A Terrible Case.

A woman who writes from Boston to
the New York Sun and signs her name
Sarah Ann Peters is one of the very
newest sort of "new women She
says:
II am one of the thousands of women who,
as Mrs. Stanton puts it, are riding to suf
frage on a bicycle" l want to discard skirts,
/ want to wear pants and l want to vote;
and nothing makes my blood boil more than
such speeches as that of Bishop Doane, re-
Gently delivered at Albany"
Here is richness. Sarah Ann "wants
to wear pants" and her language i'm
plies that she is destitute of this useful
article of clothing. Here is a case of
want and restitution that the churches
are turning a deaf ear to, and yet are
sending thousands Of dollars to the
heather. Let it be granted for the
sake of argument that the natives of
the south sea isles are as destitute in
this particular respect as Sarah Ann,
is that any ground for disobeying the
scriptural injunction to let charity
begin at home"
Then too Sarah Ann wants the bal
lot. She says:
"If it should become necessary to fight for
the enforcement of laws for which vote,
stand ready to. fight. Men talk about the
bullet behind the ballot. Do they forget that
poisons are more sure than the bullet and
less easily guarded against"
At what is the charming lady hint
ing so darkly? Does Sarah Ann advo-
cate the use Of poison? If SO as means
of warfare, or have these cabalistic
words deeper and more reprehensible
meaning? Perhaps Sarah Ann means
that unless down-trodden woman is
given the ballot and allowed to wear
pants there will be wholesale coffee and
tea poisoning by and by. Since Sarah
Ann Peters published her letter it really
seems that the perpetuity of our institu-
tiOns is at stake.

Milton A. Goodnow, September Term 1895.
Whereas, Mary L. Goodnow of Whining
ton in the County of Windham aforesaid, has
this day filed in the Office of the Clerk of the
Windham County Court, her libel for a
divorce against her husband Milton A. Good
now, now of parts unknown, returnable to
the September Term of said court, setting
forth her lawful marriage o the said libellee,
her residence in this State for the twenty
years, last past, and alleging that the said
1ibellee had absented himself from her in
June A ID. 1857 and had continued such
absence, unheard of, since that time; also
for that said libellee at said Wilmington, to
fully deserted the libellant, without cause
and has continued such wilful desertion ever
since, and for the causes aforesaid praying
that a divorce from the bonds of matrimony
be granted her. And it being made to appear
that the said libellee is now without the
of subpoena cannot be served upon him, 1T Is
ORDERED, That the hbellant give notice to
the libellee of the tendency of her said libel
and the term of court to which ii is return
able by publishing the substance of her said
libel together with this order for three
weeks successfully in the BELLOWS FALLS
lines, a newspaper printed at Rockingham
In said Wipdham County, the last publica-

The Color Line.

A great deal has been said and writ
ten about the thew woman and a
great deal of what has been written is
unadulterated rot. This creature has
frequently been referred to as separate
and distinct from the genus homo.
She has been both ridiculed and praised.
We are inclined to believe that she
has more good qualities than bad, but
that is not admitting that the "new
woman" is an ideal product.
A woman's club in Chicago, reputed
to draw largely from the ranks of the
"new woman" for it's membership has
adopted this amendment to its consti-
tuition: Membership shall be con-
ditioned on character and intelligence,
without regard to race, color, creed or
politics.
This complete abrogation of the
"color line" to say the least, is not
commendable. 1t may work very well
in Chicago where there are but few
blacks, but this amendment will not
be copied very extensively. The best
sentiment everywhere says that the
black man shall enjoy privileges equal
to the whites, but shall enjoy them
separately.

"Nigger" Baptism In Tennessee.

The baptising had been announced
and re-announced from the pulpit at
the revival and all or the colored people
Interested in the "saving of souls"
We're told to be on hand. AS q conse-
quence, the colored aunties, uncles, and
their relatives who reside within two
miles of the suburb were present to see
the rite properly administered and to
present the Fright hand of fellowship"
to their friends as they were led from
the waters edge. There were fully
a thousand people there, while several
hundred congregated on the banks on
the opposite side to witness the whole
sale ducking from distance.
After the crowd had assembled q
colored man named Hutchens went
out into the water with a large pole to
locate a suitable spot for the place of
immersion. The preacher then led in
prayer, after which he walked into the
river, taking with him cOlored man
who had signified his wishes to become
a Christian and stop his "deviltry."
He was ducked aud as he emerged
from the river he shouted, GLORY It's
all done and over"
The next person put under the water
was colored woman apparently about
80 years of age. Hutchens and Rev.
Johnson had no little amount of trouble
in keeping her from drowning. AS she
came up she commenced throwing her
hands around violently striking the
preacher and his assistant several times
and said she "loved the dear water"
They finally had to take hold of her in
earnest and carry her to the shore. In
the mean time she was kicking like
year-old mule with his first harness
on, and the men were wet from head
to foot When she reached the shore
the divine afflatus SO overcome her
yearning soul that she began series of
plaintive yels, the meantime hugging
and kissing her friends and all the
time keeping up pious dance and so
violent were her gyrations that her
clothes were almost torn from her body
and she had to be removed to hack
near by.-Chattanooga Times.

that it is "pay in advance" paper
may be, in part at least, the secret of
its reaching the century point.

Summer Travel to New York.

Vermont is bidding for patronage as
summer resort. Among its hills and
mountains and by its beautiful lakes
are some of the prettiest resorts in the
country. Whatever tends to bring
Summer tourists into the state is good
both for the state and the railroads run
ming into the state. Railroad facilities
with Boston are all that can be desired,
but the same cannot be said of New
York, especially as regards the eastern
part of the state and the White Noun
tain travel.
The New Haven railroad is the only
road out of New York that does not
take the cars from connecting roads,
like the Connecticut River road, into
New York without change ; and trains
from the river are dependent upon con-
meeting with the Boston expresses,
which do not wait for their connecting
trains. The White Mountain express,
which runs about three months in the
year, is the only train which runs into
New York from the Connecticut River
road, without obliging the passengers

field to New York there are Is trains

reason why trains should not be made
up at Springfield, so that connections
might always be sure, and interchange

Maine railroad.
These inconvenience to the public
ought to be remedied. United action
is now being taken in New York and
Brooklyn by summer residents of Yer
mont and the Connecticut river valley

Mountains in time to arrive in New
York before business hours in the morn
ing. At present the morning train is
not due in the city until 11.30 o'clock
The train from Burlington via Troy
reaches New Y ork at in the morning
This gives summer travel in the western
part of the state a wonderful impetus.
A New York business man can spend
a day or two the last of the week with
his family and get back to the city
for business Monday morning. This
arrangement could very easily be made
for the eastern part of the state.

The New Paper.

Yes, Bellows Falls has new paper,
that is, if too great accuracy in the use
of language is not insisted upon. To
be entirely accurate it should be said
that Keene has new paper with a
little Bellows Falls flavoring. This
paper is called The Review, is published
at Keene and No. of volume is out.
1t is monthly. 1t is creditable
sheet SO far as it goes, but right here
we want to enter protest in behalf of
the representatives of the fair sex in
Bellows Falls. Vol. l, No. l, is disfg-
ured, as to its first page, accusative of
specification, with an ancient cut that
some years ago was run in connection
with a Sozodont advertisement. This
cut represents three BOwery girls dis
torting their cavernous mouths fear
fully in order to show the beautiful
effect of Sozodont on the teeth. The
editor of Vol. l, No. 1, resurrected this
Gut from the ash heap in his back
yard, ruthlessly spoiled clean sheet
of paper with it, and with nerve that
would do credit to an undertaken
Inscribed this legend, Bellows Falls
Bellies"
If the cut had not been too ancient
to use in the advertising columns of
some "Coon Holler Gazette" the out
rage would not have been SO great,
hut to use cut SO battered, so worn is
discreditable even to the Bowery girls,
and gives the SozOdont people the very
hest of grounds for an action in DAM
ages. What does the editor of Vol. |,
No. l, mean to insinuate? That the
hsdies of Bellows Falls haven't well
kent teeth? Does he intend to give
the dentists slap too? This is adding
insult to injury, and is more than
human nature can endure. Where is
the valiant knight who will meet the
editor of Vol. 1, No. l, in the lists and
syenge this disgrace heaped upon the

by the Democratic press, but not
severely criticised by the Republican
press. The Boston Journal laconically
says "Carter must CO." This will
probably be the outcome. The all
absorbing question before the American
people 1896 will be the free silver agita-
ton, and by his declarations Carter has
logically placed himself in the Demo-
cratic ranks.
Silver conventions are now becoming
all the fad. One was held in New
Orleans and one in Memphis last week.
Both declared for bimetallism and the
free coinage of both gold and silver at
the ratio of Is to l.. In New Orleans
there were $500 people present, the
majority being merchants aud business
men. This great agitation means
something, and will mean more in
1896. The people of the south own no
silver mines, and yet are for free silver
by large majority.
