vided after the opening of the fair. All
breeds ADAPTED to New England were
present and the quality of all was of the
highest. Shropshires led in numter,
closely followed by Southdowns, the
Hampshires and Merinos. The sheep
exhibit as a whole seemed to indicate
that Vermont farmers are returning TO an
old-time source OF revenue and pros
perity.
The horse exhibit was simply grand
and this as regards every class; the gen
tlemsn's driver, the draft horse, the
trotter and PAGER. The United Stetes
Government had an interesting exhibit
OF SIX Morgans from It's Aiddlebury
far.n. and in addition there were numer-
ous individual exhibits of this breed
that for so many years has ueeu idcnti-
fed with Vermont farm history Incl
dent to the great fair was the Installation
Of eight gcuariums in which were placed
brook trout from Lake Mitchell, Sharon;
brook trout from Caspian lake. Greens
boro: wa!l-eyed pike and black bass
from Lake Champlain, and lingering
trout. This exhibit wss not OILY an eZ-
ceptioEal novelty. but deeply interesting
and instructive. There were also on the
grounds a pen Of English pheasants end
e cage Of two measly-lCoking fawn deer.
one of which ii was said was III from an
attacl. of blind staggers. The exhibit Of
the pheasants and fawus was by the
Vermont Fish and Game commission.
Ali OF the exhibition halls, save that Of
horticulture. were well filed with eE-
Eibits of genuine merit as whole. Inc
dairy exhibit was not extensive, but
high in quality. a. was also the show OF
maple sugar and syrup. In fruit there

Appealed to Washington.

L. l. Bass, whose extensive lumber
business entails a good deal OF shipping
and railroad traffic. has suffered with
other shippers in freight delays, causing
both annoyance and loss, and in other
unsatisfactory railroad methods, that
might, il would seem, be bettered TO the
greater advantage Of Gil concerned.
In November and December last. Mr..
Bass sent five cars of lumber from White
River Junction to Boston, which should
have been billed via Bellows Falls and
the Boston & Maine. but went, instead,
by way OF Palmer and the Boston &
Albany, with a resulting oyercharge Of
1896, due to wrong routing.
He called the attention Of the freight
department OF the Central Vermont TO
the oyercharge but was unable to per-
suade the department that any overcharge
existed except IN his imagination until
he referred the matter TO the Interstate
Commerce commission at Washington.
Then a change took place in the attitude
OF the Central Vermont. the head Of
whose freight traffic gave the subject his
personal attention, found the overcharge
TO be real fact. and was pleased 70
voucher for the amount involved at once.
The incident serves to show that when
patience ceases to be a virtue and people
are ready TO demand proper service and
right treatment, big corporations find II
eXpedient TO pay difference to their
wishes.
1t i considered highly probable in
some quarters that a determined effort
on the part OF the public might secure
for towns along the Central Vermont q
schedule that really indicated the arrival
Of passenger trains and a local freight
service to which shippers could safely
trust.

THE CRIME OF CfllBACY

The peril that the nation faces
because of the growing disinclina
ton of the American people to
marry were strongly dwelt upon
in an address delivered recently by
DR.. @. Stanley Hall, president of
Clark University, at the centennial
celebra ton of the University of
Maryland. He said in part:
There is a growing tendency to
celibate life. From an exhaustive
study of the statistics of the grad
yates of nine of our Oldest colleges
for men and and four for women
it appears that ten years after
graduation about one fourth of the
men and one half of the woman
remain unmarried.
In our grandfathers' days mar
riages were early and contracted
ljoyfully, almost as a matter of
course, but now, not only in our
land but in every country in West
ern Europe, especially among
those in easy circumstances, young
men and women delay, deliberate
on the attractions of single and
welded life.
They consider social and even
pecuniary pros and cons, until the
golden dawn of youth advances to
the high noon of maturity aud, in
Herbert Spencer's phrase. "The
motives that make for individual
ton become too strong for those
that make for genesis
The love of freedom, the desire
to escape domestic responsibility,
club life, the increasing expense
all such motives should be as moth
ing to the fultillment of the great
laws of nature and of God.
do maintain that every man
without the handicap of grave
hereditary disease and with even
a comfortable wage, should
marry.
"That our girls should be train
ed for home life, rather than to
secretly nurse the idea of single
blessedness, and to ape mannish
ways, and that even those thus
trained will thereby be best fitted
for self-support, should that be
their fate. If the cynical views of
the welded state, too rife
in the press and in conversation
shake the healthful instructive
faith that joys are doubled and
troubles haIved, then [ would
even urge that as it is the'childrens
duty to pay taxes, and, if able
bodied, to take up arms if his
country's life is at stake; so we'd
lock is a social, patriotic and
religious duty, which it should
be point of honor not to shirk.

Preparatory to the reduction in
passenger rates by law, all second
class fares have been abolished on
the lines of the Central Passenger
Association. The action was taken
at meeting of the rate clerks of
the association in Pittsburg. The
explanation given was that as the
legislators of Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois had forced first class fares
down to 2 cents a mile, second
class fares would be of no further
use. While the Pennsylvania law
may prove defective, the railroads
recognize that such a law has to
come, sooner or later, and are pre-
pairing for it. The order for
second class fare abolition becomes
effective July /.

The Southern States have sur.
rendered their quarantine to the
federal government. Congressman
Tawney uses this as one of his
illustrations of the tendency among
the states to shake their burdens
on to the national government and
thus assist in the centralizing
tendencies of the government.
The South gave up control of its
quarantine system to protect the
s.s4aalth Of its people. 1t had been
found that state and local quaran-
tine, with few exceptions, did not
accomplish this.
