every hour to tne city with round |
trip fare of only ten cents, affording |
opport unity to come and go often |
and cheaply. The boats are fine and
the ride back and forth is always
pleasant. During the evening some
of the oats are brilliantly lighted by
electricity, with hundreds of bright |
flash or search lights. The harbor,
day and evening, is alive with small
sail boats, steamers, fishing sloops,
and vessels doing home and foreign
trading. The harbor is one of the
largest and best on the Atlantic
coast. Here is the enormous eleva-
tor-one of the largest in the world
built by the Grand Trunk r. R.,
where in the fall and winter seasons
a great amount Of grain is delivered
to be shipped on the steamship lines
to Europe In the summer season
this traffic goes down the st. Law
renee river.
The islanders here we're formerly
fishermen to large extent and many
small fishing. Since the great de-
cline of the fishing industry along
this coast, owing to the failure of the
supply of fish on the grand banks,
people have been compelled to seek
other occupations. and many are now
fishing for roomers and summer
boarders who formerly fished for
mackerel and cod. The latter occu-
patton is at least safer, if not more
profitable than the former. There
are good roads, street lamps, a long
stretch of sidewalk, hotels, cottages
without number, stores, shops, and
good church with a preacher who
might grace the best city pulpit, and
all things necessary for respectable
living. Making our home with an
intelligent and thrifty Vermont fami-
ly, we have all the customs and COM
forts of a Vermont home with the
advantages of seaside surroundings
and an occasional dip in the salt
water.
Those who are best gratifed by
fishing can find opportunity to fish
for the small frye along the shores, or
sail off in small yachts to fish in the
bays for mackerel, Or deep sea fishing
for cod and halibut. The latter ex-
ercise is accompanied with sea sick
uess US ually, and those who wish to
indulge in this luxury can set out to
sea, rock up and down in the schoon-
er, angle for cod, and be desperately
sea sick, all in one day, for very
small sum of m oney.
There are many Vermonters on the
island at this time. There is large
delegation from West Burke, st.
Johnsbury, Lyndonville, some from
Barre and Montpelier, and others
from different parts of the State.
Massachusetts sends large numbers
! of people here and the hotels and
cottages are pretty we'll filed up.
Expenses here are moderate, even in
| the hotels, where rooms can be had
/ for from 81 to 81 per week. Board
ranges from rs cents to $3.50 per day.
Groceries and provisions are higher
than in Vermont, but not exorbitant-
~ expensive. We recommend this
as good place for rest, recreation,
and for healthful enjoyment.

there will be the usual coaching pa

PROTECTION FOR THE SOUTH.

When Senator McEnery returned to
of Congress, there was a democratic
meeting in that city to congratulate
him on having voted for the Dingley
bill. Such meetings as this will cause
people to believe the statement made
by the linden appeal, a democratic
newspaper in Virginia, that people
are now living who will see the dem
ocrats of the South party of protec-
ton. This paper states that the con-
dition which made free trade the in
terest of the South prior to the war
no longer exists. 1t passed away with
slavery and with the beginning of the
marvellous development and agricul
tural growth of the West and North
west. Under existing conditions of
labor and competitions of labor and
competition the old plantation sys
tenn of the past is no longer praetic
able in the South, and to cling to it's
traditions, its sentiments and its pre-
JUDGES is TO tie the living present to
the decaying corpse of a dead past.
We can no longer profitably be an
agricultural people exclusively. In
addition to our fields we must look to
our mines, TO our forests and, above
all, to our workshops for prosperity
and wealth. We have all the natural
advantages of mines and forests, vir-
gin and untouched and almost un-
known, and we have the muscle, the
brain and the inventive genius need
ed in the workshop. We only lack
proper realization of the changed con-
ditious of our affairs and the wisdom
to foster our natural advantages by
necessary legislative action.

ALL EUROPE INTERESTED.
Outcome Of Ang!o-American Arbitration Treaty
AnxiousIy Awaited

Nav York, Feb. 25.-The Journal
prints the following dispatch from
James Creelman at Paris: The Presi
dent of France received me at the Elysee
palace and talked for half an hour on
the subject of the pending treaty of ar
bitration between the United States and
Great Britain. His guarded declara-
tons indicate how vast and worldwide
are the interests hanging upon the ac-
ton of the American senate. and how
pregnant with good or evil influence the
final decision of America will be. He
said:
This treaty is very important step.
France-all Europe-is watching the
progress of the movement and awaiting
the result with deep interest. We must
first wait to see what the fate of the
treaty will be in he United States. and,
if 1t is confirmed, we must wait to see
how ii will operate. All Europe is wait
ing for that. The principle of arbitra-
ton seems to be strongly supported in
America. and there is evry reason why
ii should appeal to Europe. We are
waiting for the result with very deep
interest" repeated the president. THE
future will depend on that We here in
France watch the course of America as
friends. 1t is only natural that the two
great republics should work together in
all projects that affect the welfare OF
humanity. 1t is impossible just now to
say how the enactment Of this treaty
will be received generally. 1t is grave
step. I desire you to say to the Ameri-
can people, from me. personally, that I
study their affairs and read their news
papers constantly. i have many friends
In the United States and there Is nothing
which affects the interests and happi-
ness of Americans which does not ap-
peal to me. Nothing pleases me more
than to hear of their Sllccessn

A London Palmist.

Every daughter of Eve has hankering
after the occult; therefore make no apollo
gies for the subject Of the following obser-
vations. We are, too, very credulOus, as
most men will admit, and it Is generally
easier for us to believe in a ghost than to
investigate it. On these hankerings and
this credulity hundreds of persons, more or
less clever, trade. Some of them believe
in their own powers and are deeply hurt II
any one hints that they possess only imag
nations. i have had personal experience
with few of these farseeing women, and
they impressed me with their absolute sin
certify. One Is palmist-a chiromancer,
or whatever she calls herself; she tells the
character from the hand, often with star
Ting exactitude; she informs you Of various
incidents Of your past life, of which you
are already very well aware, yet which she
can't possibly know, in a way to raise tho
hair, and she predicts, with Indifferent sue
cess, the future.
She Is the only person ever heard of
who can read names in peoples hands.
Beware, o woman If there be one person
who has influenced your life more than all
others, the name (shall / say his nancy is
written in your hand! 1t is n positive fact
that Mrs. - can read it there, unless,
indeed, one accounts for the mystery on
the grounds usually taken now by the
Psychical Research society, who attribute
everything to telepathy. The palmist told
me ''all things that ever did, (and how
glad / felt they were not worseD and end
ed by spelling out name. She tried to
show me the letters, but l couldn't see any
thing but mass of unmeaning lines and
an irregular o. L turned cold and remark
cd politely, "You are the devil" meant
itasa a compliment, and she took it as such.

which paid, and then left her, full Of

eyelids were made blue, to create the i'm.
preston Of debauchery, and the same color
was continued half way down the cheeks.
Then 1t was necessary to put in the wrin
kles Of the forehead. To do this simply
drew my forehead up into burrows and
then indicated them by dark blue grease
paint. BY this plan, which Is common
one among actors, absolute accuracy Is as
sured. The nose was then colored blue
and decorated with red spots, and the eff
feet was great improvement on the old
method Of all red. The next operation was
the putting on OF the lines from the nose
and those at the corner of the mouth,
which, to give lugubrious expression, ]
ran both up and down. The point of juno
ton of the wig with the face was rubbed
over heavily with flesh color four wrin.
kles were marked on the neck, and the
heavy lines were rubbed in and blended
with the bassc color. The result is seen in
the picture of the character of Nance which
accompanies this The other shows me as
appear before beginning to make up for
the part"
Mrs. Vincent added that, while she was
naturally gratifled Mt the success she had
achieved as the old hag Nance, it was "a
type of character which she did not like tc
play, as an actress has the prejudiccs of
the audience to overcome before the oppor.
tunity is given her to be judged on her
merits So after all, she is perhaps no
more fond of disfguring herself than those
of her sisters of the stage who fail to do II
artistically. LUCY LAWN.

A Harvard Lottery.

AS late as 1906 Harvard college was rails
ing money by a lottery. 1t offered 90, 900
tickets for sale mt So each, with prizes rang
ing from $15, 200 down to 81. "In tho
above scheme" said the prospectus, "the
just expectations of the publick and the
interest of the University have been con-
suited. 1t is worthy the attention of ad-
venturers that the highest prize is nearly
double in value to any that has been drawn
in this Commonwealth for many years
past, though the usual price of tickets Is
preserved. The Managers solicit the pat-
ronage of the publick in general, and of
the friends of Literature and the Univer-
sity in particular, and, considering the OBJ
ject of the Lottery, they will combine the
prospect of gain with the certainty of bene-
fitting the University, and by lending their

the best interests of their country. New

almost exclusively character actress, the

Importance to me as the paint put on my

culiar one that 1 deliberated long time
before deciding just how it should be made

sidered it necessary to wear. They had to
be old and worn. 1t Is not possible to make
new clothes, willfully soiled, appear as
though they had seen hard usage. 1 went
to several secondhand stores and succeeded
in getting hat and shawl at one, the skirt
at another, the waist at another, and SO on

"Then, one evening in company with
some friends, set out for the toughest sec.

my ideal of Nance, and we were about to
return home, when some one suggested an
invasion of the side streets. 1t was happy

might have walked on the stage as Nance
without particle Of fixing over. One who
particularly impressed me was a little the
worse for the liquor she had taken and was
noisily recounting her woes to anybody
who would listen. She had red hair,
which hung i'm heavy, disordered mass
over her shoulders. A little place exactly
mt the crown of her head was az bald as
possible, and this gave her disreputablo
