BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.

The butter market has n tame tone. Prices
are fairly steady, but the buoyant feeling
which was so much in evidence last week has
subsidized and buyers now have a slight adj
vantage. No decline can be quoted here,
because prices did not rise in sympathy with
other places, but there has been Il slight reac.
ton in outside markets, and the situation
generally has lost some strength. Elgin holds
last weeks quotations., but Chicago and New
York have gone back IA little, and the outlook
for the remainder of the week is somewhat
uncertain. 1t seems that very few receivers
succeeded in selling trade lots last week at
22ls cents. ana as they all have carried over Il
portion OF their supplies, they are in no posi-
ton this week TO hold out for more than p
cents; and this for choice Vermont. New
Hampshire and New York creamery. Under
grade creamery from North and w est is slow

EngIand's South African Dilemma.
TNaw XOrk World


British public opinion is becoming ex-
asperated over the South African situa-
ton. The recent fighting has made it
ridiculous for Kitchener to pretend any
longer that the war Is over, or that only
guerillas remain to be dealt with. The
GOO well disciplined men who attacked
Fort italia the other day, and who
crushed" the British garrison with fixed
bayonets and came near to capturing the
place, were not "guerillas" or "bandits."
This is war as truly as was the lighting
at Colenso or Spion Kop.
Botha is perceived even in London to
be on the aggressive and Kitchener on
the defensive. AT three different places
Botha has lately been the attacking
party, and while the British have held
their own, the large losses they admit
show that they have been hard pressed
to do 1t.
The London press, including such lead
ing ministerial papers as the Times,
Standard, Chronicle and Spectator, are
now in full cry against the War Office.
Some of them blame 1t for not sending
more men to Kitchener. Kipling In a
tart letter declares the army machine Is
back sin the old ruts of impotence, pre-
tence and collapse" The Spectator says
Kitchener has accomplished nothing in
year except by the process of attrition,"
and calls for Lord Roberts to be sent out
again to finish the war.
Boer obstinacy may prove the ruin of
the Salisbury ministry, which seems to
have about exhausted British patience.

that whea the happy event came of It
would be a fitting occasion to pay back

were greeted with perfect shower Of
rice and old shoes, but one Tommy had
silly substituted big pair Of regula-
Non Butchers, which he threw with
such unerring aim that the missile
caught the sergeant Just above the eye,
inflicting nasty cut.
Directly the ceremony was over the

OBITUARY..
MRS. MARIETTA DELANo GRAVES.

MRS. MARIETTA DELANO GRAVES.
Mrs. Maryetta Delano Graves was born in
Sunderland. Mass, April 81, 1903. She died in
Brandon Oct. 2, 1901.
When one of riper years like the deceased
passes away we feel II requires more than a
passing notice. She was a direct defendant
from John and Priscilla Alden and retained
the strength and nobility of character so
predominant in her forefathers. Leaving
home and friends in Massac husetts for
home in Vermont, in early life she married
the late Royal Graves and has always re-
NAMED here. She was the mother of five
children, oil of whom survive her except a
daughter, Ellen, who died some years ago
The remaining children are Henry Graves OF
Salisbury, julius of Brandon. Mrs. l.. ID. Dyer
OF Middlebury and Mrs. K. S. Farr OF Bristol
In early life she gave her heart 10 Christ
and lived and died in the Christian faith and
hope OF the gospel, the last hours testifyIng
to the fact of His power TO save. Only few
hours previous TO her going she repeated
several times the line "Oh the p Tin the bliss
of dying" and again and again, 81 will never
leave thee nor forsake thee" also "He will
wipe away all tears from their eyes" She
passed quietly and peacefully away Oct. as
the sun had passed its meridian, having
reached the advanced age of ninety two
years and five months. BLESSED are the
dead who die in the Lord" ID.

In summing up President Roosevelt's
many-sided qualities, it should be re-
membered that he is the author of a
number of very readable stories of
travel and adventure and some valuable
volumes of history. Mr.. Roosevelt is
credited with desire to make his forth
coming message to congress one of
literary excellence, even if 1t has to
contain merely perfunctory suggestions
to congress on matters of legislation.

Wednesday the University defeated Nor

take into consideration that the difference
in the score was the result of more time,
and that Norwich was not able to play
four of her best players during all the
game at Burlington, 1t is thought Mid

than in number of years. A large

In that story of the finding Of 10000
English sovereigns in Lake Champlain,
the tables appear to have been turned on
the metropolitan press-a countryman
sold gold brick to the unsophisticated
yellows. Vermont newspapers were
more interested in the "news" than any
outside prints could be, yet probably
not one of them was duped by the yarn.
The Boston Herald wants it distinctly
understood that as result of accepting
the story it is to be classified as green,
not yellow.

The Musical Festival to be held at
Burlington next week is worthy of the
hearty support of all music-loving per-
sons-and their number is legion in the
Green Mountain State. 1t is mis-
taken notion to assume that the Festival
Is money-making affair or is in any
way intended for the glorification of
Burlington. 1t is state institution for
the encouragement and advancement of
musical culture and so far as the matter
of sordid lucre enters into 1t, the pay
ment of expenses and of securing the
presence of world-famed musical artists
Is the sum total in that direction. AL
though this is only the second Festival
of the kind to be held, the concrete bene-
fits already are apparent in an aroused
interest in vocal music In many small
communities of the state. Vermont has
''raised" many singers who have at
tained prominence reaching beyond her
borders. 1t is just such interest and
enthusiasm as these festivals engenders
that brings to notice singers who might
otherwise never be known outside the
environment of their home towns, and
in other cases develops voices, the
power of which might otherwise have
remained unrecognized, even by their
owners. The Festival is good thing.
May the support 1t receives make 1t a
permanent annual Institution.
