The great strike of skilled mechanics
in New York has been settled and the
walking delegate abolished. The strike
at Barre and Montpelier has been
settled on the same principal, viz. That
each locality should settle all its diff

This is right. There would be far less
friction between organized labor and
employers if the principle of "home
rule" was applied, and outsiders. who do
not understand the local situation had to

Fall Festival for urlinq TO n Z.

The proposed event promises to eclipse
all previous amusement undertakings in
the Queen City. Following the pace set
by western and southern cities of late
years, the business men of Burlington
propose to give Fall Festival, the date
of which will be announced in few
days. 1t is the desire on the part of the
promoters to make the Festival an indus
trial event as well as one of amusement.
1t may be said at this time that the date
will not be later than the first week in
September, when it will be possible to
secure many of the greater attrac tons
which will take part in the big Hamil
ton, Can, Festival, which occurs the
middle of August
c. A. Barber, one of Burington's
leading merchants, has the affair in
charge, and is organizing a company of
the leading business men to further the
event. 1t is planned to cover wide
territory and to bring to Burlington as
many people as possible for the purpose
leading and the largest city in Vermont
Ii is thought to be an excellent plan to
make the visitors, during the week of
the Festival familiar with the educa-
tional. business and industrial features
of the city, and every facility possible
will be brought to bear in order to carry
out this plan. Amusements of nearly
every description will be provided for
the entertainment of the visitors, and
the week promises to be gala one.
Arrangements are being made with all
the railroads in the state and the steam
boat lines ON Lake Champlain for low
rates throughout the week and for
special excursions ON certain days of the
week. Gov. Mccullough is to be in
vited to open the Festival, and the digni-
taries of both state and city are to be
asked to be present. Each day of the
week will be given to particular feat
ure and there will be no day on which
the visitor will not find himself amply
repaid for his visit to the Queen City.

HAY FEVER ABOLISHED.
Relief for This Malady Discovered by
Medical Science-Breathe Hyomei.

Among the important additions made
to medical science in recent years, none
is more notable than the positive an
nouncement of cure for hay fever.
While this disease is not regarded as
fatal, it is certainly a most distressing
malady, and if anything can be devised
to cure it, great boon will be conferred
upon the human race.
Exhaustive experiments with Hyomei
prove that this treatment will prevent
all attacks of hay fever if used two
or three weeks before the annual APP
pearance of the disease and that it may
be relied upon if used faithfully after the
disease has begnn, to relieve at once and
afford speedy cure.
w. II. Sheldon has sold hundreds of
Hyomei outfits for the treatment of
diseases of the respiratory organs under
the agreement to refund the money if
Hyomei did not afford relief.
In selling Hyomei for the cure of hay
fever, he will continue this equitable
plan, and want all who are subject to
this distressing malady to begin its use
at once, with the understanding that if
it does not give satisfaction, the pur-
chase price is to be refunded.
Stomach dosing cannot cure hay fever.
A change climate is the only treatment
that has heretofore aborted an attack,
and Hyomei, which is breathed through
a neat pocket inhaler coming with every
outfit, acts upon this principal giving in
your own home a climate like that of
! the White Mountains or other health
resorts.
