John Shannon of Rutland, who holds
the Vermont state record for the num-
her of times sent to Jail, was SEN
fenced Saturday for the 1l1th time.
The offence this time was intoxication,
although the 1T convictions have COW
cred wide variety of crimes
Fire early Monday morning badly
damaged two blocks on Merchants
Row, Rutland, causing loss to prop,
erty and stock of $50, 600, well covered
by insurance. The Odd Fellows lost
paraphernalia and furniture worth 81,
300. The fire is supposed to have start
ed from an electric wire. Both blocks
will be rebuilt.
Mrs. Robert j. Cotfey. who has been
matron of the soldiers home at Ben
nington since its organization until last
July when she became an assistant,
and Miss Nellie j. Cotfey. who has
been clerk to the superintendent, have
resigned their positions. Miss Coffey
will be succeeded by Benjamin Han
non, son of the superintendent.
Katie Durkee, the three year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Aleck Dur
kee of Chittenden, was burned to death
Saturday. She was playing near a
bonfire which some of the other chill
dren had started when her clothing
caught. She was horribly burned be-
fore her mother succeeded in putting
out the flames and died in the after
noon.
Dr. William Thomas Councilman, the
Shattuck professor of pathological an
atomy in the Harvard medical school,
claims to have discovered the germ
that causes smallpox. The discovery
is pronounced by physicians who have
been made aware of DR.. Councilman S
achievements as one of the really great
ones in medical history and the most
important made in Boston, rivallng the
discovery of ether as an anesthetic.
A petition signed by 30 voters of Rut-
land has been presented to the mayor
of that city asking that a special city
meeting should be called to see wheth-
er licenses should be granted for the
sale of all kinds of intoxicating liquor
or of beer and malt liquors only. The
meeting will be called, but 10 licenses
have already been returned from the
secretary of state and turned over to
the grantees and it is claimed that the
licenses cannot be revoked except for
violations of their provisions so That II
is hard to see how they could be
stopped from selling liquor then, even
if the vote is in favor of beer licenses.
The petition was considered an attempt
to handicap the license board, hold up
the licenses already granted and delay
the opening of the saloons. The alder
men have decided not to hold the meet
ing until next year.

Up the state they are having an in
crease in the number of arrests for
drunkenness under the new licenses.
OF course there are two ways OF ac-
counting for this. One is that it is
due to the increased freedom OF liquor
under the new law and the other is
that the new law, being respected, is
being better enforced. 1t is said that
under the old law it was considered
policy to get drunken man home in
stead of arresting him, the disclosure
feature being often undesirable But
concealment and evasion were the pol
icy of prohibition. Honesty is the
policy now, and it is surely the best
policy.

In connection with the recent issu-
ance by the state board of agriculture
of pamphlets advertising Vermont $
abandoned farms" to seekers for
summer homes, quite an argument has
ensued among state newspapers over
the much abused subject of free ad-
yertising Publishers of country news
papers are beginning to see that since
their advertising space is the bulk of
their stock in trade, there really is no
reason why they should contribute it
to every cause that happens to be good
unless they choose to make personal
contribution, as other business men
sometimes do. Carpenters and masons
are not expected to give their work in
the building of churches and schools
although these are good causes of gen.
eral advancement and there is no more
reason why newspapers should give
advertising space than that a merchant
should give his goods to the same
cause. And, anyway, the state board
of agriculture isn't an object of char
ity. 1t is supported by the state and
the state is supported by the taxpayers
to which class the newspaper men pre-
sumably belong. There is really no &C.
casion for donations of any sort to the
state board of agriculture. 1t can pay
for any advertising it sees fit to have
done. But the papers are all glad to
chronicle as news, and good news it
is too-such effort as the board is now
making to boom Vermont's interests.

Mr.. Frank Wooley, 70 Central Avenue,

lungs, and as my family history from "a
brother and sister having died at COM
paratively early age from phthisis, | be-

the pains in my right lung were intense,
mainly at night. On or about December
a newspaper friend enthusiastically
recommended Blood Wine, and acting
upon his advice procured bottle at VIM.

stopped the hacking cough that accom-,
panied my cold, and before the second

itself, l am entirely free of every feature
of the ailment that at the outset threatened
to throw me into consumption.

A large part of Cuttingsville, vii
lage 10 miles south of Rutland, was
burned Sunday night. Among the
buildings swept away were the Union
hotel and Stewards store. Fire appa-
ratus and men were sent from Rut-

The losses are placed at $4,000, with
partial insurance.

The application of the new license
law is making things lively in Yer
mont these days. Every week new COM
plications and unexpected conditions
arise and the people are brushing the
cobwebs out of their brains and acquir-
ing the habit of thinking. And in
every case it is plainly shown that the
people of Vermont are capable OF
smoothing out complications and Of
coping with freak conditions. Every
time, they decide promptly for law
and order. They are tired of subter-
fuge and falsehood and evasions.

wbsrs II Will Do the Most Good.

Some of the state papers called the
Reformer stingy last fall when it OBJ
iected to a legislative appropriation
for state representation at the st.
Louis exposition on the ground that
the money could be expended within
the state to better purpose. But dur
ing the past week several OF them have
arrived at the conclusion that worlds
fairs come too frequently to be OF val
ue and that the state can be better
advertised in other ways. The Rut-
land News would boom the state as
summer resort and the st. Adams
Messenger thinks more money should
be spent right at home and more de
voted to advertising the peculiar re-
sources of the state among the people
near by who would be most likely to
nav attention to the advertising and
do business with US because OF it, 1t
says:
Twenty thousand dollars spent 10
this way in New York city Will do
more good than fifty thousand spent
in state building, a can OF maple
syrup, a jar of picked beets, marble
or granite paperweight or two, Brat,
tleboro melodeon, visitors book and
a pair of yarn mittens at st. Louis
The Reformer is glad to see its old
arguments thus endorsed even at this
late day since they are undeniably
sound. Vermont has no money to
throw away in mere outside show.
She needs every dollar applied where
it will do the most good in building
up her industries, advertising her pro-
ducts and increasing her natural ad-
vantages as place of residence.

Andrew Carnegie pays a great trib-
ute to Booker 7. Washington, in con-
nection with his 5000, 900 gift to Tus-
kegee Institute. He couples his name
wit that of the other Washington, and
9TH, he says, are fathers of their peo-
BILE. He calls him the modern Moses,
lifting and leading his race up through
education to higher and better things
than a land of milk and honey. And
he finds happiness in being able to
free such man from pecuniary care so
that he may devote himself to his
great mission. The library gifts of
Andrew Carnegie have had but color
less meaning for the public generally
perhaps because they have been so
many and so similar in nature: but this
gift is one that will be gratefully rec
ognized by the whole world as NOBLE
contribution to noble cause.

After all the agitation and alarm OF
the race suicide discussion and the
subsequent boom of the triplet indus
try, it is soothing and reassuring to
learn from the United States census
that the birth rate for the whole coun-
try in 1900 was 27.2 per thousand,
against &c. in 1890. In New York and
the New England states it was %. 3 In
1900 against %. in 1890.

Why have any rule about it, any
way, either promotion" or mon
promotion? The thing of Importance
is to have a good and able man in the
states highest executive position; and
the fact that he has or has not been
lieutenant governor should not figure
in our choice. But no man should be
elected lieutenant-governo of the state
unless he is deemed fit to be governor.

STOLE HIS GIRLS FATHER.
Embarrassing Mistake Made by Es.
cujmau Lover

Embarrassing Mistake Made by Is.
cuimau Lover.
The Duke of the Abruzzi brought
back with him from his polar expedi.
tion number CT Esquimau stories.
One of these concerns young Es-
quimau who loved the daughter of
an enemy. The two huts of these
persons were close together, but one
night the terrific cold ripped a great
crevasse in the ice, and the young
mans house was left isolated. A
gorge 100 feet deep and twenty feet
wide separated it from the igloo, or
hut containing the girl, but there was
a narrow bridge Of ice let across the
crevasse, and this, the young man
found, would bear his weight.
Esquimaus sleep in bags. The lover
decided that he would that night
cross the ice bridge, steal the maiden
he loved, bear her to his hut, and
then break down the bridge so that
he and she together might enjoy
their honeymoon unmolested.
He planned very successfully. He
crcpt, in the dead Of night, into his
enemy's hut; he snatched up the
maiden in her sack without awakine
any ore; he bore her over the ice
bridge safely, and then he opened the
sack to embrace his bride. But, be-
holding its contents, he gave loud
cry. 1t was not the maiden, but hel
father, that he had stolen.

They Must Have Good Looks Nova.
days as Well as Good Muscles.
There is a new kind of circus girl,
just as there is new chorus girl: The
latest thing in chorus girls is slight
and piquant, and in marked physical
contrast to the opulent, stalwart beau
ty who was formerly considered the
only type adapted to stage display.
The new kind of circus girl is strjk-
ing principally on account OF her in
creased comeliness. The hard-faced.
dyed.haired rider with her set smile
and CHASTITY little coquettries is d
thing OF the past.
The women are nowadays fresher,
plettier and nearly always better
d. essed than they ever were in the
past Comeliness seems to be regard
ed now as important as their. athletic
skill.
One very mediocre acrobat was a
woman called the Beautiful Geral-
dine" who was successful ten years
age from one end of Europe to the
ether, not because she was skillful in
her work, but because Of her supposed
~ great beauty. Yet to-day she would
rot seem so much above the average
OF looks at the Madison Square Gar.
Gen.
Their dressing is also more tasteful
IN its colors and the women who this
year ride in habits are in every way
smarter looking than they were in tie
past. But It. Is her looks that differen-
tate the present-day circus girl from
her predecessors. She is rapidly be.
coming thing Of beauty as well as Of
muscle and daring-New York Sun.
