LIVELY TIMES AHEAD.

The New York Sun has been call
ing attention to the subject of the
bad English used by people who
ought to know better, and has pro-
posed a remedy which ought to
make things interesting for awhile.
1t asks as step number one that
judges shall watch closely the lam
guage OF lawyers who argue cases
before them and rebuke those who
violate the rules of grammar, and as
step number TWO that any lawyer be
empowered to cell the attention of
the Judge to any grammatical error
into which he may fall while charg-
ing the jury, or in the giving of an
opinion. In this way, the Sun
thinks, the desired reform could be
promoted without friction. We are
not so sure of it, Situations might
arise in which there would be friction
enough to cause some heat. The
course OF law is slow enough as it is,
but what would happen it the court

Teachers are also under the ban for
the use OF bad English, and it is
quite true that Improvement is de-

better themselves. The church is
not to be passed over by this wave
OF reform, and the Sun suggests that

ST. JOHNSBURY TROTTERS.

w. A. Taplin has racy account of the
recent trotting at st. Johnsbury
i'll the American Horse Breeder, and
lovers of horse flesh will be interested in
his comments:
Fancy Medium, a beautiful bay mare
owned by William Mclaughlin, showed
remarkably well, being level and sure.
This is the first time she ever heard the
bell ring, and good judges think she act
ed grandly. She was drawn after the
third heat.
Corbett, an elegant chestnut stallion
owned by our genial friend, w. S. Rus
sell of East St. Tohnsbury, deserves great
credit, this being his first appearance in
company. He is four years old, got by
Golden; dam, a beautiful daughter Of
Henry S. If nothing happens, you will,
in my opinion see a good 2.30 horse

on the farm rather than on the track.
The tree-tor-all pace was great race

etc, but was easily won by the game

Moulton. Golden ID 1924 as a four
year old) showed himself to be one of
the best young campalgners ever started.
He must be counted as No. / race
horse, as he held his place finely, being
among old timers. He is owned bv our
fancy painter, w. n Randall who has
reason to be proud OF such fine speci-
men, and is grandly driven by A. D..
Osgood and cared for by Fred Robinson.
He was pushed by Grassmere, who is a
grand individual and sure of low mark
Lyndon Boy, owned by the old-time
engineer, Henry Mower, was No. 1. He
was beautifully rated by John Moulton,
and won grand good race, equaing
his mark, which was great considering
the track and his first race
Henry's Boy, three-v ear-old stallion,
by Gen. w. w. CIRCUITS Henry S., won
a grand race, and showed himself to be
race horse. 1t would be well to keep
an eye on him, as his work will be near
2.2O before going into winter quarters.
He was trained by his owner, F. b.
Lang, who deserves credit in bringing
out such grand colt in very short
time

SUMMER HOMES.

The State Board Of Agriculture has
issued pamphlet prepared by Victor
J. Spear, statistical secretary, giving
a list OF desirable farms and summer
homes which are obtainable in Yer
mont. 1t should prove advantageous
to those looking for such places as
well as those seeking to dispose of
them, and as it sets the matter in a
very good light pictorially and de-
scriptivcly, there should be some
benefit to those interested. Besides
the farms without tenants for the
house, there is list OF hotels and
their charges, which should prove
useful. Vermont is doomed" in this
little publication, and that is as it
should be. There are thirteen farms
for sale in different parts OF Caledonia
county, and any one looking for in
formation about them should secure
copy of Vermont, its Fertile Farms
and Summer Homes" which deserves
a large circulation.

Murders, suicides, fires, burglaries,
and accidents have SO largely filled
the New York papers of late that SEN
Sltive people refuse to read them.
Sensible people also prefer to let them
severely alone. Perhaps hot weather
may have something to do with this
dreadful epidemic, but it is primarily
only the natural result of the morbid
intell,cts and vicious instincts fos-
tered by the unnatural conditions OF
life which our high state otcivilzation
has produced.

1t is some what remarkable that
close upon the news Of the suicide Of
Admiral da Cana, the intrepid leader
ofthe late revolution in Brazil, should
come the intelligence of the death
from fever of ex-president Peixoto,
against whose high-handed acts the
former conducted his Inflated cam
paign. If Brazil were not so full of
turbulent spirits, it might be hoped
that now peace might smile on that
beautiful land, but it does not seem
probable that tranquility will long
prevail under any circumstances
among the hery-blooded Spaniards
and Portuguese, who are always
ready to fly to arms for any real or
fanced cause. Brazilian exiles are
now hopeful of being able to return
to their native land, since death has
removed one great obstacle in
Peixoto.

INTERNA TIONAL ATHLETICS.

Harvard, with modesty scarcely
expected, has declined the Oxford
and Cambridge challenge to meet
them with Yale in an interna tional
collegiate contest to be held in Amer
lea, on the ground that she has been
beaten, and does not stand second in
the ranks of university teams. Yale
has accepted the British offer, and
decided to ask the colegians to come
over. She accepts her half of the
challenge, and will meet either an
Oxiord-Cambridge team. or the win
ming team of the two. 1t is to be
hoped that the good fellowship
started last year when Yale paid
visit to her English cousins, will be
fostered, and result in pleasant
meeting this summer or autumn.

MISS MIFFLIN AND MRS. VAN COTI.
The Actress Takes the Evangelist
to Task.
Thinks Priests and Prophets Should
be in Closer Touch With
Humanity.

Miss Annie Mif1lin, a member of the
company now playing at the Clunie Op-
era-house has addressed the following
communication to the Record Union, in
which she criticises Mrs. Van Colt, the
evangelist, for her remarks about ac-
tresses:
Il, with another in sympathy with
myself says Miss Miffiin attended

Mrs. Van Colt, at the Sixth-street
Methodist Church yesterday afternoon,
and as on that occasion she was moved
to speak for her Savior, 1 feel moved
now to speak for my profession and the
many honorable and gifted women 1
have met in it.
Mrs. Van Colt, during her remarks,
or rather her series of anecdotes of
which she was the principal, related
how she had gone forth to preach the
Word From this she went on to say
how strange it had been, as at that
time a woman in the pulpit was
unknown. and that she had never heard
one speak in public in her life, except
upon the stage, and such, she consid-
cred below par This was her exact
language.
From this she went rambling on to
her eXhortation, and-tO do her Justice

irving here, she said to her auditors,
who will henceforth determine to con-
secrate her life to the work in which
she herself was engaged. All who would

to my companion, she said: And you re-

continued: You are one with a strength

Even the intended fattery did not
mollify US. No. instead of being drawn,

between me and such as herself there is
a gulf-an impossible gulf-while such
intolerance and want of Christian
breadth and charity exist among them.
Surely, the world stands in need of
priests and prophets that can come in

ADVENT SUNDAY
The Services Yesterday at st. Paul's

The Services Yesterday at st. Paul's
and the Catholic Churches.
Yesterday being the first Sunday in
Advent and the beginning of the church
year. there were large congregations at
the Catholic and at st. PauPs Episcopal
Church.
At the latter church, in the morning,
Holy Communion was celebrated by the
rector, Rev. q. A. Ottmann, who preached
an eloquent and extemporaneous sermon
appropriate TO the day, taking the words,
at is now high time 10 awake out of
sleep" as his text, it being from the epis-
tie for the day.
He said that it was well on entering
new year, passing another milestone in
Christian life and experience. To review
its lessons, to gather together its ripened
harvest that nothing be lost. Days come
and pass away; we spend our years as
tale that is told-children at school as yet
the time is rapidly fastening when life.

end, will confront US all. 1t is now high
time TO awake out OF sleep, the sleep OF
the sloth in spiritual things, and TO ac
complish more in the new year than had
been even attempted III the one just
closed.
The rector spoke of the prosperity of
the parish, the increased attendance at
the services, and the activity OF the va
rious organizations tor parish work.
The musical portion of the services
were specially adapted TO the season, the
choir, under the direction OF the organist
and director, Mrs. A. L. Pinkham, rend
eriug the anthem, Blessed Be the God
and Father (Wesley), the introit, IRE

gone together in Sacramento. Indeed,
wherever he has appealed alike to the
critics and the masses. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle says of him:
'Musin stands beyond any comparison
with any violinist who has played in this
city. He stands abreast of the few who
in all times have surpassed all other per-
formers on this wonderful little instru-
ment. His technique, of course, is of the
very highest perfection, but behind that
is that indescribable something that we
call genius. He draws from the strings
the notes in all their fullness and breadth
of tone, and they come with that intangi-
BILE quality of sympathy which carries
every sound direct to the soul of the
listener"
This number is the second of the
course, and season tickets are on sale at
the usual places.
