 C 19 1868. the first of the long troop trains clanked wearily &sNNG9 into the station at Ringgold. Ga. young man in gray uniform, wearing the shoulder straps of lieu tenant colonel, stood upon the plat form, an expression of eagerness and anxiety on his thin. worn face as he gazed at the long line of ramshackly cars filled with gray clad men. As the first soldier stepped from the train he rushed impetuously up to him with out stretched arms, shouting:y
 "Oh, Bob, Bobl am so glad'-
 The handsome face of Brigadier Gen. eral Robert Darrow, commanding the Alabama brigade of Hoods division of Longstreet's famous corps of the Army of Northern Virginia, broke into a broad smile as Lieutenant Colonel Hamilton Pleasants recovered himself with an embarrassed laugh, came to at tention, saluted in the most formal manner and remarked with military precision:
 General, report for duty, sir"
 "Glad to see you, Ham," returned Darrow genially, shaking the other warmly by the hand. "You ought not to be here, though. You are not well yet"
 Couldn't help it, said Peasants. II just had to come. heard there was going to be lighting, and I wanted to head the old regiment once more"
 well, you got here in the nick of time. Your regiment is on this sec ition. Go and take command and get the men out of the cars. They are in heavy marching order and are to move forward at once"
 "Mr. Ledyard," said the young gener- al, turning to & staff officer, "you are to remain at the station and as fast as the other regiments of the brigade come in direct their colonels to get the rest the right of the brigade over there in that field. Ah, here comes some one looking for us,' he added, as another staff officer came riding down the road at a furious gallop halted abruptly be- fore him, dismounted and saluted.
 General DarrowT
 "Yes, sir.'
 ''I'm Colonel Thompson of General Braggs staff."
 Glad to meet you, colonel"
 ''Thank you; the pleasure's mine" said Thompson. AS soon as your bri- gade is assembled, sir, you are to march mp this road to the left toward Reeds bridge, over ChickamaGga creek, with all speed. General Hoods compliments and orders, sir"
 ''Very, good, sir. How far is tito the armyY
 "It's about ten miles, reckon, and the general hopes you can get there this evening. There has been heavy fighting all morning. You are needed"
 well be there"
 'It's long march," said the colonel dubiously.
 That's all right; I've got a brigade of foot cavalry here," laughed Darrow.
 Don't wait. for anything, general"

Everybody Can't Do Everything

We can't paint picture. or carve statue. or make coat, but we can wash clothes to perfection. We can do 1t because we do nothing else-have done nothing else for good while-b. j. cause we have studied it. and thought about 1t, and worked hard as any painter ever did. 1t requires as much hard work, and practice, md talent, to rake a good laundry as to make a good nicfure. Everybody can't paint pic- can't wash clothes per- fectly. We want you to give us fair fria1. and allow us to prove our word.

COUNT oAssIETs VIEW.

Peasant Rises Against Money Lend
err, Not Against jew az such.
washington, May 19.-Count Casslni,
the Russian ambassador, III a eonver-
sation with representative of a
newspaper relative to the Jewish
troubles in Russia, said: "There is in
Russia. as in Germany and Austria, a
feeling against certain Of the Jews.
The reason for this unfriendly attitude
is found in the fact that the Jews will
not work in the field or engage In agri.
culture, They prefer to be money
lenders. Give a jew a couple Of dol
lars and he becomes a banker and mon
ey broker In this capacity he takes
advantage of the Russian peasant,
whom he soon has in his power and
ultimately destroys 1t is when the pa
tience Of the peasant is exhausted that
conflict between peasants and Jews
occur. Ordinarily the Russian Is a
very patient person, but it Is only nat
ural that he should entertain a feeling
Of resentment for the one who has
wrought his ruin.
Emperor Nicholas /. sought 10 help
the jews by ordering the establishment
of agricultural colonies in southern
Russia, hoping to induce the Jews tc
engage in agricultural pursuits instead
of money lending but the effort was
not successful, nor have other projects
establishing Jewish states been sue
cessful
THE situation in Russia SO far al
the Jews are concerned is just this: II
is the peasant against the money lend
er and not the Russians against the
Jews There is no feeling against the
jew in Russia because Of religion

state superintendent Of Education Makes
Valuable sugge, ions.
Since its institution in 1894 constant
" growing interest attaches to the obser-
vance of Pre- Memorial Day in our public
schools. Teachers, school officers and cit
liens are coming to appreciate the invalu-
able opportunity that this day offers to en-
kindle in the hearts Of children and youth
right civic sentiment and high patriotic
purposes, which ever make for better citi-
zenship. The near approach Of May 20,
again reminds us of a serious duty and
golden opportunity. ANY teacher worthy
to have charge of Vermont boys and girls
will provide loyalty for the appropriate
and inspiring observance Of this day. The
State Superintendent Of Education sent
out the first Of May, booklet Of 90 pages
as an aid to teachers in preparing fitting
exercises. About 20 pages refer 20 the
history and life of Vermont. "A copy should
have reached every teacher. II any teach
er has failed to receive copy, she may
apply to her school superintendent or ad-
dress the State Superintendent at Mont
pelier.

MAY LODGE A PROTEST
II Russia Forces the Jews to Emigrate
to the United States There
is a Pretext.

Washington, May 10.-None Of the
many resolutions relative to the Kishi-
neff outbreak adopted at various places
ia the United States has reached the
state department, and the officials
have nothing new before them upon
which to proceed. II is not known
whether further instructions have been
sent to our embassy at st. Petersburg.
So far the department las before it
only newspaper clippings describing
the Kishineff massacre, and it scarcely
feels authorized to move upon that
basis, even IL it had the power to do
50. Admitting desire to Investigate
in disregard Of the formal assurance
Of the Russian government to Ambas-
sador Mccormick, the department
would probably have to content itself
with the sworn statements Of refugees
from Kishine6.
To procure Information through the
American embassy or the American
oonsuls in Russia would probably rem
der our diplomatic agents personm non
grate In case they should cast doubt
upon the official Russian statements.
A Possible Pretext.
The latest brief eablegram from st.
Petersburg might open the way for
diplomatic action on the part of the
United States in this matter That
statement said the Russian govern
ment had forbidden the Jews TO arm
or defend themselves with d deliberate
purpose Of forcing them to emigrate
To the United States, for nowhere in
Europe could they end refuge
Such action would be similar 70 that
taken by the Roumanian government
upon which the state department laid
down the doctrine that the dumping
of hordes Of emigrants likely to prove
paupers upon our shores was obnox-
ious to the United States. In this con
nection 1t may be worth noting that IN
spite Of the vigorous protest against
R0umanla's action contained ID the
state departments circular note to the
powers the Roumanian government
aeyer admitted our right to interfere
even on the basis Of immigration, and
conditions continue very much as they
were SO far as the Jews in Roumania
are concerned.

NO RAIN FOR MANY WEEKS
Water Lowered Half a Foot in Boil
ster Reservoir, While Orange Sup
ply Holds 0ut Fairly Well.

With dry weather the thoughts of Barre
people and particularly the city officials
turn to the clty's water supply. The pres
ent is no exception, and the water Office
and other officials are receiving the usual
interrogating regarding the prospect of
shortage. The water Office has been on
the anxious seat for some time in fear Of
a famine but up to the present time there
has been no particular need Of worry.
However. the department wishes to
warn the users Of the city water against
any unnecessary drains at this time. This
morning the water in the Bolster reser-
yoir had been lowered half foot below
the average level and the prospects are
that II will 20 down much lower than
that.
AT the Orange Brook reservoir on Sun
day there was not much shrinkage. The
reservoir was full then, but il is probable
that there has been considerable shrink
age since. The Orange reservoir holds
5000, 900 gallons.
Alderman Duly, Of the water commit
tee Of the board of aldermen, says that he
does not anticipate any serious results
from the present drouth. lie visited both
reservoirs Sunday and found both to be
filed Unless rain falls soon, however,
Capt, Duffy says there win be cause for
apprehension.
