WHAT LIMITED MEANS.
Term Frequently Added to the Nams
of Firms,

of Firms.
OF late years marked change has
taken place in business enterprises by
the introduction into this country of
an English custom. The old principle
OF partnerships and corporations was
that the entire property of every
partner or stakeholder was liable for
debts of the firm or company.
This system made it possible for Mr..
D., whoperhaps had only one-tenth
interest in firm, to be called upon to
pay all the debts, and it deferred
wealthy men from becoming interested
In the shares of a corporation unless
they could secure q controlling in
terest.
10 remove this objection "limited"
companies We're organized. This means
that only the separate property of the
corporation is liable for the debts of
the corporation-that is, that the liza
bilities are Limited" by the assets.
The English law requires that such
companies display the word "limitedn
In connection with their name; but few
II any, of the States make such q re-
quirement.
Most American companies and a
great many business firms do business
on limited liability plan, which, be-
ing founded on common sense, bids fair
to be universal.
Inc most noteworthy exception to
the general rule is the case of the
National Bank. but even in this in
stance liability is limited to an amount
equal to the par value of the shares
held. That is, if the National Banl,

License Bill Defeated.

The New Hampshire Legislature
recently defeated a license bill, and
that staunch republican organ, the
Nashua Telegraph, has the following
comments:
The bill to make the State a part
ner in the liquor traffic, after week
of debate and amendment in the
House, was squarely beaten on Tues
day by the decisive vote of IA to 118.
This result is as gratifying as it is
unexpected. For thirty years the
law has made the sale of intOXicants
in this State illegal and disreputable.
A generation has grown up free Of
the vice of intemperance and detest-
ing the whole business. The adj
vance in sound temperance sentiment
has been steady and wholesome.
The traffic is carried on illicitly, if
carried on at all, in three-fourths of
the towns of the State, and even in
the cities it is conducted without
public ostentation or temptation.
The result of this is the reduction of
the traffic to the minimum and the
suppression of the pernicious infiu-
ences of public advertisement, open
bars and gilded hotels and saloons
that everywhere accompany the Ii
cense system. There is more drink
ing in one licensed city in Massa-
chusetts than there is in half the
counties of this State. There was
more wine drinking at the centennial
ball and banquet in New York than
there is in the whole State of New
Hampshire in year.
The drinking habit still fourishes
altogether too generally in our cities,
but it is mainly among those who
have been educated under license,
and have been accustomed to regard
the State as proper partner in this
business. This is to-day one of the
great drawbacks to the enforcement
of the law and the prevalence of a
right public sentiment. This class
of citizens will learn in time that the
State cannot be partner in the Ii
quor traffic without reaping the fruits
of a policy that mocks at principle
and connives at the degradation of
the people.

The Great EiffeI Tower.

It is, perhaps, not strange that
the most wonderful feature of this
centennial year in Paris is so little
mentioned, for it is an achievement
of peace and stands for peace.
Were it some memorial figure of war
and carnage its name would possibly
be on everybody's lips.
We refer to the Eiffel tower, the
highest structure ever raised by hum
an hands. The great Pyramid of
Cheops has been celebrated for hum
dreds of years on account of its enor-
nous hight, yet if another of the
same hight were laid on top of it
they would still not reach to the top
of Eiffel tower, for it is 1000 feet
high.
Some idea can be formed of the
hight of this structure when we re-
feet that it's nearest rival, the Wash
ington monument, is 555 feet high.
The dome of the great cathedral of
Cologne is 522 feet ST. Peters, at
Rome, 1872, and st Paul's, of Lon
don, 404. To illustrate by an object
lesson nearer home, four Bunker Hill
monuments piled one upon the other
would not reach to within 100 feet of
the top of Eiffel Tower
From the top of this imposing
structure, near the banks of the
Seine, the gay French capital lies at
ones feet like great model carved
in clay, and with the naked eye one
has a panorama covering radius of
seventy-fve miles in each direction.
Rouen, seventy miles from Paris, is
distinctly seen.
Such are the triumphs of peace.
This wonderful structure commemor-
ates no royal pomp and no hero of
war, but when one reflects upon the
stupendous difficulties which had to
be surmounted by M. Eiffel, its
builder, it surpasses in sublime gen
ius all the campaigns of Ceasar and
Napoleon, and looks down in lofty
triumph upon the pigmy monuments
of barbarism.- Y. Herald.

The Vermont Collector.

On Tuesday, President Harrison
appointed Colonel George Grenville
Benedict of Burlington, to be collect
or of customs for the district of Ver-
mont. Col. Benedict was unanimously
recommended for the collectorshlp by
the members of the Vermont delega-
tion in congress at the conference
held in Washington last April to
consider the manner of appoint
ments in Federal service in this state.
In accordance with the recommends
tions then made by the delegation,
Hon. Frank Plumley was appointed
district attorney, and Hon. I'll. C.
Fisk consul to ST. Johns, P. @. These
are the only presidential offices, aside
from postoffices, in Vermont which
have been held term of four years
by the Democratic incumbents.
The present collector of customs,
Hon George Grenville Benedict, was
born in Burlington December 10,
1926, and is one Of the six sons of
Hon. George w. Benedict, distin-
guished and honored citizen of Ver-
mont, who died in 1871. He gradu-
ated with high honors from the Uni
versity of Vermont in 1947. After
graduating he taught in New York
for several years. In 1858 he acquir-
ed proprietary interest in the Burling-
ton Daily and Weekly Free Press,
with which he has since been con-
nected, and for many years past has
been editor in chief. In 1865 he
was elected a member of the Univer-
sity of Vermont, and was also ap-
pointed its secretary, which office
he has held continually up to the
present time. In 1861 Colonel Ben
edict was appointed postmaster at
Burlington by President Lincoln,
and held that office for four years.
In the same year he was elected pres
ident of the old Vermont and Bos-
ton Telegraph Company. In Au-
gust, 1862, he enlisted as a private
in the Twelfth Vermont Volunteers,
and in January, 1868, he was pro-
noted to be first lieutenant and aid
de-camp on the staff of the brigade
commander, and was with Gen.
Stannard in the battle of Gettysburg.
In 1865 he held the office of assist
ant inspector general, with the rank
of major and in 1866 he was appoint
ed aid-de-camp on the staff of Gov.
Paul Dillingham;, with the rank of
colonel. In 1869 Col Benedict was
elected to the state senate from Chit
tenden County, and was reelected in
1870. He was for number of years
secretary and then chairman of the
Republican state com mittee. He was
a delegate to the national convention
of 1880. In 1879 Col. Benedict was
appointed by Gov. Proctor state mil
itary historian to prepare a history
of the part taken by Vermont in the
Rebellion, and has given to the
state a most valuable history in two
volumes. Col. Benedict has been
president of the Vermont Press As
sociation, and is member of the
Vermont Gettysburg Commission.
He has done yeoman service for the
Republican party in this state for
many years, and will make an ex-
cellent collector.

A despatch from LatErop, Califor-
MIA, says: Upon the arrival of the
southern overland train last We'd
nesday morning, U. S. Supreme
Judge S. j. Field and Deputy U. S.
Marshal David Nagle walked into
the depot dining room for breakfast
and sat down side by side.
Soon after, Judge David S. Terry
and wife came in also. They were
proceeding to another table when
Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing
Justice Field, did not sit down, but
retired to the train, for some un.
know purpose.
Before she reached it, however,
and as soon as she had left the din
ing room, Judge Terry approached
Justice Field, and, STOPPING over him,
slapped his face. At this juncture
Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from
his seat, and shot Judge Terry
through the heart.
As he was falling the deputy mar
shall shot again, but missed him, the
bullet going through the floor. Both
shots were fired in quick succession.
The Judge never uttered sound
after being shot. He had hardly
fallen, when Mrs. Terry rushed to
the side of the body and threw her.
self upon it. Then ensued a scene
of the widest excitement. During
this time Justice Field and Deputy
Marshal Nagle retreated to a sleep-

several in order that they may teach on
previous certificate, study certain branch
es, and be applicants for second grade
certificate in November. Only one first
grade was granted and that to DeEtta j.
Powers of West Burke; nearly all of the
other certificates were second grade.
Barton furnished the largest number of
applicants and received the most certifi-
Gates. At Newport, Helen r. Davis of
Troy stood the highest, averaging 90; at
Barton, Edward D. Collins of Barton
Landing, averaging "a. The average age
of those receiving certificates at Newport
was % years and months; of those at
Barton, % years.
At Newport, in arithmetic, those rank
ing the highest were Misses Allard, e. A.
Crandall and Houston, marking 80; in
grammar, SO taken by Misses L. F. Gran
dali and A. M. Robinson; in geography,
80 taken by Misses Cowles, Hall, Hous-
ton, Moore, Rand, Stoddard and M. Rob
inson; in history, SO by Miss Davis; in
civil government, 81 by Miss Hopkinson;
in physiology, SO by Miss Blanchard; in
orthography, 81 by Miss Hall. At Barton
highest mark in arithmetic, 80 taken by
E. D. Collins and Miss Burroughs; in
grammar, SO by Miss Nellie Wright; in
geography, 81 by Bertha MCGUIRE; in
history, SO by Harvey Burbank; in civil
government, 50 by Harvey Burbank; in
physiology, 95 by E. d. Collins; in or
biography, "a by E. d. Collins and
Blanche Barber.
At Newport in civil government no one
answered completely the question, ''What
is the fundamental law of this country ?"
In history no one answered fully and cor
rectly. In regard to four battles of the
Rebellion and four of the Revolutionary
War no one correctly answered where
fought and by whom the Union soldiers
in the former and Americans in the latter
were commanded. In photography no
one correctly accented all the words Civ
en-. At Barton the extreme latitude of
the United States was not given by any
one. The greatest deficiency occurs in
photography and the civil government
and history Of Vermont.
All teachers holding certificates grant
ed by town superintendents since Jan. l,
1888, are entitled to teach until Dec. l,
1889, and it appears from the small attend
ance upon the two examinations in July
that many are deferring the ordeal. Be-
sides those holding continued certificates
there are several normal graduates and
ten or more who hold five-years' certifi-
Gates. Private examination will not be
given except on a reasonable excuse and
the examination will be no easier than
the public examination.
