Penny Postage.


Some London papers are talking
penny postage between this country
and England. As the cost of carriage
is said to be less than between New York
and almost any point west of the Mis-
souri,, there ought to be no great obstacle
to such an arrangement. Penny post
age between England, Canada and
some other British colonies has already
been determined upon. When it gets
into operation it will he possible to
evade the scent postage by mailing to
Caraia and having the letter for
warded, thus making the postage four
cents. Two-cent postage to England
may not come for a few years, but ii
will be along in the course of the de.
cade. And the fact that Canadian
merchants enjoy 2-cent rate will not
retard the change in this country.

THE trade between the United States
and Porto Rico is reviewed in bulletin
issued by the secretary of agriculture,
compiled under the direction of Frank
81. Hitchcock, chief of the foreign mar
ket section. Special efforts to secure the
most reliable and complete data were
made owing to the avowed intention of
the administration to make the island
a permanent possession. The official
returns show that our commercial trans
actions with Porto Rico during the
fiscal year 1897. just closed, amounted
In value to "a, l69, 9l6, the least since the
civil war, except in 1895. The highest
mark was In 1879 when imports and
exports had q combined value of $13..
670.925. Subsequently the trade de-
chned rapidly, and In less than de-
cade it has fallen Off more than one
half. The average annual trade fell
from s6,017, 7S5 for 1882 to $4,s5e. s17
in lSss-s7. The reciprocity In force in
the three fiscal years 1892-04 consider-
ably augmented the trade, the average
annually in that period being
e6.l59. 7s4. against $685., 6O4 for the
three preceding years, and q, 96e, 572 in
the three years following. Our imports
are almost entirely agricultural. Nom
agricultural commodities also form lesa
than 10 per cent Of our exports there.

A CALL has been issued for meet
Ing of the Republican state convention
at Tacoma September q, the conven-
ton to consist of 40 delegates appor-
toned among the various counties on
the basis of two delegates at large for
each county and one delegate for each
100 votes or major fraction thereof cast
for the Republican presidential elector
receiving the highest vote at the gener-
al election in 1895. San Juan county
will have six delegates, the highest
Republican vote for presidential elector
having been All. Eight counties have
smaller number of delegates and
three others - Garfield, Mason and
Stevens, the same number. The basis
of representation to all joint district
conventions will be the same as to the
state convention. It is expected that
Chairman Showers, of the Republican
committee of this county, will call a
meeting of the committee at an early
date to fix the time and place of hold
ing the convention for the election of
delegates to the state convention and
also for the nomination of a county
ticket. 1t is considered quite likely
that the committee will consider one
convention sufficient for both these
purposes. If held on or about the 18th
of September as much time will be
afforded for the county campaign as
candidates can we'll afford to devote to
it. The time intervening between the
convention and election should not be
10 long as to be wearisome or unneces-
sarily burdensOme to candidates.

The Postofflce Question.

For some time st. Johnsbury people
have been interested in the selection of a
new postmaster. They will doubtless be
surprised to learn that lady now holds
a commission as postmistress.
Owing to some changes in the course
at the business college postmaster has
been needed for the commercial depart
ment. Jones & Shields had just been
doing one Of their usual skillful pieces of
work in the way of an ash desk for Joint
use Of the postmaster and the commits.
sion merchant, so on Wednesday after
noon after the regular session. the pupils
held caucus for the election of someone
to run the postoffice. Check lists were
prepared, and the secret ballot plan fol-
lowed. The ladies had the right of equal
suffrage and all seemed to enjoy their
privilege and to vote as easily as the
young men. Miss Jessie V. Noyes OF
Lyman, N. H., received majority of the
ballots cast, and on Friday she received
her commission from headquarters.
Had the appointment needed to come
from the same source as that of Mr..
Bundys successor we are uncertain when
the vacancy would have been filled.

DR.. Hale's Lecture.

Edward Everett Hale, a native OF
Boston now in his 77th year, comes of a
family well known in the literary his
tory of Boston and that includes all
New England. He has written large
number of very readable and ingenious
stories, but his short sketch, IA Man
Without a Country" has been pro-
nounced the most remarkable piece of
verisimilitude produced on this side of
the water. Written during the stirring
times of the civil war it produced a
marked effect in strengthening the cause
of the Northern arms. DIR. Hale is as
noted lecturer as a writer. For
years he has been in the front rank of
platform speakers and the people of
Boston from the youngest to the Oldest
have crowded fremont Temple to hear
this great man. Oftentimes he has been
called upon to address the school children
in the historic Old South church and
these occasions are full of delight to the
young people.
His lecture on Friday evening on "The
Twentieth Century" will be an unfolding
of our country's greatness which comes
at particularly appropriate time. At
the close of the war with Spain; when
Dewey and Sampson have blazed the
way to foreign conquests and manifest
destiny points to our control of millions
of aliens. DR.. Hale will portray the
policy and future of our country. 1t is
the first appearance in st. Johnsbury of
this great man and a crowded house
should greet him. Tickets 35 and so
cents at Bingham's drug store.

A Rare Literary Treat.

A special meeting of the Woman's
Club was held in Pythian Hall Monday
afternoon and was largely attended by
the members of the Club and few
gentlemen gladly availed themselves Of
the privilege to hear the literary feast
which the literature committee had pro-
vided.
Mrs. Ruthy P. Fairbanks, as president,
announced that the music committee
would give their programme on gentle
mans night in February in connection
with the entertainment to be provided.
The meeting was then in the hands of
the literature committee, Mrs. Mary r.
P. Hatch, chairman.
Mrs. Hatch announced the rare treat
OF the afternoon, Personal Reminis-
cences of Robert Louis Stevenson" by
Judge Henry c. Ide. She read letters
from the American authoress, Mary E.
Wilkins, and Hall Caine, each of whom
paid warm tribute to Stevenson as a
writer. letter addressed to Rudyard
Kipling elected cordial reply from Mrs.
Kipling, who said her husband was at
sea and would not receive the letter in
season.
Judge Ide was at his best and spoke
Tor an hour upon the impressions of the
great author while both were living in
Samoa, interspersing his address with
many delightful personal illusions and
anecdotes which have never found their
way into print. The circumstance of
Mr.. Stevenson willing his birthday to
Miss Annie Ide was given in detail, and
included besides the original letter to
Miss Ide most unique reply and a
clever knowledgement of the same and
poem from Mr.. Stevenson. The ad-
dress was one of the finest literary efforts
ever given to a St. Johnsbury audience
and hearty vote of thanks was given
at it's close.
After the address social hour was
held and tea was served by the social
committee.

Farewell Reception.

Tke farewell reception to Rev. and
Mrs. FL. H. Hoyt on Monday evening
was delightful social affair, though all
regretted the cause of the reception. The
gathering was held in the vestry of the
Church of the Messiah which was pref
tily decorated with flowers. During the
evening the ladies served light refresh
ments. Rev. DR.. Edward T. Fairbanks
was the first speaker and his remarks
were addressed to both the pastor and
the congregation. He was followed by
Rev. M. II. Mill, Rev. G. c. Waterman
and Rev. DR.. A. H. Heath. The latter
gave most cordial welcome to the new
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Veazey. Prof. Com
stock brought hearty greetings, Miss
Carrie Underwood spoke for the Young
Peoples Union and Capt. Roberts
spoke for the church and society. E. F.
Brown presented Mr.. Hoyt with purse
Of money in neat speech. To all these
loving greetings Mr.. Hoyt responded
briefly but feelingly and said it was in his
heart to say great deal more than he
could say on such an occasion. During
the evening Miss Alice Babcock gave
recitation and music was furnished by
Evelyn Oakley and individual members
of the choir.
Rev. and Mrs. Hoyt left for Maine
on Tuesday afternoon carrying with
them best wishes for long and useful
life in another home from all their st.
Johnsbury friends.

A Private Seance.

A CALIFORNIAN representative accepted
an invitation to witness a private ex-
hibition of hypnotism, in the Avenue
House, Sunday afternoon, before num-
Der of local doctors. Prof. Herbert L.
Flint selected few subjects and after
operating upon them invited the doctors
to try, and for some time the subjects
were obeying the will OF the doctors as
well as Of the Professor.
One experiment that excited consider
able surprise was the running of pin
through the arm of subject and draw.
ing blood on both sides. The subject
was wel.known man in town and
was perfectly conscious in every part of
his body except his arm. Upon being
questioned whether it hurt or not replied
that he did not feel it at all. The doctors
present were DR.. Harry G. Bullard, DR..
w. ]. Aldrich and DR.. Edward H. Ross
and it is probable that a club will be
formed for the further study of the sub.
ject.

A Faithful Engineer.

The familiar face Of S. ]. Wilson of Lyn-
donville at the cab window of an engine
will no longer be seen as Mr.. Wilson has
been granted a release from railroading
and given position in the Lyndonville
machine shops. Mr.. Wilson has served
on an engine for over so years and for
4S years of this time he has been engi-
neer. The Lyndonvile Journal well says; /;
Probably no more faithful and efficient
service was ever given railroad corpor-
alton, than that given by Mr.. Wilson
during his long years Of journeying up
and down the Passumpsic valley. His is
a record of which he may well be proud,
and one which but few men can make"

Lager Beer Siezed.

The Italians, who recently opened a
store in Drouin's block, are in good
deal Of trouble at present and one OF
them is liable to have to pay large fine.
Several creditors brought suit against
the owners of the store, and in looking
over the stock Of goods the officers acci-
dentally discovered several cases of beer.
This was taken and upon analyzation
by Prof. S. H. Brackett was found to be
lager. The suits were brought against
each member of the firm personally and
one claimed to have sold his share to his
brother. Upon learning this the officers
placed him in jail on the charge Of dis
posing of his property with intent to
delraud his creditors. These suits have
satisfactorily settled, but the violation
OF the prohibitory law is yet to be taken
up.
