right, the courage that will refuse to yield
either on the one hand to any temptation
either to the Illusions and weaknesses of
those who use wealth wrongly, or on the
other hand to the none the less base envy
and hatred of those who because they are
not well off, feel anger and malice and
rancor toward those who are. You must
have courage as well as honesty, and then
in addition to that you have got to have
another quality without which the others
lose their SAVIOR. do not care how
honest man is and how brave a man is
if he is born fool you can do nothing for

FASTEST BOAT EVER BUILT.

New York, Sent. S.-The Arrow

eminent measured kDot, ON the Hud-
son River, off Irvington, at 3 O'Clock
in the afternoon on Saturday. The
course lies near the eastern shore of
the river, the finish line being OPP
posite the country home of Miss Helen
Gould
The Arrow is composite twin
screw vessel, 13l feet long on the water
lire and l3l feet and four inches over
all. Her beam is H. 6 feet, her depth
of hold 8 feet, and her draught t. 8
feet. She was built last year by Sam
uel Ayrcs of Nyack, n. y, who had
explicit Instructions from Mr. Flint
too construct the fastest vessel afioat
The speed shown by the Arrow
over the knot on the Hudson yester-
day, if maintained for an hour would
place her as a locomotive nearly in
the class of the fastest of land loco
motives 1t is interesting TO COW

TITLED CYPRIANS. -

1t is safe to say that Henry Waiter
son, editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, has started a controversy
that will distance all other subjects
of general interest in Kentucky not
barring politics or horses.
The "smart set, p" or what is popu
larly termed the 400" is made the
subject of a scathing article by Mr..
Watterson, and by the time his South
ern journalistic brethren get through
discussing the Courier-J Journals ideas
upon "sassiety" doubtless many sec
rets will be divulged
Evidently believing in the complete
abandon of the the "smart set" Mr..
Watterson says some things that can
hardly be termed sarcastic. They
may be true but the writer has dealt
with his topic in manner that has
been considerably franker than is the
habit of northern newspapers. Re-
specting the 400" he says:
"The women of this smart set no
longer pretend to recognize virtue
even as a feminine accomplishment.
Innocence is a badge of delinquency,
a sign of the crude and raw, a de-
formity, which, if tolerated at all,
must carry some promise of amend
ment, for among these titled cyprians
the only thing needful is to know it
all, They make life one amending
debauch. The 400 are rotten
through and through They have
not one redeeming feature. -
Such terms as "titled cyprians'
leave no doubt in the minds of his
readers as to Mr.. Watterson's opinion
of the "smart set. -

BALDWIN TELLS WHY.

London, Sept s. -Evelyn b. Bald
win the Arctic explorer telegraphs
from Tromsoe, Norway an explanation
of the causes of his failure to reach
the pole. He says:
The public has been deceived by
false reports regarding the expedition.
Nearly every member has been faith
full and my comrades must have due
credit for their work in establishing
large depots at Camp Ziegler during
March, April and May. Sometimes
they had to traverse the Same route
10 times. Fifty sleighs were destroy
ed in this work. Open sea near the
depot at Teplitz bay prevented us
from reaching the Duke of Abruzzi's
headquarters, and poor ice conditions
in 1901 prevented us from establish
ing depots north of 80 degrees % min
utes. In this connection the death of
half our dogs necessitated the post
poning of going to the pole. Nothing
favored returning via Greenland.
l believe the record of being farthest
north could have been broken, but it
would have exhausted our supplies
and destroyed the hope of finally reach
ing the pole.
Sailing Master Johannsson' demands
to become the Americans captain
were untenable and unbearable. His
threat Dec. l5 to take possession of
the ship, as captain, and deal with
the crew in accordance with his own
will might have spoiled the expedi-
TONS plan if enforced The ice
pilot, as we'll as the first mate, who
had long experience in polar ice, were
entitled to recognition.
Johannsson's refusal to obey the ice
pilots orders, and his declared I'M
willingness to take the advice of my
representatives on the sleigh expedi-
ton, together with other we'll found
ed reasons stated to the American con-
sui, now here, caused his discharge
and the promotion of three of his
countrymen, who all followed me in
the sleigh expedition and obeyed with
pleasure the orders given by myself,
my representatives and thesice pilot.

FIRMINIST GUNBOAT SUNK.

Cape Haytien, Hayti, Sept. S.-The
gunboat Crete-a- Pierrot, which was
in the service of the Firminist party,
has been sunk at the entrance of the
harbor of Gonaives by the German
gunboat Panther
The German gunboat Panther arriv-
ed in Port au Prince on September 5,
and received instructions to capture
the Firminist gunboat, Crete-a-
Pierrot. She left Immediately for
Gonaives, the last of Firminist gov
eminent. The boat was found in the
harbor of Gonaives, Admiral Killeck
of the Crete Pierrot, when informed
that lie must surrender his vessel.
asked for little time to remove his
crew. His request was granted on
condition that arms and ammunition
on board should be left behind. The
crew left the boat amid some con-
fusion. 1t was soon seen that she had
been fired by the Firminist crew be-
fore the departure, as flames broke
out almost Immediately. The panther
then fired on the Crete Peirrot and
sunk her. There is much feeling
against the Firimnists. At Port au
Prince all is quiet.

VERMONT SHEEP.

Vermont sheep breeders, and espec-
tally those of Addison county, should
feel elated over the result of the re-
cent sales of blooded Merinos at Brad
ley's Head quarantine grounds near
Sidney, Australia. The Sidney Mail,
speaking of the sale said on July s.
Most of the sheep offered were
from strains well known to Australi-
an pastoralists. On the whole the
ewes passed off better than the rams,
although the average of the latter
was well i'll advance-fact largely due
however to isolated high prices. The
highest figure was paid for the ram
Premier, grand champion in his
class at the Pan American Exhibition,
which was secured by Messrs. K.
Webb q Co., of Bathurst, for 40
guineas. Mr.. j. IS. Hersfall paid 260
guineas for the ram Vermont, and the
Jondaryan Estate, Darling Downs,
secured one for 200 guineas. The
ewes realized up to 70 guinaes.
Throughout the rams averaged about
so guineas and ewes 2819 guineas F"
Messrs. Bissell g. Peck, of East
Shoreham, Addison county, sold at
this time forty-three sheep that
brought plump sum of 81, 100, or an
average of $l8l per head, Wright,
Cartmell g. Cook, the well known
dealers of Middlebury, sold four ami
mails for $500 for the lot, while anoth-
er lot of fifteen from Addison county
averaged $275 per head. To the aver.
age sheep raiser of this State these
figures look large, and they are as
compared with what the farmer re-
ceives for an ordinary grade sheep ;
but for fancy bred Spanish Merino
or Rambouilett they are exceeding
ly moderate, as is shown by the state
ment of the writer in the above paper
in commenting upon the sale. He
says:
Generally speaking prices were
low, though in many instances bidding

Altogether too many American girls
look toward trip ON the CONT
nent as the only thing condu-
Give to romance. The average
American maid need not be statis-
tician, nor does she require glasses to
discover the fate of many society
bud who has bartered away a life
time of happiness and usefulness to
become the wife of some bankrupt
European nobleman. Left over nobil-
ity has done as much to deplete the
pocket books of American bankers
and captains of industry as has the
tape of the brokers' Office. When one
reads of the frittering away of the
Gould millions he is inclined to dis
believe the old adage that as nation
America is growing weaker and
wiser" Following the trail of
American heiresscs who enter into
such left handed matrimonial allianc-
es as has many daughter of promi-
nent Americans, there is little reason
to doubt that the bulk of America S
rich maids have not only grown
weaker but that, in many instances,
the intellect seems to be of a brand
considerably lower than their grand
mothers possessed.

President Roosevelt is moving
South, showing little effect of his re-
cent serious accident apart from bad
bruise on his right cheek. Today he is
spending with the locomotive firemen
who are gathered in annual conven-
ton at Chattanooga, Tenn. On Tuesday
he will visit Knoxville, Wednesday
he will spend at Ashaville, N. c., and
on Thursday he will be back at Oys-
ter Bay, where he will remain E5tle
over a week resting and will then go
West on his long anticipated Western
trip. Great enthusiasm greeted the
President all along the line. The
people in their desire to express their
satisfaction that he had escaped
with so little injury from his serious
accident cheered him repeatedly and
vociferously. Mr.. Roosevelt declared
that he was none the worse for his
mishap but expressed profound regret
at the fate of poor Craig" to whom
he frequently referred . The sudden
killing of his faithful attendant bad
evidently saddened him.

A great many people, after pur-

ALPHA MESSER.

The tidings of the death of Hon.
Alpha Messer, late of Rochester, was
q painful surprise to his friends and
acquaintance. Death had never been
associated with the name of this man
of robust physique and active partici
patton in the affairs of life.
Mr.. Messer died at his late home i'll
Rochester on Sunday morning, Sep
TENDER Z. He had of late suffered
severely from heart trouble. His
home was among the hills of Windsor
county, apart from the village of
Rochester, and little seems to have
come from the place of his conflict
with the last enemy respecting his
illness and the circumstances Of his
departure. He was in this city at the
time of the Republican State conven-
tion, apparently in his usual vigorous
health and an interested spectator of
the events of that time. He was
we'll known citizen of the State, TAX
ing always an active and public spirit
ed part in both its political and ma
terial affairs.
He was early connected with the
grange movement in Vermont. He
was for several years master Of the
organization in this State. Under
his administration the Order achieved
its best prosperity, and was ably, eff
cients and intelligently directed to
the realization of itsSprofessed objects.
He was for six years Lecturer of the
National Grange and carried into that
Office his well known energy and ca
pacity for administration and for pro-
noting the best welfare of the Order,
which was the best welfare of the
people at large. On retiring from this
office he had devoted himself chiefly
to his personal affairs.
Mr.. Messer had been a useful men,
Der of the board of agriculture, and
was connected with various assocIa-
tions in the State for the advance
ment of the farming interests, being
himself practical farmer, under the
conditions presented to the great body
of Vermont farmers. He made a
speciality of maple sugar production
and was an officer of the Vermont
Maple Sugar Association. He had
taste for study, habit of intelligent
observation, and a gift of writing
and speaking which made him con-
spicuous and influential member of
the Grange and Of the kindred as
sociations in which he had member
ship. He established the Patrons
Rural, paper devoted to the in
terests of the Order in Vermont. He
became Grange and argicu ltural
editor of the Rural Vermonter when
that journal began publication in 1886,
and on the merging of that paper
with the Vermont Waterman in 1888,
took the place of Grange editor on
the New England Farmer to which
he had been constant contributor.
Mr.. Messer was an honest man.
He had his opinions and had always
the courage to abide by them, and the
ability to defend them. His opinions
were apt to be good opinions, and his
convictions right convictions, and he
resolutely stood by any cause which |
enlisted his sympathy and support.
He was man who "stood without
hitching." Placed at night, he would |
be found abiding faithfully and |
steadfastly there in the morning, and
all the powers of political blandish-
ment or appeal to selfish interest
could not move him.
The State has lost sturdy yeoman,
one of the best of it's citizenship.

of keener competition for favorite
class of sheep was due to the prolong

A grand stand had been erected on the

The visit of President Roosevelt to this
city on Saturday, Aug. 30, is now mat
ter of history, but will be an event long to
be remembered by the 10000 or more
who gathered here to greet him.
AS the presidential train came from the
Junction, it was sighted, when near the
Langdon farm, by the detail of cadets from
Norwich University, stationed on the top
of Capitol Hill with two cannon. Its APP
proach was signalled to the waiting multi
tude by the firing of the Presidents salute
of twenty-one guns. Upon the arrival of
The train at the station, the perfection with
which the Committee of arrangements had
done its work was made apparent. With
in five minutes of the time the President
epped from his train the whole parade
was on the march up State street amid the
roar Of cannon and the cheers of the
thousands, Montpelier and St. Adams
Military bands furnishing the marching
music. The line of march was covered in
quick time and the President was deliver
ed over to the Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution at the State House.
The dwellings,, business places and pub
lie buildings along the line of march had
been tastefully decorated. Troop d,
Second Regiment, L. S. Cavalry, station
ed at Fort Ethan Allen, companies of
National Guard from Montpelier, Barre
and Mortified, the school batallions-.the
High School and St. Michael's-constit-
uted the military escort. The veterans of
the Grand Army of the Republic and
members of the labor unions formed part
of the procession. In the carriage with
the President were Gov. Stckney and
Mayor Boutwell,, and following were the
invited guests, Senators in Congress and
other notables, among whom were Rear

MANY RUBBERED AT ECLIPSE
Americas Took a Look at Luna's
Trouble.

The study of astronomy was a faYorite
pastime in Americas last night during
the time the moon was advertised to
do the curtain act, and several hun
dred people here sat up until 10 o'clock
to see the eclipse. This, it is said, was
visible throughout North and South
America and over the western portion
of Europe, though everyonein Amerl-
Gus seemed satisfied to view it from
this point instead of rushing over
there. The moon struck the Earth's
shadow at 1912 last night and emerged
therefrom at $50 this morning, totality
beginning about half past twelve
o'clock and lasting one hour and TWEEN
ty minutes. The first part of the show
was watched with a great deal of inter
est, but few here stayed up in the chill
ly atmosphere to see the concluding
performance at 2 o'clock this morning.
