4 PROMISING INDUSTRY.

The special meeting OF the Board
of Trade on Thursday evening last
was called to hear some statements
concerning the Carpenter Lathe &
Tool Company, with a view, If
thought advisable, to bring about
an increase in the company's capital
stock and the enlargement of its
operations under the encouragement
of ST. Johnsbury capital.
John H. Carpenter and his brother
William were present and had on
exhibition several samples of the
lathes and forge made by this COM
pany. Mr.. Carpenter made a frank
and explicit statement of the business
done, and the disa which
the company contended against by
reason of limited capital. He show
ed conclusively that there was a
demand for the lathes and tools
made by them, and orders had been
received from many parts OF this
country and Europe. He had no
doubt that with enlarged facilities
the business could be made profita-
bic, and he gave statistics concerning
the cost of manufacture and the
prices received for the goods. The
proposition he made was that the
$4,000 ca pital already invested by
the Carpenters and the Massachu-
sets stockholders be met by So
900 more furnished by St. Johns
bury men-the lathes and FORCES be-
ing made, and the business entirely
carried on, at this place. This
would ensure the moneys being
spent in this section, and there SEEM
ed no reason to doubt successful
growth if the business were properly
managed.
1t is safe to say a majority of those
present were favorably impressed
penter. In fact, the manufactures
committee, in their report to the
meeting, recommended favorable
considerat ton by the Board of Trade.
The result was that committee
was appointed-consisting of A. H.
Mcleod, o. S. Abbott, John Richie,
o. II. Henderson and E. T. Ide-to
confer with Messrs. Carpenter and
assist them in getting subscriptions
to the proposed increase of stock.
1t looks as though St. Johnsbury
could afford to keep this industry at
home, and it is to be hoped that the
matter can be brought to a success

Communication to the New

New York, July 16.-Under the cap

ing Post publishes Il communication
which is likely to create Il sensation. 1t
is signed by Oliver E. Wells, Wisconsin
superintendent of public instruction, and
the college anarchist" to whom it refers
is no less parsonage than Prof. Ely,
director of the school of economics. politi
cal science and history, III the University
of Wisconsin. Supt. Wells gives what
purports to be history of interference
by Prof. Ely on behalf of the union
printers ON the occasion of a strike in the
office of the Madison Democrat Il year
ago, and alleges that he bOycOtted the
Democrat Office by withdrawing from it
the printing of magazine of which he
was the conductor.
In an editorial article a column in
length referring to the communication,
the Post says: 1T is a very remarkable
revelation, and naturally prompts one to
inquire if the University of Wisconsin is
content with a teacher of youth who is
capable of such performances. A few
years ago Prof. Ely sent forth his plati-
tudes on socialism. ethics and labor from
Johns Hopkins university, but that insti-
tuition was able to spare him when he de-
sized to extend his usefulness over the
wider field of the boundless West. He
has been directing in Wisconsin univer-
sity for only short period, but it is APP

of the president of the university. Charles

ating class IN June last, that the head of
the institution is DESTROYS of spreading
abroad a belief that there are sounder
economic ideas entertained there than
Director Ely is emitting. The address,

is made up entirely of assaults upon his
ethical concepts The president seemed
to consider it his duty to remove from the
minds of the graduating class, as far as
possible in brief address, the rubbishy
ideas which the director had planted

UNION OF UNIVERSITIES.
The Columbian and Chicago to be Cou
solidated.


SOiidated.
Washington, D. c., July 16-A scheme
for union of the University of Chicago
and the Columbian university of this city
has been broached and it is under conSid-
GRAFTON, but has not yet advanced far
enough to warrant Il statement as to the
probabilities of its success. The project
contemplates Eastern and Western uni
versity branches of the Baptist faith
The Columbian university has excep-
tional facilities Tor post graduate work,
but is not richly endowed, a condition of
affairs that is exactly reversed with the
Chicago university. The Columbian uni
versity was established originally as
Baptist college and always has been DOM
mated by Baptists, though it long ago
ceased all save secular functions. 1t is
proposed to make the religious feature
more prominent in the belief that this
would enlist the support of the wealthy
contributors of the Chicago university,
and result in the building of a great
Eastern auxiliary of the Baptist church.
II has been suggested that Prof. w. +.
Harper, president of Chicago university,
be the president of the joint universities,
his time to be divided between the two in
situations.

smaller towns to have the meeting. A
committee was appointed to revise the
constitution, to report at the next meet
ing The secretary's report showed an
attendance of $50 active members from
thirty three societies, out of a total of
about $50 and thirty-fve societies. The
festival has been a financial success.
