Hon. Wendall Stafford Delivers
An ElOqnent Address at
the Congregational
Church.

Mr.. President, Veterans and Friends ::
i am to speak to you today on the
great subject of national destiny. 1t is
the subject that will be uppermost in the
minds OF all our people, wherever the
flag floats. The year that has just gone
has been the annus mirabiis-the year
of wonder--in our history. 1t rose out
of the ocean of time unprophcsied,
unforeseen and it has taken possession
of the mind and imagination of the
American people, just as the vast con-
tipent whose fringing islands rose on the
vision of Columbus four hundred years
ago took possession of the mind and
imagination of the world of that day,
bidding all nations flow into it and
marking new era in the progress of
the race. How impossible that on a day
like this we should talk or think of any
thing else
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-05-31

How is a nation to gam true self-con-
sciousness--io understand and realize its
destiny? Why, it is only on such II day
as this, when all its eXpectant future
takes shape and color in the light of that
past. How does man come to feel ard
know himself and his destiny? Why, it
IS in some solemn and sacred hour, on
some birthday, or some anniversary in
his own life that is full to him of sacred
associations. Then he sits down alone,
in the twilight, or under the deepening
stars. and it all comes back to him. He
has one long, clear vision of the life he
has lived. He sees where he has failed, :,
and where he has succeeded. lie
remembers all his defeats, and all his
trumphs. He counts over all his gains
and losses-all he has suffered, and all
he has won through suffering MS
he thinks, the whole takes on IL unity
He sees it rs one growth, one progress,
and he becomes conscious of one pur-
pose, running through, and under. and
above it all. As he b1oods his meditat-
ion dcrpens into character, and he feels
that he knows at last what he is and
wha, he is to he. In such an hour his
destiny shines clear.
1t is Just so with the Nation, that
great, manifold personality, that soul OF
all the people, which is no more figure
# speech, no fiction of the brain, but
one of the eternal realities of the spirit
nal world. Wherever men meet
today to honor that great image of our
Mothcrland by honoring, with her, the
sons and daughters who have poured
out their lives in her service, wherever
men shall hear and speak there is but
one objectionable sin that can be com
mitted against her, and that is the crime
of falsehood and insinccrity. | believe
that the destiny of this nation will take
shape and color for all time today, us
she sits alone and summons up the past
around her. All over her wide domain
men are meeting as we meet here, and
the selfconsciousnes of this people is
today trying the great question that
confronts it by the test of its nobleSt
achievements and in the light of its loft
lest ideals. This is the Sabbath OF
patriotism. y
believe this nation has always felt
that it had mission. Its idea OF that
mission has not been at all times equal

CHARGES BY BBAUPRE.
Announces In Court He Believes Es-
terhazy Wrote Bordereau.
CAUSES GREAT SENSATION.
Concludes His Report on the Dreyfus
Case by Asking the Court of
CassatiOn to Grant
Revision.

Paris, May 31.-There were few indi-
cations of excitement in the vicinity Of
the palace of justice today before the
court of cessation resumed its sittings
for the hearing Of arguments in the Drey-
fus case and for the examination of NM.
Deroulede and Marcel Habert. Similar
precautions were observed as on yester-
day for the preservation of order. The
arrival of the judges and others connect
ed with the two cases was marked by
NO unusual incident. The interior of the
court of cessation presented today the
same aspect as on yesterday, the same
women occupying seats in the galleries.
Behind President Mazeau were seated
many judges and other court officers,
public men and distinguished men of let
ters.
M. Ballot de Beaupre resumed the
reading of his report on the Dreyfus case.
M. de Beaupre entered at length into
consideration Of the arguments Of the
antirevsonists. who, he said, contend
that, even if the document "Ce canaille
de D." should be shown not to refer
to Dreyfus, it would be no reason for re-
vision, because the document was not
responsible for the conviction of Dreyfus.
Vaccinations Were DisavOwed.
The Vaccinations of Colonel du Patty
de Clam and Lieutenant Colonel Henry,
it had also been argued, gave no ground
for revision. because they had been dis
hvowed by General Gouse. assistant chief
of the general staff, and by his superior,
General Boisdeffre.
M. de Beaupre created deep sensation
b. solemnly declaring that he had become
convinced that the bordereau was writ

NJ. Ballot de Beaupre concluded his re-
port upon the Dreyfus case by asking for
a revision of the verdict of condemnation
and a retrial of Captain Dreyfus by a
court martial.

The Season Opened
Good Racing at the Granite City
Trotting Park. A Large
Crowd in Atten-
dance.

Probably the best racing ever seen in
Vermont at this season of the year took
place yesterday ut the Granite City Trot-
ting Park and the people of this vicinity
are highly pleased, as shown by the
large crowd present, with the reopen
ing of the park which has been practc-
ally closed for so long time.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired and the track was in excellent
condition, in fact it is agreed by all
horsemen that it is the best track in the
state. The management are dctermin-
ed to give the public satisfactory AM
usenent and they certainly met with
success in this endeavor yesterday
Considerable excitement was caused
during the start for the first heat in the
Free For All when Charles Taylor the
veteran driver, 9S years old who was
driving Robert b was thrown from his
sulky and the horse tore around the
track with mass of broken wheels at
his heels and crowd of men and boys
trying to stop him. Fred Bruce the
marshall who was mounted finally sue.
ceeded by very clever trick in stopping
him after he had been around the track
several times. Mr.. Bruce rode along
beside him, both going at full speed,
and grabbed the reins when his horse
stopped stock still in good bronco style
and Robert B was brought to halt.
Mr.. Bruce carried out his part in an
excellent manner.
The starter was j. j. Enright of Bur-
lington and the Judgei were Charles

A Little Heroine.

Yesterday when an embank-
ment of earth fell upon Simon T.
Morse, down on the placer
grounds, his little twelve-year-oId
daughter sliced a shovel and
worked like a Trojan to rescue
him from death. Once she heard
him cry: "Hurry up, l am almost
gone"
What must have been the feel
ings of that faithful little daugh-
ter, who had the courage to do
battle against the cruel circum-
stances that were depriving her
of a beloved father. She APP
Pealed to pasSersby to aid her and
every assistance was rendered but
the life had gone out of the poor
imprisoned toiler before the EN-.
bankment could be cleared awav
Every day brings forth its he
roes and its heroines, and who
can say that the sight of a little
girl digging away with all her
might at that embankment, irving
to save her father from death, was
not worthy of record in the GAL
axy of the truly brave7 1t was
the act Of herOine.-Butte Inter

The cheek of the Democracy
in assuming that trusts in this
country can never be disposed Of
until they get "clatter" at them,
is something sublime. To read
their press one would think that
trust was a monstrosity which
was due wholly to Republican
rule, and that the Democracy has
been lying low for years, anxious
to deal with trusts even as David
with the lion, or Sampson did
with the Philistines, and, by the
way, they seem to be using the
same weapon. The truth is that
they deliberately repealed the on
ly effective law that ever had
been made to check and control
trusts. 1t is true that a great
many trusts have been formed in
the last year, but that, as the
Springfield Republican explains,
has been due to the wonderful
prosperity of the country, and the
chances for capital to work. 1t
is a fact, too, that with the Dem
ocracy in power for four years,
without any laws, there weuld not
be very much trouble from trusts,
because Democratic rule, when
ever tried of late years, has meant
a blight to the country. But that
they as a party are more opposed
to trusts or more anxious to throt-
lie them than any other party on
earth, is something to tell the ma
-ines. We have our own suspi- |
cions that trusts never will be
hrottled until our friend Warren
Foster Populist and his friends
get power and condemn nearly
Ill the property of the country,
Jay for it in greenbacks, and
AVE tAe Government run the
whole machine. That at least is
tangible plan, and that is some
hing the Democracy has never
'ut out in the world.-Ex.

G'a''hopp.r Destroyer.

The Market Lake Sentinel
says: "The war on the grass
heppers with coal oil has been
much more successful than hoped
for. There are none left to
bother the crops, and only half of
the IS barrels of oil has been
used. The few scattering hop
pers to be found in the neighbor-
hood yet will be given the coal
oil treatment the middle of this
month, when they congregate to
deposit their eggs. The oil is
sprinkled on them with spray
pumps, and is certain death, 2
amailer quantity being necessary
in their younger state"
The southern Idaho sections
that have been using the kerosene
cure for the grasshopper plague
are directed to this sum in arith-
metical progression as presented
by a Missouri farmer: He saws
that live grasshopper will eat a
dead one, and mixed paris green
and bran together and let a grass-
hopper eat it. He died. Twenty
ate him up. They died. -Four
hundred ate those twenty and
they died. Eight thousand ate
those 400 and they died, and the |
farmer was troubled no more |

'If ever you want a boy tc
work for you, send him out to
find a four leafed clover, and il
ne finds enc, you may hire him
with the assurance that he will
prove faithful and deserving"
That is the advice of Daniel
Ainsworth of Newton, Kan, and
he has had a good deal of expert
Perience with boys. Mr.. Aims
worth says this idea is not origin
al with him. He learned it from
Alexander Sackett, a wealthy
grain commission merchant of
Cleveland, Ohio. Mr.. Sackett
had several boys working for him.
When he needed a boy he al
WAYS put an advertisement in
the paper and when the boys
came next day in answer to it he
sent them all away with instruc-
tons to go out and find a four
ieated clover and to not return
without it. Mr.. Sackett invari-
ably engaged the boy who came
back first with the four leafed
clover, and the boy never failed
him. Mr.. Sackett's motive in
this was not that the finding of the
clover leaf brought good luck, but
that it took patience, persever-
ance and persistent work to find
a our-leafed clover, and that a
boy lacking in those qualities
would soon tire of the hunt, and
that such boy was not worth

CLEANLINESS, Better Than InOeul.tlOn.

The doctors are now in an es-
pecially eager search for success
full means of combating, by pre-
ventive incubation, three diseases
typhoid, cholera, and the
plague. Commenting on this
fact, Tie Hospital (July 1s) says
that we already possess better
ways of preventing than inocula :
ton. 1t explains itself as follows
Smallpox stands on a differ
ent platform, and the success of
vaccination in controlling a dis
ease which has shown itself to be
incapable of control in any other
way cannot be taken as any argu-
ment in favor of preventing moe
ulations having for their aim the
the control of such diseases as tv-
phoid fever, cholera, and plague,
even if their efficacy for the pur-
pose We're better proven than it
IS. When we see groups of peo-
pie, by virtue of their cleanly
mode of life, able to walk practic-
ally unscathed through epidemics
Of plague; when we see cholera,
which decimates certain towns,
pass away harmless in the pres
ence of a pure water supply;

when we see typhoid fever being
steadily uprooted from its strong
holds in proportion as man takes
care to keep clean the soil around
his house and the water which he
drinks; and, further, when we see
that by the aid of this cult OF
cleanliness even other diseases,
which are by no means to be re-
garded as infectious, are lessened
in their virulence; then can we
understand how far from the true
scent are those who would pro-
tect mankind from individual dis
eases by a series of separate pre-
ventive NEGOTIATIONS. AS a means
Of protecting an army which must
march into infected districts, and
OF minimizing, if only for a time,
those doctors, nurses and hospital
attendants who have to expose
themselves to great risks, such
measures may be justifable, but
as a means of protecting a people
against the consequences of its
own remissness!-No."

- - s-eAAS 81 ~ Pubit~ vi MS
ity was excited by the curious
beans called the "devil beans oil
Mexico which shopkeepers
placed in their windows. They
somewhat resembled roasted cof-
fee beans in shape and color
They were also known as the
"jumpihg beans" owing TO the
fact that from time to time they
made spasmodic movement which
propelled them quite little dis
lance. The beans grew on a
small bush in the Mexican noun
tains, and 1t is conjectured that
they belonged to the order Ea-
PhOrbiacee. The bean really con-
sisted Of three similar pods which
formed single bean. 1t is us
ually third of the bean which
was exhibited as a curiosity. On
opening the pods it was found
that it contained a small larva
something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. 1t is this lit
tie occupant which gives motion
to the bean by its jerks and
thumps against the side of its
home. If the bean is slightly
warmed, it begins to turn from
side to side and perhaps, with
sudden jump, turns completely
over and stands on one end, and
then, by successive jumps, moves
quiteTa distance.
Those who are not in the Sc
cret are often greatly puzzled by
this strange bean. An enterprise
ing jeweler devised a scheme of
utilizing them to make a magic
clock. He accomplished this by
initiating the shape of two of the
beans, making the dummy beans
out of soft iron; one he gilded
and the other he silyered. The
prepared iron beans were placed
with the ordinary jumping beans
on a piece of pasteboard, outlined
and numbered like the dial of
clock, but devoid of the hands.
The dial was located over the
works of large clock which was
placed face upward on the floor
Of the store window. He fasten-
ed small magnets to the ends of
The hands. The works were of
course carefully hidden from view.
All that was in evidence was the
clock dial and the jump
ng beans, among which were the !
gold and silver painted iron beans. :
These were placed on the card !
BOARD over the concealed hands
With the magnets attached. The :
magnets were moved by the :
ands of the clock so that they
we're almost in contact with the :
ardboard. AS they moved ;
round, they carried the iron !
cans with them, thus telling the :
me of day, and the public was /
