Dcvnntly to be Wi.hed.

Speaking of chages in Vermont rail-
road affairs the Burlington Free Press
says: SO far as the Rutland road is con-
cerned it will not be surprising if the
line is again made part of the Central
Vermont system. The Delaware and
Hudson people, who own a controlling
interest in the Rutland, do not appear to
be anxious to operate it so long as they
can control it and thus be in a position to
make satisfactory terms for the distri-
button of coal in this direction; other
wise they would naturally run it at the
present time. For similar reason it is
fair to argue that the Fitchburg company
do not desire to make the Rutland a part
of their system, although it is not i'm
possible that the prospect of change
may sharpen their desire in this direc-
tion. Under the circumstances it would
not be strange if the Central and Rutland
were to get together.

On Tuesday morning, Aug. 10, w. II.
S. Whitcomb of Burlington, VT, was
here to complete the proofs of death in
the case of the late Warner 5. Drenan of
Hardwick, Vt, Mrs. Dreuan being here
at the time with her sister, Mrs. George
A. Morse. The claim was paid last week
by check dated Aug. II. We make a
note of this. not because it is unusual
with Mr.. WhltcOmb or the Equitable, but
because it is always so. Ninety-three
per cent of its claims in June were paid
the very day its proofs were presented.
Some neglect on the part of the claim
ants was the occasion Of the delay in
the others. For thirty years Mr.. Whit
comb has come and gone i'm his steady
business-lille way. and in all that time
paying over 5000. 900: not single con-
tested claim has arisen and not days
delay has been OccasiOned. Such an
lgency of such a society is worthy Of
patronage. Too much praise cannot be
awarded to it. Mr.. WhitcOmb is without
doubt the best known Insurance man in
Vermont. He has canyassed 227 towns
of the 244 in this state. He Is so well
known to our people that when we say
that to no man is more praise due for
the high standing of insurance in Yer
mont than to Mr.. Whitcomb, we think
it will be at once conceded.-News and

A st. Jonnsbury despatch of Wednes

children. He saw the militia marching
to the war of 1912 and heard President
Monroe deliver an address in Woodstock
in 1917. With common school educa-
tlOn he entered the mercantile business,
acquiring an ample fortune before 1872.
Afterwards he was engaged in the real
estate business and banking. For 20
years he was vice-president of the Farm

Removing here in 1869 he organized the
Merchants National bank, of which he

Thaddeus r. Fletcher, whose daughter
was the munificent founder of the Mary
Fletcher hospital and the Fletcher Free
library.
He was elected captain of the State
militia In 1926 and colonel in 1898. In
politics he was a whig, casting his first
vote for j. Q. Adams in 1925. He then
became a republican and has voted at
every election to that of Mckinley. He
represented Underhill, VT, in the state
legislature in 1913, 4, ), and Shelburne
In lSGl-G2. He owned farm of seven
hundred acres in Shelburne adjoining

Vermont's distinguished patriot and

Beulah, who died in 1893. Three child
ren have been born to them, of which

Senator Chandler had a conference
with President Mckinley upon the
subject of bimetallism, and he said after
the close of the Interview: "The Presi-
dent stands firmly in favor of interna-
tional bimetallism, as promised in the St.
Louis platform. He considers the nego-
tiations with the European powers only
temporarily suspended on account of
the peculiar condition of affairs in India,
and it is the presidents intention again
TO send his ENJOYS to Europe as soon as
the conditions are favorable for continu-
ing negotiations" Senator Chandler
added the opinion that the president was
as earnestly in favor of bimetallism,
"the use of both metals as standard
money!" as the senator himself.

But 5he one thing which we claim as

sal Will have its universal creed. That
is authoritative which is universal III
the sense that it commendS itself to ev

it follows, of course, that in the Con-

Unitarian, the local church is the CEN

several styles of tailor gown, remains 10
be found out later on, when dress
makers begin to busy themselves III
earnest with spring gowns. One of the
very old styles revived is the deml-
trained evening dress, finished with
long, slender peplum points, the skirt
of one rich material, the long points OF
another; these two fabrics are repeated
on the bodice to complete the double
effect. Silk braid put on cloth skirts
on wide trellis patterns. this trimming
covering more than half the depth Of
the skirt, is very popular garniture.
This elaborate and stylish effect is car
ried out on the full blouse waist often
front and back, or the crossing braids
appear only on the front of fusi
blouse worn beneath an open jacket
made of the cloth.
The return of frills, fiounces and skirt
draperies was inevitable. There is al
ways a correlation between these mat
ters So lorg as the stiffiy lined skirt
of exaggerated width kept its ground
it was impossible to further distend 1t
with trimming, but no sooner are the
fiaring breadths reduced to sheath-like
proper tions than the trimmings appear
as a natural consequence as they have
done often in times past.
Russian blouses of black, green, blue,
brown or gray silks of various weaves,
plain and full across the fronts, or laid
in narrow tucks at the top to form Il
deep pointed yoke, will be worn next
season with skirts of faille, cloth, rep
ped wool, or some of the many novel
"fancies" in silk and wool. To the
blouses will be added jeweled belts,
whose setting of semiprecious stones
will match or contrast handsomely
with the color of the silk forming 1t.
Many of the new blouse models still
open down the left ide, While others
fas.en directly down the front and turn
back with wide, short revers that, as j
rule are made of the blouse material
alone and not faced with a different
fabric Odd and pretty models are
formed entirely of silk braid about half
an inch wide made into shape by cross
ing lines of the fiat braid, forming wide
openwork block or diamond patterns.
These dressy affairs are sometimes COW
cred with jet nail heads and pendants;
they are made a little low in the neck
and sleeveless, and are designed to slip
on over a second high-necked, long
sleeved silk or satin blouse in ceriSe.
pink green or some other becoming
color.
On looking over rare old book con-
tanning fashions of 120 years ago, it
is noted that many of the modes of the
present time are almost Identical IN
feature with those of long ago. For
instance we find the circular skirt with
