Among the many sons of Vermont in

there is not a one to our thinking, that
will exert greater or better influence in
shaping the formation of a Just and
stable government there than ex-Lieut.
Gov. Henry c. Bates. He will be found
prepared tor every emergency and in his
dealing with men and matters will be
displayed that polish of a gentleman,
bearing OF diplomat, knowledge of civil
law, that has won for the Gov. a warm
place in the hearts of Vermonters. With
all his legal attainments and experience
covering many years he possesses a heart
OF sympathy for humanity that tempers
all his judgments and makes us glad to
hail him as a son OF our old common
wealth. [Groton Times.

MORE TRIBUTES TO GEN. CIRCUIT.
Well Done, Good and Faithful Serv-

On Monday Gen. WV. CIRCUITS long ant

the years he has represented Vermont

Congressman Grout is closing his con.
gressional career-for the present-in a
blaze of glory, and is evidently doing a
vast amount of good work all along the
line. The absence of no member of either
house of congress would be more re-

ability IN debate when having a good
point to talk to, he has we'll sustained
the credit of the state in congress. He
was for two years chairman OF the com.
mittee on the District of Columbia-a
position which brings a member much
into notice in Washington and COM
monty secures laudatory mention from
the Washington papers. In the last
three congresses he has served on the
very important committee on appropria-
lions, standing third on the list. We do
not recall any important public measure
to which his name has been attached,
except the Grout Interchangeable bill,
which has not yet become a law. He
has been an industrious and capable leg.

constituents, without entirely forgetting
his owninterests; andwe should have been
well pleased as would many of his con-
stituents il he could have been content to
continue to represent the second district

him standing which no new man can
hope soon to equal. He chose to decline
a denomination, and he now retires with
a good record for honesty, efficiency and
capacity Burlington Free Press.
1t is given to few men to have the long
and useful congressional career of the
gentleman from the Second Vermont
district. He has discharged for nearly
twenty years the arduous and exact
ing duties of the position always with
fidelity to the best interests of his con-
stituency and of the nation. He has
been recognized on both sides of the
house as one of its most tireIess as well
as able workers. Through all the vicissi.
tudes of party success and failure he has
maintained an enviable dignity and COM
manded the respect alike of friends and
toes. His retirement from congress, if
it be permanent, will be regretted at

Tuskegee; It's Story and Its Work. By
Max Bennett Thrasher Published by
Small, Maynard & Co., Boston. Cloth
21O pages; price $1.00.
This is the story of the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial Institute of Ala
bama, the noted school for the colored
people of which Booker 7. Washington
is principal. The author was formerly
resident of Newport, was educated at St.
Johnsbury Academy, and has for many
years been Boston journalist and maya
zine writer. He has had exceptional
means to inform himself about the school
and its great work, having spent long
time at the institute and then Travelled
for five years through the South visiting
the graduates. 1t is very proper that
the book should have for its frontispiece
a picture OF Mr.. Washington, who has
also written an introduction to the book
in which be thanks the author for the
excellent way in which he has interested
the general public in the institute. Mr..
Thrasher has shown Mr.. Washington's
early life was a preparation for his work.
He has given history of the institute
from its foundation, explained the prac-
tical methods by which it gives indus
trial training, and then be has gone on
to show some of the results which the
has accomplished. The hu.
man element is carried through the whole
so thoroughly that one reads the book
or entertainment as we'll as for instruc-
lion. The book is fully illustrated and
bound. The fact that a
second edition had to be issued shows
low good seller it has been, and it is
lot only desirable book for public
ibraries, but especially valuable to all
who would know more about the econo-
mic problems that Tuskegee Institute
nave solved by making their graduates
'ducated and selEsupporting members of
he body polite.

Gently at Mobile, Ala, brought the last
cargo of slaves to the United States.
For thirty years he had engaged in the
hazardous business OF bringing AZ
ricans to this country and selling them.
Against the advice of his friends he COM
manded the Clotilda, the vessel that
brought the last cargo Of slaves to Am
erica. The voyage was full of danger
and hairbreadth escapes, and more than
once Captain Foster was in imminent
danger OF being hanged by the Union
authorities for slave trading.
A Patterson, N. J., bootbIack, bearing
! the illustrious name of Michael Angelo, |
sailed for Italy last week with letters of
credit in his pocket for So, 900 on bank
in Rome. This sum of money was accu-
mulated by the thrifty Italian in that city
in six years, and all by shining shoes.
He left vile and three children in Italy,
and during that time he has been send
ing money home to them. He now has
money enough to live on in Italy for the
remainder Of his days. He came to
America to seek his fortune and found it.
Thirty years ago George Johnston, the +
laird of the Fife Isle estate, near Dundee y
Scotland, made a VOW that from that f
hour no human being should look upon
his face. He religiously kept the strange
VOW. The servant who cooked his food n
placed it outside of his door, using a bell, i
and passed out of sight. Johnston has h

peared from 1894 to 1S97in the Century,

Or an entirely different nature is Mr..
RooseVelt's Naval War of 1912" which
is two volumes in this charming series.
This history was written just two years
after he was graduated from Harvard
and he was member of the New York
legislature. Though written only for
historical purpose, the book came out
when our navy was at its lowest ebb and
called public attention to the need of an
American navy, which is today the pride
OF every citizen. The author had access
to all the historical literature bearing
upon this war, together with original
reports of British commanders, logs of
British ships and all the vast material
hidden away in the archives of the navy
department at Washington. He has
written the story in fascinating style
and the book can be proftably read and
studied by young and old.
