Tough for Weary WilIies.

Our neighbor up the line, The Yer
mont Union Signal, the state organ of
organized labor, INDUCES in Utopian
dream. 1t thinks the time is coming when
every man can secure work who desires
it or who is compelled to work by neces-
sity. 1t takes good deal of necessity to
compel some men to work. Farmers all
over Vermont, and the same is probably
true of other states, are crying long and
loud for help, but there are none to assist
notwithstanding thousands of shiftless
specimens are tramping about the coun-
try and asking for charity on the ground
that they cannot secure work. If told
where work can be secured they make
tracks in the opposite direction. If
organized labor could force these fellows
to work as opportunity presents it would
do society lasting favor, but cause

George A. Clark.

The following extract from notice. of
the funeral Of George A. Clark at Hol-
yoke, Mass, is taken from the Spring
field Republican of Wednesday, May 6.
Mr.. Clark was former resident of Bel
lows Falls, son of A. S. Clark of the
firm of Clark & Chapman, owners of the
the machine shop here owned later by
Osgood & Barker.
The funeral of George A. Clark, for
nearly p years treasurer of the Newton
Paper company, and for 10 years deacon
in the Second Congregational church,
was held yesterday afternoon at the
house, 245 Beech street, Holyoke. The
funeral was largely attended, many of
Holyoke's best-known business men and
manufacturers being present and the
floral tributes being numerous and
costly. A mixed quartet sang several
selections and the services were con-
Quoted jointly by Rev. j. II. Lock
wood of Westtield and Rev. DR.. E. A.
Reed of Holyoke. DR.. Reeds remarks
were delivered with deep feeling.
George A. Clark was born in Huh
bardSton, October II, 1S47. His family
removed from there to Bellows Falls
when he was two years old, where he
attended the public schools, and later
took course Of study at Kimball Union
academy at Meriden, n. II. He went to
Holyoke when IS years of age, and
entered the franklin paper mill to learn
the business, under the advice of James
ID. Newton, and after learning it was for
a short time superintendent. The New
ton paper company was organized in
1876, and he was connected with it from
the start, being secretary for short
time, and then being appointed treasurer,
a position which he had held ever since.
lie also had for while the management
of the Clark Machine company of Tur-
ner's Falls, and was highly successful in
his business administration. His con-
nection with the Home and the People

married to Miss Ellen Dibble of West
field in 1884, by whom he had five chill
dren, John G., Ruth, Rachel, Marion and
George A. Mrs. Clark died in 1891, and

Made Drunken Assault.

Frank A. Larrow, salesman for a
wholesale liquor house and formerly
proprietor of a hotel in Guilford, was
before the district court in Greenfield,
Mass, Saturday afternoon on the charge
of assaulting his wife, Angelina Larrow,
at Guilford Friday night and attempting
to mMrder her.
Larrow was arrested in Greenfield Sat
urday morning by Patrolman Wilcox on
complaint telephoned to him from
Brattleboro by Chief of Police Hall.
The only question which the local court
could pass upon was whether Larrow
should be held for extradition papers
from Governor Mccullough of Vermont.
Larrow's counsel moved to quash the
complaint issued by the local court on
the ground that it did not set forth that
there was an indictment or complaint
against Larrow issued in another state
This was overruled by Judge Lyman and
bail fixed at $4,000. In default, Larrow
went to Jail. Larrow finally consented
to 90 to Brattleboro without reuuiSition
papers and did so.
The Vermont authorities gave this YER
sion of the alleged assault for which Lar
row is wanted: Larrow and his wife
separated about May and the wife is
an applicant for limited divorce. She
asked for alimomy of SIS week. Be-
cause of alleged threats made by Lar
row, Judge Tyler of Brattleboro had is
| sued an order restraining Larrow from
interfering with the personal liberty of
the wife and an arrangement by counsel
had been made whereby almony of S35
month was to be given her.
! Larrow wanted a full divorce and
after drinking, drove out to Algiers Fri
day night and, according to the officers,
! brutally assaulted his wife because she
would not consent to a full divorce
! Neighbors took hand, the woman es-
capped and Larrow secured an axe and
threatened to make things lively for those
who had taken the part of his wifi +.
Taking his eight-year-old son Larrow
then drove to Greenfield and his arrest
followed.
Papers were issued in Brattleboro by
States Attorney Schwenk, charging as
sault with intent to kill. The boy was
taken back to his mother at Brattleboro
during the day.

Bishop SpauldiNs on Labor

Bishop Sparkling, one of the commits
sion to investigate the anthracite coal
strike las said some sensible things re-
garding labor and labor unions. For ex-
ample: THE root OF our Industrial
trouble is, the &erce competitive system
under which we live, and which results
fEom over capitalization and oveH-pro-
duction. Some of our greatest industries
are capitalized at four or five times, their
real value, and every possible device is
resorted to in order to pay dividends on
watered stock The oateome of this will
be, sooner or later, disaster.
1--WE need not so mach new measures,
but new heart. In our labor difficult
ties the moralization of both employers
and employees is an Indispensable condi-
tion in the bringing about of better
state of things.
"And since the employers are fewer in
number and presumably more intelligent
than are the laborerS, the chief effort
should be to give them new minds and
new hearts, that they may understand
that they are trustees not less of public
interests than of private interests and
least, are as sacred as are the rights of
owners.
"Just as the union is recognized, just
to that extent it is forced into RESPONSE
bilities which it could not shirk if it
would. The time may come when it will
be advisable to incorporate unions, but
it is not yet here; it is enough that union
labor is recognizing that the union which
repudiates it's contracts literally kills
itself.
''Today the trades union needs to be
counseled to more conservative policy
with reference to men and things. 1t
needs to modify it's attitude toward the
non-union man; to temper it's aversions
to new inventions; to curb its disposition
to limit output, to discourage the most
efficient workers, and to resort to the
sympathetic strike and the criminal boy
colt.
American laborers are not socialists,
much less are they anarchists; they are
for the most part religious, law-abiding
men, and unonism az it exists today in
the United States is a beneficent and con-
sentative force, and where the unions are
strongest their influence is most helpful.
1.-THE church should do what it is pos
sible for it to do to improve the civil and
. economic condition of the people, but it
will work more effectively by eliminat-
ing and purifying its own members, by
inspiring them with an eager desire to
be of help; to labor disintereStedly to
lessen the sin and sorrow and suffering
of men,

| weeping and crashing among the weary
brethren. The Signal says:
The union labor movement is respon-
sible for the prosperity of the country.
There is not man in the country who
can logically contradict it. The lessen
ing of the hours for days work has
taken the formerly idle men from the
ranks of the unemployed. 1t has divided
the work to be done among all those
who have no means of Subsistence accu-
mulated, and that has given better wages
than formerly and the better wages have
increased consumption and given great
er volume to commerce. The fewer
hours for days work for each person
minimizes the desire of the wage earners
to engage in commercial or manufacture
ing lines for themselves. This leaves
field moEe prolific of good results for
those engaged in traffic and thus the bet
ter conditions prevail. The time will
come when the industrial conditions will
be so simplf6ed as to- leave no man with
out work when he desires to work or
when necessity compels.

Powers Testimonials.

r. Akirk lller in Physical Culture,
winch, by the way, is magazine, takes
the patent medicine" career of Hon, II.
Henry Powers for a subject and treats il
IN a humorous and entertaining sort of
way. According to Her, the ex-con-
gresham has "doSed' himself almost
since he peeped over the sides of the
cradle. Her says: "The early part of

Her says that this testimonial elected

sentative, state senator and Judge of the
supreme court.
The judges next dose of patent
medicine was when he was cured by
Greene's Nervura.
lller says that the Nervura testimonial

capital.
Her continues: Under his (Powersl

a omaly, the more the congressman
protested being cured, the more feeble
they grew, and stimulated by the exam
pie of MIR. Powers, there are now over so

Powers tried to make Peruna the
national tonic" asserts Her. The presi-
dent was opposed to this movement as
he had accepted Moxie Nerve Food for a
tonic and believed his judgment was
better than that of the man from Yer
mont.
Iller concludes his autobiography of
the sx-judge and ex-congressman by
saying:
Powers term expired in 1901, and
his constituents failed to return him to
congress. They claimed that man may
have pains all the time, that he may get
rid of all the pains some of the time, but
they doubted Powers when he got cured
of all bis pains all the time
If Llter is correct the Powers, patent
medicine testimonials were his undoing
as national politician.
His retirement from congress, how
ever, is attributed to another cause by
the majority of Kermonters. Essex

A PaIatial Saloon.

For harmony of color, light and fur
nishing with the general arrangements
the business place of John III. Dugan of
Center street in Rutland will probably
surpass the attempt of any Vermont
liquor dealer. In conformity to the
statutes the store is so arranged as to
offer full view of the interior from the
street and attracts the attention of every
passing pedestrian. To the right of the
entrance are combination show cases,
and on either side are swell front wall
cabinets. Ten oil paintings arrest the
eye in pleasing effect with steel panels
representing spring and autumn. The
statues of Bachus and Bachanti, the god
and goddess of wine, and the figure of
Turkish maiden are respondent with
small incandescent lamps. Vases of
roses and carnations alternate with the
paintings, two of the receptacles for the
flowers being imported work of old pot
tiers, while here and there are rare pieces
of bric-a-brac. The cases used for the
display of goods are of oak and black
ash and were made to order for Mr.. Du-
gan by the Brunswick Bake company of
New Y ork. The ceiling is of steel and
the floor tiled with inlaid linoleum, and
the lighting is by clusters of electric
lamps covered by jackets of cut glass.
Mr.. Dugan was remembered by several
friends in and out of the city on the oc-
casion of his opening recently by fine
floral pieces. Vermont Union Signal.

Mixed paint is the same as watered milk
1t seems to be cheap, but it isn't. Devoe

than lead and oil.
The cheapest paint in the world made by

The Mortified News thinks that the
United States government ought to pay
for what advertising it wants and not
send newspaper publishers requests for
gratuitous booming. This sounds like
business and the motion ought to pre-
vail but will not until the legislature has
been educated little more. But why
not go a little further. Why should the
general government pay for its advertis-
ing. Publishers are continually receiv-
ing requests to publish certain matters
providing it can be done without cost to
this or that department. The News
continues: "This unwarranted burden
on the publishers of the state, who prob
ably receive less compensation for their
exacting work and capital invested than
almost any other class of business or
professional men, will continue to il
crease until they take the matter up
either as an association or individuals
and put stop to it. If any apology is
needed to the reader for talking shop in
the editorial columns it may be said that
the matter is presented in the interests
of better newspapers which must be the
inevitable result of fair compensation
for state advertising"
