The Peoples Lamps.

Prof. Frank Parsons, lecturer in the
Boston University Law school, has made
a statistical study OF the question OF light
ing cities by electricity, which is worth a
good deal more than the cost of the June
Arena IN which it appears. 1t is the
most striking, although inoffensive, look
ing economic document which has ever
been put into the hands OF American citi.
zens and taxpayers, who find every form
OF public service so costly because poll
ticians and ringsters must live high.
Professor Parsons makes very few critical
comments, but his authenticated tabu-
lated statements are damning evidence Of
corruption and bribery and robbery in
municipal councils. Taking the returns
OF the city engineers and the census,
Professor Parsons finds the most extraor-
binary comparisons in the cost OF light
ing. The comparative cost OF lighting in
cities, all within short distance OF each
other in the same state, is extraordinary
and instructive. 1t shows that what gov
erns the cost of electric lighting Is law
higher than any known to economics
the law OF picking and stealings, as in
terpreted by our political bosses.

Pastor pratt's Forty Years, Work.

The very pleasant exercises in Dor.
set church on Wednesday morning
May 80, to commemorate 40 years OF
the ministerial labor of Rev. p. S.
Pratt, will be a choice memory to all
those who were privileged to be pres
ent, as listeners or participators, in SC
unique an occasion.
Mr.. Pratt had come to Dorset in his
32d year from western New York af.
ter a few years ministerial experience
there, and was thus better fitted to
cope with some difficulties that men
aced the prosperity of this church.
His charitable disposition, while
preaching sound doctrine and love for
all as our '.brethren," caused these ere
long to fade away, and before many
months had elapsed he was surround
ed by harmonious and working peo-
pie. Two hundred families and 500
people claimed to look to him as their
guide and counsellor. During this
time he has attended 200 marriages
and 725 funerals, so that most Of those
who had welcomed him to Dorset
have passed away and those who were
then mere children are now his dea-
cons and are staunch supporters of all
good enterprises.
The first settled pastor of the Dor.
set church was Rev. VIM. jackson, in

The Waller Forgeries.

In the Caledonia county court a
st. Johnsbury, June 4th, began III,
case of the Lyndonville Nationala,anl
vs.. Col. {. &. Fletcher OF st Johns
bury before q struck jury and TIL
aplest lawyers in northwestern Yer
mont.
! The case grows out of the forgerie'
committed by Charles L. Wal
ter of st. Johnsbury, who il
now serving a term in states prison
therefor. Col. Fletcher was an en-
dorser of Walters notes to large
amount, Wis: S20,500. One Of these
notes for $4,000 was discontinued by
the Lyndonville National bank.
When it fell due, it was taken up by
Walter by another note for an
equal amount bearing Col, Fetch
er's forged endorsement. The
original note was stamped "paid" by
the bank and was surrendered to Wal
ter, who exhibited it to Col. Fletcher
in proof of payment.
The forgery was committed in jan
uary, 1891, and the other forgeries
followed until they aggregated $500.
At the Lyndonville National bank,
5000, and $4,000 and 81. 000at the
Lyndonville Savings bank, and 81, 700
the Citizens, Trust company of st.
Johnsbury. All these forgeries were
executed with consummate sill. The
notes were for one to three months,
and Walter kept things along by TAX
ing them up as they fell due with new
forgeries. The Lyndonville National
bank sued Col. Fletcher to recover on
its $4,000 note. After the testi-
mony was put in, Judge Start in
structed the jury to render a verdict
for the plaintiff in the case of the
Lyndonville National bank VS.. T. G.
Fletcher. The court said an original
note could not be paid by counterfeit
money or forged paper If the re-
newal was genuine the defendant was
liable. If the renewal was a forgery
as the defendant claimed, he was still
liable as the original note had never
been paid. The jury returned ver-
diet for the plaintiff with interest on
the note for SO, 900 since the note fell
due, four years ago. The case was
appealed by the defendant to TIE SUI
preme court.

WHY NOT BUY A FARM I?
A Pointer for the Unemployed of the
Cities.


1t often comes to my mind that it |.
strange that there are people in the cities
OF our land who toll on from day to day
with nothing in their view but two brich
walls on either hand; and who, ii there Ii
dull time in business, must needs be
| thrown out OF employment and depend or
charity or on what they have formerly
saved for their daily bread. Strange that
they stay there still stranger that any
OF our country bred lads should think
that there is no place in the country for
them, but that they must go to the city to
advance in life.
Did you ever hear OF farmer in Yer
mont going without the comforts OF life
No; never. The farmer cares little whether
the factories stop or not; whether the big
business houses in the cities close or not.
1t matters not to him. He can raise all
that he wants to live on. While those in
the cities have been without sustenance,
he has not felt the depression but has
lived on just as before.
Now ii any poor man with few hun
bred dollars in the city would take that
money and come our way, we would
guarantee that he would be happier,
Wealthier and probably wiser than before.
There are farms in this state that can be
bought for almost song. Why do the
owners wish to sell IL they are SO vatuaDle
as an investment you ask. Why !?
Because OF death, or what is more COM
mon-old age; or perhaps their children
have gone to the city and pow the poor
old man, health broken, must let his val
liable farm that has been his home for so
many years 60 to strangers. 1t is fact
that now is the time for anyone desiring
to purchase farm to strike in. Farms
have about reached bottom values and
are sure to increase in value before many
years. That people are taking advantage
OF this is shown by the many salea that
have been made to men from Bost on Ash
land, Breckton and many other Massa-
chusetts cities.
In the county of Windsor there have
been sold as many as rs farms within a
month, and buyers will have to look
sharp or the bargains will be gone.
1t is wrong idea that there are many
abandoned farms in Vermont. There are
none to speak OF, and what there are, like
Noah's ark, are lying on the top OF some
Mount Ararat, or the highest points OF
land in the state. Let US not hear any
more about Vermont's abandoned farms,
but rather talk about her occupied farms
that are for sale. FARMER.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and an
absence OF appetite is an indication OF
something wrong. The loss OF rational
desire for food is soon followed by loss OF
strength, for when the supply Of fuel is
cut of the fire burns low. The system gets
into low state, and is liable to severe at
tacks OF disease. The universal testimony
given by those who have used Hoods Sar-
saparilla, as to its great merits in restor-
ing and sharpening the appetite, in pro-
noting healthy action OF the digestive or
gans, and as purifier OF the blood con-
stitutes the strongest recommendation
that can be urged for any medicine. Those
who have never used Hoods Sarsaparilla
should surely do so this season.
