The unlined dress skirts Of this
autumn are a considerable step toward
dress reform. They are delightfully."-
light and easily managed, and are pro-
vided with hooks and straps which in
rainy weather keep them from the
ground.
Nearly every new walking skirt sent
out by tailor or modiste is made to rest
few inches at least upon the ground
The circular skirt, made of double
width goods, has one seam only, and
that is in the back. The fold of the
goods comes just in front, and the skirt
is rounded away at the bottom, just as
seamless long cape would be cut. The
train falls in ample folds at the back as
it descends, covering the seam which
joins the skirt behind. The effect is
really graceful. and were it not that one
links of the inevitable aceumula,iops
which must be gathered up during
walk through the streets one could
hardly fail to praise the style.

The pastor who faithfully performs his
duties year after year, says the Troy
Press, always upholding high standards
in the pulpit, visiting the sick, providing
for the poor, admonishing the wayward,
guiding the young and leading an exem-
plary life-why, he will do hundred
times more good than the eloquent,
magnetic and dramatic reviyalist who
comes along, fills the largest churches,
sets the community in an uproar, makes
hundreds of alleged conversions, and
then after fortnight or such a matter
leaves the city in blaze of glory, as it
were, to seek new pastures. Every such
demonstration is followed by a relapse
and collapse, and it is serious question
in the ultimate analysis whether harm or
good has been effected. After such a
manifestation as we have described the
normal work of the pastor seems some
what tame in comparison. The congre-
CATION misses the eloquent eXhortations
of the evangelist, the thousand-throated
singing, the vast crowds and the emo
tional appeals and testimonies. Every
day church work seems harder and more
humdrum than before, and correspond
ing laXity is shown. Perhaps these
religious cyclones, however, have their
appointed mission to perform, but the
above seems fair statement of the fact
nevertheless.

cade under the auspices of the National
Government. Col. Turner explained the
plan to have a continuous encampment
of about 5000 National Guardsmen, each
week, during the Worlds Fair, under
military discipline. He has the option
of lease of large tract of land within
easy reach of Jackson park, the location
of the exposition. The land he proposes
to have laid out i'll permanent camp
ground, with buildings attached for the
use by and accommodation of friends
and relatives of the guardsmen who at
tend the encampment At one end of
the grounds, story and a half buildings
are to be erected for occupation by the
wives, mothers and sisters of the guards
men. In the center of the camp will be
spacious parade and drill ground, ade-
quate for the manGuvres of the Ma
tional Guard, in regiments or brigadeS.
Visiting guardsmen will be subsisted at
actual cost, at per capita charge of from
80 cents to 81 day. The mllitiamen
are to devote part of each forenoon to
drills, etc., not later than II o'clock in
the forenoon, and to have dress parade
at o'clock in the evening. The inter-
vening day time and the time after dress
parade to be allowed to the men for OPP
portunity to visit the exposition. The
committee on ceremonies wish to have
every State and Territory represented in
the 10, 900 troops at the dedicatory exer-
cises. The date fixed upon for the mob
ilization was August 9TH to 20th, 1893.
Capt. Mimms recommends either the Sc
lection of the two best appearing COM
panies at the next annual encampment,
to be decided by competition; or pre-
ferably, two companies made up by con-
tingents composed of the best eight men
in each company of the regiment; non
commissioned officers to be composed of
the two senior officers of the respective
grades in the regiment. He hopes that
either the National or State government
will make provision, but if not advises
each company to prepare for it by weekly
contribution of 25 cents week by men,

least ten days in advance at this season to secure
q goodly number of guests Gray sealing wax
is still used to hold the envelopes in place, but

Uncle Sans mailis still considered the safest
way of distributing invitations to all sorts of fes
tivities. Wedding invitations are enclosed in a
second envelope, but for receptions. dancing par
ties and luncheons 1t is not necessary.
An invitation should be answered always on
the spot or rs soon as possible, and once accept
ed it should be considered binding, dinner or

necessity for young girl her first entrance in

her appointments.
In bidding guests to any sort of entertainment
given for young girls debut the mothers visit

VERMONT NEWSPAPER INFLU-
ENCE

The Burlington Clipper will this week
say that Chairman Baldwin of the Re-
publican State Committee has expressed
a belief that Vermont newspapers exert
a very small political influence in the
State. This report is given in connec-
ton with the talk about buying outside
newspapers for use as campaign docu-
ments, and apparently Mr.. Baldwin made
the remark defending the course of the
committee in spending money for them.
The course of the committee in this
matter can be explained upon no other
theory than that that august body
recKons the home newspapers of little
force. The idea apparently is that a
dozen outside newspapers, which may
be wholly new to the readers, will in
fluence voters more than hundred
home sheets, which the readers have had
for years and have confidence in.
The committee is liable to make mis-
takes. And to test the soundness of
their view in this matter let them sup
pose case. Let the Republican State
Committee suppose that Vermont news
papers started for the committee it
self. How would they like that kind of
test of influence ?-Rutldnd Herald,
Wednesday. Since the above was re-
ceived the Clipper comes to our table.
We are heartily in accord with its criti-
cisms of the State COMMITTEES action
that is if said action is as our exchanges
have it. The only knowledge we have
officially. is letter from Mr. yelling to
the effect that clubbing rates will be
continued" While these matters re-
main in doubt the BANNER has made in
dependent arrangements with the Boston
Journal, the New York Press daily and
weekly, and the Troy Times, as well as
with the Cosmopolitan including the
Grant Memoirs. We certainly shall not
cut the price of the BANNER to please
anyone and shall, as said two weeks
since, serve each one of our patrons
alike, charging them just what we are
obliged to pay for the city weeklies other
than aforesaid, and $1.50 for the BAN
NBR whether dubbed or otherwise.
We think that sober second thought
will harmonize what appears now to us
to have been stupendous blunder on
the part of the State Committee.

State Agricultural College,

A Burlington despatch of Friday says
that the new agricultural and mechani-
cal bu'ldings of the University of Yer
mont and State Agricultural College will
be dedicated Tuesday, December 1st.
The dairy school also will open the same
day. The forenoon of Tuesday will be
devoted to the inspection of the new
buildings and of the equipment of the
whole university. The dedicatory exeT-
cises will be held at / o'clock in the
lecture room of the agricultural build
ing on Main street, and will consist of
appropriate addresses.
During the past summer the Univer-
sity has increased its facilities for IN
structionin agriculture and the mechlric
arts. A new farm has been bought ad-
jacent to the University proper and
complete set of farm buildings erecte |.
A new building for the mechanical ana
engineering departments has been butt
and fitted throughout with the newest
and best apparatus for instruction in
mechanical, electrical, civil and SAM
tary engineering.
The dairy school is designed to give in
struction in the science and art of but
ter-making, the handling of various
kinds of dairy apparatus, the care and
handling of milk, detection of adultera-
tions and the examination of butter of
different makes and qualities.
The new creamery building has been
fitted throughout in the most complete
and thorough manner and contains one
of the best collections of creamery ap-
paratus ever assembled. The separator
room will contain several separators and
the butter accumulation. This will be
the first time the butter accumulatCr
has ever been shown outside of the manu-
factory at New York city. The second
story contains the laboratory and lecture
room, both thoroughly equipped with
the various machines and charts for in
struction and practice in the branches
proposed to be taught.

How to Improve Your Town.

We have printed this before, but il
will bear repetition:
''If you want to improve your town,
improve it If you want to make your
town lively, make it. Don't go to sleep,
but get up and work for it. Push. Go
in. Advertise. Talk about it, and talk
favorably. If you have any property,
improve it. Paint your house; clean up
your back yard. Make your surround
ings pleasant, and you will feel better
and your property will be worth more in
the market. If you are doing reasona-
bly, well advise your friend far away to
come and invest near you. Work steadily
for your home interest. Trade at home.
Help your own dealers. Keep your
money at home as much as possible, and
it is likely to help you in return. The
successful towns have been made sue
cessful by the property owners pulling
together. Public Improvement is an in
vestment that pays. Don't waste your
time over dirty neighborhOod quarrels,

The Hon. Roger Q. Mills, the most
prominent candidate for Speaker in the
present House of Representatives, has
abandoned the free coinage of silver. He
says that Grover Cleveland will be the
next candidate of the Democracy for
President, and as he is opposed to free
silver the party will be. So he shapes
his course to be with his party The
Senate of the last Congress passed free
coinage bill, all the Democrats but two
voting for it and only six Republicans.
The Republicans of the House, as well
as of the country, were almost to man
against it. The Ohio election went
against the free coinage principles Of
the Democrats in that State. President
Harrison gave notice at Albany and here
in Bennington, that he would veto free
coinage bill if the free coinage House of
Representatives and weakened Re-
publicans in the Senate should get one
to him. Mr.. Mills sees that the free
coinage of silver is impossible with the
Republicans in the commanding position
they hold, and he backs down. The
whole Democratic party is backing
down, and if any party can back down
and change its principles quicker and
easier than the Democratic, we never
heard of it.

National Guard at Worlds Fair.

Capt ]. H. Mimms of st. Albans has
rendered his report to Gov. Page of the
convention of representatives of the Ma
tional Guard about the proposed mobili-
cation at Chicago during the World S
Fair in 1893. Gen. n. A. Miles made a
speech strongly favoring the idea to show
visiting foreigners, the physical forces of
this country, and demonstrate that with
out the large and expensive standing
armies of the Nations of the old world,
this country, with a purely voluntary
service could, in short time, mass to-
gether an army, on peace footing OF
100 900 men. well disciplined, well armed
and equipped, and ready for attack or
defense and, to afford opportunity for
the massing, subsisting and vancouver
ing of the National Guard of the country
in army corps, on similar scale to the
autumn maneuvres of the great Euro
pean powers. He thinks it should be
made regular thing at least once de-
