Once more the year has rolled
around and we are called together to
attend our annual meeting. The past

agement with the new year, which we
hope will also bring happiness and
prosperity to it, its officers and mem
bers, individually"

MAINS
ALL FEATURE SHOW

First-Class Ring Performance and IA
Managerie Full of Interesting Features.
The Walter l.. Main show, now a big,
big boy, on two long trains, came in
early this morning. The parade was
something of surprise especially as to
size and cleanliness, and above all in
novelty. Thousands witnessed it. At
eleven o'clock a free daylight fireworks
exhibition at the grounds was another
novel feature. It must cost something
fully as much as parachute jumping and
high diving-iudging from the variety
and sizes of the various pieces sent up.
At one o'clock, when the multitude com
menced pouring in at the menagerle
door, the first novelty again to attract at
tentioD was Dewey, the baby elephant,
only ten days old and about twenty
inches high. Main has a fortune in this
little fellow alone. Then came another
surprise, baby chick ostrich only three
weeks old, baby Arabian colt four
weeks old, and, last but not least, three
baby lions, not larger than kittens. In
| the monkey cages were two baby mon
| keys and in the center of the tent a baby
camel--a regular kindergarten menagerie
in addition to the big general menagerle.
The circus performance, with sixty
nine distinct acts, gave the best satsfac-
ton of any show we have had in years.
There are probably twenty of the usual
acts one sees in a circus, but of the re-
naming forty-nine it must be said they
are novel and great. TO go into detail
would fill column. 1t is an indisput-
able fact that the Walter Main Show is
the best we have had in years. There
were 5000 or more in attendance this
afternoon. 1t is more than likely that
the tents will not hold the crowds to-
night for its splendid clean, big show.
Go. You will not regret it.-Stamford

OBITUARY
STANTON McQu1vEY SMITH.

STANTON MCQUlNE1 SMITH,
Stanton McQuivey Smith, only son of
Gustavus b. and Emma l.. Smith, died
in Middlebury, Aug. IL, aged three years
and four months. His death took place
after an illness of less than twenty.four
hours duration and is a source of deepest
sorrow and surprise to the afflicted par
ents and the many friends who sympa-
thize with them in their sudden beaeave-
ment. He was a boy of bright and ac-
tive disposition, and his cheerful, earnest
ways had made for him 2 large place in
the hearts of those who knew him. His
life was very brief, as we number the
years, and a deep mystery surrounds
his removal from among the friends of
earth, which we cannot explain. 1t is as
If he held a mission from a better land to
us, to call our attention to himself; then
rise to heaven and carry our affections
with him there. To us is left the thought
of his happy entrance to the land of fair
sunlight and unfading flowers, of pure
and beautiful comprehensive that are
never broken. His love to us and ours
to him will remain the same, but grow
ing more intense, till the time when this
brief separation shall end and we "Shall
go to him who cannot come to us"
This is our confidence, for his dearest
friend and ours has said "Of such is the
kingdom of heaven" Y.

which rest the security of states and
the welfare of the peoples" The Gar
declares that he considers the present
moment favorable for seeking, by in
ternational discussion, to secure to all
peoples the benefits of real and durable
peace. He rightly points out that the
ultimate object of great international
alliances has been to guarantee peace,
and that financial problems, labor
problems, problems connected with the
investment of capital, national culture,
and wealth production, are all. to a
large degree, paralyzed by the enormous
military armaments of our day. 1t is
generally understood that the Gar per-
sonally has long entertained feeling of
strong disapproval of the military bur
den under which Europe is almost
Frustrated; and this, more than most
state papers, may be taken to express
the Cars personal views and wishes.
\ conference of some kind will probably
result: what will be its issue it is now
impossible to conjecture, but the mere
fact of such movement proceeding
from such a source cannot but hasten
the day when reason and international
law will take their rightful places as
supreme over brute force.

THE CAR AND UNIVERSAL PEACE.


1t is natural that some skepticism
should be shown by diplomatists about
the startling proposition of the Car of
Russia looking to the eventual disarma-
ment of the nations. No country has
shown a more aggressive spirit of late
years than Russia, and none has appar-
emily leaned more strongly upon the
tacit threat of force. Moreover. it has
been generally believed that Russia's
diplomatic methods in her forward
movements have been often unscrupu-
lous and commonly regardless of the
territorial rights and policy of other ma
tiOns. That Russia, then, should be the
first TO suggest the possibility of univer-
sal peace is indeed surprising. The ar
guments set forth by the Gar are those
which have always been put forward by
advocates of peace and comfy, with the
result that these advocates have been
generally termed idealists and theorists.
Making all allowances for practical
difficulties and for possible motives be-
meath the surface, the mere fact that the
Gar of Russia should seriously put for
ward such proposition has in it extra
ordinary Importance for the future his
tory of the world. AS the London
Times rightly says, Whatever the
issue, the proposal must forthwith be
discussed in practical spirit by practi-
cal statesmen of all civilized nations.
No wise man will pretend that even if
this is all, it is little for the Gar to have
accomplished" English papers, as
might be expected, are quite alive to the
practical difficulties in the way of uni
veTsal peace, and peculiarly quick to
suspect that the Cars proposition has
some special significance as relating to
the present position of affairs in China
and to England's great efforts to increase
her naval strength. One English paper,
for instance, suggests that the carrying
out of universal disarmament would be
of great disadvantage to England as
compared with Russia, because the for
nation of great army could be accom-
plished in two or three years, while such
a feet as England possesses could not
if allowed to fall into disuse, be restored
in less than from ten to twenty years
Stated in brief, the proposition of the
Gar is an invitation to all the nations
which have representatives in st. Peters
burg to send delegates to a conference
which would-to use the Cars words
converge in one powerful focus the
efforts of the states which are sincerely
seeking to make the great conception
of universal peace triumph over the
elements of trouble and discord. II
would at the same time cement al
agreement by a corporate conservation
of the principles of equity and right, OF

GO TO VERGENNES.

The construction of the strip of road
to be completed and ready for inspection
at Vergennes on Sept. 20 was begun
Yesterday. Those citizens of the county
who will find it incOnvenient to be in
Vergennes on the 20th and who yet de
sire to see the work. can run down from
now on and have quite as good an OPP
portunity of witnessing how good roads
are made as those who are present at
the general meeting. In fact they will
see more. for the work is expected to be
about complete at the latter time. The
advantage of being In Vergennes on the
estate day"-the 20th-wlll be found in
having matters fully explained by a
road expert, sent from Washington for
that purpose. The intervening time be-
tween now and the Goth is ample for
every road overseer and commissioner in
the county to visit the scene of con-
struction; and while all are advised to
be on hand on the 20th, inability so to
do should hinder none from gaining
what information can be derived before
hand. Mr. Harrison, the engineer from
Washington, will be present during the
whole time of construction, and we have
no doubt will be pleased to answer all
questions pertaining to the work.
This is a great opportunity for Addi-
son county and the rest of the state. 1t
will be a long time before another school
of road-construction opens its course for
the free tuition of road makers. We
once more urge upon our road commits
sioners and others interested the wisdom
of selling the opportunity.

Victoria Honors a vermonter.

A Vermont man has been honored by
Queen Victoria. He is Thomas w. Wood,
president of the National Academy OF
Design in New York city. Mr.. Wood is
great lover of Rembrant's works, and
he has copied all his masterpieces.
There was one, however, that had
never been copied. 1t was in Bucking-
ham palace. Through the kind offices
of Senator Morrill,, who secured a let
ter from Mr., Sherman to Mr.. Hay, Mr..
Wood secured permission from the
queen to make copy of the picture
for the Wood Art Gallery in Montpelier.
She ordered the painting taken from the
wall and placed on an easel in a spacious
room of the palace, inviting Mr.. Wood to
occupy this room as mis- convenience
required. She even directed that her
private stationery should be placed at
his disposal. Mr.. Wood has now finished
the copy, and it will be soon brought to
Montpelier for exhibition.

friends to show the success of the plan. He
writes that articles of considerable value
lost from time to time in London were all
recovered entirely through the efficiency
Of the system practiced there. The ea Smen
who find articles left by passengers take
them to Scotland Yard, where they are
left in charge of a bureau especially organ
zed to look after such articles. They are
delivered to the person who lost them only
on payment of a certain percentage of their
value. Part of this goes to the cabman and
a small share is retained by the police The
system has proved completely successful.
The sum demanded is enough to make it
worth the cabman's while to act with hon
esty, while it is not enough,t to be q hardship
to the loser. The use of cabs is not so gen,
eral here as in London and their nunbt ls
much smaller, two facts which make the
London system, excellent as it may be, not
so necessary as it is abroad Most of the
objects left behind in cabs are probably
not of enough value to make it worth the
losers while to go to any great trouble in
recovering them. but they are usually worth
the trouble and expense of small reward
and a visit to police headquarters if it
were certain that the object were to be
found there. The rooms devoted by the
street railways to the articles found in their
cars are rarely visited and the public in
difference thus manifested to the recovery
Of its small losses is sometimes astonishi

Havana's Clamorous Church Bells

Havana-When in other cities of the
world the church bells peal out from their
high towers, slowly and solemnly, with a
dignity taken from the sky, from the grave,
the hereafter, the Throne of Judgment
voices high in air calling with the delibera.
ton of fate, the sweetness of hope, the
austerity of profound mystic thing-they
make the devout listen to each stroke, and
they make the inidels feel all the height
and width of a blue sky, Sunday morninS
golden with sun drops. But-when at blear
dawn you are sleeping sleep of both the
Just and unjust and a man climbs into an
adjacent belfry and begins to hammer the
everlasting, numbering hades out of the bell
with a club-your aroused mind seems to
turn almost instinctively toward blasphemy
Religion does not commonly 60 off like an
alarm clock. and, as symbolized by the bells,
it does not usually sound like brickbat
riot in a tin store However, this is the Ha-
vana method. l fancy they use no such
term here as bell ringer" they probably
use bell fighter But such passion. Such
fury. One can lie awake for hours and listen
to the din of conflict. which reminds one
of nothing but terrible combat between
two hordes of gigantic blood-mad knights
of the Middle Ages. whose armor had un-
fortunately been constructed from resonant
metal. On feast days the clamor simply
shakes out of one all faith in human intel
ligence. 1t is so endless, so insane, so like
the din of monkeys with tin kettles. But
the bells must be very good bells. Other
wise they could not stand these tremendous
assaults. The bell fighters must be very
good men, Otherwise they would soon sue
rumb to the physical >train.-Stephen Crane
in the New York journal.
