Disastrous 500, 1000 Fire in Middlebury.

Two thirds of the business part OF
Middlebury was wiped out of existence

in the basement of Union block and
destroyed that building, $50 feet long,
in 20 minutes. 1t then crossed the
street and swept up barber shop: the
Dyer building, containing Odd Eel

house; the Mcleod building, stores
and tenements; crossed the street again
and seized upon clothing store, Rog-

damaged the Y. NJ. C. A. building
The wind was blowing perfect gale at
the times and the water hydrants froz-

proximate 500, 600; insured for about
5000 Most of the buildings will be
replaced. Joseph Rattell has offered
to purchase the sites in the burned dis
trict, devastated by fire, and to erect
fine fireproof buildings if the village
will guarantee that no liquor saloons
shall ever be opened in the village.
The Dyer block will be rebuilt by the
owners and a handsome Odd Fellows
hall will be part of the building.

Lady Henry Somerset vindicates the

it by recent statements in regard to
its opinion of Watts "Love and Life

After all, Rutland is to retain the
car shops of the Rutland road. But
Burlington is also to have car shops
and the general offices of the company.
So both towns are to be made happy
and prosperous, and probably will be
willing to forgive Col. Webb for not hav-
ing been born in Vermont. 1t is barely
possible that Col. Webb will be can
didate for governor four years hence,
and in view of the fact that Gen. Nc
Cullough was able to be elected IN
spite of the cry that he was not Yer
monter, Col. Webb's chances OF sue

Greatly to the regret and unwilling
ness of the navy department, Capt.
Richmond P. Hobson resigns from the
service in which he has done such
brave and brilliant work. He has been
compelled to this step by the refusal
of the department to retire him from
service that he might carry out his
purposes Of advancement in other lines

ability, good political prospects and,
whether in the navy or out of 1t, is

President Roosevelt's message, which
our prohibition brethren will do well
to heed, both now and in the future:
Insistence upon the impossible means
delay in achieving the possible. exactly
as, on the other hand, the stubborn
defense alike of what is good and what
is bad in the existing system, the res

betterment, betrays blindness to the
historic truth that wise evolution is
the sure safeguard against revolution.

SIXTEEN YEARS OF CATARRH.
Well Known sets
Woman Cured by Hyomei.

! How to cure catarrh has been prob
lem in medicine for many years that
was not solved until the discovery OF
Hyomei This remarkable treatment
makes it possible for any one to breathe
in an air at home which is almost l.
IDENTICAL with that of the Adirondacks,
the Carolinas and other health resorts
where the air is impregnated with heal
ing balsams from health giving trees
and plants.
Simply place little Hyomei in the
inhaler which comes with every outfit,
breathe it occasionally during the day
and benefit will be seen after its use
for only two or three times, while per :
severance for few days or weeks will
effect complete cure of even the worst
case of catarrh.
Mrs. Elvira E. B. Gibson who holds
responsible position in the great dry
goods store of Jordan, Marsh & Co., of
Boston, wrote in April 81 had catarrh
for twenty years, and the last ten years
(all of which time has been passed in
this great establishment, l suffered
fearfully. One half dozen handker-
chiefs per day would be used. 1t ex-
tended to my throat and the base of my
tongue was affected: | constantly kept
in my mouth cardamon seeds or some
such breath purifier could not sleep
with my mouth closed. began using
Hyomei in December and in two weeks
L was entirely - and now after four
months and no return of the disease, /
can say permanently-cured. The head
of this firm, Mr.. Jordan, endorses this
statement.
Geo. +. Greene has sold hundreds of
Hyomei outfits consisting of an inhal-
er, medicine dropper and bottle of
Hyomei and with every purchase mas
given bis personal guarantee to refund
the money if Hyomei does not cure.
He will still sell the treatment on that
plan and every catarrh sufferer ought
to take advantage of his fair PROPOSE
tion.

IRATTIEpoRo, VT, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8
What It Means for Vermont.

Vermont's acceptance of the new IL
cense law last Tuesday has a meaning
full of promise and power for the fu-
ture of the state. 1t means that she
has aroused from her long lethargic
dream and is standing awake, Free
and ready to take her place and do her
part with the intelligent and progress
siye of the world. 1t means that her
people are not satisfied any longer to
be dominated and led in the worn out
WAYS fashioned by the crude methods
and according to the undeveloped ideas
of fifty years ago; they realize that
thew have ideals and standards and
thoughts of their own, and that they
have a right to be guided thereby
that, moreover, it is their privilege and
duty to follow these standards and not
the dictates of machine politicians.
It means that Vermont has realized
her ignorance and narrow conservatism
and has repudiated them; that hereaf-
ter. she is for enlightenment and
progress in all ways of moral and phys
ical betterment. She is wide awake,
watchful, bright and keen of thought
and purpose and she purposes to man
age her own affairs hereafter, and
march straight onward.
It does not mean that she is careless
or tolerant of the growth and spread OF
the drink evil; that she is any less
anxious for the prosperity and sobrlety
of her citizens, or for the respect and
enforcement of her laws. 1t means, in
stead, that she is more so; that she
has grown more wise about the drink
evil and instead of letting it skulk in
the thickets and back alleys, a hidden
menace to her people, she means to
have it properly and securely Gagged
with good strong, tested bars, full in
the public view.
And the fact that she has grown thus
wise and brave and reliant, and has so
decided, opens the way to everything
of future good for her. Her days have
long been dark and gloomy and profit
less: but a new one is dawning for her.
The clouds are broken, the fogs lift
and blue, tranquil east proclaims
that it will be day of sun.

Vermont sheep breeders at their an
nual meeting last week were jubilant
over the fourishing conditions and
hopeful prospects of their business.
The South African market will have
nothing but Vermont merinos for
breeding purposes, it is said, because
of the superior reputation they have
won. 1t pays to do your best at what
ever you undertake and to produce the
best; and Vermont knows it.

The Critic makes an incomplete ana
therefore misleading statement in con-
nection with its comments on the Den
YER cook who won a $3.50 short story
prize. 1t is afraid, it says, that Miss
johnson is making mistake in turn
ing from cooking to story writing. IL
AYERS that it is better to be good cook
than good story writer, because the re-
wards of the cook are sure and those
of literature evasive. The Critic prob
ably accepts the current fallacy that
ANYBODY can be good cook But cock
ing is a science and good cooks are
rare. There is no testimony offered as
to Miss Johnson's cooking. The phil
osopher AYERS that it is better to be
good story writer, uncertainty paid
than poor cook, paid regularly, to
embitter mankind. The people who
work where they can get the most
money, instead of where their abilities
and inclinations point, are already a
WEAKNESS and vexation to the business
world Work should not be chosen be-
cause it is most remunerative but be-
cause it calls into action the best forces
of our natures. 1t is not in the class
of work we do that the honor lies, but
in the way we do it.

The great coal trust cannot be re-
garded as successful type of business
management, although it undoubted-
" continues to pull in millions of mon
ey. Its customers, the people of the
whole country, are thoroughly dissatls-
fed and indignant with its methods,
and, in spite of its great power, ruin
is sure to be it's portion. Arbitrary
and inefficient service is only accepted
by the public until the moment when it
can get better. A very humble but
beautiful contrast to this business mon
strosity is offered in the case of wash
erwoman whom the philosopher once
heard comfortably chronicling her ca
reer to a small circle of friends. Il
have washed for the best people in
this town for thirty years." she de-
clared, proudly; land l never had a
piece sent back. worked hard, got good
pay and saved my money. Now I've
plenty and don't have to work for
nobody" Is it not of great honor and
credit to have been so faithful and pains
taking in ones business as to have
quite satisfied the customers of thirty
years? How many business men and
women do that, just for one year !!
How many even try? Over and over
again, pieces are being sent back, tenn
pers ruffled, materials spoiled, com
fort dispelled and the whole moral
tone of the world lowered by these
workers who are working just for mon =
ey or because they have to work. If
we stop to think. it should surely be a
delightful privilege to add something
to the progress and happiness OF the
world, by the perfect execution of our
share of its labor And at the end,
would it not be more satisfying to have
been a washerwoman who "never had
piece sent back" serene and happy
with her plenty fairly earned, than
great coal magnate who made mil
lions but was despised and anathema
tized by the whole country? Money is
not the only measure of life's successes,
The confidence of our fellowmen and
our influence over them must be reck-
oned among the values.
