A Woman's Plea for cnarltv.

Editor Of the Bdnner-I noticed in the
locals of the sO-called Reformer, which if
rightly named should be called Defamer,
little item with regard to the difference
in the growth of Bennington and Brattle-
bOro, which says that the victory that
there were more births in Bennington
than BrattlebOro, is due to lone widow.
If there is an unfortunate woman or man
in this town, trust the Reformer to find
it out and spread it broadcast to the
winds. There is Charity spoken of n
the Bible that thinketh no evil and that
covers a multitude of sins. The widow
referred to is one of Gods unfortunate
ones. Newspaper notoriety won't help
her to build up character, or strengthen
her to do better in the future. God pity
the man who is so short TO: news that he
will print any little hints of SANDER to
fill his columns. l would just like to
say to him that as he is not dead yet, a
man should try to better the world he
lives in. There's an old saying, and
true one, that as We sow so shall we
reap" and ''chickens will leave home in
the morning, but they will come home
at night to roOst." MRS. NJ.

Read SborO

The Springfield says: st is probable
that Readsboro city will be made the
location of one of the largest electric gen.
Grating plants in New England. P. G.
Carpenter of North Adams, Mass has
sold to w. S. Kelley of the Boston gener-
al electric company Howe's pond and
over 500 acres of land situated in Reads
boro. The building of an electric plant
at Readsboro has been in the air for
some time, and this transaction gives
foundation to the rumOr that the Gener-
al electric company intends to establish
large generating plant at Readsboro
city and get the power from Howes
pond. The pond is about two miles from
the city and coYers about 100 acres. A
dam about 10 feet high at the point from
which the pond discharges would make
it cover over 200 acres. The pond is sit
uated between two hills, and is fed from
never-failing streams. Surveys show that
the water would have fall of about 700
feet from the pond to the probable 10.
cation of the plant. If the plan mater
ializes the water would be taken in an
acqueduct to the e nerating station. The
volume of water obtainable and the great
fall would give almost unlimited power.
1t is the idea to generate electricity at
Readsboro and transmit it to No. Ad-
ans, Shelburn Falls or any adjoining

NEWS AND NOTES.

Democratic unity on the currency,
eXclaims the Boston Herald, means a
bill that would ruin The currency. This
is something of a confession for an organ
which has been labOring for 20 years I'M
ceasingly, not to say unscrupIlOusly,t to
give the Democratic party the power to
shape the financial and economic policy
of the United States.
Mr.. Cleveland told Congress that
it was at the requst of the Hawaiian Gov
erment that he laid before that body the
desire of Great Britain to lease Neck
er Island as a cable station. But the
Hawaiian Minister of foreign affairs
states that Hawaii does not want an En-
glish cable. This is odd.
After all their fulminations against
the folly and the costliness of tariff
wars, it has now fallen to the lot of the
Democrats to precipitate the first from
which America has never seriously SUI.
fered.
There is strong suspicion that the
Massachusetts, Reform Clubs Pro
nounced GOODNESS toward civil service
reform is due to an embarrassing dis
Cvvery that no such thing exists in the
lexicon of the second Cleveland Admin
istration.
A petrfied man has been discovered
out in Missouri. 1t is supposed that he
lived ages ago, when the mention of
John q. Carlisle as a Presidential posi-
bility was not greeted by loud laughter
and Republican applause.
Even the most fat-witted Democratic
organs ase beginning to see that the real
trouble is the accommodating deficit.
The Democratic tariff bill does not
give the government enough revenue to
meet its eXpences. That is the root of
the matter.

appetite returned. He stopped taking
the compound. He worked hard and
successfully. He Over-did himself, and

celery compound and this time earnestly.
Two bottles made him well man and
permanently cured him. AS in thou
