VERMONT NEWS.
1856 REPORTED KILLED.
Commissioner Titeomb on the Re-
cent Open Season for Deer.

The st. Adams Messenger publishes an
extended interview with Commissioner
John w. Titcomb of st. Johnsbury in re-
gard to the number of deer killed during
the recent open season, and also upon
the general subject of deer production
and deer protection in Vermont. The
number of deer reported to the commits
sioners as killed during the past open
season was 1876. The reports are given
by postmasters who are furnished
postal cards for this purpose. The num-
Der reported will probably be increased
to above 200. Mr.. Titcomb estimates that
about % per cent more deer are killed
in the open season than are actually re-
ported The largest number was killed
in Windsor county, Ga; the next largest
in Rutland county, 81; in Washington
county II were killed, and in Addison
county 10; in Windham county the num-
Der reported was 4, one each in Grafton,
Halifax, Windham and Stratton. In Es-
sex county, which has the most wild land
of any county in the state, where the
deer are probably more plentiful than
in any other county, the number reported
was 3. This is because comparatively
little attention is paid to the open sea-
son there, the hunters and lumbermen
supplying themselves with venison almost
at pleasure, and also because few hunters
from outside go there
An unusually large number of heavy
deer appear to have been killed. A good
many were above $50 pounds in weight,
and several were above 300. Dr. Calvin
of Londonderry killed a buck in Mt Ia
Dor which weighed 366 pounds before il
was dressed. BY way of comparison IL Is
said that in 1885, the first open season.
131 deer were reported killed; in 1899 50:
and in 1900 127. Mr.. Titcomb is not pre-
pared to say that longer open season
ought to be granted. He believes that
| the deer will continue to increase with
the open season as at present. He thinks
that the complaints of damage to farmers
| by deer are greatly overestimated These
complaints come mainly from men who
are opposed to protecting the deer. and
who want the privilege of killing them

TEACHERS TROUBLES
A TRYING OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN
WITH DELICATE NERVES.
The Hard Work Entailed by the Charge of
School Room often Causes the
Health to Break Down.

Health to Break Down.
From The Tribune, Minneapolis, MINI.
Teaching school is an occupation which
has many attractions for cultured wo-
men, but it also has many drawbacks
and often affects their health seriously.
Especially is this so in the case of women
with delicate nervous systems and those
with tendency to pulmonary troubles.
Miss Mary X. Powers, of Ellsworth, Wis,
is teacher whose health was broken
down by the hard work which the charge
Of a large school entails. She says:
"During the winter Of 1893, while
teaching school, became subject to
nervousness, which grew worse until my
whole system was run down. My back
ached and at times was so dizzy that 1
could hardly stand. My limbs were
swollen and always tired, so that felt
no more rested in the morning than
when went to bed. was also troubled
with a cough and the food ate did not
strengthen me. This condition, accom-
panied by palpitation of the heart, kept
up for several months until in March,
when I read about DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People in Juneau, Wis
consin, newspaper.
81 began taking the pills and in about
a week noticed a change for the better
felt SO encouraged by this improve
ment that kept on taking them until 1
had used three boxes, and was entirely
cured. 1 always keep Pink Pills by me
and 1 take them occasionally when 1
feel the need of tonic.
81 believe firmly in the good done by
Pink Pills for Pale People and have adj
Vised many of my friends to use them "
All the elements necessary to give new
life and richness to the blood and restore

densed form, in DIR. Williams Pink Pills

The "utland Railroad Pushing Along

The Rutland railroad and the Grand
Trunk system are at loggerheads. The
Grand Trunk refused at the end of last
week to accept any freight from the Rut-
land road over the South Shore by which
the Rutland has been accustomed to shin
Its freight to Montreal. Arrangements
were at once made by the Rutland to
run into Montreal over the Canadian
Pacific road.
The Rutland railroad secures through
its purchase of the Chatham & Lebanon
Springs railroad, an entrance into Bos-
ton through the Boston & Albany, now
leased by the New York Central This
Will give the Rutland an entrance into
Boston Independent of the Boston &
Maine, via the Fitchburg division. When
the Rutland gets its Chatham & Lebanon
Springs division into working order. it
Will have an Independent line from Mon
treal to Boston in direct competition
with the Boston & Maine and Central
Vermont. The greater length of this
line WILL however, be a handicap for
through business.

The stock barns of F. E. Elimball at
Oxbow Farm, Newbury, were destroyed
by fire early Tuesday evening. The orr
gin of the fire is unknown. The barns
were the largest in Orange county, one
was 600 feet long and the other 200 feet.
Eighteen horses, about forty cows, a lot
of hogs, and some 300 tons of hay were
destroyed. The loss is In excess OF wv

Since this final decision by the Vermont
supreme court 1t is said that Mr.. Deavitt
one of Doherty's attorneys. is reported
as intimating that the case may or could
be carried up to the United States SUI
Dreme court on a writ of error based on
the claim that the sentence is Illegal and
contrary to the provisions of the state
constitution, in that the constitution pro-
vides that a session of the legislature
shall intervene between the imposing and
execution of death sentence. Mr..
Deavitt holds that. while Dohertv's case
has already been before one legislature,
that fact does not count against his
hnal sentence by the court. 1t would
seem probable that the opinion in
Dohertys case was unanimous. the
judges must have considered carefully
this among other points raised

RATHER RISKY.

Why take the risk of letting cough or
cold hang on all winter until it brings on
serious lung trouble, possibly consump-

has had so remarkable history, or cured
so many pulmonary diseases. Get 1t at

FEED CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
An Increase of 25 Cents in Coal the
Past Week.

Feed continues to advance in the
market, nearly all kinds being quoted
higher this week. There is no corn
stored in the railroad cribs along the
western lines, where usually there are
millions of bushels. The new crop
is of poor quality, and stock growers
are paying the highest prices Of the
year for old corn for feeding purposes.
Apples are a rarity in the local mar
ket, and what few there are command
the high price of $3.50 for the better
quality. There has been an increase
of rs cents in coal the past week,
stove coal now bringing $7.25. The
price Of potatoes was put at % cents
a peck this morning. Hides, being
of better quality at this time of the
year, bring a higher price.

Mrs. Grifin's Racy Story.
Ruffaln Cnmmerciall

Ii
Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin, known to all
club women as the successful organ
izer of the first American women's club
in London, told a racy story 10 the
State Federation of women's clubs at
it's recent meeting in Buffalo.
Mrs. Griffin stated that there was
some prejudice in England against the
American club woman, and that she,
herself. shared that prejudice to some
degree.
The American club woman is so ter
ribly busy that often wonder. and so
do other people wonder, if she finds any
time at all to spend at home" said
Mrs. Griffin. Il heard a story once
which aptly illustrates this fault in the
American club woman: Three little
boys were together. and their childish
talk finally drifted to the question of
where they We're born. One little boy
said:
I know where 1 was born. I was
born at 80 Washington street, and ]
know where the house is, too
And one of the other little boys
said:
= I know where 1 was born, too 1t
was at so Pennsylvania avenue. and
l can take you right to the house
The third little boy hesitated and
then finally said:
1 don't know where I was born but
l know when l was born. 1 know there
wasn't anybody at home AZ the time
but me and grandma, cause mother
was at the club"

THE AUSTRALIAN CENSUS.
. RiTIsH COLONIES are fin,

u RtTlSH COLONIES are find
~ ing but cold comfort in the
- report of their various CEN
sus departments. A short time ago
our neighbors to the north were sur
pr'Sed to find that their population
SHOWED but little increase over what
1t was decade ago, a condition
which was generally charged to su-
perioI attractions offered by the
United States
Now comes Australia with a SINH
lar complaint. Its population is now
3,I7L212. showing an increase since
1881 of only a trife moro than 5OO,-
600. This is nearly all made up by
the natural excess of births over
deaths during that time. Only 5,32S
Is due TO immigration.
The meagerness of this influx of
foreigners is made more striking bv
comparison with the report of the
United States immigration bureau
at Now York. During the last fis-
cal year nearly 100000 foreigners
have come into the country, while in
ten years Australia has added but
5.52S 10 its population by means of
immigration This is made partic-
ularly discOuraging when the records
of former decades are gone into.
During the ten years ending with
1891 Australia gained 3O3,75O in
habitsnts through immigration, and
for the two preceding decades the
figures in each instance ran close to
20O.O00.
Another feature of the situation
that has a chilling effect on the Aus
tralians is that even this small in
crease contains but few Europeans.
II viii not be definitely known until
the census figures arr analyzed AS to

good share. if not the whole of the
increase through immigration, is

Other Asiatic races.
