Sure enough the girl in the picture
had a low cut, sleeveless gown. and her

at her uncle's town she had on . sailor

On, yes. these farmers are cute. -

my brother Ezry and u letter he once got
that shows how cute some farmer sons
are. His oldest boy, he ran off to sea

the books say. The second son, he went
up TO the city and lid well. He soon
became clerk in dry goods stUre ana

easy as could be. an his folks was real
proud of him.
He hadn't been home fer nigh on to

was q real cute teller and he wanted TO
do something original. so what does he

Auditor Merton Bounced.

Fourth Auditor Morton has been
writing scurrilous letters regarding
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle for which the president summa-
rily removed him last Thursday.
1t was also learned that he was re-
sponsible for the contemplate story
circulated in the campaign of 1884 about
Mr.. Blaine's first child having been
born out Of wedlock. 1t was he, SO it
is said, who went to Kentucky and
chiselled date on the tomb of the
child.
Mr.. Blaine's only request of Mr..
Cleveland in his first administration
was that he would not appoint Morton
to any position, but in some way Nor
ton secured Mr.. Cleveland's confidence
and it was only last week that the
president became convinced from
actual proof, that he was harboring 9
traitor and rascal.

hotel quarters after the performance.
He takes pains to mention that he
found her in "evening DRESS" but how

Free Text Books and Profits.

For the past two or three months
battle royal has been fought on Yer
mont soil, the warriors bold being the
contingent of book agents who have
been exercising their powers of persua-.
sion on the benighted school directors
of the state. AS a few who have
kept posted know, the last legislature
passed law making text books used
in the public schools free, and June
was the date fixed for the school direc-
tors to select text books to be used for
the next five years.
For two months Is publishing firms
canvassed Vermont. The publishers
had IS agents at work at first. Then
the number was increased to 125, and
the canvass closed with It's men solicit
ing. The average salary and expenses
per month of each agent is $3.50, max
ing an expense to the companies of
$37 900. Vermont's school officers have
received as presents 240, 900 text books.
The average school attendance is only
$4,000. Who pays for all this expense?
Why, the common, everyday sort of
tax payer of course. Every govern
ment expense comes to that in the last
analysis. Book houses may expend
500, 900 in a heated canvass, but they
get it all back in profits little later in
the game.

Emily Faithful.

Emily Faithful, whose death was an
nounced last week, devoted her whole
life to the amelioration of the social
condition of women. She was4 the
daughter of Rev. Ferdinand Faithful
and was born in 1885 Becoming i'm
pressed by the significance of the large
surplus female population in London,
she began her labors in 1860 by found
ing a printing Office in which women
were employed as compositions. This
enterprise secured the approval of Queen
Victoria, who appointed Miss Faithful
her printer and publisher in ordinary.
In May, 1868, Miss Faithful started a
monthly publication called the Victoria
Magazine, in which for Is years the
claims of women to remunerative en-
ployment were earnestly set forth. In
1868 she published novel entitled
Change upon Change" She also
achieved marked success as lecturer.
In 1928 she visited the United
States. After a tour in America in
1928, she published book entitled
''Three Visits to America"
| In 1883 she was awarded a civil SER
vice pension in recognition of her benef-
cent labors and at the same time the
Queen expressed her appreciation of
her services by sending her an auto
graph letter with specially engraved
portrait.

Hetty Green Sued for 100000

Mary Irene Hoyt, the daughter OF
the late Jesse Hoyt, the steamboat
owner, has brought an action in the
supreme court against Hetty Rowland
Green to recover 100000 for, some al.
legged slanderoTs words uttered by Mrs
Green at the office of Referee Henry H
Anderson. The action is brought
through Frank j. Dupignac, who rep.
resented Miss Hoyt in number of liti
cations several years ago.
The words sued upon in The present
case were part of the side remarks with
which Mrs. Green has ruf1ied the pro-
ceedings before Referee Anderson for s
considerable time. While the reference
was in progress on May 10 it is charged
that Mrs. Green said:
Ibid you ever see such set of buzz
yards? Oh, it is sad to think of poor
Irene Hoyt. Joe Choate and the Other
buzzards got hold of her, and she is in
an asylum now. Darling was the stal
witness for Choate in that case.o
Miss Hoyt says that. the remarks
were false and malicious, and that they
were widely circulated by the news
papers.

scales are correct. She doesn't like Gig
arettes little bit, but has to smoke
them in the play because the book says
SO. If Brother Belknap approached
her on the tender subject of her age he
fails to record his success, but quite
likely if the subject was preached he fol-
loved A. Wards example and looked
at her teeth to verify her words. The
careless reader might conclude that the
brother is an old hand at this business,
but we suspect that he is not, for when
the actress asked him if he had ever

ringing up the bell-boy he says that he

Speaking of the movement the Bos-

"There are to-day in the United States over
100000 unmarried women between the ages
of 40 and 60. There died in the war, on the
field, in hospitals and in prisons, over &C.,
900 men, counting those who were mustered
out and came home to die. OF these soldiers
north and south, more than 80 per cent were
unmarried, and more than 95 per cent were
under 80 years of age. Death had no such
sweep at the women, who, in the natural
course of events, would have been the wives
of these young soldiers, and so they survive
the brevet war widows of the heroic dead

Lips that Touch Liquor.

Father Lynch, Catholic priest in
Danbury, Conn, with the assistance of
st. Peters Temperance society COM
posed of young ladies, is waging war
on the so or more saloons in that bTrgh.
1t is said that the business men of the
city oppose the movement because,
unless stopped, it will make Danbury
a prohibition town. That would be
terrible, the home of the Danbury
News man, prohibition town ! Perish
the insinuatiOn.
1t further appears that the president
Of ST. Peters society, Miss Maggie
Drum, is complaining louder than the
business men are, but for different
reason. The business men oppose the
movement because it touches their
pockets, and Miss Maggie Drum raises
a wall because the pledge of the order
is not fiat-footed enough to suit her
ideas of proprety. The members Of
the order have made solemn pledges
never to marry men who drink, but
IlllS uoCS IOl ~ ldl CllOuSl W suit luC
amiable Maggie. She is not satisfied
with making old maids of the Jealous
angels who compose the society ; her
vaulting ambition knows no bounds.
Miss Maggie Drum can be indicted
on several counts. She is hereto and
takes no stock in woman's boosted
influence over man. She will not let
one of the innocent lambs of st. Peters
society marry drunkard with the
Christian purpose of reforming him.
She is guilty of an objectionable sin
against aristocracy. She infers that it
is commendable for the rich to work.
She says
1.-THE town of Danbury used to be very
prosperous. All the women worked in the
hat factories and even when families had
got quite rich they kept up the old custom of
going to work, finding it more profitable to
pay servant girl to attend to their house
hold duties
The irate president of st. Peters
charges the young men with being
shiftless, thus shocking decency and
doing violence to truth. She says:
This habit of Danbury girls has hal a
very bad effect on some of the young mar
ried men. They found that their wives could
earn enough money to keep the house going
and to maintain them in idleness, and that
is the crying scandal we are fighting.
Miss Maggie Drum is also guilty OF
running athwart good medical author,
ity when she says:
"This drinking which is so widespread in
Danbury, is, believe, hereditary. In olden
times the hatters, who made good money
could afford to buy both whiskey and beer
Now they can't afford to buy both, and sc
they give up the whiskey. Their sons have
inherited the taste for rum, without the
money to pay for it."
Danbury is certainly in a bad, bad
way and were it not for Miss Maggie
Drum might like Sodom and Gomor.

Two notable conventions were held

Two notable conventions were held
last week, one was the Democratic state
convention held at Springfield, ILL.,,
and the other the Republican state con-
vention held at Louisville, KY; the one
declared for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to | ;
the other adopted the following: eve
are opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and believe in sound
currency and in the Use of both gold
and silver, provided that dollarin one
is made precisely as valuable as dollar
in the other, gold being the standard"
These are straws which show which
way the current tends. In 1896 the
Democratic party will be the party of
free silver, and the Republican party,
the party of bimetallism. Politicians
may avoid the issue, but ridicule and
sarcasm avail little. The fact remains
that the great body of the people de-
mand that silver shall be given an equal
chance with gold as monetary stand
ard. They may not be logical, but
they will be able to vote with deadly
execution.
