MINOR NOTES.

The Bellows Falls Times formally an
nounces this week its support of Gen.
Grout in next years senatorial canvass.
Both the st. Jobnsbury papers have made
a similar declaration.
The New York Herald says that pow
erful rival to the Bell Telephone company
is in the field, backed by the Western
Union Telegraph company and by VIM.
G. Whitney, George Gould and other
noted capitalists. The new company is
said to have options on many independent
concerns, and it proposes to invade all of
the big cities.
A poem by Kipling on the Transvaal
crisis is the notable feature, to which every
body will turn first, in the November num-
ber of McClure's Magazine. In England
they are placing the poem even above "The
Recessional," and certainly it is a very
powerful and inspriting utterance. In
order to get it into the present number,
the editors of McClure's had the poem sent
by cable from London.

ers, preachers, attorneys, engineers,
captains of industry, and leaders in com
mercial life. 1t cannot be doubted that
every line of activity in this country today
is practically dominated by men and
women who are the products of higher
education, and that it is felt that the
higher education has this vital relation to
the welfare of the country is seen in un-
precedented enrolment of students in all
of the higher institutions in the land. and
in the millions upon millions of dollars
which are being bestowed for the better
equipment of these schools.
The sentiment of all the people is in
harmony with an expression of Mr.. Depew
who once said in public: "He who gives
money to the hospital gives it well he who
gives money to the asylum gives it well;
but he who gives it to the school gives it
best. For" said he, falling into the Lam
guage of the railway, so familiar to bin,
1.-The money given to the hospital goes for
repairs, but the line can never be made as
good as new, and the earnings are not suf-
ticient to keep the concern going. The
money that goes to the asylum where are
the incurable in mind and body-that is
where humanity is in the hands of re-
ceiver, and the money goes to keep the
receiver in funds, 70 keep a bankrupt con-
cern going. 1t is all very well. But the
money that goes to the school goes for new
construction, a new line, new cars and
new locomotives. The line runs through
the region where Gods acres have never
felt the bene6cent influen ce of the plow; it
runs past spot where the mill may be
built; it runs past the spot where the
home may be established; it runs past the
place where cities may spring up; and it
carries out and distributes right and left
the missionaries of God for the enlighten-
ment of mankind and the salvation of the
republic"
Devotional exercises opened the conven-
tion this morning, and then the president,
Mason S. Stone of Montpelier, who is also
the state superintendent of education, gave
his annual address.
In preface Mr.. Stone spoke of the chief
factors which operate in civilization, races,
language and government, and presented
the Importance of the free public school
system as the one dominant factor in re-
ducing the mixed population of this coun-
try to a homogeneous people. The spirit
of the free public school is Anglo-Saxon,
its APPLICATION Purtanic, and its end Amer
lean. He urged the loyalty of the asso-
citation to some definite purpose for the
awakening of educational interests and
the accomplishment of desired ends.
Mr.. stones address was followed by two
interesting papers, the first by Principal
Walter E. Ranger of johnson on "The
Correlation of Moral and Civic Culture"
and the other by Edward G. Ward of
Brooklyn on "a Complete Explanation of
the Rational or Ward Method of Reading"
One of the leading addresses of the con-
vention will be given at 1850 this evening
by President Tucker Of Dartmouth college
on 'The Rights of the Period of Educa-
tion."
1t is expected that over 300 teachers,
representing all parts of the state, will at
tend the sessions this afternoon and even
ing and tomorrow morning.

business. And these are for only 10 out of

Ottar Mergenthaler, As, who died from
consumption at Baltimore Saturday, ranks
as one the master inventors of the century.
He came to this country from Germany in
his boyhood, and learned the watchmaker's
trade in Washington. His early typeset-
ting machines were failures, but he perse-
vered until 1885, when he perfected the
linotype substantially in its present shape.
The machine, now in use in the principal
newspaper offices of the United States, has
cheapened the cost of composition aud
multiplied publications. The many -paged
dailies could scarcely be published at a
profit but for Mergenthaler's wonderful
invention. The economies which machine
typesetting makes possible permit pub
fishers to increase the number of their
pages and to go to greater outlay in the
collection and veri6catiOn of news. Mr..
Mergenthaler realized fortune from his
invention, but only small part, probably,
of what it has brought to others. He had
been in failing health some years. He
was greatly interested in several inventions

All the world loves a lover, and when
the lover happens to be Admiral Dewey
and his fianc6 Mrs. Hazen, charming
widow, there is an unusual combination
for fluctuations. The wedding will take
place before the end of this month. Mrs.
Ha zens husband, the lateGen.W w. b. Hazen,
who died 10 years ago, was chief signal Of
ficer of the army. Mrs. Hazen is sister of
John Il. Mclean, the millionaire owner of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, who is the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor in Ohio. She
is about so years of age, has reddish brown
hair and youthful features; her height
medium, and her figure plump and well
preserved. She is wealthy in her own
right, and owns one of the handsomest
residences in Washington, recently occu-
pied by Gen. Alger. She has of late, how
ever, lived with her mother, Mrs Wash
ington Mclean, and Admiral Dewey was
a guest at the latters house on returning
from Manila. Mrs. Hazen was formerly a
leader in social circles in Washington, be-
ing sought after for her brightness, vivac-
ity and wit. Since the death of her son a
year ago she has lived quietly, dividing the
time between the home of her mother, and
her own country residence in the suburbs
of Washington.

Col. HaskIns'. candidacy for Congress.

Col. HaskIns's Candidacy for Congress.
Judge L. NJ. Read announces that he
will not be candidate for election to Con-
gress next year in letter published in the
Bellows Falls Times this week Judge
Reads letter and the comment of the
Times thereon are printed in full in this
paper. The friends of Judge Read will
learn with regret of his withdrawal, but
his action, taken in this way and at this
time, involves no sense of defeat, and he
will lose nothing of the consciousness of
strength and support among the people of
this county and of the district, which he
proved himself to have in the campaign of
1898.
His withdrawal leaves a clear field for
Col. Kittredge Haskins in this end of the
Second district, and there can be no doubt
that Col. Haskins will go into the conven-
tion next year with the unanimous sup
port of Windham county, a fact which
will give his friends renewed confidence
that he will prove himself easily the sue
cessful candidate. The candidacy of Col
Haskins is one which has taken form
largely by the force of circumstances, or by
the "natural drift of things" 1t was the
cordial tender of support from prominent
men in all parts of the district, many of
them friends of other candidates, during
the session of the legislature last year, that
caused Col. Haskins seriously to consider
the matter, and later on to declare himself
a candidate.
Few men have entered the field so well
equipped for service in Congress as is he.
Always a student of public affairs, and
deeply interested in current political events,
this natural aptitude has been developed
and disciplined by four terms in the Yer
mont legislature, one of these in the speak
er's chair. Lifelong practice at the bar
has made him a ready analyst of public
questions and kept in constant use his ma
tive ability as public debater. No man
in this county, and probably none in the
state, has ever done more faithful and con-
vincing and unselfish work on the stump
in successive political campaigns, covering
almost the life of generation, than has
he.
During his term in the speakers chair
at Montpelier two years ago Col. Haskins
unmistakaby impressed himself on the
legi stature as a man of strength, of ability
and resource as leader of men, and
proved himself to have a well-grounded
popularity with the people of the state.
He is undoubtedly the leading candidate
at this stage of the proceedings, and there
Is ample reason for the belief that the
cordial and united support of his friends
when the years campaign opens next
spring will continue and increase this lead
until the day of the convention.
We have no purpose to open an active
ca nvass at this premature date, but the
public Withdrawal of Judge Read makes it
opportune for this much to be said.

The Ludlow Tribune brings out Hon.
Hugh Henry of Chester, now pension
agent with Office at Concord, n. H., as a
congressional candidate, on the strength
of a letter received from him in which he
stated: "My legal residence is still in
Vermont, and may want to enter yet
into the senatorial, congressional or guber-
material race; am waiting to see which
class gets the most entries, and then
come in; suppose entries can be made up
to within few days of the 'trot'?" The
pace will be fast in the representative
class, and Mr.. Henry will be even more
liable to see the distance flag fall in the
senatorial race. The only chance left for
him is the governorship.

The mules, by stampeding and carrying
away the ammunition, ,casued defeat to the
British near Ladysmith Monday in which
they lost over 1900 men, killed, wounded
and missing. During the civil war pack
of mules siampeded from Union camp
and ran directly toward the camp of the
Confederates, making the night hideous
with their noises. The Confederates, be-
lieviDg that the enemy was charging, re-
treated in great disorder. This led a
Union officer to recommend that the much
maligned mules, "who are without pride of
ancestry or hope of posterity," be given the
brevet rank of horses. Probably the Beers
will now "second the motion"

President James J. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad believes the prosperity
upon which this country has entered is
destined to continue 20 years. He backs
up his belief by ordering built two steam
ships 20 feet longer than the Oceanic, the
largest vessel ever afoat. They will run
to Asatic ports in connection with the
Great Northern railroad.
