1s1en In ancient Roman ReI,cs.

At Dorchester. Dorset, England,
which has proved SO rich in ancient
Roman relics, another interesting dis
eovery has Just been made. During
some excavations on building estate
on the confines of the borough, and
only few hundred yards from the an
eient Roman amphitheater, a splendid
specimen of villa pavement has been
disclosed. Several similar discoveries
have been made of late years, but moth
ing so fine or. well preserved has yet
been recorded. The pavement is about
two feet below the surface. and the de-
sign is unusually elaborate, while the
eoloring of the tesserae remains al
most as fresh as when laid down. The
discovery is regarded rs of great i'm
portance. The find will probably be
secured for the British museum.

copenhagen's War Against Rats.
So great nuisance have the rats
recently become in Copenhagen that
efforts are being made to exterminate
them. In order to encourage the new
occupation of rat hunting for profit
and pleasure combined, premium Of
10 ore per rat is being paid for every

dead. For the past three weeks war
against the rats has been waged. In
the first week 1904 were officially re-
corded as killed; the number grew to
e.616 In the second week. and for the
last week it had swelled to 6,7S0. It
Is hoped to reach a weeks mortality

exhausted in the meantime. It is pro-
posed to extend the rat-eatehing op-

The pearl was sold to Keloko, ma

CAUCUS REFORMS.

We are pleased to see that the subject
of caucus reform is being considered by
the legislature. C'ucuses, as well as
elections, should be conducted fairly and
honorably, and there is undoubtedly ne
cessity for proper laws In regard to
them. But the principle evils which
beset our caucuses as well as other cleo
tons, can only be met by drastic meas
ures to prevent bribery or the purchase
of votes. There j. just one law that will
prevent this, the Disqualification as a
voter of any one who has sold his vote.
Such law would work hardship to none
and Justice to all. For it is a self evil
dent proposition that any one who sells
his vote ought not to have one. And
practically we believe that it would
alone be sufficient to correct the evils that
connect with caucuses. The necessity
of such law is apparent. viii not the
legislature pass it, letting it cover eau
cuses as well as other electionsy

home in Ferrisburgh Monday afternoon.
He was born In the house in which he

Woods "A Hero of riconderoga,
"Uncle 'Lisha's Outing" and "Vermont"

an artist of no mean ability aud often
during political campaigns drew on the
covers of the tubs of butter which he
brought to market striking pictures of
current political events and phrases.
He was 81 years of age and a man great

ed with him. He held the Office of town
clerk for many years. He leaves wife,
one son and two daughters. 1t is safe to
say that no writer ever pictured Vermont
rural life of fifty years ago so truly or
gave the Vermont Yankee dialect so
accurately as Mr.. Robinson. He was a
close student Of Vermont history and of
