Death of Mrs. c. e. Capron.

Emma Adelaide Capron, wife of
Charles f. Capron, departed this life in
the evening of Thursday, November 8,
in the 10th year of her age.
The call came suddenly to this wife
and mother % leave her earthly ties for
the well-earned rest of Paradise. Yet
hers was soul prepared to hear the
call. Yes, because ready and happy to
battle on, though oft familiar with pain
and WEAKNESS. Her courage was that
rare sort, so perfect in its cheerful self
command that no stranger would sus-
pect how much it covered. Enduring
enough to break less bouyant spirit,
she was as young as her children in
heart and interests; the efficient head
of her households; strong in her self for
getfulness. That which in a weaker
character would have produced fretful-
ness and dependence served, with her,
only to add a peculiar touch of tender
ness to the family affection of which she
was the spring Though unable to en-
ter personally into all the doings of the
well and strong, yet her interest was
always keen and she loved to have
part by the work of her skillful fingers
in kindly deeds at home. Coming here
in the bloom of youth and early welded
life, her % years sojourn has won her
many friends, whose sympathy goes
out most warmly now to those whose
loss is SO much deeper and more sad.
Yet her loved ones have the memory of
pleasant years, the treasure of pure
and high example to be cherished in
their hearts and to lead them upward.
And the triumphant, holy joy of that
solemn service, with which she was
laid to rest beneath the shadow of the
church she loved, is marred by no fear
or questioning of her peace. II heard
a voice from heaven saying unto me:
Write from henceforth blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord, even so saith
the Spirit for they rest from their labors
and their works do follow them"

RARE BIRDS.
Chinese Dream Fowls on Exhibition
in Pierce's Store.

Il. G. Pierce, the clothier, has on ex-
hibition in his window a pair of Chi
nese Dream Fowls, very rare birds from
the Flowery Kingdom. These fowls are
used by the high caste mandarins in
their worship of the JOSS, Using Thu,
esteemed by Chinese to be the particu-
lar God of charms, for 80 days preced-
ing the ceremonies in Joss house. A
royal edict makes it death penalty to
carry these birds out of the kingdom,
and consequently but few have been
seen outside China. A pair was exhib-
tied at the Worlds fair, and this is the
only other pair brought to America.
They are valued at $500. They will be
on exhibition in the show window for a
few DAYS more.

that it has been less with them than
heretofore. Several did not answer
this inquiry. On the whole, the evil
dence seems quite strong that this bust
ness is increasing in the state, and it is
gratifying to find that nearly all en-
gagged in it report that they intend to
continue in the business, as they are
well satisfied with the results. The
amount of business done by different
persons varies, from the farmers home
in which one or two persons have found
accommodations and have paid $25 or
$50, to our large and finely equipped
summer hotels that have afforded ac-
commodation to several thousand guests
and received in the vicinity of fifty
thousand dollars during the season.
The difference in rates charged at diff
ferent places also varies from $3.50 to
$28 per week. So it can be seen that
the state is providing for all classes of
this travel, and the person of wealth
can find here accommodations and
prices to suit their conditions. For the
purpose of showing to some extent how
this business is distributed
over the state, have arranged it by
and find as follows:

WINTER HERE.
New England Covered With an
Early Fall of Snow.

When the first flakes of snow fell last
week it was little thought that they
would form the nucleus of sleighing.
But the faint-hearted attempt of the
weather clerk to bury the ground
out of sight was followed by ,little
squalls of snow that did not melt, until
finally a fall of about three inches Tues
day produced an excellent surface for
runners to slip along on. Yesterday
very few wagons were seen and every
body is hoping that the snow twill stay
all winter. 1t is good many years
since we have had settled lsleighing at
so early date. If the snow stays this
year there will undoubtedly be an alb
sence Of the epidemic of grip which has
afflicted the country for several years
past. Merchants will find business
better and farmers will be able to get
out wood to better advantage. There
has been so little rain the past summer
that it seems likely the fall of snow this
winter will surpass all records OF recent
years, for about so much moisture is
precipitated every twelve months i'll
one form or another This is the year
when we will get the other.
Train and telegraph service through
out the New England states have been
seriously interfered with from the
storms, but the latter has suffered most.
With the rush of election news the
Gripping of the service was more keenly
felt and strenuous efforts were made to
get the lines back into condition. An
other great calamity caused by the
snow is the interference with foot ball
games. Many of the leading games are
yet to be played, and it looks now as
though Yale and Harvard would have
to play on snow shoes. There will GER
tainly be greatly reduced attendance
at the big games and as the receipts
from these contests are relied upon
largely to support the athletic teams in
many colleges, the students are feeling
blue.
But it is more pleasant to have snow
in winter than to be wading around
through mud and slush, and we hope
to see the ground covered until next
March.

OUR SUMNER GUESTS.
More than IS, 900 Entertained dur.
ing the Past Season.

The state board of agriculture has
issued pamphlet embodying the re-
port of V. /. Spear on summer travel
for the season of 1894, which contains
facts and suggestions of much value.
Mr.. Spear says:
During the last days of August in
quiries were addressed to the postmas-
tiers in each town in the state, asking
them to send to me the names and
pOst-office address of each person in
their respective towns who have enter
tanned Summer tourists this season.
Reports were sent from nearly every
town in the state, and the list SO sup
piled contained over four hundred
names. A circular letter was sent to
each person on this list. asking them to
fill out and return to me the answers to
the following questions: Name OF
house? Name and postoffice address of
proprietor? Number of different quests
for the season 1894 ? Total amount re-
ceived for board and rooms? Estimate
of total amount paid by your guests for
livery, whether paid to you or others?
How has this travel compared this sea
son with previous seasons? Do you ex-
pect to entertain summer travel next
season? How many do you expect to
be able to accommodate? What price
for room and board shall you charge :?
In the letter accompanying this
blank it was requested that nothing
should be include i'm the replies that
came from ordinary travel, but only
the income from touIists and boarders
for the summer. The assurance was
also given that the replies received
would be treated canfidentially and
used only in getting a summary of re-
suits.
Three hundred replies have been re-
ceived, and two hundred and twenty
seven report some business this season.
The balance of those reporting, for one,
reason and another, have had no GUS
tom that has given revenue. A larg6
proportion of this latter class have had
summer visitors, but they were relatives
or friends who had come by invitation.
From the 227 persons reporting more or
less business i'll this direction we find
that there has been paid for board and
rooms 1854 $3.50; for livery, $50, $50; total,
1898, 905; number of different guests,
"a. 236; average amount paid by each
guest, Sis.
As about one-fourth of the names on
our list have not yet reported, and be-
lleving that those not reported are just
about an average with those from whom
reports have been received, and esti-
mating on this basis, it would give
little over 100000 as the total revenue
to the state for the three items of board,
rooms and livery
Ninety-four report the business as
better than in previous years; fifty-four

Judge Read on Education.

The Burlington Free Press has the
following extract from the speech of
Judge L. M. Read, opposing the repeal
of the town school system law by the
legislature Mr.. Read of Rockingham
opposed the bill in rafting speech,
which was one of the most effective of
the discussion. He said in part The
matter presents itself to me in broader
sense than has been discussed heretofore
by my opponents. Why not apply the
same arguments to the liquor question
and give the towns local option? If
towns go back to the district system
they can never come out of it except by
consent of the Legislature.
The interests of good old Vermont
should be the interests of us all. Dur
ing the past so years other states have
advanced and yet to our shame old
Vermont has stood still, and why is
this? Our scenery is equal to that of
any state, our soil is more fertile and
yet our PEOPLE leave their native state.
l think l can see why it is. A man
comes here from sister state ; his first
question is, 'what are your educational
advantages 2" and because our state has
in operation an antiquated- and made
quate system, which Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut discard ed gen
Grafton ago, he turns away. Do we
know what to do better than these
states
If there is anything we can do for the
cause of education, for Gods sake do it,
don't say that what is good for these
states is not good for.us. But someone
says it costs more to retain the town
system. Is there anyone here who will
weigh dollars and5 cents against good
educational facilities? The great trouble
with this law is that the men elected to
carry out its provisions won't do the
duty entrusted to them. Try the cleo
ton of competent and trustworthy men
before you condemn. the law. Don't
take step backward for two years ago
we took the step forward and if we now
pass this bill we shall be going back
century.

4 MIGHTY STRUGGLE.

The battle is on and it will be .
battle royal between the Cleveland
impeFialists and the feudal cohorts
arrayed under the banner Of Cor
man. The senate rebellion has
spread TO the house Of representa-
tives. where the democratic leaders
who have chafed under Cleveland's
yoke are organizing mutiny
against the Wilson bill, The eau
Gus called for this afternoon origin
ated with the mutineers and is
understood to be a movement
against the presidents tariff policy.
1t was called without the knowl-
edge Of Speaker Crisp, who is pre-
sumably in accord with the admin
istration, or without consulting
Chairman Wilson Of the conference
committee, who is known to be
the favored champion Of the presi-
dent IN the house, and this justifes
the belief that the caucus was
called ut the instance Of Senator
German, who is now the recognized
leader Of the opposition. We do
not believe it possible to bring the
democratic majority in the house
over to the support of the senate
bill, but the result Of caucus dis
cussicn and action Will probably be
to create schism and division in
the ranks Of the administration
and thus enable the senate to more
securely hold its ground. Still, at
this stage Of the proceedings no one
can make an intelligent guess of
what the outcome will be. We
only know that a great battle is
being fought, and that the con-
tending forces are bitterly hostile
to each other. We furthermore
kuev that Mr. Cleveland is max
ing the fight Of his life and that he
is straining every nerve and is
calling into requisition al the
power Of federal administration to
sustain his policy. 1t is evident
that he does not underestimate the
strength Of his adversaries, nor is
be obliYious to the fact that he is
in danger Of defeat. Telegram.

CONTRARY to general opinion, the
improvement in firearms has not
increased the murderous results Of
battles. The battles which have
been fought'in the South American
wars since 1890 show that only one
ont Of each seven. t.y-nine men en-
gagged was killed. In the Franco
German wof of 1907 onein each
tlfty-three met death, while in the
Crlmesn war onein each thirty-fye
OF the effective force was left dead
Oh the field. In our great civil
war one out Of every sixty-fvemen
was killed, and one in each ten
wounded. In Napolean's early
wars one out Of every twenty-eight
was killed and every fourth man
wounded, and in early British con-
tiicts as high an average as one
death to each nineteen engaged is

lTHAs been cause of wonder
why the penitentiary stove foun-
dry Of L.oewenberg & Co, was sold
to the state Of Oregon for $G5,0o0
when Its actual value was not over
$1,000. The mystery is explained
BY th E suit instituted BY Mrs. Louis
kub n, in Portland, against Julius
Lof weinberg for s10,S60 due for
services performed by her late hus-
paud in securing the passage Of a
bill by the Legislature, providing
for the purchase Of the Northwest
Foundry Company's plant at the

Now that men who want work
are able to make themselves heard
above the clamor and buster Of
the hulldozers who managed, the
Debs strike ON the Pacific coast, it
is apparent that for every job for
which the Southern Pacific needs a
man there are two or three men
who need and want the job. The
men who were responsible for the
strike must have known that this
would be the case, under the pres
ent industrial condition OF the
country, and, knowingit, they must
have relied upon winning the strike
BY intimidation Of men who would
be glad to take the places of the
strikers. They depended upon a

them into immediate confiict with
