SENATE bOSlNESS.
A feature of the proceedings of the
senate was the debate when house bill
rs, by Mullaly, providing for an in.
heritance tax for the benefit of the
university. came up for passage. 1t
was attacked by Day of Cassia, Hart
of Fremont, Butler of Baine and
Walter of Boise. These insisted that
the money should go into the public
school fund or into the general fund
of the state. 1t became apparent the
bill would probably fail.
Truitt, in charge of the measure,
then said he was glad to have the bill
80 thoroughly discussed, and that
fl ON what had been said he gathered
that there we're tHat incipal objec-
tions to the bill. one being the limi-
tation to estates of $40, 900 and over
and the other the designation of the
university as a beneficiary of that tag.
In regard to the first objection he
said that the question was with him
wholly a matter of principle and tina
he was perfectly willing an amend
ment be made placing the limit of
the value of estates under the law at
s25, 600, or even $50, 900. The Sec
ond objection he was also willing to
have done away with by an amend
ment that should place the tax to the
credit of other state institutions as
we'll as the p1iVersity, for the reason
that the obi I'll 81 giving the tax to the
state university was simply to relieve
the taxpayers of the burden of a reRu-
lar tax levy for the institution. The
bill has heen made special order for
Thursday.

CHARLES MINER,
Senator Dillingham;.
Mortified News.l

Vermonters may well feel proud of the
distinction won by Senator Dillingham; in
the United States Senate.
Since entering that body in 1900, his ad-
vancement has been steadily upward, I'M
til in this comparatively short time, it is
stated upon high Washington authority,
he enjoys the utmostconfidence OF the
President and his colleagues and every
other public man with whom he has come
in contact
When Senator Dillingham; was elected
to Congress he was without particular
national prominence; but the people of
Vermont knew him. He had served them
with faithfulness and distinction from
the smaller to the highest state office.
In Congress Senator Dillingham; has all
ready been active in carrying forward
some of the most important measures in
national legislation. His work on the
immigration question, one of the
most important and far reaching among
the problems now confronting the country,
has been recognized in his selection as one
of the three senators on the commission
provided for by act of Congress TO make
a thorough investigation of the subject of
! immigration. 1t is now probable that SEN
ator Dillingham; will be made chairman
of this important body upon its organiza-
ton next month.
Certainly Senators Proctor and Dilling-
ham are fully maintaining the prestige so
| long held by Vermont's representatives
in the upper branch of Congress.

pieces of the woman's auxiliary to the

fulfilled all that had been said about
them in advance. The audience was
large one and the variety which the pro-
gram offered was great enough to supply
numbers to suit everyone. 1t would be
impossible to pick out any one number
which pleased the audience more than
any other, but "Springtide" by Miss lima
w. j. Marsh probably ranked among the
ION the Sea-" by the Home city quar-
tet, seemed to be a universal favorite
The opening number. the bridal chorus
from THE Rose Maiden" by the double
quartet gave the audience a taste of
what was to follow and all settled down
for an evening of unbroken enjoyment
c. b. Richardson of the Home City quar-
tet broke the musical program with a

faction which the success of the concert
from musical standpoint gave the mem

all bills had been paid that more than

made possible through the courtesy of
some of those who assisted in the detail
of preparing for the concert who refused
any payment for their services.

RETURN OF THE BUTTERFLIES.
The Species Which Have Appeared Re-
Gently Keep Alive Throughout the
Winter-Caterpllars About May I.

one of the most surprising signs OF the
return of spring is the temperance OF
the large purplish brown butterflies with
the broad band Of bun on the edge of
each wing. They appeared in large num-
hers last Saturday and were common
again Wednesday They are among the
few butterflies that live through the win
ter in a state of Information and come
out ON the first warm days Of spring.
Most butterflies remain through the cold
season I'm the chrysalis state. between
the caterpillar stage and the perfect but
terfy This species hides away in cor
ncT out of the wind and remains in
kind Of stupor throughout the cold wcat
err Recent Investigate on has shown that
even in the coolest weather they move
about slightly ana that they return to
active life whenever the weather Is warm
enough, even in midwinter These that
come out OF the alternating state now lay
their eggs about the middle Of April and
about two weeks later the Caterpillars
hatch out. They feed vOraCiousy on the
leaves Of the willow, poplar and elm and
about the last OF June go into a chrys-
ais stage The chrysalis Is a shapeless
object, dun gray in color, which hangs on
| the under side Of fence rails or in similar
| positions. The perfect butterfly comes
| forth from the chrysalis early in July and
| proceeds to lay eggs which go through
| the same cycle and produce perfect but
! terfiies late in September, which fly about
until November and then go into hiber-
| nation. In the North where the seasons
! are shorter, only one set of eggs develops
| in year and in the South II is supposed
/ that three or even more cycles are gone
! through with. The butterflies which APP

Some curious facts are given about the
uses which the economical Chinese make
of spent tea leaves. In the first place,
they may be dried and pressed into bricks
to be used as fuel. one use of this fuel is
in curing pork, and pork thus cured is
highly esteemed. The ashes Of the fuel
are used as a fertilizer. At other times
the spent leaves are stewed, or allowed to
stand long time in water, TO extract the
tannin, which is used in making leather
and for producing a nut-brown dye.
Sometimes the old leaves are used for
fodder, or they may be mixed with new
leaves to form what is known as "lie-tea "

Alleged Horse Kicking Case In West
minister.

The case of Fred S. Kimball against
OTen Smith over payment for a kicking
horse was tried in Westminster Tuesday
before Justic s. M. Nutting. Attorney
A. +. Schwenk was counsel for the plain
tiff and Judge Ernest w Gibson for the
defendant. Suit was brought by. Mr.. Kim
ball to recover 800, the purchase price
of the horse, for which Mr.. Smith had
given him check but had stopped pay
ment on the check before it was cashed
Mr.. Smith alleged that the horse had
been represented as sound and kind and
that instead of being kind II had kicked
him twice. The horse had been returned
to Mr., Kimball The testimony of the
plaintiff tended to show that before he
had sold the horse and after it had been
returned to him it had been handled by
several experienced horsemen, all of whom
testified that the horse was never known
to kick Judgment was given for the
plaintiff for the recovery of the 500 and
costs, The defendant appealed
