FeIchvIlIe

Our community was greatly
shocked to learn of the death of
Miss Belle Z. Coolidge at the resi-
dencc of her brother in Rutland on
Ian. q. She had spent the best
part of her life and energies IN the
school-room she began to teach in
1876 at "Mount Moses" in this town
and, with the exception of one year
spent in California, taught almost
continuously since that time
about sixty terms in all, The last
ten years were almost entirely given
to graded school work in Ludlow,
Proctor, Brattlcboro and Rutland.
Her preparation was mainly at the
Randolph Normal School, but she
was interested in educatio nal work
outside of the school-room, having
served for several years as town
superintendent of schools for Ply
mouth. She frequently wrote arll-
Giles for the different educational
journals and was always in touch
with the best though and most adj
vanced methods IN educational
work. With the exception of Il
shor time spent in New Hampshire,
her teaching was confined to her
native state. The remains were
brought to this place for interment
in the ia mily lot, the funeral servi-
ces beng held at the univcrsalist
church, Rev. Mr.. Cooley of Rutland
officiating. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful.
Rev. J. F. Summons will preach
in the Union church tomorrow at
Z D. M, if weather permits.

DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
Their Distinctions aud the Relation o.
the One to the Other.

Their Distinctions aud the Relation OF
the One to the Other.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment of their work
in accordance with the principles of
another art, and ut last they have
succeeded in convincing the more
open minded of us that what is of
prime Importance in Il picture is the
way in which it is painted and that
its merely literary merit is quite
secondary. They are not unreason-
able when they insist that the chief
duty of picture is to represent the
visible world, not 10 point a moral
OF adorn tale, and that in the ap.
probation of picture we must
weigh first of all it's pictorial beauty.
Nor are the sculptors asking too
much when in a statue they want
us to consider chiefly its plastic
beauty.
Now, the orator and the dramutist
ask for themselves what has been
granted the painter and the sculptor
they request that an Grafton or n
drama shall he judged Lot as litcra-
ture only, but also in accordance
with the principles of its own art,
and here the literary critic is even
less willing to yield. He may &C
knowledge his own ignorance OF
perspective and of pigments, OF
composition and of modelling; he
may confess that here the painter
and the sculptor have him At IL DIS
advantage, hut he is not ready to
admit that he is not to apply lis
own standards to the works of H.,
orator and of the dr;,L. list.
On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and tn" play. if to !
belong to literature at all, arr, EE
that very fact, absolutely within TIC
province of the literary critic /.
cannot see why that which the ora
tor and the dranlatist may write IS
not to lie read and criticised exactly
us that " Ii h is written ly TIE nov
elist and the es-ayst and the poet.
In;,ecl it is almost Il miSrepIcaenta-
ton Lf the literary critics attitude
to suggest that he has need to m:.in-
tain us position, for it * rarely
even hintcd to him that he is not
fully justified in employing the
sane tests in every depai tment of
literature.
Yet nothing ought to be clearer
than the distinction between the
written word ard the spoken, Ie-
tween the literature which is adj
dressed to the eye alone and that
which j.: intended primarily for the
ear aud only secondirily for the
eye. 1t is the difference between
words written once for all and
words first spoken and then written,
or at least written so that they may
be spoken. When this distinction il
seized, it follows that oral discourse
is not necessarily to be measured Oh
the same scale as written discourse.
It follows also that the speech and
the play may be very good indeed,
each in it's kind, although they may
fail to attain the standard of strictly
literary merit which we should de-
mand in an essay, a story OF q
poem. - Professor Brander Mat

Yes, Scrofula, iianything, may be called

scourge of the world - offensive, painful,

Outward applications do not cure, they

abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the

There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as We
know, has almost invariably succeeded
oyen where the system has been poisoned

be repnired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparil!a. Read this:

Two of the three men who took
the lead in carrying the Vermont
State convention last year, have now
received their cards of acknowledged
mcnt from Mckinley. The nomina
ton of Judge Hugh Henry to be
pension agent at Concord was sent
in to the Senate yesterday. Judging
from the appreciation the president
has thus expressed toward Martin
and Henry it would seem reasonable
for Col. Haskins to expect card
along about Valentine or some other
day. or course nothing is known
about it except in inside circles. hut
it is not easily believed that he re-
