perior to other American citizens,
because in tie United States there
is no rank above citizen. The con-

is purely and simply an act on the
part Of Congress looking to business

Government. The status of who

THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.
The 26th Triennial Conclavs Mt Boston
Next Month";

Burlington comuandery No. is having
special drills every week preparatory to
the great conClaVe at Boston. 1t is expect
ed that about 80 Knights will go from here
besides ladies and others who will be anx-
ious to 20. The headquarters Of Burling-
ton commandery will be Nos. ESQ, GS2, 6S4,
fremont street. Captain General W. H.
Lane, jr will be in command and it is ex-
pected that the company will make a fine
showing.
The liVeliest kind of preparations are be-
ing made by the board of management at
Boston and no pains are spared to provide
the visitors during their stay with the
highest standard of accommodations.
From reports already sent in it is safe to
say that there will be between 5000 and
$4,000 happy Knights Templar in the big
parade on the nth, while it is anticipated
that as many more, including the families
of the Templars and others will inundate
the streets of the city during the conclave.
In all it is estimated that about $1,000 men,
women and children will be affiliated with
the prcambles of the 10Th trennial con-
clave of the grand encampment of Knights
Templar.

NEW ERA IN TELEPHONE sERvl cE.
Connection with Points Beyond the Lake
in the Near Future.

President James +. Keelyn of the Ma
tonal association of Telephone Manufac-
turers and of the Western Telephone and
Construction company, has been in the
city for a few days making arrangements
to introduce a system of telephone eX-
changes, connecting both sides Of the lake
and extending to Montreal and Albany.
The general plan is to connect the main
trunk lines with lines branching out in all
directions, east and west from them. Bur
lington could then have quick and short
service to all points on the other side of
the lake, there being no cross connection
at present An exchange has been started
at Ticonderoga and is contracted to be
finished in 80 days. At Port Henry, also.
one will doubtless be finished by the same
time. At each place 100 telephone equip
ments are being put in.
A line is contemplated from Whitehall
to Plattsburgh and Rouses Point, where
il will he connected with he other lines,
forming a web of wires across this sec
ton of the country. The Adirondacks will
be connected in the same manner. The
method of work is by sections. A certain
section of the country is taken up at one
time and first covered thoroughly before
another section is started
Nothing definite has been suggested in
respect to Burlington. The important
feature of this system is that there are
no club lines. There is only one telephone
on line and every subscriber has an
independent metallic circuit. The rates
are extremely low, being ST per month for
residences and $3.50 per month for business
places. 1t is safe to say that every town
in the lake region will be in connection
within year. The United States govern
ment at present purchases all their instrI-
ments of this company, having Just
equipped the patent office, pension Office
geological survey and the other principal
government buildings.

THE VERMONTER
A Publication Devoted to the Interests of
Vermont and its People.

The first number of the Nermonter pub
lshed by Col Charles 3 Forbes of St.
St. Adams, made his appearance Tuesday
and copies will be on sale as we under
stand it, throughout the state to-day
The publication is all that residents of
the State had been led to expect from the
prospectus in subject matter, while in
point of typographical appearance and
get up it is beyond anything of the
kind heretofore attempted in a regular
publication in Vermont. 1t has 80 pages
which are repete with matter of interest
to Ncrmonters.
Tho contents include articles on the
Green Mountain State by representative
Nermonters, and interesting and valuable
articles on Nermonters abroad, our pub
lie schools, burlington as the Masonic
Mecca, the Vermont National Guard, the
coming cncampment, odd Fellowship,
our summer resorts and notes of various
societies. The illustrations which are of
a high order Of merit, include portrait
of Gov Woodbury. as frontispiece, ana
portraits of State Superintendent NJ. S.
Stone and the grand officers Of the Grand
Lodge of Vermont, F. and A NJ" Capt.
Tutherly and Others and illustrations of
the Bradford High school, the proposed
new Masonic temple, the Gill odd Eel
lows Home and a number of glimpses OF
our charming summer resorts.
Col Forbes has done himself credit in
his first number, especially when his loss
es by the burning of some Of his material
is taken into consideration. The field
which he has entered is a promising one,
ana he will undoubtedly make the Yer
monter the gratifying success which it
deserves to be.

KEEPING EGGs-BEsT WAY.

The farmer who understands keeping
eggs that are laid now, until winter time
makes from one to two hundred per cent
profit on his money. Think of it! Why
not make this profit instead of giving il
away to the produce dealer who drives
along from house to house at this time of
year, buying eggs at less than the market
price. What does he do with them? Sell
them now? Oh no. He preserves them
until winter; then sells them. doubling his
money, and laughs in his sleeve, wonder
ing why the farmers do not preserve their
own eggs and make this profit themselves
This paper has many subscribers among
farmers. and If they will write to the Egg
Preserving Co., No. Y. NJ. c. A. B'd'g
Burlington. VT, and ask for their cele-
brated receipt for keeping eggs, the com
pany will send to the first five persons in
each town who send them rs cents i'm
stamps the fun right to use and complete
directions,
on receipt of the % cents in stamps. the
Egg Preserving Company promise to write
the person sending the money, explaining
to them how they can keep the eggs with
out the least chance of their spelling and
with very little labor and at trining ex-
pense.
Eggs preserved by this method look as
if they were laid that very day, and not
even am expert could tell that they were
not The eggs are just exactly as fresh
and good as though they were not day
old.

THEN AND NOW,

One of our prominent grocery mon on
church street came across an old bill tho
other day which is very interesting as it
bears the date of 1867 and the prices of
groceries at that time. Flour sold for $lj
a barrel, oil for so cents a gallon, Japan
tea for Sl7j pound that can now be
bought for 80 cents. GRADUATED sugar
sold for 20 cents a pound. Matches brought
% cents a bunch, which are now four
cents. Molasses was worth 81 a gallon,
which now brings 80 cents, At that time IA
barrel of flour was considered luxury
and was only to be found in the homes Of
the wealthy, but it is now abundant at
$40 to S. a barrel.
