Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1897-07-09

Jeremiah r. O'Sullivan, the young
newspaper publisher who was sentenced
to Is months Imprisonment for libelling
city officials of Lawrence, Mass, was par
doned Friday by GOV. Walcott. O'Sulli-
van had been in prison only a short time,
but his health has failed rapidly, and he
has been greatly weakened by hemor
rhages. Physicians were of the opinion
that his life would be endangered by
further imprisonment. O'Sullivan may
not have been mendacous in his attacks,
but he thirsted after sensationalism, and
his zeal in behalf OF the poor people was
not tempered with Judgment.

The railroads OF the West report a de-
cded change for the better in the past six
weeks. Crop reports in most sections are
favorable for a good yield, and general
business conditions are the best in five
years. Unless there is a crop disaster, in
dicatons point to the largest general
movement of merchandise that the rail-
roads have experienced in nearly 20 years.
There is a disposition to stock up with
goods, and this means more business to
the railroads. While rates in many in
stances have not been as good as a year
ago, the railroads on the whole have been
able by judicious management to largely
increase their earnings.

attended TO and In manner that was
apparently satisfactory TO every one
present
Prof II. w. Rug0 opened tho pot

for the honor 1t had paid him in electing
him as president of the Universalist
Club. He said he could not understand
why the honor should be paid him, but
that he should I'll the position 10 the best
OF his abilities. he believed IN clubs and
was member of several. He believed in
them because they brought men together.
The good that clubs can do is great, but
the club Is not the place to preach doc
trinal sermons. Still we do not want To
think so little of Unlyersslsm that we
are ready to adopt everything that may
come along. Referring To the nearness of
Christmas and of the thoughts that
naturally come to our minus aud of the
meaning of them to us and their influence
on Us, IL was fit TO turn to Japan and see
how the light of that Same Christianity
was breaking there.
In introducing Rev. III. Yoshimura OF
Toxic, Japan, MIR. Rugg said he took
great pleasure in being able to present 10
the club the ilrst native of Japan TO be-
come a Uniyersalist minister.
