PRESENTED LAST NIGHT.
"A Stranger in Strange Land" at tn
 Hyperion.

"A Stranger in a Strange Land" at the
 Hyperion.
 One of the many plays that are con- structed, for laughing purposes and in which the fun is fast and furious is "A Stranger in a Strange Land" which was presented at the Hyperion last night to a very large and appreci- ative audience and that the audience was amused and pleased was shown by the continued hearty applause and other indications which was continually heard all over the house during the three acts.
 The scene is laid in England, and the Story is suggested by the ignorance of the upper English classes concerning American topography, manners and customs A wild and erring young scion of British family has been sent to this country, with the understanding that he remain away three years as a ranchman. But this plan does not prove congenial to him, and he settles in New York, and after a time writes home.
 Of course, the letter miscarries, and Jack arrives home without the Indians and without knowledge of what has leaked out, and to crown it all, on the same train with him comes young American heiress. To avoid exposure, a suitor for his sisters hand, in the per- son of Arthur Howe, is made to dress as a savage. Then a quack doctor from the western United States appears with true Indian. Finally Jack mar ries the American helress, who Is quite won by his picturesque exaggerating,' the aunt and cousin are propitiated and the sister at last wins her lover.
 Of the cast nothing but praise can be said. Cyril Scott and M. A. Kennedy are too well known in this city to need praise, for they have been seen here with a number of the leading New York companies. They are ably supported by Harrison Armstrong, George Os- bourne and Wdlter Clifford. Others deserving special mention were Miss Maud White, Miss Kate Lester, Miss McCaull, Miss Mullins and Miss Cham berlain. It is without exception one of the most amusing comedies that has been presented at the Hyperion in long time and should it be presented again will be witnessed by even a larger audience than that last night,

THE MERwTN POINT LITIGATION.
Formal Decision on the Committee Nt-
 port Looked Tor Friday.

| Judge William B. Stoddard counsel
 for John w. Merwin of Merwin's Point
 in his suit against William Merwin and
 wife to eject the defendants from prop
 erty at Woodmont alleged to belong to
 the plaintiff, has claimed next Friday
 as the day for Judge Elmer of the su- iperior court to act formally on the re- port of Judge Gager of Derby, before whom as a committee the facts of the case were tried out.
 | The case is one which has dragged
 along through the courts for several years, or since 1895. The property in volved in the litigation is that just at the end of the Woodmont-New Haven trolley line and is occupied by William MerWins restaurant and pavilion. The question in the case is as to the western
 boundary of John Merwin's property. The plaintiff claims that his western boundary is the water line while the defendant claims that the plaintiffs property extends only to the beach and
 does not include it. William Merwin
 has erected his pavilion between the edge of the arabic land and the water, and claims that the pavilion is not on John Merwin's land.
 The question of facts was tried out before Judge Gager as a committee of the superior court, and Judge Gager some time ago filed his report in the superior court, finding the facts as claimed by the plaintiff and awarding one dollar damages. Two remon- strances to the acceptance of the report were filed by the defendants attorneys, C. s. Hamilton and Judge Blydenburgh, the remonstrances being based on ob- iection to the admission of certain evil dence. The arguments were begun be- fore Judge Robinson, but when Judge Elmer began sitting in the superior court here the arguments were conclud- ed before him. The plaintiff demurred to the remonstrances, and about week ago Judge Elmer gave a decision sus- taining the demurrer
 The next step in the case will be for mai action by Judge Elmer on the re- port of the committee As matters stand now, an acceptance of the report might be expected, but it is understood that the defendants counsel will inter- pose some further objection. In case the report is accepted the ejectment of the defendant from the property in dis pute will follow as a matter of course.

For the first time since men began
stringing trolley wires through the
streets horses-sound ones, of course
are in demand The United States
government needs war horses. forty
thousand of them or more, and, need
ing them badly and speedily, is willing
to pay good prices for them. In an
article in Leslies Weekly Mr.. Gibson
Willets describes the kind of horses
that will be accepted. No white horse
need apply, for it was a white horse
which Death rode in the Apocalypse.
and Death would speedily overtake the
soldier foolish enough to bestride so
conspicuous a beast within reach of
the enemy's sharpshooters. Only dark
colored horses will be accepted In the
army-dark sorrels, bays, browns,
blacks, and dark roans. They should
be intelligent and gentle in DISPOSE
ton, not given to kicking their friends.
The age should be from to 8 years.
and the weight from thousand to fif-
teen hundred pounds. After the horse
is purchased he must go through a
course of instruction. just as any other
raw recruit. He must learn to obey
commands, even when he is ordered
| to lie down and convert himself into a
breastwork for his rider. That is the
most difficult accomplishment to teach.
But those who have observed the per-
| feet training of the horses in the fire.
engine stations can readily understand
bou ho I'll
horses can be made.
The intelligence of the trained and
experienced war horse is remarkable.
and many wonderful stories are re-
| lated to illustrate 1t. 1t was recog-
nized milleniums ago, as is shown in
the Book of Job: "Canst thou make
| him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory
of his nostrils is terrible. He paweth
in the valley and rejoiceth in his
strength; he goeth on to meet the
armed men. He mocketh at fear and
| is not affrighted; neither turneth he
back from the sword. He swallow
eth the ground with fierceness and
rage; neither believeth he that it is
the sound of the trumpet. He saieth
among the trumpets, Ia, ha; and he
smelleth the battle afar off, the thun-
der of the captains and the shouting"
There are numberess instances
which show the fierce delight of the
trained cavalry horse in battle.
1t will be far more difficult now for
the government to obtain horses than
! it would have been five or ten years
ago. The electric railways not only
did away with the demand for car
horses, but. in consequence, of their &C.
cupation of the streets, there is far less
demand for driving and riding horses.
and the bicycle also has contributed
to the destruction of the horse mar
ket. The demand having decreased.
of course the supply decreased with II

COMMERCE VS.. THE PROFESSIONS.

In a recent issue we gave space to
that the percentage of graduates of Mid
dlebury college who have entered the
ministry is materially less than in the
early years Of the college history. In the
decade from 1S02-l0, 43 per cent of the
graduates became ministers of the gospel
The number had so decreased in 1SSl-90
that only % per cent adopted the min
istry as a calling.
This decrease does not indicate any
change in the policy of the college. 1t
is the result of natural causes that have
been felt in all like institutions through
out the country. Statistics indicate that
at the opening of the present century
the number of graduates of colleges
who entered the ministry formed little
more than one half the entire number.
The law came second in the list of call
ings adopted, and slowly gained until 1t
took first place with about 80 l-3 per
c. Mt of the total number. No change in
sions was noticeable until about fifteen
years ago, when the law took a slight
"spurt". Within the last decade, how
ever, a new claimant for first honors has
appeared and forged rapidly to the front,
until today One-thrd of the men from
our colleges enter upon commercial pur-
suits. Law is a bad second, while the
ministry is "distanced" completely.
The old world scornfully points to the
United States as a nation of tradesmen;
Spain seems to have derived much cheap
consolation in the late war by attrihut-
ing to our entire population the qualities
of one of our chief products. But the
intensity of the competition in all
branches of industry the world over and
the gigantic character of many modern
commercial enterprises has shown to us
that the education which a hundred
years ago was considered sufficient for
the tradesman, the small manufacturer,
and the mechanic will not stand the test,
and our colleges are being drawn upon
In increasingsnumbers to supply the
brains demanded by present-day con-
dtions.
The influx of college-bred men into
commercial pursuits has had a retro
active effect in thatEit has given to trade
that "respectability" which formerly was
supposed to attach exclusively to the
professions and which fairly may be
supposed to have attracted the college
graduate of former days. This is as it
should be. Certainly the problems
which confront the projectors of modern
commercial enterprises are no whit less
worthy of the trained judgment OF a
college graduate than those which
would confront him in any of the pro-
fessiOns.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1899-02-03

the great agricultural classes are heard
from--slow to move but most powerful
when aroused-and 1t Is found that they,
as well as the vast army of mechanics
and other workingmen, as represented
by their organizations and leaders, are
unalterably opposed to this surrender of
American principle; and that together
with these stand nearly all of our schol-
ars and thinkers, those connected with
our colleges and schools, as also the
ablest of our Protestant and Catholic
clergy and also many of the wealthiest
men in the country, like Mr.. Carnegie,
will be little danger of such a treaty
passing.
1t remains to be seen how our Vermont
senators vote. Were Senator Morrill,
living, his vote, as is well known, would
have been against the treaty unless
amended. 1t has been supposed that
Senator Proctor was so connected with
the administration that he would sup
port the treaty. We hope for his sake
for the REGISTER up to this time has
always supported the senator most cor
dially-that this is not so. We feel sure
that could he act independent of polti-
cal complications, he would insist upon
amendment. Will he not do this now
His help would make the amendment
sure and entirely remove from the
nation the strain which is even greater
than that which preceded the war, and
which was largely relieved by his action.
We will all feel most grateful to the sem
ator for any such assistance at this time.
But this much is certain: no senator who
votes for this treaty as it is will ever be
returned by Vermont to the senate.
Vermont, which has been always true
to the principles of freedom, will re-
main true. OF her it can be said, as of
Massachusetts,, and of her and Mass
achusetts both it can now be said, in the
words Of the great statesman born in
sister New England state:
"Where American liberty raised its
first voice and where its youth was nur-
tured and sustained there it still lives in
the strength of its manhood and full of
its original spirit. If discord and dis
union shall wound it, if party strife and
blind ambition shall hawk at and tear it.,
it will stand in the end by the side of
that cradle in which its infancy was
rocked it will stretch forth its arm with
whatever of vigor it may still retain :and
the prOudest monuments of its own
glory and on the very spot of its origin =

Vermont is not a good field for an
