Walton's Vermont Register for 1894
Is on sale little earlier than usual.
1t is printed on cheaper but heavier
grade of paper than before, and this,
with the large amount of advertising,
makes the book much thicker. Ad-
vertisements appear on every page and
the usual care has been taken in cor
recting the book up to date,a a glance
at the directory of Randolph proves.
One doctor who has been here for
wears is left out entirelv-Dr. Morris:
one is located here who has not been a
resident for some time; livery stable
is located here that has not been in ex-
istence for long time; likewise ho-
tel; the bakery is omitted altogether;
A. A. Storrs' creamery is located in
town instead of in East Bethel, etc.
These inaccuracies are apparent at a
glance. If the same holds good
throughout the State, we are sorry.
There ought to be q good, reliable
work of this kind issued every year in
this State, and there isno question but
that it would pay,as the present work,
we understand, is a financial success,

Volume |. OF the two. volume edition oi
the Funk q Wagnalls Standard Diction-
airy OF the English language II be issued
on December 10th. This volume has been
four years in making; two hundred and
thirty weight editors and specialists have
been employed upon it; and the cash out
lay has been about half million dollars.
The advance orders for the work mount
up into the tens of thousands.
The Standard dictionary was granted an
award at the Worlds Columbia Fair.
The Dictionary exhibit consisted OF a
number OF proof sheets, as the work was
only part in type-this fact makes the
award more significant. The award OF
diploma and medal is the only class oil
awards granted. A gentleman who was
present during the examination informs
the publishers that the judges devoted
nearly three hours to critical inspection
OF the sheets (it was very unusual thing
to devote SO much time to the examina-
tion OF any exhibit), comparing the def
nitions with those OF other dictionaries,
and that they frequently expressed them
selves as highly pleased and in favor OF
the features of the Standard. At the close
of the examination, one OF the judges re-
marked: 81 have the best OF other dletlon-
aries, but this work has desirable features
that others have not. must possess
copy when il is published"
The vocabulary of the Standard is ex-
traordinarily rich and fun, that of no
other dictionary equalling it, although
great care VAS taken to throw out all use
less words. The following is an actual
count Of words and phrases recorded un-
der the letter A:

Inc squaDDle over tne W llson tarlIi
bill was still going OH when Congress
adjourned. Mr.. Reed has submitted
to the House the minority report, and
his criticism finds in the bill an un-
authorized tariff tinkering, with all
the faults charged against protection
and none of its merits. Every day we
hear of mills and manufactures clos
ing on account of this new tariff If
the Democrats are going to give us a
tariff for revenue only, why don't they
do so, as they promised in their Chi
cago platform. Is it wise, is it states
manlike, in the present depressed and
exhausted state of trade, to try any
experiments with it? If the protec-
tive tariff is, as we have been taught,
the ''crowning atrocity of class legis-
lation,' let us abolish it at once and
frame tariff for revenue only, with
out regard to the wishes of 1nanufac-
turers; but il it is not, for Heavens
sake stop tinkeripg with the tariff and
let well enough alone. The truth of
the matter is, the Democratic party is
the party of good intentions, never
accomplished. Its policy is nothing,
its creed is unknown, its promises are
only made to be broken. The people
are beginning to discover this fact.and
their discovery is finding expression
as fast as elections come.

dear for it. Dennis Sullivan of White

The people in every community
have right to be protected against
contagious diseases under the laws OF
this State, and it is the duty of the
health officers TO see that these laws
are obeyed. The courts will back up
the latter every time. The time has
past when, TO avoid a little personal

BETTER LATE THAN NEvER.-It is
not an uncommon thing to hear young
men complain than their early school
ing was deficient in quantity, poor in
quality, or-if neither of these-was
wasted through boyish indifference and
folly. They would get on better in life
if they knew more, they arc free to ad-
nit but they do not see that they are
daily wasting opportunities which, If
improved, would in q few years give
them fairly good education. They
think themselves too old to learn, and
spend more time regretting their lack
of knowledge than would suffice to give
them the knowledge they need. 1t IS
said that the father of Professor Sum-
ner, of Yale College, could neither write
nor read when he came to this country,
Young mechanic. Within twenty
wears thereafter he was known as one
of the best read men in Hartford, one
of the most cultivated communities in
the country. Instead Of wasting his
time in idle regrets for his deficient
schooling, he learned to read, and read
to good purpose. In q similar way
many of the best, most honored and
most successful men our country has
known have begun their acquaintance
with letters after reaching manhood;
and there is no reason why the most
illiterate mechanic in our land, if pos
sessed Of natural ability and sincere
purpose, may not increase his enjoy
ment in life, his opportunities for i'm
proving his social and financial condi-
ton, and the chances OF his family Tor
the highest success in life, by an honest
effort to retrieve by study the disad-
vantages by which early poverty, or
lack Of educational opportunities has
surrounded him.-Scientifc -dmertcda

Fought i'm the Synagogue.

The story of lively fight in a syn
agogue was made public in the Even
street police court, Williamsburg, n.
y, Wednesday, when Samuel Blumen-
berg. of No. 50 Moore street, swore out
warrants for the arrest of Simon Danto.
president of the congregation Asfar
israel. the temple of which is in Naret
street. near Broadway, Williamsburg,
end for Aaron Schoenberg, Joseph Ro-
scnberg and Jacob Frciberg, members
of the congregation.
The sccused say that Blumenberg in
tcrrupted them while they were pray
ing in the temple on Tuesday night
and attempted to drive them out.
President Danto is lying dangerously
i'll at his home No. 1,716 Fulton street,
suffering from the effects of the fracas.
The trouble arose over an election in
which Dauto was reelected president
of Tie congregation. Blumenberg led
the opposition. Danto and some of his
friends assembled in the synagogue on
Tuesday night to pray. While they
were proceeding with their devotions,
they say, Blumenberg entered and
cried =
I've got you now. III clear you all
out
Just what followed it is hard to dis
cover. Aaron Schoenberg was knock
ed senseless to the floor and President
Danto ran to his assistance, but he too
was thrown to the floor senseless. Ro-
senberg took a chair and Freiberg q
foot stool, and they made united at
tack on Blumenberg. They forced him
into corner and pounded him until he
fell. lie was not easily subdued. He
dragged Rosenberg down, seized his
chair and beat Freiberg on the head
with it. Rosenberg, as he lay on the
floor, hurled foot stool at Blumen-
berg, hitting him on the neck and
knocking all desire to fight out of him.
Blumenberg then staggered from the
synagogue. President Danto and Scho-
enberg were still unconscious.
The latter was soon revived. The
president was placed on the altar and
DR.. Loria was summoned. He worked
over the man for two hours before he
could restore him to consciousness.
Then the president was take home in
coach.
When I called at President Danto's
house Wednesday was told that he
was critically i'll and his doctor had di-
rected that he must not be disturbed.
He was suffering from conclusion of
the brain and was in semi-comatose
condition.
Blumenberg admits that he caught
the president by the throat and spat in
his face He said: :
81 had right to go to the syna-
gogue, and when these men tried to
put me out l resisted. They came at
me with chairs, and 1 had to defend
myself. They found that / was q
match for them all.
Schoenberg, Rosenberg and Freiberg
will make counter charge against
Blumenberg.-N. J. Herald
