 Good day"
 A party of young gentlemen were gath cred at the corner of First avenue and
 Twentieth street yesterday afternoon, ad-
 miring the beautiful women who are always found on that thoroughfare when
 the weather will permit of their being out. As they passed to and fro there came an oc-
 casional smile of recognition and bow in the direction of the group on the curostone. One of the more romantic young men said to his companions: ''Do you know 1 think
 that on day like this pretty woman ex- ceeds all things of beauty. Women and sunshine go hand in hand, all opinions of
 the vulgar pessimist to the contrary not withstanding.' Just at this period of the conversation very particular lady friend of the spokesman passed that way and the group noticed that the sun had gone behind cloud. As soon az the lady passed out of sight the kiug of day came out and gently spread his benign rays over nature once more. dou't know exactly what conclusion the group reached in regard to the cause of this in- cdent, but the man with romance in his makeup LOOK an lmueulAte uepaEbure' The Stroller unconsciously steered him. self in the vicinity of wheel of fortune arrangement, on Twentieth street, last night. Around the little table were gath cred many pitiful specimens of humanity, who were giving up their last dimes for a chance at the wheel. When tn Stroller turned away he complained to himself that the same law which suppresses large and lucrative institutions of gambling like the lottery, the faro bank or the roulette table, should grant privilege to these dfminu- tive cesspools built on the same plan, ex- cept that they are of @ smaller calibre. The large institution robs the rich man until he sees the error of his way, and the his last penny. By the time this conclu- sion was reached the Stroller found him. self in close proximity with another table of the same character and his indignation was doubled. How many of these institu- tions there are in the city he did not ascer-i tain, as he thought this matter for the officers to look, after.
 A gentleman remarked to a friend on First avenue yesterday that Birmingham seems to be supporting nearly every nature of a fake conceiva ble just at this time. The city begins to look like Midway Plaisance, :, the only difference being that the amuse-
 ments differ in point of magnitude, but not in variaty." ''But probably,' be added,
 amusement is misnomer in this con- nection.'' Undoubtedly so,' replied
 his friend 1T oo not think these fakes
 escaped from the Worlds fair.'

THE last revolution in Cuba lasted ten years. The revolutionists were in cahoot with the government officials, and by di- vdiug their spells with these officials they escaped arrest.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-03-15

CUBA possesses the richest soil of any land on the globe. Her exports are S50 per capita, and of this country only SS5 per capita. She has fertile valleys and high mountains. Her climate is salubrious, and the health of the people is good in spite of the lack of sanitary regulations. The sew craze of Havana has for centuries poured into the bay, which has no outlet, and yet the people still live. The taxation is enor- mons, the government administration ex. ecrable, the people rebellious. If the island was under control of strong gov. ernment like the United States the abuses would be abolished. The sanitary regula- lions would be perfected, taxation re- duced and the land cultivated after the most approved methods. If Uncle Sam owned Cuba it would be fitting conpan- ion piece to Alaska. His hands would stretch from the arctics to the tropics. Alasks would be his ice house and Cuba his conservatory.

COMMERCIAL COURTESY |.

A commercial courtesy club has been started in Cincinnati. The name is appro- priate, the purposes excellent, and the ex- ample worthy of all imitation.
 It is the mission o: the club, as explained by one of it's founders, ito meet and enter tain the ont-of-town dealers who come to Cincinnati to buy; to take them to see the great factories, busy machine shops, the Redwood Pottery, Art Museum, Zoo, the beautiful hill tops-make them feel that Cincinnati is proud to have them here, and let the impression of it's advantages and facilities grow on them; make them feel at home, and 10 to they will become better friends to Cincinnati and her merchants than if the entertain ment ends with the shop talk in the business atmosphere oi the wholesale house.'' This is hint that all commercial clubs might take. The Bir- mingham Commercial Club recognizes the courtesy due visitors to the city, and keeps a standing invitation to strangers to make themselves at home in the club rooms.

.vermont--Tts Fertile Farms. .

"Vermont, Its Fertile Farms and Sum-
mer Homes" is the title Of q neat little
brochure issued by the State Board Of
Agriculture and compiled by its statisti-
cal secretary, Hon. v. 1. Spear.
The volume opens with an account Of
the agricultural advantages Of the state,
followed by description OF the different
counties and the many delightful summer
homes to be found within them. The
last forty pages OF the pamphlet give q
tabular list OF the hotels, summer homes
and resorts in Vermont, with informa-
tion in regard to location, accommodation,
etc., and also a list of the farms offered
for sale In all the counties.
Lamoille county offers only one for sale
and that is situated in Elmore. Seventeen
are offered in Orange county but none Of
them are located in Randolph and may
not, on that account, meet with quite so
ready sale.
The subject matter OF the pamphlet is
we'll arranged and its pages are illustrated
with many picturesque views OF Vermont
scenery, with its panorama of mountains,
and valleys, ponds and lakes.
The object of the publication is to place
before visitors to the state, in search OF a
home or desirable spot in which to
spend the summer months, information
which is being asked for by letter and
which it is impossible to give by CORE
spoDdence; and the pamphlet would seem
to fulfill its mission admirably.

To many people Randolph is known as
the place where the handsomest and most
durable carriages are made, and to Mr.
Warren w. Bean she owes this part OF her
reputation.
From his shop, situated in the suburb
known as Beanville, carriages have been
sent to nearly every state in the Union
and even as far away as Australia, and
everywhere their excellence Of workman
ship has caused them to be highly CON-
mended.
1t is no small compliment to their max
er that when secondhand carriages OF
wagons are offered for sale, the words
Bean mader are often found inserted in
the advertisement as a sufficient proof Of
their desirability to the wouid-be pur'
chaser.
This season, beside much other work, he
has built and sent two carriages to Mr.
VIM. Tallman Smith of Scranton, Pa, whc
in acknowledging their receipt gave ex'
preston to his satisfaction as follows
1.-THE Concord buggy and the phaetor
and pole are here and in daily use ant
seem to he all that could ask for. They
are roomy, comfortable, easy-riding ane
good looking, and have every appearance
OF being well made"

and there was soon nothing to deliver pu'

One More Escape.

One More Escape.
Monday, as the afternoon mail train
was drawing into the station, people
standing about in the square caught their
breath as they saw Mr.. Melzar Woodbury.
OF the Center start to drive across the
track, not having heard the warning
whistle.
A simultaneous movement for the
horses head was made by those on the
depot platform, and the team stopped
just as the train rolled over tue crossing.
The horse, little frightened by its near
ness to the cars, began to run down Main
another team from the opposite direction.
Both drivers refined their horses toward
the hitching posts In front OF the blocks,
and the excitement subsidized in moment.
But the fact still remains that people
are altogether too careless about crossing
the track on both Main and Pleasant
streets. Every day from one to half a
dozen dance over the crossing just ahead
Of an advancing train; but once over their
air OF haste will disappear and they will
either turn around and deliberately walk
back or proceed forward at snail's pace.
During the past month, two or three
have just missed being run over; but their
narrow escape has seemingly had little
effect on the majority, and racing with
the locomotive still continues to be
favorite pastime.
So fond do the people seem to be OF this
diversion that 1t is doubtful whether a
gate and Waterman at each crossing
would be sufficient to prevent their taking
unnecessary chances, and it is highly
probable that they would only derive ad.
ditional exhilaration from knocking
do wn the Waterman and leaping over the
gate.

Quite an Accident.
Last Thursday evening, Mr.. 7. J. Adams
was taking his wife ard four other ladies'
Miss Cornie Pierce, Mrs. Grimm ana
Misses Inez and Edith AbDott--out ariv-
ing when quite serious accident nap
pened.
Mr.. Adams, who had pair OF horses
hitched to three. seated wagon, was
driving homeward from the Green Noun
tain Stock farm, around by the stone
schoolhouse, when, right at the corner at
the foot OF the Herrick bill he met Charies
Blodgett, in single team, goingto brook
field.
II was very dark and Mr.. Adams, as ne
took the right side OF the road, shouted to
the other driver to turn out, but the
latter not noticing that collision was
imminent, failed to move out far enough,
and the two teams met with crash.
Blodgett's horse was thrown to the
ground and the thill to his wagon entered
the breast OF the of horse on the other
team nearly foot, infiicting frightful
wound. None OF the people were throw
out or at all injured; and the horse, though
in pretty bad condition at first, seems in
a fair way to recover from the wound.
