THE GIRL WHO WON'T OBEY.

They have the new woman in Yer.
mont, too. A girl in Rutland has just
thrown over the glories of church
wedding rather than promise to obey
the man she stands ready to marry.
First she applied to her rector and
then to her bishop to have the horrid
word dropped from the service for her
benefit. AS they refused she is ac-
tually going to be married at home by
a Oongregationalist. The bridegroom.
being an editor and philosopher,
says it is all one to him; he did not
expect the girl to obey, and is glad to
get her on any terms whatever. Such
diplomatic talent as that is wasted in
private station. The young man should
be sent to ST. Petersburg. The girl,
by the way, is the daughter of the
man who killed prohibition in Yer
mont and conducted the sturdiest sort
of fight for governorship. Evidently
she has inherited the Clement spunk
and ability to know what she believes
in. Brooklyn Eagle.

A GOOD WORD FOR STANTON.

And Brother Stanton, they say, is
getting to be good shot also, and
makes some notable hits This does
not surprise his old friends and school
mates in the least. Some of us know
how he used to hunt hedgehogs. We
doubt not his personal influence was
an aid to the farmers at the last SEES
sion while they incubated the large
flock of the quill possessors. Proctor
and Stanton running mates at all the
fairs and shows in 1908 may be a
promise of what will mark the year
1904 in Vermont. We have not yet
cast overheard the mountain rule, "
but we see no reason why Judge Stan
ton should be ruled out in 1904 just be-
cause he was lieutenant governor in
1902 neither is that any reason why
the man who is lieutenant governor
should be considered as having &
mortgage ON the position next in line
Capacity should be more weighty
condition than availability, although
in worlds politics of today the lattel
element largely handicaps all others.

Mortified, Sept Carl f. Fields.
son of Dana V. and Laura A. Fields,
died on Monday morning of consump-
ton at the home of his father in
this town, in his twenty ninth year. He
was born in Worcester, VT. but North
field had been his home from the age
of six months with the exception of
periods of employment in Boston and
the south. He was graduate of
the high school and had been en-
ployed as clerk in the stores of M. ]

III health in the last two years COM
PEELED him to change his vocation and
he sought improved health in work
from Washington, d. c., to Florida,
during the past winter. In the early
spring he returned 20 his home here
to await death. He was young man
of sterling character and held in
high esteem in Mortified as we'll as
in all other places where he was
known. He was a member of the Y.
M. O. A. and secretary of the Sunday
school which he attended in Somer-
vile, Mass. In Mortified today many
are feeling the especial sadness that SO
young and worthy life should thus
go out, The sympathy of the COM
munity is with the afflicted parents.
Mr.. Field was born, September 81,
1874. He leaves, besides father and
mother, one brother, e. l.. Field,
merchant of this town, and sister,
Miss Lillian. The funeral will be

The second concert by the boy choir
of Bethany church and the Wilder
Orchestra was held at the church on
Monday evening, and was attended by
an audience of more than 300. The
program as Published was carried out
and every number was thoroughly APP
preciated and enjoyed. 1t was a
pleasure to see and hear Mr.. w. A.
Briggs at his old place again and his
two organ selections were very enjoy
able features of the evening. He also
accompanied Mr.. Wilder in his flute
solo which was as usual beautifully
rendered and which called out IA hearty
encore. Mr.. A. M. Perry, with Mr.
Wilder as accompanist, gave violin
solo in splendid style and responded
to an encore. The reverie, 1.-THE
Wayside Chapel" by the orchestra
ana organ in which the church bell
was tolled, was one of the most pleas
ing numbers of the evening. Maude

lections in the pleasing manner that
has made her a very popular enter.

the boy choir under the direction Of
Mr. Il. h. Merrill was greatly en-
joyed Altogether it was one OF the
kind of concerts that always pleases

series.

MONTPELIER SEMINARY.

Montpelier Seminary began another
year of its school historyT uesday when
the opening exercises of the fall term
we're held in the chapel. These COM
menced at 10 O'Clock and there was a
large attendance of both old and new
students but as a great many have not
yet arrived. and some have not regis
tered, it is impossible to give the
registration today. The term began
with simple chapel exercises consist
ing of singing with Bible reading,
prayer and an address to the student
by Principal Howe. The faculty of the
school occupied seats on the platform.
Principal Howe spoke at considerable
length on school life>in general. He
urged the cultivation of the school
spirit, which he quoted President
Tucker of Dartmouth in defining as the
contribution of the student to the
school, and spoke of various WAYS
in which it could be manifested. He
said he believed in athletics thorough
ly, but not so much because of the
physical benefits as because athletics
teach each one to do something well.
He urged loyal support of the athletic
teams in defeat as well as victory.
The new principal was closely listened
to and heartily applauded by the stu
dents. No class work was done to-
day the time being devoted to regis
tratioh and preliminary work. The
regular class work will be taken up
tomorrow.
At the close of the chapel exercises
the athletic association held a meet
ing at which talks were given by
some of the leaders in athletics and
by alumni.
The faculty of the Seminary is now
as follows: f. M. Howe, acting
principal and teacher of mathematics {;

DELIGHTFUL MUSICALE

The Misses Camp invited company
of mutual friends and acquaintance
to their home last evening to listen
to varied program of musical selec
tions, rendered by Mr.. +. W. Bancroft
of Boston, Miss Laura Rugg assisting
as accompanies. Following is the
program

Mr.. Bancroft has rarely pleased his
old home friends and admirers better
than on this occasion The selections
gave wide range for the display of
his musical talents and training, and
| in all his memberships power to enter
tain was supreme. He sang always
with perfect finish and with the
beauty and sweetness, the spirit and
expression, of the master of his art.
Miss Rugg is an accomplished ac-
companist. Her part in the evening S
entertainment was taken with the
skill that contributed to its perfect sat
isfaction. A composition of her own
was welcomed with many expressions
of pleasure, both on the score of the
merit of the piece and the beauty of
its performance.
The Misses Camp very delightfully."-
entertained their guests ON this &C.
casion. and the latter will long re-
member the evening of rare and va
ried enjoyment spent at their home
with its associations of genuine old
time hospitality.

RESTORE THE ARMY oANTEEN

General Grant does not name any
Texas towns this time, for the people
of one place near an army post have
been trying to sue him for libel, but
in his plea for the restoration of the
canteen he says: TO close the doors
of the soldiers garrison club and send
him out into the haunts of iniquity
and vice, run by moral vultures. is
wrong TO the soldier as we'll as
wrong to the community in which the
soldier is located ~ General Grant
is but one among some thousands of
officers of our army, and we doubt if
among all the others so many as half
dozen could be found to express
different opinion. The abolition of
the oanteen has been responsible for
more drunkenness, more disorder,
more Imprisonment, more anxiety,
more needless work, more summary
punishments and court martial, than
any other adverse influence that has
fallen ON the Army in forty years.
The women meant well--they al
ways do-when they scared Congress
into abolishing the enlisted mems
club because beer was sold there
beer, mind you--the mildest drink
possible-but they did not know,
They did not realize that when you
take a husky young hod carrier from
Ia, inf
uniform he will expect hisIbeer every
day or so, and that he will be filled
| with establishment and resentment If
| he is told that he is now Sunday
school scholar and is not allowed to
drink anything but water, which in
the Western posts is mixed with salt,
I and which in the South is fouled
with vegetation. They did not real
ize that, having forbidden him to
maintain a little club of his own,
where he could read the papers, play
cards, smoke, gossip and drink beer,
he would take every opportunity to
80 to the saloons and dives out iide,
there to associate with doubtful char
acters and be encouraged by them to
drink whiskey, because when drunk
he was more easily robbed. In the
canteen he never got drunk.
This is what has been happening
from the day when the canteen was
closed On the whole, it has fur
nished an excellent illustration of the
wisdom of giving to Army officers the
government of the Army, and not in
vesting it in clubs and societies Of
women who VIGOROUSLY and properly
lack knowledge on the subject. L
was a cowardly thing for the congress
men, who knew better, to side agains
the soldiers, for the votes they
thought they would earn by obligint
the women. The experiment has beef
tried, and so fully that there is NJ
longer possible doubt upon the sub
ject. 1t is dead failure-a ranl
failure-a hopeless failure. We agre
with General Grant, and the United
States Army, that the canteen shoul'
be restored, and that hereafter TIL
various departments of this govern
ment should be connected without ref
erence to demands of extremists ant
sentimentalists who are ignorant o
the consequence of meddling. Brook

Whether for good or evil, it seems to
be possible just now to connect Yer
mont with pretty much everything
important that is going on in Amer
lea. For instance, here is something
interesting on that point from the
Brattleboro Phoenix: 'Elihu Root
has resigned as secretary of war and
will leave President Roosevelt's cabi-
net January /. William H. Taft of
Ohio, governor general of the Phillip
pines, will succeed him at the head Of
the war department, taking the po-
sition which years ago was occupied
by his distinguished father, Alphonso
Taft, native of Townshend in this
county, who was also attorney gener-
al of the United States, and represent
ed this country as minister to Austria

THE YACHT RI CES.

For the past week several fruitless
efforts have been made to sail another
race between Shamrock III. and Re-
lance but gales or the opposite have
prevented. The Reliance has two
races to her credit and the English
boat none, with three out of the five
necessary to win the cup. The trials
this week have been for the most part
drifting matches in which the time
limit expired before the finish, but in
each case the Reliance far outstripped
her rival in speed. There is little
doubt about the American boat
final success.
