CURRENT COMMENT.
An Inconsistent Speech.

From The st louis Republic Denny
The German speech from the throne opens
with solicitude for labor and closes with a de-
maud for greater military expenses-the means
by which labor is most oppressed. 1t was an
swered and answered rightly in the bills for
lower taxes and reform of the tariff.

who has for many years been a great admirer
of Stanley, had a personal interview with the
explorer just before his ship left ENGLAND last
week. In speaking of it ne sal | that he experi-
enced great shock at the change in the ex-
plorer's manner. Il don't know that it is ex-
actly change, either" said the commodore
thoughtfuly ''as all of Stanleys friends were
impressed by his utter Indifference to things in

him so thoroughly hardened and hopelessly in

except the heart of Africa. He does not com
ture has departed. He never laughs, and when
he smiles it is apparently with painful effort.
His thor ugh mastery of everything that relates
to Africa makes him nteresting when he cares
to talk of his hobby. But it is like pulling teeth
to try to interest him in anything else He is
emphatIcslly man OF one idea to-day There
is no question about his coming vie to Amer

the trip, for, to my mind there is no doubt that
he is out of humor with everybody and every

W. H. WEED OF the United States Geological
Survey, has described in Science the death
Gulch" in the extreme northeastern portion of
Yellowstone PARK, on Cache creek, two miles
above its confluence with the Lamar river In
an opening, bordering on Cache creek occur
evidences of former hot springs in geyser-like
deposits, hot-spring cone half washed away
mound of travertine, and little tepid
suphurous water at the edge of the stream
Besides, there are copious gaseous emanations
rising through the waters of the creek mainly
no doubt, carbonic acid, although con-
tanning some sulphuretted hydrogen"
ABOVE these is altered and crystal
line travertine, besides bank of
sulphur and gravel cemented by travertine
In lateral gulley, the waters of its small
stream, sour with sulphuric acid, flow in a
channel cut through beds of dark gray volcanic
tufa. The only springs now flowing are oozes
OF water, forming creamy white deposit about
the vents, which is largely an alum {alumina
sulphate). The odor of sulphur is strong. The
bears and other wild animals of the region ere
often killed by the gases. Dead bears were
found in all stages, from skeletons to freshly
killed, and with them were remains of an elk,
terhies and other insects

RAILROAD NEWS.

George Shorey, the engineer who
had his leg broken at the Barton
Landing collision, is doing well and
isable to go out of doors on crutches-
The mileage of engines on the
Passumpsic road for the month of
July was 1O3 ,44S miles. This is 49,
900 miles more than the engines ever
made in a previous month and an in
crease of % 900 miles over the month
of July 1899. The increased mileage
is due to the unusually heavy freight
traffic.
The Passumpsic railroad has de-
clared a semi-annual dividend of 212
per cent When this road was leased
by the Boston & Lowell in 1887 for
90 9years five per cent was guaranteed
the stockholders for 10 years and six
per cent thereafter OF course when
the Boston & Maine obtained con-
troll of the Lowell system it had to
assume the same guarantee. A block
of Passumpsic stock was offered for
119 in the Boston exchange Friday.

ally through the supreme office. A
constitution of the order was pro-
duced and put in evidence.
Lawyer Ide made a strong plea,
basing his argument on the theory
that the Order of Unity was similar
i'll its workings to the Knights of
Pythias and other secret societies
that Mr. Hall had taken no inSur-
ance but was organizing a social
lodge. Mr.. Ide paid quite a compli-
ment to the Caledonian when he said
that this prosecution was instigated
in part by the local papers and that
he was glad that they were mould
ing public opinion.
Lawyer Dunnett made short and
telling plea for the state in which he
declared that MIR. Hall came here to
start a lodge that would give the
people an insurance if they paid their
dues; that it was recognized as an
insurance company in Massachusetts
and had to report to the insurance
commissioner, a procedure which
was not required of the Knights of
Pythias and kindred orders.
Justice Nichols reserved his decision
until Saturday and then decided that
Mr.. Hall was engaged in insurance
business and under the question of
law he was bound over to the higher
court under $50 bonds which were
furnished.
The officers of the order do not
propose to give the matter up and
Mr. Hall has been here the past week
trying to organize lodge. Tonight
there will be another public meeting
in the Opera house to be addressed
by Hon. Samuel r. McCreedy of BOs-
ton, the supreme organizer of the
order After his address Mr.. Hall
will take charge of the meeting and
organize lodge.

to reach. A. T. Gay of Groton, Vt, had
lung disease and hemorrhage and had been
given up, but DIR. Gage cured him. DIR. Levi

HARDWICKS POPULATION.

Supervisor Howe writes the Gale
donian that Il clerical error was
made in reporting the population OF
the town of Hardwick which makes
quite difference in the totals. His
corrected report gives Hardwick a
population of $40 and not 1853 as
printed last week. This makes a
gain of 65 instead of a loss of 1876
since 1880 and Hardwick is one OF
the five towns in Caledonia county
to record gain in population. The
correction makes the total popula-
ton of this county 23,411 making
the net loss since 1880 only 196.

Total,

The three largest towns, by this
census, were Barnet, Danville and
Peacham; the three smallest Groton,
Walden and Wheelock. Ryegate
contained A. more than St. Johns-
bury which today heads the list with
more than 5000. Lyndon, one of
the four smallest in 1890, now holds
second place thus crowding Barnet
to third place with six more inhab-
itants than were in the entire county
at that time. The census was taken
one year before Vermont entered the
Union, when a sailing vessel could
reach some part OF every one of the
United States, and when "out West"
meant no farther toward the setting
sun than the western part of New
York or Pennsylvania

BASE BALL.

The event of the year in base ball
circles was the game on Tuesday
between the John F. Morrill, profes-
sional team from Boston and the
local nine The home team contained
the best players in town, and consid-
ering the fact that the nine has had
little chance to practice the boys put
up strong game. Two of the play
ers, Meigs and Smith, played in the
Academy nine over dozen years
ago, and both showed in Tuesdays s
game that they had not forgotten
how to play bali. The St. .Johnsbury
battery did finely and some good
fielding was done by Lamson and a
fine double play was made. The
visiting team were up to all the tricks
of professionals and claimed every
thing. Up to the fifth inning the
game was close one but cOmbina-
ton of errors let in four runs for the
Boston nine After that the bows
steadied down and held their oppo-
nents to the finish. The game was a
financial success, the boys getting
$40 above expenses. About 81 was
collected from the 200 who were out
side the grounds sitting on the rail
road track through the whole game.
