VERMONT'S ATTRACTIONS.
From the St. Johnsbury caledonian.

From the St. Johnsbury Caledonian)
4 New York newspaper man who has
just completed tour of the summer re-
sorts of Maine and New Hampshire told
the writer Saturday that the hotel pro-
prietors at both the mountains and
beaches were much discouraged over
their July business, but anticipated a
good patronage in August They lay their
poor patronage to the war and are natur-
ally disappointed at their summers bust
ness.
Probably in individual instances the war
has kept some at home or taken others
to the front but we are inclined to tho
opinion that as far as patronage of tina
summer resorts from Vermonters is con-
cerned the war has nothing to do with the
case The people of our own state are
just beginning to find out the beauties of
our lakes and ponds, which thanks to the
efforts of the state game commissioners
and the Vermont Fish and Game League,
are well stocked with trout, and instead
of paying So TO s. day at the Mountains
for the privilege of wearing evening
dresses or "A boiled" shirt or sleeping on
hard beds at the beach and attending
clambakes. they have come to the sensible
conclusion that there Is more real rest
under the evergreens and naples of a
Vermont pond than anywhere else in the
world. After a trip to the mountains or
beaches they have discovered to their sor-
row what the late William Travers of
New York found at Bermuda. He was
advised by his physician to go to Ber-
muda for change and rest. He did so and
when he came back he said 1.-The landlord
got the change and the bell boys got the
| rest" BY the banks of Vermont lakes,
and there are dozens of them all dotted
with pretty cottages. the average Yer.
monter can enjoy a well-earned vacation
at modest sum and in outing costume.
There are half a dozen lakes. In thia
vicinity which are growing in popularity
every year and the same Is true OF every
other locality In the state. We welcome
| this change of base on the part of vaca-
tinoists and the excellent advertising that
has already come 10 the Green Mountain
| resorts.

VERMONT COPPER MINES.
(From the Montpelier Record.)

The copper mines of Ely We're at one
time the third largest in the United States
Recent developments in Orange county hid
fair to bring that section again into prom
inence in the mining world. The rich veins
of ore recently opened in the Elizabeth
mine. at South STAFFORD. prove that this
lead is capable of profitable development
The Elizabeth mine Is owned by the Ty-
sons OF Baltimore, men OF large experience
I'm mining. They have just refused $500. 00C
for the property. Rich veins have also
been found in Royalton.
Tho Boston and Montana experts who
have visited these mines say that II these
properties were located in the copper 'e-
gions of the West they would be booming
All copper experts agree that with modern
machinery and methods of smelling the
Vermont copper mines can be made great
dividend producers and there Is no reason
why the copper industry should not rank
with the marble and granite industries OF
the State.

George Fred Williams of Massachusetts,
who instructed the delegates to the YER
mont democratic convention for Bryan
and free silver, Is said to have no desire
to run for governor of the Bay State
again; and one Of his licutenants has said
the Quincy crowd set out to prevent him
from running. 1t is also stated that WI
liams will allow his gubernatorial mantle
to fall upon the shoulders of Robert Treat
Paine, Jr,, which may be without pain
for Williams and treat for Paine. 1t
looks, however, MS if Williams was moro
successful in running the democratic par
ty of Vermont than in bossing the DEM
ocracy Of Massachusetts,

power. Russia might now throw power
full army into India, but campaign in
that direction would be conducted under
marked disadvantages.
There is every reason for believing,
therefore, that Russia will not press her
point in Chinese territory to the point OF
war with England. Her diplomats have
apparently discovered the danger line to
their own satisfaction and are determined
to keep on their own side thereof.

FOR MILDRED HAS 4 BEAU.

She sits and signs and gazcs off
At something far in space,
And pensiveness and keen regret
Are pictured in her face;
The bloom of lovely wOmanhood
Still gids her cheeks, but oh,
She sits alone and signs to-day,
For Mildred has beau.
IT'S not that she would seek to throw
Sweet Mildred in the shade
'Tis not that they are rivals where
The game of love is played
All. she is fair, with glossy hair
And roses yet, but oh,
Sweet Mildred Is her daughter, and
Has just brought home a beau.

SEC. ALGER SAYS
Appointments in a Brigadier's Staff
Will Be Taken From Regular
ARMY.

Tt has been understood among the
friends of Gen. Hudson that he would
make a strong effort to secure places
on his staff for Kansas soldiers, if he
was made a brigadier general. a re-
porter of the Journal called upon him
today to make inquiry as to his staff
appointments. General Hudson said:
I regret very much that I will be
unable to influence the selection of my
staff appointments beyond the detail
of two neutenants to serve as aides.
the brigade to which I may be as
eraI, quartermaster and commissary of
subsistence, each has the rank of cap
tain on a brigade commanders staff
and are appointed by the president.
The brigade surgeon is also a presiden-
tial appointment, and these four, to-
gether with the two detailed lieuten-
ants as aides, constitute a brigadier
generals staff.
In view of being ordered within q
few days to report for assignment to
duty at some of the camps of instruc-
ton and mobilization, I asked Senator
Harris to call upon Secretary A1ger and
learn from him whether my recomElen-
dations for four staff officers, to be t.p-
pointed by the president,y would be
considered. In reply Senator Harris,
who saw Secretary Alger today on this
subject, wired me the following reply:
Secretary says no such fecommenda-
lions will be considered. Policy IS to FUR
niSh brigadierS from civil life with STAN
officers from the regular army.
This information, General Hudson said,
while something of a surprise to him, dis
tinctly announces policy which makes
further effort on his part to secure KAN
SaS Appointments out of the question.
