FAST DAY SERVICES.

The union Fast day exercises, held this
morning in Festival hall, were of excep-
tlonal value and interest, and the ncor-
poration into our town life of a small pro-
portion OF the inspiring and helful counsel
would speedily lift ii to lofter plane.
The devotional service was conducted by
Rev. l.. ID. Temple, and l.. w. Hawley
led the singing, an orchestra of several
pieces assisting. Following Scripture
reading and prayer by Mr.. Temple, the
general topic of the day was announced as
The relation of local to national morals. :"
Rev. c. o. Day spoke upon "The first
duty" the duty of making pure the town
life, for the question of the town answers
the question of the whole; but deeper than
all else is the condition of the individual.
whose ideals of personal purity and CON
ceptions of true manhood and womanhood
must be continually lifted higher 1t was
shown how essential it is that the struggle
must be maintained to lift the standard in
public, private and business life, the amuse-
ments, the literature, the education, moral
training, and even the rest-time of the
community
Rev. A. j. Hough, in treating "The
town for the nation" spoke of the SEEM
ing presumption of supposing the remote
and small towns could have effect upon
the great centres; but as the hub of a
wheel, the centre and seemingly essential
part of it, is dependent upon its spokes
and tire for its serviceability, so are the
national centres upon the tributary coun-
try. AS the streams of life flow constant
ly from the smaller towns to the cities, it
becomes essential that they are kept pure.
From the newest city of the far West to

making itself felt; and if we are to furnish
the material which goes into every part of
the nations structure it behooves us to see
that it is of the best. To the town and
country is given the duty of preserving the
types of American life, which the city OBJ
literates. Remember, nation never dies
of heart failure; disease and death begin
in the extremities. The evils at hand in
the towns are to be fought, if victories are
to be gained for the nation.
Rev. II. d. Maxwell spoke forcibly upon
Leadership, showing from all history the
necessity of leaders to carry to success any
great movement or reform. The impossi-
bility of rallying about a principle as an
abstract thing makes it essential that these
principles should become concrete by being
lived and actualized in some great life
about which the rank and file can gather
and thus the possibilities in the masses be
developed.
Jesus, the great leader, was great be-
cause in himself he gathered up and lived
every pure and noble principle, and it was
his life and death rather than his teachings
that have swayed the world as no other
leader ever did or can. The present need
is for strong, intelligent, independent, hon
est leaders in every walk of life. The need
is that every individual be such leader in
his own circle of influence, small or great,
and incarnate the principles of truth and
right.

NARROW GAUGE IMPROVEMENTS

The Central Vermont management, I'M
der the personal charge of Superintendent
Mckenzie, has several important improve
ments planned for the Brattleboro IL
Whitehall road the coming season. These
include three iron bridges, the laying of
$1,000 new ties, and several miles of new
rails. One of the iron bridges is already
on the ground at the Wiliamsville station.
1t is bridge removed from Swanton
where it was replaced by a heavier bridge
to carry the big engines and heavy trains
of the main line. The other two bridges
are, OF were, to be removed from over the
Winooski between Essex Junction and
Winooski, where they are known as the
twin bridges" A considerable portion
of the new ties to be laid are chestnut ties
bought on the line of the New London
road in Connecticut. A second hand To-
connective, which has been bought by the
management, is now in the shops at St.
Adams, where it is being put in thorough
repair and fitted up as a coal-burner to be
added to the equipment of the "little
road" Whether the recent sudden and
unexpected turn in the affairs of the Cen
trail Vermont will cause any change in
these plans cannot now be said,

RUTLAND oUTCLAssED.
The Basket Bali Score 10 TO 4 In Favor
of BrRttleboro

OF BrHttlebOrO.
The Brattleboro Y. NJ. G. A. basket ball
team defeated the Rutland Y. NJ. G.. A.
team Wednesday evening in the armory
before 800 people by a score of 10 to a.
Rutland has a city league of eight teams,
and up to this game had claimed the
champion basket ball team of the state.
The game, though hard and fast, was al
most entirely devoid of any unnecessary
roughness. Many fouls were called on
Brattleboro while one of the queer things
of the game was the lack of fouing on the
part of the Rutland team. Brattleboro
outplayed the visitors at every point, Rut-
land being especially weak in their throws
at the basket. Brattleboro, on the other
hand, excelled in pocketing the ball.
During the entire game the play was a
long rush of the ball by the Brattleboro
boys with quick pass to Howe who, with
leap above the appraised arms, would
quickly place it. Fourteen of the 10 goals
were scored in this way. For Rutland, Bent
ley and Whitcomb did good work, Bottsford
also doing some good rushing. The Brat
tleboro team played together to a man and
showed what snappy team work can &C
complish
The crowd greatly enjoyed watching the
BrattleborOs pile up the scores, and though
the game was little too one-sided for some
the victory was the important thing in the
eyes of most of the spectators, and the
more goals made the more enthusiastic they
became. Edward Fuller, son of w. II.
Fuller, formerly secretary of the local Y.
NJ. G. A., was one of the umpires. The
line I'D was as follows

ABOLISH STOCK EXCHANGES

Il
A moral wave is dominant in the
United States at present. Before it
have been crushed out lotteries, prize
and bull fights, Sunday dissertation,
gambling bells and corrupt and dis
honest officials. There still remain
the greater evil, the stock exchanges.
driving mon to greed, insanity and
suicide, gambling on the whole vast
product of agriculture and running the
farms, and lastly, wrecking railways,
mines and Industries. Tt is impossible
to point at any good ever accomplished
by these exchanges and their bowling
dervishes. They hold no meetings
advocating good measures, as do the
chambers of commerce and mercantile
associations. They possess no in
fuence on any community for morality,
honesty and uprightness. They set no
example of patriotism and manhood.
Their influence on our youth is baleful
and dangerous. They have had their
day, blasting futures gand blighting
hopes. Abolish them. Their level
was never higher than Gutenberg.
To the fate of Gutenberg let them be
consigned. -Neao York Dispatch.

MINNEAPOLIS Tribune: The main
contention on which the tariff Gre
formers" justified the repeal of the
Mckinley act, was that lower tariffs
would enlarge foreign trade and give
us broader markets. Our foreign
trade has certainly been enlarged in
the matter of imports; but the records
show that there has been a general
falling off in the value of our exports
under the operation of the Democratic
tariff legislation. The repeal of reci-
procity was direct blow at the mill
ing and some other particular indus
trles-but the whole Wilson-G orman
bill is an attack upon American indus
try in general. The falling off in the
exports of flour to the reciprocity
countries furnishes the most direct OBJ
jects lesson to Minneapolis business
men, because it is we'll known that the
Touring industry is one of the broadcast
foundations of the prosperity and
growth of this city. While the whole
country suffers to a greater or less ex-
tent from the Democratic tariff legis-
@lation OF the last congress, Minneapo-
lis has been special sufferer.
