TWO OF Mr.. BUNDY'S BILLS PASSED.
The House has passed Mr.. Bundy's
travelling library bill, the measure in
which all the Womans Clubs OF the
state were so much interested, and pro-
vides for an appropriation OF $500 for
travelling libraries.
The House passed on Monday after
noon the bill amending the charter of the
St. Johnsbury Electric railway This
measure provided that the Burlington
syndicate should forfeit their charter ii
they did not commence to build the road
next spring and complete it within
year.
Commenting on Mr. Bundy's work the
past week, the Montpelier Argus says,
ITO have secured the passage of the
weekly payment bill and providing an
appropriation of $500 for travelling
libraries is double victory for Bundy OF |
St. Johnsbury, that justifes the action
OF his constituents in sending him here
ADVERSE REPORTS EXPECTED.
The judiciary committee will soon re-
port on several measures before them.
1t is surmised that they will report ad
versely on the bill on double taxation
and also on the reorganization of the
supreme court. The House has no love
for the fruit interests in the state and
killed the Senate bill looking to the pro-
motion of fruit culture and the raising of
fruit trees. The vote on this bill was
taken Monday afternoon when 100
members were absent from their seats.

A Headquarters For Patrons of Hus-
bandry at the Buffalo Exposition.
The Executive Committee of the New
York State Grange visited Buffalo re-
Gently to make such arrangements as
might be possible for a HEADQUARTERS
for the Order upon the Pan-American
Exposition Grounds, the New York
State Grange feeling itself to be occu-
plying in a measure the position of host
toward the members of the Grange
throughout the United States who
might visit the Exposition. In add.
ton to this the New York State Grange
alone comprises a membership of Co..
600, so that the convenience and com.
fort of the members of the Order in the
State of New York alone were deemed
worthy of careful attention on the part
of the Executive Committee of the
Grange.
The Director General stated to the
Executive Committee ethat an effort
would be made on his part to bring
about some arrangement that might be
satisfactory to the Grange, so that it
may be taken for granted that a Head
quarters for the National Grange upon
the Exposition grounds will be provid-
ed for in some manner. This will be very
pleasant news to all members of the
Grange.

1 said. this is the longest under water rec
ord that l have personal knowledge of, but
l have heard Of persons being under much
longer and being brought around. From
one very reliable authority l have been in
formed of the case of a man who was at
the bottom some minutes over two hours
and lived.
AT the Washington beach in several in
stances boys have been down over five
minutes and have come around all right.
Sometimes it has been hard work to revive
them, but we have been able to save sew
eral who. when taken out, were to all out
ward appearances dead. By proper treat
ment, l think, almost any one who has
been under the water five minutes or so can
be resuscitated, but often he is saved from
drowning to die Of pneumonia. No one who
remains beneath the water and whose body
becomes 'waterlogged' ever RECEIVERS from
the effects. His constitution receives a
shock from which 1t cannot recover, and
sooner or later will be attacked with a dis
ease of the lungs.
There was never a greater myth, in my
opinion, than the oft-repeated contention
that drowning is an easy death. 1t must be
horrible. This Is the testimony OF many
who have been dragged from the water un
concious, who experienced all the horrors
of death, and then brought back to life.
They have told me that nothing Is more
terrible than to gasp frantically for air and
to carry Strengthening water into the lungs.
They, one and all. combat the theory that
drowning is an easy death
aside from this, nothing could convince
me that drowning is easy! One has but
to see the expression of torture on a
drowning persons face to have the Illusion
dispelled.
How to Rescue a Drowning Person.
II have often been asked what Is the
best way to effect the rescue Of a person
struggling In the water, but 1t Is rather
difficult to give advice on this subject.
The one who attempts the rescue must be
governed by circumstances more than any
thing else. The most important requisite
is that the would-be rescuer be an expert
swimmer. Without this his undertaking
is hazardous indeed; II he Is a strong
swimmer 1t is not so difficult. Never let
the drowning person take hold Of you.
Keep out of the way of that hand that
goes up as the person goes down. II pos
sible, catch the person at the back, by the
hair, ear or any place, but do not let him
get hold of you. If he struggles to get at
you, force his head under water and keep
1t there until he Is in an unconscious state.
1t is much easier to bring unconscious
person ashore than one who Is conscious;
in fact. l do not know whether it is not the
better plan to let the struggler go under
keep your eye on the spot, and then go
down after him.
Here at the beach we have little trouble
getting bathers out. Most of those we res
cue are boys. and If they give us trouble
in the water We settle them, one way or
the other. Usually we catch them by the
bathing shirt at the back, paddle ashore
and send them home to mamma The
next day they are back again, perhaps to
give us more trouble

Him of High Treason.
Senator William NJ Stewart of Nevada,
was at republican national headquarters
in New York yesterday making arrange
ments for campaigning in the west He
expects to spend several weeks. in his own
state, and later will speak in several of the
middle western states. In explanation of
his attitude toward Mr.. Bryan and the
money question. he said today:
II have not Topped. / am still in favor
Of honest morey issued by the government.
In 1895 Mr.. Bryan represented the cause of
financial reform. but he has abandoned that
issue and Topped into the arms of Aguin-
aldo. The democrats urged OH the war.
Bryan secured the ratification Of the treaty.
He then Topped and posed as a friend Of
the enemy.
organs cry Of Imperialism and mill
tarism is not new. The democratic press
and democratic orators were as eloquent
and fervent as Mr.. Bryan himself in de-
nouncing Lincoln as a monarch, an tmper-
ialist tyrant and an enemy to the liberties
of his country. The trainers of the Consti-
tuition were not in favor of Imperialism.

and. above all things. they were opposed
to treason and defined the crime as folio vs.:
Treason against the United States shall
consist only in levying war against them.
or in adhering to their enemies and giving
them aid and comfort
Does not Mr.. Bryan know that his pledge
TO Aguinaldo to abandon the sovereignty of
the islands and surrender them to him and
his followers is giving aid and comfort to
his rebellion? When Mr.. Bryan Topped
over to the enemy he discarded financial
reform and made the cause OF Aguinaldo
the paramount issue. On that Issue / am
for my country and against Aguinaldo and
his friend Mr.. Bryan"
