THE LEGISLATURE.

Most of the members of the House
and Senate returned Monday and Il
little business was transacted in both
houses. 1t is conceded that only by
extraordinary effort and by deciding
hurriedly on matters needing care
full consideration can adjournment
be taken before Thanksgiving.
The on y important measure acted
upon Monday afternoon was the
bill to encourage fruit-growing by
making an appropriation of $500
for holding meetings through the
State to educate the farmers on the
matter. This was killed by the
House.
The bill creating State pur-
chaser of liquors for town agencies
was also slaughtered, and Il number
of measures of minor Importance
were disposed OF in both houses.
THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Probably the most important de-
velopment in the Senate during
Tuesday mornings session was the
reporting favorabIv OF the Senate
bill providing for the election of
railroad commisssi oncrs by the
Legislature. 1t was reported favor
ably and ordered to lie.
wEATnERSEIELD MEMBER PLEASED.
Warren. of Wcathcrsticd, sue
cecdcd in getting the House to pass
his bill giving Wcathcrstield the
right 10 elect two read commission
ers. 1t was hard struggle and he
has worked faithfully for his town.
When the bill was passed he rose to
thank the House for its action and
could hardly keep back the tears.
When the House adjourned he stood
near the aisle and shook hands with
member who passed. "rvc worked
tor this thing he said, land knew
I'd do it. never undcrtook any
thing yet and failed on it and the
people of Wcathcrsticld knew that

The bill to increase the revenues
OF the State bv increasing the tax on
corporations an average of 10 per
cent was passed by the House with
out debate. This is expected to in
crease the revenues about 500, 900,
This will avoid the necessity of in
creasing the direct State tax.
The Senate discussed the bill to
abolish capital punishment Wednes-
day. The vote was 4 tie and Lieu
tenant Governor Allen cast the de-
Gliding vote against the bill.

This Farmer Thinks HIS Hens Were
Hypnotlzed.

William Fosmire, farmer, o
Johnstown, \. V, can't quite ex-
plain it, but he thinks the hens were
hypnotized, y few nights ago he
was awakened by noise outside.
and going to the window he saw Il
man with Il lighted lantern removing
his hens from their roosts in the
chicken house and transferring them
to IN immense bag.
The hens were as compliment
about being stolen as the man with
the lantern was in his method Of
doing it. Fosmirc watched the pro.
ceedlng in such sheer amazement
that bv the time he got ready to in
terfere the man and tie hens had
gone off down the road and were
safely out Of his reach.

Sacred Ia the memory of
ADMIRAL DEWEY.
"chcsty" bear with II borrowed record
He died game.

Soon after Admiral Dewey settled
down in his home in Washington
some of his admirers in the West
forwarded him black bear cub. Il
perfect type of the species. The
bear made it lively for express mes
sengers en- route To Washington.
Admiral Dewey 1T once turned the
boistcrous pet over to the loo. and
he assumed d prominent position in
bear society, saws the New York
World.
Visitors to the park greatly adj
mired the cub. " hich the Zoo alI.
thoritie, named tor the Admiral, and
used to greet him with such remarks
as, wv ny. he ought to be Il scrap
per, or ".\dmiral Dewey; a fighter,
IN bet"
The cub did not appear to pay
any attention to these remarks at
first, but finally his chest measure
ment began to increase and he paced
the Enclosure rs though it we're II
quarterback.
More and more ",he>ty' did he
become, and bears of his size stood
in awe OF him. Then he began To
make challenges to the boss bear of
the park, pointing proud, T." his
record.
There was slight CONJUNCTION in
the bear pit last night and this NOM
ing the keepers had to remove Il
little dead black bear, minus good
deal of fur and with crushed skull.

If the proposal to put the "recon-
centrado" system into operation in
in the Philippines has anything like
the same effect on Senator Proctor
as did the sights he saw IN Cuba
under Spanish rule he ought to have
something very interesting to say
just now. He should speak at once.
The business OF rounding up women
and children because they might
give aid and comfort to their fathers
and brothers would be done under
American auspices in humane sort
of way, of course, still the thing has
some aspects OF savagery under any
conditions.
The State goes to considerable en-
pense once in every two years in
teaching green makers how to
do business, and as long as towns
continue to elect new men to the
Legislature at every session the State
must pay without any grumbling.
The legislators do not get into work
ing order until the usual time of adj
journment approaches, then the
most important measures--left for
consideration at the last moment
are hastily discussed and disposed
of. 1t might be a good plan to
send a few seasoned lawmakers to
Montpelier ACKNOWLEDGMENT who
know the ropes and who can be of
some service in the early days of the
session. Matters would thus be
greatly simplihed and money would
be saved in Il shorter session. As
the business now stands at Montpc-
lier it seems quite imperative that
the Legislature reassemblc after
Thanksgiving and give necessary at
tention to matters before it.

"Thc supporters of the license
bill say that it is only measure to
see if the state favors a change in
our present liquor laws" says the
Mortified News. Well, what is it
if it is not just that thing And
why not give the people a chance to
express their opinion? The Swan
ton contemporary is pretty nearly
right whom it says that "if the Leg
islaturc refuses to submit the ques-
ton of license or prohibition to the
people it can rest assured that leg
islaturc will be elected in 100, that
