Yale's Bicentennlal.

New Haven, Conn, has been the
most interesting spot in the United
States this week. The occasion has
been the celebration of the 20Oth an
niversary of Yale university. The ex-
ercises began with religious services
on Sunday, and were succeeded by
special features on the succeeding
days. Monday night 5000 graduates
and students of Yale marched in
gay parade through the streets decked
with the Yale colors. Wednesday was
the great day of the celebration, with
President Roosevelt the first of many
distinguished guests who were in at
tendance. A long list of degrees was
conferred-47 distinguished men re-
ceiving an LII. D., Lit. D.. and d.
d. Among those who received LII. d.
were President Roosevelt, Archbishop
Ireland, John Hay, secretary of state,
Bishop Potter of New York. Chief
Justice Fuller, Seth Low Of Columbia
University, Richard Olney, Whitelaw
Reid, Admiral Sampson and Presi-
dent Pritchett of Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology. The Lift. DIS
went to Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
George Washington Gable, Samuel L.
Clemens, Richard Watson Glider,
William Dean Howells, Brander Mat
thews, Thomas Nelson Page and
Woodrow Wilson.
The Grafton was delivered by JUS
tice Brewer of the United States
Supreme court. He was applauded
time after time, but when, turning
slightly towards President Roose-
welt, Justice Brewer said, Thank God,
there are college men who are able to
recognize a true Washington, whether
his name be George or Booker" there
was a very tumult of cheers, showing
where the sympathies of the great
audience were with regard to the re-
cent White House incident.

Il MAY be a True Story.

One of the New York papers has a
story about President Roosevelt's visit to
Connecticut this week which is good
enough to be true When the President
came on to attend the Yale bicentennial
celebration he left Washington on Mon
day so as to spend a day with his sister,
Mrs. Cowles. at Pennington, Conn. The
story goes that on Tuesday the family
went on a drive and on the way up
long hill the President got out to stretch
his legs" AS he walked along he saw an
old farmer cutting strange antics with
some cows in a field.
what are you doing there" he called
out cheerfully across the fence
Trying to get these cattle out of the
field" answered the farmer.
''I'll help you" shouted the President,
and over the fence he jumped and began
to chase the cattle out of the field in
way and with a success that nearly took
the farmers breath away. When the job
was done, the farmer mopped his fore
head and asked the stranger to come in
and have a glass of cider" "Oh no,
thank you. 1 can't stop, I am going on"
was the strangers answer, and he beat
a retreat back over the fence and into
the highway.
by gum! I never see such a feller,"
was the farmers comment when he was
told two hours later who his helper was.

President Roosevelt has appointed
Charles II. Darling of Bennington
assistant secretary of the navy to
succeed Frank H. Hackett. resigned.
Mr. Darling will succeed to the Office
in December. He was born in Wood
stock in 1859 and was graduated at
Tufts college. He studied law and
settled in Bennington in 1886. The
next year he was appointed municipal
Judge, an office which he now holds.
He represented Bennington in the leg
islature of 1896, and is a man who
enjoys the confidence, not only of his
own townsmen but of all who know
him throughout the state, and his ap-
pointment is warmly commended.
President Roosevelt made Judge Oar
lings acquaintance during his visit
to Isle La Motto on the occasion OF
the Fish and Game league annual ban
quet 1t will be remembered that it
was the office of assistant secretary
of the navy which President Roose-
welt held at the outbreak of the war
with Spain, and which he resigned to
organize the Rough Riders.

A Deed Worth poina.

The Middlebury Register, in speak
ing of Mr.. Battell's purchase of Ellen's
Mountain and his purpose to convert
it into a public park, says that this
peak, situated in the town of Warren
near the Fayston line, is one of the
highest in the Green Mountain range,
is entirely covered with forest, and is
unquestionably zone of the most
beautiful spots in the world"
Situated near the center of Vermont,
it looks over every part of the state, so
noted for the beauty and diversity of its
scenery At the east the White Noun
tains and other mountains of New Hamp-
shire are plainly visible; and nearer, to
the west, the Adirondacks, with Lake
Champlain one of the most classic as
we'll as beautiful of American lakes, eX-
tending under them for nearly its whole
length. There is certainly no view point
finer east of the Rocky mountains, If as
fine, and with these purchases of Mr.
Battell the original character of its i'm
mediate forest surrounding, extending
for some miles, which so greatly en-
hances the beauty of all such mountain
peaks, will be permanently preserved"
The Register says that Mr.. Battell
has also bought Camels Hump for
similar preservation. In this age Of
universal forest destruction Mr.. Bat
tells act shines out like "a good deed
in a naughty world" 1t is a deed
worth the doing by any man who has
the money to do it, and future gen
erations of Vermonters will hold Mr..
Battells name in honored memory.

The registration in greater New
York for the November election
closed with the names of 616,264
voters on the rolls. This is $4,000
less than in last years presidential
election, but it is $4,000 more than in
the mayoralty fight of 1897. Each
side claims this increase to be favor
able to its cause. Every sign of the
campaign indicates that Low is going
to poll an immense vote, but whether
he will get enough to overcome the
normal Tammany Democratic major
ity no one can say with any GER
tainty. Those who are in the thick
of the fight say that the essential
thing to be accomplished is the cleo
ton of Justice Jerome, who is making
the sharpest kind of a fight, to the
district attorneyship, because the dis
trict attorney has far more power in
the city's affairs under the amended
charter than has the mayor.

The Morrisville Messenger, which is
l.. P. Thayer's present and latest
newspaper industry, has recently
thrown out a feeler on the senatorial
question for next year by affirming
that it's editor has heard ardent Dill
ingham men declare their disap-
pointment in their candidate, be-
cause "he has done absolutely moth
ing" and one leading worker in par
ticular is bemoaning his mistake in
not working for Judge Ross's re-elec-
tion. The Vergennes Enterprise
quoted The Messengers paragraph
and said: What purpose, political,
practical or insane. The Messenger
seeks to serve in such a senseless
outburst, is beyond us. Can anyone
explain it?" The answer of the
Barre Times TO this question is very
brief I'VE are not in position to speak
authoritatively but it sounds like the
gentle so boss to the GrOut COW to
coax her to give down"

A Sensible View.
[From the Northfeld News.I ]

[From the Mortified News.l
Now that the Smoke of battle" has
entirely cleared away it seems to be
generally conceded that the outcome of
the senatorial fight last year was quite
satisfactory, barring, of course the per-
sonal disappointment of the more en-
thusiastic friends of other candidates.
The large majority of the warm sup
porters of Gen. Grout seem to concede
that the question is settled, at least un-
til Senator Dillingham; has had an op-
portunity to show his value in the United
States Senate. 1t is more than probable
that Gen. Grout himself takes this view
of the matter. The slight but senseless
talk that Mr.. Dillingham; has not met
the expectations of the people during
the short time he has been an active
member of the Senate is hardly worthy
of notice. 1t may be said, however, that
this irresponsible talk is confined almost
wholly to a few individuals and one or
two newspapers which evidently fear
that there will not be much doing in the
market during next years political cam
paign.

The Republicans of Ohio formally
opened the campaign in that state
Saturday in the city of Delaware.
There was a notable gathering of Re
publican leaders and state officials,
and the principal addresses were
made by Senators Foraker and Hanna.
Senator Hanna put a quietus on cur
rent rumors, and incidentally caused
the great demonstration of the day.
by stating that he did not intend to

Massachusetts. Rhode Island, New
Jersey, Ohio and Virginia will hold
elections for full state tickets on
Tuesday, Nov 5. Kentucky elects
a legislature which will choose Sen
ator Deboe's successor. Minor state
officials are to be elected in Maryland
and Pennsylvania, and there will be
a municipal election in Philadelphia.
In Maryland the great contest is over
the seat in the United States Senate
now occupied by George L. Yelling
ton. The contest of really national
interest to be decided on that day is
in New York city, where the contest
is for the Tammany and anti-Tam-
many control of Greater New York.

A "Nigger" at the White House Din
ing Table.

Race prejudice in the South has
been famed into a white heat of fury
by the fact that President Booker T.
Washington of Tuskegee Normal In
stitute dined by invitation with Pres
ident Roosevelt at the White House
last week Thursday evening. AS soon
as the fact became known there was
an outburst of hot denunciation from
papers and people in all parts OF the
South. Some of the leading and more
dignified papers restrained their
wrath to a simple statement that
mistake, greatly to be deplored had
been made: or to the remark in sub
stance, that ''it is all a question of
taste, and the President has a right
to eat with a Niger if he chooses to
do So" But the language of the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal repre-
sents the general sentiment. This
paper said: "The most damnable out
rage which has ever been perpetrated
by any citizen of the United States
was committed yesterday by the
President when he invited a niger to
dine with him at the White House"
Almost uniformly this action was in
and the declaration was made that
it undoes every act Of conciliation
which has been shown to the South,
and that it has made the South solid
for the Democratic party for another
90 years.
1t is needless to say that President
Roosevelt's action is universally ap-
proved at the North Booker T.
Washington is distinguished and
representative American citizen. He
is doing at his normal training school
in Alabama as great work for the
uplifting of humanity as has ever
been done by any American. He is a
man of refinement and cultivation.
Many Northern men of prominence
and of social standing in their own
communities have been glad to wei
come him as a guest in their homes
There was no reason why he should
not be a guest at Mr.. Roosevelts
family table in the White House if
the President wished to invite him.
Further than this, it was a commend
able act on the Presidents part to
show that the social line is drawn in
our best American life, not on the
color of a mans skin, but on his in
telligence, his personal character, and
his good breeding.
The incident is chiefly significant
as a revelation to the North of the
intensity of the race feeling in the
South. and of the Unborn determine
tion of its people that the negro shall
never be considered as other than a
social inferior. 1t may have its COM
pensation in showing to the South
how the innate feeling of the North
interprets the question of fundamental
manhood and its right to recognition.

Seventy-hve t75) per cent at least of the
the greatest benefit accrues to Essex

considering that it is ineQuitable and
UNJUST that Hudson county should be
driven to bear this expense for the benefif
OF Essex county, it was suggested to the
committee of the Essex County Freehold
trS tlS,, ana lts counsel that an equitable dis

Your committee further begs leave to
report that this road is considerably used

fcing with New York and it is a hard
ship to them to ibe compelled to use other
roads, that it is much desired that there
should be a speedy solution of the diff
