schumann ouarteste Benefit.

For some months the friends of the
Barre Schumann quartettc have been
urging them to hold a benefit concert.
and As the members Of the quartette
are very modest women and do not like
Ia speak for themselves, we beg the
privilege of doing this for them II is
well known fact that this quartette
has for several years helped in any and
nil concerts and receptions when invited
to do SO. even when 3ieh compliance
involved great deal OF inconvenience.
To our knowledge, they have always
been ready and glad to give Of the yalu-
able talents which they possess, and it
is only fair that their friends and the
public generally turn out in large mum.
bers 10 their benefit concert, which will
probably be given Wednesday evening
April 4th, in the Congregational church.
In addition to the many numbers the
Schunnnn quartette will render on this
occasion, there will be several violin
solos by Fred Whittier, who has just
returned from Germany. The accom-
panist for the quartette will be S. II.
Jackson, who has so thoroughly mas
tered the organ. Keep the date Of this
Musical event in mind and make no
other engagement for Wednesday night,
April 9TH

They are getting ready for trout fish
ing ON April in some states. In Yer.
mont, particularly this year, it would
be absurd to think Of beginning ON that
date, for here it Is within three days
81 that time and the land is still locked
in the embrace Of winter and the streams
have not yet received the vast vol
umes Of water from the melting drifts.
Before there will be any trout fishing,
the streams will have become young
torrents, boiling, seething, surgng. Then
the waters viii subside amt will become
warmed through the rays Of the spring
sun and the fishing will begin. Trout
fishing on the first OF April would be
mheard of in Vermont this year and,
indeed, it would be too early in most
every year. And the conditions are such,
with the backward spring, that fisher
men who start out next Monday in 9TH
er states of this nothern region viii find
the fish reluctant. There are occasional
plants in this state that the open sea
son for trouting should be heightened
with n month on the beginning, but
the situation this year furnishes good
illustration of how foolish such move
would be. May is not too early
Ia Vermont.

Special Committee Appointed in Enos-

Enosburgh Falls, March 28.-At the
annual school meeting held last evening
in opera hall the following officers were

1t was voted to pay the chairman OF
prudential committee $50 per year. The
chief interest centered in an article TO
see what action the district would take
in regard to the report of the State
board OF health in reference to the con-
dition Of the school buildings. Under
this article Il. j. Tyler introduced re.
solution to appoint a committee consist

yate individuals to buy up the available
sources and then place their own prices
on them. Various incidents show that
individuals are quite prone to place a
higher valuation on their-2water priv
ileges when village OF town corpora
ton or municipality Is negotiating for
the purchase than ii private parties
were dickering. There seems to be a
feeling that tho town OF city is able
to pay more and that il is willing TO
pay more, particularly If the private
owners have the town or city IN the
hole, so to speak, it they have acquired
the rights to the most available waters.
II is unquestionably proper from bust
ness standpoint for individuals to install
water systems. But in cases where the
communities are at all large or growing,
IL is much more business.like for the
village, the town or the city to fore
stall this "corneringp Of the water mar
ket by buying up before sharp indi.
yiduals have secured the privilege Of
placing their prices. In the end the
city or the village almost always finds
it advantageous TO own its own water
system and there is a lot to pay when
delay tactics have placed the public cor
porations on the defensive.

Stowe, March rs. The following let
tiers, received yesterday by H. g. Thorn

throw sulae light on the seining ques.
tion, which has been agifating the minds
Of those interested IN the preservation

Senator Proctor writes as follows:

Dear Com. Thomas: In reply to.
yours of March 23rd, | enclose you a
letter received from Mr.. Bacon, acting
secretary OF state, under date of March
gath, in regard to net fishing in the
Canadian section Of Lake Champaign.
The statement in the papers that the
Canadian disputes had been settled is
somewhat premature. A settlement is
prospective, not yet actual, but, think,
in a way TO be before another year.

Secretary Bacon's, as it Is matter Of
great public interest. Very truly yours,

Mr.. Bacon's letter is as follows

@The Honorable Relfieid Proctor,
United States Senate--Sir: | have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt Of your
letter of the Goth instant, transmitting
one from exLieutenant Governor Nelson
w. Fisk, with its enclosures, relative
TO the desired prohibition of seine and
net fishing in Lake Champlan. The matt
ten WAS, as You doubtless remember,
taken up last year with the British am
bassador. Az you were informed on
March 23d, 1905, the answer made by
the Canadian government To Secretary
Hays representations Of February l6,
1905, WAS that it would not be advis-
able to decide this matter as a separate
question, but that ii might be consid
erd In conjunction with other questions
Of similar character.
For your personal information beg
to state that the question has been
SO considered, and that the waters Of
Lake Champlain are specifically men

Was There Politics In 1t!

Wilmington Messenger.
1t is charged that President Roose-
velu postponed issuing the order dis
banding the three companies ofnegro
soldiers until after the election for
political reasons. Very probably the
President had made up his mind be-
fore the election to issue the order,
but postponed doing SO until after
that day because be thought ii he Is
sued it prior thereto the Republican
party would lose a great many negro
votes in some of the NortherRStates.
If such was Mr.. Roosevelt's conduct
then there was politics in postponing
the order, and it was good politics,
too, from a Republican standpoint.
The head Of any party would have
done the same in similar circum
stances. Had that order been issued
short while before the election the
Democrats would have elected agoOd
many more members OF the next con
gress. We are SO greatly pleased al
the order having been issued at al
that we could not join in criticism
of the President for postponing ac
tion for a few days for political rea
| sons, il we were convinced that he wal
| actuated by such motive.

The clearinghouse Mistress.

Youths Companion.
The boarding-house mistress looked
at her latest guest with firm but
cheerful expression of countenance,
and allowed the faintest hint OF a
smile to play over her features.
''Oh no, l never have any trouble
with my boarders," she said, briskly.
II don't see any need of nagging 'em
if they don't do just as they would in
their own homes, and as they'd like
to he done by; but l generally let
them see in some way when l don't t
approve OF their doings.
For instance, there is Mr.. Gram
ston, one of my table boarders, a
real well-meaning young man, but
pretty careless. He sits down at the
end of the table near these little
shelves where keep my extra china,
and he got in the habit last summer
of coming in in a hurry and laying
his hat right on top OF the plates.
"Well,f ,ft didn't look just right, but
l didn't nag him about it. When
he'd done it a half dozen times, / Just
put sheet of sticky fy-paper in on
top of those plates.
He never said anything about it,
for he knew what meant after that
night. That's why / say if folks vii
use tact they've no need to have any
trouble with boarders-not bit!'-

rench success give their mothers the

Psychologists, and as we look back
we find this maternal affection the

better if our fathers had taken time

A Washington special to the Rich
mond Times Dispatch under date of
the 18th, quotes one Edmund Scrib-
Iner Stevens, y years old, described
as ''the well known prognosticator
OF events and an astrologer OF no
mean ability" with the following
prediction OF direful calamity to be-
fall certain cities in this country and
throughout the world within the next
two years. He says:
Twenty-nine OF the largest cities Of the
world are doomed. Earthquake, food
and fire will wreak the vengeance of God
on the cities and their inhabitants within
the next 81 months. This wholesale de-
struction is to be Gods judgment on four
nations. The doomed cities in this coun-
try are New York, Albany, Buffalo, De
troit, Lansing, Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington, Richmond, Lebanon, Pa,
| Pittsburg, Columbus, indianapolis, Gin
| cinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Muskegon,
Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Hanni-
bal, Mo-, st. Joseph, Mo-, Omaha, st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Denver.
For more than twelve years, the
dispatch states, Mr. Stevens has been
all ardent student of the history OF
the world. Since last May he claims
to have been the recipient of telepa-
phic messages and to have made sew
eral true prophesies. But he doesn't
specify dates and places and we de-
cline to believe that be has been made
a special agent or medium in foresee-
ing and communicating such things
to an innocent and unsuspecting
world But Mr. Stevens talked some
more while he was at it and gave out
the following in addition to the
above:
The world is in the throes OF al up
heaval, which will eventually right the
earth and make the North Pole north
aud the South Pole south, instead OF
having the earth's axis on slant. That
upheaval will cause food, fire and earth
quake, and most Of the large cities oi
the world are going to suffer; some ol
them will be destroyed.
Within the next two years twenty six
cities in the United States and London,
Paris and Rome will be destroyed
New York City will be swallowed in
the gaping nav of an earthquake crack
and Chicago and Milwaukee will be
wiped of the map.
Now nervous and timid folk and
those who believe that one man has
greater power to foretell such things
than another may worry and lose
sleep looking for trouble that will
never come, but sensible people viii
pay no more attention to Stevens
predictions than if he had not spoken

The Old, Old Story.
Al Fairbrother's Everything.


Danville comes to the front with
another story OF sin and shame aud
death-a fallen woman named Net
tie Fox, one of the hardened crea-
lures of the Crack Head street va
riety, took dose OF cold poison and
died. 1t was carbolic acid which
she drank-and thus made her death
as horrible and as painful US pos
sible. In her life there had been some
hope-once she was the respected
daughter of good family: once she
was fair of face and feature-but
with IL sister she chose a life Of shame,
and at the age OF 33 ended it.
The sister gave out the story that
the parents were dead, but that two
brothers were living and respectable
gentlemen; but she would not give
up her real name-and it were better
that it was that way.
And here is something interesting
in the lives OF these hardened wretch
es-these hags who traffic in their
souls aud die. A young man goes
away from home, and no matter
much what he does-gets drunk,
fights, goes to police court and
prisOn-sO long as he is not guilty
Of some terrible crime, he clings to
his real name and the parents and
the kith and kin are made to suffer.
But when a woman enters upon her
life of sill, her life OF degradation,
she always has enough respect for
her peopie-for herself, if we will ad-
init ito put her other life lar away
from her. She changes her name and
becomes Flossie or Lizzie or May or
Maud-and no one will ever get her
to divulge her real name. And SO she
sins and suffers and dies unknown;
and herein the woman part OF human
nature is stronger than the man part
of human nature.
OF course We have the exceptions
now and then SO far as the man is
concerned, but generally speaking
the man is q weakling and just wheil
he should not turn up he is writing
home for money or disclosing his
name or whereabouts in some way
or other. But the woman who
knows that she has soiled her soul;
who knows that she has sunk deeper
than the brute; who realizes that
her touch would be contamination,
and her tongues purest word a lie
creeps in the shadows and hides be-
hind an assumed name. Honor her
| If it be due her kind-for the cour'
age she displays, even unto DEATH
in protecting the fair name OF q
mother and father who are innocent
| OF her crime.
Taken as directed. it becomes the creates
curative agent for the relief of suffering hu
