D. & II. WANTS TO CONE IN.
Report That This Company May Ex-
tend to Montpelier via w. r. Ry.

A Montpelier despatch to the St
Adams Messenger says
Interest in the proposed railroad
between Montpelier and Rutland has
been greatly increased by the develop
ment of new factor in the PROPOSE
ton to build a road between these two
points. 1t is reported from a reliable
source that the Delaware & Hudson
Co. is negotiating for the construction
OF line over the proposed route by
way of Bethel and the White river
valley. This powerful railroad and
coal company has for long time de-
sired to penetrate central Vermont
with line of its own and the oppor-
tunity seems now to present itself for
the company to take advantage of the
charter granted by the last legislature
for a railroad between Montpelier and
Rutland.
1.-The scheme outlined contemplates
the purchase of Il portion of the White
River Valley railroad between Roches-
ter and Bethel and utilizing 1t for a
part of the through line. As is well
known the Delaware Il Hudson Co.
has Vermont terminal at Rutland
and a glance at the map OF the state
shows that the company could easily
extend its line to Barre and Mont
pelier by the way of Chittenden, Pitts
field and Bethel and the towns in
Orange county in the White river val
ley. Such a road would be full of
possibilities in the way of develop
ment of freight and passenger traffic
in central Vermont and, il the Della
ware q Hudson Co. is back OF the
scheme, it is more than probable that
the line will be constructed within a
short time

HEALTHY WASHINGTON.
Vermont Town in Which No Doctor
Can Make a Living.

The little village of Washington
Orange county, now claims TO be the
healthiest place in Vermont II not il
New England. and the evidence which
| is presented in behalf of the claim ii
at least astonishing. Sickness il
almost unknown there, and about the
only deaths are due to old age, or a
least occur after the residents have
gone past the allotted three score
years and ten.
Physicians have settled in the vii
lage occasionally after ascertainine
the population and learning that nc
other doctor was within four miles
and but one within eight miles, but the
stay of each has been of short duration
for it has never taken more than a few
months to demonstrate that the town
gives no money nor glory to doctors
and is amply able to dispense with
their services.
The last to try his luck stayed about
six months, attending one patient who
died of old age, and another who was
injured at fire, and then moved out,
poorer but wiser man.
The village is small, having pop.
ulation of perhaps two hundred per-
sons, but its location is delightful.
1t nestles among the hills with only
one outlook, that toward Knox noun
tain and its supporters in the adjoin-
ing town of Orange. to the northeast.
All is quiet with the exception of the
screaming of saw in little mill on
Jail branch, which flows through the
village.
As one walks along the main street
or drops into one of the village stores
grayhaired men and women are seen
going about their work, while only
occasionally does a bright young face
appear.
When this winter settled upon Yer
mont it found three couples living
within mile of each other in Wash
ington, each of whom had been mar
ried fifty years. They were Mr. and
Mrs. Warren Huntington, Mr.. and
Mrs. Winslow Flint and Mr.. and Mrs.
Denison Flint. OF these six persons
the youngest was so years old and the
oldest, Mr. Huntington, was 50.
It is so common in Washington for
man and wife to live together for fifty
years that very seldom is a golden
wedding celebrated.
At present the oldest person in the
village is Mrs. Lucy Cheney, who is
in her 9Sth year, still physically strong
and active, though mentally weak.
David Taylor, hale old farmer of
90, is more active than many men of
80 and his mind is still clear as ever.
1t is a common sight to see the old
man at work keeping his end well up
with the younger men.
Two others are 80, Elijah Walker
and Mrs. Eaton Emery. Lyman Pep
per is 81. Mrs. Sylvester Tillotson 50,
Plynsin Seaver so, Mrs John Hunt
ington So, Cutting Cheney 50, Lewis
Bolles 81 and Mrs. Sylvia Waterman
so.
Aside from those already named,
there are twelve persons in or near the
village between the ages OF 20 and so
years, and sixteen between 20 and 75.
A remarkable instance of long con-
tinued public service was shown few
years ago when III. A. White was
elected town clerk for the 50th time
and accepted the office.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and LOG
years ago.
Salt pork is good if man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
SCOTS Emulsionisthe
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of codliver oil and hypoPhos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

Felix w. McGettriek of st. Adams,
late Democratic candidate for govern
or, is uncertain whether he will favor
or oppose the license act He is not at
all suited with some of its provisions.
He says -
The action of the chronic rumsell.
ers. men who have for years prided
themselves on their ability to defy the
law and enrich themselves violating
the prohibtory law, now brazenly and
defiantly throwing open their bars be-
fore the new law goes into effect, is
evidence of their purpose to monopo-
lie or control the business in the
event of the laws acceptance by the
people, and in my judgment will drive
thousands of the friends of local option
to oppose the measure, as they are not
the class of men that good citizens
wish to see hold licenses. Men who
have made it their business to violate
the prohibitory law and who have made
fortunes in that business will disre-
gard the wholesome provisions OF a Ii
cense law with the same impunity, il
they can make money by so doing.
81 urged two propositions upon the
Democrats in the legislature: First,
that nothing in the nature of referen-
DUN should cucumber the law; and
second, that it should contain pro-
vision that no license should be grant
ed to any man who had ever been con-
victed ofviolating the prohibitory law
or on proper proof was shown to have
done so. In both of these respects the
bill passed fails 10 meet my contention
and, therefore, in both of these re-
spects at least the law is Objectionable

force, has the selling of liquor been as
open as it is now says despatch to
the Rutland Herald. "A conservative
estimate of the number OF places mt
which various kinds of liquor can be

was placed recently by one of the city

the joints are closed.
within a stones throw of the police
office there are three wide-open bars,
at all Of which beer and ale are on
draught, and any kind of liquor. in
Guiding all kinds Of mixed drinks, can
be bought over a bar, with white
aproned bartender to serve them. On
Church street are two more open bars
similar to those near the police station.
'In the north part OF the city there
are dives of the worst sort without
number. On one short street in this
section of the city there are eight
houses and out of the eight six sell liq

looms, while Lakeside park supports
many OF the worst kind OF dives. The
fact that everything is wide open is

The Concordia Seminary IL the leading
institution of its kind in America. it was
founded by Walther, who came to St. Louis
in 1883. Five ships. carrying a colony of
followers of the Lutheran faith, left Ger
many. and four of them arrived in New Or
leans. The other ship was lost at sea.
A part of the colony. under the leadership
of Waither. came to ST. Louis. while others
journeyed to Perry County. Missouri. Later
Walther went to Perry and became the
spiritual director of the entire flock.
1t was in Perry County that the first eff
fort for the establishment of a theological
school of the Evangelical Lutheran faith
was made. and this effort. was crowned with
success in 1855. when the Concordia Semi
nary was established in ST. Louis.
Walther was the first president OF the
seminary and he retained this position until
his death, in 1887. He gave his life to the
success of the seminary. which this year
has enrolled $50 students. and which will.
within a few weeks, graduate siXty~ive
students. who will be sent in the capacity
of missionaries to Australia. New Zealand
and Brazil and other South American coun-
tries. and to East India.
1t was in the hope OF purchasing two

In some Of the New England towns also
the old hand industries have been revived.
Though here there is no missionary purpose.
but rather an industrial and aesthetic one.
At Deerfieid, Mass. the old-fashioned weay-

lave been resumed, and in

at its highest modern development IN Amer
lea. In places like these the object is large
ly to give the towns some other reason for
existence than Is afforded by the summer

always great enough to insure a market for
the wares of as many communities as re-
