ANDREWS DRUG STORE, Bellows
Is the Newspaper Wanted u?

Do the public want a newspaper any
longer? Sometimes it seems as if the
New York Sunday editions indicated
that they do not. They seem to care
more for good story than for
whether it is correct or mere piece of
writing, ard the antics on a colored
cover attract purchasers more readily
than the prospect of adding to ones in
formation by reading what is within.
Magazines have undergone considerable
change in the last quarter century. They
are more sensational than they once
were. a new sort of colored picture,
especially if the buyer cannot tell how it
is made or what it represents, counts for
more than the text that happens to fall
around it, and the corSets, bath-tubs,
whole-piece drawers and undershirts,
ant-fat prescriptions and bust-promOt-
ing medicines are now the only part that
the publishers consider sufficiently at
tractive to send out with leaves cut. Per
haps the whole of the pri ter's art will
eventually be turned to providing that
which will amuse. But we have an idea
that by the time the drift is so strong
that way as to be observed by everybody,
the re will come back the real newspaper,
which will tell what has been happen
ing and do it in compact and readable
form.-Hartford Courant.

Fletcher of Cavendish.

The editor has received the following
letter:

the prospective candidates for governor.

Allen Fletcher would make Vermont a

Mr.. Fletcher would get very close to
the people were he made governor, no
doubt, and this office raises no objection
to his candidacy He stands head and
shoulders above the majority of the al

would please the politicians.
1t may not have occurred to the writer
of the above letter that this governor
question is still in the hands of the prac-
ticed and still practicing politician, but
it is and very much so.
A short time ago the politicians cried

Edward II. Shattuck, proprietor of the
Hotel Shattuck, Burlington committed
suicide Tuesday evening of last week by
shooting himself through the head. Mr..
Shattuck ate supper at the usual time
and the family noticed nothin unusual
in his actions. About 7 o'clock he left
the restaurant and it is supposed went
at once to his room and shot himself
An hour later Mrs. Shattuck went to the
room, which was dark, and in crossing
it came upon his dead body. Health
Officer Clark was summoned and found
that Mr.. Shattuck had shot himself with
a revolver, which he held in his right
hand. He had placed the weapon in his
mouth and pointed it upward. Death
was undoubtedly instantaneous. Two
chambers of the revolver were empty
but there were no indications that he
had used the weapon more than once.
The shot was not heard by any one in
the building. Mr.. Shattuck had not
been in good health for some time and
the cause of the suicide n ust be mat
ter of conjecture as he left no note or
other word of explanation.
A meeting of representatives from Bur-
lington, Plattsburgh and st. Adams base
ball people was held at the Owl club at
St. Adams last week for the purpose of
the formation of four team league
which will include Rutland. The fol-
lowing matters were agreed upon: To
adopt the Spaulding baseball, that each
team pay all of it's own expenses and
take all the gate receipts while at home,
and that the league agreement and the
schedule be drawn up at once by Presi-
dent Childs and submitted to each team
for its approval The committee voted
to adopt last years schedule for the sea-
son, the games beginning on June 20 and
finishing September 2. 1t is understood
that each team will post guarantee of
500 that the schedule as arranged will
be carried out, and forfeit of $50 is to
be placed on any team leaving the field
before the umpire decides the game fin
ished. Matters look very favorable now
for successful baseball season. The
name for the league has not been adopt
ed, but it probably will be THE North

There is a rumor in the middle west
tlat Mrs. Hetty Green will storm Newpoi
this summer, and appear in an entirely
new role, that of a lavish leader of society.
This may be true, and it certainly is pos
sible in one way, for Mrs. Green has the
necessary bank book, and money is the
cornerstone of Newport society. Mrs.
Green would be great attraction at the
Rhode Island national sideshow, as she
would furnish new sensation to the
millionaires. Mrs. Green is moral
woman, of the old New England type,
who believes in womanhood and man.
hood, and as a sensational contrast to
the famous Newport entertainer, Harry
Lehr, the-man-who- -like-a-dog, "
she should satisfy even the people who
had real monkey at their dinner table.
Mrs. Green has not proved lavish in her
social expenditures, but she has brains,
and that is what the Newport set needs
above everything. 1t would be good
thing if Mrs. Green spent summer
there, both for Mrs. Green and for New
port.-Springfeld Republican.
