The Bancroft Company are progress ing we'll with their Book of The Fair.

ing well with their Book of The Fair, which is pronounced as the finest and most important publication connected with the great Exposition. In fact it has no rival; there are art works. aud works of descriptive history, and cata- logues, and directories, but there is no one publication which unites all in a complete and perfect historical and de- scriptiye work of art. Its text is by Hubert Howe Bancroft, and its pict- ures by the best artists America and Europe can produce.
 Next in importance to the Fair itself, is a faithful reproduction of the Fair in printers ink for permanent preservation. Most of the buildings will soon be torn down and their con- tents removed. but The Book will re- main. to teach and preach the worlds .completest civilization throughout all time. In this respect the representa- tion is better than the original, because one is effervescent. the other immor- tai. We have five numbers of this book which may be seen at our office.

Vermont Railroads.

The bill to incorporate the Bennington
an WOodfOrd Electric Railroad company,
now before the Legislature of Vermont,
names VIM. j. Turk, G. w. Crispell, G.
E. Keefe, John Robinson, Amos Aldrich,
G. H. Mason, d. A. Gorton and II. w.
Martin as incorpOrators. By its terms
the capital stock of the company may
consist of not more than 100000 and
not less than $4,000. The proposed line
is to run from some point in the village
of Bennington, eaSterly through Benning-
ton, WoOdford, Glastonbury, Dover,
Somerset, Searsburgh and Wilmington.
The Bennington and Woodford Construc-
ton and improvement company is also
asking for charter. The persons named
as incorporatOTs are w. J. Turk, c. W..
Crispell, c. E. Keefe, John Robinson. D..
A. Gorton, Amos Aldrich, l.. w. Win
chester and II. w. Martin. The capital
stock is placed at not over 100000 and
not less than $4,000. The purposes of
the company are to build electric rail
roads, telegraph and telephone
lines, hotels, cottages, barns and
other structures. There is also the ap-
plicatiOn for a charter by the Benning-
ton Electric railroad, which is to run
from Bennington to WalloOmsac via
North Bennington and which, by the
terms of the bill proposed, can extend its
lines to Pownal, Woodford and Shafts
bury. This latter road is being opposed
by the bennington and Rutland railroad
on account of the grade crossings it
would be necessary to have. The legal
representative of the Bennington and
Rutland, in hearing before the Legis-
lature, stated that there would necessar-
lily be seven of these crossings, but one
of the proposed incorporators states
that only two would be required, one
near the Soldiers home, the other prob
ably near the station at North Benning-
ton. There is also some opposition being
manifested among the village people,
their principal complaints being that the
proposed road would disfgure the streets
through which it should run, and that
foreign corporations would eventually
build the road.

Henry Irving and DR.. Bliss.

The man who makes 1.-THE tour of the
town" for the Hartford Comm, Post,
finds resemblance between Henry r.
wing and the Rev. Dr. Bliss of Burling-
ton. This is what he says:
1.-THE student of human nature-or
perhaps 1 should say the student of
ELECTROMAGNETIC find much to occu-
ply his time at the missionary council of
the Protestant Episcopal church, now in
session at Christ church. With over 40
bishops, perhaps 200 priests, and as
many laymen present, one is given an
opportunity of judging the features of
the brainiest men of the Episcopal
church. One of the most striking men
that came within my observation is the
Rev. j. Isham Bliss, D. d. His Tesem-
blance to the great English actor, Henry
Irving, is really marvellous. Put them
side by side on the stage, and l venture
to say that not even William Winter
could say which was Mr. Irving and
which DR.. Bliss"

Home for Fallen Women.

Burlington boasts of many chaitable
and humane institutions, but one of the
most worthy is the Home for Fallen
Women, which occupies one OF the finest
homesteads on Shelburne road, in the
southern outskirts of the city. The
Home for Friendless Women, as it is
known, was chartered by the Legislature
in 1890, but owing to the slowness with
which the necessary funds were secured
by subscription it was not until May lst
of last year that the Home was opened
for inmates.
Since the institution began operations
about twenty-three girls have been cared
for and reformed and 0efrended, the
highest number in the Home at any one
one time being eleven. The object is to
rescue young women from lives of
shame, to teach them a useful occupa-
ton and to restore them to their proper
place in the world. The Home has the
support of prominent people in all parts
of the State, Mrs. Frederick Billings of
Woodstock, widow of the late railroad
magnate, is president of the association,
which has charge of the institution, and
Mrs. NJ. E. Bell, widow of the late Rev.
NJ. p. Bell, a wellknown Methodist cler-
gyman. The trustees of the permanent
fund are Lawyer L. F. Wilbur of Jericho
and Ira Russell of Burlington. The
Home is supported entirely by voluntary
subscriptions and it evidently has a
career OF great usefulness and success in
store.-Burlington Correspondent.

A Wonderful conuueror.

No disease is more common among
the people than scrofula. Handed down
from generation to generation, it is
found in nearly every family, in some
form. 1t NAV make its appearance in
dreadful running sores, in swellings in
swellings in the neck or goitro, or IN
eruptions of varied forms. Attacking
the mucous membrane it may be known
as catarrh, or developing in the lungs it
may be, and often is the prime cause Of
consumption.
In whatever form scrofula may mani
fest itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla is its in
veterate foe and conqueror. This medi-
cine has such powerful Alternative and
utilizing effects upon the blood that
every trace of impurity is expelled, and
the blood is made pure, rich and healthy.

FRIDAY evening Mrs. Bessie Stevens
entertained her Sunday school class of
boys at her home on Main street. Harry
Hudson, in behalf of the class, presented
her with a beautiful Oxford, Teachers
Bible, one of the best with Mrs. Stevens
name in gilt on the outside, and the
names of all the class beautifully written
on the the inner page. The following
are the names of her class: Edwin f.
Sibley, Harry P. Hudson, Frederick Hol-
lister, Arthur Torrey, j. Harbour, Mort.
Townsend, Claud Walsh, George Hough-
ton, Henry Kennon. AS Mrs. Stevens
stood in the door to bid them good night
they formed half circle around her and
gave three such hearty, happy, boyish
cheers as seldom greets the ear.
HARRY CALEF, mind reader stop
ping in town, proposed to allow com
mittee to hide an article somewhere, I'M
known to him or anyone else except
themselves, and promised to drive span
of spirited horses, while blindfolded, to
the place and find the article. This was
done. The start was made from the Put
nam House, in the midst of a large con-
course of people. Mr.. Calef was alone
on the drivers seat and the four com
mitteemen occupied the body of the car
riage. The committee was: F. NJ. Craw-
ford, e, S. Harris, DIR. II. j. Potter, Jr.,
and j. II. Livingston. The drive
through the crowded streets was quite a
sight, and as he turned into School
street, at the Second Congregational
church, a blockade was avoided just the
same as though the drivers eyes had
not been bandaged. Mr.. Harris did not
know where the article was hid, the
other three having performed that part
of the duty. We do not pretend to ex-
plain this matter, but lady did the
same feat in HoosiCk Falls, N. Y, re-
Gently, and we now and then hear of
such an one. The Opera House notice
in another column tells when our local
readers can see Mr.. Calef again in his art.

Foot Ball.

The rooms of the Y. M. G. A. are the
scenes of activity now. The Y. M. G. A.
foot ball team meets every night for
their train" Eleven men in the gym"
pratiCing earnestly the best movements
to Guido any opposing team, make bust
ness alive. The team, as it is now COM
posed, consists of eleven good men and
substitute, Interest is at its height.
No urging is necessary. The captain has
only to issue the call and the men re-
spond. A foot ball organization has
been effected with Frank E. Battles,
captain, and A. J. Holden, manager.
A committee of three, consisting of
the captain, Frank Battles, VIM. Toom-
ey and Robert Squire has been appointed
to select men for the team and place
them. The positions to be played Satur-
day will be as follows: Right half, A.
H. Cushman; left half, Arthur Davis;
full back, G. J. Hoyt; left end, F. E. Bat
ties; right end, Fred Hartman; left tackle,
Robert N. Squire; right tackle, Joe Dro-
bat; left guard, Clarence Slack; right
guard, VIM. Toomey; centre, Chas.
Kroning; substitute, Burt Elliott.
Interest on the part of of the citizens
is solicited. No athletics of any kind
has relieved Bennington of quietness for
long time. The presence of people at
the game to give support is urged. The
Home team guarantee fare and one meal.
Good athletics bring men into the As
sociation where influence is the best.
The cry of some prominent citizens for
sport is now being realized. Give your
support to the game so that others may
be secured. OBSERVER.

Written for the BANNER.
From Mount ANTHONY.

Majestic mount, what nobler theme
Can wake to life poets dream,
Or poets thought or verse inspire
With passionate poetic fire,
Than from thy top to view
The beautious landscape spread beneath.
The varied change from hill to heath.
The groves that dot the landscape Ger,
The belts Of green that line each shore,
The water glimmeTing through
Where old Walloomsac wends her way
AS she has done for many day.
Mile after mile the eye may roam
Till the blue distance meets the dome
OF the o'er-vaultiDg sky,
And from thy base to farthest bound
OF the horizon all around
A thousand beauties lie:
Now hill. now dale, now level strand,
Now rock, now rill, now mountain grand
Diversity the scene.
A hundred little hamlets rest
Like lilies on lakeleL's breast,
With scattered homes between.
From every valley far and near
Faint sounds of industry Ihear
Float on the summer air.
The pairter's art however kind
Could never half thy beauties find,
So on the canvass of my mind
I'll paint the picture there. "

Three Wants,

REASONS whole pleasure, all the joys
of sense.
Live in three words, health, peace, and
competence" SO says the poet. Com
petence counts for little when one is sick
and peace is disturbed when health is
upset, so that the poet rightly places
health first. To have good health you
must have pure blood. From the BLOOD
the system receives all its material of
growth and repair. The best blood-pu-
rifer is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, which is world-famed and sold
everywhere. 1t is sovereign remedy
for all diseases due to impoverished or
impure blood, as consumption, bron-
chitis, weak lungs, scrofula, old sores,
skin diseases, and kindred ailments.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.

The Postmaster of Philadelphia Endorses
the Postmaster-Generaps recommendation
of a direct Congressional appropriation
for the ten largest postoffices in the United
States. In circular letter he says that
the Philadelphia pustoffice is the dis
tributing point for the mail of twelve
States. including Pennsylvania. Ohio,
Illinois, New jersey and several of the
northern tier of Southern States. One
thing complained OF is that while the Post
master is under S350.000 bonds he cam OF
buy the smallest necessity without the
consent of the Postmaster General. There
Is so much red tape in active use in that
department that two Or three months will
sometimes elapse before an order to pur-
chase little things of daily use is received.
Probably the embarrassments that would
naturally arise from this method of doing
business are partially evaded by an as
sumption of responsibility to purchase the
