A WORD FROM THE CONFERENCE TO
The CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.

When the registrar of the Orleans
County Conference made his report
at the last session of the Conference
at Newport, June 6th, 1905, ne called
special attention to the short pastor
ates of the churches of the confer
ence which called for some remedy.
Discussion followed and appeared in
different parts of the program. The
outcome Of 1t I'll was the appointment
of missionary committee with the
functions outlined in the following
resolution, which was adopted:
ResolUed, That we appoint mis-
sionary committee of four persons,
the duties of which committee shall
include, besides the ordinary duties
Of such a committee, the encourage
ment and assistance of the weaker
churches in our conference. Rev. a.
S. Bole, Rev. Josiah Poeton, Dea. c..
F. Ran1ey and Rev. Thomas Hall
were elected such a committee. One
special help to be given, in the mind
of the conference, was that of
sucuring pastors.
A second resolution resulted from
discussion as follows:
ResoIUed, That we view with alarm
the drift towards shorter and shorter
pastorates among US, and the instabil-
ity of the pastoral relation; and that,
as remedy, we advise the churches
to call men only after thorough in
vestigation or even a term of trial
and that then they be called to a set
tied pastorate.
RESOLVED: That in seeking this end
we trust to the sanctifed common
sense of the churches, each to work
this out its own way, whether by in
stallation, recognition or mutual I'M
derstanding, so long as the pastor is
not thought of as the hired man of
the church; and that a copy of this
resolution be sent to the churches.

ton by Deputy United States Marshal
Thomas Reeves. He passed the night
in Chittenden county Jail because he
could not furnish the s50,0 bail that
was required. The circumstances. as
alleged, are that Mrs. Kimball came
to New York year ago and learned
of cures said to have been performed
by Doctor Morrow. She was suffering
with a cancer and came to Burlington
to see Doctor Morrow. She explained
her condition to him and it is alleged
that he guaranteed to cure her by the
absorption method. 1t is claimed
that she placed herself under his care
ard took his medicine as directed.
This occurred in September. Instead
of growing better, it is claimed that
she grew worse and that finally she
underwent two operations in New
York hospital but it was too late and
she died February ID last 1t is al
legged that had she not followed Doc
tor Merrow's advice she could have
been cured. The case is brought in
the United States courts by the hus-
band of Mrs. Kimball, who is the ad-
ministrator of her estate. The suit is
brought to recover damages of $50. 600
and bail of the same amount is de-
manded.

RIOTS IN JAPAN.

AS a result of the dissatisfaction felt
among the Japanese at the outcome
of the peace commission a mob at
tackled and burned ten Christian
churches in Toxic Wednesday. The
inmates were saved. Serious rioting
also followed the attack on the Office
of the Kokumin Shimbun, the govern
ment organ.
A mob attacked and burned the
official residence of the minister of
home affairs, which stood between
the Mobiles Club and the Imperial Ho-
tel and faced Hibaya Park, which was
a storm centre throughout the day.
Threatening demonstrations occurred
in the neighborhood of the official
homes of Premier Katsura and Baron
Komura the foreign minister, now in
/ the United States) but the police pre-
vented injury to the occupants or
damage to the houses.
The mob showed its temper TODAY
by threatening the life of Z. H. Harri-
man, president of the Southern Paci-
nc railroad, the American magnate
now there, and by hurting stones and
rocks at the Marquis Ito. the presi-
dent of the privy council, when he
appeared on the street.

The days of the famous places
known as cline houses" are probably
numbered. They are houses built on
the line between the United States
and Canada and many of them have
existed for the past fifty years. Be-
ing half in one country and half in
the other many of them have been
able by running two stores to avoid
the payment of duties. At present
there are said to be four line houses
within a radius of twenty miles where
liquor is freely sold despite the efforts
of both nations. The commission
which is now inspecting the boundary
posts with a view to replacing the
iron markers will probably be sue
ceeded by another commission who
will re-survey the boundary line. 1t
will be recommended that a neutral
belt three feet on each side of the line
be left and that neither Canada nor
the United States will occupy this
narrow strip, neither will any building
be allowed TO be erected. This is
thought by many to be the only solu-
ton of the question: Montpelier
Journal.
1t is we'll that some solution to the
cline house" curse is in sight. These
houses have long been the greatest
curse TO the territory Immediately
bordering on both sides of the line
that either Canada or the United
States has had to cope with. Not
only towns in the immediate vicinity
of the line but those for miles around
have suffered. 1t is not an unknown
thing in border towns for man taker
for intoxication to testify that he go
his liquor Sat the Line, /" when indica
tions are that the drink was secures
nearer home. Thus the "pocket ped
dler' is often protected and ihega
sellers for miles around are safei.

Treaty Signed
The treaty of Portsmouth was
signed shortly before o'clock Tues
day afternoon in the conference room
of the navy yard, Portsmouth. The
firing of national salute of p guns
was the signal which told the people
of Portsmouth, Kittery and Newcas
tie that the peace of Portsmouth was
an accomplished fact, and the church
bells in, the three towns were soon
pealing forth joyful refrain. For
AZ minutes those outside the confer
ence room anxiously awaited the sig
nal. Suddenly an orderly dashed to
the entrance of the peace building
and waved his hand to- the gunner a
few feet away and the opening shot
of the salute rang out on the clear air
of the soft September afternoon, pro-
claiming peace between Russia and
Japan.

The News and Citizen, published at

out vague insinuations of stir in La

it is worded we gather that it is some
one in opposition to Fletcher D. Proc

ever he is. A pursuit race, at this

hard and discouraging event. But

While it is not the policy of the
MONITOR to "scold" it wishes to To-
calize a thought brought out by the
st. Adams Messenger in regard to
public duty. 1t seems that at the re-
cent meeting of the state board of
health at Burlington, in spite of the I'M
usual effort of the board to have repre-
sentatives present from every town
79 of the 246 were unrepresented, and
attendance is compulsory under the
law. Now to bring the matter home,
Orleans county with her eighteen
towns was represented by just half
that number. Here are the towns
not represented: Albany, Barton,
Bloomington, Craftsbury, Glover, Jay,
Lowell, Troy and Westmore. This is
bad showing, indeed it is
about the worst in the state and if the
state as a whole should be censured
with practicallytwo thirds Of her towns
represented, Orleans County surely
ought to be reminded" of it's small
showing. And this matter of public
health is most serious one too, a
matter that interests every citizen OF
Vermont. Let us be up and doing
then and show ourselves little more
public spirited, and willing to do oul
public duty.

cessories nf great mans resiUencv centuries before the period witch wA recognize as the meridian" of G,seS art. The bedding was never kept IT large presses or closets, but in chests of the same form as the caskets for cosmetics and jewelry. With the for nation of the Roman empire, which was founded 75O B. O., came the fourth great empire of antiquity. For want of an artistic style of their own they were dependent at first upon the Greeks, but instead of following the simplicity of that style they exag- gerated the decorative treatment, in accordance with their love for splen- dor. Their beds were made with ex- traordinary beauty and costliness. They had mattresses stuffed with swansdown, woolen blankets and rich ly embroidered sheets. After the fall of Rome beds and all other articles of furniture returned to the most primi- tive forms, the household goods of the masses consisting of nothing but a bench, chest and few skins. The chest was used as table by day, and with the skins thrown over 1t as bed by night. About the eleventh century furniture became more gen erally used, and the people of the Anglo-Saxon race began to build al- coves or recesses In the walls of their homes and sacks of fresh straw were laid on bench or raised boards and curtains were hung to conceal the same from the rooms. Goat and bear skins were then used as coverlets.- Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Couch Was Most Important in

 The couch was one of the most inn portant pieces of furniture in the homes of the people of ancient Egypt. It was used at meal times to recline upon, as well as at night for bed. Probably the earliest mention of the bed is to be found in II. Kings, iv. chapter, of the Old Testament when Elisha visited the Shumenite about S95 B. O., and We are told of the preparations for the reception of the prophet "Let us make a little cham Der, pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed, and q table, and a stood and candlestick," and another incident is about APO years later, in the "book of Esther" when upon alludlng to the grandeur of the palace of Ahasuerus, We are enabled to catch glimpse of Eastern magniflcence in the description of the court of the garden of the kings pal ace, "where were white, green and blue hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings

Three Thousand Bodies of Water With.

 There are 6S7 named lakes on the island of Newfoundland and 5000 known ones without names. The island has about 4,OOO miles of seacoast, in cluding that of bays like Bonavista. Notre Dame, Fortune, St. Mary's, Bonne, St. George, Placentia and Bay of Islands. From one to six streams of clear green water empty into each of these bays.
 Every stream that reaches salt water is a salmon stream. Back from all that coast are other and easily reached streams that have not even a tradition of fishnet, rod or hook, and lakes never mapped where one may camp and add to the fare wild geese and ducks, willow grouse, whose plumage turns white in winter; ptar- migan, plover and curlew. These camping places bring a unique sense of remoteness and solitude. Only dark ness around campfire in the New foundland jungles and over the tun dras can understand the tinge of fear that sometimes becomes almost ap- palling in the vast solitudes.

WILD AND WOOLLY WEST.
Antics of Steer MaysFurther Middle
 Eastern Ideas.

Eastern Ideas.
 It is much to be regretted that news got abroad of the steer running amuck in the streets of Alton, since the in telligence Is likely further to embar- rass us in our efforts to convince the effete and obtuse east that our mid country western metropolis are alto gether civilized and safe.
 It is with no little difficulty even at this late day that the confined con- servatism of New England admits that we are on the map as real cities and not as mere rough centers of the wild life of the plains. Tenaciously good many people lover east still cling to the notion that everything this side of the Alleghanies is sort of vague beyond, peopled principally by buffalo, Indians, range cattle, cow punchers, sage hens and prairie dogs, and occasionally enlivened by the more conspicuous types of Buffalo Bill or a Roosevelt, but wholly i'm possible as a habitat.
 It is discouraging, therefore, to have it go out over the wires that "a steer brought up from St. Louis to Alton Wednesday held the streets un- til Ii p. m., terorizing the citizens and cutting up pranks. At North Alton, among other things, the steer ran into H. Wutzier's store door, but backed out again without doing any damage. Then it ran into horse and carriage. The occupants fortunately jumped from the vehicle. Finally Ed. Adams succeeded in roping the ant- mal."
 It is a reflection of additional dis comfort to US that the steer hailed from St. Louis.
 When this city shall have sreng- thened little further as a financial center so that 1t can supply funds not only to all the southwest, but to the Middle States as we'll, and consequent ly no longer feel the need of borrow ing money from ths Fasteners in Wall street and elsewhere, we shan't take the trouble to puncture thef thickly reluctant intelligences with the truth about our civilizedness and even cosmopolite culture and polish, but in the meantime we ought either to lay great deal of stress on facts about our finished conditions of living or to fence up our stock.-St. Louis Republic.
