Democratic Rally.

1t may be as has been claimed, that the
great majority of democrats in St.
Johnsbury will bolt the regular state
ticket this year and vote for Clement,
but surely the rally at Howe Opera
House last evening did not indicate that
there was a lack of enthusiasm for
McGettrick and May. There was
good audience and the speakers were
given good attention.
Elisha May, candidate for lieutenant
governor, was the first speaker, and
his theme was the increase in state ex-
penses which he showed by statistics.
He also dwelt upon the great increase
Ill the number of executive offices since
1868.
The candidate for governor, Felix w.
McGettrick, of St. Abans, was intro
duced by Mr.. May, and gave clean and
eloquent presentation OF his partv's
position on state issues, dwelling chiefly
on the question of the much discussed
prohibitory law. He stated that he
believed that an overwhelming majority
of the people in Vermont wanted the.
prohibitory law repealed, and claimed
his party is the only solution OF the
question, as the platforms of McCul-
Tough and Clement advocated a referen-
dunn which was surely unconstitutional,
and if local-option law was enacted by
the legislature and approved by the
people under the methods prescribed in
the platforms, it would be good for
nothing, and the present law would still
be in force. The speaker scored the law
and the methods employed in its enforce
ment, but his address was corspicuously
free from personal attacks on anyone
and it is safe to say that even if Mr..
McGettrick did not make any votes, he
certainly made a great many friends,
who will be numbered among his hearers
if he ever comes to St. Johnsbury again.
The st. Johnsbury Band occupied place
on the stage and enlivened the occasion
with music.

bers it was celebrated in the summer
time. Eight members were present and
found Mrs. Stone very active for one in
her SSth year, retaining her faculties re-
markably, her waning eyesight alone Civ
ing her some inconvenience. A very pleas
ant time was spent socially and tea was
served at 5 O'Clock by Mrs. Ward and her
daughter Mabel.

WoodsvilIe Loses Again.

The ST. Johnsbury ball nine added an
other to the lengthening list of victories
from Woodsville Saturday on the cam
pus. Up to the fifth inning the game was
good one, not man scoring and only
two or three reaching first base. In the
fifth the visitors made three runs and the
home team four and after this the game
was rather a one-sided affair. In the
sixth inning the visitors made an entirely
unwarranted kick on Umpire Stiles and
to please them Manager Rickaby put
Charles w. Steele in o finish the game.

a Few Trust Items,

Almost every trade paper of to-day
is full of information about the trusts
and advancing prices. Thus, taking
up the Iron Age of Sept. 4, 1902, we
find on page AZ, that manufacturers
of iron ware have revised theiI
prices, and as result pals are
quoted 81 per gross higher and wash
tubs % cents to so cents higher pei
Dozen. THE manufacturers Of
scythes, who have been working in
harmony for some time, have agreed
upon uniform schedule of prices fol
next season, which may be in a gen
eral way referred to as about sc
cents in advance of the price for thai
season Just closed. 1t is thought
probable that prices will be well
maintained and perhaps advanced
especially if the plans that are under
consideration looking to the consoli
dation of the edge tool interests are
effected"
1t is stated that the American Forl
and Hoe company, which includes the
principal manufacturers of stee
goods, has not yet announced Its
prices.
IAN advance of twenty cents pei
hundred pound has recently beer
made in the price of wrought iror
washers"
An advance of So ton has beer
made in the price of sash weight In
the New York market, making the
present price S25.
Further steps are being taker
with view to the harmonizing Of
our window glass interests with . pos
sibility of success"
These are only few items on one
mage of the Iron Age.

Mont Cents, Turin, Genoa, Milan, Ven

There they remained about six
weeks, but there is no mention, at

In later times the number of visitors
from the United States increases.

In 1856 another lawyer, who had for
saken the art OF persuading by words
for the art CT winning by sculpture,
William Wetmore Story, entered Rome
for the third time. In the later years
of his life Mr.. Story was not only
representative American artist. but his
residence in the magnificent Palazzo
Barberini was center to which the
great bulk of the intelligent and prom
inent Americans were attracted. Few
strangers know Rome as Mr.. Story did.
He had seen it when it was an artists
paradise; when the Pope might still be
seen driving along the Corso or walk
ing in the avenues of the Pincian Gar
den; when living was cheap and when
talent was regarded as far above ru-
bies. And then he was such an excel
lent talker! He had fund of anec-
dote which, when in humor for talk
ing, he gave forth in words that were
the best suited for his narrative. He
was one of the last of the converse
tionists. Another of them was
painter named Freeman. who had seen
much and remembered much of the
artists life in pre-ltalian Rome.
In Story's most notable book, "Roba
di Roma" condition of life no longer
existing is depicted with mastery

point, had the two ever come together.
In one of his recurrent moods of bit
terness and jealousy toward Washing
ton Adams asked: Would Washington
have ever been commander of the rev.

United States if he had not married
the rich widow of Mr.. Custis?"
According to Mr.. Ford it seems that
he would, for he had achieved colonial
military fame before his marriage.
That the Widow Gusts was desir-
able 'partie" is not to be denied, how
ever, as her part of the GUSTS prop
erty equalled Fifteen thousand acres
of land a good part of it adjoining the
city of Williamsburg; several lots in
the said city; between two and three
hundred negroes, and about eight or
ten thousand pounds upon bond" es-
timated at the time at about twenty
thousand pounds in all. This property
was further increased on the death of
Patsy Gusts in 1878 by half of her
fortune, which added ten thousand
pounds to the sum.-Richmond Dis

Packed and Print Butter.


From census bulletin we take tho
following: The quantity Of butter
made at creameries has been reported
under two heads-"packed solid" and
prints or rolls" It appears that or
all creamery butter, 32,956,590 pounds.
or 1873 per cent, Is packed In solid
form, and 91.169.956 pounds; or Eli
per cent, in prints or rolls. The totals
of these two forms in the several
states indicate differences In the mar
ket requirements and the local GUS
toms as to preparing butter for ship
ment and sale. In the New England
states the numerous cities and large
towns easy Of access furnish markets
where butter can be sold directly to
retail dealers or consumers. For this
purpose It is prepared in bricks, prints
or balls weighing half pound or a
pound. Vermont excepted, the cream
cries of these states make twice as
much butter into prints as they pack
in solid form. In Rhode Island and
Connecticut, with consuming markets
at their doors, eight pounds OF cream
cry butter is put into prints to every
pound packed. In Vermont, on the
contrary, with little local demand ana
the consequent necessity Of shipping
away to market, only about one-fourth
of the creamery butter Is made into
prints. In New York the practice has
always been to pack butter solldly IN
firkins, tubs, or boxes; and print
butter is rather exceptional in the
great market of New York city. In
that state, therefore, four and half
pounds of butter are packed to one
pound put in prints. The Philadei-
phia market, on the contrary, and
Pennsylvania markets in general,
have always been noted for print but
ter; consequently it is not surprising
to find that the creameries OF that
state report almost as much made into
prints as the quantity solid packed.
From Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
butter must be sent long distances to
market, and naturally goes mainly In
bulk; less than one-eighth of the
creamery product Of those states IS
made into prints. South Dakota, even
more remote from market, packs 80
per cent of it's creamery butter IN solid
form. But upon the Pacific coast
local customs favor butter in rolls OF
two pounds weight, accordingly In the
states of California, Oregon, and
Washington, three-fourths of all the
butter made at creameries is reported
as in prints or rolls.-Farmers' Re-
