PUT IT THROUGH.

The argument of Mr.. Lauterbach for the
Third Avenue Railroad Company in the Am
sterdamave. case at Albany on Tuesday pro-
ceeded upon the assumption that the people do
not now possess and cannot regain paramount
rights IN Il public thoroughfare. That was the
real basis of his contention and II is not con-
Ccalcd by the spectacular frppery which he
drapcd about II. The views proclaimed by Mr..
Lautcrbach are not novel or singular in any
respect His attitude is that which the trans
por,atiOn companies invariably assume when
over their relations and obligations to the con-
munty are brought into question. 1t is scarce
ly possible that Mr.. LauterbaCh in his indl-
vdual capacity believes onchalf Of what he
says as counsel and director Of the Third
Avenue company. He is man Of intelligence,
end his mental processes. though often forced
TO serve bad purpose, are still in pretty good
working order He doesn't really think for eX-
ample that the Amsterdam-ave. bill. with
the Ford amendment is 'the most glarng in
stance OF grand larceny on record" That IS
merely an extravaganza signifying that as
counsel and director he is much disturbed by
accommodating proofs that tho people of this city
arc IN dead earnest, and that members of the
Legislature on whose complaisance he relied
are becoming more and more reluctant TO
thwart them.
OF course, the railroad managers are greatly
troubled, and 1t Is entirely probable that they
are also greatly surprised. They have long
been accustomed TO having their own way: 10
treating the public as they pleased; TO ripping
open the streets at their convenience and sub
jec:ing tho people 20 enormous Inconvenience
for months al a time; TO paying taxes or not. rs

A Good Old King.

The old Emperor William was an
nounced to pay visit to Baden Baden,
says a writer in Chambers Journal,
while happened to be staying there in
1879. Shortly before his arrival he
must have accomplished feat in rail-
way carriage which "ohange artist"
at q music hall might have envied. On
ly few minutes before the train actin
ally stopped l had at point on the
line seen him in the costume of an old
gentleman en- voyage. When the sta
tion was reached, the kaiser stepped
forth on the platform blazing in a mag
nificent and bejeweled uniform. A lit
tie later on the same day his majesty,
once more in unofficial costume, was
inspecting on foot the pretty things in
the shops of the Baden kursaal, rather
suggestive, as they are. Of a section Of

ed away. The grand and kind old kali
ser had noted it all. The peasant pair
had just reached the exit from the in

Friendship Versus Cash.

When "Our Mutual Friend was
published, a highly Mandatory notice of
the book appeared in leading journal,
which was written by Mr.. K, an 40
quaintance of Dickens and very clever
man, who has been dead for many
years. Mr.. K. wrote to inform Dickens
Of the service which he had rendered
him, and not only did he receive a
grateful, not to say gushing, reply, but
the author was so delighted with the
timely lift which his book had been IA
vored with that he presented the re-
viewer with the manuscript Of the
work, which Mr.. x. afterward, it seems,
sold for $3.50.
Anthony Trollope had a stormy dis
cussion with Dickens at London din
ner party about the transaction, assert
ing with characteristic vehemence that
Mr.. K was wrong to inform Dickens
that he had written the review; that
Dickens was much to blame for having
taken any notice Of his letter, and that
the gift of the manuscript should neith-
or have heen offered nor accepted, as it
was practically bribery and corruption.

A Maharajah's Revenge.

The maharanee of Nepaul committed
suicide in horror at the Disagreement
which an attack of smallpox had caused
in her features. The maharajah, who
was passionately attached to her, first
wreaked his vengeance on the physi.
clans who had attended her in her i'll.
ness. Then he flew at higher game.
Out of the great temple he brought
the idols, placed loaded cannon before
them and babe gunners fire. In terror
at the proposed blasphemy they refused.
Thereupon the maharajah hanged sew
eral of them The survivors then sub
mitted, and the guns were fired and the
idols blown to pieces. -Leipsic Missions.

To Fight the Mileage Book Law.

Gov. Smith has appointed Lieut.. Gov.
Bates of St. Jobnsbury to defend the con-
sttutionality of the recent act of the legis-
lature compelling all railroads operating
over 100 miles in the state to issue two
cent mileages. This bill was aimed at the
st. Johnsbury and Lake Champaign rail-
road and the Rutland road, and both roads
will fight the case and carry it, if neces-
sary, to the United States supreme court.
The plaintiff railroads base their hopes on
Nebraska decision which declares that a
legislature cannot regulate freight and pas
senger rates OF railroad corporations which
csnnot ray their operating expenses out OF
their earnings. Judge Wheeler has granite d
temporary injunction restraining the St
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain ticket
agents from selling two-cent mileage books
and the case was heard at Brat'leboro yes
terday. When the bill compelling rail-
roads to issue these mileages was in the
Legislature, the railroad lobby made big
fight in the senate to defeat the measure,
and succeeded in getting tie vote on its
final passage. Lieut.. Gov Bates decided
against the railroad, the bill was passed
and soon became law.

Chandler on Railroads,

Senator Chandler OF New Hampshire
contributed remarkable letter to the
Manchester Union last week. His topic
was Ex-Gov Busiel and the enemies he
has made. The letter purports to be a
chapter on New Hampshire railroad his

"The test whether we are going further
down into the pit or beginning the upward
climb fright upon us, A great railroad
has sent its free passes to all alike and de-
mands that the Legislators shall vote on the

The Changes of the Year.

The past year has been prolific Of
changes in Bellows Falls and the future
promises still others; several families who
have been prominent in social and business
circles in town have moved to other places
and there are more to follow. Among
those who have already given up their resi-
dence are A. N. Burbank and family, j E.
Myers and family, S. D. Mcleod and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. F. G. Day, Mr.. and
Mrs. G. L. Aldrich, M. A. Durkee and
family. h. E Gotta and family, DR.. Vincent
Gosselin and family F. H. Babbitt and
family will leave in the early spring; accord
ing to rumor possible departures are Mr..
and Mrs. j. H. Blakley and Mr.. and Mrs.
s. w. Wilder, Jr. Mr.. Wilder has a
position in Boston and will probably make
that city his home, and in case he and Mrs
Wilder leave there is possibility that Mr.
and Mrs. c. H. Sawyer will follow. 1t is
also reported that William A. Hall and
family may hereafter pass more time in
New York than heretofore. John w.
Flint and family have also been away a
great deal during the past year.
This is an imperfect list Of changes and
prospective changes among the living; but
death has invaded the village and taken to
the last long rest some of our most promi-
nent citizens. To be sure there have been
several new arrivals but probably not
enough to keep the business ranks filed.

Milk Producers.

The annual meeting of tie New Eng
land milk producers union was held n
Boston, January Is. The president, o.
E. Patch, presided. The secretary and
agent OF the union presented his annual re-
port, which was carefully prepared, and
contained much Of interest. The readir G
was received with applause and it was voted
that the report be printed and 1000 copies
distributed to the different sections for The
use of the members. The report of the
treasurer showed receipts during the year
Of 1914 rs and expenditures Of $685.
25; leaving balance on hand OF $126.
The following Ulcers were elected tor
the enusing year: President, 0. E. Patch
of Concord vice presidents, J. G. Bartlett
OF New Hampshire, w. H. Hammond of
Connecticut, and C. S White of Vermont !;
secretary, L. 7 Hayward Of Come cticut
treasurer, H. 0. Hadley Of New Hamp-
shire; directors, H B. Chapman, j. E.
Shepard, Fred A. Richardson, j l.. Smith,
H. A. Hill, A. B. Ward, A. L. Nourse, C..
F. Copeland, w. N. Teal.
The question of the price of milk as now
paid by the contractors was brought up in
formally. The question was asked from
the floor Of the president if he believed
that the contractors are now paying fair
price for milk to the producers and are do
ing as well as could be expected of them.
THAT is my private opinion" said Presi-
dent Patch. "There is a great pressure
from producers at a distance tor mark ct
in Boston. If we demand too much we
nearby producers will be crowded to the
wall and the far-away producers will get
the Market
Ex-President Gleason felt that there are
two important sides to this question and
that the Boston side is as important as that
of the farmers. He once thought it best to
establish single can rates; but then they
were not troubled with a surplus. Some
ar e anxious now for such rate. "When
yOu lhohC 0OoUOn o lICO AOI huin,
said Mr.. Gleason, ''you reduce the price
several cents can. No man can take or
binary milk and make it into butter and get
anything like the price he would get for
sale milk Milk from Maine would like to
get 10 here in large quantities. There is
only step between the railroad commits
missioners OF Massachusetts and the inter-
state commissioners. If general rate
which we are asking for should be made we
would get two or three times as much milk
in Boston as we are getting today. We
have kept the price of milk in Boston
considerably in advance OF that in New
York. II we make Boston more of a free
market for milk we shall regret it!'-New
