We read in news item that Smith
Norton, lving in Wells. killed 20 skunks
near his home in asingle day last week.
He was dressed in a rubber suit
which he burned after the slaughter.
This incident leads tbe Barre Times to
resurreet Bill Nye's story of the man
who ran skunk farm at Huntington,
Indiana Last year, said Bill, "he at

TINS year the society has paid him five

The communication in our last weeks
issue entitled "The Heavenly Muse" was
worthy OF careful reading, and the opin-
ions expressed worthy of thoughtful con-
side ration. The proper study of music and
the cultivation of the love of music mean
great deal to the educational as well as
the social life of the community. The
Choral Union is doing good work and is
entitled to the hearty support of all in
any way interested in music or who be-
lleve that their children should be, both
for their own good and the good of the
community in which they live.
Mrs. carrie Nation, who is well remen-
bered in Bellows Falls since hervisit last
fall was conspicuous figure at the New
ork horse show one day last week.
She waltzed out in front of the box occu-
pied by the Vanderbilts and commenced
delivering harangue on the improperly
OF the dresses Worn by the ladies of the
party. Later she advanced to a wine
booth and seizing bottle of wine by the
neck as though about to begin the smash
ing act began to lecture the attendant.
He promptly grappled with the old lady
and with the assistance of the police she
was quickly elected from the building.
The papers Monday morning told of
another outrage in Pennsylvania caused
by the use of dynamite. The front part
OF saloon was blown across the street
and buildings on both sides of the street
were badly wrecked The saloon keeper
and his family were sleeping in the third
story and escaped serious injuries. The
only explanation is that the saloon keep
er has two sons who are non-union men,
who worked during the recent strike
Lynching would be too good for these
fiends who are making free use of dyna-
mite and the miners union is as much
and perhaps more vitally interested in
apprehending them land bringing them
to punishment than is the general pub
lie.
The coal strikecommission in session
in Scranton, Pa, gated genuine SEN
sation Friday when it announced that
both the operators and the miners had
agreed to endeavor to compromise their
differences outside of the commission.
Representatives of both sides stated that
the principal matters of disagreement
had been satisfactorily arranged and that
details would be looked after later and
the commission asked to act as an advi-
sorry board. 1t seems probable that the
miners will secure nine hours day with
an increase of 10 per cent in wages. The
indications now are that the union will
not be recognized in settlement.
The Irish see light ahead. 1t is gen
orally understood that the English gov
eminent will next year introduce land
bill and while all its provisions are not
known it is said on good authority that
the bill will provide for the purchase of
the land in ireland now held by the
absentee landlords. The tenants will be
allowed to purchase the lands upon
which they live with the aid of funds to
be advanced by the government repay
| able in miscellaneous 1t is said that the
sales will not be compulsory but that
such inducements will be offered the
landlords that they will be very willing
to dispose of their property. The right
to purchase the land which they till is
one of the great principles for which the
Irish are contending and the prospect OF
the successful outcome of the agitation
causes national rejoicing.
