The good bishop had,- with the help

that it might as if by accident fall into

A Vermont Boys Opinion.

Editor of The Phoenix:
am glad 10 hear The Phoenix speak
in no uncertain sound at this time of
Vermonts sore temptation. There is no
doubt but that there Is a call for i'm
provement in existing conditions but to
open the licensed saloon, with its sys-
icmatic work to increase the use of liq-
uors. Will be giving a stone instead of
bread As you know, for the past twelve
years | have been travelling in local op-
ton state, in which most of the cities
and many of the towns vote for license.
The more | see of these towns and get
acquainted with their people, the more
deeply l realize what a blghting curse
the licensed saloon is to a community.
The saloon keeper has paid a high fee
and has only twelve months to get his
money back, and he wants some profit,
too. He is pressed by the situation, to
do al he can to increase his business.
Many unwilling victims are drawn in.
The saloon keepers complained of a very
light business just after New Years, but
it is beginning to pick up now. If his
tory repeats itself, by the middle of
February nearly all the ''old trade
will have been induced to forget it's New
Years resolve, to let the stun alone"
1t is sad story as l see it from day
to day, and | am always thankful that
! was reared in good old Vermont where
this curse is not thrust on it's young
men, and the weak and unfortunate are
not tempted as they are here. The
saloon-cursed men of this section are
fast seeing the best positions taken by
the hundreds of young men from Yer
mont and Maine who have come into the
race unhampered by the liquor habit
May Vermont still KEEP the spring pure!
Do not worry about your summer Wis
itors. They will continue, cheerfully, to
bring their supplies" with them. I can
not believe Vermont would vote for the
licensed saloon if her citizens could see
All the ills that follow in its wake. She
will find some better way to supply liq-
uors to those who must have them. Her
many sons in Massachusetts are anxi-
Gus to see her hold the high position
which has so long been hers. Continue
To tell them the whole truth and to

The BrattleborO street railroad man
ayers were just in time in congratulate
ing themselves last week on having
kept the cars running through the
hardest periods of the winter The
present week brought the most trying
period of all. and the cars were com
pletely tied up all day Wednesday and
a large part of yesterday. Hail and
rain fell during Tuesday night and

o'clock i'm the morning it was $50
O'Clock when it reached the junction of
Canal and Main streets In going
down the hill past the Ninton building
the plow was unable to keep on the
rails on account of the layer of ice.
1t slid on the ice with such speed that
when it struck the curve near the
bridge it left the rails and went about
its length toward Depot street. a car
pulled the plow back to the rails but
two hours were consumed in the OPP
Grafton. During the afternoon the
road was opened to the water house on
Western avenue. dozen or more men
being employed with picks and shOvels.
The process on Main street was
watched with interest by large crowd.
The plow ond one car would get under
full headway and proceed as far as
possible. Workmen would pick the
ice off the rails behind the car and
then the plow and car would back up
and get under headway again. Work
was resumed yesterday morning, and
although new ice had formed during
the night on that portion of track
which was opened Wednesday it was
not as difficult to remove. The track
was opened yesterday as far as Stock
wells store in West Brattleboro on
the west and as far as Birge street on
the east The cars began running
late in the afternoon covering as much
of the line as possible. The work of
opening up the ends Of the line was
begun this morning. The storm de-
layed the trains on the steam rail
roads. but not seriously.

Col. Linn d. Taylor saved the life of
Willie Cudworth, 4, son of Mr.. and Mrs

him Col. Taylor soon found ont that

asked where. the boy said "over there"
pointing in no particular direction.
Col Taylor FASTENED to the iron
bridge which spans the MILESTONE and
when about half way across saw a
dark object come from under the
smiccway which carries off the drain
age from the Canal street main. As
this object rolled over and over Col
Taylor was startled 20 see that the
small boy was being carried rapidly
down the canal in the current. He
shouted loudly for help while dash

the sluiceway. and plunged through
the snow knee deep until he reached
a point where the ice extended partly
into the canal Here he was able to
reach out and seize the boy. but for

to drive along the street at this time
The doctor gave the lad proper med

condition from being in the canal the
boy was suffering from bad con.

by striking head first against the

THE BUBONIC PLAGUE.
1t Exists in San Francisco-the Sport

tauion.

tagion.
Dr. H. y. Holton of the Vermont
board of health left for Washington
last Sunday afternoon, having been
called to thatcity by Surgeon General
| Wyman, the head of the national pub
lie health and marine hospital service,
for a consultation on Monday in regard
to the existence of the bubonic plague
in San Francisco. On attending the
meeting on Monday Dr. Holton found
assembled II representatives Of as
many different boards of health of the
states North and South and from the
Pacific coast. At this conforenceitwa
accepted as q fact that the bubonic
plague has existed in San Francisco for
at least two years. and Of its spread
from there to other Pacific coast towns.
The work of combating the plague has
been greatly complicated by the fact
that both the state authorities Of Cal
ifornia and the city authorities Of San
Francisco have been determined that
no public acknowledgment should be
made of the existence of the plague in
the city Surgeon General Wyman
gave information. received from Dr. A.
H. Glenner who had been sent to Sar.
in which it was stated that post NOR
tenn examinations had shown that at
least % cases of plague had occurred
in the city. 81 being in Chinatown. It
was also found that large number of
rats which had been examined We're in
fected with the plague. Resolutions
We're adopted, recommending that the
most stringent precautions possible
should be taken to wipe out the plague,
especially in the Chinese quarter. If
this is not done by the local author
tiles the national government will be
called upon to set up a quarantine
against the city and state.
The interest of the Vermont board
of health in the work of eradicating
the plague will be recognized when it
is remembered that Malone. " Y.
and RichfOrd. Vt are the only two
New England points Of entry for Chi
nese to this country. east Of the states
of Washington and North Dakota. the
contract of the Canadian Pacific rail
road with the Chinese SIX Companies
being to deliver these people at one or
other of these two points. For this
reason the Vermont board OF health

stantly on the watch against the ap-
pearance Of the bubouic plague among
the Chinese seeking 10 enter or pass
through this state.
II is commonly known that medical
experts became convinced some time
ago that rats are the means of carry

the ships at infected ports and carry
ing it to other ports. but ii is not so
generally known that the scientists
now accept it as an established fact
that feas which infest the rats are

The white heat of politics, which
glowed all summer, has suffered a
winter chill. The proposed referen-
dunn is debated vigorously in the news
paper columns, but in the places where
men most do congregate it is not the
all-absorbing topic of discussion. Peo-
pie say but little about it. 1t is re-
ceived with apathy and the little talk
that is heard is mainly predictions and
speculations as to the size and result
of the vote. The vote of last Sep
tember cannot be taken as a criterion
in making a forecast. Mr. Clement
was supported to some extent on issues
outside the liquor question, and people
did not feel then the personal RESPONSE
bility in chasing after a leader who
inveighed against the existing con-
ditons that they do now face to face
with a question which affects alike the
state, communities, homes and indi-
viduals.

Remembered Teachers"

Under this heading the Public Ledger
of Philadelphia has the following COM
ment on its editorial page, on the me-
mortal of the late James Tufts, edited
by his son, Prof. James H. Tufts, and
issued by him for private distribution
the past summer:
The memoir of Rev. James Tufts, an
old time teacher at Monson, Mass, edit
ed by his son. a professor in Chicago
University, draws attention to a class
of public benefactors who are not al
ways valued by their contemporaries at
their true worth. In every community
there are traditions of certain Old fash
iOned instructors who not only taught
with singular success, but left an indeli-
BILE impression upon the characters of
their pupils.
For nearly fifty years James Tufts
taught the MOnson Academy. his biog-
rapher records, with a success which was
long a matter of local fame. His
methods We're not unlike those of many
of our famous Pennsylvania teachers of
another generation. There were few
rules, his son recalls much odtdopr
life, and a variable amount of study.
President Seeyle, of Amherst, once re-
marked that il was among the few pri-
vate schools for boys In his acquaint-
ance where he did not pity the boys.
Springfield Republican, that among the
boys who cherished lasting affection for
Mr.. Tufts was Eugene Field, whose
happy genius was no doubt nurtured by
the unconventional life led under the
roof tree of Father Tufts
"One of the elements of his remark
able success was the moral training he
gave to his charges. There is much
discussion, at times heated and acrimon-
ious, respecting the limits of moral in
struction in the schools. For a time
Mr.. Tufts was superintendent of COM
mon schools. His biography records
that he urged the teachers of these
schools to lay stress on moral training.
In one of his reports Mr. Tufts said
if a child is cruel selfish and mean,
must ii all be overlooked? Will simply
reading, writing and arithmetic make
good citizens? May not children excel
in studies and still have bad manners
and charactersH
MANY of the inmates of our prisons
and reformatories are not ill!terate.
Comparatively few are, as the official
reports of the institutions show. Fol-
lowing the lines laid down by Mr.. Tufts,
much can be done for the morals of
children in the schools without arous-
ing sectarian controversy. There are
certain moral delinquencies of children
which all men agree should be correct
ed in the home and in the school"

Anthracite Coal Production.

The total output of anthracite coal
from Pennsy ylvania in 1870 was SO tons.
This coal was taken entirely from the
Lehigh valley region and it was not
until several years afterward that min
ing was commenced in the other an
thracite regions of the state. The first
shipments from the Schuylkil region
were in 1892, and the FIRST from the
Wyoming district in 1879, when l,4SO and
1900 tons, respectively, were shipped
from these sections. The growth of
coal mining from that time to the pres
ent forms an interesting commentary on
the industrial development OF the coun-
try. With but slight variations the in
crease in the anthracite coal production
has been remarkably steady, until the
insignificant output in the first quarter
of the last century has been swelled to
the enormous production in 1850 of 49,
l07 ,4S4 long tons.
1t is interesting to note the sources
from which this output comes. AT the
beginning OF mining operations the Le-
high region, that in the neighborhood of
Mauch Chunk and Hazleton furnished
the entire output. Soon after coal was
mined in the SchuylkilI region to the
south, with about 40 per cent of the total
output followed some six or seven years
later by the Wyoming region, with but
Ga per cent. At the end of 1900 the
Wyoming region, in which are located
the centers of Wilkesbarre, Pittston,
Scranton, and Carbondale, had forged
ahead to the first place in production,
with an output of about 54A per cent.
The Schulykill came second, with ship
ment of about 30 per cent and the Le-
high section had fallen to the last
place, with only fifteen and one-third per
cent of the whole output.
The figures for 1901 show that the pro-

ing regions produced 1857 per cent, the
Schuylkill region 33.4 per cent, and the
Lehigh region 17.02 per cent

The Boston Record, in noting the
death of seven sailors by an explosion
on the battleship Massachusetts, re-
calls an historical event which has
been almost forgotten. Commodore
Stockton invited President Tyler and
his cabinet to witness the test on the
Princeton, in Potomac river, of gun
called "the peacemaker," which fired
a ball weighing 225 pounds. On the
sixth discharge the gun burst, kill
ing Mr.. Upshur, secretary of state;
Gen. Gilmer, secretary of the navy;
Virgil MaXey, minister to The Hague
President Tyler escaped, as he hap
pened to be below decks. Miss Ju-
liza Gardiner, who accompanied her
father on the excursion, had hidden
the Presidents hat as joke, and Mr..
Tyler had gone below to look for it
when the shot that burst the gun was
fired. The body of Mr.. Gardiner was
brought to the White House, and Miss
Gardiner was obliged to remain there
some time on account of an illness
that followed the shock of her fathers
death. She and the President be-
came engaged within six months.
Mrs. Tyler is still living in Virginia.

EXTRACTING GOLD.
Readsboro Man Has A New Process
Has Taken $1o,ees in Precious
Metals From Ore in the Past Seven
Months,

Charles \. Cook who has been a resi-
dent of Readsboro since last February,
and has been interested in the gold min
ing prospects of the upper Deerfield,
claims to have an entirely new process
of extracting gold and other precious
metals from the rock existing in that
valley. His process is a secret but he
insists that IL will take out the finest
particles of the flour gold and other met
ais He has been experimenting on the
process for seven months. He declares
that his process has resulted in getting
out gold, silver, platinum and copper to
the value of $l0,SSs to the ton. BY treat
ing 10 pounds, eight ounces of ore he Sc
cured five pounds and eight ounces of
precious metals. Not satisfied with
this great result and in order to satisfy
himself. he started in to make another
test of 40 pounds of ore, getting prec-
ious metals which check up much great
er than the first test he made. He left
for New York Tuesday to have the
precious metals tested by the United
States mint to get their report on the
values of the same.
