One Of the most persistent efforts 70 OBJ
tain legislation that has been made here in
late years met its fate yesterday in the de
feat Of Dr. buttons bin 1t seems that
for several years there has existed in Rut-
land a medical college, so-called, where
students of medicine who failed 10 obtain

few DAYS or weeks and come away full
iedged N. D's, with diplomas that answer
every purpose in other states where the in
stitution is not known. The medical pro
fession of the state have tried hard 10 root
the thing out, but all that has been &C
complished has been 20 obtain a decision
in the Windsor county courts that the
documents issued at Rutland were not
diplomas but certificates DR. Dutton, the
head front and whole Of the institution,
came here early in the session seeking u
be incorporated as the Vermont Medical
college, and thus obtain a standing The
bill was referred first TO the special com
mittee on public health, composed largely
of physicians, aud later was transferred u
the committee one ducation, which contains
a hardly less number of the same class
The report of the committee was adverse,
as could be expected and the House re
fused to accord the bill the privilege Of de

report OF the result Of the elections. In
both California and Colorado Republican
governors and other state officers were
elected in the former state by a majority
Of about , 900 and in the latter state by
plurality of about $500. Idaho also went
Republican by majority of 1000 In Iowa
the Republican candidate for secretary of
state was elected by $500 plurality, while
the rest of the ticket is divided Illinois
has Democratic governor by plurality
of II 600, and a majority of her congress
men are also Democratic The legislature
stands lOl Republicans. 100 Democrats and
three Farmers Alliance men. In Kansas
the Farmers Alliance swept the state e1
cept for governor /. L Humphrey, Re
publican candidate for that Office being
elected by plurality Of about 5000 In
Michigan the Democrats elected their gov

rest of the state ticket is probably Republi-

clean sweep, electing r X Colcord Cover

Ohio Daniel j Ryan, the head of the Re

ANNUAL FESTIVAL

The Church Choir guild of Vermont was
organized several years ago for the purpose
OF improving aud perfecting the rendition
OF the musical portions Of the service in the
Episcopal church. Annual festivals have
been held in which all choirs have been in
vited 70 participate The last one took
place in St Pauls church, Burlington. on
the 9th inst, and was eminently successful
The choirs numbered nearly 300 voices, aud
the procession Of clergy and choristers
numbered nearly 100 After the opening
service on Thursday evening the Rev II H
Oberly, of the diocese Of New Jersey, deliv-
cred thoughtful address on sacred music
which was listened TO with great interest by
the large congregation. The seating cApac-
ity of the church was exhausted. standing
room was early occupied and many we're
unable to reach the interior of the church
As IN past wears, the festival was conducted
by Prof 5 b. Whitney, Of the Church of
the Advent, Boston, and It's triumphant sue
cess was largely owing 10 his skiful and eff
tlcient work. The Burlington Free Press
devoted column to the account of the fes
tlval, and the writer is indebted 10 that pa

cot these, by far the best is the carbonate OF
ammonia This Is a volatile salt, aud its great
