A Grant Demonstration,

1t was Grant day il New York yester.
day over one million visitors were in the
city to do honor to the memory of the
greatest general of modern times.
Gen. Horace Porter was the orator OF
the day, but President Mckinley was pres
ent and made short address. The fol-
lowing is short abstract of what be said
''Fellow citizens, a great life, dedicated
TO the welfare of the nation, here finds its
earthly coronation. Almost twelve wears
have passed since the heroic vigil ended
and the brave spirit of Ulysses S. Grant
fearlessly took flight. The great heroes of
the civil strife are for the most part no
more, but those remaining grow dearer to
us. A great life never dies Grants ser
vices and character will continue undimin-
ished in influence SO long as liberty remains
the cornerstone OF free government and in
tegrity Of life the guard of good citizen
ship. Victorious in the work which, under
divine Providence, he was called upon to
do, clothed with almost limitless power, he
was yet one of the people, patient,
patriotic, just. It's right that Grant should
have memorial commensurate with his
greatness. New York holds within its
keeping the precious dust of the silent
soldier, but his achievements are in the
keeping of seventy millions of American
citizens, who will guard the sacred heritage
forever and forevermore.m

The Springfield Republican of yesterday
says: The question as to who will serve as
village bailitfs for the coming year seems

was held Saturday night to file nominations
in place of the four who had declined. The
names of four members of the old board
were filed, each having reluctantly consented.
They were f. L. Parker, John Calvin, j. j.
Eckles and c. H. Thompson. When it was

Liquor Dealers and the Iojunction.

Last Saturday Chancellor Loveland
Munson handed down decision against
certain liquor dealers in Burlington which
may prove OF far-reaching Importance. On
the prayer Of the states attorney for Chit
tenden county he granted temporary in
functions against nine places where intoxi-
eating liquor had been sold in violation of
laws The injunction will stand until the
final hearing of the cases in chancery
court
The penalty for violating the injunction
is found in the Vermont statutes, section
1925, as follows: .'-and any person
violating the terms of an injunction granted
in such proceedings shall be punished as
for contempt by fine of not more than
$1,000 and not less than $500 or by i'm
prisonment for not more than six months,
or by both such fine and Imprisonment, in
the discretion of the chancellor

A Sad Slaughter.

The following news item gives some
idea how tame the deer are in Vermont
under the protection of the law.
The peculiar thing about Vermont deer
is their unusual tameness. They have been
seen drinking sap from the buckets in
Plymouth maple orchards, and give other
evidences of remaining tame. Three were
recently driven into small pond by cur
dog. The doe lately captured at Rutland
could hardly be persuaded to leave her
human friends when they took her to the
woods to set her at liberty.
Next fall there will be an open season
for the first time in many years. Reckless
hunters from all over this section of the
United States and Canada will rush into
the state for the hunting. To shoot ami
mails as tame as these will not be sport but
slaughter.

Minister Angel on Turkey.

James B. Angel, president of the Uni
versity of Michigan and President Nc
klniey's appointee as minister to Turkey,
was interviewed last week. He stated en-
phatically that he had no doubt of Turkey
ultimately winning and declared that, if no
outside interference occurred, Greece
would be totally annihilated. He expressed
the highest confidence in the fighting quail
tiles of the Turks and said that Greece in
stalking all on one decisive blow had risked
her existence.
When asked why the powers did not at
tempt to pacify Turkey as well as Greece
he expressed the opinion that they we're
afraid OF Russia. He said it was Russia
policy in encouraging Turkey to bring on
general embodiment. in which Turkey
would be annihflated and eventually come
into the cars possession. He thinks it
highly probable that all of Europe will be
involved in the war.

FOOTWEAR MEYERS.


Never wear shoe that pinches the
heel.
Never wear shoe or boot tight any,
where.
Never come from high heels to low
heels at one jump.
Never wear shoe that presses I'D
into the hollow of the foot.
Never wear a shoe that will not al
low the great toe to lie in a straight
line.
Never wear shoe or boot so large
in the heel that the foot is not kept
in place.
Never wear leather sole Innings to
stand upon; white cotton drilling or
linen is much better and more health
full.
Never wear a shoe with a sole mar
rover than the outline of the foot trac-
ed with a pencil close under the round
ing edge.
Never wear a shoe or boot that has
depressions in any part of the sole to
drop any joint or bearing below the
level plane.
Never wear a shoe with a sole turn
ing up very much at the toes, as this
causes the cords on the upper part of
the foot to contract.
Never have the top of the boots
tight, as it interferes with the action
of the calf muscles, makes one walk
badly and spoils the shape of the
ankle.
Never wear one pair of shoes all the
time, unless obliged to do so. Two pairs
of boots worn day at a time alter
nately give more service and are much
more healthful
