Bishop William Taylor, who IS
now on the superannuated list of the
Methodist Episcopal church, has
had a most eventful career. Before
his retirement from active life, four
years ago, be had preached regularly
for ffty-three years. He began
as street preacher in California,
and then entered the foreign mission
field. He has worked in Africa, Aus
tralia, Asia and South America, and
on most of the islands of the South
Pacific.
"For years." says the Baltimore
Sun, the two doors at the entrance
of the White House have been grain
ed in imitation of black walnut, but
in the spring cleaning this year
Colonel Bingham ordered the paint
scraped off so as to have them done
over. To the astonishmeut of every
body it was discovered that the
doors were of solid mahogany and
of beautiful grain. Colonel Bingham
ordered them restored to their origi-
nal native condition, and is now try
ing to find out what fool had them
painted.

For Lieutenant Governor.

In looking over the field of candi-
dates from geographical stand
point there is one important county
in the state which is as yet unrepre-
sented and that is Addison. No con-
gressional or senatorial candidate
halls from this region, famous for its
agricultural productions and fine
sheep. 1t is therefore eminently fit
ting that this county should have a
candidate for acknowledgement
and they have selected very worthy
man in Hon. Martin F. Allen of Fer
risburg. He is no stranger to public
affairs, having served creditably
both in the house and the senate.

The White House China,

Collectors of American china are wait
ing with good deal of interest the ar
rival OF new set of china that Mrs. Nc
Kinley has ordered for the White House.
The china is to be of American manufac-
ture, and will be made at GAINESVILLE, O..
Those who have seen the complete pieces
say it is exceedingly beautiful and will
compare favorably with Lincoln, Hayes,
and Harrison sets. The design, as ap-
proved by Mrs. Mckinley, is simple yet
very decorative. In the center of each
plate will be the copyrighted design that
appears on the Harrison plates-the
American eagle and shield and the words,
"E Pluribus Unum." Around the border
of the new plates will be placed the arms
of the thirteen original states in colors.
Some of the big collectors think that
while this design will be very effective on
the large pieces, it will not show up so
well on the cups and small ware. The
Harrison set was turned out by promi.

he was chairman OF the committee of
state and court expenses, and when
a member of the senate in 1890 he
held the important position of chair
man of the committee on railroads
and was one of the leading members
of that body.
Mr.. Allen was born in Ferrisburg,
Nov. %, 1912, and is one of the best
known farmers in the county. He is
also extensively interested i'll butter
and country produce and has charge
of the Allen creamery at Ferrisburg
and another creamery across the
lake at Essex. He is we'll and favor
ably known at home, has from time
immemorial been the moderator of
town meetings and is at present
chairman of the school board. He is
director in the Farmers National
Bank of Vergennes and one of the
leading men in that section of the
state.
Mr.. Allen possesses such charm
ing personality that he has made
host of friends throughout the state
and his familiarity with parliament
tary law would stand him in good
stead as presiding officer of the Sen
ate. He has long been identified
with the republican party and his
presence at every political gathering
has added to his list of friends and
made him one of the best known men
in the state. Stickney and Allen
would go well together in more
ways than one.

Current Press Comment.

Hon. NJ. F. Allen, the farmer from
Ferrisburgh, has the advantage of
location, Addison county being en-.
titled to consideration. Mr.. Allen
has been a prominent member of
both houses of the Legislature, and
is a genial, whole-souled man who
would no doubt manage the Senate
without friction.-[ Ludlow Tribune.
Col. Kimball's manly and whole
some letter in regard to the Orange
county senatorship excites very fa-
vorable comment. The CALIFORNIAN
OF st. Johnsbury warmly praises the
letter and the man. The Phoenix of
Brattleboro has no suggestion to
otter about the choice of senator in
orange county, but it recognizes and
cordially approves Col. Kimball's
straightforward way of saying
what he has to say in his own person
and over his own name. 1t ought to
make him otes."- Montpelier
Journal.
No one can predict with absolute
certainty the outcome of the contest
IN the First District. But it is gener-
ally conceded that none of the can
dldates has better chance to win
than has our Chittenden county
candidate, Hon. D. ]. Foster. The
county will send to the convention
IN his behalf a delegation of 65 re-
publlcans selected from the best men
OF the several towns. This, with the
support he will receive from Addison
county, will, we believe, make him
leadlng candidate on the first ballot.
