CRowDING INTO THE CITIES.
Rural Districts in England Are Rap Idly Being FOrsaixcn by
 the People.

The depopulation of the rural dis tricts of England is beginning to cause serious concern to the government. From statistics recently collated it is learned that in 1901 36 per cent. of the population lived in towns of 1000 in habitants and upward, whereas in 1891 64 per cent. of the population inhabited towns exceeding 4,000 in population. The rural population in 1891 on 31,577,- GOO acres was only 5,534,00o persons out of total population of 29,oo2, ,525. Ii will be seen from these latter figures, says a London exchange, that less than one-ffth of the whole people live in the country and are engaged in rural occu- pations Lord Ayebury, in commenting upon these figures, ascribed the de- crease of rural population to the failure of the country schools to foster interest in country life and objects. There have been other causes at work, however. The great development in the pleasures and recreations of town life, the in creased interest in politics, agricultural depression, miserable labor wages and last, but perhaps not least, the local tyranny of squire and parson, have con tributed to this result. It is perhaps yet to be seen whether the development of local government will have the de- sirable effect of making country life more interesting and tolerable.

NATIONS HAVE WAR CHESTS.
Vast Sums in European Treasuries Lald Up for Times of
 Strife.

A source ot amazement to continental politicians is the facility with which Great Britain obtains the money to carry on the South African campaign. Even our severest critics acknowledge that in no other country could the many millions already voted have been obtained so readily.
 This is all the more wonderful to them when they remember that in the sense they understand it England has no war chest to fall back upon The eX- planation is simple enough Engl@dd, being the richest country in 1iie World. her credit stands high l" alRoshe is able to raise vast silsoe551e l a moments no tice, says ''A |! london Daily News. ,,-t sEEs.Sfe Ease is different in France, where they have something like e70,000,000 worth of gold and 50,o00,o00 worth of silver ready for war time. The Austro- Hungarian bank possesses about 9 3o,- 000,000 for a like purpose, while Ger many clings to the old-fashioned sys- tenn of maintaining an actual war chest, containing e6,000,0o0, at the fortress of Spandau. It is also estimated that Russia has ready at least 100, 0,O00,000

There is at least s 155,- o0oo00 waiting for the time when the war clouds shall gather, and in great war it is tolerably certain it would all be spent.

ing night and day and order is fast
assuming shape, Last week the
amusement department completed ar
rangements with the Gaskill- Mundy-
Levitt Carnival company, the largest
and most complete amusement enter
prise in the country.
With this aggregation, for the Bur-
lington fall festival, will be the Bos-
took trained animals, the performances
being given in large circular steel
cage. There will be lion, leopard,
jaugar, puma and bear, acts. Lady
animal trainers will enter the arena
with wild beasts and subject them to
performance truly marvellous. The
Bostock animal acts are famous all
over the country and this feature alone
will be worth a visit to Burlington the
week of the Festival,
Among the other attractions will be
two Pan-American successes, the
House Upside Down and the Girl from
up There. These features at the great
Buffalo exposition were the best pat
ronized of the many on the midway.
A ferris wheel has been secured espec-
tally for the children. This will be a
novelty for Vermont and one that is
sure to become popular with the OPEN
ing of the festival A stadium or
streets of India will be another novelty
and one sure to be popular with the
visiting crowds. Then there will be
the Beautiful Orient, the German viii
lage, the Crystal Maze, the biograph
with the newest pictures and other
features. 1t will require three acres
of ground to accommodate the amuse-
ment attractions. To light the grounds
100 electric arc lights and 1900 incon-
descent lamps will be necessary.
Six free acts will be given twice
daily, every afternoon and evening.
Come and bring the family and spend
the week of August 81 to September 5
in the Queen City-the biggest week
for pleasure this section has ever
seen.

GOOD NEWS.
The NOrcrOss Brothers Assignment will Not
Affect Bennington County Industries.

The NOrcross Brothers Assignment will Not
Affect Bennington County Industries.
The assignment of Norcross Brothers
Company, the large contracting firm of
Worcester, Mass, does not affect the
property of the Norcross-W West Marble
company, which owns and operates
large mill at Manchester Depot and an
extensive quarry at South Dorset.
Work goes on as usual and will con-
tinue as long as there is a demand for
the marble, which is at the head of
building marble in this country. The
Manchester, Dorset and Granville
railroad, which was built as far as the
quarry at South Dorset last winter. is
owned principally by the marble com
pany.
1t is possible that the assignment
may delay somewhat the completion of
the Jennings mansion near North Ben
nington.
