GIFT TO TIE UNIVERSITY,
A Daughter ofa Former pnstor OF tho
Unitarian Church the Donor.


Miss aroline H. Irgersol of Keene, n.
H., has given TO tho University, to he de
posted in the Billings librory, pitcher
formerly belonging to her father, Rev. DR..
lngersoll for many years pastor Of the Uni
tartan church of this place. The pitcher is
Of solid silver, Of beautiful design and bears
the inscription, presented to Rev. Dr. In
gorsoll, 10y the ladies Of his society Cam
bridge, Oct. 3, l9i0.n 1--WE thank God
upon every remembrance OF you"
Ia sending the pitcher to the University
Miss lngersol gives as her reason for dong
so, the great interest DE-. lugersol always
felu in the University, and especially his
attectionate intimacy with Preside 1T Marsh.
Miss lngersoll adds in her own behalf that
1.-THE old college holds many memories for
her, and ''now that dear Mr.. Wares por-
trait is to be there she finds that
"a stronger home feeling towards
Burlington and the university induces her
to wish this family trsasure to 10. there
rather than in any other spot.
AS the generation which knew DR.. In
gersoil has almost entirely passed away, we
have thought 1t fitting that some memorial
of him should accompany the announce
ment of this git, and have pleasure III pre-
senting TO our READERS the following grace
full sketch written by one who knew him in
her childhood, in whose family be was &C
customed to visit, AMI whose estimate of
him reflects the impression he left in many
families ana the entire community:
Dr. IngersoII was for man years one of
Burllngton'e best known and most honored
citizens, and it Is fitting that some memorial
of him should remain here where the
greater part of bis life work accom-.

| There are those who still carry in fresh
remembrance his rare social gifts his
genial humor and ever ready wit; the
keen yet kindly glance ofahls eye, the cheer
! fulness that his lifelong enemy, i'll health,
could not destroy; his hatred of shams and
his love for ali things beautiful, of which
! the fair garden that gaddened the eye of
| the Iasser-by, where Clarke street now
! joins with Pearl, bore testimony. In his
| own church no pastor was ever more be-
! loved, aud he himself claimed to have as
many friends outside of it as within. The
vein of humor that characterized him did
not interfere with the reverent earnestness
of his manner when treating of sacred
themes and perhaps no trait Of bis was
more marked then the fearlessness
with which lie rebuked evil lie
was deeply Interested in the great political
and moral questions of the day, and these
often formed the theme of his discoursss.

to declare that slavery was disgrace to a
Christian nation, and did all i'll his power

shown in his attitude in regard to temper

why Days of Grace We've Adolf she

w NY DAYS OF Grace W eye .iDDii Sheu
The following communication from
prominent resident OF st. Adams has been
received;
My attention has been called to a bin that the
last Legislature passed doing away with days
Of grace have failed to SEQ any comments
IN your valued paper. either pro or con in re-
gard 10 it. Being somewhat interested in the
matter should like to hear from you in some
item in the paper or otherwise. AS far as |
can see do not understand the point, and as
Ear a. can learn our home paper does not
wish to tackle the matter.
If our valued correspondent had been
able to sign his communication Constant
Reader" he would not havs failed to see
our comments in relation to the subject Of
abolshing days Of grace, but inasmuch as
an erroneous idea has become prevalent in
relation to the day upon which the law will
take effect well to the law itself we
gladly refer to the matter again.
In the adjustment of days O.: grace the
legislature has done away with an old Gus
tom Of merchants which has outlive1 its
usefulness and is now of value Meth
err to the borrower or lender. Days of grace
were established In olden times when com
muncation was not go rapid as the Mt
present time and were intended to give
| the debtor the benefit Of any delay
which might occur in the passage
! Of money to the creditor. At one
time no interest was charged for
| days Of grace but now the law allows in
tersst for grace days if the privilege is
taken, and the means of communication are
so rapid that, rs wa have said, there lie no
advantage from grace to either of thu par
ties concerned. The National Banking As
seciation had recommended this step to the
various Statos aud Vermont Is ono OF the
frat to adopt the recommendation. The
statement made in SEINE directions that the
law will 20 into effect January ! next is
wrong, the Legislature having passed a bill
providing that all laws. unless otherwise
specified, should take effect February !,
1898, and the measure sbolishing days OF
grace falls under that head.
In another column will be found a CODY
OF tho circular containing the law, sent
out by the Merchants bank OF this city. 1t
will be noticed that the law will allow nc
grace on notes aud drafts payable In Yer
mont and dated on or after Feb. |, 1898.
and that notes or drafts falling due on Sun
day or IA legal holiday will bs payable on
the next following business day. In this
connection it will also be noted that the 22d
OF February Washington's birthday is
added to the list of legal holidays After
Feb. /, 1893, when legal holiday falls on
Sunday, the preceding business day will be
Observed as the holiday.
The new arrangement viii cause some
bother at FIRST but it is believed that in the
end 1t will operate to the satisfac tioa Of all
concerned.

Cheap sugar may go. The New Orleans
Picayune says that the repeal Of the bounty
aud the restoration of the old tariff are in

that with the Mckinley bill in force and
sugar on the free list, tho revenue OF the
government has fallen far short of meeting
requirements, aud it is estimated that the
close of the next fiscal year will show a
large deficit hecause OF the practically pro-
hibitive character of the law Our demo-

received from well-known bank offloal OF
Waterbury:
To the Editor of the Free Press:
In your editorial in the FREE PRtss on
why Days OF Grace Wore Abolished" you
say: ut viii I've noticed that the law will allow
no grace on notos and drafts payable in Yer
ruent and dated on or after Feb. l. 1893" etc.
The law as printed In the same paper reads as
follows:
section !. This act shall not amply to con-
tracts made before the first day OF January
A. D.. 1898 "
Is not this the same us saying that it
Jan. !, 1893? In other words. when
note dated January l.. 1893 PAYABLE
in fifteen days after date fal due? Please
answer through tho columns of the FREE
PREss. This is IA question Of Importance to
bank cashiers in order to know when to pro-
test notes or drafts If not paid at maturity
It seems to me that as the law reeds notes
dated January are not entitled to grace.
When the law aboishing days of grace
was passed it was understood that all laws,
unless the date was otherwise specified would
take effect on Jan, !, under the general stat
ute as heretofore. Section quoted by our
correspondent is held by bank men to have
been superhuous, but it was added with tho
evident intention OF making the application
OF tho law painer. THIS law does
not contain o section, however. stat
ing expressly when it shall take
effect, and the act passed near tho close CT
the session OF the Legislature providing that
all laws should take effect February l.
unless otherwise provided, therefore in
cludes the law abolshing days OF grace
Section is consequently not only super1u-
ops but it is now actually misleading, de
feating the very object with which it was
evidently inserted in tbs law.
We do not understand that the Ian
gunge employed in section is equiva-
lent to saying tuat the act shall ap-
pig to contracts made after the first day OF
January 1893. That would be tina natural
inference from its wording, but In such a
connection as this nothing can be inferred
legally; everything must be expressly stated.
The effecs upon this law of the act in rela-
ton to laws taking effect February l is tbs
same as it would have been had section 4
been omitted entirely.
In relation to note dated January l
there might be some questions to its legal
ity inasmuch as that date falls upon Sunday,
but assuming that it we're legal business
day a note Of the kind described would be
duo January 16, and unloss otherwise stated,
the days of grace would extend the time in
which it might be paid to January 10.
We might say in conclusion that the best
authorities seem to agree that notss and
other evidences Of indebtedness ID ade before
Feb. /, 1893, are to he treated the same as
if the law abolishing days OF grace had not
been passed

AN APPLE CORNER
The Van Horns Have Got II and the Price
Goes Up.

BUFFALO, Nov. 1.-THE dried fruit mar
ket has been cornere.l by the Van Horns of
New York and Niagara Falls and the
Stanleys of Chicago. They have an i'm
mense cold storage warehouse at Suspen-
sion Bridge which contains | 1000 pounds
of dried apples and 10000 barrels of fresh
apples. Greetings. Spitzenberg and Spys,
which are extremely scarce just now. As
fast as the cvaporators in the country
turned out the dried fruit it was brought
up By the Var Horns and now some of the
big evaporators have shut down.
The supply this year has been much
smaller than the demand, and the price of
larrcIed apples has gone up. Apples IN
Cincinnati, Kansas City st. Joseph, Omaha,
Milwaukee and st. Paul are, in view of the
corner, up to 81 20 per barrel and will go
higher. The Van Horns and Stanleys
expect to clear S:'oo,tsu by the corner. Il
have been trying long time, said Willis
Van Horn, Ito get my own price on applcs,
and now the time has come"
