The space writers in the Boston news
papers from Vermont about once in SO Of
ten discover mares nest in Vermont
politics that makes readable story, is be-
lleved by outsiders, secuted at home and
almost invariably rebuked by the prog
ress OF events. lately, one of these has
discussed the Proctor senatorial success
sion after the usual way, assuming that
the vacancy as good as exists, and trot-
ting out various candidates for the place,
among them Gov, Proctor, ex-Gov. Page,
Congressman Foster and p. w. Clement.
The Rutland Herald, while denying that
Mr.. Clement is a candidate, accepts the
rest of the story, especially as far as II re-
lates to Proctor, the son, succeeding the
father. II assumes that the Herald story
was inspired by the Proctors in order TO
further this plan, though the article GER
tainly showed no bias in favor OF any
body, however speculative it may have
been. Redfield Proctor is still senator
and will remain so as long as he can fully
discharge the duties of the office. II un-
able TO complete his present term, his re-
tirement will be so timed as 10 give ad-
vantage to nobody, certainly not his son
of whose ambition 10 succeed him there
is as yet only the merest guess by news
paper correspondents. Gov, Proctor's
personal tastes are not for public life in
Washington. He is at the head of a
great business that engages his chief at
tention. He has been happy to serve
Vermont as its governor, but we do not
understand that he yearns to be senator,
or would strive for the place, If vacan-
cy occurred. What his decision would
be il there should come an unmistakable
demand for his service, we do not know,
and in advance of any condition Great
ing it there is no need of discussing it.
In any event, "the Proctors" have neither
the power nor the disposition to pass the
senatorship down from father to son
without free verdict from the people.
Mark that.

The Busy Ten Dollar Bill.

"Mr. Brown keeps a boarding house.
Around his table sat his wife, Mrs.
Brown; the village milliner, Mrs. An
drews; Mr.. Black, the baker; Mr.. Jordan.
a carpenter, and Mr.. Hadley, -four, feed
and lumber merchant. Mr.. Brown took
80 out of his pocketbook and handed it
to Mrs. Brown with the remark that
there was $40 toward the 500 he had
promised her. Mrs. Brown handed the
Dill to Mrs. Andrews, the milliner, say
ing: That pays for my new bonnet.
Mrs. Andrews in turn passed it to Mr..
Jordan, remarking that it would pay for
the carpenter work he had done for her.
Mr. Jordan handed it to Mr.. Hadley, re-
questing his receipted bill for -four, feed
and lumber. Mr.. Hadley gave the will
back to Mr.. Brown, saying: THAT paws
SO on my board Mr.. Brown again
passed it to Mrs. Brown, remaking that
he mad now paid her the 500 he had
promised her. She in turn paid Mr..
Black to settle her bread and pastry ac-
count; Mr.. Black handed it to MIR. Had
ley, asking credit for the amount on his
Hour bill. Mr.. Hadley again returned it
to Mr. Brown with the remark that II
settled for that months board, whereup-
on Brown put it back into his pocket, OBJ
serving that he had not supposed green
back would go so far.''
But suppose Mrs. Brown had sent to a
mail-order house for the new bonnet.
then the SO would have gone out of
town and never come back.

Some surprise is manifested in the
North over Georgia's adoption of state
prohibition. This comes through lack of
information about sentiment in the South
on the liquor question. OF late years
there has been fast moving tide in the
South toward increased restriction of the
liquor traffic. From town local option,
most of the states have gone to county
option, and under this policy these states
have become virtually prohibition
throughout, so that it is only short step
to state prohibition. An actuating cause
of this tendency in the South is the status
of the negro, from whom it is the con-
slant effort of the whites in power to keep
Intoxicating liquor in order that his bes-
tial tendencies may not be so readily
aroused. In fact, temperance legislation
is considerably more radical in the South
than in the North now.

Judge Powers for the Senator

/ am given TO understand that Judge
George NJ. Powers will have strong sup
port for the position of United States
Senator when in the balance of time il
may be necessary and proper to consider
a successor to Senator Proctor. The in
formation comes from such source as to
indicate that his candidacy may be siren
uously pushed. Such movement would
necessarily eliminate Congressman Foster
from the succession-if it could-and car
ries with it his retirement to private life,
probably at the end of his present term.
Meanwhile Mr.. Fletcher, who has been
spoken of as a possible candidate for gov
ernor, is being labored with in the inter
est of harmony, to decline the use OF his
name. For this reason, and because of
his i'll health, he may refuse to enter
the contest II he does, as now seems
likely, the nomination will be as
sured to Mr.. Prouty. The turning down
of Mr.. Foster, il this can be accom-
plished, will make a place for certain
long and patient waiter on the west side.
However, nothing succeeds except sue
cess, and there are some months interven-
ing before the conventions are held.

Letter From Pasadena, California.

Pasadena, 1.-THE City Beautiful or
"Crown of the Valley" lies thirty miles
from the Pacific ocean, nesting in the
foothills, and in the shadows OF the
Sierra Madre mountains. 1t has popula-
tiCn of 8 1000 people from all parts Of the
glC b, put majority of them are Amer
lean peop'o, c. ming here from the East
and Middle VS..
The climate is mild. The mean tenn
perature for any given twelve months
does not vary much from so degrees.
The average difference between summer
and winter temperature is about IS
degrees. Although the thermometer
goes much higher here in summer than
in the East, we seldom hear of people
being overcome by heat, as there is al
ways refreshing sea breeze. The nights
are always cool. The summer evenings
are delightful, as one can sit on the
porch, go walking or riding and there is
no dampness.
Pasadena and the places throughout
the valley are noted for their fruit-growing
capabilities; their groves of oranges,
lemons and olives; orchards of apricots,
peaches and prunes; fields OF berries of
many varieties; the broad acres OF vine
yards, also many persimmons, guavas,
pomegranates and lognats. The princi-
pal nuts are walnuts and almonds.
The beauty of the scenery and salubri-
ty of the climate make it a winter resort
for tourists from the Eastern states.
There are several large hotels for their
accommodation, which are especially
noted for their beautiful grounds.

Among the most noted are the high
mountain peaks, which are 5000 feet
above sea level. Mount Lowe is famous
/ for its inclined railway and forest parks.
/ On the summit of this mountain is an
observatory, from which they send out

One place of great interest, which |

mission, three miles from here. This
ancient stone structure has stood for
over century. From it's towers swing
the same old bells; inside are the same
historic paintings, that were there when
it was built. Meetings are held there.
Most of the worshipers are Spaniards and
Mexicans.
At South Pasadena is located the great

exceeding interest and instruction.

AS CONDUCTOR
HONEYMOON SPECIAL" WILL
MAKE TOUR TO COAST, LEAv-

SION FOR NEWLYWEDS ONLY

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-Final plans
have been perfected for the famous

for so days of billing and cooling
and googooing, especial facilities
having been provided for Dan Cupid

This decided novelty in railway
transportation is to be inaugurated
by the Northwestern, the Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific lines
Efforts will be made to contine the
entire passenger list to newlyweds,
but reservations are being accepted

en- their honeymoon trip.
The idea originate in the fertile
brain of s. A. Hutchinson, manager
of the tourist department of the
Northwestern and Pacific roads. Mr..
Hutchinson is roly-poly and fair
representative of Cupid. For years
he has observed, with anguish, the
fact that newly-wedded couples are
made the butt of much fun and fire.
quently annoyance on their wedding
trips.
Hence the honeymoon special"
which they can do Just as they like
without any coarse jokes or other
interference on the part of outsiders.
The train itself will be the finest
ever equipped. There will be
Christmas tree, an unusually fine
Christmas dinner, holiday carols,
concerts in the library car and the
celebration of several birthdays.
Mr.. Hutchinson is in correspond
ence with a number of couples in the
East who will make the trip. He
watches the announcements Of
forthcoming marriages and then
sends the prospective bride and
groom an alluring circular setting
forth the tremendous advantages of
the Honeymoon Special" He al
ready has acceptances enough to
warrant filling up the train and ar
ranging for the unique journey.

coast to Pittsburg the past summer,
for the use of the Pressed Steer Car.
company in manufacturing steel an
derframe freight cars, wanted by
Western railroads, a demand mas
been made for the first time for
specially-built lumber cars for.
transcontinental shipments.
Pacific coast lumber, until within
the past two or three years, never
reached east of the Rocky NOUN
tains for commercial purposes. StncG
then the demand for certain grades
of it has been increasing and the
shipments, while paying 100 par
cent freight on its value, have been
sent forward SO steadily that the
shippers and the railroads have
finally been forced to- consider plans
for special cars that will be capabfm
of carrying twice the load that tho
average car now holds. In this way
it is hoped to lower the actual
freight rate and open up the great
lumber industry of the Pacific coast
for the Eastern market.
Plans for the new lumber cars
are being prepared, 1t Is said by
the Northern Pacific, with the Joint
action of lumber shippers OF tbs
East. Some sample cars are Co be-
put in service within few months.
They are expected to carry frOm
40, 900 to $4,000 feet of manurae-
tured lumber each.
