Drowned Herself i'm the Spree.

SUICIDE OF LOVELY AMERICAN GIRL AT BERLIN.
Berlin Special to the New York World, March 10.
The body of Miss Helen Buttrock, a very
bright and lovely American girl, was found in
the River Spree to-day. The girl has been
missing since Wednesday. Miss Buttrock came
here from Milford, N. H., to study at the scad-
envy of music. She was member of the
American church and much liked in English
and American society. A few days ago Miss
Buttrock fell little behind in her studies.
whereupon the teachers reproached her Sc
verely on the subject. The girl seemed de-
pressed thereby, and said to her fellow-pupils
that her teachers had been unduly harsh and
that it her trying to get along.
Wednesday she left her clearinghouse saying
that she was going to visit friend. As she did
not return at night the people of the house be-
came uneasy, and grew thoroughly alarmed
when they found in her room a brief note say
ing that she would never come back any more.
The police were notified and a search insti-
tuted, but no trace of the girl could be found
till the World correspondent saw her body taken
from the river to-day and carried to the morgue
As there were no marks of violence about the
corpse there is no doubt that the girl committed
suicide while in depressed state of mind.

The Iron and Steel Industries.

THEY ARE IN A VERY UNSETTLED AND UNsATIs-
FACTORY CONDITION.
A dispatch from Pittsburg, March 16. says:
The general iron and steel industries are
in a very unsettled and unsatisfactory
condition according to manufacturers state
ments, but it is not likely that any of
the works will close before the regular sum-
mer shutdown. Over-production is given as
the cause. but as the consumption in the spring
and summer months always increases, the stock
will likely be reduced considerably. manu-
facturer who has made study of the affairs
says that pig metal has fallen S1.27 to 81 per
ton since last fall, while finished products have
declined from 80 to S5 per ton. He says that
many mills would shut down only for the fact
that they have regular customers who buy from
them the year through, and they must keep
them supplied.

INEQUALITIES IN WAGES.

There is a great deal of trouble about wages
AS some manufacturers are operating their
mills under the amalgamated scale and others
under the scale adopted by National trades as
sembly 2l7, Knights of Labor, there is no uni
fOrmity in the price paid the puddlers. In the
Pittsburg district, where the mills are con-
trolled by the amalgamated association. IS. so
per ton is paid. while in the east and west,
where the puddlers are controlled by both of
the organizations, the price is So. IS per ton.
The annual scale of the Amalgamated associa-
ton will be drawn up in few weeks and will
be submitted to the June convention. No re-
duction will be made in the scale, and none of
the workers believe there will be any trouble.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

The morning of the Yale-Harvard
| football game at Springfield a very
small portion of the 24O men who
| take fine arts under Professor Charles
Eliot Norton at Harvard appeared
at the 9 o'clock lecture. The empty
seats suggested to Professor Norton
a short comment on college athletics,
the substance of which is here given
Athletics are good if kept within
proper limits; but they have gone to
extremes. Baseball is now one of
the principal topics of interest in the
nation, and athletics occupy the
most important place in college life.
Our nation is rising out of poverty,
and it is an extremely gratifying
sight to see the general advance in
prosperity; but our democracyis not
highly cultivated. A newspaper is
readers; and as the people have little
conception of intellectual life the
newspapers adapt themselves to the
lower tastes. To satisfy these de-
mands much attention is given to
athletic contests. A good fight on
baseball field, or football field, is a
great gain to the newspapers, and
by making the most of it they arouse
an abnormal interest in field sports
A gentleman very rarely bets. 1t is
a sign of a low state of ideals. The
greatest evil in betting in college is
that men are led to bet who have not
means to bet. They see others bet
ting and think it is the thing to do,
and risk the money furnished to
them for another purpose by friends
who can i'll afford to spare it. Bet
ting under any form is a low prac-
tice. A gentleman is careful of his
honor; he will not take money with
out rendering an equivalent
We want Harvard to be first, but
we do not want it at a sacrifice of
honor. A gentleman has something
better to be than to be professional
athlete. An intelligent man should
not want to compete with men who
have no intellectual capacity, with
men who have large bodies and very
small minds We should see to it
that athletic ideals do not take the
place of higher ideals; we should see
to it that athletics do not destroy
our fine sense of honor. On the stu
dents here it depends to reflect this
college as place where men of high
character are developed. In our
athletics we should condemn dis
graceful acts, and remember that a
victory is victory of a day; a fine
show of the lower capacities OF

COLD, FROZEN TRUTH.

Under the above head the last
North Star treats its readers to an
article on county and state expenses
which is decidedly interesting read
ing. After copying what the Gale
DOMAIN said the week previous on the
repairs of the Court house, it goes
on as follows
"Finishedin hard wood Lit by
electricity" -"Open fire places. y
''Frescoing and finishing court room
SO that it looks as attractive as a
parlor. - Building heated by hot
water" This is one side of the pic
ture, the other side is the tax payers
of Caledonia county have got to pay
ten thousand dollars for doing the
job at a time when they have no
money to spare. Is there a sensible
man in Caledonia county, who was
acquainted with the condition of the
county buildings before this large ex-
penditure was made, that can say he
believes it either necessary or right
to make these expensive repairs at
the present time when the principal
industry of the country-the farming
industry-is in the depressed condi-
ton that it is now? What say you
to it, you farmers of Caledonia coun-
ty, who will have to pay the princi-
pal part of the $4,000 expended on
the county buildings, at time when
the most OF you are struggling the
best you know how to make both
ends meet. and many of you, owing
to the low prices of produce, unable
to do so. Are any of you anxious to
have an additional burden placed on
your shoulders that the county NAV
have fancy court house? The fact is

man. We should remember that the
purpose of college is to fit man to
be of service to the world in places
where service can be rendered. 1t is
not much matter whether the college
retains its place in the league or not
Changes in such matters will take
place. The thing is that we should
not protest when it can be said that
we too are guilty, or when our mo-
t1ves can be questioned. Another
undignified matter is the hunting up
of an excuse each time we are beaten.
Let us say manfully that we were
beaten because we deserved to be
beaten
In another generation we shall
have made an advance in life; the
newspapers will then have more i'm
portant news than they now have
They will then recognize the real val
ues of things in life. Health is the
object of our education; the health
of every part of a man; a healthy
mind in a healthy body, with a
healthy moral sentiment Athletics
should be practised for this broad
health

A BUSINESS VIEW OF 1T.

Something of a discussion has been
started in the press of the state as to
the compensation of the editors
whose columns are given to setting
forth the advantages and enterprise
of western and southern places in
stead of our Vermont towns. From
one point of view the criticism of
such a course seems to be Just but
when considered in all its lights it
appears as manifest injustice The
Ludlow Tribune very properly sug-
gests that newspapers are private
business enterprises and that if the
state wishes to be advertised the
state should pay for it as do the
boomers from the South and West.
Why is this not so? If the press
of Vermont is expected to be always
alert and vigorous in looking after
the interests of the state why should
it not receive some compensation
therefor, something to help support
it and to maintain its efficiency !?
These people from the West and
South pour out money freely in sup
port of their own newspapers, as
well as to secure kind words from
the papers of other states.
The Times would be the last to
suggest that disloyalty to Vermont
interests is justifable in the press of
the state but Vermont papers are
peculiarly loyal and earnest in their
advocacy of all that pertains to the
welfare of Vermont When the edi-
tors of these papers, after years of
toll in which Vermont has ALWAYS
stood foremost, are given an oppor-
tunity to take needed vacation, to
see something of what is being done
in other parts of the country by en-
terprising New Englanders, and are
treated literally and courteously,
shall they be criticized for telling the
story, for reporting what they see !?
Must they always advertise and adj
vocate their own town and state,
without a dollar being paid for the
service and denied a right to make
something out of their business in a
perfectly honest way?
The press of the state owes duty
and allegiance to the state. Grant
ed, but it behooves the people of Yer
mont to consider whether, in view of
allit does for them the state does not
owe something to its loyal press
