Only One Woman Hanged.

For the first time in six years Vermont
prison confines Indicators under the sen.
tence of death. Isabella A. Marsh and Viii.
liam Buzzell of Mortified will be hanged al
the states prison at Windsor February g.
1899, for the murder of George Marsh, the
hu band Of the condemned woman.
The last execution in this state was that Of
Sylvester Bell of Fairfax, which took place
New Years day, 1892. He was convicted Of
wife murder.
Only one woman has been hanged in Yer
mont, Mrs Emeline Lucy Meaker of Water
hurry, who was executed the fourth FRIDAY in
March, 1883, nearly Is years ago. AS hers
was the last execution before Bells and there
was an interval of nearly nine years between
them, it will be seen that the death penalty is
rare thing in this state.
Mrs. Makers son, Lewis Altman Meaker
was condemned to die with her, but the gen
eral assembly COMMITTED the sentence to i'm
prisonment for life. He died a few years ago
Only one other woman is said to have beer
sentenced to death in this state. Mrs. Peak
who resided in Orange county and in about
1910, poisoned her husbar d and others. She
died in prison very mysteriously few day:
before the date set for her execution.
The law of Vermont r, quires that session
of the general assembly shall intervene be
tween the sentence of death and execution
that the case may, if necessary, be brought
hef ire the lawmakers who alone can com
mute the death penalty.

Three Women, High in WASH

Because They Believed Health

"Opening his mouth wide, he brusquely
thrust the pistol barrel into the very bottom
Of his throat and pressed upon the trigger"
Of course the shot killed him. He had
been challenged to duel, and the fear of
death drove him to suicide. Guy de Maui
PEASANT, the great French writer, tells the
story. This is no mere fancy of novelist.
1t is dreadful, eternal truth. Men and wo-
men, living under the shadow of Deaths
black wing fling themselves into the arms Of
the very enemy they dread. See the proofs
of this in the matter-of-fact newspaper re-
ports. Note that in great city half-a-dozen
persons will, in a single day, take their own
such as disappointed love, financial ruin,
actual or impending disgrace and thwarted
ambition. The most prevalent reason is not
dwelt upon, except in rare cases, because to
the unthinking reader it is less impressive
than the Others Yet the fact that sufferers
from real or imaginary disease, despairing
of a cure take their own lives, is the most
appalling of all the doleful facts connected
with suicide. Within a few weeks three wo-
men, moving in the highest society in Wash
ington, killed themselves because they saw
no hope of overcoming disease. They had
struggled and hoped until struggle seemed
vain and hope a hooking delusion. One
day the shadow of the black wing was SO
near that it blotted out all the joy and sun
shine of the world. The next days papers
told of a historic family's awful affiiction.

toms are misunderstood by patients and
physician. In the pitiless struggle for exist
ence the sick are at an awful disadvantage
They are trampled under foot like lame
wolves in the rush of their strong and
hungry fellows. Small wonder is it that the
invalid, gloomily rejecting on what he be-
ieves to be his hopeless state, resorts to
pistol or poison; to the rope or the river.
A few dry words from his doctor have
fallen on his ear like death-sentence In
some medical book the sufferer has read of
deadly diseases with symptoms such as he
noted in himself. He concludes he has some
disease he has read about, an inference as
natural as it is unwarranted. Pride, duty and
love are powerless to hold hesuicide's hand.
Among the readers of this article may be
some who have pondered long on the ques-
ton whether a sick life is worth living, yet
have not reached that pitch of despair when
they would push themselves across the line
between time and eternity. To them few
words of simple temperate common sense
How do you know that you cannot be as
we'll and strong as any of your neighbors?

Maple Sugar.

We use to have the impression that near
ly all the maple sugar in this country was
made in Vermont and good deal of it
and much Of the very best quality certainly
is made in that state. But a few years ago
when our government offered bounty on
sugar it resulted in revealing the fact that
maple sugar was made in all northern and
some southern states. That part of the
tariff of 1890 that provided for the bounty
was, as all will remember, soon repealed,
yet during the short time 1t was in force it
greatly increased the interest in maple
sugar making and doubtless gave it an i'm
petus that has to a certain degree been re-
tanned
Maple sugar is delicious product when
pure and properly made. Adulteration
and carelessness in its production have
many times brought it into bad repute. Then
again, though strange as it may seem,there
are people in this western country who
never having tasted any but an adulterated
or imitation article, suspect the genuine
when it is shown them or they taste it.
If all the maple sugar and syrup offered
tor sale in the cities and villages all over
this country as Vermont goods we're made
in that state, then Vermont could be credi-
ted with 80 to IS per cent of the entire
product. Go where you will it is ever
mont maple sugar" and vermont maple
syrup" that is offered for sale at least nine
times out of ten.
1t is greatly to the credit OF Vermont
that its farmers and the leading business
men of several of its cities and large vii.
lagos have formed associations to prevent
adulteration of maple products within the
state and attest their purity and identity
their origin when sent outside the state.
Chicago, we are sorry to say, seems to
be city where great deal is done not
only in adulterating maple products but in
the production of imitation and bogul
goods. Doubtless more so-called maple
sugar and syrup is sold in and sent ou
from Chicago each year as Vermont good
than that state ever produced in any on,
of its best years. Some one has saiG
that but one article could ever be found il
a perfectly pure condition in Chicago ant
that was-cussedness.
Vermonters should take some means o
educating western people to an actua
knowledge of their genuine maple sugar
and syrup. They should have attended te
it during the Worlds Fair. but neglectins
to do so then, the Omaha Exposition Offer
them an opportunity that they should mo-
neglect. Their associations for the ad
vancement of the maple sugar interests o
the state should unite in sending some one
to that exposition with quantity of pure
Vermont maple products to be sold and
perhaps in some instances given away, ant
thus give thousands an opportunity to taste
for the first time in their lives pure Yer
mont maple sugar-Fsrming World.

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements That Will be Found
INDISPENSABLE

The universal article OF died in that coun-
try, depended upon and indispensable, is
bread or biscuit And to make the bread and
biscuit, either in the camp or upon the trail,
yeast cannot be used-it must be baking pow
der; and the powder manufactured by the
processes of the Royal Baking Powder COM
pany, miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness and
raise the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for every
one proposing to 60 to Alaska and the Yukon
country to know, for should he be persuaded
by some outfitter to take one of the cheap
brands of baking powder, it will cost just as
much 70 transport it and then when he opens
it for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will find
a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled powder,
with no strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results. Alaska
is no place in which to experiment. in food or
try to economize with your stomach. For
use in such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and labor in
that Country, everything must be the best
and most useful and above all it is imperative
that all food supplies shall have perfect keep
ing. qualities. 1t is absurd to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an article
that will deteriorate in transit, or that will be
found when required for use to have lost a
great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow in these
matters than the advice of those who have
gone through similar experience. Mr.. Nc
Questen, who is called '.the father of Alaska, -
after an experience of years upon the trail, in
the camp, and in the use of every kind of
supply says: "We find in Alaska that the i'm .
portance of a proper kind of baking pow
der cannot be overestimated. A miner with
can of bad baking powder is almost help
less in Alaska. We have tried all sorts and
have been obliged to settle down to use moth
ing but the Royal. 1t is stronger and carries
further, but above all things, it is the only
powder that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the arctic REGION"
1t is for the same reasons that the U. 8.
government in its relief expeditions and
Peary, the famous arctic traveller, have car
ried the Royal Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not cake MOI
lose its strength either on board ship or in
damp climates, and is the most highly con-
centrated and efficient of leavening agents
Hence it is indispensable to every Alask an
outfit. 1t can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he should
resist every attempt of the outfitter to palm
off upon him any of the other brands of bak.
ing powder, for they will spoil and prove the
cause of great disappointment and trouble.
