AS OTHERS SEE US.


Gen. Baden Powell, the British cav
airy leader. who gained renown in the
Boer war, has been paying a visit OF
inspection to our cavalry posts. In
summing up his estimate of the United
States cavalry, he says that the horses
are all right and the men are very
quick and intelligent, bat that the
latter enjoy too many Injuries, are too
well fed, with too much coffee and
highly seasoned food, and that under
the stress and privations of a hard
campaign they would soon break
down.
This is an honest criticism and
entitled to consideration. 1t is ad-
mitted that the American soldier is the
best fed and best cared for OF any
fighting man on earth. The civil
standard of living is so high in the
United States that half-starved OF
ragged soldiery viii not be tolerated.

Quarantine Ended.

After being in force over six months
the quarantine has been raised on
Vermont cattle and other live stock
leaving the state on account of the
prevalence of the foot and mouth dis
ease.
DIR. F. A. Rich of Burlington, state
agent for the government in exter-
minating the disease, states that there
have been no cases since the middle
of February in Vermont, but that a
rigid quarantine has been kept in the
infected district, which included Ches-
ter and locality.
No less than $50 head of stock have
been killed by order of the govern.
ment and many tons of hay and other
fodder were purchased and destroyed
The farmers have been put to great
inconvenience and considerable loss
and the expense to the government
will reach many thousands OF dollars
DR.. Rich has worked indefatigably.
No cattle have come out of or en-.
tered the state except for immediate
slaughter since the quarantine.

SUICIDES AND ACCIDENTS.

Frances Metcalf. an inmate of the
Burlington poor house, whose mind
was unsettled, committed suicide May
? by throwing herself into a cistern
near the house.
L. F. Scofield died suddenly at the
Douglass House, Brandon. April %.
He fell down flight of stairs and died
soon after. probably as a result OF con-
cussion of the brain. Mr.. Scofield for
many years had been resident OF
Pittsford, where he was proprietor OF
the Otter Creek Inn.
William jackson, colored. a we'll
known resident of Castleton, was in
stantly killed between Rutland and
West Rutland May 2. He started to
drive load OF lumber from Castleton
to Rutland. He stopped at a West
Rutland saloon and drank heavily and
after proceeding a short distance fell
from his load and rolled under his
wagon far enough so that the heavy
wheels passed over his head crushing
his skull beyond recognition.

A Question In Law.

A law question has arisen over the
commitment of Michael McNally LOT
second offense OF intoxication. lie
was fined s15 and costs in the city
court at Montpelier and on failure 10
nav the fine was committed by me
court to the house of correction for los
DAYS. Chief Mcmahon took McNally
10 Rutland April "a, but Superintendent
d. L. Morgan would not receive the
prisoner on the commitment issued,
and the chief was obliged to take him
back to Montpelier. superintendent
Morgan holds that the alternative SEN
tence for second offense of intoxica-
ton is the county Jail under the license
law. 1t is said this action was taken
by Supt. Morgan to prevent filling the
house of correction with long-term
drunks. On the other hand, it is not
plain how a man can work out his line
in county jail. He is liable to stay
there during his life unless some one
paws his fine and costs.
Judge Woodward, who committed
McNally TO the house of correction,
claims that it was done under the gen
eral law which provides that when
any person convicted OF an onense
punishable by a fine is sentenced to
paw that fine and no other sentence Is
imposed. the court shall further order
that if the sentence is not complied
with within "a hours he shall be I'M
prisoned in the house of correcrion ioi
three times as many days as the mum
Der OF dollars in the sentence, includ'
ing the cost of commitment.
Sheriff G. b. Evans, after consult
ing with McNally's attorney, w. A.
Lord, April q. decided that he had
no authority TO hold the prisoner and
turned him over to Chief-of-Pollct
Martin Mcmahon. who let him go.
In order TO test the validity OF the
action of the superintendent of the
house OF correction in refusing admit
lance OF second-ofense DRINKS sent C

corpus papers were served on City Sher

bound for Rutland April %, Rogers
having been sentenced 20 lO2 days az
alternative sentence.
He was brought before Judge W. +
Stafford, and the matter was continued
until the next term Of supreme court
which conyenes May II, when th'
question as to the validity Of the com
mitment can be determined. Roger
was unable to pay a fine OF Sl5 ant

Or. conlsnd Dead.

DR.. James Conland OF Brattleboro
died EARLY Saturday morning after an
illness OF about two months.
DIR. James Conland was born In
Brooklyn, y. Y. in 1851. His parents
died when he was baby and he spent
his boyhood upon a Cape Cod farm. In
the early part of the civil war he went
to Boston and secured employment a
naval office, working there for several
years. He next took up the life Of a
sailor and was employed at different
times upon fishing vessels, coasters
and East India traders.
He came TO Brattleboro for the first
| time in 1875 and secured work in the
drug store of c. S. Willard. Soon af-
terward he began the study of medi-
cine with DR.. III. ID. Holton and enter
ed the medical department of the Uni
versity of Vermont. graduating from
that institution In July, 1873.
As a physician. DIR. Conland stood
among the highest of the Vermont pro-
fession. He had been a member of the
pension examining board in Brattle-
boro for many years, and last winter
was appointed by Gov. Mccullough as
a member OF the state tuberculosis
commission, although he refused the
appointment on account of poor health.
Politically DIR. Conland was always a
Democrat. Altho' as a rule he took nc
active part in politics. he was twice
sent to the state legislature as town
representative from Brattleboro. Al
the last session he did valuable work
on the special committee that framed
the local option law.
DR.. Conland was probably the most
intimate friend of Rudyard Kipling in
the United States. He accompanied
the famous author on trip to Glouces-
ter. and helped him secure the materi-
al for Captains Courageous in re-
turn for which kipling presented the
doctor with the original manuscript OF
the novel. DR.. Conland has always
been an ardent collector of old books,
and had an exceedingly valuable libra
ry OF first editions. He is survived by
widow and one son.

REAL PROFIT-SHARING.

The new departure in the conduct
of the so-called company stores of
the Vermont Marble company Will
be noted with interest. This COM
pany has three stores, one each at
Proctor, West Rutland and Center
Rutland, at which most of the en-
ployes of this great concern trade, as
well as others not employed by it.
The stores have been conducted pri-
marily for the benefit OF the workmen,
goods being sold at much narrower
margin OF profit than is the case when
sold by private stores for their own
advantage. None of the employees
have been required to patronize these
stores, unless they found 1t to their
own benefit to do so. The actual
profit of the three stores last year,
deducting reasonable amounts for
rent, interest, ETC., was between
8 per cent and 4 per cent on the total
sum Invested, which would hardly
be accounted a profitable mercantile
record.
Beginning May LIST, the company
has entered upon new system
whereby the net profits of the stores
at the end of the year are to be
divided to the last penny among the
patrons of the stores who are en-
ployes OF the company at the end of
the year, on the basis of their volume
of trade at the store. The company
furnishes the capital, takes the risk
of loss. and if there is profit the
men get it. excepting a fair allowance
for rent and per cent interest. In
effect, therefore, the Vermont Marble
company guarantees merchandise at
actual cost to its employees. A COM
mittee of workmen, representing the
various nationalities is empowered to
verify accounts and look out for the
patrons interests. If any prejudice
has arisen which could only arise
from lack of observation-disclosures
this company has conducted COM
pany stores, there can now exist only
the fullest appreciation for the gen.
erosity and kindly spirit shown by
the Vermont Marble company toward
its employees, as they have been
shown in SO many other ways in the
past.

The only safeguard for the perpet-
uation OF good fishing in the lake lies
in a better understanding between the
authorities OF Canada, Vermont and
New York, an understanding that will
abolish seine fishing, at least during
the season when the fish are passing
in and out of the rivers at spawning
time Barre Telegram.
Missisquoi Bay is the lakes great
spawning bed. Into it millions of fish
go every year. This bay is partly in
Vermont and partly in Canada. Yer
mont has always shown a disposition
to prevent SEEMING in this bay, If Can
ada would do likewise. Time and
again the two sets of officials have
come to a square agreement. Canada
has "welched." Her fishermen have
been found drawing seines and have
produced the written authority to dc
so from their officials. So Vermont
has adopted the policy--to save her
share OF the fish-of granting licenses
for seining whenever Canada does so,
The result is disastrous to the fish. but
there seems no remedy until Canada
shows a change OF heart.
