A TRIP TO CHICAGO.
A Gentleman Tells the Experience OF
the Recent Excursion Party.

The second Worlds Fair excursion
from Vermont left St. Johnsbury May
Is, at 3.20 p. M, and had a dellght-
ful and every way successful trip thro'
to Chicago, which place was reached
about 10 a. m. Saturday-the excur-
sionists leaving the train atthe Worlds
Fair grounds and. taking in a days
pleasure and sightseeing before going
out to Hotel Endeavor at night.
The st. Johnsbury party were join
ed at Swanton by two car loads from
Western Vermont and Massachusetts,
under the charge of L. p. Thayer of
West Randolph. The trip was made
in luxurious Wagner cars. Those
from this section went in the cars
bedford" and ''Barnegat, under the
care Of c. I. Walter of Republican
fame.
Suffice it to say that everything
proved just as promised, which is al
together too much to expect in this un-
certain lite and but seldom happens.
The managers were patient under much
questioning, courteous, and were ready
to do all in their power to make the
journey pleasant for the party.
The meals were served at hotels and
restaurants along the route. The
need of praise, however, belongs to
the delicious breakfast served atthe On
tario House, Windsor Beach, where
everything was simply perfect. No
one found any fault with the party's
stop there save those who came down
with fully equipped bar, expecting to
make nice thing of SO large an ex-
cursion. They remarked in disgust
that they ssnever struck such a queer
crowd everybody wanted water" 1t
seems that they didn't sell enough of
their wines and other liquors to pay
freightage of the drinkables down to
the Beach, which speaks well for the
temperance principles of the crowd
from Vermont.
A stop of nearly four hours was
made at Niagara Falls to enable all to
see the greatest natural wonder of the
United States, if not of the world. Too
many of the finest writers of all lands
have described the Falls in eloquent
phrase for me to even attempt a single

june NIagazine Notes.

The first to come Of June magazines is
Scribner's, which has a frontispiece
worthy OF attention, representing the large
trees of California. The second paper in
series on MEMS Occupations" is by Ar
thur Hill and is a graphic description of
'Life in Logging Camp in the White
Pine Forests of Michigan. Many Of its
illustrations are by Dan Beard, who visit
ed the camp in midwinter and these
sketches are from life. "An Artist in Ja-
pan" is concluded in this numser, and al
SO 'The One / Knew Best of All" by Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett, in which she
gives an account of the first story she ever
sent to publishers. The ''Birds That We
See" is one of the out-of- door papers
which are to be given this summer. 1t is
by Ernest Z. Thompson and is illustrated
by the author with gratifying results as is
usually the case when writer and artist are
the same. Robert Grants "Opinions of
Philosopher'is begun here and is as anus
ing as was his ''Reflections OF a Married
Man" and of which this is a sequel.

word. Instead, | will quote what An.
thony Trollope says; '.Of all the sight
on this earth of ours which tourist:
travel TO see, am inclined to give the
palm to the Falls of Niagara. In the
catalogue of such sights, intend to
include all buildings, pictures, statues
and wonders of art made by mems
hands, also all beauties of nature pre-
pared by the Creator for the delight OF
his creatures. This is a long word ;
but as far as my taste and dJudgmen: 90.
it is justified. | know no other one
thing so beautiful, so glorious, so ma
jestic, so powerful. +" The memory Of
that stop at Niagara will always lin
ger with those who were there.
Another wonder of the trip was a
ride through the St. Clair tunnel, un-
der the ST. Clair river from Sarnia,
Canada, to Port Huron, Michigan.
This is the greatest submarine tunnel
in the world. II was opened Dec. Z,
1891, and cost 81, 100000. 1t is a
continuous iron tube. IS feet, o inches
in diameter and COPS feet long. The
length Of the approaches is 5.G03 feet,
making the whole length, including ap-
proaches, over two miles. At this
point in our journey, all the watches
were set back one hour TO make them
correspond with Chicago time.
On our return trip our train made
the fastest time from Oswego to Sus-
pension Bridge ever made on that
road. Some few months ago all the
papers were telling OF the wonderfully
fast time made on that same strip of
road by the train conveying Wander
bilt and Depew. Their time was l55
miles in 1876 minutes.
Our train was a special train drawn
by the same engine, with the same en-
gineer-Mr. James Brady-that took
Vanderbilt and Depew over the route.
We beat the record by running the l55
miles in l79 minutes. During that
time we lost twenty minutes in
stops, thus making the actual time l55
miles in lj9 minutes. Good for YER
mont
The journey was enlivened by inn
promptu concerts jest and many laugh
able incidents. No one passenger
added more to the pleasure and mirth |
Of the trip than did DR.. A. NJ. Cush-
ing Of Springfield, Mass. He was ably |
seconded by Dr.. r. L. johnson of
West Concord, who represents the ho-
and allopathic schools re-
spectively and to whose mercy the par
~ were commended if i'll.
OF the reception at Harvey and our
a; Hotel Endeavor and in
Chicago, may write some other time.

Randolph Normal school.

The following is an extract from an edi-
torial in the Farmers Advocate of June /:
As we recently had the pleasure of vls-
il to this institution, some brief descrp-
tion of the place and method OF instruc-
tion may be of interest to our readers. On
the occasion of our visit, the exercises
were opened in the morning with a short
religious service, followed by calisthenics
by nearly the entire school, conducted by
Miss Putnam; and which were performed
with great precision, evincing painstak-
ing instruction. The classes then sepa-
rated going TO their several rooms for rec
itation. We had the pleasure of hearing
the class in psychics, which is part of
the instruction in pedagogy, and were
much pleased with the proficiency shown
by this class. In the meantime the class
in drawing, under the guidance of Miss
Estabrook, were seated under the large,
umbrageous trees in front OF the institute,
making sketches of the building. Then
followed another set of classes, one OF
which was engaged in an analytical study
of Bryant's translation of the Had, in
course OF which Prof. Conant's advanced
method OF the study OF English grammar
was shown. From first 70 last we found
all the exercises of a most interesting
character, giving evidence Of the abilities
Of Prof. Consnt and his corps OF teachers
in giving the required education necessa-
~ TO qualify the students for the work OF
imparting instruction to Others"

possible operations in that direction
must be more trying to the temper
than TO the pocket. Nobody could
well lose more than very few dol
lars in that way.
The upshot of all this is that the
Vermonter who visits the Fair week
or ten days with economy and tolerable
comfort must bid good-by to 800.
That is what it will amount to. Some
body will now and then run considera-
bly, under that figure, but it will be a
mighty sight easier TO run over it.
When shall the visit be made: There
is not now any clearly best time. The
visitor who gets there very soon will
find things incomplete, to be sure, but
be will avoid midsummer heat and
the great crowd and the flies. There
viii be a worlds congress Of flies later
in the season. Ii is also TO be remem-
bered that, with sham construction Of
buildings in which many thousands OF
people are to be housed, in other re-
spects, there is sure to be sham work
in sanitary matters, and no one can
tell what that win result in as the sea-
son advances.
The exhibition will be complete-if
ever-in June and August, but that is
the season of great heat and other OBJ
jections. September will be the most
delightful month Of all to visit the Fair
in many respects, and some observers
plan TO avoid it for that very reason
it will naturally bring enormous
crowds. And in October it will begin
to be cold.
Whoever goes 10 the Fair should
wear big and old and generally COM
Portable shoes. This may sound com
but a glance at people walk
ing anywhere on the grounds-espe-
cially toward night-will show that it
is not uncalled for. The visitor should,
in all respects, dress much more as if
for walking match than Tor a social
occasion. Fine clothes will be utterly
ou; Of place, and comfortable ones new
er more urgently needed. Nothing
should be worn that can be easily spoil
ID by dust or rain or by anything else,
md there should be no valuable jewell
y worn and as little money as possible |
,arried. What money is carried should |
20 in ''pocket in shirt" or its
equivalent. Whosoever puts money
nto trunks and similar places is liable
o learn something by experience.
There is already a worlds congress of
hieves on hand.
There must be great deal of dis
comfort aud fatigue. 1t is wonder

y no possibility so much as glance at

Memorial Day at Tnnbridge.
May 81, 1898.

On the morning of Memorial Day spe-
clal details of comrades from Whitney
Post visited and decorated the graves OF 81
soldiers who are sleeping in the cemeteries
scattered about the hillsides of this town.
At noon the Post and its Relief Corps met
at the G. A. X. hall, where they formed a
procession and, escorted by the band,
marched to the church common where
they were joined by the school children
and citizens, and the procession marched
to the village cemetery, where the special
G.. A. r. service was held. The Memorial
hymn, "Another Year." was sung by the
special choir at the cemetery and las part
of the GAR. service, "America"was play.
ed by the band. The procession was again
formed and marched to the Cong'l church.
The choir sang the Memorial hymn, Come
with Flowers, Bright Flowers;" prayer
was offered by Rev. c. E. Davis and "They
Rest in Peace was sung by the choir, af-
ter which the address was given by DR.. e.
L. Dean. After the address the Memorial
hymn, ''Cover Them Over" was sung ,and
the band played a selection. The church
was tastefully decorated with flags and
flowers. Back of the pulpit was hung the
War Record and portrait OF Orlando
Whitney. Portraits of Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan, Logan and Stannard were hung
upon the walls. The speaker, band, choir
and all who took part in the exercises of
the day seemed to feel its beauty and to be
filled with its spirit. The day and the peo-
pie were in harmony. The address was
full of thought and every sentence of it
was interesting. There was in it no Jest
nor story; ii was full of earnestness, seem
ing to come from the Eeart of the speak
er, whose father was gallant soldier and
officer in the 5th New Hampshire. The
veterans, after their return to their hall,
where they broke ranks, were unanimous
in their vote of thanks to the speaker, the
singers, the band and the other friends
who had helped them in the exercises of
the day.
