COMPOSING POPULAR SONGS.
a New Version of the Way They Were
Written.

A celebrated composer once lost his
way in dense forest, when he found
himself on Il path leading to what
seemed a large edilice in the distance.
Meeting a person on the path he in
quired his way. but the man made no
response, says the SoUthr0n. Meeting
another the same proceeding took
place, and also with six others that he
met. He was at a loss to account for
this. until he came to the building,
where he read the sign. ASYLUM for
Deaf Mutes." This explained it all,
and he at once sat down and wrote
"We Never Speai, as We Pass By"
Beethoven was once met in a heavy
shower by friend who was unpro.
vided for the elements. Lend me
your umbrella" sighed the latter.
The great master at once composed
the song wait Till the Clouds Roll

dent Hayes was soon to marry the widow
of W. u. Bigelcw, who owns the old Hayes
place at West Brattleboro. is not credited
by the cousins of the ex.president, among
whom are the DsWitts of Brsttleboro and
Newfane, aud who were quite intimate
with deceased and would be likely to know
the facts. Gen. Hayes spent several days at
Wilmington last summer rs guest OF the

for more lengthy stay in that town next
summer.

Gov. IInapD on Alaska.

Residents OF Vermont have had a new in
terest in Alaska, the most northern terri
tory Of the United States, since the ap-
pointment of Hon. Lyman L. Knapp OF
Middlebury as governor, and some OF TIE
facts concerning that far off land and its
people, as shown by his report will be &C
ceptable TO our readers. The entire popu-
lation OF the Territory was at the last cen
sus only 81, 1876, and less than 1000 of this
was white, so that it will probably DO some
time before We have Alaska asking for
Statehood. The value Of Alaska consists
of its seal rookeries, leased by the North
American Commercial company, the psltries
brought in by the hunters OF the Alaska
Commercial company and by natives in
exchange for goods, the oanneriss Of
salmon, cod and halibut, and the mines,
or rather ''placers, where gold ia
found in the wash of the river, only one or
two attempts having as yet been made at
quartz mining. The total exports from all
these sources amounted last year to 81, 1859, =
064. The most costly furs after those Of
the seal are those OF the sea otter, marten,
silver, white and red foxes, mink and bear
skins. These, with few other skins, were
of an aggregate value of $34S, 99l. As
against 81, 100, 0G4 of exports, the imports
of merchandise and machinery only
amounted to 81, 1914, 23S.
The government has provided for the de-
livery of mails at the principal settlements,
but it is irregular, and generally the ratio OF
delivery is about one mail a month. There
-.
eighty trading stations extending along the
coast, nearly all of which are under the
control of few corporations.
Trade Of this sort can flourish in IA way.
but it is plain that Alaska will never be
como an agricultural territory. The cereals
will not ripen there, the grass cannot be
dried into hay, and only potatoes and tur-
nips can be grown in few specially favor
ed spots.
The government has established school.
at different points for the education OF In
dian children, which seems to be making
some progress, and courts for the trial o.
civil and criminal cases have also been es
tablished But the social order of the Ter
ritory is anything but desirable. The gov
ernor makes as good showing as possible
in his report, but the truth appears to b,
that the people OF the Territory are giver
to lawessness and drunkenness to dis
couraging degree.
Gov. Knapp recommends the following
changes among others;
A thorough and complete revision Of tn,
laws should DO made, adapting them to ia,
peculiar needs of this peculiar country.
Powers should be conferred by law upon tn

ENFORCING THE TAX LAW.

Commissioner j. l.. Martin Notifying
Corporations That 1hsy Must Pay IA
License.
Tax Commissioner Martin of Brattleboro
is looking closely after the enforcement OF
the law providing for the payment by cor
porations of a franchise tax. He ia send
ing notices to all corporations in the State
and II the tax is not paid, the charter of
the delinquent corporations can be annulled
Section 20 of No. 3, session laws of 1890,
reads as foloNs
EVERY corporation organized under the
laws of this State and having "A capital
stock or deposits OF $50, 900, or less, shall bc,
aud hereby is, assessed an annual license tax
of $40; and for each $50. 600 or fractional
part thereof of capital stock or deposits in
excess of $50, 600, So. But no tax shall ex-
coed $50. Said tax SHALL DO paid to the
State treasurer annually in the month of
February. Provided, however, that cor
porations organized for charitable, literary
or religious purposes shall be exempt from
takes imposed by this section.
A strict enforcement Of the law, which is
but just in its demands upon corporations
for privileges granted them by the State,
will materially aid in the collection of funds
necessary to meet the expenses OF the State
government.

Rapid Transit in n Great City

The effort to solve the problem OF rapid
transit in New York city seems to be as far
from satisfactory solution as ever, so far
as Aew projects are concerned, and the pres
ont Indications are that the city will be
obliged to rely on an extension Of the Gle
waited railways almost entirely. The rapid
transit commissioners, having failed to Sc
cure satisfactory bids for the franchise for
an underground electric railroad running
the entire length OF the city, have made
formal expression of opinion In favor of the
extension of the present elevated railroad
system. They present reasons why the
Manhattan system should be extend
ed, instead OF new company
created, and they name some of the
restr lotions which they would have imposed
upon the Manhattan company. One OF
these Is five cent fare for the entire length
Of the extended system. Another is the
payment to the city of a stated annual sum
for the privileges granted.
One great advantage Of the adoption of
of this plan is that it would give the city of
New York improved rapid transit much
sooner than it could be obtained by tho con-
structon OF an entire new system. The
commissioners do not outline the extensions
which they would consider necessary,
but the understanding, it is said, will prob
ably be that the system shall be SO extended
within a reasonable time as to transport
passengers between tho Battery and the
northern limits of the city on both the east
and west sides, and that tho Elevated Rail
road company shall pay the market price
for additional privileges, that is, the fran
chises for extension shall be sold at public
auction.
Electric railways seem to be making moro
progress in the smaller cities than in the
larger ones, judging from New Yorks ex-
perience, although Boston and some other
| cities have had tue trolley system for some

EOMUNDS' PET SCHEME.
His Sue VIII Take steps Toward a
Great National Universally.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Senator Proctor
Of Vermont will introduce into the Senate
within the next fow days bill looking to
the foundation OF a great national univer-
sity here in Washington.
1t will be remembered that this was one
OF tho schemes of his predecessor, Senator
Edmuuds, but that the matter never got
into such shape as would meet the views of
Congress.
The present bill is understood to be de
cidedly practical aud has many good points
that will comment it the support OF every
Congressman.
The Trainer of the measure is ex-Gov
John W. Hoyt, an experienced educator
and formerly governor Of Wyoming. Mr..
Hoyt represented tho American universe
ties at tho university celebrations in the
old world and is quite familiar with institu-
tons OF learning on the continent
He believes that there is no other place In
the world that has so many promising posi-
hilities and advantages as Washington. In
deed he thinks that university establish
ed hero has the promise of parity, if not
primacy, among American educational in
situations.
The present bill is unique in several par
ticulars, especially in that it provides for
the government issuing $40, 600, 600 worth
OF bonds at per cent interest, these bonds
| to be turned over to the new institution,
and the 81, 900, 600 thus provided yearly to
be fund for getting the best professor in
the land.
In this way the museums, the Smith
sonian institute aud other national iustitu-
tions here can be brought into close rela-
tons with tho proposed university.
That the scheme is feasible and practical
BILE is shown by the facts that the Metho-
dsts and Catholics have started the founda-
tons Of what they propose shall be the
largest UNCONVENTIONAL universities in the
United States.
