The Two Waaners.

Anxious Inquirer: 'Y GU have been
misinformed. The Wagner who
leads the National league IN batting
is not the Wagner who composed
fParsifal.' There is a similarity of
names, but not of genius. It is
doubtful if the musician Wagner
would have known a bunt from a
hot one to right, and the batting
Wagner might find it difficult to dis
tinguish between quarter note and
an oratorio. And while the fame of
the former Wagner may be world
wide, as it were, it can safely be
taken for granted that the manage
ment of the Pittsburg ball club
wouldn't have traded Hans Wagner
for him if they had received SIC, 900
to boot. We don't blame you for
your error in confounding the two
men. No doubt you were led astray
by the fact that both Wagners are

Where Population is Etiquette.

Population is the etiquette in
Russia. They are building just off
the Newsh prospect, in st. Peters
burg, memorial church on the spot
where Alexander II. was assassinat-
ed. 1t cannot get finished. The
present writer has seen it at inter
walls of years, knowing that several
hundreds of thousands of rnbles are
yearly devoted to its completion. No
progress is visible. Year after year
the scaffoldings are as before. On
the last occasion he inquired from
his companion, a Cossack officer of
the guards. The officer smiled and
explained that the funds passed
through the hands of a grand duke,
an uncle of the car, who drove
down now and then to see how
things were going, but-the officer
shrugged his shoulders and laughed.
Just what a grand duke would do
was the implication. = London

A Beautiful Entertainment.


Miss Sylvia Armstrong. daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank B.
Armstrong, entertained quite a
number of her little friends at the
parental home last evening, the
occasion being in celebration of her
18th anniversary. The house was
splendidly decorated with palms,
ferns. flowers. ETC., and full or
chestra of music made the affair a
highly enjoyable one. To add to
this enjoyment, delicious refresh
ments of ice cream, cake, etc., were
served. The table was handsome in
its appointments. and the color
scheme of green and pink blended
tremendously with the interior of
this beautiful home. A large num-
Der participated, and the young
hostess received her guests with
the sweet dignity of a grown up,
and in most graceful manner made
all welcome. Dancing was engaged
in until II o'clock, when the gay
young participants dispersed, not,

ing operations are progressing sat
at Ham-Ko, and next
year will see the farm one of the
most beautiful in this section. Mr..
Krapf has about twenty acres set
in onions, and will put out about
ten acres more. He had about five
acres in tomatoes, but the frost of
Thursday made them look worse
than the traditional thirty cents.
The plants were fine and the fruit
was of splendid size, giving promise
of good yield, Till fell the frost
from the clear cold heaven, as falls
the plague on men" and the toma
toes were no more. Mr.. Krapf,
however, has more plants just COM
ing up, and will try it again. In
addition to truck growing a lemon
and orange grove of two and a half
acres will be put out on the farm,
and judging from the success of
these fruits elsewhere in this vici-
nifty, without any attempt at ex-
pert cultural methods, Mr.. Krapf
thinks that with proper attention

ons can be proftably grown here.

growing beautifully at Ham-Ko, |

Discriminatory Coal Rates.

A hearing was held at Montpelier
Sept. ) before Interstate Commerce
Commissioner C. A. Prouty in the
case OF the Capital Gas. Co. of Mont
pelier VS.. the Central Vermont Rail-
way and the Rutland Railroad com
panies. The case grows out of a
freight rate on coal between Montpe-
lier and Norwood, n. Y, the charge
being made that the Montpelier &
Wells River Railroad Co was charged
81 cents ton, while the Capital Gas
Co. was compelled to pay S1.S5 ton.
George l.. Blanchard testified for the
plaintiff that the gas company was us
ing about one hundred tons OF coal
each month. II he could get rate OF
81 cents ton it would mean a saving
of almost dollar on each ton. He
could then give the people OF Montpe-
lier cheaper gas and could increase the
amount sold.
Mr. Prouty said the case hinged on a
point OF law, whether it was lawful to
charge railroad company lower
rate than that granted for commercial
purposes. He gave the plaintiff thirty
days in which TO file brief and the
defendant twenty days for the same
purpose.

A NOTEWORTHY TRIeure



The Rutland News speaks as follows
OF the result of the representative cleo
ton in the town of Proctor:
"By the way, when il comes o unani
nifty Fletcher d. Proctor seems to be Il.
His election to the House OF Repre-.
sentatiyes in 1890 and 1900 was unani.
nous. but at the last election there was
one vote cast in bis town against him.
Probably this latter opposition is the
result of influences from outside the
State which promised to take hand
in the election
1t will be recalled in this connection
that all sorts of charges have been
circulated recently in relation TO the
treatment accorded the employees of
the Vermont Marble company. The
result to which the Rutland News
refers is the most conclusive kind OF
answer that could be given to such
charges. II the amount OF dissatisfac-
ton alleged had existed among the
employees OF the Vermont Marble com
pany, of which Fletcher ID. Proctor Il
president, il is inconceivable that the
secret ballot would not have been
used TO demonstrate the fact. The
practical unanimity with which Mr..
Proctor was elected representative
should set at rest all talk about ram
pant dissatisfaction among the en-
ployes OF that company and demon
strate that its many beneficent works
for its employees are thoroughly. as
well as sincerely, appreciated.
