The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1902-03-05
WARNED AGAIN.

Two years ago, admonished by the
DISASTROUS flood of Feb. II, the matter
of taking some measure to prevent or
reduce as far as possible, the annual
and sometimes twice year-inunda-
tion of the city, was strongly urged
by the Journal Mayor Senter ap-
proved the proposition and inserted i'll
the warning for the city meeting an
article to draw attention to the sub
ject. The article was hastily dis
missed.
AS if to admonish the town again,
on the eve of the annual meeting the
streams have again overtiowed their
banks and wide havoc has been the
result. On Saturday evening the mer-
chants were bringing their goods from
the easements, which were Hooded
during the night, hotel cellars were
filed, fires were out, and the steady
downpour on Sunday threatened an
other flood like that of Feb. IA 1900,
and its notable and periodic predces-
sors.
The cost even of these partial inunda.
tions to the city and the damage tc
business men is very serious mat
ter. The most frequent cause of this
spring flooding is the ice blockade OF
the Winooski at the lower end of State
street. The boulders on the bed OF
the stream and the rocks jutting from
either shore near the mouth of Dog
river hold the ice in their grasp, caus
ing the water to set back and produc
ing the flooding that is yearly the
source of anxiety, and, to a greater Oh
lesser extent, the cause of damage tt
residents and merchants.
AT small fraction of the annua
cost to the city and individuals, the
channel of the river could be cleared
of distractions, the jutting rocks blast
ed out, and the early passing of thu
ice facilitated. Nothing short of rails
ing the city bodily, as was done will
Chicago generation ago, would place
it beyond the reach of the floods whel
the water god gets on the rampage
but the evil could be in some larg,
measure mitigated. 1t certainly is
matter that every consideration o
safety and economy demands that TIN
city should at once take seriously il
hand.

THE TOMBS ANGEL.

Rebecca Salome Foster, who perish
ed in the Park Avenue hotel fire will
be remembered in New York long
time even if no monument is built in
her honor Her deeds have been such,
however, that it is more than likely
that the people will see that their
love and esteem find proper express
sion in beautiful memorial of some
sort.
Mrs. Foster had earnestly sought to
do good in a field in which only a
very high minded person could work
successfully. She was the "Tombs
angel, and spent her time in visiting
police courts and prisons and doing all
in her power to aid and comfort the
there. If Mrs. Foster found one
whom she believed could be influenced
to live rightly she did all she could
to give her another fair chance in life.
All the police court and prison Off
Gals of New York knew Mrs.. Foster
and entertained for her the sincerest
respect for her and her work. Single
handed she established home known
as "The Retreat" where women and
girls could find temporary shelter. 1t
was not her way to force religious
teaching upon those whom she sought
to aid, but rather to approach them
as a sympathizing and sincere friend.
District Attorney Jerome said of Mrs.
Foster when he heard of her death
eff there ever was woman meriting
the title of saint, it was she. ~

The precautions which are being
taken for the safety of Prince Henry
may seem needless to some persons
but it is well to bear in mind that in
a country of $1,000 200 there are nee
essarily few feather-headed persons
who are willing to do violence for the
sake of little temporary notoriety,
even at some personal risk to them
selves. Nobody supposed until the
Eruption last week that there was
such boor in Congress as Wheeler,
of Kentucky, has shown himself to be.
There are doubtless Wheelers outside
of Congress who would be glad to put
the Wheeler barbarity into concrete
form if they got chance. The safe
guards for the Prince which are being
taken are wise.

COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA.

Not only the handsomest but also
one of the most entertaining and use
full. The March number is extremely
attractive. In beauty of illustration
and felicity in selecting subjectSCoun-
try Life is unsurpassed by any publ
cation devoted to reinforcing it's
stories by descriptive art. The publ
cation is true to its name-a faithful
portraiture of country life.
The March issue is No. of Vol
ume |. 1t is not merely descriptive Of
rural life, of the scenes of "the deep
tangled Wildwood" but the utili-
tartan side of country life receives it's
proper share of treatment and these
features are unexcelled even by the
pictures of the country homes and
grounds of the wealthy dweller in
the city. A list of some of the sub
jects in the March number indicates
the scope of the publisher endeavors
to produce periodical that is not
only beautiful for it's art but also in
teresting and useful for it's attention
to practical matters. After the head
piece of pussy Willows" and scene
from the garden home of Mrs. Jack
Gardner, Brookline, Mass, each pic
ture that enlists the livliest interest,
are several pages devoted to Farm
Animals. "Who loves calf as a
child does?' is the query under a
picture of typical "bossie." In the
illustration "What child does not like
to feed the pig?' many child of
older years will recognize one of child
hoods diversions. The illustrations
which follow of rural scenes and ami
mails of the farm are faithful por =
traitures of the life the publicati ON
is designed to represent. "The Sugar
Bush, Common Sense in the Poul-
try Yard, "' How to Make Garden" +,
g A Crop of Lettuce, "Transplanting
Trees and Bushes, 1.-THE Greenhouse
in the Snow, are subjects of articles
and illustrations of the utilitarian
class. 1.-THE Passing of the Black
Tall, 1.-The Life of the Trapper, +"
"The Flight of the Osprey, interest
the sportsman. The illustrations of
the country seats of the wealthy,
their lawns and gardens, the beauty
that can be given to country life by
the practice of a cultivated taste and
the lavish expenditure of money, afford
contrasting picture to the unadorn-
ed beauty of rural scenes that to the
eye of the lover of nature is adorned
most.

CITY MEETING.

After several days of unreasonable
weather Tuesday morning dawned cold
and clustering a typical March
meeting day.. The fact that the only
contest in the annual city election in
Montpelier was over alderman for the
sixth ward and the rough weather
had tendency to keep many voters
away from the polls, and the vote
cast was comparatively light.
Promptly at nine O'Clock the meet
ing was called to order by Mayor
Brown, and the warming was read by
Clerk Merrill. The ballot clerks and
assistant clerks were sworn in, and
bailoting at once commenced.
At no time while the boxes were
open from nine to two o'clock was
there any crowd around the ballot
clerks waiting for ballots. From noon
until the boxes were closed the most
activity was manifest. During those
hours a large number of those unable
to walk were taken to the hall in
teams and hundreds of laboring men
improved the noon hour to cast their
ballot.
The ballot boxes were turned at two
o. clock but the meeting was not call
ed to order for the transaction of bust
ness until some time later.
One of the first matters brought to
the attention of the meeting was the
presentation by w. A. Lord of appro-
pirate resolutions upon the death of
James @. Houghton, which were
unanimously adopted by the voters.
The resolutions follow; where
as information has been received of
| the death of James O. Houghton of
this city this morning at Naples,

Senator Penrose, recently made q
brief statement of Republican policy
in the Philippines. 1.-The United
States will stay in the Philippine
Islands, :" said the Senator, "and will
convert them to prosperous portion
of the country. They will, presume,
be given territorial rights in time,
and resident commissioner, as Porto
Rico now has. The resources of the
islands are incalculable and when
they are developed by American CAPT
tai and American enterprise 1T is
my opinion that they will not only
be adequate to meet the current ex-
penses of the territory but will afford
it and its residents the many advan-
tages of higher civilization now en-
ioyed by the citizens of the United
States. Under the guidance Of the
Philippine commission the islands
now enjoy infinitely better education
al advantages, better courts of justice,
and, in a word, better facilities fol
the attainment of civilization thar
they ever had or would have enjoyed
under Spanish rule. With the excep
ton of few professional fighters, the
people are happy and contented and
the time is not far distant when they
will be more so. With the insured
ton ended the United States will be
in position to still further carry into
effect the benefcent intent which i
has in view, and satisfied and pros
porous people will bless this country
for their deliverance from Spanish do
minion. ~

1t is one of the misfortunes attend
ing the case of Miss Stone, that, now
she is actually released, people can
not feel that excess of thrill which
they ought to feel 1t has been the
case of Charley Ross over again.
When the news of her capture first
shocked the country everybody was
filled with horror; but the vagaries
of her reported adventures since then,
the constant stories of her release,
made only to be contradicted, the
various political dealings with the
brigands, have given sort of comic
opera effect to the affair and people
have for long time failed to take it
seriously. 1t is too bad that this
should be fact, as it certainly is.
