ing, travelling the entire Sabbath and reach
Ing Chicago Monday morning; and the same
plan to be followed on the return. On the
Sabbath out three or four hours were to be
spont at Niagara for dinner and sight-ses-
ing. Owing to my early instruction, my
public profession and my conscience, | was
obliged TO abandon oil thought of personal
pleasure and give up the trip. declined
tho invitation, briefly explaining my rea-
sons to a member of the executive commit
teee and expressing my regret that the plan
had been thus made.
In my Judgement, much greater import
ance attaches to this excursion than to many
or most others run on the Sabbath. Many
OF these are representative men, editors;
writer's who give tone and direction to pub
lie sentiment, who, IL they do not largely
make, are supposed to express the best SEN
timent of the communty-are or should be
conservators of the best in society and the
State.
The planning certainly was very unfor-
tunate 1t may have been thougbtfully
done, the idea being to gain time aud have
full week at the fair. This makes no diff
ference with the result, its Significance and
it's influence.
The State Of Vermontisa Christian State;
her people are religious people They be-
lieve in the sanctity of the Sabbath, and
would not have it a continental Sabbath,
given to pleasure and selfish interests. They
are opposed to the opening of the world 8
fair on the Sabbath Hundreds, II not
thousands of them, have demonstrated with
Congress against any national legislation
giving aid to the exhibition, IL it was to be
opened on the Sabbath.
In our ju lgment tho running time of the
T. a II should be changed and the good name
OF the editorial profession and the noble rep
utation Of the Stats be main tainsd in the
proper Observance of the fourth command
ment. While it might be incon venicnt we
have no doubt it would be possible to
make the change In any event. no one is
obliged to 90 then and by that train unless
willing to do so.
W hen the Grand Army encampmeut was
held in Washington, the edict went forth
that all comrades going from Vermont must
go by train leaving on Sunday. Some OF
the boys in this section didu't believe in
Sunday dissertation and entered protest
all honor to them. That protest was heed
ed and while the Sunday train ran aud
those who had no scrupes went with it, the
order was modified so that those who chose
could 60 on any other day with the same
privileges.
Ex-President Harrison has given to the
world noble example in this regard. When
last leaving Washington for his home in In
dianapoi, Saturday afternoon, he ran only
to Pittsburg, where his car was side racied
over tho Sabbath.

Ruby Perkins, the Bridgewatsr girl who
was mentioned last week as having lost her
scalp, continued to improve in general
symptoms all last week, and on Monday I'M
dsrwent a very uncommon operation. DR..
Pond of Rutland assisted by DR.. Francisco
of Rutland and Or. Boyden Of Brldgewatsr,
performed the operation o. skin grating,
which consisted first in thoroughly cleans
ing the skull and the muscles still adhering
to it; then the muscles and skull were
thoroughly scraped, and DR.. Pond made
about 30 punctures ia the bare bone, about
ons-eighth of an inch deep; then
the outside skin was shaved from
e portion of the limb of the patient and
placed carefully over the raw and bleeding
muscles Of the skull, and some pieces over
the punctures made In the bare bone. The
operation was not completed, as the pa
tient was TN Ter the influence OF ether for
nearly two hours aud it WAS deemed I'M
safe TO continue it long.r She will be
taken to Rutland in a uay or two when
the operation will be continued. DR.. Pond
Is confident of success. The operation is
known as the Tierce Method, and was first
practiced by French surgeon during the
French and Indian war.

Complaint is often made by fathers in the
city as well as the country that they can
not keep their boys at home in spite of
their utmost endeavor in this direction.
That this is too frequently the case is a sad
but evident fact, and it is one of the most
diff cult problems with which parents haye
to deal. The manner in which one father
reached a happy solution of this trying
question i, narrated by the Spring field
Homestead, which Investigated the case
with reference to iti bearing on the urban
movement to the cities.
The gentleman in question, a Mr. Moore,
purchased farm of fifteen acres near Bos-
ton, which was quite run out but he sue
cesded in keeping his boys interested in
market gardening, aud in four years he was
making net profit OF $4,000 annually from
this comparatively small bit of land. MIR.
Moore explains his success in interesting his
sons in the following significant and sug-
gestvs words
''My chief object and aim in life has been
to make myself valuable to my family, be-
lieving that IL father wants to seq his
children successful in life, he must be will
ling to devote himself to bis family. This
has been my highest happiness. My home
has been my saloon and grocery store. My
boyhood was passed in a community cursed
by intemporance; both men and women
smoked well as drank. l then made
up my mind that both were detriment-
al, and that IL parents desired correct
living in their children, they must set
the example. l have tried to make

Another Reader 7 lis of Difficulty In
Securing Money from Savings Institu-
tione.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
There are probably hundreds in this city
and vicinity who are glad that some ono
has had tho courage to "spOak out' on the
subject OF the management of the funds OF
the savings institutions of the State, and
more particularly OF this locality. Our peo-
pie ere afraid to speak lest they might in
cur this displeasure and disfavor of "these
few sef-mposed autocrats. - deposit
or's' experience ut an attempt to get loan
on GOOD real estate security ID only single
instance Of hundreds OF the sort. The
security demanded of the home market is
simply an outrage A good many Of these
instances have been called to my attention
such, for instance, as where a man want
ed to borrow $500 on a house which was
valued and sold for $1,000 within ihree
months of tho time OF application, and
savings bank refused the loan. In another
case they refused one-thrd the actual cost
on new house. Many such instances of
the Same kind might be cited, but it is not
necessary to mention others. The upshop
OF it oil is that if one wants a loan and can
furnish good security for about five times
what he wants, he can get il; If be can't,
he may go somewhere else than to a saw
ings bank.
Whenever one of our citizens gets APP
poin ted a. a director of a savings ihstitu-
ton he at once becomes convinced that he
has superhuman wisdom, and the opinion
OF the ordinary business man is something
to look upon with contempt.

this work. 1t says:
ut 10 not a matter In which the board of

est as its members may take as citizens. The
work has been done under its auspices In ac-
cordance with the law, and the funds at its
disposal have been SO husbanded that
small edition is possible without an appro-
priation. But the book is plainly an excel
lent advertisement Of New Hempshire's sum
mer boarding interests, ADD $4,000 copies

names of former visitors to New Hamp-
shire, one person to a family. This would
mean -, 600 copies on rs many drawing

States. The remaining 5000 would not
meet the demands from other interested
parties. 1t is a matter worthy of the care
full consideration Of the Legislature, even in
the hurry OF the closing days of the SEES

Nermont's board of agriculture has, like
that OF our neighboring State, done quite n
little tower l the work OF advertising this

money husbanded from the sum appro-
priated for its regular work by the Lsgsls
ture, and the State has already realIzsd
marked benefit from this service as we'll a,
from the efforts made by the railroads in
the same direction; but it will manifestly
not be good policy for our State to rely
upon what has already been dono in this ne
cessarly limited manner. Like the merchant
who has to compete with an energetic and
progressive rival, we must keep on adver-
Using or be outstripped in the struggle to
secure purchasers for our wares. Summer
visiting is something of fad and 1t ia man

The belief at Washington seems TO be that
the present session Of the Senate will come
to close before the end of the present
week. A committee of the Senate have been
endeavoriug to fiud out whether or not the
president expects to lay before that body
my business which will keep it in session
longer than this week, but at last accounts
they have not secured definite information
on this point. Mr.. Cleveland has boon con-
sidering the project of calling an extra ses-

To Secure Summer Boarders.

Vermont has made gratifying progress in
her efforts to secure summer visitors, and
there are encouraging indications that our
State Will receive largely increased share
OF attention from the travelling public the
approaching season. 1t should not be for
gotten, however that We are by no means
alone in the field, but that as matter Of
fact there is strong competition for patron
age from summer tourists.
New Hampshire had already secured a
considerable revenue from this source when
the Green Mountain State entered the field,
and since that time the good people of the
Granite State seem 20 Auve redoubled their
efforts in this direction. Some idea of what
Vermont has to contend against In the way

The School Question aud What tho
Father of the New Law Says


Father of the New Law Says
To the Editor OF the Free Press.
i wish to present the following criticism
OF Secretary Brownell's article on the new
school law.
1t cannot be true that the law makers in
tended to make any distinction between
real and personal property, because the
father of the bill says 1t did not occur to tho
committee that there would be a surplus left
in any OF the districts.
Again, no one disputes but that the furni-
turo, dictionaries, globes, charts, etc, 60
with the scho ohouses to the town districts,
and these are personal property just as much
as the wood and coal that are on the
premises
Mr.. Brownell does not claim that it is
I'm just for the towns to take the real prop
erty of the districts, all Of which must have
been paid for with money raised by taxa
ton, but somehow discovers that il would
be the ''grossest injustice TO take the sur
plus, although more than half Qf not ALI Of
that is public money.
1t is touching when he says that the sur
plus may have been raised for the purpose
of enlargiDg the grounds or buildings, but
it would not help the matter to give 1T to
the taxpayers; but il would be strong ar
gumsnt in favor OF the desired improve
mepts IL it goes to the town.
To redistribute a surplus to those from
who N 1t WAS collected would be impossible,
even If it was legal, equitable and just, as
claimed by MIR. Brownel. N. b,
