BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From WpdnaSdayiS ROStOn JOurn q

The general butter situation has gained
some strength from the conditions prevail
ing in the West, and the tendency is more
in favor OF the selling interest than last
buyers are not disposed to respond TO any
advance. Supplies are ample for all present
wants, and as there is little or no demand for
cold storage, II will be difficult to establish a
rise here. but If the advance in the West is
maintained and the curtallment of the make
there continues, there is no knowing what
another week may bring forth
So far as actual selling prices were con-
ceIned yesterday, they were no higher than
last week, but there was stronger tone, and
most receivers were asking fraction or two
more. al find IL hard to get more than 20
cents for the ordinary run OF extras, but
buyers are more willing to pay that rate. and
give 20is cents for the strictly fine lots. In
fact, have refused less than 2015 cents for all
my goods that grade full extra, because | ex-
pect that the supplies will be smaller next
week, ana all cannot sell shall put away"
This was the report OF one of the largest
receivers OF Northern creamery. Another
said ii am indifferent about selling at 20&
cents, and expect to get 81 cents for my
special makes, but | admit that 20 to 2Ojs
cents is IA full selling rate for this week
so far"
There is not much change to note in the
cheese situation. Some of the country mar.
kets indicated a slight advance, while others
held Just about the same at last week. The
demand here Is quite moderate and sales con-
tinue to range from to 90 cents, outside for
finest New York twins. For most of the Yer.
mont twins arriving to ga cents Is a full
selling rate, and lots much heated go lower.
BUYERS seem disposed to hold OF as much as
they can during the hot weather.
The egg market is working into better shape
Receipts are decreasing and accommodations
are being cleaned up, so that new arrivals
are meeting with a quicker sale. Some, how.
ever, are still arriving in bad condition and
have to be sold at low prices. Fresh Eastern
command Is to II cents, and fancy lots run up
to 20 cents.

To THE REGISTER: For about fifteen
minutes on Saturday last, the writer was
present ON the ball field where our home
team was trying to cross bats with a Wis
iting team. During that time he saw a
little bit of ball playing and heard
enough profanity-the most of which
seemed to come from the visiting team
to last him for fifty years to come.
The fact that there were several ladies
and children present was insufficient to
cause some of the players to remember
that they ought to conduct themselves
with fair degree of decency.
The next time visiting ball team
comes to our village to play ball, the
people of East Middlebury hope that
they may be permitted to witness ball
game-not an exhibition of profanity.

Joseph Larock and wife were called to-
Royalton Monday by the death of Mrs.
Iarock's father, George Pecor. The old
gentleman was 76 years of age and leaves
many descendants and relations besides
the daughter above mentioned. The
funeral was held Tuesday.
The selectmen have posted notices in
the "three-mile" bridge south of town
warning against hitching teams in the
bridge. The place is a favorite fishing
ground, and the covered bridge has been
used as stable by some of the fisher
men. A few weeks ago r. Ballentne
met with serious accident as result
of this practice, colliding with one of
these standing teams In the dark bridge
and in the mix-up. which followed re-
ceiving severe blows from his horses

Gentry Bros famous shows, enlarged
exactly twice their former size, will ex-
hibit in Middlebury, Monday. July 20.
Gentry Bros shows are the most enter
tanning exhibitions that exhibit under
canvas, and the recent addition of nearly
one hundred new acts and animals make
it more enjoyable than ever. The tiny
baby elephants, the novel acting of the
monkeys, together with the other new
| features, make the show even superior
to its former self. They will give two
performances, afternoon and night.

The other day an English peer, a
leader of his party, declared that it is
foreign to the British genius and for
eign to the traditions that have made the
British empire" to attempt to govern a
white people without its consent. This
was in reference to the South African
war. 1t is a strange coincidence that
the country which denied this principle
to the American colonies hundred
years ago should awaken to its truth
Just at the time when those colonies, in
their later pride of power, had begun to
disregard the principle in their dealings
with other peoples.

It may or may not be true, as charged
by "Ouida." that the British In South
Africa hold as a prisoner of war, in
wire-fenced inclosure, the famous author
and Afrikander Olive Schreiner, but it is
sent President Kruger and of acting
President Schalkburger were held as
prisoners in Pretoria. 1t is also announce
ed by Lord Raglan that the white prls-
oners In the concentration camps num-
bered 27,7ll women, 1900 children and
II, G24 men. "SiXty-three men, one hun
bred and thirty-eight women and five
hundred and seventy-siX children died in
these camps in June"
And this is modern war. This is Brit.
ish civilization, This Is the nation that
held up its fat fingers in holy horror at
the Spanish "reconcentradO" camps in
Cuba
AS dark shadow on the other side
of this terrible picture comes the report
of British losses published in the London
Chronicle of July 6. To the end of June
there had been total of 60, 92l casualties,
including 7S4 officers and 1864 men
dead and l4l4 officers and 1857 men
wounded
The British casualties thus outnumber
the total Boer force in the field at any
time at least two to one. The casualties
in June were ga dead, 4G6 wounded, IS
missing and prisoners, 40l dead Of dis
ease and 1907 inyalided home-a total
loss of 4S0G for the month. With the
money cost added, this purely lingo war
has been and still is not only disgrace
but danger to England.

Old Home Week may be one of the
needed influences to stir up the old state
and the towns. In towns where the
occasion is not observed the people will
go to other towns and see what their
neighbors of enterprise and public spirit
can do. They will see in the visitors on
Old Home Week evidence of the success
Nermonter are making in other states
that use their opportunities and improve
their advantages. They may, in the
course of few of these occasions. learn
the much needed lesson that Jealous
public spirit is needed to make a state or
town to grow.

That little slip of King Edwards
wasn't half bad when, in thanking the
committee of American women who de-
sired to present him, against his wishes,
with hospital ship medal, he referred
to their ''loyal, dutiful sentiments"
Those tuft hunters have been far more
loval to Great Britain in the South
African war than they have been to the
American sentiment of liberty and in
dependence which has imbued the Beers
in the fight.

Commandant Wainwright, head of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, has given
out some statements which place Secre-
tary Long in a rather ridiculous light, by
reason of the latter's precipitancy in for
bidding the use of the third volume of
Maclay's history in that institution.
Wainwright says that this volume is not
now being used in the school and no
thought of using it has been held. The
whole book Is devoted to the Spanish
American war, and no regular school
course can give the time to studying an
entire volume on single war. This Is
too obvious to require argument. None
of Maclay's histories are used in the reg
ular course of the Academy. A special
advanced course In naval history was
established some time ago, and the first
two volumes of Maclay's history were
among the books recommended for
special reading. The Spanish war is of
too recent date to be studied probably
in any school, much less in a naval
school, and it will be some years before
a text book on the subject is introduced
at Annapolis. 1t therefore appears that,
wholly aside from the merits or dement's
of the Sampson-Schley controversy, the
hullabaloo raised over the Maclay histor-
les partakes strongly of a tempest In a
teapot. 1t has, however, served very
good purpose in forcing an investigation
of the naval campaign at Santiago
which, it is to be hoped, will set at rest
the tiresome chickering's of the Schley and
anti-Schley partisans. The court OF
inquiry, it is announced, will meet in
Washington in September, and Admiral
Dewey will be the presiding officer.

Towns which are large enough to
make an Old Home Week celebration
possible and have not the spirit or the
ambition to attempt anything along that
line, will make a great mistake, not so
much because of the direct result, which
will probably not be apparent, but be-
cause the failure to show enterprise or
arouse energy on matters not directly
connected with the financial condition of
the citizens of town always means a
deterioration in the life of the town.
Such lack of ambition as demonstrated
in many Vermont towns today, is the
greatest curse of the state.

From a number of towns comes the
announcement that spirit of indifference
prevails with reference to the project OF
the observance of Old Home Week.
There are residents in each community
who would like to have successful cele-
bration in their towns and who would
regret to see other communities go
ahead of them in this respect, but the
chief difficulty is that they want other
people to assume responsibility for the
project and also do most Of the work.
