Gratifying reports come from England
of the success of William LAWN, who is
singing with the Madam Patti Concert
company. Mr.. LAWNS first appearance
was on the evening of oct Z, in a concert
in Birmingham before a fine audience Of
over 5000 people. A private letter from
E. c. Essex, the London representative
of the Estey Organ company, who is
composer and musical critic of ability,
states that the enthusiasm was tremen-
dous and that at the close of the con-
cert Madam Patti who had not had
formal introduction to Mr.. LAWN, in
troduced herself and expressed herself
as highly pleased with Mr.. LAWNS sing
ing In the report of the concert the
Birmingham Daily Chronicle said: Mr..
William LAWN sang with much charm of
voice and excellent style an air from
Ponchiellis almost-forgotten opera, La
Gioconda, and The Star of Bethlehem
lie must be forgiven for this later item,
for which he atOned by a really beautiful
and artistic rendering of Schuberts
'Seranade given as an encore" The
Birmingham Daily Post said: Mr.. LAWN
has light tenor voice of good quality,
with some colour in his tones, he phrases
we'll, and sings without the vibrato. In
Ponchielli's 'Cielo Mar from La Clio
conda, he created a highly favorable inn
preston and after Adams The Star of
Bethlehem he was vociferously encored.
The new conner must be credited with
having achieved a decided success"

The policy Of wholesale criticism
of state institutions, laws and officials,
which has been the rule in some news
paper Offices, has at different times
brought words of contempt for the
state board of health. A bulletin re-
Gently issued by this board. shows that
it was organized in 1886 in accordance
with an act of the legislature. Up to
that time there had been little legls-
lation in regard to the preservation
of public health and sanitation. A
comparison of the death rate of GER
tain diseases in the five years pre-
vious to the establishment of the
state board of health and in the last
five years shows a lessened mortality
of GAS lives in the two diseases of
scarlet fever and diphtheria alone
The death rate from scarlet fever is
now 56.6 per cent lower than formerly,
the mortality in diphtheria and Group
has been reduced 50.7 per cent, and
there are now 31.7 per cent less deaths
from consumption. The Vermont state
board of health is a commission which
is doing a notably beneficial work, and
it should receive all encouragement
possible, both in appropriations from
the legislature, and in cooperation of
the people among whom it carries on
its work.

In its final estimate of the United
States wheat crop up to Oct. -. the
New England Homestead places the
total yield of spring and winter at
75200O,0OO bushels; 100000, 900 winter
and 292,OOO,0OO spring The largest
previous crop was that of 1898 esti-
mated by the same authority at u.s.
100000. The increased acreage and
the excellent climatic conditions from
start to finish are given as the reasons
for the enormous crop. This authority
reports the smallest potato crop at
time of harvest in ten years, with pos
sibly one exception, phenomenally
high prices ruling. The total CONNER
cial crop of the United States is esti-
mated at 1e7,O0O,OO0 bushels, against
24O,000000 last year and nearly 29O.-
100000 in 1895, the biggest crop ever
grown. The one word drought goes
far toward describing the dsappoint-
ing yield, for that was the chief rea-
son in the Middle West and North
west.

The mayoralty contest in New York
is now the chief topic of discussion
in the metropolitan journals, and is
attracting unusual attention through
out the country. Seth Low, the Re
publican and Independent candidate,
has resigned the presidency of Colum-
bia University in order that he may
be entirely free to engage in the cam
paign. He has a heavy handicap of
an enormous normal Democratic ma
jority, Bryan having carried New York
county by $4,000 plurality, while
Brooklyn lacked only 2400 votes of
being in the Democratic column in the
presidential election. There is un-
questionably a strong Low sentiment
throughout the CITY, and the registra-
ton is regarded as favorable to him.
The registration of $4,000 voters in
the first two days, or $4,000 more than
in the first two days in the last mayor
atty election, and only $4,000 less than
in the presidential election of last
year shows the extraordinary inter
est that is being taken in the contest

BRATTLEBORO,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1901.

The students of Norwich University
have acted a manly part in pledging
themselves in their class meetings to
abolish hazing, and to obey strictly
the regulations of the faculty in re-
gard to the treatment of freshmen.
These pledges having been sent to
President Allan D. Brown, he has is
sued an order congratulating the fac
ulty and the cadets that the word
"hazing" is abolished from the vocab-
ulary of Norwich University. We
think it safe to guess that President
Brown may also be entitled to con-
gratulations for personal influence of
the right kind in bringing about so de-
sirable a reform.

The Burlington News quotes from
The Phoenix its statement of last week
that every Judge Of the Vermont SUI
preme court is believer in and a
supporter of the prohibitory law, and
makes this comment:
In so far as this item may be taken
to show that the judges of our su-
preme court do their plain and un-
prejudiced duty when the prosecuting
officers bring prohibitory law cases
before them it is highly compliment
tary to our judges. In so far as it
tends to show a partisan bias and a
greater energy in enforcing this law
than any other law upon our statute
books it is decidedly the contrary.
When the judges of the highest court
of a commonwealth become partisan
of any law and enter into a crusade
for its enforcement they are lowering
the standard of the judiciary and
changing the character and history
of Anglo-SaXon jurisprudence"
What The Phoenix meant to say was
that the judges of the supreme court
regard the prohibitory law as equally
binding on them and on the people of
Vermont for respect and enforcement
with the other laws on the statute
book. Should the officers of the law
become negligent or Indifferent about
enforcing the laws against theft, per-
jury or arson, the judges would un-
doubtedly center into a crusade" if
one chooses to call it by that term,
to compel the enforcement of those
laws. This we understand to be the
attitude of the judges toward the pro
hibitory law-to place it on an equal
basis with other Vermont laws-noth-
ing more, and nothing less.

his cousin, Leslie McPeters, near Mon

BILE move in the Hill-Morgan deal for the
consolidation of all the northwestern
railroads was taken at Burlington, Iowa,
yesterday when the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railway company was incor-
porated yesterday with a capital of $780,
100000. The object of this company is to
acquire the Burlington system and, it
is believed, a number of other roads
This is simply part of the immense plan
to combine all the western roads into
one mammoth system. The details of the
combination have been worked upon for
many months by the representatives of
the James J. Hin and the J. Pierpont
Morgan interests who have been quietly
obtaining control of large blocks of stock
in the western railroad companies.

From shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves is
but two generations is again exemplifed
in the career of Perry Tiffany of New
Commodore Perry, the valiant Yankee
who, scarcely knowing port from star
board, built a navy out of the pine
woods growing on the borders of Lake
Champlain and licked and captured the
grand old man a commodore and he
opened the gates of Japan. Tiffany went
through bankruptcy last year and has
been up before the courts for alleged con-
cealment of property. 1t came out in the
testimony that young Tiffany has been
so busy in the doings of the smart set
that he knew nothing about his financial
matters. He played golf and left his
matters to his ''man of business" He
knew nothing except that he had spent
$S4000 more than he had, and therefore
he thought the court ought to release
him from all obliga ations. From Commo-
dore Perry, the bluff idol of the fathers
to grandson Tiffany, bankrupt, is a far
cry in degeneracy.-GBarre Telegram
The Barre historian has made rich
discovery. No one ever heard before
that Commodore Perry or any other
Perry ever licked the British fleet on
Lake Champlain. Oliver Hazard
Perry, a youth of 2S years, won from
the British on Lake Erie one of the
most memorable naval battles, and
