ALook About Rome.

The students and townspeople gener-
allv who were at Academy Hall last Fri
day evening had pleasant hour and a
half in and about Rome, under the
Guidance of Prof. D. Y. Comstock, and
looked and listened interestedly while
that gentleman exhibited a series of
views and told the story connected with
them. The new lantern recently pro-
cured for the Academy's use is a fine one,
and the pictures were thrown upon the
screen with gratifying distinctness. The
first included scenery in Pompeii and
were supplementary to the Professors
lecture at Music Hall some time ago.
Then followed a large number giving
vivid representations of persons, build.
ings, views, and beautiful spots in the
"Eternal city," the lecturer meanwhile
describing things as he had seen them
and paying tribute to the artistic
features of a city concerning which hur-
ried tourists had often said much with
out knowing much.
This was the second illustrated lecture
given here by Prof. Comstock, and our
people will be interested to know that
others are promised by him.

A st. Johnsbury Boy Honored.

President Mckinley has appointed
William A. Hutchinson postmaster at
Oak Park. ILL.,, an office commanding a
salary OF $4,000 year. There were half
a dozen aspirants for the office, but the
Vermonter had the best endorsement and
was given the plum.
William A. Hutchinson was born in
this town in 1916 and when 16 years
old entered the CALIFORNIAN Office. In
1866 he struck out for the West, with
$50 in his pocket. He landed in Chicago
and became compositor on the Even
ing Journal. He worked his way up
until he was made business manager of
the paper. In 1894 he left the Journal to
become advertising manager of the
Tribune. A year ago he had to resign
on account OF his health, and then he
took southern trip to recuperate. He
is a member OF the Oak Park Club and
for % years has been resident of this
suburb of Chicago, foremost in the re-
publican ranks. prominent in social lite
and factor in church circles. His old
friends in st. Johnsbury extend hearty
congratulations.

Big Railroad Meeting.

The meeting which will be held in St.
Johnsbury on May % of the brother
hoods and auxiliaries in the railway
train service promises to be one of the
largest gatherings ever held in this town.
1t is the intention to have one of these
meetings in the state every year and at
the last meeting in st. Adams $500 dele
gates were present, including many of
the national officers. During the day
there will be secret meetings and the
public meeting will be held in the after
noon. The address of welcome will be
given by some one from St. Johnsbury
and Gov. Grout and Congressman Grout
will also be invited to address the gath
ering. 1t is quite possible that there will
be at least one public reception, as the
Board of Trade have taken up the mat
ter and hope to arrange for one.

March.

Out of the cavern of Time, I spring,
On the dancing feet of the wind;
Wildly, OIL wildly my way wing,
While the gray clouds hurry behind,
Trailing a mantle tar over the sky,
And the maniac winds go believing by.
The scudding grasses all shivering fly.
And the plants crouch down to the earth,
The old oaks groan and the poplars sigh,
But laugh with a frenzied mirth,
And call on the tempest to mock their cries
With thunderous tongues and flaming eyes
Not trembling tree but lifts its arms
With vain appeal to the skies,
Oh! love their terrors and wild alarms,
And the mercless. mad replies
From the foam.fecked mouths of the chafini
hounds
That hold in leash in my hunting. grounds

An Inventive School Boy.

In a schoolroom not more than hun
dred miles out Of St. Johnsbury, pupil
who had not lived squarely up to the
regulations was required to write series
of words considerable number of times
as penalty for his transgressiou.
Shortly after he had begun to do pen
ance something unusual was noticed in
connection with his writing material
and investigation showed that he had
bound two pencils firmly together Sc
that the points would do double duty at
one motion and consequently enable him
to perform his task in half the time. The
scheme worked finely, and the genius dis
played in conceiving and carrying out
this plan for the shortening of his own
term of Imprisonment was looked upon
as mitigating circumstance" in con-
nection with his offence.

The women Of to-day are not as strong
as their grandmothers.
They are bearing burden in silence
that grows heavier day by day; that is
sapping their vitality, clouding their hap
piness, weighing them down with the woe
Of III health.
Mrs. Alexander B. Clark, Of AT Michi-
gan Avenue, Detroit is typical woman
Of to-day. A wife with such ambition as
only loving wife can have. But the
joys Of her Life were mafred by the ex-
istence Of disease.
Suffering as thousands Of her sisters have
suffered, she almost despaifed Of Life and
yet she was cured.
To-day she is well!
She wants others to profit by her ex-
perience; to grow well; to enjoy health,
to be as happy as she is.
"For five years suffered with ovarian
trouble" Is Mrs. Clark's own version Of
the story. N was not free one single day
from headache and intense twitching pains
In my neck and shoulders.
"For months at time would be con-
fined to my bed.
AT times black spots would appear
before my eyes and I would become Blind.
My nerves were in such state that step
on the floor unsettled me.

Burlington to be "SheIled."

Battery Park, Burlington, is to be
furnished with nearly hundred eight.
inch shells from the ordnance department
at Washington as an accompaniment to
the four cannon that have done duty as
ornaments on that park for some time
Now, when the Spanish fleet gets into
Burlington harbor it can be given a
warm reception; though the fact of the
matter is that our friends of the Queen
City were thinking of additional orna-
mentation for the park, and not of war,
when they asked for the shells.

Four years we fought like devils.
