The company is organized to build and
operate a standard gauge electric railway
between Waterbury and Stove, distance
of 10 miles. Ample water power Is avalla-
BILE. The road is to be equipped for the
transportation of both freight and passengers.
The enterprise has been talked of for some
time and now that the organization has been
perfected aud such capable and practical

ed themselves in the project, it looks as
though the people of Stowe and Waterbury

In Mr.. f. d. Blackwell the president Of
the company, the incorporators have the
right man in the right place. He is con-
nected with various business enterprises, Il
number of which are of a similar kind to
this one, and judging by the perseverance,

will put the undertaking through to compile

One of the Best.

Every year seems to better the exhibit of
the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany. Its membership increases, its assets
improve, its surplus grows greater, and its
expenses become proportionally smaller. 1t
is a great financial institution, run on the
most common sense business principles Its
policy holders are constantly sharing these
advantageous conditions through decreasing
annual cost of insurance That which thus
effects the people is certain to reap its share
of success, as the peoples interests are
broadly scattered throughout the land. The
forty-eighth annual statement is published
elsewhere. 1t will repay careful attention.
The company's assets are crowdins 1852, 0OO,-
000 while its surplus amounts to nearly
SO, 800, 900. Last year it received nearly
s., 500, 600, of which over 81, 100000 was
for premiums, The disbursements to policy
holders were 50. 1924 600. Few companies in

ANCIENT ACCEPTED SCOTTISH RITE
MASONRY.
Its Universally and Rapid Growth sketch
ed by IA Member of the Order.

1t has been well said that even the most
learned enemies of Free Masonry cannot point
to the time when it did not exist which en-
titles it to the appellation of Ancient and
gives it fame and preeminence to which
the history of other institutions of this kind
affords no parallel
1t is not claimed that the Ancient and
Accepted Scottish Rite is of extreme an
tiquity, yet the frosts of time decorate its
brow and the proofs are undeniable that
Free Masonry is universal. 1t has com
PEELED itself to tie chains of friendship
between the eminent men OF science
and progress who are the pride of
their nation. Like all other institutions
of great worth the Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite has been initiated spurious
bodies have risen, flourishcl and fallen, and
not even the traditional sprig of acacia re-
mains to mark their last resting place. Even
in Rutland few INSCRIPTIONS members of
the lower lodges have become vendors of the
spurious degrees misleading their unsus-
pecting fellow-men, taking their money and
giving no value received; but, upon the
contrary, subjecting them to the reproach
of all good MasOnS. For the benefit of the
unimformed it may be said that there is but
one consistory 320 and one chapter of Rose
CroiX 49, in the State OF Vermont and
those are located at Burlington.
There are but two genuine councils
of Princes of Jerusalem 16', one at Burlng
ton and the other at Montpelier. There are
seven lodges of Perfection ~, located re-
spectively at Burlington, Windsor, Mont
pelier, Bennington, st. Johnsbuly, Newport
and Rutland. These at present are presided
over in the order above named by d. n.
Nicholson Arlando n. Logan, George NJ.
Goss George b, Sibley, Charles y. Calder
wood. Robert J. Wright and Jesse L. Thorn
son. These bodies are all under the obedi-
ance of the only supreme council IN the
Northern Masonic Jurisdiction, |. :, A.,
whose grand east is Boston, Mass. Henry
l.. Palmer, 33', Milwaukee, Wis. NJ. F.,
for grand commander; and I'll. Marsh Q,
Perkins, 80, of Windsor is the deputy foi
Vermont All other pretended bodies of the
rite in this State are clandestlne and spur
ious.
The growth of the legitimate Scottish
Rite Masonry in this jurisdiction since it
introduction by Ill, George q, Tyler, 33'
has been marvellous and during the past
wear is unprecedented Men of the highes
moral, social and religious standing have
been attracted to the order on account of it
sublime teaching, Wherever one travels
upon the habitabe globe the hand of th'
Scottish Rite Mason is extended TO erasl
that of his brother, and the modes of recog
milton speak the same language the worl'
over thus forming one grand brotherhood
of all nations. y.

Fire at Winooski.

Fire was discovered Thursday morning
about o'clock in dwelling house located
near Spring street in Winooski. The house
was occupied by Phillip Dennis and his fam
lily, who escaped with nothing but their
night clothing, they being unable to save
any of the property. The fire was discov
cred around the chimney on the second floor
and the cause can probably be assigned to
some defect in the chimney, The house was
a total loss also. Mr.. Dennis had an insur-
ance on his house and furniture of 500,
placed in the agency of T. s. Peck, Burling-
ton. who has already taken steps to adjust

on the streets during the year than for sew

permanent work. The change from a horse
to an electric street railroad made it neces-

The Barometers of Trade.

The New York Postof1ce, the telegraph
and the cable companies. all bear &C nviuc-
ing testimony to the revival Of trade which
has followed the settlement Of the tariff ques-
tion. These three agencies OF communica
tion between business men are to be likened
to trade barometers, so accurately anc
promptly do they record the varying con-
ditions OF the commercial affairs OF the ccUn-
try.
When business is active, when merchants
and manufacturers are hopeful and energetic,
the mails IRE burdened with circulars, with
announcements and with orders for goods.
The telegraph companies, under the same
circumstances, are busy transmitting COM
mercial messages, with orders for goods and
the like. The cables are to international
commerce WHIST the telegraph lines are TO in
land and national commerce.
Each of these three agencies Of trade re-
ports tnat there has been a general consider
able revival of all business interests since
the tariff question ceased to be an element OF
commercial uncertainty.

WHY M1LEINa MACHINES FAIL.

The difficulty in the way of milking
machines is not one of mechanics but
of nature. Nilk-giving is natural
function, and it requires stimulation
through the nervous system. An un-
milked COW will dry up. A COW milked
by calf has shorter period of milk
giving than one milked by hand. At
certain age the calf becomes too
obstreperous to coax the lacteal flow
and the COW doesn't fully respond.
There is a wide difference also in
milkers-some getting more milk and
more butter fat in the same quantity
than others.
Successful milking depends upon q
manipulation which is pleasing to the
cow-one which creates sympathy.
It must cause reflex action, the milk
being secreted during the operation
and the extent of the secretion being
governed by the feelings of the cow.
No machine can influence the
emotional nature as can on intelligent
handling by a sympathetic living
being. The emotions are not con.
trolled by the laws of mechanics.
Friendship, love, sympathy are not
mechanical productions. A COW MIXED
by machinery does not receive that
sympathetic stimulus of nerves that is
necessary to the best results This
