A Congressional Veteran.

Galusha A. Grow, the Congression-
al veteran, on Wednesday last in the
House of Representatives, rounded
out more than half a century of pub
lie life with a forcible speech on labor
and capital. Fifty-one years ago he
made his first address in Congress,
and his theme on that occasion was
"Man's Right to the Soil" He was
first elected as a Free Soil Democrat,
and was reelected five times, the last
three as Republican. He was chos-
en- Speaker of the War Congress,
which met in extra session in July,
1861. In that year a re-apport1on-
ment put his county in Democratic
district, and his Congressional SER
vice was interrupted, to be resumed
thirty years later. His recent mem
bershipi in the House dates from 1898,
and he has been elected four times
since, each time as member-at-
large, elected by the voters of the en-
tire State. Now at the age of 80,
though still vigorous in body and
mind, he chooses to go into we'll
earned retirement, for he would have
been again elected last fall had he de-
sired the nomination. He will retire
to private life in March next, taking
with him the respect and best wishes
of Republicans generally and of many
who have not agreed with him in pc,
| litical matters.

Last Years Liquor Sales In Vermont.

Taking the records of the internal
revenue commissioner as proof, there
was not very extensive selling OF
liquors in Vermont during the last
fiscal year-as compared with other
New England states, says Wash
ington despatch to the Burlington
Free Press-the federal government
issued 249 licenses for the sale of
liquors at retail in Vermont, while in
Maine the number was 1893 and in
New Hampshire, which is fairer
comparison, the number was I ,34S.
The number of retail liquor licenses
issued to Vermonters the previous
year 326, quite falling off. Prob
ably good many of these licenses
for the last fiscal year were taken
out for only three months, for the
accommodation of patrons at sum-
mer hotels.
Last wear there were no whole
salers in Vermont, at least no licenses
were issued therefor by the federal
government but license was issued
to one rectifer. However there
were $40 dealers in malt liquors in
the state, as shown by the number
of licenses issued by the government
and Is wholesalers of malt liquors.
The total number of special tax
payers of internal revenue in Yer
mont, including those above men
toned, was 1857 last year as
against ,259 for the previous year.
Last year there were three dealers in
leaf Tobacco within the state, eight
dealers in manufactured tobacco,
three manufacturers of Tobacco, 80
manufacturers of cigars, 70 bankers,
391 proprietors of billiard saloons
and bowling alleys; 16 brokers in
stocks and bonds, II customhouse
brokers, three pawn brokers, one
proprietor of circusr 134 proprie-
tors of other exhibitions coming
within the license laws, and 2 deal
ers in grain and kindred securities.
There were So factories in Yer
mont having a separate account,
that were manufacturing cigars dur
ing the last fiscal year. They con-
sumed 53,O65 pounds of Tobacco,
during the last calendar year, which
were made into 2,766,209 cigars,
that weighed morethan threepounds
to a thousand. Those are the
larger size ofcigars which show that
the Vermont smokers are fond OF a
lbig smoke and a domestic cigar,

Are they fed according to

flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,

discussion over a proposed amend
ment increasing the tax on railroads
from seven-t enths of one per cent to

THE RAILROAD BILL.

The animated hearings before the

boiling down of the two lengthy
railroad commission bills introduced
early in the session and the passage
of a substitute measure which gives
the commission certain powers as to
station facilities, train connections
and some other things in which the
public and the railroads are inter

missioners was late because the bill
was so long delayed. The Lamoille

no reason why he will not fill the
position most acceptably. AS a

and front, are reckoned more elegant.
Low Trimmings to Continue ON
WOmen's Hats.
Trimmings continue to be arranged
low. There is a slight increase in the
height of some of the shapes, but very
little additional height Is given by the
trimming. Feathers and wings, COM
ing down over the hair behind the left
ear and at the back, is still a very ia
vorite method of trimming. The long,
dropping scarfs and ends of ribbons
will be abandoned for the winter, at
least for hats intended to be worn in

ance. Toque shapes, on the other hand,
are blocked hard.
With the important exception of the
new toques only very slight changes
have been made in shapes. Winter
hats. however, are a good deal less
wide in the brim than those worn at
present. The opening of the crown is
wide. SO that they come well on the
head, and many slant down in the neck
at the back. This arrangement, how
ever, is not SO general as it was. Modi-
in my last letter, have either quite fiat
brims or are lifted on one side to ac-
commodate the under trimmings.
Shapes slanting down at the back are
mostly curved up in front, and this
portion of the brim is generally con-
cealed by folds of the material, velvet,
soft felt or fur being used for the COW
ering. The new models in hats include,
therefore. shapes almost fat, and
shapes turned up more or less at the
front or side.
The new toques also assume differ
ent forms, but the brim. which is their
special characteristic, turns up verti-
cally all the way around. In some, a
few inches of the turned-up brim is
cut away at the back. TOQue crowns
are also wide and fiat at the top, and
a couple Of inches is the widest space
allowed between the sides of the crown
and the upturned portion Of the brim.
This space, however, is generally less
