DISAPPOINTMENT QUESTION.
"''Se mmittee VIII Probably
Act To-nny on PostpoDement
OF Worlds Fair.

st. Louis, April 3O.-Tbe executive
committee of The Louisiana Purchas,
Exposition Co. will hold a meeting
this afternoon, and a full attendance
is expected-with the exception of
Mr.. W. II. Thompson, who is kept at
home by illness, and one or two men,
pers not now in the city. There is
every reason to believe that at the
meeting definite action will be taken
looking to postponement of tbe
World's fair to 1904. Whether the of
ficers will take the public into their
confidence to the extent Of publishing
the committees action remains vet
to be determined.
1t is Known that the subject of
postPonement has engaged the atten.
tlon OF the Worlds fair officials, and
especially of the members of the ex.
ecutive committee. Monday and ves.
terday. President Francis has given
his attention to the matter almos.
exclusively since his return from
Charleston. Before going to Charles
ton President Francis spent a day in
Washington in conference with gov.
eminent officials, and there is good
reason to believe that. as they say
in diplomatic circles, a "modus vi
vendi' was arranged for setting the
late OF the opening of the fair a wear
ahead. Since his retur he has been
getting others in line, and the matter
is expected to come to a head at to-
meeting.

There is mourning in the land these
days from rich and poor alike. because
Of the pressure of the Beef Trusts
heavy hand. The butchers all ovex the
State have run their prices up in leaps,
and they lay it to the live stock deal
ers. These, in turn, are crying aloud
that their raise Is due to the exhorbi.
tant price Of feedstuffs, provisions, etc.
And in this very cause of all the
trouble lies Its remedy. If the farmers
In Mississippi had cultivated enough
grain and hay last year to keep up
their W stock in comfort with a good
surplus for emergencies, they would
have the Beef Trust by the throat and
could now be enjoying the nourishing
and palatable diet of home raised
meats at small cost, instead Of eating
an occasional steak that is leathery
with age and is so ashamed of the price
that is put upon it that 1t seems anx-
ious TO shrivel out of sight. Fifteen
cents a pound for meat (bone and
scraps included), is a steep rate for
the average man with a family Of
healthy children, and the chances are
that vege~tarianism will become some
what Of a fad this season. And it may
be a good thing. Our people eat too
much meat and other heating foods for
this climate, and that which will cause
a change in the custom-for 1t is but
a custom-will, we believe, prove a
blessing instead of a trial. Perhaps
into the way Of living from barrels
instead Of from fresh, healthful gar
dens will of necessity take up "the
shovel and the hoe" and raise a crop
of excellent green things that the fam
lily %(including its head, of %course,)
need not go hungry. This, we know,
will be a blessing, for there are too
many Of our people who fail to see the
need and comfort of a garden. 1t is
all too common an experience among
those whose duty takes them through
the country (and comparatively the
same thing is to be found In towns
where there is space enough for kitch-
en- gardens) to sit down to meal after
meal Of canned things" put up in
some distant State and purchased by
our people ION a credit" with half a
dozen profits added to the original
cost of preserving the food. If there is
meat, 1t, too, is canned, or comes from
barrels, while condensed milk In the
coffee and even in the tea Is a frequent
part of the unappetizing bill of fare.
And all around the house lie acres and
acres Of ground either In cotton or
weeds with maybe a few scraggy peach
trees standing lonesomely about. No
COW in the stall, no hogs in the pen,
no cattle in the pasture, no vegetables
fit to eat, and as the season advances
no melons or fruits save such as they
can swap" from more thrifty neigh
srs. 1t is such places as these that
will feel the grip of the food trusts
most keenly, for they must pay the
price or starve. But the man whose
garden is now adding Its delicacies to
the family table, whose storehouse con-
tains still . few delicious home-curad

Howe's Moving Pictures Again.

Lyman H. Howe's moving picture
show, which has delighted large audi
ences at Music Hall on two previous oc-
casions, will appear Thursday evening,
February g., at the same place. AS in
the past the show comes under the
auspices of the Y. M. c. A. and the boys
of the junior department will vecharge
of the sale of tickets. So many have
seen these excellent exhibitions that COM
ment is unnecessary, except to say that
the pictures will be entirely new. For
the first time moving pictures have been
obtained of the Alps in Switzerland
showing native mountain climbers cross
ing dangerous and difficult passes. Pic,
lures will be presented showing them
scaling precipice at the dizzy height of
over 1900 feet. Also scenes where they
are ascending to the very summit of the
Wetterhorn and the Jungfrau. Other
scenes will be shown in which the audi,
ence will apparently travel with party
OF tourists in an ascent of Mt. Pilatus up
a grade OF 48 degrees. The tour is a
most extensive one and will include the
crossing of the Mer de Glace, etc. This
series of scenes has been obtained after
many daring attempts, great risk of life,
and lavish outlay of money.

Shocking Neglect.

The Vermont Humane Society can find
something to do in Cabot. A Hardwick
man who went to Cabot last Thursday
to satisfy a claim against a farmer of
that town, found, in the latter's barn, a
condition of affairs that made his blood
boil and led him to use the Kings Eng
lish in plain fashion. The barn stable
had evidently not been cleaned out for
several days; four or five head of cattle
stood there moaning for food, with the
barn about them in so tumble. down a
state that the wintry weather got
at them without hindrance; on a wall of
the barn calflay dead, and in the sta
BILE lay a horse, also dead, while an
other stood by, suffering from lack of
food and water.
The shittless, inhuman owner Of the
stock had not been near the barn for
some time, leaving the dumb creatures to
starve. 1t is almost beyond belief that
such things can be, and the man who
will thus neglect his stock deserves the
utmost penalty that the law provides.

A Feast of rIusiC.

Not since the appearance here several
years ago of the Boston Festival Orches-
ira, has St. Tohnsbury audience been
permitted the pleasure of listening to an
orchestra of such excellence, as the or
ganization that comes on Friday even
ing of this week as the leading attrac-
tion Of the Star course. We have had
the opportunity of listening to several
excellent brass bands in the past few
years, but concerts by large orchestras
of anything like national reputation
have been exceedingly rare. The Bos-
tonia Orchestra has gained for itself a
splendid reputation throughout the en-.
tire country. Flattering press comments
are received from every city where they
have appeared. 1t is certainly one of the
most successful orchestras in the United
States. Special features of the program
on Friday evening will be the Bostonia
Brass Quartette, and trombone solos by
Belle Yeaton Renfrew, who is without
doubt the finest lady trombone player in
the land.

The SOusa Concert.

For the second time within a year, St.
Johnsbury has been favored with a con.
cert by Sousa's Band. AS on former oc.
casions the visit was the result of the en-
terprise of Charles Chapman, who has a
reputation as manager ofbig attractions.
The concert was given at Howe Opera
House Thursday evening aud was at.
tended by over 800 people, great many
of whom were from out of town. 1t is
unnecessary for us to comment on the
work of Sousa and his wonderful band
unless to say simply it was better than
ever, and that is high praise. Arthur
Pryor played two solos, one Of them his
own composition. Miss Maude Reese
Davis sang an aria from ia Traviata"
in highly finished manner, and it is
many a day since St. Johnsbury audi
ence has listened to such superb violin
playing as that of Miss Dorothy Hoyle.
Hearty encores were responded to by
several of the great bandmaster's familiar
marches which are always a happy adj
dition to a Sousa concert. After the
concert, by invitation of Mr.. Chapman,
a few friends were received by Mr.. Sousa
in the managers box. The band left
town on special train shortly after the
close of the concert.

It would be interesting to speculate where Col. Wilson would ''be at" now if Mark Smith had not taken off his coat and gone into the campaign. Mr. Smith confined his efforts largely to Graham, Cochise, Yuma and Maricopa counties. The result of the voting in these counties bear eloquent tribute to his efforts. We congratulate Col. Will son upon his election. It must be very gratifying to him that Yavapai county did not roll up bigger majority for his opp 1ent.-Tucson Citizen.
 Mark Smith made two speeches in Yuma county during the cam paign just closed-one in the town of Yuma and the other in Somerton. Two years ago these two precincts were strongly democratic and at the last cleo tfon they went republican. This county certainly "bears eloquent tribute" to Marks efforts. "It would be interesting to specu- late" what would have been the democratic majority in those pre- cincts if Mark Smith had not in vaded the county.

King St. Charles, editor of the Mineral Wealth, is the only newspaper man elected to the territorial legislature. Many are called but few are chosen. He belongs to the elect and is a thoroughbred. In the last ter ritorial legislature and toward its close, when the statehood bill was up for discussion, some member remarked, in answer to another member who said "they had better hurry up as the time was short, "that there was no need for hurry, as the national admin istration would soon be demo- cratic, and Arizona would be ad- mitted. King, who was tenn porary speaker, replied: "It is the opinion of the chair that there will be no democratic ad- ministration for the next forty years. Judging from present appearances his opinion must be taken as sound.

a bare subsistence, but a free and independent people. Simi- lar as the two rivers are in many respects, they will be wholly dis similar in the character of the two peoples.
 In all these schemes proposed by the government for reclaim ing lands bordering on the Colo rado, Yuma is greatly interested, for once they are consummated this will be the central point for traffic. Here will rise a great city rich in commerce and re- sources. A wrong impression that Yuma is too hot to live in with comfort unfortunately pre- vails, when in fact the reverse is true. During three months of summer the heat is usually in tense, but in the spring and fall and winter months the climate is enjoyable. When the great gov ernment schemes are once under way it will be widely known what the climatic conditions are here, and then Yuma will ex- perience phenomenal growth.

The senatorial committee on territories left Washington sev eral days ago to ascertain the conditions in the three terri torres asking for statehood, and will shortly be in Phoenix. Sen ator Beveridge is a member of the committee, and his opposi- tion to the admission of Arizona is no secret. The leading men of the territory should. there fore, use all efforts to convince him of the justice of Arizona's claim.
The Arizona sentinel., 1902-11-12

During the campaign Mark Smith told the voters that it was necessary for the territory to go democratic to insure statehood ; that any change in the political status of either of the territories would defeat the omnibus bill; that New Mexico was certain to go republican, and that the dem Gcrdts in Oklahoma had agreed to let the election go by default. Now, Mark, all the territories having maintained their political standing, shall we have state hood this winter as you said we should, or shall it be recorded, "SO spoke the false archangel, and bad influence into the un- wary breasts of his associates in stilled?"
