The Editor of Harper's Magazine a Yer
monter.

A Vermonter who long ago won his lit
erary spurs is Henry NJ. Alden, editor of
Harper's Magazine. Mr.. Alden has given
the best years of his life to that publica-
ton, from 80 to 90. His personality has
peryaded its pages, and it has been his aim
to make it a distinctively American maya
zine.
Besides being an editor Mr.. Alden is a
successful author. He has published but
three books: 1.-THE ancient lady of sor-
row." poem, in 1872; "God in his world"
in 1898, and ga Story of death" issued
during the past year. The two latter have
been widely read and received with great
enthusiasm by the critics. Mr.. Alden was
born at Mount Tabor in 1886, and grad
uated from Williams college when he was
%. Then he entered the Andover Theo-
logical seminary, from which he graduated
| in 1860. He lectured before the Lowell in
stitute, Boston, and he wrote for the cat
lantic Monthly" Mr.. Charles Nordhoti
called the attention of the late Mr.. Fetch
er Harper to the young Vermonter, and
he was made assistant editor of Harper
Magazine, and finally, on the death of DR.
Guernsey, the then editor, he was installed
in his place. Mr.. Alden has filled his diff
ficult position with ability and distinction
and, notwithstanding the number of maya
zines that have come into the field since
"Harper's" was established, it has steadily
gained in circulation and Importance.

To Become Il Hospital Nun.

Miss Mary Steere of st. Adams, has en-
tered the order of Hospital Nuns of st. Jo-
seph at Fanny Allen hospital at Winooski
park. The st. Adams Messenger says that
Miss Steere is the first Vermont girl to en-
ter that religious community since the pro-
fession of Fanny Allen at the Hotel Dieu
in Montreal in 1910. Sister Allen, who,
it will be remembered, was daughter of
the famous Ethan Allen, died in 1921.
The order of which Miss Steere is about TO
become member is one of the few relig-
ious communities OF women who take SOL
emn vows and are clustered nuns. In ad-
dition to the ordinary religious VOWS of
poverty, chastity, and obedience, these
nuns also bind themselves to devote their
whole lives to the care of the sick and in
firm. Only one other Vermont girl be-
sides Fanny Allen is known to have be-
come a nun in a clustered community.
She is the daughter of the late Rev. Will
liam H. Hoyt, formerly of Burlington.
After the death of DR.. Purroy, her hus-
band, of New York, she Joined the Do
minican order.

uvnnotie subject buried Alive.

John Hughgill, who allowed himself to be
buried alive on Monday, on the theory of
hypnotic suggestion induced by Prof. Wat
son of London, was unearthed Thursday
at Providence, r. l. Hughgill went to sleep
at 8 30 p. NJ. Monday and was to have slept
until the same time Thursday. But instead
of that he woke up IA minutes ahead of
schedule time. When Hughgill came to he
made it known by pounding upon the cof-
fin, and during his struggles dislocated his
knee pan. When he was brought to in the
tent he lapsed into deathlike stupor, which
the physicians almost mistook for death.
He was taken over to the club house and
rubbed with alcohol and revived. When
he awoke he thought he had been buried
alive, which almost crazed him.

The BurdItt Brothers, Will and Grain
Elevator Burned at Rutland.
Rutland was visited with the most de-
structive fire Monday night that it has
known for many years, the mill, grain ele-
vator and office of Burditt Brothers being
burned, involving a property loss of S75,-
600, partly covered by insurance. The or
igin of the fire is mystery, although it
was probably due to spontaneous combus-
ton in the confined grain, as the grain
dust in spaces so confined is considered
very dangerous. An odor was detected in
the mill several days previous to the fire
and investigation made but no indica-
tions of fire were discovered. The fire
had been smouldering several hours and
had undermined the building to such an
extent as to make it impossible for the
fire department to save it. Chief Engineer
Hannum was badly injured by a fall on a
cornice while fighting the flames.

Thousands Of Fish KILLED.

Thousands of fish in the Walloomsac
river at Bennington we're killed last Satur-
day as the result of emptying the contents
of an old gasoline tank into the water.
When the gasoline first covered the water
the attempts of the fish to escape made
the surface of the stream appear as though
a hail storm was falling upon it. At the
sides of the stream where there was but
little of the gasoline, the exhausted fish
could be taken up in the hands. Among
the fish killed were many large trout, and
several other species. The gasoline went
through quantity of goods that were be-
ing washed in the river water at the Hol-
den, Leonard & Co. mill. 1t was at first
thought that the loss on these goods would
be quite heavy, but repeated washings
may remove all traces of the gasoline.
Many people living in the vicinity of the
stream, were disagreeably affected by the
strong odors of the gasoline.
