July Is, 1871.
Editor, The Middlebury Register,
Middlebury, Vermont.
Dear Sir:
presume that your readers have been
informed before this that the Department
has purchased the stallion General
Gates" to head the stud at the Morgan
Horse Farm, near Middlebury, Vermont
The purchase was made after careful
consideration of the qualifications OF
many stations and their get, and this
horse was chosen on account of his ex-
cellence as an individual and his record
as sire.
He will be available for service to
limited number of mares owned by pri-
vate individuals. These mares must be
first approved by Mr.. Hammond, the
Superintendent of the Farm, before SER
vice will be allowed and the owner of the
mare will be expected to give the Depart
ment an option on the foal at weaving
time at a. price to be mutually agreed
upon. Some objection has been eX-
pressed to this requirement: but little
consideration of our motives for making
it will show that it is not unreasonable.
The object of the Morgan horse breeding
work of the Department is to restore the
Morgan blood and improve the horses of
the country, particularly those of New
England. To this end, we should have as
good collection of horses for the pur-
pose as can be found. AS we believe
that the stallion at the head of the stud is
one Of the best obtainable for this pur-
pose and as we believe we can accom-
plish the b est results by using him, we
naturally wish to have as much blood
from him as we can obtain. The horse
breeding work is not money making
scheme for the Department. If we are
to bring the stud to the highest point OF
excellence, it will be necessary for us to
retain the best individuals which we
breed ourselves and in view of the limit
ed number of mares in the stud, we
should be able to command the best foals
which outsiders may obtain by breeding
to a Government stallion.
AS the stud grows, its influence on the
State and the surrounding country will
become more and more effective. just
what will be done with surplus stock suit
able for breeding purposes the Depart
ment is not yet in position to say. 1t
is quite likely that additional legislation
will be necessary. by Congress before any

keith's Theatre.

Special preparations have been made
at Keiths to make Old Home Week
most memorable occasion. Realizing
that Keith's Theatre, Boston, is looked
upon as the representative vaudeville
theatre of the country, a program has
been arranged that will uphold this nep-
utation.
1t is particularly fitting that the Fa-
dettes are to head the bill, for this, the
best female orchestra ever organized, is
distinctively a Boston institution. AS
usual during its summer engagement at
Keith's, there will be forty players under
the baton of Caroline B. Nichols. The
programs will be made of popular selec-
tons. as in former years
The best comedy sketch seen in vaude-
vile during the past year will be one of
the features. Its title is Peaches and
it is the work of George V. Hobart.
William Courtleigh plays the role of
John Henry" sporty young man who
has reformed,
There has never been more attractive
stage spectacle than Grigolatis Aerial
Ballet, which will hold a place on the
festival bill. The climax of this act is
particularly beautiful.
"A Night with the Poets" George
Romans artistic presentation, remains
for a second week, but with change of
poems and pictures. The poets from
whose works selections will be made are
Longfellow, Whittier and Holmes.
Clifford and Burke, the representative
black face comedians and dancers Work
and Over, who do very novel acrobatic
comedy turn; Leo GARLIC, mimic and
monologist; The Gregsons, in dainty
singing and dancing sketch; James and
Prior, travestyists, and the Kinetograph,
which will show some special views of
Boston, will complete the gala program.

society for the elimination of the devil
wagons from the public highways.
Mr.. Hapgood's open letter to Colonel
Battell follows, and is self-explana-
tory:
1.-The longer live, the more con-
WINGED am of the soundness of the posi-
ton you have taken in regard to the
automobile.
"With the ordinary horse, the ordi-
nary driver, upon the ordinary country
road, there is no assurance of safety
and never will be, 80 long as automobiles
are at large.
81 firmly believe that the automobile
has no common law rights to the high
way, any more than a railway steam
engine would have. The town authori.
ties have right, as l understand, to
exclude Objectionable horses, even, for
whose use the highways were made,
Much more have they the right to ex-
clude these terrifying machines for whose
use not rcd of our highways was ever
made.
81 believe, If carried up, the supreme
court, left unbiased, would uphold the
selectmen of any town in closing their
highways to the use of what they
deemed Objectionable self-propelling ma
chimes.
cat any rate, there is, and can be
no reason why it should not be ar
ranged so that certain roads can b'
closed with the approval of the State o.
County Road commissioner. A cam
paign upon this basis should be begun
begun early, and begun with vim.
Although am well aware that thu
automobile people have the under hold
SO far as influence with the would-b
powers is concerned, yet the common
people, if they will be alive to their ad
, vantages, can arrange this matter to thei
liking. Rutland Evening News.

thing is done. A plan should be adopted
which will enable owners of horses to i'm.
prove their stock on fair terms. At any
rate, the public may rest assured that no
animals will be allowed to leave the farm
for breeding purposes except those of a
high degree of excellence.
In conclusion, let me state that the
use of General Gates" on outside mares
is privilege at the command of the
owners of good mares conditional on the
quality of these mares and the number of
mares owned by the Department. The
horse will be stood on the same terms to
all without favor to anyone. The Super.
intendent of the Farm, Mr.. w. F. Ham.
mond, Middlehury, Vermont, can give
further details.
Very respectfully,

BELIEVED TO BE A HYPoCRITE.

perhaps the reason the officers can
not find John ID. Rockefeller so as to
serve their subpoena upon him and bring
him into court is because he has gone
out into the country somewhere to en-
dow another church. st. Adams Mes
senger.
This is a sharp shaft of sarcasm, but
who says it is not merited ? True relig-
ion suffers greatly from the arrant hy-
pocrisy that hides under the guise of as
sumed piety. A conspicuous example is
Rockefeller. He delights in his promi-
nence and activity as a church worker,
and lectures Sunday school classes like
an Apostle Paul. The world sizes him
up as grasping money shark who has
accumulated millions by methods not at
all consistent with his professions, and
who exhibits keen contempt for the pub
lie and even for law, so far as he can.
All his prating about high morality, all
his immense public benefactions, do not
serve to square" him before the popular
sentiment that his acts, and those of his
subordinates, have created.-Randolph
Herald.

SHOULD WE KEEP CUBA ?

The question perhaps most prominent
" before the American public today is
iShould we keep Cuba 2" The past
record of the Cubans raises doubt as to
their ability to maintain anything APP
preaching a stable and effective form of
government without the help of the
United States, and if Cuba is judged in
capable, should the United States take
the form of protectorate or of definite
and unequivocal annexation. Robert
Howard Russell in an article bearing the
title "Shouid We Keep Cuba ?" in the
June number of The Metropolitan Maya
zine, discusses the pros and cons of this
question after an experience of several
weeks of personal investigation in the

AUTO ON WRONG SIDE.
Team Struck Near Fall River,
Mass, Last Night.

Fall River, Mass, July 19.-Frank +.
Chace and Joseph F. Donnelly of this
city were driving last night about 80
below the narrows on the New Bedford
pike, when they were struck by an
automobile. Both were thrown from
their vehicle and Clark's condition is
very serious. Their buggy was
wrecked.
The automobile was bound toward Fall
River and contained four occupants.
The men were driving on the right side
of the road and the chauffeur it is said.
made no effort to turn out. He sent
his machine away at top speed after the
accident. Efforts to get the machines
number failed and the only clew is a
broken headlight"
This is one of a thousand instances
which are constantly occurring and al.
ways will. as long as steam or motor
engines are allowed to run upon our pub
lie roads. There is no possible question
in regard to this proposition, and every
body endowed with ordinary sense knows
it. See the record last week in Massachu-
sets.
We quote again from the Boston Jour-
nal:
NINE PERSONS KILLED.
The Safe Roads Automobile Associa-
ton organized and began its work on
June IA.
From that date to July 10-twenty-
six days-there have been ninetytwc
accidents in Massachusetts alone, called
to our attention. Forty-three pedes'
trians have been injured by automobiles
nearly two day.
In twenty-six days there have beer
forty-nine collisions between automobile
and other vehicles or automobiles.
In twenty.six days nine foot passen
gers have been killed and thirty-four in
jured.
Three automobiles. after an accident
went away without stopping, and three
who had accidents, displayed no nun
bers.
But THREE CONVICTIONS.
In this time, only three persons hav'
been convicted of reckless driving ant
their licenses revoked, so far as we cal
ascertain, and two licenses have beel
suspended"
This is practical murder, on whole
sale scale, with generally no punish
ment. But the legislature, which ALLOW
these engines upon our public highways
are in the first place responsible, and tn
parties that ought to be first punished
For they know perfectly well that thes
murders must certainly take place an
will continue to as long as automobile
are allowed to run upon our highways.

matters in connection with the

gineer, reported that work on
the Allen creek and Willow
creek bitches was progressing
most satisfactorily and that the
contractors were working
night and day gangs on both
bitches. The Pollard Camp

the contract of the Western
Dredging company for the
Boyer cutoff bitches, expects
to have it's dredge at work on
this portion of the drainage
system by July /, at the latest.
