ST.. ALBANs, VT, June S0-The Yer
mont Farmers League is very much
alive these days, and the Executive

platform
"First-We are unqualifedly oppos-
ed to class legislation.
"Second-We favor an equal and
just system Of taxation based upon all
real and personal property alike, and
we demand of Congress q law to pro-
vide graded income tax.
"Third-We demand strict economy
in expenses Of State and National Gov

correspond with the financial condition
OF taxpayers.
"Fourth-We favor a sound and suf-
ticient currency.
"Fifth-We demand a free vote and
fair count for every voter, and adoption
OF the Australian system of voting for
the whole State.
"Sixth-We favor universal com.
pulsory common school education,
after d reasonable period, as condi'
ton of suffrage.

itation of all monopolies, especially
such as speculate in farm and food pro
ducts.
"Eighth-We demand just and equi-
table freight and passenger rates on all

Present.

We are indebted to John D. Tilson,
late Of Yale, for a copy Of the Yale
class book Of 81, of which he is editor,
Yale turned out one hundred and
eighty-seven graduates this year OF
which number Mr., Tilson is one.
The book to which we refer is bound
in blue cloth, blue being emblematic OF
Yale. There are many features in the
book Of interest to the class. Among
them is a sketch of each members life,
giving the date OF his birth, lineage,
etc, These sketches are arranged in a
spicy manner and exhibit much
humor. There is, running through
the entire book, much that is charac-
teristic of body of students.
Each year from the freshman to the
senior is considered in a separate arti-
Gle in which the joys and sorrows of
the student are depicted in a touching
manner Each article is copiously
supplied with humor. Evidently the
freshman has the hardest battles ID
fight. He is without the sympathy of
the advanced classes and if he gets any
glory he has to earn it by persistent
efforts. There is a fence under large
shade trees where the students sit and
tell their stories and have good time
generally. The fence is provided with
comfortable seats, but freshman is
not permitted to enjoy the luxury of
sitting here until his ball team has de-
feated that of the Harvard freshman
class, Then he enjoys all the pleas
ures that may be derived from sitting
ON the fence; and it is, indeed, a
greater pleasure to him after having
battled for the privilege. If he is de-
fcated in the game he has other OPP
portunities, but if he never wins he
never gets on the fence.
Another feature Of the book is the
list of nicknames, and perhaps no
member of the class has escaped a
place in this list.
1t is very interesting to read their
expressions as to why they entered
Yale.
A large per cent of the class will en-
ter the law profession, an evidence that
to coin money out of the misfortunes
of others is considered the easiest
road to wealth and prosperity.

On the Wing.

A COMET reporter, in company with
friend had a pleasant ride to Knox
vile and return Sunday. We went
and returned on Ross Smiths train,
which is noted for its promptness. 1t
never dallies, and if the Morristown
and Paint Rock division would do its
part No. 5would never fail to reach
Knoxville before dinner time.
There is not a more accommodating
conductor on the road than Captain
Smith, and yet he has a peculiar way
of looking man through and through
for his fare, and not a man escapes
with his ticket for a second ride, how
ever much he may desire to.
Among the attractions along the
road was the wheat harvest. The
shocks stood thickly in every wheat
field, and there was every evidence
that it was Of superior quality.
The abundance of wheat, the brown
stubble fields, the growing corn, the
marble quarries, the fresh grass, the
leafy groves, the rushing river and
every feature of the natural world
known to upper East Tennessee, lay
out before our gaze apicture of beauty
frightened by the morning sunlight.
Knoxville we found to be growing,
though not beyond our expectations
We are ready to admit that they have
got the bulge on us somewhat. but
like every loyal son of Johnson City
we are hopeful that the day is not fan
ahead when our requirements will be
fully significant of our wonderful nat.
ural advantages.

By Telegraph to The Comet.

By Telegraph to The Comet
SPARLAND, ILL, July 1.-About
twelve years ago an esteemed citizen,
named John Carver, died, leaving one
daughter and three sons. Subsequent
ly his widow, whom he had left some
$4,000, married mere boy, named
Royal Frisby. Frisby at once deyel-
oped into first-class tough and began
spending the money in debauchery.
The citizens have for long time
been in arms against Frisby, and on
Saturday Ia White-Cap circular was
sent to him and several sent to heads
of families, with an attached prayer.
"Help us, for humanity's sake" and
signed by the Widow Carver and her
three sons. The original circular de-
tailed how, while yet the wife of Car
yer, Frisby ruined her daughter, Is
years old, and how she bore him a
natural child in the house of his wife,
her mother, The father buried
the child in the yard within sixty
feet of the house. Mrs Frisby was
compelled by threats to witness the
grossest Of outrages by her husband
until her daughters shame and the
shame Of her household became public
property. Then she secured divorce
and immet lately thereafter her hus.
band comp elled her daughter, with Q
second natu raj child only two weeks
old, to MARI him.
Sunday, not having needed thu
warning Of the circular, he stepped
out Of her house, and before he ha(
gone twenty feet he was filled will
buckshot and instantly killed. Thu
Coroner's jury held Gid Culver, 0
Henry; Mrs. Laura Frisby and he
son, John Carver, for this killing, 1
is reported that Mrs. Carver's hous
was burned to the ground Monday.
The killing meets with the approva
Of the community, and hundreds Q
citizens have offered to go on tn
bonds Of the prisoners. 1t is said tn
first child born to the daughter wa
strangled by Frisby. ~.

The following article is taken from a
Virginia paper andrefers to the unique
marriage OF parties who have acquain-
tances in this city: Yesterday after
noon, G. A. Soden, Of G. A. Soden &
Co., wholesale jewellers, surprised his
employees by deviation from the rout-
inc of his office, which to say the least
is unusual in the affairs OF wholesale
jewelry establishment. He was as
sisted in his clever surprise by Miss
Bernadette Katharine Duffy, the firms
assistant manager. Miss Duffy APP
peared at her desk in the morning clad
in neat travelling dress and assumed
her duties as usual. At precisely
o'clock, Mr.. Soden, glancing up from
his desk, was greeted by the Rev. DR.
Thomas, one Of the most prominent
ministers of Chicago; then quietly
turning to Miss Duffy, he saif '1t il
o'clock" Most of the clerks ha(
observed that something unusal wa,
going on and their curiosity was soor
increased, by the command Of mana
ger Yakel, who said: "Come III
everybody" No one was slow to obey
and when all were gathe red about ii
groups, Miss Duffy tin idly took tn,
proffered arm, and the minister, to tn
surprise Of everybody, except Manage
Yakel, began the marriage service

There is also an appendix which traccs as

Der OF verses whose authorship has long
been doubtful. Before referring In detail
TO this supplementary matter. we must note
the astonishing omission OF any quotation in
this book from Algernon Charles Swinburne.
Can IL be that Mr. Bartlett imagines that GER
tain lines OF Swlnburne's are not RENE mbered
by the general reader more tcnaciously and
moro fondly than many Of those which he has
here set DOWN. We have In mind not merely
che remarkable choruses In the "Atalanta in

From Horace Mr.. Bartlett can extract but
seven sayings which can truthfully be said TO be

are: Brave men we're living before Agamem-

mountains will be in labor: an absurd mouse
will be born" In peace he as wise man
should mike suitable preparation for war;"
a counsel which George Washington. although
he never read Horace repeated In speech to
Congress-: and. finally. the aphorism. " II you
wish me to weep. you yourself must feel grief"

to tho so-called paradox OF Diderot.

FIRST NOTICE.

FIRST NOTICE.
It Is not q political but exclusively social
history Of the times which Mr.. WILLIAM Con-
NOR SYDNEY has undertak ken to recount In two
volumes entitled England and the English in the
Eighteenth Century tMacmllan'sl 1t is true that
Mr. Lecky had already devoted some chapters
to the same topic. but these were ancillary to
the main purpose OF his narrative. and loft
room for tho production Of detailed picture
OF manners such as is hero exhibited 1t IL
probable TINT very few even among we'll
informed persons appreciate the breadth OF
the gulf which separates us from our
great-grandiathers as regards the appli-
ances. conyoniencos. and comforts Of civil
lied life. From this point Of view
1t Is safe to say that the hundred
years which have elapsed since 1880 represent
larger amount Of evolution and divergence
than was spanncd by tho preceding three CEN
turtles No doubt tho England OF Elizabeth
differed materially from tho England OF Henry
VI. for In the interval had occurred the intro.
ducton OF printing. the suppression Of the mon
asteries. and tho complete rupture Of the re-
ligious bond which had united England to the
rest OF Catholic Christendom. But these
agencies Of change active and far-reaching az
they were. seem yet nconsidernble. as regards
their effect on social distingui from moral
ohu iutcHcCtuhi COHpaToQ
with tho applications OF steam. gas and cleo
tricity. tho cheapening and consequent multi
plying of newspapers and books. and the pro-
found legislative Innovations and reforms
which have followed tho Reform act Of
1882. One can imagine Sir Thomas
More conversing with Dr. johnson at Mrs.
Thralo's without too violent st 'etch Of the
imagination. The topography and architect
ure OF large part Of London would Of course
seem strange to him. because the great fire OF
Charles Ills time had INTERVIEWED. And he
would also be struck by the westward move
ment OF the town houses Of the aristocracy.
He would likewise observe some change In the
clothes and manners OF the upper classes. but
these were. after all. insignificant contrasted
with those which Burke would encounter
should he now enter West End drawing
room. Again. not only has the social trans
formation effected in the last hundred years
been profound and diversified. but. as
Mr.. Sydney does not weary OF re-
peating. 1t has been almost always for
the better. 1t is possible that articles
OF food We're less adulterated and that the
materials Of which clothing is made were
sounder In 100 than they are now. But with
this single exception We have every right TO
aver that We are better on than our great
grandfsthers. and that they were the bad i
old times and not the good old times
OF which glimpsss are given US In the
