The Prison Scandal.

Dear Editor: AS a law-abiding per-
son in Vermont, 1 beg leave to air GER
tain opinions Of my own. If / were
one of the many women in this and
various other states who have SO far
taken themselves out of their own af-
fairs and meddled in those of others,
| would go and hide my head until this
Mary Rogers affair was settled for good
and all. | should be ashamed to own
that my name was one attached to a
petition to save from hanging a what
name would suit herr / know Of none
low enough. Ii being behind prison
bars is not security enough to prevent
such a creature from bringing any more
degenerates into the world, it is my opin-
ion she should be hanged without any
more ceremony. if on the other hand,
she is insane and not responsible for
her actions, is there no place where she
could be put that she may not contract
any more such troubles Why not hang
her at oncel If not, what is to be
doneg
suppose there are prison wardens
who are trustworthy, but, apparently,
they do not reside in Windsor.
1t appears to me that such a low
scandal is far more disgrace to old Yer
mont that hanging any number Of wom-
en- would be. Some people think if a
man commits murder hanging is too
good for him; he should be burned at
the stake nothing is to bad for him.
But woman, who is expected to be
more minded and gentle than a
man, If to add to being a lewd woman
from the age Of fifteen years, caps en-
erything else by killing her husband
she must not be hanged On, mol Poor
thing, she was in condition which
renders some women insane for a time
would ask what right had she to be
| in that condition, she did not live with
her husband, and had not for more than
year"
Not don't hang her; leave her at lib
erty to corrupt what few men there are
Of it be true that there are any that
are respectable. Now, all Of you women
far and near, get up another petition
to save her This world IS not full
enough Of such creatures. Give her ev.
cry opportunity TO bring more into it,
No! Don't hang her presume the poor
governor would relish mail bag full
Of letters, asking for pardons and re-
prives. Your truly,

me- Matter with New England.

The truth is that the years Of alleged
hard times, following the adoption of
the Wilson tariff in 1894, were really the
years of most rapid growth that New
England has ever seen. Those were the
years when Hartford added so per cent
to it population in single decade. Since
1900 it has grown less rapidly, although
doing better than many of the Massa-
ehusetts cities. The retarding effect
which the prevailing high prices Of mm-
Der and many other tariff prohibiting ma
terials which New England requires are
having on the development of this part
of the country could be easily demon
strated. The duty Of SO per thousand
feet on planned boards or 50 if unplaned

Shot Parrot with Water.

a domesticated parrot of remarkable
beauty and versatility escaped from its
cage recently at the residence Of Mark
III. Rream, mail carrier Of Gettysburg
Every effort to recapture the bird, which
remained in nearby trees on the ennsyl-
vania College campus, making saucy re-
marks, proved futile until yesterday.
Dream stationed himself beneath the
parrot and by kind words and a liberal
display Of food tried to persuade it to
re-enter its cage. The parrot, instead
Of responding TO the entreaties of his
master, kept up flow OF side remarks
which proved that his religious training
in early life had been sadly neglected.
Bream, who is good rifle shot, finally
bit upon clever plan for capturing the
bird. Having loaded his gun with ablank
cartridge he poured wine glass of wa
ter into the barrel Of the weapon and
fred the strange charge at the parrot.
The bird was stunned by the spray
and easily captured but the recoil of
the gun was 50 terrific that the postman
was hurled to the ground and sustained
fractured nose. Baltimore Sun.

UTTER LACK or RESPONSIBILITY.

UTTER LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Another sacrifice to the speed mania,
but it was not an automobile accident
this time. A motorman on the Wor-
cester and Southbridge street railway
in Massachusetts, was endeavoring to
beat time and plunged his ear, heavily
loaded with passengers, down steep
embankment. As result two persons
lost their lives, two more were severely
injured and many others were badly
bruised. The reports Of the accident
show that the motorman was entirely
at fault. He was sending his car along
at very high and unusual rate Of
speed just for the purpose Of making
a record run. He did not slaeken the
speed at the turns, and at one sharp
twist in the road the car took the
plunge from the rails. An employee
with no more regard for the response
bility Of his position, who holds human
life Of SO little consequence, who is 50
lost to a sense Of caution as this man
showed himself to be, should never
have been placed in that position. The
most trustworthy men are none toe
good to be placed in charge Of the lives
Of scores Of human beings. There are
accidents enough Of the variety which
cannot be avoided to be piling up those
that can be prevented by just a slight
exercise Of common sense. The company
which engages such men are responsible
for their employees only in matters Of
dollars and cents, but the dollars and
cents may sometime pile up sufficiently
