Journalism in Vermont.

A hundred years ago there were only
three papers printed in Vermont for over
100000 population. In 1888 there were
25 weekly papers for a population of
100000. In 1855 there were 35 weeklies
and one daily for population of 314, 600
In 1877, A weeklies and four dailies for
100000. In 1880, So weeklies and four
dailies for 332, 900. Now there are 81
weeklies and four dailies to the same
population. The first paper printed was
the Post Boy. Since 1895 $50 papers that
have been started have "given up the
ghost" The names of some of these
were: The Northern Oziris, the Scourge
of Aristocracy, the Horn of the Green
Mountains, the Ragged Edge, the Swan
ton Synchronist, the Worlds Paper, the
Way of Holiness. OF IL dailies estab-
lished have had their day and suspend
ed or been merged with other papers.
Among those who have served as edi-
tors of some paper were Anthony Has
well, the first postmaster general of
Vermont; Matthew Lyon, who repre-
sented Vermont in the fifth and sixth
Congresses; Samuel Williams, the his.
tOrian; VIM. Lloyd Garrison of anti-slav-
cry fame; Chas. G Eastman, the poet
John G. SAKE, the poet; G. W. Willard,
who represented Vermont in Congress
for three terms, and E. P. Walton, who
also served three terms in Congress.

A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained ankle. If you suffer from any
of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your
stomach is tired. 1t needs crutch. We
must relieve it of all work for time, or
until it is restored to its natural strength.
To do this successfully, we must use a
food which is already digested outside of
the body, and which will aid the diges-
ton of other foods that may be taken
with it. Such a product is the Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
The Shakers have utilized the diges-
tive principles present in plants for the
manufacture of this article, and its sue
cess has been truly phenomenal. You
can try it for the nominal sum of 10
cents, as sample bottles are sold by all
druggists at this price.

ON THE ROAD TO FORTUNE.
Senator Jones' Luck For Befriending a
Poor Inventor.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, who was
chairman of the senate subcommittee that
framed the present tariff law, is said to be
destined to become a millionaire as re-
ward for his patience and faith in an &C.
centric inventor of the name of Graves
down in Arkansas whom he has befriend-
ed and supported from his own slim in
come for many years. Graves is a man Of
inventive genius, but without money
making faculties. He has produced several
useful mechanisms, but they have never
paid him anything, and he lived In perjury
and often in privation until Senator Jones
accidentally saw method he had contriv-
ed for COMPRISING cotton into circular in
stead of angular bales. 1t occurred to him
that this was a very important matter,
and he encouraged Graves to develop the
idea, in the meantime furnishing him
with money to feed himself and family
and buy material to carry on his expert
ments. AS consideration for this assist
ance the inventor assigned to his bene-
factor half interest in the patents.
Mr.. Jones one day happened to mention
the circumstances to Senator Camden Of
West Virginia, who afterward repeated the
story to William Johnston, the proprietor
of the line of big cargo steamers that carry
cotton and cattle between Baltimore and
Liverpool.
Mr.. Johnston was so much interested in
the subject that he started for Little

THE PRINTERS AGE LIMIT.
Probability That 1t Will BE Done
Away With.

The civil service commission, with Mr..
Rice returned from his vacation and pres
ent, had a session today to meet an expert
beard from the government printing office.
A full discussion of the proposed modifica-
tion Of the new rules was had. Members
of the board stated that the only reason
why a limit was thought of was to prevent
aged printers coming to Washington from
all parts of the country to PASS the exam
nations and then fail of appointment. AS
a rule, 1t was found that department Off
cials would invariably select the younger
of the men certified to them, and 1t seemed
to be an act of humanity to raise no hopes
by putting an age limit and sticking to it.
1t was called to the attention of those pres
ent that when an eligible list is established
the names OF all the employees dismissed
from the government printing office within
a year will practically stand on the eligible
list. Another examination will be held a
week from next Wednesday, on August 2S
to add to the list of elgibles for compost
ors. pressmen, and bookbinders. 1t seems
likely from the trend of today's conference
that the age limit Will be removed. This
modification of the rule will not apply to
the unskilled labor roll.

When the subcommitteemen have made

The action of the full committee will be

these means 1t is expected to obtain ma

Barracks to He Erected Like Those
at the Washington Encampment.
Gen. J. S. Fullerton, chairman of the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
Military Park Commission, has issued a cir
cular as follows: 1T appears from numer-
GUS letters received by this commission
that its previous circular in regard to fur
nishing quarters in camp barracks has
been construed to mean that such barra cks
will be erected without regard to the or
ders received. and that those desiring these
quarters can obtain them upon their ar
rival at Chattanooga This. however, is
not the case. AS Congress made no appro-
priation for free quarters a plan was de-
vsed by which barracks accommodate tions
could be provided by the citizens committee
of Chattanooga at very low rate for all
who might order such sufficient time in
advance. 1t is the intention to extend
barracks as orders for accommodations are
received. Such accommodations cannot be
provided under applications received after
August 80, 1885. Those who send 81 to

age for hand baggage and toilet accommo-

ladies with quarters in these barracks. or
with them. 1t will be necessary for each
person to bring his own blanket and towels.
The barracks will be constructed upon the
plan adopted at the last Grand Army en-
campment at Washington city, where a
very large number of veterans were thus
housed Such structures will be erected in
Chattanooga. where, within convenient
distances. meals and lunches may be OBJ
tafned at reasonable prices. Communica-
tons in regard to barracks addressed to
Capt. Muller, VINO was selected by the
citizens committee to take charge of this
work, will receive prompt and reliable at
tention. The indications of very large at
tendance at the dedication are such as to
lead this commission to urge that all con-
templating attendance make arrangements
in, advance for quarters. A citizens ex-
ecutfve committee, OF which Capt. H. S.
Chamberlain is chairman, is now canvass
ing the city of Chattanooga to find quar-
ters in private families for those who de-
sire such accommodations. Full informa-
tion may be obtained by addressing that
committee, and assurances have been given
that rates will be reasonable"

AN OBJECT LES son
Secretary Morton Pays Some of His EN-.
ployes in Silver.
A Good Deul of Kicking to the Pay
mnxter-Some Consider This Ac-
tion Very Unfair.

Secretary Morton of the Department of
Agriculture gave what he regards as an OBJ
ject lesson to the employees of his depart
ment yesterday afternoon. He had heard
arguments by many Of his subordinates in
favor of silver as "a poor mans money"
Accordingly he ordered the paymaster of
the department to pay out 81 900 in silver
coin, this money weighing sixty pounds.
The silver coin was paid to all the en-
ployes about the grounds Of the Agricul-
tural Department, to messengers, and we'll
known silverites in various positions in the
department. Unless Mr.. Morton receives a
petition to the contrary, 1t is expected that
silver will be paid out again and again on
pay day, at least to the men who are
known to favor it as currency.
A Good Deal of Kicking.
There was a gooc deal of kicking among
the employees of the department over Sec
retary Morton's act, and a good many of
them have indicated to the paymasler that
they want paper money on their next pay
day. When these men have protested
against receiving silver, they have been
esked whether they do not believe that
silver is the ~"pcor mans money" and
whether it is not as good as any other
money. One of the men, who was given
several pounds of silver to carry home last
evening, remarked today:
Il think Secretary Morton Is very un-
fair in what he terms as his object lesson.
He might as well pay us in nickel pieces
or in copper pennies and If we protest that
that Is not a convenient form Of money to
carry he might say by that protest we
are not in favor of copper and nickel coin.
AS matter of fact. if man were paid,
say, $4,000 in gold coin, which he would be
expected to carry home with him, he would
protest as strongly as we protest at being
paid our monthly salary in silver dollars.
The $4,000 would weigh sixty pounds, and
greenbacks of large denominations or silver
certificates, for the matter of that, would
be preferred to the heavy coin. We are in
telligent men in this department, and If
Secretary Morton wants to present an ar
gument to US we see no reason why he
should not present some manly argument,
instead Of indulging in the child's play of
paying US OF in silver dollars. Let him
give US silver certificates and he will hear
no complaint
