The entertainment to be given tomor-
row evening at the town hall under the
auspices of the Epworth league of the
M. K. church has received the highest
commentator of the press. The Ithaca
Conservatory of Music concert company
is name TO conjure with where they are
best known, and they wish to become
known in Vermont. They were well re-
ceived at Vergennes and Burlington this
week. The Danville Pa.) Sun says of
company; "The audience was unanimous
in its praise of the excellence of the per-
Torrance. The company, composed of
but four members, produced program
which was varied sufficiently to suit
almost any taste. and as each performer
was an artist in her line there was not a
dull moment 10 the program"

a notably successful rehearsal of the
Middle bury chorus for the Burlington
festival was that of Wednesday night
New members were added and the pro-
gress made In mastering the score and
learning the words showed that Miss
Slevens's energy and enthusiasm are hav-
ing their effect. 1t is the purpose now
to make Il permanent organization and
give concert in the town hall during
March, with the assistance of w. X.
Chapman and New York artists of
proven talent. Those having the matter
in charge are meeting with good success
in getting patron members at s. and
associate members at $l.50, with the
privilege of attending all the rehearsals
and free tickets with first choice of
reserved seats at the March concert. 1t
has been found that many persons desire
to listen to the practice, and such will be
admitted by paying 10 cents. No new
members of the chorus may come In
after March |, unless they can prove
their musical knowledge and usefulness.

A popularity of the arguments of
those newspapers that are so voclfer-
ously condemning the saloon-wrecking
methods of Mrs. Carrie Nation of Topeka
on the ground that her conduct is no less
lawless than the Illegal sale of liquors, is
that it does not give the saloon-keepers
credit for the possession of common sense.
If Mrs. Nations conduct were lawless,
the victims of her Ratchet would be the
first to appeal to the law, and the popu-
lar sentiment which heretofore has pro-
tected them in the violation of the pro-
hibitory statutes would make it easy to
convict the woman. 1t is not necessary
to condemn her conduct on the point of
law. 1t condemns itself by its fruitless-
ness. The wrecking of saloon fixtures
will not lessen the demand for and the
sale of liquor In Kansas, nor will it be
likely to strengthen public sentiment in
favor Of prohibition. State control of
the traffic as exemplified in the Norway
or South Carolina law, is the logical

siderable discussion regarding the unde-
sirable condition of the grounds here, a
committee consisting of Darwin Rider,

appointed to confer with 5. w. Jewett,

done about having the grounds here put
In respectable shape. The Brandon
grounds are fine and the track one of the
best in the state, and while 1t would be a
matter for regret to hold the fair away
from here, the Brandon people will do
everything to make it worth while to
come there, and Mr.. Watson oilers his
grounds free. 1t is therefore uncertain
whether a fair will be held this year.
The committee are to report at meet

stitution now under cons deration by the
convention at Havana contains no refer.
ence to the United States, either in &C
acknowledgement of our part in llberating
the island or by giving this nation a
voice in its government. Since the
United States entered upon its present
foreign policy so at variance with the
traditions of the government, more than
one people have pointed to our origin in
support of their appeal or contention for
independence. Our present dealings
with these peoples make a mockery of
our history. Does our Constitution contain
any word of gratitude to France for the as
sistance she gave in our Revolution
Did she demand or receive any part IN
our government: Has she any naval
stations on our coast as reward? These
are what some would have US demand of

When the matter of raising and repair
ing the battle-ship maine was being agi-
tated soon after she was sunk in Havana
harbor, offers were made by wrecking
companies to do the work for several
hundred thousand dollars, one offer
being for something like SS00,000. They
were declined as out of proportion to the
value of the wreck. Late dispatches state
that the offer of a Chicago firm of wreck
ers has just been accepted. They agree
to do the work for nothing and give the
government 3 per cent of the proceeds.

A "Sneezing Plant"

There is vine plant. a native ot tropical regions, which bears trans planting and will grow indoors, but there is OF thing which it cannot stand, and that is dust When the breathing pores become choked by dust, the gases accumulate within the leaf for a time, and then are forcibly expelled in an audible paroXysm of coughing and sneezing which makes the leaf tremble violently. At the same time, the whole plant becomes red in the face, so to speak, through the sinking in of the green chlorophyH grains and the appearance of parti- eles of red celorine natter on the sur face The Eutada is sometimes cuiti- vated as a house plant. Sweeping the room is very apt to set the poor plant a-coughing to the intense ast0nish- ment of persons who are unfamiliar with its peculiagities

LIVING ExPEN SES.
Provisions Are Cheaper Now Than The,
 Were Thirty Years Ago.

The interesting disclosure is made that the cost of living is less in the United States today than it was in the 1860 Carefully compiled statistics show tkat articles costing $100 then cost $75 now. It is t3ue that few things are more expensive, but con- modities consumed generally by fam- flies, such as breadstuffs, sugar. rice, salt, W0Olen and cotton goods, boots and shoes, and silk and rubber goods, are considerably cheaper HOW than they were thirty years ago. Ali manu factured goods, with hardly an eXceD- tion, are cheaper, mainly because Of improved processes of manufacture which enable the maker to reduce the cost to the lowest point, says Leslie's Weekly. The development of or, vast arable territory in the west, north west and southwest. and the striking results of irrigation, when applied to what were formerly considered desert lands have increased our crop sup plies more rapidly than the increase Of population. Despite the dire predic- sions that prices of wheat, corn and cotton must inevitably advance be- cause little land remained to be culti- vated in the west and south, the fact is that millions of acres are still await ing tillage. In Texas alone an area almost as extensive as that of the original thirteen states is virgin soii. The emigrant may have to go farther and work harder to establish home stead in the United States, but Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give every able bodied, industrious newcomer a chance to own farm.

The vigorous knockout administer
by the senate to the Nichols bill for in
creasing the justices OF the supreme
court from FIVE to seven members last
Wednesday did not stop the movement
to furnish relief for that court, and the
subject is TO be brought before the leg
islature again in a remodeled form.
Senator Nichols has new plan for sup.
plying assistance to the court which is
to create an intermediate court to be
occupied by circuit judges of the state
who shall serve at intervals under the
call OF the supreme court. Any five
circuit judges in the state would con-
stitute the court when sitting together
and they would hear such cases as were
referred to them by the supreme court
Senator Nichols, in speaking OF the
plan said If it shall be adopted relief
would be supplied for the court with
but little extra expense and the results
would no doubt be satisfactory, The
only extra expense would be the ex
pense of the judges while sitting in
such court, their salaries remaining
unchanged. Whenever judges would
be called from their bench for this pur
pose neighboring circuit judges could
take their places in the home circuit
during their absence when there was
business on hand. Bv this system and
the frequent interchange OF work on
the bench, Senator Nichols says, cir
cult judges would be frightened up
and become better qualified for their
work. He would have the intermedi.
ate court sit at Lansing and in case Of
a rush both courts could sit at the same
time, or the justices could write opin-
ions while the other was in session
hearing cases assigned to it. This idea
for disposing of the question has met
with much favor and constitutional
amendment may be submitted to the
people for the establishment of court
of that kind.
