TWO CITIES nIsTuRREn.


1t is not often, If ever, that a we'd
ding disturbs two of the greatest cities
of the world, but that is what the
wedding of w. X. Vanderbilt and Mrs.
Lewis NJ. Rutherfurd seems to have
done, For days before their marriage
took place New York was treated to
two or three columns of sto-
ries of the approaching wedding
daily in every one of the
New York papers of the SEN
sational stripe. Mr.. Vanderbilt's
divorce case was rehashed and
the main features of the life
of his divorced wife and of his own
life were dished up for the benefit of
the multitude. Not only that, but the
cause of the divorce was gone into
infinitely.
The rehashing of the old divorce
case was mild and the publicity given
that and other matters connected with
the approaching wedding was limited
compared with the attack made by the
Bishop of London on the wedding and
the publicity that was given the at
tack. The wedding took place in st.
Marks Church in London, and was
performed by the Rev. r. H. MADDEN.
The license for it was issued by the
chancellor of the diocese, DR.. Tristan.
1t seems that the Bishop is opposed
to the marriage of divorced persons,
and so is the Archbishop of Canter-
bury. Therefore the Bishop was
in mood to say something
harsh when he found that Mr..
Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherfurd
had been married in church of
his diocese, and that the contracting
parties had been honored by having
the doors of the church closed when
which was a technical infringement Of
the law.
The Bishop undertook to investigate
the affair, but he did not get much
satisfaction. DR.. Tristan, the chancel-
lor, admitted that he was the guilty
party, but pointed out that he had
right to issue a license, that in fact
he was under obligations to issue it if
a clergyman could be found to per-
form the ceremony. OF course this re-
fers only to divorced persons. 1t seems
that the Rev. Mr.. Hadden did not re-
spond to the bishops request for an
explanation. And the Bishop, at ses-
sion of the London diocesan confer
ence. characterized the use of st.
Marks Church for the performance of
the ceremony as a grave moral scan
dali"
London is stirred up over the mat
ter and all of the details of this
grave moral scandal have been tele-
graphed to the uttermost ends of the
earth. Mr.. Vanderbilt would doubtless
endure great deal before he would
be a party to another divorce if he
could help it. If ever a mans domestic
affairs had an airing his have. The
whole world knows about him, his d.
Vorce and his new wife.

The same ship carried in her strong

that each American tourist in Europe

A novelty in connection with the
Reliance is that all halliards and sheet
ropes will be handled below decks. A
picturesque feature of yacht races,
and the handling of all sail craft, has
heretofore been the activity. the pull
ing and hauling. of the tars about the
decks. On the new craft. however, the
tars are to be slowed away tween
decks, like the fire-room and gun
crews on a war vessel 1t seems a pity
to eliminate the human element from
the races, but modern yachts are
hardly more than racing machines at
best, and the sending of the sailors
below is only a part of the evolution.
The boys in the hold will not be able
to see the race and enjoy the contest
with the old-time excitement and en-
thusiasm, but, like the human ma
chinery of the fighting craft, they will
be at their posts and do their duty.

Current Press Comment

OF the towns whose returns were Off
cially accepted by the secretary of state
100 voted no and 80 voted YES. There
are probably only three or tour towns
and perhaps none which voted no which
will be carried for license in March. but
good per cent. of those in the yes col
umn are doubtful, as many voters who
do not want saloons in their own COM
muuity looked upon the whole question
as one OF local control. In other words,
the votes of the men who believe in local
option, but who are against license, may
be an important factor at the March
meetings. Brattleboro Phoenix.
According to his own story, Captain
Brownell stands convicted OF having
caused the death, by excruclatiug torture
OF the Filipino priest, Father Augustine.
No circumstances can possibly justify, or
hardly mitigate, the enormity of this
crime. The priest may have done all
that is alleged he did to bring disaster to
the Americans; he may even have been
guilty of treason, in fact; but why should
this capt ain-thls Vermont captain, to
Vermont shame be it said-try to force
secrets from him by the cruel water cure,
the literal filling of his body with water
under pressure, with all the untold hor
rors that it suggests It's a survival Of
medieval barbarism breath from the
foul times when men were put to the
rack until they recanted or disclosed
things that their torturers wanted to
| know.
Brownel himself eludes trial for his
oiiense only through technicaltv. The
courts have held that after their dis.
charge from service volunteers cannot be
tried for offences committcd while in the
service by military courts, and the civil
courts have no jurisdiction of canses
which arise in the military department.

ing policy OF certain anti-impetiaists

The March Meeting.

The vote on the license bill is by far the
most important measure to come before
the voters and the majority against the
bill in Caledonia county should not only
be maintained but increased. Every
town in the county from the largest to
the smallest should be so aroused to the
dangers of the open saloon as to give an
emphatic refusal to its admission in this
section of the state. The argument that
no liquor can be secured after the town
agency is closed falls fat when one reads
the law and sees how fifth class licenses
can be granted to drug stores to sell Ii.
quor for medicinal purposes. Any town
that votes no license next Tuesday is en-
titled to have drug store licenses on the
request of per cent of the voters.
The declaration in another column OF
ST. Johnsbury citizens presents the views
OF large majority of our professional
and business interests. Others who are
opposed to the open saloon declined to
sign the paper, but wish it understood
they will vote mo" next Tuesday. We
do not want seven saloons in St. Johns
bury and should work from now until
next Tuesday night with that idea in
view

Some Reasons Why
~. JehBsbury should Keep Herself
Clean and shut Ont the saloon.

At the special election, February 3, St
Johnsbury gave within nine of three hun
bred majority against the proposed loca
option license law.
The state at large adopted the loca
option law BY close margin, because from
fifteen to twenty FIVE thousand voters
were not awake to the situation AND
neglected their duty
ST. Johnsbury, as the largest town in
the state, acquitted herself with credit on
the third day of February, and large
majority OF the other towns voted with
her against giving the open saloon a
place in Vermont.
Is there any reason why St. Johnsbury,
with all her moral educational, business
and social interests, should vote "yes" at
the March meeting after voting mo" in
February? Not one.
II on February 8 ST. Johnsbury had a
reputation to sustain, is there any goo
reason why at the March meeting that
reputation should be ignored Not one.
Experience has proven that the open
saloon is a reckless, insatiate competitor
of the retail dealer. Do the business men
of St. Johnsbury want to invite that sort
of competition,
The fact that the state has, by close
vote, decided in favor OF local option is
no argument in BEHALF OF the open saloon
in st. Johnsbury.
The business man cannot afford to vote
for the open saloon, from strictly bust
ness point Of view,
The working man cannot afford to vote
for the open saloon, which has an indis-
putable record as home. breaker and
character wrecker.
No man who has the good of bis com,
munity at heart will open wide the door
to so great peril.
Will St. Johnsbury, at the March
met ting, duplicate her splendid majority
of February 80?
There is every reason why she should.
There isn't single good reason why she
shouldn't. ]. w. S.

land, France, Holland and Spain Relat-
ing to America, 1853 to 1888" The
final pages of the introduction were fin
ished just before the writer died. The
work may we'll be termed stupendous,
from the labor and research necessary to
complete 1870 thick foolscap tolio vol.
umts with the numbered references to
this period of twenty years. Nearly the
whole of the limited edition is in clear
manuscript, rendered in facsimile by the
Photographic process. The memoir Of

folio, bound up with his own introduc-
ton to the great index. and in octave,

II Stands Alone.

Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription

common ailments of women, as to war

they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward

by such a remarkable guarantee. No
