RUTLAND, VT, August 28.-The presi-
dent left Proctor for Rutland at 1l:l5
this morning. Arriving there, he was
met by committee and escorted to
Memorial hall, where a reception was
held. A stand was erected in front of
the building. The president was intro
dnced and made speech to large
crowd assembled. /.
After the introduction OF the presi-
denk to the throng, he repeated, amid
the laughter of the audience, his state
ment made in other places, that he
feared the peoples kindness to him
would kill him. He briefly went over
the history of the country up to the
var of the rebellion, saying that he
thought that war was allowed to 60 on by
Providence. ''God desired that
the experiment of free govern
ment should have q more perfect
trial. I" said he. "We will never forget
the great electric thrill and shock which
passed through the country when the
frst gun was fred at Sumpter. Debate
was closed; the orators were withdrawn !;
RgreAt wave of determined patriotism
swept over the country. This wave was
mt to be stayed in its progress until the
hgt vestige Of rebellion had been swept
fTOm the face of our beloved land"
He then spoke of the part the usually
peaceful New England people took in
the war, saying that the rebels who
Thought the spirit of 1776 had been
9oenched, found themselves badly mis-
teken. Had they (the. rebels) not
boen mistaken, the war might have
boen avoided, but it was go
written in the severe but benevolent
purPoses OF God. There was the martyr
president who was to affix his name to a
declaration that would be as famous as
that TO which your fathers affixed their
signatures in I776. We were to be in
truth as well rs theory free people.
There was no other pathway to emanci-
patton than along the bloody track of
Armies, but, guided by the hand of the
power and wisdom that is above us and
ovcr AS, our armies followed that path
70 the accomplishment of that glorious
result that struck the shackles from
iUur million slaves"
He then closed with q greeting to the
Grand Army men in the crowd.
Just as the president concluded his
remarkAeRe DIR. Eeaver, on behalf of
the board Of trade, presented Mrs. Har-
rison, through him, an oil painting
representing = view of Killington, the
highest peak in the Green mountain
range. The president returned thanks
in > few words ON behalf of Mrs. Har-
Tison, expressing regret that she had
been unable to accompany him on the
Trip.
After luncheon at the residence of P,
". Clement, the presidential party re-
turned to Proctor.

pared by competent hands. Charles

A Father Kills His Wife and Children,
Then Suicides.
New York, August 2S.-The tenants
in four-story tenement house last
night heard pistol shots in an apart
ment occupied by family named Bax-
ter. No one sought to learn what the
shooting meant until this morning,
when it was noticed that none of the
Baxters had yet been seen. A policeman
went upstairs, forced in the door, and
there found John Baxter, painter, 80
years of age; his wife Mary, aged 2S
years, and their children, Katie, 6
years old. and John, years old,
all lying with bullet holes
in their heads. Beside the
body of the husband and father lay 32-
calibre revolver with four cartridges dis
charged. 1t is supposed he killed his
wife and children and then shot him
self. On the table was letter written
by him to his mother. in which he told
of his intention to kill his family and
himself. There was no evidence of a
struggle by any of the victims. Baxter
was probably insane, as no motive for
the horrible crime is known.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.

! The Life Cowhidcd out of II Young Nan
Named Perry by II Gang of Desperadoes.
j. ~. Dckey, of Independence, Gray
son county. is in the city. Mr.. Diclley
is merchant OF that place and one of
the posse who arrested gang of dcspe-
radoes few weeks ago on the charge of
unlawful conduct and robbery.
Mr.. Dickey told TINES reporter that
young man named Perry worked for q
man named Todd. This man had sew
eral brothers, all desperate characters.
A few weeks ago one of the Todds
missed sum of money and Straightway
laid the blame on young Perry. The
boy denied tho charge, and it is now
alleged that the desperadoes took him
FROM home and whipped him to death.
Dung Perry has not been heard of
since, and three of the Tudds have been
arrested on suspicion.
Mr. Dicley relates a narrowing tale
of the reported punishment of young
Perry. 1t is reported that the gang
took the young man out and alternately
cowhided him to death. A negro who
passed the lonely spot in the woods
heard the young mans cries and started
to see what the matter was. On arriv-
ing at the scene he was shot at several
times, and barely made his escape bv
hard run through the toughest under
growth.
The negro returned to independence
and reported the case. The country
was secured by posse and three of the
gang were captured a few days ago.
The whereabouts of young Perry is
still unknown, and it has been given
up as an assured fact that he has met
with foul play.

According to " orth This EpIthct My lie

fAccoTuihH 10 worth This Epithct Muy he
Applied to American Women.
There are no women in the world
who think SO much about dress or de-
vote so much time to it as Americans.
The result, however, writes Kate
iHcld, is hardly commensurate with the
expenditure of time and money. To
think about dress does not necessarily
involve what is necessarily. involve
what is seriously called thought. When
monkeys act like men we do not accuse
them of thought. We attribute to them
wonderful power of imitation In
dress we are nothing but monkeys.
We have not yet acquired sufficient
taste or knowledge to make our own
fashions, so we wait for the modistcs of
Paris to tell us what they please and
then adopt their ideas regardless of
consequences. France is the most ar
tistic nation in Europe, but we should
take our France with discretion. What
Is suitable for one is not necessarily
suitable for all, and it is we'll known
that costumes prepared for the Alncri-
can market are ''louter" in style than
those intended for home customers.
American patrons arc sought because
they arc willing to pay extravaganza
prices, but their Judgment as rule
does not command respect.
One day In Paris Worth talked to me
most vehcmortly on this subject. He
said women We're fools to act like Il
flock of sheep; that he as an artist al
ways consulted individual physique. but
he found the greatest difficulty in max
ing his clients wear what best suited
them.
because I invent beautiful cos
tune for young and graceful woman,
should it be worn by q fat dowagcr?
But the downgcr will have it in spite of
all cntrcaty. Nowadays there are no
old women and very few middlc-aged
ones As for fat women, they don't ex-
;st-
"All want to wear tight-fitting white
gowns, and beauties they look! If there
be color that displays crowsfeet and
over1owing figures that need recfiug it

there's no use talking. Rave given it
UP. To live in peace must let obsti-
nate women have their own way.
People say / set the fashions

own peculiar style, appears in some
thing admirably suited 20 it, and all the
rest Of your sex blindly copy her. It's
really too dreadful, and I'm sorry to say
your countrywomen are the greatest
sinners i'll this respect, though some of
GU possess exquisite taste. When an
American is thoroughly nice she is

should not be thoroughly nice" in
