A BOSTON VIEW,


A liquor case of considerable interest
to the good people of Brattleboro, VT, has
just been concluded The defendants
were the proprietors of the American
House and the Brattleboro House, one be-
ing a well-known lumber dealer, the other
the chief of the fire department. On the
final trial both retracted former pleas of
not guilty and pleaded guilty of one Of
fence of keeping with intent to sell and
five offences of selling The states attor-
ney thought the court could not have a
stronger case and asked it to sentence
these men to the workhouse, as it was
within its discretion to do so. The judge
decided, however, that as the defend ants
hadIno notice of the policy of the st ties at
torney to ask for a conviction on the first
offence, he should impose fine for each
count which, with costs, amounted TO near
ly 5000 to each respondent. 1t would
seem from this that while ignorance of the
law cannot be pleaded in excavation of
offences against it, ignorance of the policy
of the state attorney may be, especially in
liquor cases. The workhouse would be
rather heavy penalty upon leading citizens
and hotel propretors for selling liquor to
their guests, but if that is the law why
should it not be enforced? 1t will be in
order now for the states attorney to adver-
tise his policy for a few times in some of
the leading papers. But his successor may
have different policy, and then the law
will hardly be treating all her citizens
alike, nor will the same law have the same
force at different times. Even in so strong
prohibitory town as Brattleboro the liq
uor laws cannot be enforced without being
made ridiculous.

vented her appearance, and Miss Annie
LIGHTER, of the Philadelphia Castle Square
company, was telegraphed for to fill the
gap. One Of the ladies in the audience
remarked that if Mr.. Savage had any more
prima donnas like Miss LIGHTER at the end
of the wire he had better telegraph for
them to come on. This was bit of femi-
nine enthusiasm, but it was warranted to a
certain extent. Miss LIGHTER, although
hurredly summoned and thrust into the
cast, made decidedly good impression by
an agreeable stage presence and a clear,
sweet soprano voice, quite as good as any
that has been heard here lately in light
opera, and much better than a good many
that have been listened to at high priced
comic opera productions.
1.-THE tenor was Mr.. Joseph f. Sheehan,
who has a fairly powerful and naturally
sympathetic tenor voice, lesSened in agree

reached such proportions that sh, has left
Fichburg and her whereabouts are UNI
known save to her intimate friends.
Mrs. f. S. Coolidge, wife of ex-Congress-
man f. S. Coolidge, launched into the Gil
lctte subject at the meeting of the w. G. 7.
U. Tuesday. She said she hoped that the
men would do something, but as they had
failed to come up to expectations, the
women felt 1t was their duty to act.
She then read the heading of the petition,
which was later passed around and quite
generally signed. Mrs. Coolidge said the
women were interested in the movement
for the cause OF purity. The matter has
been in the air for good while, and it was
thought that the women would not have to
do anything about it, but as the men did
not do anything, they, the women, had to.
The support that other organic atoms was
lending to the movement was referred to
and commended.
When the Hayden divorce case came up
in the courts two years ago Mrs Hayden
testified that Miss Gillette was installed in
the Hayden home in 1898 against Mrs.
Hayden's WILL and that the judge rode out
with the typewriter nearly every night.
Judge and Mrs. Hayden had differei
rooms from the time of their removal into
tue me new TeSluenCe IN flICuDuTS. ue
judges room was opposite that occupied
by Miss Gillette. Servants testified as to
the preference shown to Miss Gillette over
Mrs. Hayden by the judge. Judge Shell
don, before whom tie case was heard, said
Mrs. Hayden was clearly entitled to bill
on the ground of adultery, and asked why
that was not the charge alleged, and Mrs.
Hayden's counsel replied that this charge
was not brought on account of Mr.. Hay
denis son, then 10 years old. Judge Shell
don said the evidence ought to be submitted
to the district attorney for the prosecution
of Hayden and Miss Gillette on account of
the question of adultery arising so strongly
over that of cruel and abusive treatment.
Proceedings on this point were not pressed,
however, and the divorce was granted on
the original charge.
People in Windsor and Windham coun-
ties have watched the proceedings in the
Gillette case with much interest. Miss
Gillette is an orphan. Her parents lived
in Andover. Miss Gillette went from An
dover to South Londonderry, where she
was a wel-known school teacher before
going to Fitchburg.

The volume orLake Traffic.

Some idea of the enormous volume of
the lake traffic may be had when it is
known that during the last year it amount
ed to $4,000, 900 tons, two and half mil
lion carloads, and in this estimate no ac-
count is taken of the business done on Lake
Ontario. Nearly a third of the tonnage
owned in the United States and navigating
both oceans, the gulf, the lakes and the
rivers, is on the lakes, the total lake ton
mage being 1924 ,067 tons. 1t is on the
lakes that the American merchant marine
is most highly developed, and the statis-
tics of shipbuilding show that more
than one-half of the new tonnage of the
past year was built on the lakes for the
lake trade.
Seven states border on the lakes-Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Hi
nois, Wisconsin and Michigan-with two
tifths of the population of the United
States. Millions of dollars are invested in
the various forms of traffic that ply the
waters of these great inland seas. The
centre of the country, commercially con-
sldered, will never be very far removed
from the lake region. Now no similar ter
ritory can compete with it in the variety
andeXtent of business transacted Ohio

Too Much Meat Breaks Down Ameri-
cans In Middle Life.


Mrs. S. T. Rorer writes on 'Do We Eat
Too Much Meat?" in the January La
dies Home journal, answering her own
query atfirmativey. "Meat," she asserts,
sis not at all necessary to perfect exist
ence. Most people, however, look upon it as
though it formed the only food upon which
they could work, and yet many great ath-
letes have never touched it, Meat, after
it enters the stomach and is digested, may
be injurious, but for all this the ordinary
American has made up his mind that lean
meat gives him less trouble than any other
food, so he takes it in large quantities, in
varably breaking down at middle life with
just such diseases as come from the over
use of concentrated heterogeneous foods.
Children fed on beef juice and beef soups,
with white bread, lose the various salts
necessary to the bulding of bones, teeth
and muscle, and the soda for the blood.
The outer part of the wheat, which is so
rich in these earthly salts, is cast aside, so
that the child in growing gets weak bone
structure as frame for its lean flesh. The
stalwart men of Scotland find that por-
ridge and milk contain all the muscle,
bone and nerve food necessary for an act
i've existence.
"An excess of carbonaceous food, on
the other hand, forms an accumulation of
fat, preventing the complete nourishment
of the muscles. The Over-fat person has
bulk without strength; his vital power is
always deficient, while the excess of nitro
gencus food which he consumes increases
the tendency to disease of a plethoric
character, showing at once that the sur
plus is burned and stored the same as fuel
