FITCHBURG R. R. MATTERS.

The North Adams Valley News SAYS !:
RumOrs have been quite prevalent of
late to the effect that the Fitchburg rail
road was wanted by some of the great
consolidated lines. The statement has
had the support of the steady increase
In the price of stock during the recent
panic and general decline in price of that
class of securities. 1t is stated that the
Boston and Maine is anxious to gobble
II up and also that the New York Cen
trial is looking covetous eyes upon the
control OF this property. Just what eff
feet the transfer would have upon the
business interest along the line of the
road it is hard to say, but it is safe to
predict that they would not be benefited
by the change. AS a rule the business
men look with disfavor upon a CONSOLE
dalton, and on Wednesday petition was
presented to the general court headed by
James w. Bullock and BENJAMIN Il.
Bridges of Williamstown, asking for leg
islation to prevent the Fitchburg from
being absorbed. The petition sets forth !:
THAT the Fitchburg Railroad Com
pany is corporation in which the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts has a LARGE
interest, both as the owner of $4,000
shares OF the capital stock of said com
pany and for other public reasons; that
it is for the interests of said common
wealth, and of the city of Boston, that
said stock should be managed and CON
trolled with view to prevent the merg-
ing or consolidation of said FitchbuTg
railroad with any parallel or competing
line, or its control by any such line, and
to maintain the line of said company,s
road permanently as an independent
railroad line from Boston to points in
New York State, wherefore your peti-
TONERS pray that Legislation may be had
providing that the Governor Lieutenant
Governor and the Chairman of the Board
of Railroad Commissioners. or some
other responsible authorities, shall here.
after be charged with the management
or control, or the sale of said stock as the
best interests of the people of the Com
monwealth may require for the purposes
aforesaid"
Frederick w. Stickney of Lowell, and
II. G. Porter of Arlington also signed the
petition. 1t was supported by another
with some thirty signers, among whom
were f. j. StimsOn and Moses Williams.
the president of the Third National bank
of Boston. They recited the other peti-
ton as offered, with a view to prevent
any merging or consolidation of said
railroads with parallel or competing roads
or any pro-rata or differential or sched-
ule of freight and passenger rates which
shall give any advantage to shippers

SHE PROVES 1T.

AND THE PROOF Is JUST WHAT OUR
READERS WANT. OF now IT BEGAN
SHE HASN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA.
BUT CONCERNING ITS ENDING SHE Is
EXPLICIT AND EXACT.
We never know just how a thing be-
gins.
But we are always certain of the re-
suits which are left.
These reflections were called out by the
fact that il is SO easy to drift into any
thing. In this world we must keep our
eyes about us or we shall constantly find
ourselves drifting into trouble.
We call to mind an instance in which a
most estimable lady unconsciously and
without knowing when or how, allowed
herself to drl into what became to her
a most serious matter and caused many
years of anxiety and suffering.
This lady is widely known-Mrs. Mary
Jane Foster of 327 West Dist. Street, New
York City, and what size says are true
and exact facts, as can be easily and
readily ascertained by any one. If ex-
perience is of any use, hers is certainly a
revelation to be heedel 10y all.
Without knowing their meaning she
had dull feeling head, headaches, dizzi-
ness, bad taste in the mouth, especially
mornings. Her sleep was broken and
she would wake mornings feeling tired
and exhausted After time the APP
petite became irregular, there was full
ness or bloated feeling after meals, ris-
ing of gas, sour stomach, biliousness and
constipation,-such symptoms, in fact
as people frequently experience during
the spring of the year.
The Bennington banner. [volume] (Bennington, Vt.) 1858-1894, 1893-03-17

"Why," she SAID, for years after
suffered from the worst form of dyspep-
STA, with gas and fermentation of food and
terrible spaSmS that seemed to start at
the stomach and rise to the head.
Even the lightest food caused great
pain and S ress after eating, and also
suffered with great exhaustion, dizziness
of the head; and weakness of the limbs
so that could scarcely stand on my feet.
But l am now completely cured bv
the use of DR.. Greenes Nervura blood
and nerve remedy, and | take pleasure
in giving my experience to the public in
in order that other sufferers may be
cured as have been.
Look out for such troubles in the be-
ginning Now, in the spring, when
everybody is certain to be more or lees
out of order and needs a spring medicine,
take DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy Immediately, for it is the
best and surest of all spring medicines.
1t will invigorate the blood, strengthen
the nerves and give you perfect digestion
and regular action of the liver, kidneys
and bowels. All druggists keep it for
SlOO, and it is purely vegetable and
harmless.
1t is the great remedy recommended
by doctors for spring debility and dis
eases because it is the discovery and pre-
scription of the well-known physician I:
DIR. Greene of 81 Temple Place, Boston,
Mass, the successful specialist in cur
ing nervous and chronic diseases. The
doctor can be consulted without charge
by any one, either at his office or by
writing to him.

THE SCHOOL LAW DISCUSSED.

The school directors of Windham
County held convention at Brattleboro
Monday, and their discussions will in
terest Others. II. d. Ryder of Bellows
Falls presided, and c. MRussell of Will
mington was secretary. State SupeIin-
tendent NJ. S. Stone spoke of the crude
ness of the laws and advised the direc-
tors to proceed cautiously.
Judge Wheeler of the United States
COui advised delay on the subject of the
distribution of the school money, until
the matter was better understood. A
general discussion took place and there
was a general agreement that there
should be policy of cooperation on
the part of the directors. The law is SO
ambiguous, owing to the failure of the
Legislature to pass bill governing the
distribution of the public money, that
there seems to be general disagree
meny as to course of action. The new
law, inaugurate the town system, goes in
effect April LIST. and the law requires
that the money shall be distributed on
the oath of the present month.
The districts have no functions under
the new law, still the matter of the dis
tribution of the money is left to them
under the old law, which stands in con-
fiict with the new law.

ELDER EYANS,S DEATH.

Elder Frederick w. Evans, one of the
Oldest Shakers in the United States, died
at New Lebanon, Columbia county, NY.
last week. He was born in England in
1903, and spent his boyhood on a farm
near Worcester. How he secured his
education is told by himself as follows
MY maps were the landscapes of hills
and valleys; my books, trees and plants

ers and mistresses. L graduated and
emigrated to America in 1920. Then |
taught myself how to read and began to

the social and governmental organiza-
tons of mankind, until became a ma
terialist, socialist, a land reformer and
an infidel to all the popular church and
state religions of Christendom." Upon
arriving at New York he was apprentfced
to halter by his father. Afterward he
made a trip on foOt through the West
and went down the Mississippi to its
mouth, returning to England. In 1880,
having again come to the United State s
he joined the Shaker community at New
Lebanon and in 1888 he was made elder
of the North family, one of the families
into which the community is divided.
and twenty years later he became first
elder of three of the families. Elder
Evans was one of the foremost membe s
of the Shakers. He invented methods
of heating the rooms of the house in
which the Shakers dwell. He has lee.
tured frequently and has been a contrib
utor to seventy different publications.
His teachings have modified considerably
the dogmas of the Shaker sect. From
1873 to 1875 he edited and published,

AN ESTIMATE OF CONGRESSMAN
POWERS

Hon. H. H. Powers, the member of
Congress from the first district of Yer
mont, is one of the most genial as well
as best-informed men ever elected to rep
resent the Green Mountain State. He is
typical Vermonter, a gentleman of the
old school, and has the welfare of his
State always at heart. His experience
of 10 years as judge of the Supreme
Court of the State and a member of both
houses of the Legislature has given him
a more thorough knowledge of human
nature than is often obtained, and his re-
markable memory makes him very en-
tertaining Vermonters are proud of him.
The speaker of the House seems to have
appreciated his worth by putting him
on two of the most important investi-
eating committees of the session.
He has accepted an Invitation to lee
ture before the society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution on reminis-
cences of Vermont in revolutionary times
and it is looked forward to with much
pleasure by the members and their

ROAD BUILDING.


Contributing to the general infOrma-
ton relating to repairing country roads,
now a prominent topic of discussion in
Vermont, we copy a paragraph from
Harper's W eekly as follows:
The proper time to begin work or re-
pairs is in the early spring, just after the
frost comes out of the ground, as soen as
the roads have thoroughly settled and
dried out. Where the road is old, with
a good solid bed, the first thing to be
done IS to cover it all over with a light
dressing of gravelly material, and when
possible finish it off with top coating
of hard. pan; but avoid putting it on too
thlckly, lest the going become heavy, as
it is slow to dry. Loan is worse than
useless, because it never packs properly,
and makes mud. Care must be taken to
raise the road up toward the center, and
give it a slight elevation at the crown,
but only just enough to shed the water
on either side into the cutters. On a
level, straight road the crown should on
ly be slightly convex, for rounding up a
narrow road in the middle is objectiOna-
BILE, insOmuch as it has the immediate
effect of forcing wheels of vehicles to
run always in the same line and wear
away OilO hCW luJO ueeD RUS
that quickly become warehouses; for the
wash of the next rain, and assist the
rapid destruction of the road by prevent
ing the water from reaching the cutters.
AS fast as the new material can be laid
on, it should be very carefully raked
over to remove all the large stones and
as many of the smaller ones as possible;
for where this precaution is neglected
until the stuff packs down hard. which
happens in few days. the stones become
so firmly embedded that they are not
only difficult to remove, but soon cause
the road to wear in humps and bumps,
and later in the season, during the dry
weather, they work up continually and
become source of annoyance and dan
ger. These stones should never be left
in piles along the roadside, to be driven
into, or scattered about by mischievous
boys or stray cattle, but carted imme-
diately away and dumped out of sight
The cutters should then be carefully
cleaned by removing from them all de-
posts of mud, decayed leaves, or branches
which have collected there during the
winter months; never allow this stuff to
be heedlessly thrown along the edges of
the cutters or on the banks above them,
for the first rains will surely wash ali
back to its old place, and the work has
to be done oyer again. 1t is even worse
to spread it cut on the road, according to
the common but mistaken practice of
many road-masters, since decayed mate
rial can never pack properly, and always
tends to make mud in wet and dust in
dry weather.

with Antoinette Doolittle, publication
entitled 1.-THE Shaker and the Shaker

ton. Among the works of Elder Evans
are the followings: Compendium of
Principles, Rules, Doctrines and Govern
ment of Shakers, with Biographies of
Ann Lee and Others" (New York, 1850 (;

ious Communism" a lecture delivered

Second Appearing of Christ QS73),
The deceased was we'll known to many
of eur readers. Bennington people have
in days past, gone down to Lebanon
Springs to attend Shaker services. The
figure of Elder Evans was always a
monument one ON those occasions.

COMPLIMENTARY WORDS.

Among the book notices the publish
ers are receiving, the following from the
New York Herald of March 18th, is some,
what personal to the editor of the BAN
NER as follows:
History of the Ancient and Honorable
Fraternity of Free and Accepted Ma.
sons and Concordant ORDERS" Illus.
trated. Written by Board of Editors.
Henry Leonard Stillson, editor-in-chief
William James Hughan, European ed
itor. From the Fraternity Publishing
Company, Boston.
This is the most important work issued
in the interests of Freemasonry for many
years. 1t is an enormous volume of nine
hundred pages, and represents stupen
dous amount of patient work on the PAL I
of the Board of Editors.
1t was rather a unique idea to have
twenty-One editors, each of whom repre-
sents the order in his section of the
globe. That is to say, there were TWEEN
ty-one experts, gentlemen occupying high
positions in FreemasOnry, and therefore
enjoying an unusual vantage ground for
observation, and these have made the
book. 1t is magnificent achievement
and quite worthy of the enterprsing
house from which the volume is issued.
We have turned the pages with increas-
ing interest and notice the fact that it is
complete compendium, furnishing all
possible information on all possible
branches of the subject. In Part l. you
are treated to very able presentation of
ancient Masonry; in Part III. you have
a history of Lodge, Council and
Chapter Masonry; in Part III. is dis
course on the chivalric degrees, while in
Parts ". and V. the editors supply you
with an interesting account of the Scot
fish Rites and the miscellaneous rites and
orders, together with important Masonic
statistics.
. To the members of this mysterious or
ganization the volume will be simply in
valuable for purposes of reference. 1t is
quite an encyclopedia, and in looking
over the index you are placed in imme-
date rapport with any portion of the
general subject which happens to have
attracted your attention.
