VERMONT NEWS.
A State Farmers League

A state farmers league was organ
lied last Friday at a well-attended
meeting in Montpelier. The meet
ing was held in Capital hall and was
addressed by Walter B. Pierce, the
nationallecturer, who recently spoke
here. Previous to organizing the
state league a Washington county
organization was effected by the
local leagues of Marshfeld, Calais,
Duxbury, Waterbury, Middlesex and
Waits6eld. In the organization of
the state league seven of the nine
county leagues were represented by
three delega tes each. A constitution
and bylaws and the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
We are compelled to organize for pro-
lection.
We demand reform in party politics
and pledge ourselves to support the best
men for office, and we recommend the
purest, freest ballot system the legislature
of Vermont can devise.
We recommend that the high salaries
and eXtravagant expenses be reduced so
| that office seek the man and not man the
Office.
| We believe it to be the duty of the
Legislature to establish a separate and
independent agricultural college in the
state and that all federal and state funds
be devoted to the design of the original
grant.
That we give due credit to the New
England Homestead and its able editor
Herbert Myrick, for its assistance in
| forming a state league in Vermont.
We pledge ourselves and our sacred
honor to maintain and foster principles
and objects of the Farmers League o1
the state of Vermont.
These officers were next elected
President, Hon. E. P. Cotton, Iras-
burg; vice presidents, Orange county
P. S. Chamberlin; Chittenden, A. w

The president was directed to cal

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.

The lecture course opened auspici-
ously in Music hall last Friday even
ing with the concert by the Boston
Symphony Orchestral club. The
hall was we'll filled with an appreci-
ative audience. The program was a
choice one. The selections by the full
orchestral club were all highly enjoy
able and rendered with consummate
skill Perhaps nothing was more
pleasing than De Seve's sweet "Slum-
Der song" for which the composer
so emphatically demanded quiet in
the house. The suggestion may not
be out of order right here that more
quiet in the hall at all times during
the lectures and concerts of the
course is very desirable. Mr.. De Seve
was received with great enthusiasm
in his violin solo and was twice re-
called Always a favorite here, a
marked improvement in his bearing
and execution was generally remark
ed. Mr.. Rucquoy's flute solo was
beautifully rendered and heartily
encored The solos of Mr.. Oehlhey
on the violoncello and Of Mr.. Stoelzer
on the viola d amour also deserve
special mention, though neither in
strument is sufficiently popular to
win the most enthusiastic response
from an audience. The execution of
both these players was perfect. Miss
Mantell is a young lady whose
charming face goes great way with
an audience but her voice, while very
sweet and carefully trained, is as yet
too thin and too lacking in power to
wholly justify the title of prima
donna

STANLEYS DEPARTURE.

A story is being passed around to
the effect that it was in Northamp-
ton, Mass, that Stanley received the
summons to start on his late eXpedi-
ton. Hereis the story as the Spring
field Republican tells it:
The governor and his staff Journey
hundred miles to greet Stanley on his
first appearance in Massachusetts, since
his wonderful last expedition in Africa
an American citizen who has done great
things, and who maintains his American
feeling, won in his youth and in the time
of the war for the Union. 1t was in
Massachusetts, while he was lecturing
at Northampton, that he received the
summons to new work in Africa, which
caused him to start on the midnight
train for New York and sail forthwith
for England, breaking off his lecture en-
gagements. Now he returns with aug
mented fame, and meets with renewed
honors at every hand.
The fact is that it was in St. Johns
bury that Mr.. Stanley received the
cabled summons to his quest of
Emin; it was here that he made his
hasty prepara tions for the journey,
which neccssitated the cancelling of
all his engagements. AS North
ampton lay directly in his route to
New York, he was induced, through
the personal efforts of George w.
Gable, to stop there and give his lee
ture, continuing on his way to New
York by the midnight train. For
corroborati ton of this statement we
refer to Mr.. Stanley's own state
ment on page 81 of the first volume
of "In Darkest Africa" Stanley's
statement as there made was quoted
in the Caledonian of August IA.
Apropos of Stanley here is a very
good story told by a writer in the
New Review of that time, fifteen
years ago, when the great explorer S
work began to fill the blank spaces
on the maps Of Africa:
little maid was doing her geography
lesson the other evening. A brand-new
map of Africa was before her, and she
was puzzling her way among the maze
of names. Dear me-" said her mother
looking over her shoulder, what a differ
ent thing the map of Africa is now from
what it was when / was young. When
| was at school all the map was white
except around the coast, and we had
only few names to learn"
oh yes" said the girl, looking at the
subject from the schoolgirls standpoint
Its all that horrid man, Stanley"
