There seems to have been much
disappointment with a great number
of our St. Johnsbury people who
were anxious to consult DR.. 7. p.
Hubbcll in relation to their eyes,
when he was here last, but was
called away to Boston, and upon his
return here it was too late for him
to fill his engagement. Some of our
citizens have tested him since that
time and have found such degree of
relief that there is now quite an eff
fort upon their part and others
to get the Doctor to carry out his first
intention of visiting St. Johnsbury
once in four months, regularly, and
give one week professional attention,
eye difficulties, especially the AMMONIA
lies of vision that can be corrected
by the use of spectacles. We have
learned definite enough to warrant
us in making the statement that the
Doctor is now making permanent
arrangements to viset st. Johnsbury

which will appear in the CALIFORNIAN

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The senate will put maple sugar on
par with other sugars as an object
of government bounty. No bounty
will be given when the producer
makes less than 500 pounds.
Without discussing individual
planks, or the positive merit of the
county plat torn, it is fair to say that
the Caledonia county convention far
outdid the state convention in build
ing a platform that says something.
The discussion on the house federal
elections bill is under way. The sub
ject is a difficult one to handle. There
is no doubt that something needs to
be done to protect federal elections.
The only question is as to methods
1t is to be hoped that the strong
probability of new action by Con
gress on the international copyright
bill may be realized and that some
tardy measure of justice will be done
to the thinkers and brain workers of
two hemispheres.
On the third page of the Caledo-
Man will be found the noble and dig
nihed poem of Wendell P. Stafford of
st. .JOhnsbury, from the July Allan
tic. 1t will be of deep interest, both
as the work of a fellow-townsman
and as poem of exceptional merit.
1t is said that the United States
has in the new protected cruiser
Philadelphia the fastest war vessel
of her size ahoat. The Philadelphia
developed on her trial a 1872 knot
speed against wind and tide. The
excess of speed over the required
standard puts a cool 100000 into
the pockets of the Cramps, her build
erS.
The New York Sun is 70 be con-
graduated on the crusade it has be-
gun against human hogs in public
places. 1t has taken a large contract
in attempting to rid New York of
these pests. 1t should not forget the
hog who on the street and in public
places blows clouds Of poor tobacco
smoke in the faces of people indis-
criminately.
The trunk line managers are wrest-
ling these days with the great prob
lem of what the interstate commerce
law is good for, anyhow. The
travelling public at large haven
found out that they were any better
off on account of it, either. The only
ones who take real satisfaction in it
are the complacent legislators who
passed the measure.
No Vermonter but will feel deep re-
greet at the serious illness of Frederick
Billings. Although his mind is clear
his bodyis having hard battle with
the weakness brought on by a recent
stroke of paralysis. The noble gifts
lately announced, with which Mr..
Billings has followed up his past
generosity show that his mind and
heart are still untouched.

Life Insurance on
Business Principles


[From the Insurance Times, July, 1901
The manag cement of the National Life In
surance Company of Vermont has attained
cnviable distinction for its ingenuity in
originating plans of insurance. This com
pany's policies have always appealed to a
particularly well-informed class of applicants.
In addition to the bonds which it disposes of
in large numbers, it issues option policy
which undoubtedly is of the most desi-
rable of insurance contracts. 1t is claimed
for it that it provides for any emergency that
may arise.
This is what the company contracts to do,
through the medium of this policy: 1t guar
antecs annual cash value which after a
certain period is in excess of all premiums
paid it guarantees n paid-up policy for such
a sum the cash value will purchase, ex-
act amount being specified in the contract at
the time of issue, and it guarantees extended
insurance for the full amount of policy for so
long time the cash value will pay for
Incidentally the policy will protect its holder
against adversely in business, and also make
an absolute provision in case of death for
wife, children, parents creditors. In these
days of low interest and unsafe investment,
it is a safe and desirable investment, guaran-
teeing that n certain amount of money will
be accumulated in specified time, which the
purchaser can use at any age when he is more
likely to be dependent upon others than
others upon him. Finally, the officers of the
National Life say that under this policy you
know exactly what you have, and if you
need your money more than insurance you
can get it. Under this policy you have in
vcstment, protection, and the use of your
capital"

Last night Annie Burton was the

by an unusually large audience con-
sidering the disagreable weather.
Miss Burton is of charming presence
and is highly gifted in her chosen
profession. She is undoubtedly one
of the shining lights in the artistic
world, for she has the advantage of
many sO-called stars versatility and
beauty. Her Interpretation of the
title role was relief from the time

indeed superb one and Mr.. Leslie
Davis certainly deserves great credit
in surrounding her with a company
