The Soutte Railway and Steamship
Association has been reCrganized TO CON
form to the recent decision OF the United
States Supreme Court in the Trans Mi.-
souri, Freight Association case. one OF
the nostimportan mt duties Of the executive
board is as defined in the agreement,
''to report to the Federal and State com
missions any reduction in rates by any
illegal device whatsoever, in order TO pre-
vent unjust determinations between per-
sons and localities or kinds OF traffic. The
association thus takes an entirely new
stand. 1t will not itself deal with infrac-
tiOns OF the law by its members, but will
report such offenses to the proper authori-
ties, thereby becoming an instrument for
the enforcement OF the laws upon which
it is founded In other words, if an asSo-
citation begins TO cut rates the other mem
bers OF tire association will Immediately be-
come virtHous and report the innumeTable
iDfraCtioDs of the law which it is pre-
sulned they will be able TO find. Itwoui1
seem that this plan ought to be successful.

Springfield Fair Notes.

The track is in fine condition, Superin-
tendent Holmes says it was never better.
Indications are now that the exhibit will
be the largest and best ever seen on the
grounds.
Remember, no privileges are rented to
games of chance, and no sales of intoxicat-
ing liquors allowed. 1t is clean fair !;
take the whole family and go.
j. c. Barton has again rented the dining
hall privilege and will be on hand Septem-
Der 8, for accommodation of horsemen
who wish to come early.
The American band of Claremont, N
II has been engaged to furnish music the
entire two days. Tuesday evening, Sep
TENDER Ia, they will give a free open air
concert in the square. 1t is without
doubt the best concert band in this section
and patrons of the fair are to be congratu-
lated that this feature has been provided.
The grand feature of the fair this year is
to be the coaching parade, at one o'clock,
the first day. Interest in this is increasing,
and it will far exceed in display anything
that was anticipated at the start. Re-
duced rates on all railroads. Send to l.

That truth is stranger than fiction
is often demonstrated, but Miss Reba
Bryn of North Twenty-first street tells
of an experience that carries off the
palm. Two years ago while travelling
through southern Italy, Miss Bryn lost
a leather satchel. There was quite a
sum of money and some valua Bile
papers in the satchel, but what worried
her most was the loss of her engage
ment ring, which was of very quaint
design, having been the marriage tok-
en- in the family of her fiance for sew
eral generations. Of course every en-
deavor was made to recover the lost ar
ticle. Advertisements were inserted
in all the principal papers of the prov
ince, and, although strenuous efforts
were made, nothing was ever heard
of the satchel.
few days ago. while visiting
friend in West Philadelphia, a street
piano wheeled up before the porch on
which they were seated, and after
playing few melodies a young Italian
girl came up to collect some money.
Imagine Miss Bryn's surprise to rec
ognize her long-lost ring on the girls
finger. Questioning the girl in her ma
tive language brought forth the fact
that her family was from the district
in which the satchel had been lost. Her
father had been a sheep raiser and a
shepherd dog he owned had one day
come in with the satchel in his mouth.
Nc one in the family could read. which
probably accounted for the fact that it
had never been returned. An explara-
of the circumstances, together WI h
a generous reward, restored the RI g
to its rightful owner.-Philadelph.a

A Fight Over Chicken.

James Fitzgerald, 80 years of age, died
at his residence at Bennington Falls at 4
o'clock Monday morning under peculiar
circumstances. Mr.. Fitzgerald and his
son, Maurice, had quarrel Sunday after
noon about the dinner. The young man
wanted chicken, the old man did not. The
young man says that he had been drinking
but that the old man had not been. High
words lasted until after the family, father,
mother and son sat down to dinner, when
it got to be SO hot for the old gentleman
that he left the table. Maurice got up and
threw the old mans dinner out Of the win
dow. The mother became so alarmed that
she went to the back door and called for
help. Mike, Mac and John Powers went
as far as fence but would 90 no farther.
They say they had heard these uuarrels
frequently before and did not want to mix
up IN it. Others say that the wife claimed
that her son was beating his father with a
club After the old man left the house he
told one of the party that there had beer
another row. He started to walk to the
residence OF daughter, mile and hal
away, and when near there fell down. He
was taken to neighbours house and medi
cal assistance summoned and soon after
taken home. He never regained conscious
ness before he died. Investigations this
morning disclose black eye, piece o
skin is off his left cheek and one shouldel
is bruised. The injury to the cheek ma,
have been caused when he fell down. Tn,
young man claims that he did not strik,
his father, that it was only war of word
between them, and has made no attempt tt
escape. The town officials are inyestigat
ing the affair.

OPENING AT VERMONT ACADEMY.
Fall Term Opened Yesterday-An Increased
Attendance and an Awakened Interest
Among Students, Teachers and Friends In.
dictate Prosperous Year.

The school year began at Vermont
Academy yesterday with favorable condi-
tions. The enrolment of students num-
bers about 1875, about 20 of the number
being boys. No term last year could
boast of over 95 pupils, and this healthy
increase in numbers gives the friends of
the institution new courage for the future.
Another thing which argues well for an un-
usually successful year is the spirit of hope
fulness and good feeling which seems to
permeate the institution and even is in the
air. Students, trustees and graduates are
expecting grand results from the enthusi-
astic labors of Principal Ellery, and so far
their expectations have been more than
realized. DR.. Ellery is a young man; he
isn't in the ruts he is hard and enthusi-
astic worker; and his friends believe he
has good executive ability. In short, it is
thought that DR.. Ellery is the man who
can clear away the clouds of financial diff
ficulty, increase attendance, restore har-
mony and good will among all connected
with the school, and raise Vermont Acad-
envy to its old time prestige. To do all
that some expect the doctor would prob
ably have to be little more than human
if, however, he accompanies some of the
things that he seems in fair way to now,
he will prove the right man in the right
place.
The fall term opened yesterday morning
with chapel exercises in Fuller hall. The
hall was well filled with students and Wis
itors, quite number of the alumni being
present. The scripture was read by DIR.
E!lery and prayer offered by Rev. Mr..
Odds of Pawlet A vocal solo was given
by Myron Davis, with piano accompani-
ment by Miss Pope.
After the devotional exercises, DR.. FL
lery made happy little speech. He said
it was great pleasure to meet the old
boys and girls and see so many new faces.
What is school? he asked. Buildings
and teachers are not the school, but the
pupils themselves. Whether we have a
good school depends on you more than on
brick and mortar. and even teachers.
Vermont Academy is going to stand or fall
as you hold it up or drag it down.
What do we mean by education? Pas.
sing study and getting rank is not edu.
cation. Education from its derivation
means leading out of the soul. The pol.
icy of this school is to develop character
our motto is, s.To know the works and
word OF God"

plaintiff in the def ndant company. 1t is
understood that the defense will attempt to
show that an extra hazardous risk was
taken by the deceased who lost his life in
the high water in the spring of 1895 and
that under the terms Of the policy this bars
recovery. 1t is thought the case will come
to hearing in October.

A GREAT SURPRISE IS IN STORE

for those who will go to day and get pa k
age of GRAIN-o. IL takes the place of coffee
at about \ the cost. 1t is a food drink, full
of health, and can be given to the children as
well as the adult with great benefit. IL is
made of pure grains and looks and tastes
like the finest grades of Mocha or Java coffee.
IL satisfies everyone. A cup of Grain-O is
better for the system than a tonic because
its benefit is permanent. What coffee breaks

A good remark somebody made once
Is that il you own books you do not
have to read Them. That is, if you hear
of certain book, you say, II must get
that out of the library and read it." If
yOu do so, it is necessary to read il at
once and return it. If you can buy it,
you read what portion satisfies your par
tlcular want at the moment, and then
there it stands among your other good
friends, always ready, like any real
friend, to serve you at q moments no.
face In any way it can. Indeed, it is a
real friend, because it never deserts you,
never goes back on you, never change,
unless somebody borrows it, and that is
not the books fault. The mere fact that
your room is filed with books is good
KIND of influence. for there is something
III the mere proximity OF books that
makes a chap serious occasionally and
induces him to sit and ponder once in
awhile in the midst of his grind, his
sport, his daily work and his other and
less valuable friends at school or college.
Then, too, in these days, when there
are SO many hundreds of books year
and SO many millions already published,
II Is utterly impossible to try to read, as
the old fellows in the later middle ages
used to, everything that is published.
IL Is Tar better to re-read some good, ia
mllar things again and again. They
are good books, they are your especial
favorltes, and you will seldom fail to
nnd something new in them each time
you read them. 1t gives you little idea
OF how much the writing of them must
nave meant to their author if you can
read them, say, 20 times and still go ON
nnding something you had not succeeded
IN discovering in them before. -Harper's

People Do Read the Papers.

Some persons wonder why engaged
people generally prefer to keep their en-
gasements as quiet as possible until the
day OF the wedding. Perhaps the reason
lies in the results Of a newspaper an
nouncement.
The other day an engagement was
mentioned in one Of the afternoon pa
pers 1t was in the last edition Of the
paper, but early the next morning sew
eral awning makers were at the home Of
the future brides parents, soliciting the
contract for supplying an awning when
the event came of. On the same morn
ing and in the first mail no less than
nall dozen printers and engravers sent
samples OF their work and quoted prices
1or which they would be willing to pre-
pare the wedding cards according TO the
latest dictates Of fashion. During the
remainder of the week milliners, cater
ers, dressmakers. iverymen, furniture
dealers, hardware men and dry goods
merchants made known their desire to

gam prices.-Bunalo Courier.
