The Morrisville Citizen comments on
the remarkable mortality among lead
ing citizens of the Second Congregational
district of Vermont during the past year
First came the death of Hon. Levant
M. Reed Gen. CIRCUITS competitor in
his last Congressional fight, one OF the
ablest men in the district. Later came
the sudden death of Gen. Julius ]. Els
tey, one of the most popular citizens OF
Vermont and the one whom all eyes
naturally turned when the question was
asked, What citizen will the Repub-
licans of the east side next present for
Governor" Then came the genial and
only" Col. Hooker, man who was in
many respects without a peer in the en-
tire state. Last month came the demise
of that staunch and rugged Huse, and
now deaths quintette has been made
complete In the demise of Gen. Grout.

The Open Sky.

Underneath the open sky
l would let the world go by,
Every shred of harassing
Lapsing with the swallows wing;
Every scrap from cares gray loom
Vanishing amid the bloom;
Every tissue of regret
Fading like the mists that fret
Height and hollow, ere the morn
In the Orient is born
Every grief, or old or new.
Soothed by Gods unchanging blue.
And the hush-song of the rill
In the shadow of the hill,
Where the beech boughs whisper so
Tender. lovingly and low;
Every doubt dispelled and blown
Even from the vision-zone
BY the airs as kind as creep
Through the lilied fields of sleep;
Every fear transmitted to
Hopes as prismy as the dew,
And the old earth-joy again
Flooding soul and heart and brain
Underneath the open sky
/ would let the world go by!"

The retail market has remained firm
the past week. with no change of i'm

principal change has been in beef, which
had advanced one cent a pound. The
exact cause for the rise is not known.
but ii is evident that the western packers
are planning either from choice or neces-
sity. to put the price of best beef up
to where it was several months ago.

VICTORY FROM KEENE.
BrattIeboro's New Foot Ball
Team Scored 20 Points
And the Visitors Did Not Threaten the
Goal Line-March's Long Run the
Result Of Hurdling and Repeated
Dodging.

The local foot ball season opened Satur-
day when the Brattleboro team defeat
ed the eleven of the Keene Light Guards
$40 The Keene boys were delayed In
getting here and the game began to look
like another fake, but they finally ar
rived about 4S0.
Brattleboro kicked off but Keene soon
lost the ball at about the 30 yard line.
Brattleboro now worked a series of line
plays and in just six rushes Cooley was
pushed over for the first touchdown.
March kicked a pretty goal Score go.
Cooley fumbled the kickoff, but Con-
land dropped on the ball. which soon
went to Keene. The visitors were soon
forced to punt and Brattleboro again
regained the pigskin. March gained well
around right end on a pretty hurdle play
and Cooley and Conland got distance on
centre plunges March and Ellis added
good gains and then Cooley was tried
again. He lost his feet but Conland
came through the pile with him and
dragged him several yards. Then Cooley
was put through for the second touch
down. March failed to kick goal. Score,
10.
Keenes first kickoff was out of bounds
and Cooley returned the second Keene
fumbled and Brattleboro kept the ball.
Just before time was called March made
a good gain around right end.
In the second half Keene kicked off to
Stote. who fumbled but Williamson fell
on the ball. March and Ellis tore on
substantial gains and Allen got his dis
lance on tackles back formation. Then
the backs hammered the line until Con-
land went over for touchdown. March
kicked the goal Score. 40.
Cooley returned the kickoff and 1t was
Keene's ball at the centre of the field
but 1t was soon lost. Brattleboro con-
tinued to gain steadily until about the
30 yard line was reached. Then March
skirted right end for one of the prettiest
runs ever seen on the local gridiron. He
hurdled one man. lodged several Others
and planted the ball behind the goa
posts He then kicked the goal leaving
the final score 23-0.
Conland. Cooley and March led I'm
ground gaining for Brattleboro and Lynch
and Williamson opened big gaps in the
line. Mellen and Stolte handled the
ball clearly and the latter was always
in the interference. Keene did not have
much chance to show what she could d.
in carrying the ball and seemed power
less to stop the onslaught of the Brattle
boro backs. Billman played strongl,
on the defence.

A HUGE SEA MONSTER
LAUNCHED AT BOSTON sHiR.
YARDS.
First Seven.Masted Schooner Ever
Built Takes Its Initial Plunge
Into the Sea.

Boston, Mass, July 10.-At the Fore
River ship yard, on the south shore
of Boston harbor there was launched
today the first seven-masted schooner
ever built The initial plunge Of the
big vessel was witnessed by crowd
that numbered thousands.
The ship is named the Thomas W.
Lawson, in honor of the Boston cop
per man, whose family owns coll-
siderable share in her. She was built
by Captain John G. Crowley. pioneer
bpilder of large schooners, from dc
signs by Bowdoin B. Crowninshield,
who planned Mr.. Lawson's Independ-
ece year ago.
The Lawson has benefited from all
the lessons taught by experience with
her big predecessors. The keelson has
been made unnecessary by construct
ing her hull of steel. Thus her earn
ing capacity has been increased very
considerably. The crew expense has
been cut practically in half by the
introduction of engines to manage all
the sails. to handle the enormous an
chors and do steVedOre work She
is provided with a double bottom.
which is divided into watertight com
partments as protection against ac-
cidents. and which can be filled with
water ballast as she sails light laden:
she is lighted by electricity and

The heads of the seven masts are

deck, the topmasts being Oregon pine
spars. IS feet long, and the lower
masts steel cylinders. 80 inches in di
ameter at the bottom which is 80
feet below the wooden decking. Each
mast weighs II tons bare and will
weigh nearly 20 when fully riggel.
The seven-master has two decks OF
steel covered with wood. Altogether
her carrying capacity is 5,100 tons. Her
displacement is 10000 tons. and she
spreads $4,000 square feet of sail; yet,
by the use Of the engines, she need
have but 16 men in her crew, including
her master and her engineers. She
