Close of Catholic Fair.


The Catholic fair closed Tuesday
evening. The attendance through the
week was fully up to the expectations
of the managers. Friday evening FIR.
O'Sullivan, superior of the st. Joseph
college, Burlington, delivered an ad-
dress on "The Catholic Element in
American History" The lecture was
introduced with brief statement that
Catholics were sometimes given to un-
derstand that they had not the same
right to the privileges of the land that
were accorded those of other religious
beliefs it was his purpose to assure
them that they were at home by right
in America. Columbus, a Catholic,
was the first to discover this continent
and his first act was to plant the cross
upon it's shores. Then followed state
ments of the discoveries of other parts
of the country, Florida, the Missssip
pi, the Pacific coast and finally this
section by Champlain, all Catholics,
whose first acts were to plant the cross
in the name of the Master and the
church. Catholics were enjOined to
prove themselves good Catholics by
proving themselves good citizens. Fir.
O'Sullivan is Il man of fine presence
and an excellent speaker, holding the
close attention of his auditors through
out the address.
The total receipts of the fair exceed
$4,000 and FIR. BoissOnnault and the
fair managers feel exceedingly pleased
and gratified that the people have
come forward so literally. Following

lee pond proved most enjoyable af-
fair. About $50 went from this place
accompanied by the st. Johnsbury
band and uniformed patriarchs. Six
or seven other lodges had delegations
present making up the whole number
to about 300. The Passumpsic road
furnished ample accommodations for
comfort for all. Procession was formed
at Fairlee and marched to the pond
ed by high hills with sufficient mum Der
of boats to accommodate all who wish
ed to use them. After dinner the
crowd went in for enjoyment in various
ways while the band gave q fine con-
cert.
An organization was formed for the
purpose of having annual meetings and
will be known as the Union Odd Eel
lows Association, embracing lodges
from Derby Line to Lebanon, n. FL.

The SalvatiOnists.
The salvation army has drawn
crowded houses every pleasant even
ing of the week. So far these services
have been conducted in an orderly
manner and what little disturbance
has been created has been the work of
a hOOdlum element that is getting to
be altogether too large for a town of
this character. The village authori-
ties have done well to INSTRUCT the po-
lice to maintain order.

Annual Fruit Sermon.


The time has arrived for preaching
the CaledOnian's annual sermon on
fruit stealing. The text this year, with
the addition of two or three words to
give it local flavor, is taken from Ex-
Odus % rs: And | will send hornets
before thee, which shall drive out the
Hivite, the Canaanite, the Hittite and
the st. JOhnsburyite from before thee.
A timely illustration is found in the
experience of the small boy who enter
ed an orchard in this village one even
ing last week, filled his pockets with
fruit and was surrounded and sur
mounted by hornets. The places that
didn't know him heretofore knew him
now by his screams and yells and he
fell an easy prey to the rightful own
ers of the fruit. For this particular
boy the hornets furnished the applica-
ton of the text. For other boys who
are engaged in the same business it
may be noted that many other orchards
in this community are we'll supplied
with hornets nests this year.

Protecting Their Rights.

Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly TO the determination
TO achieve success by the liberal use OF
printers ink than has the Brown Chemical
Company of Baltimore, Nd, Starting bus
iness about five years ago, they have ex-
pended over 81, 800, 900 in the preparation
and circulation of printed matter, more
than half of which has been paid for news
paper advertising
As might be expected, very large sales
have resulted from this enormous outlay.
Like all good things, Browns Iron Bltters
has been largely initiated, There are I'M
scrupulous manufacturers who cater TO Just
this sort of trade, delude the public by
pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters and other
Tonic Medicines in place of the genuine
Browns Iron Bitters, which is undOubted-
ly one of the purest and best medicines
known. These frauds have been practiced
so extensively, that the Company, finding
all other means inadequate, have at last
determined to try a little law TO put stop
TO them. Suits for heavy damages have
therefore been commenced against Fred
erick Stearns & Co., Detroit, Mich; against
Meyer Bros. & Co., of St. Louis, and
hagainst Jas. A. Dickinson, a druggist of
BaltimoreSfor selling Iron Tonic Bitters
with his name upon the label. We wish

Should be protected from imitators who
live not by their own genius and effort, but
by copying and counterfeiting things that
have been made standard and valuable by
others.

Russell Sage's Wealth.

Jay Gould and Russell Sage created
some surprise among the people in the
Superior Court by sauntering In and
sitting near the bench. 4 moment lat
er the case of James II. Goodsell against
the Western Union Telegraph Company
was called, and the curious auditors
soon knew that the mOneyed men were
there to qualify as sureties on a bond to
be given by the Western Union on an
appeal to be taken from the recent de-
eision by referee giving Mr.. Goodsell
500, 900 damages for breach of contract.
the facts of which were published re-
Gently in the papers. Mr.. GOOdsell. at
the outset. said he was satisfied as to
Jay Gould'S financial standing, and the
millionaire walked out of court with a
pleased expression on his countenance,
while Mr.. Sage, whose qualifications as
surety we're questioned, was obliged to
remain and submit TO an examination
as TO his worldly possessions.
Mr.. Sage said he was now engaged in
active business as merchant and brok-
er, and had been for many years. His
business risks. he said. .flucutated between
$50, 900 and $4,000, according to the
state Of the stock market, and that even
panic in the market would not result
IN loss to him of more than 800, 900.
He then told of small lots of stock held
by him and of certain sums OF money he
is responsible for as surety. Continuing
he said:
II have two or three million dollars
due me on collateral. | own real eS-
tate in the city of New York. | own
ten first-claSs residences, free and clear,
estimated TO be worth from 5000, 900 to
500, 900. own a number of vacant
lots on Eighth avenue-eight-w worth
SIC, 900 each, unencumbered. I own
six on the north side of Sixty-Seyenth
street. | consider them worth SI2, 900

lars. II all my contracts should become
a total loss | would still be worth sever
al million of dollars. The total loss
would not he in excess of two million
dollars. l would still be worth more
than five million dollars"
Mr.. Sage could not tell exactly the
number of bonds that he is on without
referring to his books, and in order to
give him an opportunity to ascertain
these facts the hearing was adjourned
for one week.

Preserving Beef an GGS.-ProfessOI
Kobe, OF Leipzig. has reported some
curious and instructive experiments re-
lative to the antiseptic properties OF
carbonic acid gas (carbon and iOxide).
JOINTS of beef were hung in specially
constructed metallic cases charged Will
gas. and kept In a warm atmosphere,
For the first eight days the meat die
not change in any way. In fourteen
days it had become gray externally,
but its nutrient properties were undi'
minished and its flavor was that oi
fresh meat. IN three weeks time ii
had become softer than fresh meat, but
was still otherwise unchanged. Attel
five weeks it had no unpleasant smell
but the cooked gravy was not so good
as that of fresh meat. Mutton and
veal did not withstand alike treatment
for both began to smell badly at the
end Of the first week. Fish and fruit
also gave way very soon. Professor
Kobe believes from these experiment:
that a simple mode of keeping beei
fresh for several weeks has now beer
devised, and he suggests that the dis
covery will be particularly valuable II
places where the gas in question rises
naturally from the soil.

Lc,CiS'S system OF gas lighting has
been introduced with brilliant effect on
one of the platforms of the railway
station at Euston, London. Its princi-
pie depends upon the mixture of atmOs-
pheTic air under pressure with certain
proportion of ordinary illuminating gas,
the light being produced through the
incandescence of a platinum wire gauze
cap which forms the apex of the burn
er. There being no flame, the light is
perfectly steady IN wind and rain, and
no lanterns or glasses are requisite.
The quantity of gas consumed by this
system is said TO be II per cent. less
than what is required by the common
system, although the candle power is
twice as great as that yielded by the
latter 4 modification of the Lewis
burner. which will not require COM

adaptation is an evolution theory
which has received strong confrma-
ton. One of its principles is that
organs or functions of living creatures
gradually disappear if unused. a ia
miliar illustration is furnished by the
blind fish of caves, whose eyes through
long disuse have been reduced TO ru'
dimentary and slghtless state. 1t ap-

does not always hold good, if it be true,
