OF YE OLDEN TIMES.
Continued from second page.

Elder Aaron Leland, brother to AL
exander and Simeon, was pretty liber,
al in his views for Baptist, and every
body liked him. He represented the
town of Chester at Westminster years
and years ago. He was one time Lieu
tenant Governor of Vermont, and also
one Of the side Judges in Windsor
County Court. The story got back
ahead of him at Chester that he had
"turned his coat" politically speaking,
and when he arrived at the hotel there,
Comfort Dresser's boy got up and walk
ed around the Elder, and after criti-
cal examination of his outside garment,
exclaimed, "The same side of Elder
Leland's coat is out as when he went
awayW
Squire Wait, of North Londonderry,
before he died, told the writer of this
article that he was married by Elder
Leland when he (Mr. Wait) was
twenty-eight years old. His personal
"reminiscences of the Lelands, as he re-
membered them, were interesting to lis
ten to. As near as he could recollect,
the old Coffee House was built four
years before he was married, which
would be in 1918 or 19. Mr. Wait
worked on the main part of the build
ing when it was being erected, so there
is not much doubt in regard to the time
when it was built. The Lelands used
to say, when keeping the Metropolitan
in New York, that they had more help
in their employ than there we're inhab-
itants in the town OF Landgrove.
But the good old days of country
taverns and stage coaches are fast dis
appearing and will soon be numbered
with the things that were. A great
many changes have taken place during
the past fifty years in connection with
the hotel business, in one way and an
other, and man to run hotel skill
fully and successfully nowadays has got
to possess goodly amount Of tact and
ability, to say nothing about thorough
knowledge. of human nature. The
more modern style of hotel manage
ment especially in large towns and cit
les, is most sought for, everything of
an up-to-date nature being adopted for
the comfort of its guests. And
"Whoeer has travelled iife's dull round,
Whereer his stages may have been,
May sigh to think he still has found
The warmest welcome at an Inn"

Yesterday afternoon Bert Davis
was driving horse belonging to d.
d. Wait up street and when in the
center of the square one wheel sud-
denly dropped off, the having hrok-
en- in the hub. This threw Bert out
and frightened the horse so that he
ran. Bert held on to the reins until
he was obliged to let lose through
fear of being dashed against some
stones at the corner of the Landman
store. The horse ran up to the grove
and in attempting to turn IN there
ran the wagon against tree and
freed himself. No damage was done
except to the wagon whici, was badly
used up.

The Seventh day Adventist opened
their campmeeting Tuesday evening.
The attendance, so far exceeds that
of last year, and their numerous white
tents present pleasing and enticing
appearance. The following "Elders"
are present: VIM. Covert and p.
F. Bicknell of Burlington L. H..
Purdon of Rutland; H. w. Pierce,
West Enosburgh and j. f, Jayne of
No. Deering, Me. Elder Geo b..
Wheeler of Boston was with them
one day. These preachers, or elders
as the adventist call them, are SEEM
ingly earnest men and devoted to the
promulgation of their doctrines, and
as they speak entirely without notes
can be listened to with degree of
pleasure even by the wayfarer though
an unbeliever.
The essential difference between
them and other sects is in relation to
the Sabbath and the final disposition
Of the uugodly-1the goats, and as to
the wind-up of mundane affairs.
The Adventists hold to strict OBJ
servance of the seventh day as the
true and holy Sabbath and believe in
the final catastrophe, which may soon
occur, that the wicked will be fired
out-burned up root and branch,
totally annihiated. This, taken all
around, is quite comforting belief
for if there isn't some that deserve to
be burned up our reckoning is wrong,
besides it is much more charitable
and humane belief than the one that
consigns them to everlasting flames
doctrine once believed. This sect
also believe in perfect religious liber-
ty and are opposed to the God-in-the-
constitution party and to all attempts
to oblige men to be good through fear
of the law. This latter is a redeem
ing feature Of their faith.
The prospect now is, unless the
weather interferes, that their meet
ings in this place will be successful
and pleasant.

VOICE OF THE PRESS.

We have supposed Christianity was
the civiliZer and the differentiating
factor in our favor, but now Japan can
build, man and navigate ocean steam
ships as large as any in the United
States navy, and the weapons and
fighting capacities of Europe and Am
erica have been successfully adopted
by pagans. Japan today aspires to
GUST the stars and stripes from the
Pacific at Honolulu. If the 300, 900, 600
inhabitants of China are nodded by
the Japanese conquerer into progress
sive unity, it will make a power three
times as great as Russia and five
times as large as the United States.
It's domain could hardly be circum =
scribed under such conditions. If by
any chance it should invade Europe
Caucasians would again know the
"Terror of Asia" It would be war
marked by cruelties, for if men were
intoxicated by slaughter on the verge
of the continent at Port Arthur, will
they be sober on the Danube? Civili-
zation, therefore, demands the check
ing of the japanese power.-Lynn
Mass Item.
It is said that the Japs threaten to
take Hawaii. That is all right, of

OWING to the continued illness OF
Representative Hit, American poll
ticians are casting about for ex-
Sneaker Reeds selection of the
craftsmanship Of the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs. AS the
Hawaiian question is far from
dead. Mr.. Reeds choice will be
watched with not a little interest
from this side of the water. The
name most prominently mentioned
in event of Mr.. Hit being inca
FACILITATED, is that of Hon. Nelson
Dingley, of Maine. Mr.. Reed might
do worse than appoint Mr.. Dingley.
Although having given most of his
attention to the shipping interests
of the Atlantic coast, Mr.. Dingley
has travelled extensively, and is
man of broad ideas. There is moth
ing striking about the man either
in personality or oratory but, from
the time he was first elected COVER
nor of his state, he has always been
known as a close student, and his
friends regard him as safe leader,
where soundness of judgment and
conservatism are especial require
ments.

WHAT T. 81. Davies said before

WHAT T. 81. Davies said before
the inter-colonial convention at
Ottawa of the Hawaiian Govern
ment's readiness to assist in the
laying of the Pacific cable, we be-
lieve is as true today as it was the
day it was uttered. There is moth
ing very attractive about Neckar
Island, if Great Britain did haveits
eye on the place, and since that
island has been taken out of the
category of possibilities, there
ought not to be further attempts to
pick out barren rocks in the Pacific
as cable station sites. There is GER
tainly no occasion for the promoters
of a cable enterprise to seek some
far-of corner where they will be con-
stantly apologizing for the character
of their surroundings. The proper
plan of Pacific cable construction
is an American link from the
United States to Hawaii, from
which place connecting lines may
be laid to Australian and Ash
attic points. When a bona fde
movement is made to follow out
this plan we can but believe that
no government or corporation will
have reason to question the liber-
atty of the Hawaiian Government.

The Ohio republicans in their
resolutions score the present ad-
ministration for having hauled
down the American flag over Ha-
wall, which appears to be one way
of saying that it should be raised
again. And this is the spirit of
the gathering that has practically
opened Governor McKinley's presi-
Dental boom. Although the gov
ernor lost in the nomination of the
State ticket, his chances are good
for appearing before the national
convention next year with a
staunch following throughout the
western and central States.
