NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Zone Mans Struggle" is the title of
a timely book by Rev. G. w. Gal
lagher. The author is the pastor of
one of the Congregational churche
at Montpelier, and while there is a
good deal of orthodoxy in the book,
it is not confined to one denominat ton
as the subject, temperance, admits of
treatment by all. The story is based
on facts and given in an interesting
narrative form. The subject matter
is the temperance cause or trying to
establish and enforce a prohibitorv
law. The prime mover in the cause
is young minister, talented
and ambitious, who leaves small
country church and starvation
salary for larger place where there
is more money and more work to be
accomplished His new parishioners
belong to the wealthy, aristocra tic
class who hold themselves alooffrom
everything that is plebeian. He soon
learns the need of temperance work
and proceeds on course hitherto
untried by the former pastors of his
church. He breaches temperance
from his pulpit, not needing the adj
vice and warning of many of his
parishioners He seeks and secures
the aid of most of the other pastors,
while some, though they acknowl-
edge the cause to be good one, are
afraid of losing their own positions,
and will not assist Opposition
gives rise to dissatisfaction in the
church and active measures are being
taken to demand the minister's resig-
nation, when he is taken sick and dies,
giving his life for a cause which he
believed to be right one. 1t is the
every day story of principle versus
pride and position, social and politi-
cal The book shows what one man
can do if perservering and what
might have been done had he lived.
Those who do not believe in preach
ing temperance will find little to in
terest them in the book, while others
will appreciate the work, knowing
how hard it is to awaken public SEN
timent and how steady the efforts
must be. Leading souls to Christ is
certainly a good and sure way of
dispelling the evil; but while the
church is gaining one, the saloon

Il REMA BILE CRIME.

A special to the Caledonian from
White River Junction says that Miss
Louise Smith of Plainheld. N. H., is
under arrest for breaking into the
depot at North Hartland at mid
night of August 1 2, taking therefrom
several express packages and setting
fire to the depot. She was tried here
Tuesday evening before Justice Geo
w. Smith. The state presented the
case but the respondent made no
reply. She was bound up in the sum
of $4,000 to appear at the next term
of county court for trial.
The story of her triple crime is as
follows: She ordered goods by
express, c. o. d., from several Boston
and New York firms in the names of
persons at North Hartland except a
change of initials, and told the
express agent that such goods were
coming and that she would take
them on arrival and pay the bills.
When most of the goods came she
crossed the river in her boat by night,
broke into the depot just after the
last midnight train had passed as
she supposed, got out with the
express packages, and set fire to the
depot. But that last train was fol-
lowed by an extra. The trainmen
on the extra stopped and extin-
guished the fire The theft then
became known, while if the depot
had burned the goods would have
been supposed to have been burned
with the building, and her crimes
might not have been discovered.
A detective figured it out and traced
her to Concord, N. H, where she
was arrested last Thursday. On a
governors requisition she was
brought to this place on Tuesday.
She is a woman about 40 years
old, one of four daughters of Frank
Smith who lives across the river from
North Hartland. The family is
highly respected and they have good
connections. But this girl seems to
be a singular one and has seen sim
liar trouble before. 1t is thought she
may be partially deranged.

A GOOD POINT.

Elisha May made a good point in
his speech at the recent democratic
convention in this place when he
asked if there were no democrats
capable of filling any of the % execu-
tive Offices or the 80 positions con-
nected with the various institutions
of the state and its commissions.
In the other New England states
merit is placed above party and the
various boards and commissions are
made up of the best men in the state
irrespective of party. In this con-
nection, if it is necessary to appoint
another Judge on the supreme court
bench, we hope that Hon. s. c.
Shurtleff of Montpelier will be
appointed. The fact that he is a
a democrat ought not to debar him
from an office for which he is SO well
fitted. 1t is a poor policy for the
republican party not to recognize
the minority when it contains mem
bers well qualified for any office i'll

THE STRIKE OVER.

By the decision of the supreme
council of the Federation of railway
employees at Terre Haute, Ind, the
striking Knights of Labor on the
New York Central road get lots OF
sympathy but no help. The Knights
cannot fight winning battle alone,
and as their places have already been
filled the strike on this great railroad
is practically over. Third Vice-Pres-
ident Webb is terribly scored in a
series of resolutions which the Terre
Haute assembly drafted, and it
seems to be pretty generally accepted
that he has been more curt than nee
eSSary from the start. He has con-
tinuaIly denied that the men were
discharged because they were Knights
of Labor, yet the CaledOnian is able
to announce on the highest authority
that the men were discharged simply
because they were members of that
order Mr. Webb's persistent refusal
to state why they were discharged
would seem to indicate that our adj
vices are correct. The wise decision
of the federation has prevented a
general strike that would have para
lyzed trade from the great lakes to
the ocean, but their decision does not
alter the strained relations that exist
in many quarters between the en-
ployer and the employee. Such a
policy as Mr. Webb has pursued is
just as open to criticism as is the
action of the Knights.

If Sick. See DIR. Gage.

DIR. o. c. Gage, the noted specialist for all
difficult diseases, by special request will be at
the Avenue House, st. Johnsbury, Friday,
June 90 and at Parker House, Woodsville,
Saturday, June II. The Doctor is meeting
with most extraordinary success and his
great discoveries enable him to guarantee
cure or no pay in many diseases hitherto
deemed incurable. Judge B. E. Badger of
Concord, n. H, says he had been troubled
for 20 years with large bleeding and protrud-
ing pile tumors, and that DR. Gage completely
cured him by one painless application of 8
minutes. The treatment did not inconven-
fence him in the least and he held court as
usual every day while being cured. DIR.
Gage positively cures every such case and
guarantees it or no pay. Vim. ]. Berry of
Lyndonvil1e says that DIR. Gage cured him of
injury to the spine which others had failed
to reach. A. T. Gay of Groton, VT, had
lung disease and hemorrhage and had been
given up. but DR.. Gage cured him. DIR. Levi
B. Dodge of Waterford, Vt, says DIR. Gage
saved his life; he had frightful bleeding from
kidneys and bladder and confined to
bed. Ora Bishop, Postmaster of McIndoes,
says DR.. Gage cured his wife. c. L. Buffam,
North Monroe, N. H., wonderful of
spinal disease, helpless Duncan Mckay,
Groton cured after others had failed. NJ. 5.
Bedell, Ryegate, says DIR. Gage made great
cure for his son o. N. Bedell. DIR. Gage has
the most remarkable success. Indeed, he has
no equal and will not say he unless
positive of doing so. If sick see DIR. Gage.

THE CITIZENS DUTY.

1t is the first duty of every citizen
of this commonwealth to vote on
Tuesday next 1t is also his duty to
vote for those who in his Judgment
will best administer the laws of the
state Unfortunately for Vermont
the two great parties are so unevenly
divided that the best men are not
ALWAYS chosen for office, but are put
forward because of some pretended
claim on the party. The citizen can
satisfy his conscience and rebuke his
party by scra itching any part of the
ticket that does not come up to the
highest standard of public service.
In this way the parties will be taught
that they must nominate strong
men or they will lose the day.
The last Legislature was disgrace
to the state in the matter of extrav-
agancies. Much is expected of the
coming one, and every town should
elect its best man. Some towns have
already nominated their leading citi-
zens, Morristow n republicans uniting
on Hon. P. K. Gleed and Burlington
on Edward Wells This is a wise
move and might well be initiated by
every town in the state Much is
also expected of the next governor,
but he will need the help of wise
legislators to carry out his projected
reforms, whatever they may be.
Retrenchment in state finances,
changes in the school law, and dou-
BILE taxation are questions that will
be discussed by the next Legislature,
and the Australian ballot bill and
the weekly payment bill are sure to
be introduced and very likely passed.
These and kindred measures demand
careful attention by our wisest law
makers. The reputation and ability
of the next House rests entirely with
the voters of Vermont.
