at the meeting of the Saturday after
noon club at Christ church parish
house. One new number was taken
up for rehearsal and in this good
progress was made. ,
During the social hour lsses Laura
Rugg and Elizabeth Packer played a
duet for two pianos by Charminade.
A pleasing feature was the song "Oh
that we two were Maying," Nevin,
by Mrs. Alfred H. Temple. Mrs.
Temple also sang my little love-" by
Hawley., in a hammer that brought
forth loud applause. Misses Stella
Crandall and Elizabeth Packer also
sang a vocal duet, a double mum

FRUITS MEET FOR REPENT
ANCE.

The News knows nothing and cares
less about ancient history on this sub
ject. Will not our good neighbor turn
it's face to the morning and tell its
readers what it thinks of the advis-
ability of re-electing one Senator from
Washington county bi-ennially and
thus have an experienced man in the
delegation at every legislative session?
Mortified News.
The face of the Waterman and Jour
nal, under the existing ediforship,
hath ever been turned toward the
light. The editor opposed the re-
scinding, in 1890, of the wholesome
rule which long had given to Wash
ington county, in legislative sessions,
one Senator of experience. This pa
per has commended strenuously for
methods that would not biennially
people the House of Representatives
with a membership to whom law
making was practically a new bust
ness but the rule of rotation, the law
of ones turn, has prevailed, and
apparently will continue to the end of
time unless a heavy charge of politi-
cal dynamite is exploded under the
Constitution and the absurd and un-
profitable customs that have grown up
under it, and skaters them both to
atoms. The rebuilding might be along
lines that would insure rational laws
and customs and something of that
degree of efficiency that obtains in
well managed business affairs.
The Waterman and Journal thinks
now, as it has ever commended, that
Washington county-and every other
county-should re-elect at least IL of
it's Senators in order to have in it's
delegation a mar of experience at
every legislative session. The demo-
lition of this wise custom locally be-
gan at Mortified and it is gratifying
to report that the first advocate for
the rebuilding halls from the same
town. The bringing, thus early, of
fruits meet for repentance is a re-
assuring sign. The Waterman and
Journal holds up both hands for the
News proposition.

COSTLY HONORS DESERVE
GOOD PAY.

1t is, without doubt, a great and
well deserved honor which has been
done Captain Clark in choosing him
to represent the United States at
such a function as this. 1t would be
a rather small business, however, to
compel him to meet the extraordinary
expenses which will devolve upon him
by reason of this honor, out of his
own pay. If there are no special
funds at the disposal of the state de-
partment for this purpose, it is GER
tainly incumbent on Congress to make
suitable provision that the ENJOYS of
the United States may make a proper
and dignified appearance, without Sc
rious pecuniary loss to themselves.
1t is time that this precedent should
be set in order that the necessity may
be avoided in the future of having to
select as the honorary representative
of the United States men of large and
independent fortunes, able to meet the
extraordinary expenses of such posi-
ton out of their own private means.
When Congress refuses to make proper
provision for such purposes, it has the
effect of barring from the honors all
save m~illionaires. Seattle P%ost-Intel-
ligencer.
Unquestionably Congress will make
provision for Capt. Clark's expenses
in the performance of the mission for
which the President has selected him.
If Congress does not, Capt, Clark ought
to ask to be relieved of the duty which
has been assigned him, He has al
ready incurred "serious pecuniary
loss'' in obeying the commands of his
government. When he was put in COM
mand of the Oregon in the spring of
1898, and transferred from the Pacific
coast to the Atlantic, the change re-
suited in a great increment of glory
but in a material abatement of finan-
cial resources. And since the fame he
achieved in the service of his country
his personal expenses must necessarily
have greatly increased. The appoint
ment to London, without the rank and
pay already the Captains due, is like
rewarding with soda water an empty
man who has earned a square meal of
beef and potatoes.

Mrs. Mullen, an aged lady, died at
W Smalley's last week. Funeral SER
vices were held Sunday afternoon.
The series of meetings which have
been conducted by our pastor closed
on Tuesday evening. The attendance
was not as large as was expected.
The Sunday school had a pink tea
and social at the hall last Wednesday
evening. The children did we'll and
had a good time. The small attend
ance that evening and at the meeting
was largely due to the icy condition
of the roads, making walking difficult
and dangerous.
A very pleasant entertainment was
given at the church last Thursday
evening by three young ladies. Miss
Elisabeth Lewis, soprano, Miss In
genue Fassett, violinist and Miss Ma
bel Ramsey, reader. The parts were
all well rendered, and were enjoyed
by the audience.

What does an operation for the re-
moval of a vermiform appendix
amount to, anyway? You go to sleep
quietly and pleasantly, and by and by
you wake up. Then you inquire if
the thing is done and you find that it
is. You feel no pain and you have
felt no pain-not even discomfort,
That is Max O'Rell's description of
his recent hospital experience, and it
probably tallies with most Of similar
operations under the blessed auspices
of modern surgery. Herald, Boston.

IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Feb. Am extended
speech on the pending Philippine tar
if bill was delivered in the Senate
on Friday by Mr.. Morgan of Ala
bama, who devoted particular atten-
ton to an amendment he offered to
the bill last week. He maintained
that the enactment of the bill as it
now stands would not be "a const'tu-
tional remedy for the situation the
measure is designed to relieve, but
said with the addition of his amend
ment the bill would stand the closest
scrutiny of the courts. An hour and
a half was devoted to consideration of
a bill to increase the salaries of Judges
of the United States courts but no ac-
ton was taken. The first action of the
Senate was the adoption of Mr.. Raw
Inns resolution, providing for a gen
eral inquiry by the committee on In
dian affairs into the matter of leas-
ing mineral lands by Indians.
The House adopted a resolution to
make the oleomrgarine bill "a special
order for Monday next to continue
until disposed.
Mr.. Richardson of Tennessee, the
minority leader, saw no reason why
this piece of legislation should be
picked out and given priority over
other bills.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, declared
himself uncompromisingly opposed to
the proposed legislation and all kin
dred legislation. He believed at the
roo of it lay a menace to the liberties
of the country, that under its operating
the strong could crush the weak.
Nevertheless, as there was a public
demand for the consideration of the
bill he believed the House should have
an opportunity to pass on it. The
special order was adopted 1872 to II.

THE ICE HARVEST.

George w. Parmenter, of the Mont
pelier Ice Company, who has been in
charge of a force of men, sometimes
t%hirty-five in number, cutting ice
since January 3, expects to complete
the work on Thursday. About three
weeks of the time has been consumed
in cutting ice and filling the ice
houses of outside concerns, but he ex-
pected to complete filling the COM
pany's houses today.
Some idea of the amount of ice used
in the city can be gained from the fol-
lowing list
The company will pack 4, 200 tons
this year, which is 1000 tons more
than usual Montpelier Beef Company,
1876 tons; William Miller, $50 tons
Batchelder Creamery, 100 tons Mont
pelier Creamery, 100 tons Montpelier
and Wells River Railroad, 200 tons.
These are among the heaviest con-
sumers furnished with ice by the
company, while there are many more
having houses holding smaller quaint
ties and which would raise the
amount to over 5, 900 tons.
There is more waste in ice than one
would imagine. The top and side
layers are constantly melting, and
this waste added to that caused in ped
ding it about the city is such that
Mr.. Parmenter said if at the close of
the season the company could show
on its books the sale of fifty per cent
of the amount put up, it felt it had
done we'll.
The ice season this winter has been
more favorable than usual, the wealth
er having been more uniform. The
second crop of ice was much superior
to the first in which much anchor ice
was present because of the ice going
out of the stream the first part of the
winter.

FELIX ROWE DEAD.

Felix Rowe, aged about seventy
years, died Saturday at the home of
William A. Kelley, at 2S Elm street,
where he had boarded for the past ff-
teen years. Mr.. Rowe had been in
feeble health for the past year, kidney
trouble being the final cause of death.
He had been a resident of this city
for about twenty-five years, and was
unmarried, his nearest relative being
Joseph Rowe, a brother, who resides
in Pitkin Court. Deceased was a mod
est, %unassuming man, but one who
was universally esteemed for his in
dustry and integrity. He was in fact,
a humble "hewer of wood and drawer
of water, " but is entitled to fame for
the thoroughness with which he per-
formed his work. The funeral was
held from st. Augustine's church on
Monday morning, with burial in the
Catholic cemetery.
