THE CATTLE COMMISSION.

Editor Daily journal The commit
tee on agriculture voted to report
Senate bill 4, known as the Russell
bill. favorably. The vote stood as fol-
lows In favor, Douglas, Wood, Tay-
Tor, Tillotson, Barr, Aver, Morriso n
opposed, Gilfillan, Butterfeld, Allen,
Dunklee, Ward, Thompson, Farman.
The tie was broken by Chairman Dean
voting in favor.
Several members of the committee
are from towns which have never had
any testing done. They have had no per-
sonal experience. A decision has been
reached by the committee, not from
considering the various bills relating
to tuberculosis but from trying the
cattle commissioners which is entire
ly foreign to the purpose of the COM
mittee which is supposed to consider
bills and not try men.
The trial of the commissioners has
been on from the opening to the present
time, before the General Assembly.
at the start it was entirely from the
prosecution-it seemed much like
persecution. Fair play, naturally de-
manded that both sides should be
heard. At one of the public meetings
this was denied, as a move to hear the
commissioners was voted down.
Again, House bill No. 200, intro.
duced about November l by Mr.. Duns-
more of ST. Adams town, which is
understood to be the present law i'm
proved and which represents the expert
ence of the cattle commission from
start to date, has never been formally
considered by the committee. A hear
ing on this bill has never been an
nounced by the chairman of the COM
mittee and regular hearing and dis
cussion has never taken place before
the committee. How do the members
of the committee know they have re-
ported the best bill? Why have they
reported a Senate bill just received
instead of considering two House bills
which have been with the committee
for weeks?
We understand the Russell bill is as
full of holes as a strainer, and is next
to nothing from lack of force; that
it is simply farce and the mem Der
from Chittenden county came here
pledged to enact it. Money we have
expended will be lost. Money to be
expended under the proposed bill may
prove to be premium for diseased
cattle and there will be more disease
instead OF less
We earnestly protest against a sort
of general conclusion, that commit
tees reporting favorably on bill are
absolutely correct in their decisions.
1t has repeatedly been shown during
the present session that they are some
times very much mistaken. Again
we protest that 1T is a great mistake
for member to pledge his vote or in
matter at issue Why not wait till
you know all about it that is posi- BILE
- this is often only too little--and
then act and vote intelligently?
We do not believe the people OF
Vermont want snap Judgment, or
that they will endorse ways that are
dark or tricks that are vain"

MANAGER FITZHUGH ACTS.

General Manager Fitzhugh of the
Central Vermont railroad has taken in
hand the matter of improving the SER
vice at the local station and between
this city and Montpelier Junction and
in consequence the hearing before the
board of railroad commissioners, sched-
uled for ten O'Clock Tuesday, was
Indefinitely postponed. Mr.. Fitzhngh
was in the city that day and through
G. II. Writer'S, attorney for the road,
stated to the commission what action
had been taken in the matter and re-
quested Lostponement of the hear
ing.
The request was accompanied by a
letter from Mr.. Fitzhugh, addressed
to Superintendent Soule in which he
quotes the following complaint from
Montpelier citizens:
1.-THE trains are allowed to stand at
the station for long periods extending
over and across Taylor street, thereby
impeding travel.
THAT trains are stopped i'll such a
manner that the loading of baggage
interferes with the passengers in pass
ing from the station to the cars.
THAT passengers on outgoing trains
are required to change cars before ar
irving at Montpelier Junction, thus
allowing one or more cars to be cut
Off, instead of taking the passengers to
the platform at said Montpelier juno
tion and doing the switching after
wards.
The letter calls attention to pre-
vious order correcting these condi-
tions, and refers to the fact that bag
gage cars are frequently placed be-
tween coaches in the train, and that
Notwithstanding an extra coach was
sent to Montpelier to accommodate
the people when business was heavy.
the trainmen have frequently failed to
take the Car into the train and pas
sengers have been obliged to stand in
the aisles.
The new order requires that all west
bound baggage must be loaded at west
end of platform and that Taylor street
must not be INSTRUCTED.
By an error a portion of the report
of the changes at the Central YER
mont depot was omitted from Tues
days story of the affair By Manager
Fitzhugh's new order trains must not
obstruct the Taylor crossing unless
there are additional or extra cars. and
then not more than five minutes at a
time. Conductors are to discontinue
requirirg passengers to transfer be-
tween Montpelier and the Junction,
and the trains must be taken to the
platform at the latter station and pas
sengers given time to transfer there.
The order requires that the conduc-
tors on the branches and the baggage
master at Montpelier be relieved from
duty for failure to comply with former
instructions.
The order went into effect Wednes-
day morning and as result, Conduc-
tors William Hoy and Stephen Colby
are off duty, and their places are
filled by Henry Dunbar and Austin
Emery, two main line conductors from
st. Albaus. Baggage Master Hayden
is also off duty
Brakeman Hance of the Branch is
substituting as baggagemaster at the
Central station today. The party from
Waterbury, who acted in that capacity
on Wednesday, decided that there was
too much in the line of work and one
day was enough for him. 1t is ex-
pected that regular man will be
assigned for duty 500

CRIPPLED CHILDREN.

From all parts of Greater New York
and from Jersey City and suburban
towns, crippled children were carried
in the arms of their parents or hobbled
on crutches to the Cornell Medical
College clinic in New York on Mon

DIR. Newton M. Shaffer, professor Of
orthopoe die surgery, who is selecting
patients with congenital hip disloca-
ton to be operated ON by Prof. Adolph
Lorenz, the great specialist on hip
disease from the University of Vienna.
DR.. Shaffer had three assistants help
ing him, and it was estimated that
during the day they examined nearly
500Ncrippled children.

REMEDY FOR BAD BREATH.
May he Easily Done
Away With,

How many there are who do not
seem to realize the unpleasantness a
bad breath causes others. l know of
no other thing so greatly neglected as
the cause of a bad breath, says writer
in the Housekeeper.
Perhaps it is through ignorance or
thoughtlessness, but it does seem that
at this age of the world it should not
be SO. Were we to take proper care of
our teeth and see that our digestion is
carried on Us it should be, it would
save great deal of ill health, as well
as make it pleasanter for our friends.
Twas once at Thanksgiving dinner
party and was seated between two of
the most honored guests of the day.
I esteemed both of them very highly,
but the nauseating odor which greeted
me on both sides was enough to sicken
anyone who was at their best and
strongest. I thought I should faint
before grace was half through, and
would have been more thankful if |
could have vanished and not been
missed than have ever been before or
since.
l resolved then and there to keen.
If in my power to do so, a sweet breath.
1t often can be avoided if one uses
little care to keep clean teeth and
by having decayed teeth filled. Should
the trouble arise from Indigestion, u
cup of as hot water-as hot as can
be dranls-after each meal will often
remedy that. We cannot afford to
neglect these very important matters.

"Dos and Don,t.."

Who has not sympathized with the
poor child-generally an only child
whose parents cannot let him alone.
but must be continually telling him
to do this, and not to do that, and
to be careful about doing the other?
And who has not wondered if there
was anything the child was ever al
lowed to do, or not to do, in peace?
This form of persecution is, for the
most part, u pernicious habit, for
when these commands and restric-
tions are analysed it will be found
that large proportion of them are
wholly unnecessary, and in one way
or another work actual harm to the
child. If parents who have fallen
into this habit would stop before
they speak, and seriously ask them
selves if they are not about to in
terfere needlessly with the freedom
and happiness of the child, it is safe
to say that many n "do" and don't
would remain unspoken. - Elizabeth

FEMININE FINERY.
l-s Among the Followers Of
the FashiOns,

Dainty odd waists, by the way, are
to be much worn with skirts of white
yelling and albatross as well as pique
or duck.
Collarettes, fchus and berthas are
features of practically all the smart
est designs i'll spring bodices and
coats, says a fashion authority.
The surplice opera cloak is Pa
risian innovation and combines classic
grace with utility in a useful and gen.
orally becoming garment.
Deep, round collars of lace and en-
broidery represent another fashion
that will be carried along into the COM
ing season. Some prettwexamples of
such collars are made of alternate
rows of panne and lace embroidery,
finished with an edge Of lace points.
1t is, undeniable that stole ends,
whether attached to a ''mantelet" or
not, are becoming more and more
fashionable, and when made of very
light and diaphanous material the
stole merges into what our grand
mothers called an "echarpe" or scarf.
Some of the daintiest opera bags are
made of Dresden figured taffeta out
lined with spangles or beads. Other
styles are of peau de sole embellishctl
with embroidery of beads.
For general wear next season mohair
or mohair brilliantine will be greatly
favored. Black, blue, gray and brown
will be equally fashionable colors.
The black jacket with facings of white
mohair will be greatly used for it's SIM
plicity, while those made with silk OF
MORE revers will be more elaborate,
having trimming of gold or silver
braid at the edre
