Fossils in Amber.

Fossil hair is a geological novelty.
The insects preserved in amber have
long since been studied and described
carefully, with the result that in most
cases they have been found to approx
mate closely to living types. A Ger
man naturalist has now found hairs
of mammals which suggest the dor
mouse, although, as it has not yet
been found possible to Identify them
with those of any known genus, it has
been suggested that they indicate an
extinct ancestral type.

Death Of Ex.spsak.r Asna.r,on.

Col. David Bremner Henderson. speaker
OF the House OF Representatives In the
56th and 57th Congresses. died at
Dubuque. Iowa, Sunday. He had been
failing since last May, when he was
stricken with paralysis. He was born in
Old Deer. Scotland. March II. 1s4O. but
his parents came to this country when he
was six years old settling first in Illinois
and later in Iowa. Henderson was a
student at Upper Iowa college, Fayette
in 1861, and as a result OF speech which
he made nearly the entire student body
OF the college stamped for the front in
the civil war. Henderson declined a
captaincy on the ground that he was toe
young-19--and entered the service as a
private. At Fort Donelson he was shot
In the face, but refused to leave the field
and soon afterward he was commissioned
first lieutenant. At the battle OF Corinth
he was wounded in the foot. Amputation
was necessary. the first operation was
not properly performed, and several other
amputations followed. until the entire leg
was removed. In 1864 Henderson went
back to the army as colonel OF the 46th
Iowa volunteers. After the war he
studied law and became successful in his
profession. He was elected to Congress
In 1882, and reelected every two years
until he withdrew from the campaign for
reelection to the 5Sth Congress after he
had been nominated His retirement caused
widespread speculation in Washington
but he declined to discuss the reasons
which actuated him.
One Of the most important pieces OF
legislation with which Mr.. Henderson
was Identified while in Congress was the
bankruptcy law, which he as chairman
of the judiciary committee reported and
forced through the House. He was q
strong advocate OF the election Of United
States senators by the people, and he
never neglected a chance to help the
cause Of the civil war veterans in the
House. While speaker OF the House he
opposed the ship subsidy bill and vigor-
ously fought tariff revision and Cuban
tariff reduction. His incumbency OF the
office was so successful and his service
In Congress had been so long that his
retirement in unhappy circumstances be-
came the most dramatic episode OF his
career.

c. A. Prouty on Railroad Rate Regulation.

c. A. Prouty on Railroad Rate Regulation.
Hon. Charles A. Prouty OF the Inter-
state Commerce commission gave very
important address before the Massa-
chusetts state Board OF Trade at a meet
ing held at the Hotel Vendome in Bos-
ton Monday. The purpose Of the address
was to show that the business and in
dustrial interests Of New England have
nothing to fear from the endowment of the
commission with additional powers in the
control of railroad rates as proposed by
the Hepburn bill. The essential changes
which this bill proposes, Mr.. Prouty said,
are those placing private car lines and
refrigerating and elevator charges under
the commissions Jurisdiction, and pro-
vidng that the accounts Of railroad com
panies shall be kept in a certain way and
that they may be examined by the com
mission just as book examiner ex-
amincs the affairs Of National bank.
The provisions for just and reasonable
rates will remain the same as now, but
there will be this difference-tnat where
as now the commission can only recon-
mend the adoption of its conclusions,
under the proposed amendment II will
have the power to enforce their adoption.
Mr.. Prouty quoted numerous examples to
show that past decisions OF the commits
sion have acted favorably on New Eng
land interests, and also to show that
what the New England territory needs is
rate regulation not 50 much for protection
against its own railroads as for defence
against the Distributing charges OF rail-
roads operating entirely outside the New
England field.
In closing his address Mr. Prouty stated
plainly his belief that ''it q neither n
decent nor a wise thing to permit the
monopolists Of this country to control
without governmental check. as they do
today our commercial highways"

lie was for years the local leader Of the
Democratic party, but he was opposed to
the radical doctrines of Democracy in re-
cent years and since 1896 had done no
active work except in the town repre-
sentative contest of 1902. when his inti
mate friend. the late Dr. Conland. was

cratic county committee several years
He consented once to serve for a year as

Mr.. Childs's home life was ideal. The
death OF his wife was blow from which
he never recovered, and the departure
soon afterward Of his boys into pursuits
Of business life elsewhere left him alone
In the home where he had always known
so much OF cheer and companionship.
Then followed his forced retirement from
the work which he had so long followed
He returned home early in February after
stay Of FIVE weeks in Bermuda and
since his arrival had seemed cheerful and
he spoke with something like his old-time
enthusiasm Of the pleasures Of the trip.
On Wednesday. when he attempted to
write In the Office Of his uncle, r. S.
Childs, his hand fell helpless His re-
marks then indicated his belief that his
days OF usefulness were over To a man
VINO had known so much OF the pleasure
OF intensified activity and OF home life,
the contrast OF helplessness and loneliness
brought the mental condition which re-
suited in the extremely sad end
Mr.. Childs possessed a keen mental
endowment which was ever on the alert,
He showed always a broad and active
public spirit. He was a man OF taste and
discrimination a lover of the beautiful
things of life, kindly, hospitable generous.
deeply sympathetic. appreciative ard quick
to recognize the good works Of others, and
possessed of youthfulness of spirit which
Is found in but few men. For all these
traits, and most of all for his constant
courtesy and his exceeding kindness of
heart his memory will be held in per-
petual love by the wide circle OF his
friends.

Charles A. Prouty of the interstate COM
merce commission is not In favor with
some of the United States senators who
are undoubtedly close to the great rail-
road interests. Mr.. Prouty is too keen.
too Independent, too much in favor of a
square deal all around, and would have
power TO make the railroads keep too
close to the letter and spirit of the law
to suit the magnates should the Hepburn
bill become a law. By a piece of leger-
demain legislation an attempt is being
made to oust Mr.. Prouty from office. An
amendment which the Senate committee
on interstate commerce accepted to the
Hepburn bill provides that not more than
one commissioner shall come from the
same judicial district. Martin A. Knapp.
chairman of the commission, and Com
missioner Prouty are from the same dis
trict. the former from New York. the lat
ter from Vermont. Mr.. Prouty's term will
expire first and If the amendment was
enacted into law he would naturally be
compelled to retire. 1t was suggested by
a Washington correspondent that Mr..
Prouty might become eligible by chang
ing his residence to Boston, but when
this was called to HIS attention he re-
piled: 1T would take more than a posi-
ton as interstate commerce commissioner,
even with a salary of $4,000 to induce
me to leave Vermont"

Memorial to Late Gen. Estey.
Huntington Free Press.l

The sons OF the late Gen. Julius j.
Estey have just paid deserved tribute to
the memory OF their distinguished father
by presenting to the First Baptist church
In Brattleboro a magnificent pipe organ
as memorial, and every Vermonter who
had personal knowledge of his interest
and zeal In the church with which he was
Identified as well as in the Young Mems
Christian association and In fact every
other good cause will appreciate the fit-
ting nature Of this generous act of filia1
devotion and public spirit combined. The
organ which is made the means OF this
benefcence is a magnificent example Of
musical architecture, while those who have
tested Its qualities, its volume, depth OF
tone and comprehensive range Of musical
expression, pronounce II superior to many
instruments costing $25, 900 that can be
found in larger cities.
1t is evident that Jacob Gray Estey
and Julius Harry Estey, who have sue
ceded to the management Of the great
organ industry founded by their grand
father, Jacob Estey, and so largely ex-
tended by the late Gen. Julius Jacob Estey
and the late Gov. Levi X. Fuller, are
worthy successors Of those grand men in
philanthropic spirit as well as in business
acumen and ability. In this connection Il
should not be left unsaid that Vermont
has reason to be proud OF an industry
which can produce so magnificent an ex-
ample Of musical progress and triumph
as the memorial organ now dedicated to
sacred song and service in the church
which Gen. Estey so signally served, so
generously endowed and so grandly
honored

Tribune.E Farmer Notice,

The clubbing price Of the New York Trb.
une-Farmer will be so cents year after
April 1st.
This advance in price is made by the
publishers of the Tribune Farmer on
account Of a ruling of the Post Office
department which forbids the carriage
In the mails Of periodicals making a
reduction of more than one-half Of
their regular price for clubbing pur-
poses. The regular price OF the Trib-
une- Farmer is $100 a year, and the
25c rate has therefore been only one
fourth the regular price.
All subscriptions sent during the
month Of March will be taken at 25
cents, as heretofore, but beginning
April l the price will be so cents.

Noblesse obiIqe.

Following the formal opening OF the
new memorial organ at the Baptist
church on Thursday evening Of last week.
impressive services Of rededication OF the
renewed and rehtted interior OF the church
were held last sunday. 1t is the good for
tune Of this church to have been given
the occasion to mark another milepost
in its career in this way. Its increa sed
equipment means increased opportunity
and increased obligation--obligation to
minister not only to the inner life and
and the spiritual needs Of its own mem
bership. but to bear a larger part than
ever before in those broader movements
that uplift the whole community and
that minister to all those needs which are
common to human kind without dis
tinetion Of sect or creed.

The argument is often heard that
license fees help to pay the taxes. sucn
statement is fallacious, and will fool
no man who stops to reason a minute.
Brattleboro received from licenses less
than $4,000 year which could be
applied on taxes, or a smaller sum than
would be raised by a tax OF five per cent
on the grand list of the town. This
$4,000 was an indirect tax. not on all the
taxpayers, but upon the men who bought
liquor, very frequently the ones who could
not afford the tax. And these men also
paid the indirect tax of $4,000 which went
to the state, all the cost OF the main
tenance of the saloons and all the profits
that went into the pockets Of the
liquor sellers. From a financial stand
point the saloon is a losing game to a
community like Brattleboro. to say moth
ing OF all the disorder, drunkenness,
suffering and attendant evils which 1t
brings.

Vermont's experience OF three years
with new liquor law shows strong argu-
ment for local option, with but little to
be said on the side OF license License,
wherever it has been granted in the state
has been productive Of drunkenness. and
in the towns which tried license and then
changed to prohibition the improvement
in general conditions has been marked
since the saloons were wiped out. The
past year Montpelier has been license and
Barre no license. With a smaller popu-
lation the Capital city has had twice as
many arrests as the Granite city. The

Bought two cans, took off labels, sent

The chemist found 1t pure, and they
took our agency.
That is the way to find out a paint,
