternoon It has not yet been
definitely settled whether not cars will be run

accomplished toward a settlement The hear
ing will be resumed on Monday.
The cars were run III at P NJ. Twenty-three

employees will not be discharged to make room
for strikers In case q settlement is reached.

The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1886-12-01

General John Hammond of Crown Point,
n. Y, has just erected handsome granite
monument over the grave of his old war
horse, Pink" who died last winter at the
age of thirty-one. The monument is built
of Westerly granite and is twelve feet in
height and suitably inscribed. 1t faces the
Crown Point soldiers monument, which
stands in the village park. Old Pink :"
had remarkable history. He was grand
son of the noted Morgan, " Black Hawk"
of Bridport, VT. The dam was of Handle
tonian blood, and Pink was her eighteenth
colt that reached maturity. He was taken
South by General Hammond at the opening
of the rebellion, and was present at eighty
eight skirmishes and thirty-four battles,
notably Winchester, Harper's Ferry. Orange
Courthouse, Second Bull Run, Hanover,
Penn, Hanover Va, Gettysburg, Hagers-
town, Boonsboro, Brandy Plains, auckland
Mill Races, the Wilderness, SpOttsylvania
Milford Station, North Anna, Ashland,
White Oak Swamp and Kerneyville. Dur
ing his severe army service and indeed his
entire lifetime, old " Pink" was never
known to show fatigue. He was treated
during his last years with as much tender
ness and care as if he was "A human being,
and up to the day of his death retained his
early fire and courage. He has a record of
service for his country that any man might

GUS of commissions and the next one will
quite likely wish to go over the ground for
itself A session which either custom or
public opinion makes too short for efficient
work on topics of the highest interest largely
fails of its purpose. Again, the biennial
theory tends to create an idea that legislation
is an evil. This is a mistake. 1t is only the
abuse Of it, like the long sessions in Massa-
chusetts, or the sometimes too short sessions
in Vermont, that brings it into disrepute
An active public life is wholesome for the
people. 1t keeps them familiar with the
blessings of good government and with the
progressive ideas of social science. Our
laws are far from perfect. They are an in
heritance of compromises. The circum-
stances of the time which kept many OF them
back from their best condition are constantly
passing away. In no other department of
human endeavor are we so far behind as in
our laws The men whose profession Is the
law are often regarded with ignorant sus-
picion and vulgar prejudice, and those who
are called from other walks for few weeks
once in two years, with the moral certainty
that they are not to be returned, do not take
time enough from their private affairs to
make an advance study of the public affairs
in which they arctic participate. 1t is not
so easy to measure these evils as it is those
of over-legislation, but they exist, and it is
not difficult to cite or imagine cases i'm which
they exceed the ills the system was in
tended to remedy. If the people will form
societies of civics in their respective towns
and thoroughly discuss our laws and propo-
sitions for ameliorating them, an enlight-
ened public opinion will be formed which
may obviate the necessity of longer or more
frequent sessions. But without this our
present school of craftsmanship is not up to
the standard of the progressive demands of
this enlightened age.-Rtuldnd Herdld.

No More the Festive Bear.

The law that forbids the festive bear from
amblng through our streets is cruel and
oppressive, and the small boys of the state
are now in mourning. 1t is sad, Regularly,
year after year, with the coming of spring
time-when the breezes are the softest, when
the sunshine is always best, when the grass
is tender and green, when the birds sing
merrily from the fragrant tree-tops, when
all nature snickers-then it is Tor was) that
the same old bear more intellectual and
leaner, perhaps, as the years fit by, walked
proudly into our little villages, followed by
three noble specimens of physical manhood.
Those were happy days, and the small boy s
mug of happiness was chock-full. But it
was before the days of a railroad commission,
and if bears travel now they must ride on
the cars. Those noble specimens of physi-
cal manhood soapless and unwashed, that
followed the bear out of patriotism and for
the purpose of passing the hat, now find
their occupation gone. This is sad, too, but
it can't be helped. The member from West
Haven eft nobly for the bear and men, but,
like his effort against the soldiers home, it
was no go. We shall see the bear no more
unless we go abroad. Vermont is a cold,
unfeeling state.-STdntOn Courier.

Dog Colleges.

Several shrewd business Adventures, who
have taken advantage of the craze for vau-
able dogs of all breeds, are reapng harv-
est Just now. With the return of every
body from the summer resorts came the an
nouncement of the opening of dozen or
more dog colleges" Here the full-blooded
spaniel or St. Bernard, the immaculate
Spitz or the ugly pug are cared for as ten
derby as children. These institutions boast
a full corps of professors and the special
departments are in charge of trainer, a
dog-doctor, veterinary cook and half a
dozen grooms. Every dog is provided with
an upholstered kennel, with fenced yard
in which he may stroll without intrusion.
A bill of fare is made out and the dogs are
fed according to their age, breed and size.
Soups, cakes, medicated biscuits and
specially prepared meats, with an abundance
of beef broth and fresh milk, are the chief
articles of diet. Al certain hours limited
number of dogs are turned into the large
enclosure for "A run, while the hounds and

Improvement in Water Gas.


j. j. johnson of Columbiana Ohio,
claims To have invented "A gas-making pro-
cess that promises to Guido natural gas. w.
b. Sutler, "a prominent manufacturer of
that place, gives the following particulars
regarding the greatest invention of the
age" johnson has been working on the
invention for some time and has succeeded
in perfecting his process TO such an extent
that wonderful results We're accomplished.
The principle of the machine is system of
siphOns, and air is forced alternately
through water and through OIL resulting in
gas. The tests made by Mr.. johnson on the
machine just finished by him resulted in
getting 100000 cubic feet of gas from a bar
rel of oil After this immense quantity of
gas had been made, the residue of the oil as
a lubricator is said to be worth as much as
the barrel of oil originally. 1t is cheaper
than daylight, for after getting the light
and fuel You have the original value of
the material you get it from. Mr.. Johnson
made trip to Boston and had a conference
with capitalists regarding the sale of the
right of the invention. After his represent
tatiOns, chemists from Harvard college
were sent to Columbiana to investigate
They reported favorably upon it, and John
son was given 81 100000 for the right in the
United States with the exception of Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and 1t
subsequently received 100000 for those
states.
