this week in Brooklyn. Mr.. Rust was
widely known as an engineer OF ability
and several important railways were
laid out by hi m. The late Col. A. B.

with whom he was closely identified in

Noyes.
Miss Anna Noyes, matron ofBrightlook
Hospital, who has been i'll with gastritis
for several weeks, died yesterday after
noon. She was the only child OF Mr.. and
Mrs. c. A. Noyes, of South Kirby. She
attended the Normal School at Johnson,
afterwards teaching in different places in
the state with signal success.
Later she went to the Mary Fletcher
Hospital, at Burlington, where she fitted
herself to be trained nurse and was for
a time at the Fletcher Relief. Since she
came here she has taken great interest in
the work and has been very successful.
She was woman OF high Christian char
acter and a member Of the West Concord
Methodist church. 1t seems quite a CO.
incidence that the hospital which has
started off so auspiciously as far as it's
helpfulness in the community is concerned
should have lost by death the first presi-
dent, Rev. DR.. Heath, and now it's FIRST
matron.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
A Good Show of Entries but no Crowd


The Caledonia county fair opened yes
terday morning and, as usual, there was
no crowd the first day. In many of the
departments the entries were ahead of
last year. This was true of the entries
OF poultry, sheep, oxen and steers and
perhaps in some OF the other depart
ments. In horses and cows there does
not seem to be the usual number, though
there is good number of entries of gents
drivers. Speedwell Farms enters some
OF their fine coach horses and Congress
man Grout enters for exhibition only his
prize winning stallion Henry S., some of
his colts and some matched pairs. In
the sheep department besides large ex-
bibit of Dorset Horned from Speedwell
Farms and some grades from E. H. Hoff-
man, G. H. Hilton of East Charleston
entered flock OF Leicesters, an entirely
new breed at our fair.
The largest exhibitor of poultry was
M. A. jenkins of Bradford who showed
some 40 entries of fancy fowls. E. & T.
Fairbanks and Co. had their fine herd of
Jerseys and George c. Cary had a big
showing of grades.
The exhibit Of NJ. M. Tatro attracted
much attention and consisted of thor
oughbred Jerseys and English Berkshire
pigs. This stock is bred at the Sulphur
Spring stock farm at West Concord. The
Jerseys and pigs came from the Hood
farm at Lowell, Mass, and are regis
tered stock. The pedigree of the stock is
given on cards attached to their stalls
and they are sure of blue tags when the
judges come around. Mr.. Tatro also ex-
hibted fine matched pair, three colts
sired by Raymont and one of them stan
dard bred.
The entries in the vegetable depart
ment consisted Of three large exhibits,
those of Mr.. Woodruff Mr.. Pierce of
North Danville, and Winfield Hastings.
The whole collection as arranged by Mr..
Bandy proved very attractive.
Floral Hall was well filed with ladies'
handiwork, works OF art and creditable
exhibits from our local merchants, and a
more extended account of the whole fair
will be given next week.
To-day is expected to be the big day
and the management have provided
many attractions. The races include
the green county, the 2.1S and the 2 35
class. Some last horses have entered in
all these races.
During the afternoon there will be
vaudeville exhibits in front of the grand
stand, the exhibition OF the automobile
and the balloon ascension.

How to Raise Trout.

Supt Titcomb has issued an attractive
booklet entitled "a Chapter on the Arti-
fetal Propagation of the Brook Trout"
and the brochure shows how individuals
may comply with the amended law of
the legislature of 1898 and stock their
streams at small expense by buying
trout eggs and Matching them at their
own home. Mr.. Titcomb explains very
clearly all the processes ofraising the fish
and there are numerous illustrations of
the material to be used in the private
hatchery. One illustration shows Henry
O'Malley and M. j.. Merrill transferring
eggs from trays and the picture is good
one. In the first and last pages of the
booklet are advertisements telling where
eggs or fry can be bought. The pamph-
let is an excellent help TO anyone inter-
ested in fish culture.

At Howe Opera House.

Quite large audience greeted "The
Real Widow Brown" at the Howe opera
house last Friday evening and were de-
lightfully entertained for nearly three
hours.
A light plot ran through the entire
play and for comedy it was a little out
of the ordinary and therefore more inter.
esting. The parts were well taken and
showed that all were artists.
The specialties were fine especially the
work of Teddy. The play was under the
management OLA. Q Scannon which in
itself is guarantee of first class play,
and they may be sure of an audience
whenever they come to St. Johnsbury.
The Sunshine of Paradise Alley" which
will be given Saturday evening is closely

aud incidents common to everyday life
of the world. Tickets 35, so, and rs

The Y. RI. c. A.

The annual meeting of the Young
Mems Christian Association was held at
the Association rooms last week Tuesday
evening.
Officers for the ensuing year were elect
ed as follows:
Pres, A. H. Barbour.
1st Vice Pres, Rev, A. c. Hussey.
I'd Vice Pres, c. c. Bingham.
Sec. and Treas, Charles W. Steele.
Directors, above officers and Rolfe
Cobleigh, d. Y. Comstock, Henry Fair
banks Rev. 6. w. Hunt, Robert Mac
klnnon, George Ranney, w. P. Smith,
Rev. G. c. Waterman.
On account OF the present financial
condition of the institution, the building
is temporarily closed, but it is hoped
that sufficient funds will be raised and
sufficient interest manifested to warrant
re.opening early in October. A public
meeting will be announced soon to de-
termiue the advisability of continuing
the Association work. There can hardly
be doubt that such building is needed
in st. Johnsbury for boys and young
men to find wholesome amusement in,
during their leisure hours, and the pre-
sent apparent lack of interest in the AS
sociation probably is not conclusive that
st. Johnsbury will not support and does
not want the Y. M. c. A.
The lecture course committee will have
sufficient backing by citizens of the town
to assure course the coming season as
good and probably better than usual.

SALUTING IN THE ARMY.
A Thing Which Volunteers Never
Learn How to Do as the
Regulars Do It.

] One thing which the volunteers find
II hard to do-a thing which perhaps
they will never do in anything like the
form in which the regulars do it's %
salute officers. Take volunteer who
is bronzed and big like n regular, and
put him in regulars clothes and send
him out on the street, and he would
certainly betray himself as a volunteer
at his first meeting with an officer.
The regular, walking on the street,
salutes every officer he meets by rails
ing the Strengthened fingers of his
right hand to the brim of his hat, just
over the right eye, and keeping them
there until the officer has passed. The
volunteer cannot be made to hold his
hand there in any such way, says the
Boston Transcript.
II he salutes strange officer of low
rank at all, he salutes him with the
quick dash which is the regular Off
GERS salute to the private. If the reg
ular soldier is seated when an officer
approaches in camp, on the street or
anywhere else, he rises, faces the Off
GER, stands very erect, and makes this
salute. No one ever sees volunteer
private do this. A regular cavalryman
trying to get his horse across the
bridge while an electric car was cross
ing it from the other direction. The
horse was plunging and leaping wildly,
and the soldier had to work hard to
control him. AT this moment young
second lieutenant of Ohio volunteers
came along the footway. In the midst
Of his horses gyrations the mounted
fplar managed to salute the pedes-
trfn officer in proper form. The smile
ofkdmiration and satisfaction on that
yobng officers face was worth going
lo1R way to see.

SAILOR HATS TRYING.
TIT Low-Crowned, NarrOw-Brimmed
Ones Worn This Year Are =.
= UnDecOmfng.

The low-crowned, narrow-brimmed
straw sailor of the season is going to
rob the summer girl of much of her
beauty, says the New York Commercial
Advertiser. Several dozen women of
all degrees of good looks fitted sailor
hats on at one of the big shops and
gazed disapprovingly in the mirror at
themselves. There were all sorts of
sailor hats on the tables and counters,
low crowned, narrow-brimmcd ones OF
coarse Straw, higher crowned, broader
brimmel ones of fine straw, and var
ious versions of each variety. The
salcswoman declared that they were
all this years model. The customers
murmufcd that only the low-crowned,
broad- brimmed hats were new. Then
they continued fitting on and frown-
ing at themselves and smiling derisive-
ly at each other.
81 never saw such n fright" said one
young woman, as she resumed her own
fowery hat after vainly searching for
a becoming sailor among the low
crowned, coarse affairs. 81 shall hunt
up my last years hat and wear that,
1t is pretty and makes me look well,
anyway" -
"But these are considered very styl-
ish," said the saleswoman, placing a
little hat on her own head, where it
looked about the size of postage
stamp. "They are made like boys
hats and boys hats and shoes and col
lars are the models for the best styles
this season, you know"

The time seems ripe when the West
should demand, and demand in no un-
certain tones, that it receive its share of
appropriations for internal improve
ments. The river and harbor bill of the
Congress Just ended carried $4,000, 600
for such improvements, S3S, 100000 of
which was to be expended in the East,
and 81 ,OOO,0OO in the West. Does this
seem fair division of the peoples
money? AS Senator Warren and Sena-
tor Carter said in the Senate in the dis
cussion of this bill, the West pays its
share of taxes and it should receive its
share of benefits. 1t should receive, to
be used for storage reservoirs on the
headwaters of tile navigable rivers, its
share of the vast sums spent annually
in the Eastern United States for the
widening and dredging of rivers and
improvement Of harbors.

American City Government.

In the great towns of the United
States there has been of late much to
study and to observe. The path of
municipal progress in America is not
without its impediments and difficulties; !;
but progress. nevertheless, is real and
striking, as of course it must be If the
nation is to keep its place in the van
Our cities are SO large and have become
so important relatively to the States in
which they are situated that to abandon
them to bad government and evil social
conditions would be to poison the
whole life. public and private, of our
commonwealth and our republic.
Henceforth, therefore, it will not do to
say that we in America are successful

The New Game Law.

Speaking of the new game law the
Denver Republican says:
About all that eau be said in favor OF
the new game law, over the one which
it superseded, is that it is probably
constitutional, while the old law stood
in grave doubt
1.-The law now restricts the season for
deer to time when they are most
easily killed, and cuts off from the
pleasures of hunting big game large
class of citizens who have to take their
vacations in the summer time, and
want to camp when camp life is most
attractive. The result will be OF course
to deprive the people of the game region
of large amount of revenue, while
saving the deer to very slight extent.
The most noticeable thing about the
legislatures deliberations ever che
measure was that the most vigorous and
most successful dlsputantS were from
the parts of the state where there is no
game.
I'm view of the radical changes made
and the elimination of most of tn, novel
features of his original draft, it is hard
ly fair to call this new law after Judge
Beaman. His measure represented the
sentiment of large number of the
sportsman of the state. This law is
only battered fragment. In its present
state, however, it is the most compre-
hensive and accurately worded game.
law that has been placed on the statute
books, and on this account, if OH no
other, it deserved the executive ap-

DONE WITH A RIFLE.
The Head of an Indian Shot Out with
One Hundred and Fifty
Two Bullets.

Adolph Toepperwein, San Antonio's
marvellous young rifle shot, lately per-
formed another of his astonishing
feats, reports the Philadelphia Record.
With a .22-caliber rifle he stood at a
distance of 90 feet from double thick
ness of heavy paper. about three feet
long by two feet wide, and shot on it
the outlines of an Indians head. 1t
took exactly 152 shots to do the trick.
1t was free-hand drawing, as the figure
was not traced on the paper before
hand. This made the feat especially
difficult, as "Tep" had to place every
shot with reference to where its prede-
cessor had gone, and where all the fol-
lowing shots were to go. In other
words, he had to have every detail of
the drawing" planned out and con-
stantly in his minds eye while he was
shopting. One shot fred fraction of
an inch wild would have spoiled the
whole picture.
