STATE GRANGE PICNIC.

Fairlee, Aug. LITTLE State board
of agriculture held one of it's series of
summer field meetings on the shore of
Lake Morey Tuesday, under the aus
pices of Orange County Pomona
Grange A basket picnic interested
the people until o'clock, when O. j.
Bell, chairman Of the board and Re-
publican candidate for Governor of
Vermont, called the audience to order
in the grove by the side of the lake.
l.. h. Bowditoh Of Thetford gave an
address Of welcome. Ernest Hitch
cock of Pittsford was introduced and
discussed the need of stopping the tre-
mendous waste in the present system
of road repairing and insisted upon
better legislation and larger epxen-
diture in behalf of good roads. He
insisted that the principal subject of
Legislation the coming year in Ver-
mont will be better method of taxa
ton.
The strongest address of the day
was given by Fl. o. Hadley, master of
the New Hampshire State Grange.
He advocated that the Granger should
be good citizen, interested in
church, school and every other good
institution. He should be alive to
newer and cheaper forms of agricul-
ture, to the need of honesty in pro-
ducing and marketing the best pro-
duct, and to be progressive in his pro-
fession.
E. B. Norris, master of the New
York State Grange, marked out at
length the work, the field and the
source of strength of the Grange. He
paid high compliment to Congressman
Frank D. Ourrier of New Hampshire
for preparing the only acceptable good
roads bill ever before Congress.
D. H. Morse of Randolph gave a
practical talk on how he had re-
claimed wornout land and made it ex-
ceedingly profitable.
The closing address was made by
George Aitkn, superintendent of the
Billings farm at Woodstock, who said
that New England soil was much
younger than that of England, Japan
or China, which was made to yield
far more productivity than ours.
Music was interspersed by Densmore's
orchestra of Hyde Park, Mass.

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by Cal cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
Or. David Kennedy's Latest Medicine.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery, of Silvara, Pa,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing to DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
"Your neao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is wonderful. 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after lot of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
1t is record breaker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble.
1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys and liver and at the same time ex-
pels uric acid from the blood, that it is such
reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause. therefore the cure is permanent,
safe and sure.

Word comes from Nebraska that fu-
sion has been arranged between the
Democrats and Populists in that State
by which they plan to elect a Populist
Governor and secure Legislature
which will send William j. Bryan to
the United States Senate. The cleo
toral vote is generally conceded to
Roosevelt. Mr.. Bryan is long ways
from the ideal for Senator but
worse things might happen than his
injection into that dignified assem-
blage. He could not possibly secure
many votes for his new fads of State
ownership and operation of railroads,
and popular election of Federal judges
and postmasters, or for his old fad of
free silver. He would throw into the
Senate some very awakening ideas
about trusts, and add to it another
wide awake speaker. He would be
dangerous if he could force his ideas
on all subjects on the Senate. AS
the Senate is now, he would add in
terest to its debates.

THE BRITISH FLAG AT LHASA,

Col. Younghusband' expedition is
at the walls Of Lhasa. The sacred
city is no longer sacred. The Dalai
Lama has fled, and the priests of the
temple now know that neither prayer
wheels nor jingals nor the might of
the Great White Gear can prevail
against the Englishman.
So fleet the works of men back to
their earth again,
Ancient and holy things fade like a
dream.
Eventually the ambans who repres-
emit the Chinese suzerain at the court
of the Dalai Lama will report to Pek-
ing that the English have reached the
sacred city. Throughout all the Bud
dhist world it will be known that the
pledges of the Russian emissaries have
not been kept, and that the Gar could
neither protect Thibet from mill
tary invasion nor guard the security
of the sacred city. Russian prestige
in China will dwindle to still smaller
proportions. British prestige will be
immessurably increased.
Whatever arrangements are made
as to trade and resident agent at
Lhasa. this was the chief object of
the expedition, and it has been
achieved. Now that the Younghus-
band nilsson has shown how easily
Lhasa could be reached, the English
themselves must marvel that they did
not go to the forbidden CITY long age
and explode the myth. New York

And skyward be thy dream.

runs away from any definite statement
on any vital issue before the country,
divorces himself as far as posi- BILE

to convey the impression that if he
were elected the government would go

ditional Democratic platitudes, but
when it comes to actual policies he
has nothing to offer but assurances
that he Will do no harm.
The Democratic platform demands
new legislation against trusts, but
Judge Parker hastens to assure the
trusts that he thinks no legislation
necessary, while he comforts the

tion that all that is needed is the en-
forcement of existing law by the adj
ministration. He says the Supreme
Court can be trusted to afford COM
plete legal remedy against monopoly,
but he does not note that the three
Democratic members of the court de-
MED its power to give the latest relief,
while only Republican judges inter-
preted the law so as to control mono-
poles. He calls for THE disposition
and the courage to enforce existing
law, just as if all the effective
work of enforcement had not been
done by Republican administrations,
and as if his only hope of election
was not based on the resentment in
Eastern financial centres against Pres
ident Roosevelt for subjecting law
less schemes of monopoly to test in

Three Die in a Burning Home.

In fire which was remarkable for its
rapidity Mrs. Rock Perry and two OF her
children were burned to death In their
home in Pittsburg Sunday evening Rock
Perry the husband. and his son Henry
and daughter Annie Perry were forced to
stand in the street and see the tragedy The
forcefuI though kindly efforts of the police
kept them from rushing into the flames
for their loved ones.
The fire is thought to have beer caused
by a spark from coal stove setting fire
to the carpet which Mrs. Perry was clean
ing with gasoline. The first thing known
about the fire was when flames were seen
issuing from the front door of the house.
Neighbors who watched the fire from it's
start said that never sound or cry or
moan issued from the death chamber on
the first floor. Mrs. Perry. from her posi-
ton on the floor when found, seemed to
have been rendered unconscious, and then
became prey to the flames. Harmer was
found at her side and Charles was near the
door. He evidently had made an effort
to escape, but his little. weak body was un-
able TO Withstand The onslaught OF flame
and smoke.

Rabbit Grated on Boy.

An operation. the like of which has never
been performed in New Jersey and seldom
in this country. took place yesterday at st.
Mary's Hospital. in -Passaic, n. j., when
the skin of rabbit was grated on a
wound ten inches square on the thigh of
Cornelius Post. fifteen years old. who was
burned two years ago. While playing
around a match factory in this city. the
lad picked up a piece of phosphorus and
stuck il in his pocket, and IL burned his leg
and thigh. The wound on the leg healed.
and an attempt was made to graft skin
from friends of the boy on the other wound,
but this was unsuccessful. The grating OF
the rabbit skin was decided on as last re-
sort The rabbit was secured several days
ago. and watched closely by the physicians
of the hospital. The hair on the rabbits
neck was shaved off close to the skin. The
wound on the boys thigh was scraped
down to the tissues. and an incision fifteen
inches long was made in the rabbits back,
after the animal had been placed under
chloroform. The rabbits skin was sewed
around the edge to the wound on the lads
thigh. The animal was bandaged to the
lads leg and will be kept in this position
until the physicians are satisfied that the
skin has grated. The rabbit will be fed
on specially prepared food. If the operation
is not successful, the lads leg will have TO
be amputated.
