The shillalah industry, or the
making of hlackthorn sticks, is be-
coming quite prosperous in Ireland.
Happily the shillalahs are not now
intended, as in the days of Donny-
brook fair, for cracking skulls, as
may be imagined when we mention
that the Duke of York returned
from Ireland with 100 of them to
present to his friends One of the
most Industrious makers of these
sticks is IN old Crimean soldier who
lives in village in Connemara.
Hearing that tho queen suffered
from rheumatism, he sent her mai
esty an exceedingly fine blackthorn
cru!ched ST ok. with a letter guaran-
tc..ag it II be one of the finest and
strongest in Ireland. He has now
hanging in his little shop framed

queen, which were sent him by
order Of her Observation-Disclosures y

Another point, Vermont is UNI
doubtedly rich in mineral resources
and it is time thorough expert ex-
ploration of them was made for the
benefit OF the investors as well as
as the public. A properaly conduc-
ted economic geological survey, pre-
coded by a good typographical SUR
vey, would reveal much that is now
unknown or insuffic,ently understood.
Capital and labor could then pro-
coed more certainly, and there is
perhaps no state in the Union in

The Barton poisoning case is ex-
citing high license and anti-high
license journals to an unusual degree.
The main facts are as follows:
Eugene Jenkins worked hard at
fire the other day to save a neigh
boris goods from destruction and
suffered chill from exposure and a
'drcnchlng. A friend went to a drug
store for some liquor, but the clerk
'efuscd to sell it without adlin,
something to it, so he poured out a
small quantity OF spirits, added some
aconite, and labelling the stuff
'Poison" handed it over the coun-
ter. The purchaser, however, did
did not seem to understand the dead
ly nature of the mixture and Jenkins
drank little of it diluted with
water, perhaps thinking the label
was merely a blind. He died few
hours later'after great suffering.
Was the clerk or the prohibitory
law, or both, responsiblee The
Montpelier Argus says:
''lf it had not been for the fool
prohibition with which Vermont is
afflicted he might have bought a
little liquor of a decent sort, which
would certainly not have contained
so deadly Il poison as aconite, and he
would doubtless be alive to-day
His death is little short of murder"
The Bellows Falls Times is hys-
terically positive that the affair fur
nishcs no argument for high license.
1t says:
50. "The public are informed in hvs-
terical screams that the prohlbitory
law is responsible for this mans
death, and law which causes we'll
meaning men to commit murder is
diagrace to the statute books. All
this idle twaddle; nothing could be
sillier. The conclusions are uuwar-
ranted and without reason"

Queer Marriages,

In southern India, The Indian So

inanimate objects is not altogether
unknown. A man who has lost two
wives and wishes to marry another
will 60 through formal marriage

which is afterward cut down. This
stands for the third marriage, which
is considered inauspicious and the
man feels free to make fourth

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Cut and SIashed by the Senate Ju-
dietary Committee.

Senator Simpson called the first meet
ing of the Senate Judiciary Committee
to order yesterday afternoon, and laid
before it those portions of the Gov
er.nor's message subject to its consid-
Grafton. The portions in ques ton dealt
with the inheritance tax, mob law vio-
lence, appointments by the Governor,
and the proposition to adopt a system of
civil service classification for the State,
similar to that now in effect under the
General Government.
That portion of the message relating
ito the inheritance tax, and which was
the first taken up, reads as follows:
THE tax ON collateral inheritances
is working a great hardship ON charita-
BILE, educational, eleemosynary, relfgi-
Gus and like institutions: and as it is
the spirit of our laws to cherish and fos-
ter these beneficent agencies, I strongly
urge such legislation as will relieve
these and similar institutions, when re-
cipents of bequests. from the operation
of this tax.
