Al odd case is reported from Lille.
in France. A chemist who weighs $40
pounds bought a third-class ticket for
a railway journey, but found the doors
both of the third and second-class car
too small to admit him. So he squeezed
into first, and refused to pay the ex-
cess. The company therefore sued
him for the balance of the iare, their
contention being that first-class com.
partment alone would receive him, he
ought to have taken a first-ciass ticket.
The court supported the company and
gave judgment against the chemist.

Almost Frozen to Death In IA Street Car.
Cleveland, March 1.-Street cars are
likely to cause Miss Lola Hoffman, of
Collinwood, to lose her life. Some
weeks ago Miss Hoffman rode on car
from Collinwood to Cleveland. The
day was bitterly cold. There was no
FIRE in the car. The snow drifts made
progress slow, and the car was on the
road several hours. When Miss Hoff-
man reached the place of her employ
ment she fell unconscious. Her hands
were frozen. She was taken home.
Monday it was said at Miss Hoffman's
home that she would never again be
able to use her hands. Her entire right
arm is numb, while her fingers are stiff
Ind uncomfortable.

Sensational Journalism.

Rev. j. Edward Wright, in his sermon on
Sensational Journalism" at the church
of the Messiah, Sunday evening, said that
some OF the magazines had censured news
papers for the employment of sovenly and
unframed writers, which they claimed in
jured the mentality, but never made refer
enCe to the printing of articles OF sensa-
tional nature. In referring to sensational
articles he said that "f they kept to the
facts all the better for the facts, but il they
did not it was worse for the facts" En-
gland he said, had some time ago tried to
prevent the publication in the public press
of all articles alluding to suicides or other
sensational matters. In this country they
aired to the fullest possible extent and de-
picted in urgent terms such doings while
police and other court proceedings are il
lustrated in iurid pictures.
AT the time of tle blowing up of the
Maine the preacher said it was appropri-
ately remarked that what we most needed
was some one to head off the press, which
was referred TO as the primary ,hool of
crime, and which Dr. Elan had said was
responsible for one half of all Of the wrong
deeds committed. He did not mean to say
that the publishers Of the sensational papers
meant to demoralize or TO make bad worse.
Their course OF procedure in this direc-
tion was prompted by their greed for cilcu
lation, the which was essential to keep up
paying advertising patronage They do
not appeal to the Intelligent but to the NOR

greater extent in this country than any
other. AS the American passes by beer,
cricket and other things for those that are
more Intoxicating, so he oversteps conser-
vative journalism for that of the yellow sort.
His purchasers are mainly with the work
ing class and they become so infatuated
with the Intoxicating articles that it is al
most impossible for them to go to work
without their morning draught. 1t has
been said that we should refuse to purchase
these papers. We should say over and
| over gain that we will not buy them. AS
a rule the readers of these papers place 10
confidence in what they read in them.
They buy them to see what they have to
say about things that afford a sensational
subject. 1t has been suggested that it
would be better to have one decent edition
for the home and another for the streets
aud the slums. II is more than probable
that the slum edition would find its way in-
to the home. 1t has been remarked as a
wonder that men of respectability would
write for these papers.
Again il is remarked that it is better to
have men who have little conscience for
good and the right than men entirely void
OF conscience as the writers OF these papers,
whose writings are filed with contaminat-
ing virus He remarked that we were not
all Roosevets that we could call down the
editors of these yellow journals for taking
interviews and doing other like acts. He
said the ouly Offset for these bad papers
were those of the noble type, whose coll
umns were free from the sensation al
issue. Said Rev. Mr.. Wright in closing his
address: "If this country ever muzzles the
press it will be due 10 yellow journalism"

Roasting Apples at Wholesale.

There came very near being a serious
confagraton in the Vermont Central treigh
yard about - o'clock last night Some
one, evidently a Wholesale dealer in APP
plies, left an oil stove burning in freight
car, which was PARTIALLY filed with barrels
of that fruit. When Engineer Molloy drove
his train into the yard from Barre, at ~
O'Clock he saw blaze in the car where the
fruit was,
A hasty examination revealed the fact
that the stove was in flames and also the
barrels. He threw open the door and with
the assistance of Nightman Scott at the sta
tion the fire WIS extinguished. The barrels
were more or less burned and the apples
were roasting at a Wholesale rate. 1t is
more than likely that the ow wner Of the stock
has on hand this morning choice colleo-
ton of roasted frozen apples.

Musical Matters Moving.

Much favorable comment has been ex.
pressed regarding the article in Saturdays
JOURNAL relative to the forming of a music
al society in this city. For this the editor
OF the paper is grateful, but it may be said
in this connection that that was not the
prime motive of its production. What this
paper desires is the formation OF what it be.
lieves would be for the best interests of the
city az well as for the welfare ofindividuals.
The work can never be accomplished how
ever, by complimentary words or we'll wish
ing. There must be some kind OF tangible
effort put forth to begin the work of organ
izing. This can not be done by single in-
dividual or dozen, even. To make the
work successful it will necessitate the COM
bined efforts OF as mauy persons as there
are singers and musicians in Montpelier
and IL may be said with consistency every
one in the city interested in music, either
directly or indirectly. In calling the atten.
ton OF the benefits that would result to the
city by having such an organization in
Montpelier the JOURNAL makes no mistate-
ment. 1t simply advocates what il belives
IL for the best interests OF the city and sur
rounding towns. We firmly believe that
the committee in charge Of this important
matter will not weary by the wayside. II
rests largely with them, but the commun.
ity should not desert them. AS soon as the
proper time comes for them to render their
account to the general public, which will be
the organization, they will find ready hands
to take up the work which they will be-
gin and they will be rewarded by the "well
done" that will impress itself on their mem
ory for having begun one of the best move
ments ever inaugurated in this city. Until
the time comes for such relief, to those whC
arc bearing the burden in the heat OF the
day, let those who can and those who think
they can't lend helping hand in the way Of
Offering advice and encouragement.

Greater Montpelier,

SO far as the city of Montpelier is con-
cerned in the matter, the Charles street
bridge fight Is at an end, and it is well that
such is the fact. The facts in the case are
familiar to the general public, even from
its origin years ago. Whether or not the
idea of having a bridge at the point in
question is good one is no longer to be
bantered over by this city. There does not
appear to be anyone really at fault because
IL ever existed AS men have differed in
their opinions, from time immemorlal on
everything, so they differed in this matter.
While the variance of belief as to what was
right in the matter seemed to be bordering
well nigh onto state OF enlargement as
regards this city and Berlin, there were sea-
sons of apparent relenting and matters
assumed temporarily, at least, more modi-
fed state. Some spirited discussions have
emanated from this subject which have ap-
parently been the seed for hard feeling. Let
us take comfort that these things are of the
past
1t is said, Of course, that Montpelier used
this bridge question as coercive leverlto
bring Berlin 10 terms OF annexation. Ihls
does not appear to be the case. Be that az
it may, there is no comfort in harboring the
thought that it was 80. Montpelier Is show
ing becoming tendency to do for the Ber-
lin side, even before IL has become part OF
the city. And this 10 as it should be. There
should be no differences. What is fish for
one side should be fish for the other and
vice versa.
And while this matter is under discussion
it leads to subject that can not be enter
tanned in too serious light. II has been
limited aud talked that Berlin, when it
becomes part of Montpelier will be the
sixth ward OF the city," This is among the
possibilities but it should never be done. If
the citizens OF this city are anxious to obvi-
ate in future any factional feelings, as re-
CARDS Berlin, they will never allow her to
become lone ward across the river.
To bring that burg into the city Of Mont
pelier and thus 80 solidify the two that there
can never Ibe any feeling of division, can
not be accomplished by leaving her out
in the cold, 80 to speak. When the time
comes for making the formal annexation let
it be literally done. Make Berlin a part OF
two wards,of this city and let one Of Mont
pelier's wards be made into two parts.
Then amalgamate the four parts into two
wards. Elect one alderman from the Berlin
side and one from this side of the river.
This should result in an interlacing OF
municipal affairs snch as would warrant
union, and where there is union there IL
strength and peace should obtain. There is
no more Berlin and there should be no more

Written for the Advertiser and Gazette
Sheer cliffs rise high over the hol-
lows
Ger crests OF the waters that run,
Where wave after wave ever follows,
And leaps in the light of the sun,
On the cliffs and the crags of Napali,
the sound of their curing as one.
They clasp in their liquid embraces,
And kiss with the foam of their lips,
The vines that droop over the faces,
And sway in the haZy eclipse
OF the mists that enveIop the sleeps,
where the foam of the cataract
drips.
The waves with their weary insistance
Through ages of sunshine and rain,
Have met with unyielding resistance
The rocks to the stress and the strain
And the roll of the swoge have made
answer, ooh! waters We labor in
vain!"
The cliffs and the headlands are hoary
With salt of the sea, and the spume
Hath cast DER the boulders a glory
A wealth and enchantment of bloom
O. wild weeds in russell and crimson,
wrung out of the grey oceans
womb.
Here no human foot ever travels,
Where the red of the papala CLEANS,
No human hand ever unravels,
The tangles of wines; save in dreams
No ears that are human ere listened
to the laughter or plant of its
streams,
Streams Graded afar in the gIOOming
Of deep and outrageous woods;
Where haus and ohias are blooming
And birds in their merriest moods,
Awaken with music the echoes in the
depths of the far solitudes.
Depending in glory to grace them
Green vines from the SUBMITS droop
DER,
They clasp the rough crags and en-
brace them,
And trail to the foam-girlded shore,
To be lost in the ravening swOges that
beat on the cliffs evermore.
only look backward; I'm dreaming
OF days that are over and done,

versary Satisfactory Outlook.
HAMPTON, Va, April 22.-The thir-
tieth anniversary of the Hampton Nor
NAL and Agricultural Institute was
celebrated at the school on Wednesday
and Thursday, April 20 and q.
On Wednesday morning all depart
ments of the school were open for in
spection and attending to their usual
work. The guests occupied themselves
with visits to the class rooms. the
trade school. and Industrial depart
ments. the Whittier primary school
and the exhibits of school work, both
academic and industrial, shown in the
different rooms of the new agricultu-
raj and domestic science building. In
connection with the exhibit, the school
was fortunate this year in having as
loan for few days the complete
collection of exhibits of needlework
belonging to the New York Associa-
ton of Sewing Schools. This colIec-
ton. containing specimens not only
from American schools, but also from
the schools of the principal countries
of Europe and from the High Normal
School of Japan, was in charge Of Miss
Parsons, Miss Patterson, and Mrs.
Woolman of the executive board OF
the association.
On Wednesday afternoon the school,
the visitors, and the trustees gathered
on the lawn in front of the principal
house to listen to an address to the
senior class by DR.. Alexander McKen-
zie of Cambridge.
On Thursday morning, after an hour
and half of class room work, the
school and it's visitors assembled IN
the Memorial Church for the exercises
connected with dedication of the new
agricultural and domestic science
building DR.. J. L. NJ. Curry, formerly
United States Minister to Spain, and
now secretary of both the Peabody and
Slater educational funds, delivered the
principal address. DR.. Curry reviewed
the work of the school during the
thirty years of its existence, alludtne
10 Gen. Armstrong; last charge that
the work must go forward, and stat
ing that among all the schools OF Its
class in the South, Hampton still holds
the lead.
In the afternoon the large gymna'
sium was crowded during the delivery
of addresses by members of the grad
mating class, graduates already in the
field. and Prof. Bacl1us of Parker In
stitute. the Rev. Wilton Merle Smith
of New York, and Booker T. Wash
ington of Tuskegee. The speeches o
both students and graduates had
direct practical bearing on the two
nroblems at which the school is work
ing. and showed in their force, simpi
city and earnestness, that the spiri
of the school is still that infused int
if by Gen. Armstrong.
