lnterspersed IN the parade were
Indians, plug uglles, clowns, etc.
The last but not least IN the
parade was Uncle Josh, his wife
Samantha, and their son Hiram,
who had come to town TO see the
Fourth. These characters were well
represented and cansed much merri-
ment for the kids and some of the
old folks as we'll.
After covering the line of march,
the parade stopped at the pavilion
where the exercises were held.
The immense hall was soon filled
to overfowing and many were
turned away. The program was as
follows:
Invocation by Rey. Waite
Music by St. Charles band.
Song, America.
Reading of Declaration of Inde-
pendence by Mayor Cruikshank.
Vocal solo by Florence Under
wood.
Address by Judge Cough.
Song, Star Spangled Banner.
Benediction by Bishop Clark.
Judge Cough made most pleas
ing address and he was listened to
attentively by the vast audience.
The exercises completed the fore.
moons program and every body made
an effort to satisfy their inner man,
Chas. Hager and his corps of as
sistants, had q delicious Mulligar
stew ready on the city lot, opposit,
the pavilion and fed something owe
400 people. The Village Improve
ment society also served coffee
sandwiches, Ice cream, cake an'
lemonade there and they did I
"land Office business. J."
The races and other sporting
events started at 1880. Each even
advertised was pulled off and som
OF the contests were close and exciI
ing. We were unable to secure th
names of the winners in the severa
contests.
The baby show in the pavilion q
o'clock was an interesting event
Thirteen babies were entered in th
contest and the judges had anythin
but an easy time deciding who weT
eutitled to the prizes. However
after half hours deliberstion, the
made the following decisions:
First prize Eleanor, l2 month
= old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Die
Wheelan.
Second prize-Merlin, Q month
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. jess
:, Dunn.
Third prize-Leona, . months ol
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jam.
Dimick.
From until o'clock The chill
rem were entertained at free dam
in the pavilion and 200 or more lit
folks enjoyed themselves hugely.
The festivities of the day clos
with a grand bali in the pavilion
night. This was attended by ful
thousand people, and the spacio
dance floor was taxed TO its ntmc
:. capacity. 1t was a jolly crow
though, and everybody had q 60
time. Dancing continued until
o'clock this morning.
Ice cream, cake and lemona
:, were served in the hall by the lad
of the Gem of the Mountain Clr
!. and they we're literally patroniz'

a GLORIOUS FOURTH
The Celebration in Montpelier was
a Grand Success.
THE PARADE WAS GRAND

ing Sporting Events In After
noon and Grand Ball in Pa
vihOn at Night


Montpeher's celebration yester-
day was carried out to the satisfac
ton of the large crowd of spectat-
ora and all who participated in it.
The day was az ideal one-not too
hot bat just hot enough to make the
kids want lots of lemonade, soda
water, ice cream, etc.
The first event of the day was the
parade, which started at lO:s0, and
It was q success in every particular.
While there were probably not as
many floats in line as there were at
the last celebration here, what was
lacking in numbers was made up
by the attractive appearance of each
float. The public floats that were
prepared by the committees were
especially fine and were favorably
commented upon by the throng Of
spectators.
The parade was led by George
and Martha Washington. They
rode N gaiIy bedecked carriage
and a. colored gentleman led their
prapeiBg steed.
4 They were followed by martial
band, which rendered lively music
and awakened in many "the spirit
of TO-"
The float bearing the Goddess of
Liberty came next. Miss Eftie Per-
kins, who was chosen to represent
that important character, made a
most charming Goddess. She was
attired in beautiful gown of white
and was attended by the Misses
June Hull, Irene Thomas and Ollie
Robinson.
The st. Charles band followed,
dlscoursing patriotic music during
the time of parade and throughout
the balance of the day.
Mayor. Cruikshank, with judge
Cough, orator of the dag, and som'
of the city officials followed IN
carriage.
Miss Minnie Ridd, as Queen 0
Idaho, with four young gentlemen
attendants, came next ia beautiful
" decorated float. Miss Ridd wa
robed in a gown of purple AM
white and made real queenly ap
pearance.
An,old prairie schooner, contain
ing number of the pioneers of tn
valley, was next in line and IL re
called to the minds of many the el
periences of the pioneer days.
Montpelier's first store was repr'
sented on the next foat, in a cha
acterlstic manner.
The next foat contained two scol
or more of girls, each carrying

A Hotel Hermit.

It seems a curious thing that a man should choose enc of London's largest and busiest hotels for a hermitage Yet for years a man lived in one of these famous hostelries absolutely Sc cluded from the world without and within. He occupied the same rooms for 20 years, and the only time that he ever left them was at each mid. night, when he went out for air and recreation. which he took in an open square near by. He never spoke to any one in the hotel, except to one of the proprietors and his waiter. who served him faithfully for the score of years he spent under the same roof with him. None of the hotel patrons ever saw him. Hc never received wis. tors and no letter or communication was delivered 10 him during his so- iOurn there. Despite all the mystery surrounding him and his remarkable silence. the man went through life in an otherwise sane way. He had plen. ty of money. apparently. but no one knew where the money came from.

and must be replaced by a new h. | dia. Some may regret this, but we | must face the facts. myself welcome the change and see in it the only hope for a rehabilitation of our people. With the passing of old India will not only go her old political institutions. but the old industrial and economic conditions as well. We are making a complete economic shift, replacing old methods with modern new ones, chang ing the hand loom for the machine, the cart for the railway the sailboat for the steamship, the messenger for the telegraph and telephone, and so gradually through all walks of indus try.
 'In this evolution and the condition which will come from it we natives want at least aa equal chance to- profit in the ordinary material way. At present these opportunities are practically monopolized by foreigners. l do not blame them entirely for this. It is the result, perhaps inevitable, of circumstances. But we object to it continuing forever With the custom ary exceptions the following state- ment is true of foreigners residing in India. of whom the greater number are British. They regard their residence here as only temporary, until they can acquire fortune or competence, look ing forward to return to England or Europe to live out their lives. This ap- plies to Britishers born in India, to whom England is always home AL though all their property and mate rial interests are here, they seem to consider Englands advantage over that of India and our development. When. these interests conflict, as they frequently do and which they will do more and more in the future, it is al ways India which must yield, or at least it is not of the interest of India that they think irst.'
 While the present ferment in India is in sense manifestation of per ennial unrest, the cause of many ex- plosions in the past, it has its particu- lar sentimental genesis, and this is the success of Japan over Russia. It is the first cousin of The Oriental for Orientals. China for the Chinese" and similar catch-phrase doctrines. Dense as the mass in India is, the vic tory of Japan has penetrated its inner consciousness. In fact, much pains was taken to see that it did. Within the last year the whole east has been plastered with cheap motion picture shows, almost invariably managed by itinerant Japanese. I have attended these exhibitions in various parts of China, at Hongkong, at Singapore, at Rangoon, and in India.
 A Chinese or Indian coolie cannot be reached by literature, as a rule, ex- cept indirectly; but he is absolutely open to impressions from pictures which represent action, the authenti- city of which he does not dream of questioning, and which show the white race he has so long respected and feared. beaten at war by a dark-skin. ned brother. In this way has the mes sage which Japan's victory carries to the east been communicated to the masses in China and India.

MILK-FED HORSES
NEW SYSTEM OF RAISING RACE
 HORSES MAY DO WONDERS.
American at Paris Named Hatmaker Rearing Colt on New Diet-He- markabIe Development
 the Horse Shows.

Milk-fed chickens bring the highest prices as table Selicacy, and milk fed horses bid fair to win the most stakes on the race track. An impor- tant scientific experiment is being tried by James R. Hatmaker, an American residing in Paris, and he has established the fact that colts grow and develop much faster on dry milk than upon the foods ordinarily given to them, and that a horse can work harder and train better on dry milk than on any other food
 Although milk is known to be a complete food--a food that contains all the elements necessary for the growth and repair of human beings and animals-it is not generally real ized that when 1t is reduced to a dry powder, by the evaporation of its wa ter, we have highly concentrated natural food that is several times more nutritive than, meat That this must be so will be readily seen when It Is remembered that liquid milk, as It comes from the COW, contains seven parts of water to each part of nutri- tive solids, and that one pound of dry milk is as nutritive as eight pounds of liquid milk. When the water of liquid milk is evaporated instantane- ously upon cylinders heated in excess or zl2 degrees Fahrenheit, as it now done in all countries, the nutritiye milk solids are obtained in the form of beautiful white powder which is known as dry milk or milk-powder. Owing to the high heat of the drying cylinders all germs that are present in the liquid milk are destroyed and the milk is robbed of its dangers and made a perfectly safe, solid food.
 What gave Mir. Hatmaker the idea that thoroughbred colts could be ad- Vantageously reared on this dry milk was the fact that children fed upon 1t and grew and developed much more rapidly than upon any other food. He. therefore, concluded that if a colt could be fed upon 1t it would reach development much earlier than colts fed in the ordinary way, and that he might get horse with the physical development of a three-year-old in two years, or the development of a four-year-old in three years. He, therefore, bought thoroughbred colt 26 days old and took it from its mother and fed it upon dry milk. He gave 1t no other food--except a small quantity of hay to give bulk-and his expectation was soon realized. He weighed the colt every day and found that it gained over two and a half pounds daily, and when it was one year old it weighed 752 pounds. and had gained at least four months on colts fed in the ordinary way.
 He continued the feeding with dry milk-never giving the horse parti- cle of grain-and his horse reached

At that time it weighed 1,012 pounds. and had gained s25 pounds in the 5S3 days that had in- teryened since 1t was weaned, an av- craze of over one and a half pounds a day. The horse had beaten all records of growth by several months. and he was a most perfect example of development.
 Having every reason for thinking that the horse would train better on dry milk than on graIn-the dry milk containing five times as much d. gestible. muscle-making material as oats, and 12 times as much as hay Mir. Hatmaker has never given him any other food. and his horse-named Azote will soon be seen in the great European races for twoyear-olds. He is a beautiful horse. with wonderful muscles, and his trials give the best reasons for thinking that he wiu be a great race horse. He is engaged in the Grand Prix of Brussels the French derby. the English derby. th. French Grand Prix. and the English St Leger of next year. and his per fornances will be watched with the greatest interests by the public.
 The interesting experinment Of Mr. Hatmaksr has been officially reported to the cOngres HiPpique. lthe French association of horse breederxl by tho vellknown French chemist. N. Grand eau. and the results obtained have been pointed out by him 10 be of the greatest importance.
