Almost Ready to Start.

The planer and several machines are
already set up ready to run in the new
mill of Rogers & Wells. The main shaft
is in place and the other shafting is
going up,rapidly. Had it not been for a
veXatious delay in the shipping of GER
tain part of the upright shaft, the
wheels would have been started by this
time The roof was put on the first of
the week, and the works will start up
early next week, it is now expected.
The mill has been extended to the line
of Mill street, and the front on that
street will be used for the offices and the
paint salesroom. The first room from
Main street will he the company's Office,
and the second the private Office and the
office of the Middebury Electric Light
Co. The mill, when completed, will be
one Of the best in the state.

| m portant Business Change.

Frank A. Bond who, for the past 80
years, has been most intimately con-
nected with the business, social, political
and religious life of Middlebury, has
sold his large clothing business, so long
and favorably known as "Pine Hall, to
G. n. Atwood & Co., who will take
possession in the near future. The sale
is nearly as much a surprise to Mr. Bond
as to his host of friends. 1t was un-
sought by him, and he finally concluded
to sell this part of his business that he
might have partial respite from the
cares of his active life, a respite his
health demanded. His successors come
from Woodstock, but have beer engaged
very successfully in business in the
west Their love for the old Green
Mountain state led them to close out
their interests there and return to Yer
mont. After carefully investigating
the attractions offered by several places
they decided in favor of Middlebury.
The Register is pleased to state that
Mr.. Bond has no intention of leaving
Middlebury, but will devote his energies
to his other large interests here. He
will have an important announcement
to make to our readers soon that will be
sure to interest them one and all.

The Great Debate May g.

EDITOR REGISTER: The intercollegiate
debate to be held at the town hall on
Fri lay evening, May 8, is an event of
e.u =. onal interest, and am especially
dcsir is of calling the attention of our
townspeople to it. Dartmouth is "A great
debating center and the team she sends
will doubtless be one of proved strength.
am confident though, that our ownteam
will do full credit to itself and to the
college, and "A generous patronage will
be very gratifying. Debating is such a
fine form of student rivalry that on this
occasion of Middlebury's first entrance
into the intercollegiate field we should
surely be able to count with certainty on
the encouragement that numbers give.
The subject is live one, and the sixty
minutes of direct debate and thirty
minutes of rehuttal will leave few points
untouched Which side can win YER
dict from the Judges remains to be seen,
but, whatever the issue, am sure that
no one there that night will regret hav-
ing worn the Middlebury colors.

Great Fire at Rutland g.

Two business blocks, situated on the
west side of Merchants Row, Rutland,
and several store houses in the rear We're
destroyed by fire early the morning of
April 21 causing a loss of about so, 900.
The burned buildings were the Odd
Fellows block and the Dunn block. The
former was owned by j. +. Burton of
Middletown. The first two floors in
both buildings were occupied by stores
and offices The top floor of the odd
Fellows block was used by that order,
and the Neshohe club occupied the third
floor of the Dunn block. The owners
of the blocks estimate their loss at $50,
600 each.
Dunn Bros, hardware concern,
which occupied the first floor of the
Dunn block, lose about $1,000 on their
stock. About two-thirds of the total
loss is covered by insurance.
There We're three alarms rung in. The
fire was discovered by John Butler, a
railroad callboy.
A falling cornice struck Fire Chief
Dunton on the back as he was standing
on a ladder. He was quite severely
injured but refused to leave until the fire
was under control. The origin of the
fire is unknown but it is thought to have
been caused by crossed electric wires
| 1t is expected that the work of rebuild
ing will be begun at once.

OBITUARY..
TIMOTHY SULLIVAN.

Timothy Sullivan, whose funeral last
week at the Roman Catholic church was
one of the largest and most imposing
ever seen in Middlebury, was born in
Cornwall, VT, March 30, 1913. He was
born and reared as a farmer, and came
to Middlebury to reside while vet a
young man. In 1871 he married Mary
sullivan of this village, who was no re-
lation of his though bearing the same
name. Eight children, five sons and
three daughters We're the fruits of this
marriage. One died in infancy. and
one son, Daniel r., died lart year in
Boston. The six surviving children, in
order of ages, are James W., of Boston;
Mrs. j, w. Lawrence, Nelly A., William
H., Frank F., and Arthur r., all living
in Middlebury.
The deceased became employed in the
Italian Marble Co.'S works in this vii
lage, when its business first began here,
and remained in the employ of that con-
Germ until his death, always attentive to
duty and respected by his employers and
fellows.
lie was member of the Father DAILY
Council, No. 642, Knights of Columbus,
and of the local Labor Union, which or
ganizations turned out in force to honor
his obsequies. He was a man of power
full frame, and with a heart of size to
match his body, generous to a fault, ~
as Father Shannon said in his obituary
remarks, and one whose death while
yet in his prime will be long re-
gretted by many friends outside of his
immediate family. -

The fire in the "Kaneoga" flats in New
York Sunday night damaged the apart
ments of Burton Thompson, who lived
on the sixth floor of the building. A
letter received by Mrs. Robert Cartmell,
mother of Mrs. Thompson, Tuesday,
states that the family were at dinner at
$50 when there was a flash of light at
window As soon as they could get
their valuables together, they attempted
to leave the flat, but it was found inn
possible to go into the halls owing to
the dense black smoke. They then
made their escape to the roof and to an
adjoining building, and thence in safety
to the ground. The furnishing of their
rooms were ruined by the fire and
smoke, but their trunks and contents in
the basement, were saved. The other
tenants lost their baggage.

A FAITHFUL ROOSTER.

night ~barkeeper to a New Orleans
Times-D Democrat reporter, "andI had
a world Of fun out Of it, and met q

same time. The night before the
reunion opened up a great many
strangers who had not made arrange

ANCIENT HYGIENE.
Cleanliness and Healthful Diet In
sisted On Ages Ago.

sisted On Ages Ago.
Eyeuatthis late day, with the many
statements Of recent ana wonderful
alleged progress made in medicine
and surgery, there is nothing really
new under the sun. The diseases
which besetth human frame inthese
days afflicted the world 1900 years
ago and more, and the learned doc
tors Of that period treated them on
the same general principles, if not
with such full medical knowledge.
The Old Testament, says Health,
is full of commands Of great sanitary
value, and hey were an adaptation
of the medical knowledge of Egypt,
elaborated and developed. The law
provided for personal cleanliness, the
isolation Of cases Of infectious dis
eases, and healthful diet. BY pro-
hibiting the use of blood as food, it
held that there was a communicable
ity of disease between cattle and men.
as physicians even at this date are
upholding against DR.. Koch at Ber-
lin.
The law forbadeth the eating ofquad-
rupeds which did not divide the hoof
and chew the cud, thus b~espeaking
digestive qualities, enjoined the fight
ing of infectious diseases by fire, for
babe the use of food Of animals that
had died a natural death, of carbon
eating birds and of fish without
scales and fins.
The sanitation and hygiene Of the
Bible is ampliied and developed in
the Talmud which still gives by
gienic law to the Jews. How com
plete is this conception Of hygiene,
physiology and medicine inthis work
Of the pre-Christian era can be seen
by a few Of the diseases diagnosed in
the Talmud 1000 years before the
present time, when physicians are
still struggling with them. Malig-
nant throat trouble probably diph-
theria), jaundiee, collie, nervous pros
t%ration, hydrophobia, gastritis, nose
bleed, hemorrhage of the lungs, con-
g%estion Of the brain, dropsy, malaria,
opthalmia, commissions, tonsilitis,
cancer, govt, earache, toothache and
headache, and a thousand other ills.
In one placethe Talmud gives these
five symptoms Of rabies in a dog: Its
mouth is continually open, its saliva
flows freely, its ears dangle, its tail
is held between its legs and it walks
in by-paths. It is ordered that such
a dog be destroyed by meal of an
arrow or a knife thrown at it. Per
sonal contact with it must be
Stunned, because injury will be the
result of contact; death, that of a
bite"

IN THE STREET CAR.
A Good Place to Study Human Ma
ture--Why This Is So.

"The street car is a good place to
study human nature" said the OBJ
servant man to a New Orleans Times
Democrat reporter, "and there are
many reasons why this is so. In the
first place, if you want to study hui
man nature, you must get it hemmed
up for awhile, close in on it, as it were,
and hold it long enough to bring out
whatever specialized lines there may
be in the particular specimen. Short
human nature studies may be pursued
in the streets, but they are fashy, as
a rule, and such conclusions as one
may reach are not as safe as they
might be. 1t is different in the street
car. Theyare off dress parade. There
one may find somewhat Of the aban-
don of the home. Men and women
are themselves for a little while. AT
least, some Of them are. But the
chief advantage is in the fact that
the close observer has a chance to
scrutinize them; tostudy line and lig-
ament; to watch facial expressions;
to trace lip eccentricities; to see the
peculiar glancings Of the eye; to lis
ten to the chatter, and to thus getthe
mental bent of the individual. I'm
der the circumstances, the mar who
Is a close observer can easily develop
the more striking trait of the per-
son thus watched. And l may remark
that special writer's, men who do a
here and there stunt on newspapers,
men who write Of the odds and ends
of life, incident, humor, tragedy, his
tory, poetry, philosophy and other
things, men Of this kind are in the
habit of spending some time on street
cars every day just to get a line on
old human nature, and they always
get it,"

GOVERNMENT
A Consul's Experience and Some Ad-
vice to Young Lawyers.


How well | remember, writes J..
B. Osborne, in the Atlantic, the day
l Vas struck by government light
ningl 1t was the manner of my mott
fcation that was so delightful. I'm
conscious of the m|omentous event, |
was at home porting over the intrica-
cies of Blackstone, when an aggres-
sive ring at the doorbell interrupted
my train oflegal thought and in a mo-
ment a reporter on the Daily Record
stood before me with a telegram an
nouncing the appointment. He had
been sent to interview me about my
self and Client and Belgium and in
ternational relations. Verify l had
been magically transformed into a
parsonage whose opinions we're in
public demand! In gratitude for the
joyful tidings l responded glibly to
the Journalists interrogatories, and
he went on his way contented. When
the door closed | threw Blackstone
into the corner with a shout of tri-
umph.
But it was a mistake. In the light
Of experience, let me earnestly advise
any ambitious youth face to face with
the alternative that confronted me
that day, not to drop his law books for
the siren call of a consulship. :.
He will waste the most potential
years Of life in a more or less remote
place, amid more or less uncongenial
people, out Of touch with American
institutions and progress, and almost
forgotten by friends; and when final
ly his %precarious tenure of office is
determined, he will return to find him
self outstripped by his contempora-
ries, demoralized for competitive
work, and a laggard in the race. This
applies to the favored sons of for
tune as well as to those who must
"keep the pot boiling" but, of course,
emphatically to the latter.
