1.-THE Sleeping CITY"

Real life depicted on the stage is al
ways pleasing, and plays with human
story, reasonable plot, telling humor
and brisk action catch the fancy of the
people. To this class belongs "Ihe
Sleeping City" A. Q. Scammon's new
comedy-drama of life in New York after
dark, which will be at the opera house
next Tues day night. Picturesque and
realistic .scenes will be shown, among
which are Battery Park, Hudson River
docks, a burning asylum, and others. a
good deal of scenery and a number of
ingenious stage accessories are carried
for the proper representation of this
great play, which is interpreted by a
company of unusual ability. Incidental
to the action some pleasing specialties
are rendered, which add to the enjoy
ment.

A CHARACTER OF HISTORY.
Life of Isaac Williamson, the Last of the
Oid-Time stage-Coach Drivers.


Another'landmark has been removed,
another of Middlebury's oldest inhabi-
tants has passed into the great un-
known, leaving not only his immediate
relatives, but many old friends to mourn
bis loss. Isaac Williamson passed away
early Tuesday morning, the goth of De-
cember. peacefully and without a strug-
gle. The funeral exercises were held at
his late residence the following Thurs
day, Rev. Mr.. Weeks of Brandon ofiiciat-
ing. The attendance was large, the
spacious dwelling scarcely sufficient to
contain it. There were present many
who had known him for years, some
who were boys with him, and by all he
will be missed.
The following sketch of his life may
not : owe uninteresting Isaac William
son was born in Cornwall Feb. 2S. 1917.
When but mere boy he came to Middle
bury and at IA years of age commenced
his career of stage driving, which he so
successfully pursued for many years.
His first route was from Middlebury to
Larr bees Point. Austin johnson, then
a large stage proprietor, became 80 i'm
pressed with his capacity and faithful
ness that he placed him on the route to
Castleton, where he remained u years.
1t was a night service both ways. requir.
ing keen eye and steady hand, and
young Isaac performed it to Mr.. John
sons entire satisfaction. He was then
transferred to the Burlington route and
subsequently to that of Rutland. With
the advent of the railroad and wherever
1t reached staging was discontinued. A
contest having arisen between the Yer
mont Central and The Rutland railroad
for the mall contract, and the latter be-
ing only completed to Brandon, the mail
service between Brandon aud Burlington
was performed on horseback. The pOr.
ton of the distance between the former
place and Nliddebury was done by Mr..
Williamson. He then commenced driV-
ing from Burlington to st. Adams,
which continued until the railroad was
completed to that place. He then drove
over the ice through the winter from
Burlington to Plattsburgh. In the spring
and until the railroad was completed be-
tween the two points, he drove from
that he was the only stage-driver who
ever turned siX-horse team and coach
in the narrow space between the canal
and The steps of the Phoenix hotel. Sub
sequant to the service lust mentioned he
was or some eight months in the en-
ploy of the Rutland railroad. Leaving
that he commenced the livery business
in Middlebury, In which he continued up
to his death. AS a stage-driver he had
no superior and but few equals. Active,
cool, self-possessed and thoughtful, he
was model driver and always popular
with the travelling public. A seat on the
box with him was eagerly sought for.
When he died he was probably the last
survivor in Vermont of the race Of stage
drivers, so useful in their day and gener-
alton.
He leaves three sons, Julius, Charles
and Walter, all of whom were finally
associated with him In the livery
business. X.

Needs Of the Average Woman.

What, then, does the average we-
man need? In the first place, thor
ough manual training. She needs to
know how to cook a wholesome meal
properly, to put it on the table ap-
petizingly, and to, do this with the min
imum expenditure of energy. 1t is one
of the most hopeful signs in elementary
education that kitchen gardening and
household training are being introduced
into those schools which the children
OF the general population attend. The
need of this practical domestic training
tor girls has probably been sufficiently
emphasized, but in the general read
JuStment of occupations and duties go
ing on between men and women, it is
more and more apparent that boys as
well as girls need a certain amount of
elementary domestic training. 1t is a
mere fetch, for instance, that women
should do all the mending or even have
all the care of children. There
are many families in which family hap
piness, comfort and prosperity would
be greatly promoted if the husband
and father could, at least in an emer-
gency, take a competent share in the
routine work of the household. There
are many generous and kindly hus-
bands who would be glad to help but
who are Incapable through lack of ele-
mentary training. Since the bearing
and rearing of children is the most inn
portant function of women, the mother
| must be relieved, at least at times,
from many of her ordinary household
cares. If there be not money enough
to hire extra service, it is inevitable
that the father should take at least
temporarily, some of these duties, if
the family is to be maintained in COM

PEACE SECURED.

A protocol was signed at Washing
ton yesterday under which all hostili-
ties We're ordered to cease at once. It
amounts practically to a treaty Of peace
between Spain and the United States,
and so far as we are now advised it is
| Immediately operative.
If this is true, and it seems to be
the correct construction, then the free
dom of Cuba from Spanish rule ig ac-
complished, leaving its further pacifica-
pie of Cuba; so far as Spain is concern
| ed she takes no more steps in the mat
ter.
Porto Rico and all Spanish West In
| dian possessions, and an island in the
Ladrone group are ceded absolutely to
the United States. The city and bay
Of Manila are to be occupied and con-
trolled by the United States pending
| the conclusion of a treaty Of peace
| which is to determine the future of the
Philippine group.
| Evacuation of all islands Of the Span
| ish West Indies is to begin Immediately.
Within ten days Commissioners are 10
be named to formulate the treaty Thus
there remain to be settled by that
treaty only the permanent disposition
Of the Philippines, the return of Span
ish prisoners to their homes, and the
formal handing over of the articles of
Loo Cl1-
ban prisoners held by Spain.
| There is no question Of Cuban debt
to pass upon; no question of indemnity
to be settled; nothing concerning dam
age claims to be entertained; nothing
t.concerning payment for the loss Of the
Maine. Clearly we are to hold Manila,
the bay, all the bay coast towns, and
territory sufficient about the bay for it's
convenient and secure occupancy, and
there is reason to believe that this will
extend to the entire island Of Luzon.
| Recognizing the title of Spain and
her right to make the cession, this will
amount to a denial of recognition of
the LuZon insurgents and leaves US to
| settle With lIlGfU diOue, al achievement
we entertain the belief we will accom-
| plish, since there Is nothing in their
demands that Is not accorded by our
| system to all citizens of the United
| States. By conceding these human
rights the insurgents will probably be
prevailed upon to accept the govern
mental form the United States will set
up at Manila. Nevertheless this Phil
| ippine disposition confronts the nation
as one Of momentous Importance, de-
manding the employment of the highest
order of craftsmanship and the loftiest
conceptions Of justice and humanity.
| There are details and considerations
in all these things which require study
and calm reflection. Public judgment
concerning them should not be hastily
formed

all probability some promises may have
been made by an irresponsible Consul
at Hongkong to one Aguinaldo, and in
Inmates plainly that the future destiny
of the twelve millions of. the human
race which Providence has placed in
be determined solely by the wishes of
half-barbarian insurgent leader.
Measures of far-reaching consequence
to the industrial growth of California
relating to irrigation remain to be de-
cided. Judge Mcguire has given no
thought to these questions. He rises
to say in effect that the commercial
relations of California will take care
of themselves; that the industrial de-
velopment of the State can be left to
chance; that a ruinous system Of taxa
ton may be proceeded with without
check, but that the one overshadowing
issue of consequence to this State is
the determination of a question which
is wholly with the Congress of the Unit
ed States, and which that body has put
in the way of final and satisfactory set
tlement
The reason for this is not far to seek.
Mcguire is demagogue who believes
in the existence Of widespread prejudice
against railroad corporations, and he
desires to stimulate an issue which will
array this prejudice on his side. The
plan of his campaign is a mistake. The
people Of California will demand, as
they have right to demand, that can
didates for Governor shall advance
reason for their choice by presenting
issues affected by the administration OF
the chief executive Office Of this COM
monwealth.
Mcguire has spoken and has presented
no issue which rises to the dignity of
craftsmanship, but has ignored every
State question demanding wise and jul
dicious solution.
Mr.. Mcguire seems to have opened
his campaign on the line of saying moth
ing concerning that Of which the peo-
pie wish most to hear, namely,
whether he is or is not a Democrat.

A Versatile Drummer.

A certain author, who is somewhat
of traveller, leaving hotel in great
haste to catch a train, forgot some
valuable memoranda. Among the pa
pers he left on his writing table was
the following:
Mem: Must fill order for two poems
-one on war and the other on progress
for the - Magazine Must finish
them soon.''
"A drummer with a literary turn occu-
pied the room later, and. in order to
test the value of a name. wrote the
poems on the subjects assigned by the
magazine editor, signed the literary
mans name to them, forwarded them
and awaited results
The landlord and several guests were
let into the secret. In a very short time
a letter came from the editor, which
was as follows:
Dear Sir: We have just received the
poems, for which we thank you We
note a departure from your old style.
but we are not sure but that these
poems are the best and freshest you
have done in long time. We will for
ward check for them to your business
representative in Blank, as instructed
by you some time since. We know
that we are going to get some good
work out of your Southern tour. Truly
yours" etc.
1t will be inferred from the above
that the business representative has a
little surprise in store for the literary
man when his travels are ended.-At-
lanta Constitution.

How much property man will leave
when he dies depends largely upon his
health. The man who suffers from i'll
health stands little show of being a sue
cessful business man. The man who comes
to his desk in the morning with head
ache, who suffers all day from dullness and
drowsiness, who goes to his meals without
an appetite and tosses restlessly through
the night without sleep, is not likely to
leave competence for his widow and or
phans. Success Is even more dependent
upon health than upon ability
Few men realize these truths. They
think that everything can be accomplished
by work, and that health is a secondary
consideration. Work is useless unless it is
good work, and good work is never done
save by thoroughly healthy man. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is the
best of all health restorers and health pre-
servers. 1t makes the stomach strong and
active. 1t sends man to his meals thor
oughly hungry every time. 1t facilitates

NOT A WISE MOVEMENT

The dispatches say that the Vatican
to bring influence to bear upon America
through church prelates and political
friends for the protection Of the monks.
priests and Catholic orders in the Phil
ippines from the fury of the insurgents.
This. If verify, is not complimentary
to the United States or to the intelli-
gence of the Vatican. The Pope we'll
knows that such roundabout way
of appeal is unnecessary and offensive.
A direct appeal by the Pope for the
protection Of his church officials in the
Philippines would be just as proper as
was the appeal of Protestant Bishops
for protection of American missionaries
in Armenia. This European idea that
to secure any favor in America pofiti-
cal pull through European Powers must
be brought to bear is irritating. Every
one, priest or layman, will have such
protection within our lines in any ter.
mand and irrespective of religious or
political faith. We apprehend that
whenever an appeal comes through any
European source in behalf of priests or
monks of a particular church in the
Philippines, the appellants will be told
that there was no occasion for it; that
the United States protects to the full
of its ability all people under its iuris-
diction. and that 1T requires no mon
archical prompting or clerical log
rolling to secure such protection.
