Miserable Lives Made. Happy.

Ill health brings misery into our lives and
into the lives of others. Continued physical
weakness that the family physician cannot
drive away brings serious forebodings, de-
preston and gloom. Great numbers Of peo-
pie live out their lives under these hard con-
dltions because the underlying cause of all is
beyond the reach of the treatment known to
the ordinary practitioner. 1t takes a special
lst like DIR. Greene to cope with these
despairing cases. This distinguished physi-
clan is the most successful and experienced
specialist in the world, and he offers consul
tation and advice absolutely free of charge.
his discoveries in medicine are truly wonder
full. One of them is the world-famed Ner-
vura. They are so nicely adjusted to repair
the waste Of the system, so potent in their
general influence, and so permanent in their
beneficial effect that no claim seems too
broad for them. They will positively cure
all of the diseases which aff1ict mankind,
and the enthusiastic thousands who owe to
Or. Greene their present comfort, and in
many cases life itself, are living evidences of
his unvarying success.
DIR. Greene's Office is at "a Temple Place,
Boston, Mass, and all may consult him either
by personal call or by letter through the mail,
and in either case his advice is given without
charge.

Central Vermont May be All Right.

A St. Adams dispatch says: It begins to
look as if the big fight for control of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad system, which was APP
parently settled in favor of the Grand Trunk
at the recent bondholders' meeting in Bos-
ton, may be re-opened.
The announcement is made that Hon.
Richard Olney, Charles U. Getting and b. 2.
Cheney, trustees for the estate of the late
Benjamin P. Cheney, and the trustees of the
estate of j. r. Langdon have withdrawn the
bonds of these estates from deposit under the
proposed reorganization plan.
The amount of first mortgage bonds owned
by these estates is about 100000. 1t is under
stood that other bondholders have also de-
cided to withdraw and that steps have been
taken to promulgate an entirely new plan of
reorganization, whereby the first mortgage
bondholders will be adequately protected.
1t will be recalled that, while the vote in
favor of the so-called Grand Trunk scheme
of reorganization was adopted at the recent
meeting by a decisive vote, only $780,
800 out of 100000 bonds outstand-
ing were voted, the Cheney holdings not be-
ing voted at all.
Those who are engineering this new oppo-
sition are not yet ready to make public their
exact plan of campaign, but they appear to
be very much in earnest and it is likely that
the next few days may bring forth some in :
teresting developments.

Vermont News.

Joseph Battello Middlebury has resigned
the presidency of the national Morgan horse
breeders association, giving as his reason for
so doing that as the organization holds its
meetings so far away. he cannot work
with it to good advantage. he says he can
better serve the cause for which the organiza-
ton exists through the Vermont Morgan
horse breeders association, of which United
States Senator Proctor is president. The
membership of the latter association is made
up of over 100 influential men and prominent
breeders from all over the country. Mr.. Bat
tell has also withdrawn his membership in
the national ass ocation.
The recent election in Iowa is specially in
teresting to Vermonters because Of the fact
that Gov.-Elect Shaw is native of this state.
1t is also interesting to note that his vote was
the largest ever cast for republican candi-
date for governor of the state, it being about
l6, 900 larger than the largest ever cast before,
and that with the exception of the vote cast
for Mckinley last year it was larger than any
vote ever cast in the state for republican
candidate for president. The democratic vote
in the state has only once exceeded it-when
Boies was candidate in 1891. Shaw's total
vote was about 225, 900.

fellow ministers. The church to which Mr..
Martin has been called is considered the
foremost of the 100 Presbyterian churches in
Philadelphia, and has the names of some of
the most wealthy and aristocratic persons in
the city enrolled as members. The church
which he leaves has grown in membership
from 200 to 700 during his pastorate and a
new church edifice-ope of the finest in st.
Louis-has been built through his efforts, at
cost of $4,000. DR.. Martin began his
work as a clergyman in Brattleboro and was
pastor of the Center church five years. He
then spent year in Brockton, Mass, going
to St. Louis in 1884. sfN
