recently appointed assistant attorney
general in the postoffice department
at Washington, has been making a
very careful investigation into the af-
fairs Of the New York city postofiice
and has just reported his findings to
the president. The president APP
proves of the report and its recon-
mendations in fun and has directed
that the recommendations be carried
into effect
1t is shown that Postmaster Van
Colt himself has been entirely inno-
cent of any intentional wrong doing
and that no evidence of criminality
was disclosed by the investigation
Some Irregularities and administra-
tive defects continued from the last
administration We're discovered and
their recurrence is guarded against
by recommendation for future guild

The employment five years ago Of
Whitfield Van Colt, brother of the
postmaster. as an inspector of mail
boxes, was shown to be illegal and
the salary paid him for such service
has been refunded to the government. /
1t is also recommended that the con-

A noble man has left us
And none his place can fill:
Yet that wave of the hand and cheer.
ing smile
They linger with us still.
When Sumter's guns awoke the north
And lit the world with flame,
He bravely led our gallant boys
On many a field of fame
And bravely faced the bullets hot
And the lannon's lurid flame.
When that cruel war was over
That freed the wretched slave,
And ranked our gallant Hooker
With the bravest of the brave
His cheering smiles made sunshine
Wherever he might GO

MAJ. GLENN'S REPORT.
Inspection Of the National Guard Of
the State.

/ A copy of the report Of Mai. Ed
win L. Glenn, regular army, who In
March inspected the national guard
of the state by company as well as
the cadets at Norwich university in
accordance with the new laws, has
been received by Adjt. Gen. w. II.
Gilmore and published for the bene-
fit of the state troops.
The report is complete and deals
with every detail of the state organi-
cation. After giving a general re-
view of the equipment such as uni
forms, arms, etc, the report criticises
some of the faults of the national
guard.
Among other things il is reported
that there is not sufficient ammunition
on hand in the various companies in
case of their being called into ac-
tive service. The question of records
is considered the weakest point of the
various organizations and Maj Glenn
points out that the keeping OF care
full statistics should be one of the
most important details Of company
work
Other features of the report are the
criticisms of the lack Of more than
one company in town, the fact that
none of the companies own their ar
mories, the inability of any two COM
panies to work together and profit by
such associations save once a year, /
The lack of battalion drill, the limita- /
ions Of companies to their own 4
horizon without considering them (
selves as units of the regiment and
many other points where fault is
ound 10 exist.
One interesting feature OF the re-
,ort is the criticism of Rutland in
only one company, while
he scattered locations of the COM
'anies and in some cases, the MEM
ers of certain companies, is deplor-
d.
Norwich university is warmly COM !:

INVITATION FROM GEORGE E. GREENE
Leading Brattleboro Druggist Urges
You to Try Hyomei, the Guaran-
teed Cure for catarrh.

Any reader OF the Reformer who
suffers with catarrh. or who is sub
ject TO catarrhal colds, is invited to
George f. Greene's store for COM
plete Hyomei outfit on approval So
confident Is he that Hyomei viii cure
the worst and most deep seated case
Of catarrh that he will furnish a full
months treatment of Hyomei on trial.
While ii would be unreasonable to
expect a chronic case of catarrh.
which has been growing worse for
years, could be cured within a month.
yet he feels sure that the thirty days
treatment will convince the user that
Hyomei is infallible in driving ca
tarrhal poison from the system. There
is no dangerous stomach drugging
when Hyomei is used. Simply breathe
its healing balsams through the neat
inhaler that comes with every outfit,
and the germk killing and health-giv-
ing air will penetrate to the most re-
mote cells in the air passages of the
head, throat and lungs, and drive ca
tarrhal poison from the system.
Nothing else will so quickly cure
cold in the head or stop an ordinary
cough.
Singers and public speakers will |
find Hyomei invaluable. 1t strengthens |
the voice and gives it rich, clear |
tone. Catarrhal deafness is cured /
when Hyomei and the special Hyomei |
balm are used.
The complete outfit costs only one
dollar, and it, after using, you can
say that it did not help you George E.
Greene will return your money.

THAT GOOD ROADS PLAN.
Where Fuller c. Smith Would Have
the Roads Run.

The good roads plan presented al

clal part OF which was outlined last
lions for the new highways:
Commence AZ Highgate, build a
trunk line through the Champlnln
valley TO Burlington, Mlddlebury.
Rutland and Bennington. Commence
at Newport, build south TO Iras-
burgh, Morrisville, Montpelier, Royal
ton, Ludlow, Chester 10 Bellows Falls
Again commence nj Newport, build to
81, Johnsbury, Bradford, Hartford,
Springfield, Westminster and Brattle-
boro 10 Vernon.
Commence again nj st. Adams,
build through Sheldon, Berkshire,
Montgomery, Newport Brighton,
Guildhall, to Lunenburgh. Commence
again NJ ST. Adams. build through
Fairfax, Cambridge Morrisvile,
Hardwick. st. Johnsbury TO Lunen-
burgh. Commence again at Burlng-
ton, build through Richmond. Mont
pelier Marshheld Ryegate TO Wells
River. Commence again ut Middle
bury, build through Ripton. Roches-
ter Bethel Sharon to White River
Junction. Begin again at Fair Haven.
build through Castleton. Rutland,
Mendon, Brldgewater, Woodstock 10
White River Junction.
Commence again at Manchester,
build through Londonderry to Bellows
Falls. Commence again at Benning- |
ton build through 10 Brattleboro. Be I
gin again at Montpelier build to
Mortified, Randolph through TO [
Shelburne to meet the cross road to
White River Junction.
These highways would touch every
hire town except Newfane and North
Zero and serve directly a large ma
GRITTY of the population. They would
make of Vermont a paradise for sum-
ner visitors and tourists. At the
worlds fair at Chicago in 1898 the
tate of Maine had an exhibit show
ng that in 1892 that state received
rom summer visitors over $1,000
90 and the state of New Hampshire
aceived that year from the same SER
ice over 100000. These roads
light be built by a state highway
and the work could be
lrried on simultaneously and COM
leted in five years.

Brattleboro won the first game
with Ashuelot In the Cheshire County
league Saturday by score of to
by hard hitting and clever base
running in the seventh. The game
was anybody's up to that time and
close and exciting enough for the
veriest rooter there when In Brattle-
boro's half of that inning with the
score Sd In her favor three more
runs We're added to clnch the victory.
Ellis led off with a quick grounder
to third that netted him one bag. AL
len flied out to Kepdrick. Stolte
whipped out three Dagger to deep
center and brought IN Ellis. Stolte
came home on March's hit Waite
was out. Qualters to Sheridan.
March got around to third on errors
and came home with n rush after
Sherman's nun Of fuckers long fly.
Brooks's hard drive to left was clev-
erly handled and the side was out, s
to 1.
The dun colored brown suits Of the
boys from Ashuelot gave little indi-
cation of their ability and when they |
got three runs in the first TO the |
home teams one the crowd began to /
take notice and look for something I
doing. They We're not disappointed /
and the game was well worth watch

in the ninth that ended the game.
With the score 81 Mt the end Of
the first inning Brattleboro began to
play good, hard base BAH and getting
a run here and another there made
it ga in the sixth. After piling up
the runs in the seventh that clinched
the game Ellis was given beautiful
support, shut out the invaders in the
asst two innings, making safe the
lard- earned game.
With Brooks as backstop and l.. !
Allen at third the Brattleboro aggre {
cation ought to be good enough TO !
