Famous Scientist Dead.

The death of Virchow, following
the deaths of Pasteur, Helmholtz and
Darwin, seems to leave the world
without men of science as great as
those it has lost. Great Britain, in
the establishment os its new order of
merit, has selected Lord Kelvin, Lord
Lister, Lord Rayleigh and Sir William
Higgins as the four students of sci
ence to be honored. In addition to
Mr.. Herbert Spencer, whose claims
for recognition are somewhat diff
ferent, Sir Joseph Hooker and Sir
William Stokes may be placed in this
group. When, on the occasion of
Virchow's eightieth birthday last
year, Lord Lister brought greetings
from Great Britain, he was the only
man whose work could be placed be-
side Virchow's; but while his method
of antiseptic treatment in surgery had
been one of the greatest advances in
medicine, it is in some respects an
insulated discovery, and can scarcely
claim equality with the immense
work accomplished by Virchow and
Pasteur. Lord Kelvin is the only
living physicist who might be ranked
with Helmholtz. Darwin has no peer.

Preservation of Old Missions.

The Daughters of the Republic of
Texas, an organization having
branches in the Lone Star State, have
set for themselves special task in
which they hope to enlist the cooper
alton of all the public spirited wo men
of the state. This task is the preser-
walton of the old missions of Texas,
which are fast falling into ruin.
The San Antonio chapter is one of
the most active branches of the orga n
ization. There are five missions in
the vicinity of San Antonio, o ne of
which, the San Jose, dates from 1890
and is considered the most beautifu
on the continent.

Rev. Sam Small.

Rev. Sam Small, for many years an
eloquent evangelist and an able writer
and speaker on public questions, re-
Gently yielded to temptation and
became intoxicated. He is not the
only one who has made that mistake,
but the fact that he had for years been
a teetotaler and had won distinction
as a minister of the gospel, has made
him the target for cruel jests and the
victim of malicious criticism. It is
sad commentary on human nature
that those who themselves make no
effort to set good example are often
prone to exult over the fall of one who
is striving to follow high ideal. For
two decades Mr.. Small led an exem-
plary life and rendered valuable
service to his fellows and this service
remains to his credit; if in an un-
guarded moment he has been over
mastered by an appetite once strong,
but long suppressed, let us be thankful
for the good ne has done, charitable
toward his recent lapse and hopeful
that he may yet have long career OF
usefulness before him. If none but
the innocent were in the habit of cast
| ing stones at the accused it would be
easier for the guilty to hear and heed
| the admonition, s'Go sin no more. u

100000 for Philippine Exhibit at
Worlds Fair.

DIR. Gustave Niederlein sailed Sept.
10th for the Philippine Islands to begin
the great work of collecting the Phil
ippine exhibit for the Worlds Fair at
st. Louis in 1904 Gov. Taft of the
Philippines has appointed him as
special commissioner of the PHILIPPINE
government for the preparation of an
elaborate exhibit. An appropriation
of 5000, 900 is available for the Phil
ippine exhibit, the money coming out
of the insular treasury. DR.. Nieder-
line has for some time been associated
with the Philadelphia Commercial
museum. He visited st. Louis few
days ago to consult with Worlds Fair
officials in preparation for his oriental
trip. Since the close Of the exposi
ton at Paris, DIR. Niederlein has been
busy classifying and describing the
products of the French colonies ex-
hibited in 81 different buildings at
that exposition and dividing them be-
tween the Colonial museum to be es
tablished at Paris and the Commercial
museum at Philadelphia. The French
colonial Office has offered to send him
on an extensive tour through all the
french colonies to make great col
lection for next years exposition at
Hanoi, with the view to the transfer
of this collection to st. Louis, and it's

BRADSTREET'S VERMONT TRADE
REPORT.


There are no material changes to
report in the business situation in
Vermont: the manufacturing es-
Establishments are as a rule we'll en-
ployed al d nothing particularly un-
favorable is heard from any manu-
featuring center. The volume of re-
tail trade is reported satisfactory and
collections fair. The season is now
we'll enough advanced to report on
the agricultural situation, taken as
whole it is considered that the crops
will fall considerably below the aver
age, but prices are firm and the sit
uation is improved when the pros
porous condition of the creameries
and the large crop of maple sugar are
taken into consideration. The labor
situation is practically unchanged
from last week. There is great scar
city of hard coal, the supply having
been practically exhausted. A large
portion of the coal used in the nor
thern part of the state ra-fei
through the hands Of the Burlington
dealers who are entitled to praise for
not being disposed to advance the
price. Business in the mills in Bur-
lington is good, lumber interests are
fairly active and the manufacturing
plants in the city are busy. The
wholesale dealers in staple goods find
the demand good and collections fair
while the retail business is reasonably
satisfactory. Montpelier reports
business in both manufacturing and
retail lines moderately good with re-
tail trade of average volume. In
Barre the stone sheds are busy, col
lections fair and the retail trade is
also in a healthy condition. Bust
ness is satisfactory at Wells River
and no change is reported there. st.
Johnsbury reports considerable ac-
tivity in the manufacturing line: the
scale works are increasing their ca
pacity and are busy while other con-
Germs are doing we'll. The stone shed
in Hardwick is busy and general bust
ness conditions satisfactory. New
port reports manufacturing concerns
doing the usual amount of business,
retail trade and collections good but
agricultural crops below the average.
Island Pond reports manufacturing
intaroata wall emnloved and retai1
trade fair. The increase of freight on
the railroad is requiring considerable
additional help. The manufacturing
concerns in Bennington are reported
as generally busy, retail trade good.
Business is fairly good in all lines at
ST. Adams. Reports are favorable at
Bellows Falls, retail trade is active
but collections said little slow.

"BLUFFING" AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR
ABILITY.

During the Civil War, certain man
ufacturers who tried to get rich out
of the misfortunes of the country,
and at the expense of soldiers who
were fighting their battles for thirteen
dollars month, made sh oddly clothing
that looked all right when new, but
which, when the poor soldiers were
lying in the wet trenches, CT tramping
through the rain and snow, fell to
pieces. 1t had no wearing quality.
The rain and wet unmasked the shod-
dy. Shoe manufacturers put paper or
pasteboard soles and poor leather
into shoes for the soldiers. The shoes
looked all right when they were new
and dry, but few days of rain and
mud ruined them, and the poor sol
diers suffered pain, exposure, and dis
ease through the fraud.
A counterfeit coin may pass for
genuine for some time, until some OBJ
serving person detects the cheat, or
the dull, leaden uhud betrays the lie;
then the condemned coins career is
ended, and the unfortunate holder suf
fers loss.
Shoddy character and counterfeit
worth can impose on the world for a
time. People have found this out.
Many young men, to- day, are trying
to make "bluff" do their work, and
accomplish the results of hon
est training and solid education.
Strangely enough, they sometimes
seem to succeed in keeping up the
deception for years. So long as their
boasts are not questioned, 80 long as
they can load the work or the respon-
sibility upon more competent shout
ders, they impose on the world, and
are apt to get higher regulations and
larger salaries than more worthy and
more modest men. But bad work
will not always be accepted, cheap
expedients will not always avail,
props and crutches will not always be
at hand, and mere Boosting will not
always be accepted as ability. Some
day, in the midst of panic or an
emergency the pretender is found
out, and shame and disaster are his
only portion. All his undeserved tri-
umphs are forgotten. Scoffers cry
that they thought all the time he did
not know SO much as he said he did.
The lion skin is stripped off and the
stupid donkey is laughingstock.
Great occasions, which, like light
ming flashes reveal unsupported
heroes, just as surely reveal the un-
worthy, the buffers, the sham work
ers. Luck that makes the fortune or
the reputation of the man who is pre-
| pared in character and knowledge for
emergencies is only bad luck for the
shoddy character and the unframed
workman.-Success.

Worlds Fair News Notes.
The camping grounds for civic and
military organizations at the Worlds
Fair have been laid out to aecommo-
date ten to twelve thousand men.
AL! lagoons and watering work for
the Worlds Fair is to be completed
this fall. Macadam roads are being
built throughout the grounds so that
bad weather shall not delay work.
Construction of the Government
building at the Worlds Fair will begin
in few days, the supervising archi-
tect of the treasury department., James
Knox Taylor, having visited st. Louis
a few days ago to advance the work
of preparation. The building will be
200 Ivy 800 feet, carrying a great dome
and having a row of massive columns
in front.
Col. John A Ockerson, chief of the
department of Liberal Arts, attended
the semi-centennial meeting of the
American Pharmaceutical Association
at Philadelphia. The pharmaceutical
display will form an important sec
ton of Col. Ockerson's great depart
mant which will occupy building
covering nine acres.
A space 500 by 700 feet has been
allotted to the French Government for
it's building. The building is to be a
reproduction of the famous and
beautiful Petit Trianon at Versailles.
The Argentine Republic will pre-
sent an elaborate fine arts exhibit at

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by

by an inlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When this tn be
gets in aamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; niue cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous sur
