HERE is good news for Quintinoak.
Rabbit stock ought to go up. An
English professor explodes the theory
that fish is the most valuable brain
producing food. He says there is
more phosphorus, or brain food, in q
rabbit than in a fish-not even TAX
ing into account the size Of the fish.
Rabbit seines, no doubt, will come
down from their hooks now.

SWINDLERS IN VERMONT.

Fairfax, Feb. About ten days
ago man calling his name Smith,
and claiming to represent general
merchandise house in Boston, called
on the farmers of this town and Fair
field, soliciting orders for ready made
clothing, dry goods, groceries, ETC.,
and asking for an advance of 50 on a
suit of clothes and promised to deliver
the same at their nearest express office
on Monday, Feb. 2. No one has seen
their goods yet and many are the anx-
ious customers In some houses he
took several orders and as high as $50
was advanced by some families. In
quiry in Boston at the street and num-
Der given, reveals the fact that they
have no stock and they refuse to sell
clothing there, but when pressed the
man and woman who occupy the

AS TO A TEN CENT FARE.

Is there any clause or section in
the electric railways franchise that
specifies what fares the managers shall
charge? If not, is gable on a
knoll" to be given the binding force
and effect of written obligationY A
corporation is hound-when it can
be controlled at abby the require
ments written into its charter, If the
, corporators of the Barre and Montpel-
Ter Power and Traction company,
when they were seeking franchise
from the city of Montpelier, were
violently determined to make the fare
between Montpelier and Barre five
cents, and in reply to the suggestion
of Montpelier that they could not
afford to make so low fare said that
was their lookout, and the too confid-
ing people of MONTPELIER neglected to
write that condition into the franchise
they were giving the company, to one
not versed in the law it looks to be
rather late in the day to fall back on
the talk of the time for legal obli-
CATION to continue the five cent fare
to Barre. The company may or may
not increase its revenue by doubling
the fare. 1t may or may not be
morally bound to continue to do what
it professed to believe it could do in
the matter of fares. but which seemed
clear to the beneficiaries of low fare
it could not afford to do. the benef-
Charles neglected to safeguard the
benefit thrust upon them. released the
company from one obligation and
another in respect of its routes through
the city. and now can the company be
lawfully compelled to abide by more
than the rump Of obligations in it's
written charter?
1t is generally conceded that a ten
cent fare between the two cities is low
enough, from a business point of
view. This being the case, in the
absence of any specific requirement in
the charter that the company shall
maintain a five cent fare between the
points in question, what use is there
in wasting time and money TO compel
the road TO do thing the complain
ant was not astute enough, when it
had the opportunity, to nominate it
in the bond ?

The Result by Counties. An
Interesting Comparison.

High license-local option won in
Vermont Tuesday by majority
which may be placed between 1926 and
1900 in total vote of approximately
go, 600. The results obtained from
various sources differ somewhat and
in all probability the exact figures
will not be known until the official
returns are announced by the secretary
of state. This official is directed
by the new law to canvass the returns
on February - and announce the re-
suit not later than two days there
after The associated press reports
that night gave the majority at 1 ,642,
while the reports received by the
State press lower this by about 500
votes. The morning Free Press
gives the majority at 1859, the st.
Adams Messenger special morning
edition makes it l, 125 and the Journal
special morning edition placed it
at 1, 1877 and though later returns may
change these figures somewhat they
are as reliable as could be obtained.
1t will be seen by the summary by
counties that the mountain line marks
boundaries of sent iment concerning the
liquor question as it does in other
matters. Rutland county gave the
heaviest vote and the largest majority
for license, and entirely contrary to
expectations Windsor county gave the
largest vote against the bill.
The total vote was about 10 ,0G0 less
than was cast at the September cleo
ton.
The following result by counties is
| from later returns.

OPPOSE HOBSON.

Washington, Feb. 4.-No action has
been taken by the navy department or
the President on the letter of resigna-
ton received from Naval Constructor
Richmond p. Hobson. There is dis
position in the department to oppose
acceptance of the resignation. The
construction corps has too few officers
to do the vast amount of work re-
quired, and it's embarrassment has
been made greater by the fact that
three constructors have resigned since
July of last year. In the opinion of
some of the navy department Mr..
Hobson has been treated with great
lenity and now that his services are
urgently needed it would be unwise to
permit him to leave the navy.

CASES CONTINUED.

The city court room was crowded

were to be arraigned for robbing the
cash drawer of l.. M. Cameron S
creamery. The boys were all pres
ent with long countenances which
showed that the proceedings there
were not part of the fun they had
planned ON.
A plea of guilty of petit larcenyswas
was entered in all the cases.
The court ascertained that the
ages of the boys were ten years each,
except Win slow Provost, who is thir-
teen, and then on recommend alton of
Fred l.. Laird, also appearing for the
State, continued the cases. until Feb

which was furnished by +. p. Garlic

Whether arrangements will be made
to reimburse Mr.. Cameron for his

low an attack of influenza are not yet

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

The statehood fight in the Senate has
grown into one of the bitterest con-
tentions of re cent years. Senator Quay
announces that he will stop at nothing
to win his struggle for statehood for
OKLA oma, Arizona and New Mexico,
and Senator HaDna and the other Re-
publican leaders pronounce the meth
DDS of the Pennsylvania Senator reac.
tionary and almost revolutionary and
say that they will not hesitate to pre-
cipitate au extra session of Congress if
that becomes necessary to prevent the
success of Senator Quay's program.
At present the indications are that
nothing short of an extra session will
accomplish the defeat of the carefully
laid plans of the willy Pennyslvanian,
and his accomplished co-worker, SEN
ator Foraker of Ohio.
Senator Quay 8 latest move has
been to attach the statehood bill to
the agricultural appropriation bill,
which was accomplished on Saturday,
but he has also given notice that he
will attach it to the sundry civil and
the post-office appropriation bills. So
long as he maintains his majority in
the Senate, which now numbers about
twelve, there will be no possibility Of
defeating him except by talking to
death those appropriation bills to
which he attaches his obnoxious meas
ure. This, Senators Aldrich, Lodge,
Hanna, Platt of Connecticut, and 9TH
er leaders of the party declare they are
prepared to do if no othe- method of
preventing the admission of the terri
tories presents itself.

announced. Marshfield was the first
town heard from and when the Jour-

required that the box be kept open

three other towns in Washington

day Isadore Conn., a member from New

includes spinsters as we'll as bachel-

this bill woman is immune from
taxation until she reaches the age of
thirty five, then for fifteen years she
must pay for the privilege of being
an old maid. The taxable period of
man S life is from forty to sixty
five. The assessment is fixed at $50

1ROOPS NAY GO.

Waterbury, Conn, Feb. A. THE in
situation yesterday was the announce
ment that another day might witness
the withdrawal from Waterbury of a
part of the State troops. Governor
Chamberlin announced that he had
decided to cause the soldiers to remain
in Waterbury until tonight at least.
During the early night the militia
were able to keep down the turbulent
spirits except in the matter of stone
throwing Two men were arrested for
this offense.
Late last night the details of an in
cident of the day leaked out in which
private of Company G, I'd regiment.
Robert Duncan, was more or less
seriously injured in an encounter with
rioters while on patrol duty. The
man $ condition was such that it was
deemed advisable to send him to his
home in New Haven.
In spite of the admirable policing
in the center of the city that section
was not without its sensational in
cident. This time, however, it was
the strikers and Their patrons who
were the victims. A crowd which
had gathered near the Waterbury club
attacked a union bus with stones.
Patrick Flynn, striker, acting as
conductor of the bus, was struck on
/ the head. OF the twelve passengers
/ in the vehicle, nine of whom were
women, two We're hit. No trolley
car was in the>locality and TO those
who witnessed the affair it seemed
apparent that the attack was directed
against the striking union men.
