The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-08-27

After full examination of the
arguments by which it is attempted to
be maintained that statutes made de-
pendent upon such contingencies are
not valid laws, and good deal OF
study and reflection, | must declare
that | am fully convinced-although
at first, without much examination,
somewhat inclined to the same opin,
ion-that the opinion is the result OF
false analogies, and so founded upon
a latent fallacy. 1t seems to me that

as stated by the Argus Possibly, as
the Argus suggests, if there had been
no vote at all the law might have been
held to have taken effect when it did,

court for it's decision, so that what
the Supreme Court might have decld-

much matter of conjecture as any

a proviso that it should be submitted

voted "No" its operation should be
suspended until December, 1893. The
law was passed and submitted to a

II Cured Her and viii Cur. You. Try

II Cured Her and win Cure You. Try II.
Some years ago a lady, who
tells the story herself, went to
consult a famous physician about
her health. She was a woman of
nervous temperament, whose
troubles-and she had many
had worried and excited her to
such a pitch that the strain
threatened her physical strength
and even her reason. She gave
the doctor a list of her symptoms
and answered his questions only
to be astonished at his brief pre-
scription at the end: "Madam,
what you need is to read your
Bible more"
"But, doctor" began the be-
wildered patient.
$50 home and read your Bible
an hour day." the great man
reiterated, with kindly authori-
ty. "Then come back to me a
month from today" And he
bowed her out without a possibil-
ity Of further protest.
At first his patient was inclin-
ed to be angry. Then she reflect
ed that at least the prescription
was not an expensive one. Be-
sides, it certainly had been a long
time since she had read the Bible
regularly, she reflected, with a
pang of conscience. Worldly
cares had crowded out prayer and
Bible study fer years, and, though
she would have resented being
called an lrreligious woman, she
had undoubtedly become a most
careless Christian. She went
home and set herself conscienti-
ously to try the physicians rem
edy.
In one month she went back to
his office. "Well," he said, smil-
ing as he looked at her face. 81
see you are an obedient patient
and have taken my prescription
faithfully. Do You feel as if you
needed any other medicine now?"
''No, dsctor, l DON'T" she said
honestly. ~ feel like a differ
ent person--I hope l am a differ
ent person. But how did you
know that was just what / need
ed?"
For answer the famous physi-
clan turned to his desk. There,
worn and marked, lay an open
Bible.
"Madam," he said, with deep
earnestness, "if / were to omit
my daily reading of this book l
should lose my greatest source of
strength and skill. l never go
to an operation without reading
my Bible. never attend a dis
tressing case without finding help
in its pages. Your case called
not for medicine, but for sources
of peace and strength outside
pour own mind, and / showed
you my own prescription, and 1
knew it would cure"
"Yet l confess, DOCTOR" said
his patient, "that 1 came very
near not taking it,"
"Very few are willing to try
it, I find," said the physician,
smiling again. "But there are
many, many cases in my practice
where it would work wonders if
they only would take it."
This is a true story. The doc
tor died only a little while ago,
but his prescription remains. 1t
will do no one any harm to try
it.-Philadelphia Ledger.

The ART ENTERTAINMENT
Was Thing Of Beauty and One Of the
Most Artistic Entertainments Ever
Produced in Darlington.
THE AUDIENCE CHARMED
AND DELIGHTED.

way CDTOuRn Cne CUner Dlu6 OF
the midnight sky beginning with
a brilliant glare and going down
in blaze of glory, was the Art
entertainment given at Temple
Theatre last Thursday night un-
der the management of Mrs. Paul
Moore. For artistic beauty and
a wealth of loveliness it has
never been surpassed on the
boards of this theatre.
The flower drill by sixteen
of Earlington's fairest daughters
was as beautiful as a poets dream
and as these graceful figures went
through the different changes of
the drill we fully realized the
idea poets intended to convey
when they spoke of the poetry of
motion. The costuming was of
Grecian style and when this bevy
of loveliness filed on the stage
clad in white with a wreath of
roses on each classic head and
garlands of the same twined
about each shapely form, it was
thrilling spectacle never-to-be-
forgotten. One could almost hear
the nymphs singing and the water
trickling from the silver foun-
tains in the groves of ancient
Greece.
After the flower drill came
several tableaux. "Joan of Arc"
was first, and as the curtain rose
revealing the beautiful victim
with pale face and flowing locks
bound to the martyrs stake she
was greeted with thunderous ap-
plause, as was Reconciliation, ("
Listening" and the "Death of
Virginia" Then came the Gre
clan Art Drill, participated in
by the same girls who were in
the flower drill; their costuming
was varied by wearing bands of
ribbon on the head and the alb
sence of the wreaths and gar
lands. This drill was a thing of
beauty and will long be remem-
bered by those who were fortu-
nate enough to see it. The
''Sculptor's Dream" was well ex-
ecuted and well received. "Sun-
rise, Noon, Sunset and Night"
were next produced and the au-
dience was moro than charmed
with the living picture in the
frame. "The Angel of Peace,
Death and Resurrection was
then presented and as the strong
light of varigated hues fell upon
the upturned face of the fair be-
ing In the frame she seemed far
more divine than human. EAU
tumn Painting the Leaves" made
a pleasing picture and was favor
ably commented on.
The Gibson Pictures came in
for their share of applause which
was well deserved, especially
"The Receipt for Kisses" There
was not one in the audience but
felt a desire to press the soft
cheek of the little child who
played the part of Cupid.
The Moving pictures added a
charming feature to the evening
and were enjoyed by all present.
The Good Night Drill was the
cutest and sweetest thing imag-
Unable and words are inadequate
to describe the sensation pro-
duced as the little white-robed
figures with their night caps,
candles, and dollies came on the
stage. This drill was gone
through without an error and it
is wonderful how they can be

regularity of step. 1t evidently

this entertainment to perfection

DOWN IN THE MINES.

damaging and dangerous to the
organi !ation we can't believe
them so foolhardy.
The Barnsley mines we under
stand are making some fne rec
ords. In fact leading all other
mines of the county.
One saloon keeper, of Maids
onville we heard boast of the
fact of having received from the
miners in exchange for liquor
$50 worth of sugar and coffee
in one month. When we take
in consideration the fact that
there is fen saloons there, all of
whom command patronage, we
can readily see where a large
amount of the earnings of the
miners goes to. $4,000 yearly
would perhaps be fair estimate
to place the amount at that is
squandered on intoxicants.
Although not on as large scale
as was at first intended, Robards,
KY, is to have a coal mine open
ed up in the near future. Mr..
L. Cottingham lately having pur-
chased land for that purpose
will soon develope same.
Ex-Mayor Thompson, of Hen
derson, and others are now in
the vicinety of Beach Grove,
boring for oil and rumor says
that oil experts say they have
bright prospects ahead for strik-
ing paying wells.
To try and bolster up lost
cause, false reports about the
situation in this county are now
being sent from other states.
One last week from an IndanapO-
lis correspondent said there was
5000 miners ON a strike in this
county and that the operators
we're unable to operate their
mines. When the truth is, not
an hours time has been lost by
the operators during the past
year On account of scarcity of
labor, but instead could have
secured one hundred men to
every one who has joined the
gang.
A small vein of Camel coal
will soon be developed by COM
pany lately organized at West
Liberty, KY.
The u. M. W. Journals like to
circulate any reports that has
the appearance Of strengthning
their cause whether founded
upon facts or not. Last week
one appeared stating that the
"scabs'' was leaving the Empire
mines fast, and that only one
white man remained. Another
false report given circulation a
few days ago, was that the En-
pire mines was forced to close
down for lack of miners. When
the truth is Supt. Rutland finds
the supply of miners always
equal to the demand.
In West Virginia the U. M.
W., will soon make an effort to
call out thousands of miners now
at work contented and happy
because the operators nearly, to
man refuse to recognize the
union, but they should bear in
mind what failures they have
made in this county by their
frequent calls, which was not
obeyed by the miners and they
may find that the w. Va,
miners considers himself able to
think and act for himself as the
Kentucky miners does.
The coal operators along the
entire line of the Henderson
Division regret to learn, and
hope it will yet prove untrue
that the l.. & N. r. r. Co., have
passed out of the hands of the
old stockholders into that of new
ones. The best of feelings has
existed between operators and
Railroad Co., at all times. and
