LETTER TO w. w. MILES,
BARTON, VT.

Dear Sir: As your business is to get people
into and out of trouble, suppose you consider
their paint; it makes 'em almost as much
trouble as money, except of course mat
rimony.
They buy poor paint good deal; they
don't mean to; they don't know any better,
they buy without thinking. Bad paint isn't
good. 1t looks good enough for year; then
begins to get rusty; but changes so slowly;
one don't notice it.
Looking isn't all. The business OF paint is
to keep a house dry inside, the wood and iron
of it; keep it from rotting and rusting.
Takes good p int to do it.
Good and bad paint are sold at one price or
about that. One can't go by the price at all;
as with lawyers, the price has nothing to do
with goodness or badness; and costs are
worse yet; the painter and sheriff come in
for their share.
But the probability is that man, who
paints Davoe, will come out OH top.
Yours truly
Fw DEvoE & Co

Russian statesmen claim that Sec
rotary of State, John Hay, is the night
mare of Europe. No one knows just
what to expect of him. This shows
that the strong, fearless, foreign pol
icy which this government has pur-
sued for the past few years has
brought US from rather obscure po-
sition in international affairs to one
in which We are exercising most
commanding influence in the settle
ment of all international questions.

Damage of S24, 900.

A verdict of $4,000 has been found
in favor OF Rev. E. A. Schell of Chi
cago in his libel suit against DIR.
Charles Parkhurst, editor, and the
Boston Wesleyan Association, pub
fishers, of Zion's Herald. The suit
arose over statements printed in
Zion's Herald in 1899, regarding the
publication by Mr.. Schell, in connec-
ton with E. o. Excel of Chicago, a
composer, of song book. The
alleged libel was contained in state
ments that Mr.. Schell was dishonest,
and had utilized his position in the
church for his personal gain.
Supreme Court of Ur tilted States Decides the
Great Railroad Merger Suit.
By decision handed down Monday
by the supreme court of the United
States, the position of the govern
ment in its prosecution of the North
ern Securities Company is maintained.
The opinion of the United States cir
cult court for the district of Mime
sofa was affirmed. The effect is to
sustain the contention that the Sher-
man anti trust Jaw applies to railroad
combinations of the character in
question. Justice Harlan who read
the opinion of the court, said that in
the merger of the two roads the stock
holders disappeared and reappeared
in the Securities company, the two
thus becoming practically consolidet-
ed in holding company, the prin-
cipal object being to prevent compe-
tition. ''No scheme or device could
certainly more effectively come with
in the prohibition. of the anti trust
law, and it is within the meaning OF
the act of a trust" The contentious
of the Securities company were re-
viewed, and Justice Harlan said they
had received full attention. He quot
the various opinions involving the
trust question, saying that from them
it is to be gathered that all contracts
( in restraint of trade, reasonable oil
unre ,sonable, are profited by the
Sherman law, and that congress has
the power TO establish such regula-
tions as are laid down in that law
Congress had power to, enact the
statue. Replying in detail to the
points made for the Securities COM
pany, Justice Harlan said that the
contention that the law is ar
interference with the rights o.
the Individual states by which the
companies are incorporated was MOI
well founded. In such cases, he said
the authority of congress is supreme
He also dc clared it to be unnecessar,
to determine the right of owners o
railroad stock to sell their property
nor was it true that the right of thu
Securities company to own and hole
railroad stock is the only question in

Chas. H. Robb of Bellows Falls, who
was appointed assistant attorney
general of the post-oflice department
some time ago, has now been appoint
ed assistant attorney general of the
United States. Mr.. Robb's success
cannot be attributed entirely to his
being a Vermonter. Much of it is due
to the untiring energy which he has
displayed in performing the duties
which have devolved upon him.

The decision of the United States
Supreme Court that the Northern Sc
curities Company was organized con-
trary to the provisions of the Sher-
man antitrust law will put stop to
some of the great railroad combina-
tons and may affect other monopolies
1t should also put stop to the agita-
ton for government ownership of the
railroads.

volved Such contentious are wide
of the mark-mere men of straw. All
that the government complains of is
the existence of a corporation to re-
press commerce, and is not concerned
with the other points. Judge Harlan
said that in this day there should be
no doubt of the complete power of
congress to control interstate COM
merce; all appropriate means might
be resorted to for that purpose. All
the prior trust cases were in support
of that contention. Whether free
and unrestained competition was wise,
he said, was an economic question
with which the court need not con-
Germ itself, the question was that of
statutory law.

With reference to improvements in

that additional light in the room new
ly fitted up for first primary, by adj

be desirable. 1t is unfortunate that
in preparing the room more windows
were not cut, and if the architectural
conditions would permit, the light
would be greatly improved by the
cutting of additional windows. The
same is true in Miss Winslow's room.
One more window on each side of the
room, would give much better light.

Panic-Proof Theaters.

In an article on the Iroquois horror
the Globe-Democrat says: The Chica-
go theater was fire proof This sounds
like bitter irony now. 1t needed but
one sheet of flame from the blazing
scenery to bring to naughSsall the care
of builders in constructing its walls,
floors and balconies so that they would
resist fire. But it is not fire-proof
theater that will save life; it is one
which the audience can leave freely
and instantly at the cry of fire. The
sides of a theater from parquette to
gallery should be practically all doors.
Reliable employees should be there to
throw them open the moment the audi
ence takes fright. To calm the terri
fed people Is best, of course: but all
the doors Should be flung open at once
whether they are Gained or not 1t is
not to provide against fire alone that
theater construction must be planned,
hut to provide for panic. 1.-The people
ought not to get frightened" What
nonsense! The people will get fright
ened. and the only safety for them
then is perfectly free egress.

Debutante's Costume.

A soft, white, clinging goods known
as sicilienne, very popular this year,
Is cleverly used in a. debutante's cos
tune. The corsage is arranged with
handkerchief yoke and bertha,
heavy lace being employed, and the
tucked sicilienne blouses slightly into
the white silk crush belt of girdle
shape. The goods is tucked on the
shoulders and wherever else the lace
parts to show it. The sleeves also
are tucked to the elbows; the fullness
is allowed to puff and the lower part
OF the sleeve is of lace which matches
in kind the bertha and yoke. A far
ing cuff is the finishing feature of the
sleeve. The skirt falls in graceful
folds and shows considerable of
train. In design the skirt offers
striking novelty, being built in five
sections, the horizontal tucks con-
cealing the Jennings. Each section
has its own tucking which keeps the
skirt in complete harmony with the
tucked waist. The hip yoke is a
shirred puff and the drop skirt has
several founces, the upper ruffie be-
ing of chiffon and making fluffy fin
ish for the pretty skirt. Naturally
nothing heavier than white silk and
chiffon should be allowed to go under
all this daintiness.

A soft shade of dark green cloth
with velvet of a slightly darker tint
is used for this visiting costume. The
pretty belted eton has a double rever
effect carried out in velvet with cloth
appliques and in cloth with velvet ap-
pliques. Persian lamb being inserted
in each motif These revers are
broadly pointed over the shoulders.
The sleeves are of velvet with seal
loped points beneath, while lingerie
ruffles of plisse chiffon fall over the
hand. The skirt is plain, the only
trimming being the appliques of vel
vet and fur such as appear on the
eton. The white beaver hat is strapped
with broad gold braids and the long
plume in white shades to pink and
jacqueminot at the tip.

Furs as trimmings are charming.
The best skating frocks will show
trimmings of sable, mink and even
ermine; the latter especially is very
costly. The cream and white cloths
and corduroy velvet now in vogue
are vastly improved by an edging of
mink or sable, though martin,tail is a
good substitute. 1t is in skating
frocks that we shall see the most
perfect specimens Of the short skirt;
it is at its best cut with a somewhat
full frill round the feet, which assists
IN giving that graceful swing that
makes skating such pretty pastime.

About a year ago was afflicted

His advice was: Go to some pro-

are confined to your desk to great
extent try and get out in the open air
as much as possible followed his
instructions regarding the Postum.
AT that time my weight was ZAP

and medicines to brace me up. but all

credit Is due to having followed this
wise physicians advice and cut off the

to my having used Postum in place
