Death of Dom Pedro.
Thc Life, Character and Achievements
of Patriotic Ruler.

ora Patriotic Ruler.
Dom Pedro, the ex-Emperor Of Brazil
died at Paris, where he had lived for two
years past. last Friday. His malady was
diabetes. The physical aiment was doubt
less aggravated by the mental suffering
which the deposed Emperor had endured.
His last conscious words were an expression
of affection for Brazil, and of regret that
he could not 90 back there to die. He felt
bitterly his exile and to the last cherished
the hope of being recalled to his native
land.
Dom Pedro was born in Brazil i'm 1925.
lie was son of the reigning family in
Portugal, who were driven from that coun-
try by the French in 1907. When, few
years later, Brazil, Heretofore colonial
possession of Portugal, became an empire.
the father of Dom Pedro became its first
emperor After reignng a short time he
abdcated the throne in favor of his son. to
return to Portugal. Dom Pedro was then
only six years old. At II he was declared
of legal age by the Brazilian legislature.
and crowned on July Is, 1871. His reign
lasted nearly half a century, terminating
with the declaration of a republic ON Nov.
H., 1850.
This period was one of peace and great
prosperity. Great advances were made i'm
material civilization. Vast tracts of coun-
try were explored, surveyed and opened M
to settlement Railways We're constructed.
ocean commerce was promoted, and the
great rivers of the empire were opened up
to steam communication. But the most
notable act of this monarch'S whole reign
was the emancipation of slaves. Twenty
three years AGO the initial stpps were tax
on. and in 1855 the final act of emancpa-
ton was passed, the influence of the En-
peror's daughter carrying it triumphantly
through the Brazilian Parliament.
In November, 1889, occurred the sudden
revolution which drove him from his
throne, and eXiled him and the rest of the
royal family from Brazil. Within a few
days Of his DOWNFALL he sailed with his
wife, daughter and son-in-law for Lisbon,
where, on December Is, the ex-Empress
died. This, he avowed, no doubt with
truth. was to him a greater bereavement
than the loss of his crown. After a short
stay in the Portuguese capital, Dom Pedro
adopted Paris as his place of residence
and during the last two years has followed
the life of gentleman of culture.
Dom Pedro had been not only a ruler OF
exceptional dignity, benevolence and en-
teIprise, but he was a virtuous, widely cul-
tured and accomplished man. Professor
Agassiz declared him to he one of the best
practical biologists in the world and he
was. as well, profound archPologist. Be
yond doubt, no other reigning sovereign
of the present time was more learned, cul
tured or liberal minded than the last En-
peror of Brazil.

What the University of Vermont Is Try


ing to DO for the Farmers.
The Burlington Free Press says: "The
dedication of the new agricultural and me-
chanical buildings of the University and
Agricultural college, and the opening of the
new dairy school connected Herewith on
the LIST instant, was an event of no little
significance and Importance to our COM
monwealth. The institution, whose en-
larged scope and new facilities for its work
were thus commenced, is a state insttu-
ton. 1t exists primarily for the good of
the people of Vermont. 1t is devoted to
the promotion of the education of the
youth of our state and of the highest ma
terial interests of its citizens. Its trustees,
recognizing their duty to the common
wealth, as officers thereof, have endeavor-
ed to meet, to the full extent of their means
and power, the growing demand of our
times, for practical as well as liberal in
struction for the youth of Vermont, and
the new farm, farm buildings, creamery
and dairy school, and the large new build
ing for mechanical work and instruction,
provided at a cost of some $50, 600, drawn
from the funds of the University, or raised
upon its credit, without the aid of a dollar
from the government fund or from the
state treasury, are presented by them to
the citizens of our state as an earnest of
their intentions, and an evidence of their
careful plans for the public good. The oc-
casion called together goodly number OF
representative citizens of our state, who
expressed their surprise and qualification
in words of unstinted praise. Leading
farmers and manufacturers declared that
they were satisfied from what they saw
that the University was giving to the farm
crs and citizens of our state all that they
could ask for in the way of instruction and
facilities for thorough education in the
practical arts and sciences. And all heart
lily congratulated each other and the state
on the new opportunities and advantages
thus opened to the rising generation. The
trustees and managers of our state univer
Sity have done great work for the state
in the past year OF two, and they are plan
ming for added improvements and still
larger facilities in the near future"
