THE BROWNIES.

Palmer Cox and his Brownies were
the attraction at the Grand Opera
house last night and drew out a very
large attendance of San Antonio's best
people. The Brownies are as old as
the celtic peat boys, yet last night gave
San Antonio theatre patrons an entire
ly new program of amusement in seem
cry, scenic and electrical effects, extra
vaganza, ballet and dancing, etc.
The program was lengthy and very
interesting throughout, but to mention
particular numbers only would be to
do injustice to the whole. The enter
tainment must be attended to be fully
appreciated and enjoyed.
The company will be seen tonight, to-
morrow matinee and night.

Secretary Wilson asks congress TO give
him the authority and the money to en-
ploy a number of microscopists in the
inspection of butter, fruit and other
farm products intended for export If
he can have his way every article of food
that is shipped to a foreign market will
carry certificate that it has been micro
scopically examined and found to be pure,
unadulterated and healthful. There is
an immediate necessity for some such
supervision of the foreign trade in but
ter, which is rapidly increasing and
is likely to become very profitable. But
the results of the patient and exhaustive
efforts which have been put forth by the
secretary of agriculture are apt to be
destroyed at any time by unscrupulOuS
exporters who may undertake to send
abroad butter that is adulterated or 9th
erwise impure. Secretary Wilson is de-
termined to prevent such disaster, and
while he realizes that the exporters OF
butter will grumble at the extra trouble
and labor that is put upon them, he i
confident they will soon find that tht
results will justify his acknowledging

How Our Lively Little Neighbor Is Keep

We have heard it intimated-but how
true the intimation is we cannot say
that several prominent men have plan
ready to organize a company for the
purpose of constructing and operating
an electric road to run from Nergennes
through Addison and BridpOrt to Chimney
Point, and from Nergennes through
New Haven street to Bristol. As we
understand it the Vergennes Electric
Light company are to furnish the
power. Such a road, especially the
Chimney Point portion, would open up a
section that would undoubtedly give the
company paying business. The Bristol
section would be regular Klondilke for
the company during the summer months
providing car was run from here to the
lake each Sunday morning and return in
the evening. Arrangements are
being perfected whereby this village will
have an electric fire alarm. 1t is intend
ed to have electric bells in the houses of
all members of the Munsill Hose COM
pany. to be connected with the hose
house. Two or three stations will also
be established in different parts Of the
village, where alarms can be turned in,
The members of the Munsill Hose com
pany are the movers in this scheme,
they doing it at their own expense. The
company has thus set an example which
ought to be encouraged, in financial
way, by the taxpayers of the fire
district. Britsol is to have an
other wood working mandatory which
it is expected, will furnish employment
to from ten to twenty people the frs
year. A. L. Cain is the mover in this
matter and has leased piece of grounC
corner of Maple and Pine streets. H'
will soon begin the construction of {
mill 30 by 60 feet, one story high
Also a building for an engine house

THE VERMONT REVENUE
What This stale Pays into Uncle Sans
o..crs-Comparisons.

What This stale Pays into Uncle Sans
Cu.crs-C Companions.
A Washington despatch to the Free
Press says: Nermont's tribute to Uncle
Sam for her pipe and tipple is not a
large figure. The statements of the
commissioner of internal revenue show
that the state paid last year taxes to the
amount of S21 ,900.40, while the whole
internal revenue district, which COM
prses Maine, New Hampshire and Yer
mont, paid the large sum of S4O3, 1892.
But New Hampshire, which has the on
ly distillery in the three states. paid the
lions share of this sum-S33S, 1S9.l3-
and Maine paid S43. .029 10, but more than
twice what Vermont paid But this is not
record to be ashamed of, for il means
the amount of money paid, generally
for special liquor taxes and the like.
is easy to understand from these figures
why the state of New Hampshire nearly
always gets the collector of internal rev.
enue for the district and why most of
the deputy collectors are chosen from
the Granite State. The amount of taxes
collected entitled the collector of the dis
trict to a salary last year of S3375. There
was only one Illicit still seized in the
three states during last year, and that IL
licit still was seized in Vermont.
The number or registered tobacco man.
ufacturers in Vermont last year was
eight against seven the previous year.
New Hampshire has only two such
manufacturers and Maine has only one.
The number of cigar manufacturers in
the three states is $50 as against lGG the
previous year. Peddlers of tobacco and
snuff in the three states number 30. The
$50 manufacturers Of gars consumed
35S, $40 pounds in the making of cigars
last year and 3S5 hounds of tobacco in
the making of cigarettes. The number
of cigars made was 5,2Sl So and the
number of cigarettes SG,3l5.
There are many NermOnters who pay
special liquor taxes to the government
The retail liquor dealers in the state who
have government licenses are 575, bu
there are no wholesalers holding govern
ment licenses. There are 1876 retailers Of
malt liquors who hold government
licenses and % wholesale dealers in mai
liquors who hold licenses from the gov
ernment. This makes the total number
of special taxpayers in the state 7o4
Maine has l154, and New Hampshire
1880. The populous state of Massachu
setts has 5lS7 special taxpayers.
A curious fact shown by the commits
sioner of internal revenue is that stat'
like Maine, with little internal revenue
collections, should have many time
more cases of violations of the law thai
Vermont and New Hampshire combined
In Vermont the number of suits begul
during the year for violations of the in
ternal revenue laws was only II, and si'
others came over from the previous year
Eleven of these cases were settled durin!
the year.

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS MORN

Calm on the listening ear of night
Comes heavens melodious strains,
Where wild Judpa stretches far
Her silver mantled plains;
Celestial choirs from courts above
Shed sacred glorios there;
And angels with their parking Tyres
Make music on the air.
The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,
And greet from all their holy heights
The day spring from on high;
Ger the blue depths of Galiee
There comes "a holier calm,
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.
"Glory to God '' the lofty stains
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn iov
Der Judah's sacred hills
"Glory to God" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on earth; good will to men,
From Heavens eternal King"
Light on thy hills, Jerusalem,
The Savior now j. born;
More bright on Bethlehem's Joyous plains
Breaks the first Christmas morn;
And brighter on Moriah's brow,
Crowned with her temple spires,
Which first proclaim the new born light,
Clothed with its Orient fires.
This day shall Christian lips be mute,
And Christian hearts be cold:
Oh. catch the anthem that from Heaven
Ger Judah's mountains rolled
When nightly burst from scrap h harps
The high and solemn lay
"Glory to God! on earth be peace;
salvation comes today"

WANTS A BETTER LAW.

\ Correspondent Thinks Vital Statistics
should BE More Carefully Kept.
To the Editor of the REGISTER: Sir
have today had occasion to examine
the records in the town clerks Office in
this place for the name of child born
here early in the present year. The rec
ord bears the entry of % children born in
Bridport since Jan. l, and | am surprised
to discover that the name of the child is
given in only one instance. Upon inves-
tigation | learn (Sec. 6, Act Sc of the
general assembly, 1866, that the report
to the town clerk is required to be made
within ten days after the birth of child,
hich in most cases is before a name has
zen selected: also that If name has
len selected that no space is provided
for it's insertion in the blanks prepared
according to the act itself by the state
department
can easily imagine that this improved
- method for securing vital statistics
may result in much confusion and dissat-
isfaction in the near future, and especially
IN the many years to come. The atten-
ton of some "skilled legislator should
be called to the present faulty law, that
suitable measures may be taken to per-
feet the records of 1887 and 1898, by the
next legislature, that more complete
Identification may be obtainable a hun
dred years hence of the Johns and Jims,
the Marys and Susans of the crops of this
year and next, and that the very impor-
tant insertion of the Christian name may
be made in the records thereafter.

If the emperor of China has any sense
of humor or Justice he will call the at
tention of the emperor of Germany to
the fact that the two missionaries who
were killed by a mob for erecting a
Catholic church upon the ruins of a
Buddhist temple belonged to the order of
Jesuits, who were expelled from the
German empire several years ago for
teaching pernicious doctrines and inter-
fering with the peace of the people.
Nevertheless the German emperor de-
manded as an indemnity for their murder
the execution of the ringleaders of the
mob, the restoration of the church and
missionary buildings, the degradation
and punishment of the governor of the
province and the chief officials of the
city, the payment of $500 900 in cash,
the cession of $40 square miles of terri
