OLD HOME WEEK.
What the State Association Advises in the
Way of Local Celebrations.

W nat the state ASSOCIATION ADVISES in the
Way of Local Celebrations.
Vermont inaugurates Old Home Week
this year, and the Legislature has set
apart the week beginning August 18th
for the homecoming of native SONS and
daughters of tie Green Mountain state
residing in other states. Every town
should observe this reunion festival.
The Vermont Old Home Week Asso-
citation was formed for the purpose of
encouraging the observance of Old
Home Week and promoting town cele-
brations. The cooperation of public
spirited citizens in every community is
solicited to further the cause. Town
clerks, selectmen and other town officers
are especially requested to take the ini-
tial steps necessary to form local Old
Home Week association. They will
have the hearty cooperation in this
work of the county member of the execu-
tive committee, who will also assist
towns in organizing for local celebra-
tons. Blanks and circulars necessary

Maine and New Hampshire have Sc
lected the same week as Vermont for
their Old Home Week Celebrations. Both
of these sister states have observed with
marked success these reunion festivals in
previous years. NermonterS have the
reputation of being as patriotic as the
citizens of any other state in the Union.
The Inauguration of Old Home Week
this year in Vermont should be met with
an enthusiasm on the part of Vermont
ers at home and abroad that should re-
suit in an observance of the event worthy
of Nermonters and creditable to the
state. We should at least equal our sis
ter states in the success attending the
celebration of our first Old Home Week.
Considerable interest in this celebration
has already been aroused among Yer
monters residing in other states. This
interest is particularly marked among
members of the Vermont Association in
Boston, Providence, New York, Brook,
Ign, Washington, Buffalo, Chicago, Mimi
eapolis, St. Paul, San Francisco and 9th

Association in Boston are favorably con-

citation and their families number about
400 people. They contemplatHtraveling

SENSATIONAL BOOK SELLING.

The wide operations of the Interna-
tional Association of Newspapers and
authors have caused a revolution in
book-selling, and everyone who wants
to lay in a stock OF the best books in the
whole range OF present-day fiction, and
at a ridiculously little price, should now
.act promptly. The Association has ar
ranged with a notable list of welEknown
authors and publishers Of high-priced
copyrighted books to surrender their
royalty aud profits for certain time on
single popular work, in exchange for
extensive advertising. This book is
then printed on excellent paper from the
original plates, handsomely bound in
art-Iinen cloth, with special cover design,
making a volume just as good to read
and just as attractive aud seryiceahle as
the Sl.2j or 81 80 edition but costing
only 20 cents a copy. In a word you pay
the quarter for the book but keep the
dollar or over in your pocket. The plan
is made public throughout New England
by the Boston Journal and the distribu-
ton 10y mail and otherwise is conducted
through the house of Jordan, Marsh &
Co.
A new novel and new author is
brought forward each week. Last week
the Offering was Paul Leicester Ford's
''Great X. & A. Train Robbery" Mr..
Ford's book continues on sale, but this
week is especially devoted to Max Penn
berton and his delightful romance, "A
Puritan's Wife" Both books are selling
by the thousands daily at the little price,
and the way to get them is to send be-
low printed book voucher with 30 cents
each and the volumes will be sent post
paid.
The books should be ordered promptly
each week as the allotment for Boston
and New England is limited

Golden Carnets nt Auction.

According to a Lisbon correspondent
two magnificent carpets, presented by
the Infanta Donna Sanche to the royal
convent Of ST. Antonio in 1900, have
just been sold by auction at the munich
pal chamber to pay for repairs at the
convent and church. The sale Of the
carpets, which were Persian, about
eighteen feet square, embroidered with
real gold, caused much excitement. The
most eager bidders were two groups,
French and German. Bidding began
at $4.44O. and the Frenchmen secured
the prize for $3.50, which is regarded
as nearly $1,000 below the real value.
Two other equally splendid carpets
from the Estrelia convent were also an
nOunced for sale. but public feeling
has become so strong that the sale has
been cOuntermanded.

the growth Of prosperity Is hailed in
Cuba by Civil Governor Jose Miguel
Gomez, Of Puerto Principe. He has
officially reported that prosperity is re-
turning to the island and that the heavy
cane crop and high wages are making
the Cubans 50 satisfied that they desire
nothing radical. At the same time here
in the United States, Booker Washing
ton, a practical negro philanthropist, is
urging the people of his race that the
accumulation Of property will upllft
them from the slough of ignorance and
vice into which so large proportion
are plunged. If they will cease their
efforts to obtain social and political rec
ognition and turn their energies to
making money, he promises that they
will grow in grace and in the good
opinion Of all their countrymen.
Without a doubt both Senior Gomez
and Booker Washington are right, for
while there are great perils in plutocra-
cy the moderate accumulation of riches
Is always desirable. No nation that is
sunk in poverty, be its people ever so
gifted and virtuOus can amount to any
thing in the world. A people of thrift
not only enjoy the comforts of life, but
establish enlightened and progressive
governments, cultivate the arts and
sciences, and lead In the observance
of religion. The man who acquires
property has given bond to respect his
neighbours rights. 1t Is the great COM
merclal nations that are foremost in all
the work Of civilization. There must
be accumulated wealth before art and
science can be encouraged, for without
wealth there can be no leisure suitable
to the encouragement of intellectual or
artistic pursuits. At the same time
riches can be abused and in the pur-
suit and in the use of them the worst
passions of the heart are displayed.
