BETRAYAL OF TRUST.

From a strictly business point OF
view, in opening the gates of the
Worlds Fair and affording access as
well to the exhibits on Sunday, the
management have violated an obi
CATION and gone back on an arrange
ment with the congress of the United
States, from whom they received a
grant of two millions and a half on
condition that the exposition was
not to be open on Sunday. In thus
doing they have merited general con.
demnation; and the local clergyman
who said that the directors had, in
this breach of integrity, joined hands
with the anarchists, was not far out
of the way, so far as the principle OF
the ching is concerned-though
doubtless the management would
hardly agree with him to that ex-
tent.
The effort which the judiciary de-
partment is making to hold the fair
management to its part of this
straight business contract, or, fail
ing in this, to compel the return OF
the peoples money as penalty for
the violation of the agreement
should certainly succeed. To say
nothing at this time of the mora
principles involved, the action of thu
director is open to severe criticism al
a dishonorable business method.

THE NEW BEEF BUILDING.

In about ten days from date the new
ly-erected building on Eastern avenue,
adjoining the track will be in readiness
for the reception of Swift's Western beef,
hams and such other provisions as these
establishments carry This is the only
station of the Swift Company between
White River Junction and Newport, and
it is calculated to supply dealers within
radius of 20 or 25 miles. The building
is substantallooking affair, of wood,
and we'll adapted for its purpose-the
cold storage of meats pending their dis
posal to neighboring butchers. The
front portion of the structures in
terror is devoted to salesroom and
the Offices of the manager and book
keeper respectively. On the first floor,
back of the Office, is the refrigerator
room, 20x52 feet in dimensions, where
the meats will be kept. The walls Of the
building are foot thick and contain an
ample air space the windows OF the
refrigerator will contain four sash each,
small spaces intervening, to guard
against the approach of any warm air
from the outside which would initiate
against the proper keeping of the meats.
Directly above the refrigerator is the ice
chamber, with capacity of $50 tons
from which the cold air will pass to the
lower room, and it is expected that the
temperature in the refrigerator will thus
be kept within very few degrees of that
in the ice chamber. Doors on the east
side next the track afford opportunity
for the unloading of the goods as they
arrive from the West. Directly in from
of the ice chamber, on the second floor
is room which is to be used for genera
purposes. The building is shinged will
Oregon cedar, and the floors are laid il
Oregon fir; the interior is finished mainl,
in strictly clear spruce, A striking sigl
: surmounts the entire length of the build
ing, and the structure itself adds greatl
to the business look of that particula
locality. c. w. Barton was sent here b.
the Swift Company to oversee the eree
ton OF this station.

A NATURAL FATE,

The plant of the old Vermont
Sentry, formerly published at Swan
ton, but more lately at St. Adams,
and which was SO practically worth
less that it was abandoned by its
last owner, has just been sold to
satisfy mortgage. The Sentry
was originally established for the
alleged purpose of killing the ST..
Adams Messenger. Just how sue
cessfully the proposed assassination
has been carried out may be judged
by the above statement. There is a
tragic fate in store for most of these
journals that are established with
the intent ofannihilating some long
standing and all-round-reliable
newspaper.

A POPULIST FREAK.

The populist, as he has developed
in Kansas especially, is a unique
political creation, and he promises
to afford the nation a great deal Of
entertainment within the next few
years.
1t will be remembered that during
the miniature war between the
parties at the Kansas state capitol
last winter the populist governor
ordered the militia to attack and
dislodge the legally organized repub-
lican assembly. The militia declined
10 do so, and the governor and his
supporters flew into a rage, from
which, it seems, they have not yet
fully recovered. BY way of revenge
it is now proposed by the populist
administration to disband the

CIVIL SERVICE AT RUTLAND.

A very amusing sample OF civil SER
vice reform has developed at Rut-
land in connection with the removal
of Postmaster Field and the appoint
ment of DR.. Hanrahan. Mr.. Fields
term had not yet expired, and the
genuine essence OF reform, as a good
many people look at it, demanded
that he be allowed to serve out the
full incorporating, of course, no
charges of malfeasance in office
could be brought against him. This
is where the rub came, and it turns
out now, according to the Herald,
that the removal was FASTENED by
document signed by a letter carrier
declaring Mr.. Field to have made an
assessment on the employees of the
Office for political purposes. The
letter carrier in question, when pin
ned down to the facts, admitted that
he had never been asked to give for
political purposes, and that he signed
the document aforesaid without
knowing what he was signing.
If postmaster is to be ousted
simply because he has been found
guilty of being republican or a
democrat, as the case may be, let
the deed be done in straight, open,
manly fashion, without any pre-
tence at civil reform; but such snaky
wiggling round the political bush to
get an opposition office-holder out of
the way, as seems to have been in
dulged in at the brand-new city, is not
quite up to Hoyle's definition of civil
service reform, and not in consistent
keeping with the claims set forth by
the advocates of the so-called wind
ham county plan"

VERMONT MATTERS.

A large porcupine was shot in the
street in Berlin, just across the river
from Montpelier, the other day.
Rev. E. M. Smith has been elected
principal of the Vermont Methodist
Seminary at Montpelier, to succeed
E. A. Bishop, who resigned.
F. A. Atwood's house and grocery
store, and H. P. Hulett's three tene-
ment houses in Salisbury were burn
ed the other day.
H. SENEGAL was instantly killed on
Friday, at the quarry in Pittsford,
by the falling of block of marble.
The new Methodist church in
Middlebury was dedicated on Thurs
day last, and about $4,000 of a
$4,000 debt was wiped out on that
day.
Rutland had ten thousand dollar
fire on Sunday night, >when Brehmer
Bros, jeweler, and Miss M. Mulline,
miliner, had their stocks destroyed
and several other firms suffered from
water and smoke.
The recent failures at the West, and
a general feeling Of distrust in con-
sequence thereof, caused a run on the
Rutland savings bank last week,
The institution is very reliable one,
and the run was promptly taken
care of.

entire militia, which is accused of
being republican, and organize at
once military force in which only
men friendlyto the powers that be will
be allowed to enlist.
This is certainly peculiar move,
which we hardly believe will be at
tempted in all seriousness. Such
foolishness by a party in power i'll
any state could have but one result
the rather speedy annihilation OF
that party; for this is country
where that sort of thing does not
work for any length of time. The
Kansas populist appears to be a
decidedly revolutionary character;
he is dsgracing his state, and might
well be dispensed with.

Dartmouth College justly feels very
proud of the decisive victory won
by its athletes at the Worcester
meeting last week. The result was
even better than the Dartmouth
boys themselves had dared to hope,
as the team had in it good deal OF
new and untried material. But
some determined work was put into
the preparations for the contest,
and the outcome is gratifying to all
friends Of the college. Mr.. White
house, the trainer who has had the
athletes in hand for some time past,
did them excellent service, and the
students are quite disappointed that
he was overlooked by the trustees
in their selection of a director of
athletics.

The management of the Worlds
Fair seem destined to be in hot
water most of the time. The jury
system of awards, on which basis
many Of the foreign countries con-
scented to exhibit, has been aban-
doned, and seventeen nations have
withdrawn their exhibits from any
competition for awards. The Eng
lish papers have taken the matter
up, and use considerable sarcasm in
their comments on the management.

says; Altogether, the Worlds Fair
within a month has caused much
unpleasant friction. 1t cannot be
described as in any way a success"

AVOID SUNBURN.

Just at this season of the year the
SIM plavs havoc with delicate and
sensitive skins. To stay indoors dur
ing this lovely weather, when one has
opportunities for enjoying the air,
would be almost criminal, ane yet the
result of basking in the sunshine is to
some women positive torture.
The effect of the sunshine upon very
thin and transparent skin is in many
cases to cause it to peel off in flakes
Tn other instances the skin becomes
red in patches and burns violently.
Those whose skin is less sensitive ex-
perience little effect from the action
of the sun, the skin simply becoming
browner and darker in hue.
Upon some compilations the action
of the sun causes freckles to accumu-
late to an alarming degree. This is
due to the chemical decomposition OF
the iron deposit present in the secret
ING glands of the skin.
The skin is more likely to become
tanned, freckled or bronzed at the
seaside than in inland places Any
one suffering from serious skin affec-
tions should avoid the seaside, as the
salt air has an exceedingly irritant eff
feet upon the cuticle when in an I'M
healthy condition.

No Foreigners In America.

For over century no foreign organ
lied forces for war have marched IN New
York streets until the uniformed crews
of all nations paraded on the 2Sth OF
April through the streets OF the metrop
oils, cheered at every step on their way
bv admiring thousands. 1t was a spec
tacle to bring tears to the eyes, and
makes one confident of the coming Of the
golden age of fraternity. But the most
striking thing about this parade, as also
it was in the mustered crews on ship
board the preceding day, was that the
crews to us did not look like foreigners.
The simple reason of this was that there
was no nationality on display of which
we have not abundant types in this coun-
try with which we are perfectly famll-
lar. The tars who marched, whatever
their features or complexion, whatever
flag they carried, could find their own
kind among the ;td1niring throng that
cheered them.
Tt could not have seemed to them like
a march in q foreign country-rather as
if they were coming home. They sa1ut-
ed. to be sure, the American flag, they
were cheered by the American people,
yet under that flag are all the nations OF
the earth in the great republic. No new
people were created for our experiment.
Only a new spirit, we hope, came into
the world, which is strong enough to
transform all who come under its influ-
ence. Yes. it was a splendid parade,
and it was peculiarly American, because
it included the world. To us, we may
say, nothing is foreign. Dudley

Board Swimmers of the Sandwich Isia atie.
One of the most venturesome sports
practiced by any people is the surf
board swimming of the Sandwich is
lands.
Nearly every one has experienced the
delights of surf bathing, with its cxhil-
arating rush and battle with the tonic
waves This pleasure is keenly enjoyed
by the Hawaiians, who pursue it with
singular abandon.
The surf board is ii plank of light
wood 10 to IA feet long, with one end
rounded. The edges are also rounded,
but the other end of the board is left
square A piece of cloth is usually
bound around this end, perhaps for the
support of the foot while swimming, or
rather being projected like cannon ball
by the wave.
A crowd of natives will swim out,
towing their boards, diving under and
lodging the heavy rollers coming IN,
until they are quite q distance from
land. Every third wave is larger than
the others, and on the broad back of this
huge breaker the natives ride In like the
wind. Sometimes they stand erect on
the boards, but they usually crouch or
lie down. and keep balance with dex-
ferrous stroke of the foot or hand or by
swaying the body. This sport is not
without mishap, but the natives are such
water dogs that the accidents rarely
terminate fatally.
Captain Cook says that he saw with
horror one Of these surf boards dashed
into pieces but an instant after a man
had quilted it. To be compelled to
leave the board and dive back under the
wave is considered very disgraceful, and
besides the oiled, polished and highly
valued board, which has required a whole
tree trunk for its manufacture. is lost

LADIES' COLUMN.
ABOUT YOUR BOYS.

Treat your boys as though they
were of some Importance, if you
would have them manly and sell
reliant.
Be careful of the little courtesles.
You cannot expect your boy TO DC
respectful, thoughtful, and kind I'M
less YOU first set him the example.
If you would have your boy make
YOU his confidant, take an active IN
terest in all he does. Don't be too
critical, but ask for his views ana
opinions at all times.
Don't keep your boys in ignorance
of things they should know. Lit is
not the wholesome truth, but Uhe
unwholesome way in which 1t is ac-
quired that ruins many young man.
Don't act as if you thought your
boy amounted to nothing, nor be
continually making comparisons pc
tween him and some ne1ghbor's son
to his disadvantage: nothlng Will
dishearten him quicker.
Don't think that anything is good
enough for the boys, and that they
don't care for nice things. Have
their rooms fixed up as nicely as pos
sible. Let them understand the room
is to be kept in order, and the result
will justify your pains.
Furnish your boy with good, whole
some reading matter. Have him
read to you, and with you. Discuss
with him what you read, and draw
out his opinions and thoughts upon
the subjects. Help him to think ear
ly for himself.
Make home a pleasant place; see to
it that the boys don't have to go
somewhere else to secure proper
freedom and congenial companion
ship. Take time and pains to make
them feel comfortable and contented,
and they will not want to spend their
evenings away from home.
Pick your sons associates. See TO
it that he has no friends you know
not about. Take an interest in all his
troubles and pleasures, and have him
feel perfectly free to invite his
friends to the house. Take little
pains to make him and his friends
comfortable and happy. He will not
| be slow to appreciate it.

DONTvS FOR YOUNG MOTHERS.

Don't neglect the baby; the little
fellow has the first right to your at
tention.
Don't do everything for and with
him that yon are advised to do.
Don't neglect to have the little fell
lows clothing light, warm, loose and
free from pins.
Don't wake the baby to exhibit the
tints of his eyes to admiring friends;
sleep is his most unquestionable right.
Don't strain the baby's eyes by al
lowing strong lights to shine directly
into them, especially when he first
wakes.
Don't lay the child down with his
ears bent away from his head; the re-
suit will be deformity.
Don't try to prevent a teething
child from sucking his thumb; it helps
the work of dentition, and if the habit
is acquired it can easily be broken up
bv the application of some bitter tine
ture to the thumbs, two or three ap-
plications only being necessary.
Don't forget the baby's lungs need
plenty of pure, fresh air; but that
they are still delicate, and ought not
to be exposed to raw winds or sudden
changes.
