TO THE HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT.

The decree of the supreme court of
Massachusetts relative to the kindred
charitable purposes for which the in
come of the Thompson fund may be
used in addition to the relief and sup
port of poor seamstresses, needle women
and shop girls who may be in tempo
rary need from want of employment,
sickness or misfortune states that these
purposes may include "the erection,
equipment and carrying on of a hos
pital in which persons Of the classes
above named shall have the first privi-
lege of admission and free treatment
and if after such other persons have
been Accommodated therein there shall
be room for Others such other worthy
persons may be received as may be
convenient This section Of the de-
cree means exactly what it says. The
Brattleboro Memorial hospital is pri-
marily and principally for poor seam
stresses, needle women and shop girls
who may be in temporary need from
want of employment, sickness or mis-
fortune. They should not only be given
first consideration but, we believe, they
should be given the best the hospital
affords in the way of accommodation
and service Under existing rules Thomp-
son fund benefciaries who go to the
hospital are obliged, except in extreme
cases, to go in as ward patients unless
they have money of their own with
which to pay for private rooms. With
out wishing to quarrel with the hospital
management but solely for the sake of
ghtenment we submit the following
question: Shouldn't Thompson fund
benefciaries who enter the hospital be
given the private rooms free in prefer
ence to those who are allowed to enter
as "other worthy persons" even if the
latter are able and willing to pay the
stipulated rates for treatment?

Still the Hammer Merrily Rings.


Some of the Windham county
sportsmen" are still finding fault
with the new law postpouing the open
ing of the trout season to May 10, say
ing that it will be fine for the fisher.
men but mighty bad for the trout.
When Windham county kiekers of all
varieties are eliminated, the millennium
will have arrived and that is not ex-
pected for some time yet. Bnt that a
newspaper should be impressed by the
view of these "sportsmen," after the
course they have pursued, can only be
explained on the ground that the paper
has not kept informed as to conditions
in that section of the state, especially
as it is led to endorse the opinion that
we might be "better off with fewer
game laws and less protective legisla-
ton"

Close these streams until May 10, rs

AN UNJUST CRITICISM.

We do not believe that the senti
ments expressed in the resolutions
adopted by the Vermont Methodist con
ference relative to the operation of the
state liquor law are those of the broad
minded members of that denomination
The resolutions declare that the law
has failed to bring business to the
state or improve business already estab
lished. but on the contrary is calculated
only to promote the liquor business;
that it has not only failed to attract
summer people from outside the state
but is known to have turned away some
people who have hitherto sought rest,
quiet and recreation in Vermont; that
it has failed to diminish the crime OF
perjury in defence of liquor sellers, eX'
cept so far as it has failed to secure
their prosecution; that it has failed to
demonstrate that it is better enforced
than the law which preceded it; that it
has failed to close the low dives, either
in license or no.license towns; that it
has failed to protect towns voting no
license from the ravages of other
towns voting license; that it is respon-
sible for the overcrowded condition Of
county jails and state work houses
We have at hand no statistics to
prove that business in the state has
improved since the advent of local OPP
ton, but we doubt if the makers of the
Methodist resolutions are in possession
of any facts or figures bearing out
their claims in this respect. 1t is gen.
orally conceded, however, that YER
mont business interests were never in
a better state than at present. More
summer visitors are coming to Vermont
every year; this fact cannot be fairly
disputed. The old town agency system
made more perjurers in week than the
present law makes in year. On the
question OF culOrCemeHb lHeIe 10 ~
room for doubt. In the old prohibition
DAYS it was never difficult to procure
liquor in Brattleboro. Few people were
in sympathy with the law and its en-
forcement consequently amounted to
very little. The local town agency in
the last years of its existence was worse
than a regularly licensed establishment
for distributing liquor by the bottle,
and the pretence which those who con-
Quoted it made of observing the law
was farcical in the extreme. Since
Brattleboro voted no three years ago it
has been a dry town in fact as well as
in name, and the same can be said of
nearly every town in the state. There
is no doubt room for Improvement in
the enforcement of the local option
law, but this improvement would come
much quicker if those who make loud
noise in criticism would instead devote
their time and attention to solving the
problems that exist under the present
system.

which Is alleged TO have been sent by
them to Mrs, Eddy's counsel, Gen.
Frank s. Streetcr, on March II, Ac-
eording TO attorneys for the plaintiffs,
no answer TO this letter has been re-

which is of considerable length, refers
to the claim made by the "next

protect her property rights, and con
tains some quoted dcnials from Gen.

The letter then continues; SIN view
of these dcnials we have the honor TO
ask YOU to assist to certain steps de-
signed 10 ascertain the truth concerning
Mrs. Eddy's present and past condi

tunatoly, we have not free access to
Mrs. Eddy's presence, ms you have, and
we should reluctantly undertake to

you select three competent gentlemen

persons. selected in the same way, to
be permitted to be present. Shorthand
writers may attend to take down all

nothing taken down, as you prefer Of
course, we do not suggest that other
proper persons shall not see Mrs. Eddy
at suitable times. We are confident
that you and the counsel for the de-

about the letter, said that he did not

body of very small baby near the COW

it by a dog which was nibbling away

entirely, off and part of leg was gone.
The body was found in the door yard of
Charles Written, on the main street of
the village, by Gladstone Stewart. a a.
years-old boy who gave the alarm i'm

there for some little time, having turned
black and commenced to decompose.

1t matters not if the holes which in
former years never failed to furnish
something for the creel are still too
frigid to make an offering. Courage
and persistence form a large part of
every fisherman S nature, and the ex-
pectation that the pool just ahead may
bring about change in luck acts as
a buoy to his hopes. And when late
in the afternoon he succeeds in taking
half a dozen or more trout from a por-
ton of the stream which flows quietly
through a warm and sunny meadow he
is content to count the day well spent
even if his basket is still so light that
it hobs saucily up and down with ev-
ery step he takes. His friend, whom he
has seen at intervals throughout the
day, is likewise unburdened with any
heavy load unless the water in his
boots can be taken into the reckoning.
But he too is satisfied, and heartily sec
onds the motion that fish can be con-
sidered as only one of the many things
that contribute to the enjoyment of
the first days fishing of the year,

Cotton Bagging.

The Farmers Union of the State is
conducting vigorous campaign for
the use of cotton bagging for wrap
ping this years crop. The Union
could not undertake anything that
would be more practical or beneficial
to the cotton producer than to inau-
gurate such a policy in the handling
of this great Southern staple. The
great waste of cotton after it is baled
is an item that would not be allowed
anywhere except in the South where
we are disposed TO overlook the leaks.
The past season demonstrated the
fact that we are entirely too loose in
our methods OF handling the feecy
staple. Around our local compress
and the cotton warehouses the waste
was enormous and although the cot
ton in most instances had passed from
the hands of the farmer who raised it
there was a loss to somebody on ac-
count of poor wrapping which was
found on large per cent. of the bales.
The use of good, heavy cotton goods
around the entire bale would serve as
a proper protection, while the farmer,
when he bought his bagging and paid
a little more profit on it, would only
be taking his money out of one peck
ct and putting about the same amount
in the other. The experiment is worth
trying. Tupelo Journal.
However much the introduction
and use of cotton bagging may be de
sired as an additional consumer of
the staple, its accomplishment can
not be effected simply by resolutions
adopted by the Farmers Unions or
by universal consent that it is the
proper movement to take. An i'm
mense expense would be involved to
have the goods manufactured and
placed on the market. This should
be the especial object and work of the
Southern Cotton Association as an
organization who in its corporate
capacity is in position to accomplish
results that cannot be attained by in
dividual or unOrganized effort. The
energies of the association directed
to the contamination of the cotton
bagging plan would far more greatly
promote the cotton industry than any
thing that can ever be realized from
advising reduction of acreage, knock
ing out the middleman, or the inaugu-
ration of warehouse rules for the sale
of the staple. The question is, why
has not the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton taken hold of the subject since
its first agitation some time ago?
