has resulted in the libel suit. In
bringing this suit Gov. Woodbury.
said:
"If it were entirely state affair, and
confined within the limits OF Vermont,
might be inclined to let the Rutland Her
aid libel pass. Many, perhaps MAORI
ty, Of the people Of Vermont are suffi-
GENTLY familiar with the actual facts Of
the case to do me justice. If were
private citizen, too, | would be inclined
to pay less attention to the attack which
has been made upon me, but the people
of Vermont have done me the honor o
choose me for their governor, and,
throwing aside all personal consdera-
tons, it is derogatory to the gubernato-
rial dignity to pass by in silence such
libel as the Herald has perpetratcd. AS

read and believed by countless thous-

justice to myself, to the gubernatorial
office, and to the people of Vermont,
than institute this suit for libel

DEATH OF DIR. BEECHER.

The death of Rev. Edward Beecher,
D. D.. which occurred at his home
in Brooklyn, N. Y, on Sunday, July
%, aged 90 years, removes one OF
the oldest ministers of the Congre-
gational church. DR.. Beecher was
the third child of the late DR.. Lyman
Beecher. He was born in East
Hampton, l., l., Aug. 81, 1903. He
was educated at Yale college and And
over Theological Seminary. His first
pastorate was in Park street church,
Boston, which he left in 1880, after
five years, to take the presidency Of
Illinois college. Twelve years later
he left the college TO accept the pas
torate of Salem street church, Bos-
ton. In 1855 he left Boston for the
pastorate OF the Congregational
church in Galesburgh, Ill. In 1870
here moved to Brooklyn, N. Y, and
was, for a time, associate editor Of
the Christian Union. From his
home in Brooklyn he preached in
a helpful way to several churches in
New Jersey. His last pastorate, of
four years, was at Parkville, a suburb
of Brooklyn. He was the first editor
of the Congregationallst. Though
possessed Of less versatility and pop
ular talent than his brother, Henry,
he was a man of distinguished abili-
tv and varied attachments. His
spirituality, especially in his later
years, was very marked. His princi-
pal theological work, THE Conflict
of Ages" in which he tried to trace
depravity back to pre-existent
state, found almost no endorsers.
He was a jealous advocate of phvsi-
cal exercise as conducive to long life.
His marriage was happy one. His
wife and two sons survive him. Last
October he celebrated the sixty-hfth
anniversary of his wedding. He died
after a few days illness, of old age.

RAILWAY DISASTER.

There was a terrible railroad wreck
at Plymouth, n. H., on August Sth,
when the White Mountain express,
known as the cannon ball, ran
into an extra freight, smashing two
locomotives, nineteen freight cars,
killing three men and injurng anoth-
er so that he died 1t is almost mir
aculous that the passengers escaped
without any serious injury. The
freight was in charge of conductor
L. ]. Tyler, pilot David Colburn and
fireman Henry Glines, all OF Woods
vile. The men who lost their lives
were Frank Stevens of Lakeport,
engineer of the cannon ball; George
Merrill of Lakeport, fireman of the
cannon ball; Henry Glines of Woods
vile, fireman of the freight; Arthur
Austin of Haverhill. 1t is regarded
as mystery how the cannon balls
time was forgotten by the pilot Of
the freight, as he was veteran engi-
neer. Conductor Tyler has been
held on the charge Of manslaughter.

THE NEW WOMAN.

The new woman is popularity supposed
to be a woman of liberal education and
advanced ideas, a woman prepared to
maintain her rights aud claim her privil-
eyes, and make and keep fair standing
ground for herself in whatever field she
chooses to exploit her CONVICTIONS or
exert her abilities. She is supposed to
look with certain disfavor on domes-
ITCHY, to go about with chip on her
shoulder among old-fashioned people
who fancy that a woman's natural
sphere is in the narrow world OF home.
The new woman, we learn Incl
dentally, cares little for marriage, regard
ing it as an incident in life, but proudly
holding herself above the old stupid
notion that love and matrimony are car
dinal points in the destiny of her sex.
She is said to be opposed to sacrificing
herself on the altar of childhood, and to
look with pitful scorn on the mother OF
a half-dozen boys and girls. Whatever
man may do, this product OF I'm de steele
fancy is said to insist upon doing, setting
her feet firmly down on the antiquated
myths which once obtained-the myth of
the right of the weaker to protection by
the stronger, of the alteration of the
mother as the most blessed of all women
on the earth, of the queenly dignity OF
her who rules the home and keeps alight
the fire on the hearth
Our question is where to find this per-
sonage so glibly described and discussed,
but so elusive when she is sought She is
absent from our drawing-rooms, where
today, as in former years, gracious mat
rons and fascinating maidens impart to
society the ease, the flavor, the sweetness,
which make the intercourse of well-bred
people with one another equally repose-
iul and stimulating
She is not to be discovered i'll the
innumerablc professions and trades
which women have made their own, from
the pulpit to the printing-office. The
woman doctor, albeit an excellent physi-
clan, is as womanly as our mother Eve,
and one seeks in vain for novelty in the
woman professor, artist, minister, clerk,
typewriter, journalist, or woman en-
gagged in any avocation known to the
utility OF the hour Purely womaniy
under the students cap or gown, or
under the frills and fittings of the beauti-
fully arrayed debutante, our women OF the
hour are just what their mothers and
grandmothers were-sincere, single
hearted, straightforward, impulsive, self
denying, lovable, tenderly loving beings,
God Almighty made them to match the
men," and until He unmakes them they
are unlikely to change in any very inn
portant particular Harper's Bazaar.

A LIBERAL HOST.

In one of our London exchanges
we notice the following criticism OF
dinner recently given by Mr.. Wana-
maker. 1t is written by an Ameri-
can. and should be a rebuke to those
who thus foolishly hold themselves
up to rdicule before the world.
There is no use in my recapitulating
the incidents of the now famous little
dinner given by Philadelphia nobleman
to his Partisan friends in the Bots de
Boulogne last week, for it has been COM
mented upon with astonishment bv al
most every English paper printed. 1t
was very kind and very princely to pro-
vide coupe rides, entire fowls, whole sal
mon and entire joints, and jeweled souve-
Mrs for each OF his twenty-five guests
judged in the light of the Arabian
Nights, or OF the ancient Oriental idea
generally, but in the light of the year of
grace 1895 can only perceive that the
host" has stamped himself as an osten-
tatious person, whose pseudo-liberalitv
would have been an offensive insult to
any but the brainless Boulevard calf,
who would have accepted the coupe and
horse and purse Iul CT lous-in fact,
anything else that there was to give
away as "souvenir'-with equal pork
ishness. In fact, if any rich man desired
to convey to the world hrs impression
that the crowd of sycophants who sur
rounded him were pigs as to appetite
and shameless as what our British cou-
sins call "cadgers," he could not have
adopted more cute way of doing it,.
Such exhibitions are a disgrace to our
national reputation for sterling man

NO CHANCE FOR A LICENSE La W.

a p(rusal of the two and three
column editorials of the Rutland
Herald these DAYS would lead one TO
infer that the great majority of Yer
monterS wanted a license law, and
that the supporters OF the prohlbitory
law were confined TO few so called
cranks and third party men. 1t is
quite likely that in the cities in this
state the sentiment has been gaining
tor a license law, but the friends of
temperance need have no fear that
the prohibitory law will be repealed.
1t is fixture in this state that is as
firm as the hills, and all attempts to
pass a high license bill in the legis.
lature have met with signal failure.
AT the same time it behooves the
friends OF temperance not to let the
other side get any advantage, and
though it is a year before the next
legislature meets, only representa-
tives that will support the prohib.
tory law should be sent to Mont.
