Who Constitute the Peace Con-
greSS.

The international Peace Congress now
consists of nearly $500 men, represent
ing about thirty nations, each man
member of his national parliament. As
there are all told about 10, 600 members of
national parliaments, the membership of
this union now comprises almost one
fifth of the worlds legislators. 1t meets
annually in the various capitals and
metropolises of the world, and is. in fact,
a great semiofficial international house
of representatives The interestin peace
aroused by it's sessions in the capitals of
Europe led the Gar of Russia in 1899, of
his own volition, to call the nations to
the first Hague Conference. Its most
notable recent meeting was at the st.
Louis Exposition in 1904, where was
adopted the resolution of st. Louis cal
ling upon President Roosevelt to call the
Second Hague Conference.-The one now
in session.-The Circle for July.

Making an Artesian Well Pump
Itself

The field men of the United States
Geological Survey, in their investigations
of the ground-water resources of the
Virginia Coastal Plain, have observed
that the flows from many artesian wells
in that region are utilized to drive ny
draulic rams for the purpose of lifting the
water to higher levels. Along the lower
courses of the Potomac and Rappahan-
mock and along the shores of the many
inlets that runs back from Chesapeake
Bay above the James, there are hundreds
of artesian wells that supply peren-
NAL flow of beautifully clear water which
is, as a rule, excellently adapted to all
domestic uses and is largely utilized by
the canning factories and other indus
trial establishments that abound in that
part of the country. Though the pres
sure of the water from the wells is ample
at the shore1level, the head dimishes 80
quickly with increase in elevation that no
flow can be obtained along the higher
banks above the shores, where the water
is most needed. The common method of
obtaining it at these higher levels is to
use the force developed by the artesian
flow to operate hydraulic rams, which in
turn raise the water to the heights de-
sired along the bluffs above the rivers
and inlets. Thus it may be said that the
artesian wells pump themselves.

The "unwritten law" scheme was
worked with great success in the Loving
case down in Old Virginia a few days
ago, when the twelve good men and true
composing the jury were so wrought up
by the heroic oratorv of the defense of
ex-Judge Loving that they obligingly
brought in a verdict for acquittal. All
this in spite of the fact that the proof
was submitted showing that the father
who shot and killed a young man on
the strength of the representations of his
daughter-was. and had nearly all his
life been a slave to drink and a man of
violent temper who also had attacks OF
delirium tremens; and the young woman
in question admitted that she had drank
whiskey while out with companions.
There is certainly a good opportunity
here for a temperance lecture. "Un-
written law" is used so much lately that
it is taking on somewhat the appearance
of fad.

whisky by One Who Knows

A definition of what is alleged to be
Kansas whisky has just appeared which
so graphically describes the demon in
the ordinary demijohn that it deserves
passing on. Here it is: "Kansas whisky
is a connection of rain water and jag
with about two ounces of Knockout
drops to the glass. When you first drink
it, it is fire water and rip roaring fun ;
when it gets well soaked in it is horned
toads, dragons and Kissing snakes, and
when you begin to sober up it is the
inside of the calaboose with dirty wet
towel around your head, nasty feeling
in your stomach, the taste of old shoes
in your mouth, painful crack In your
belfry and despairing wonder as to
how you are going to get out and get
home without your wife or best girl get
ting next"

If the influx of Hebrews into Bur-
lington continues, the long-standing pet
name of Queen City" will have TO be
discarded and "The New Jerusalem"
will have to be tackled up over the city
gates instead.-Mori isville Messenger.
ANY one who has been in position to
observe the Jews closely can testify that
they are domestic and home-loving, and
most all of them have a high sense of
business integrity. From the expert
ence that the general public gets from
observation and dealings with the Jew
pedlar, the idea seems to have gained
ground that all those of that belief are
fashioned somewhat on the order of Shy
lock who insisted on collecting the l6
ounces of avoirdupois. Judging from
the itinerant merchant with his pack,
most people have right TO the feeling
that they have. By longer acquaintance
with the Jew they will find, however.
that that much-maHgned party is quite
as much of man as anybody and can
be trusted Just as far as the average citi-
zen-and little farther, 1t is an edify-
ing sight to see their strict observance of
their Sabbath, and other days considered
holy by them-young and old turning
out to do homage in their own way.
And there are many characteristics of
the "Sons of Abraham" that we of other
creeds could well emulate. So we need
not worry about the Jews in the "Qreen
City"-or anywhere else.

Corey-GiIman Wedding.

Shortly after midnight or early on
the morning of the 18th, so as to avoid
the "unlucky 18TH" William Il. Corey
was married to his actress bride, Ma
belle Gilman in the Hotel Gotham,
New York, the ceremony being per-
formed by the Rev. j. L. Clark of the
Bushwick avenue church of Brooklyn.
The ceremony was preceded by a ban
quet attended by the brides family
and some of the Corey family. others
refusing to have anything to do with
the wedding Immediately after the
knot was tied the couple went aboard
an ocean liner which sailed that day
for Europe. They are to pass their
honeymoon in n French castle, the
brides gift from Corey. Minister Clark
has been fiercely criticized for marry
ing the divorced millionaire and is ac-
eused Of having taken very large fee.
He denied that It was as much as
$1,000 and offered to resign If his con-
gregation should wish, but defended
his course on the ground of defending
morality, saying 1t was a love match.
DR.. Clark later made a formal writ
ten apology to the church trustees, say
ing that he had done great wrong to
his office and to his church. He added
that he had returned the fee which was
given him and explained that his error
was not with evil intent and that If 1t
were condoned he would promise that
his future uses of his office should be
within the principles and practices Of
his denomination. The church com
mittee accepted this Interpretation of
the minister's act as being without
evil intent and decided to take no fur

Various Matters from Various
Standpoints.
ALWAYS SUCKER SEASON.

The international harvester of fools,
with a special license granted by the
lord high duke of duncedom, struck
Poultney on, Friday last. He was look
ing for fools, and, as usual, found them
in punches. He paraded the streets
during the day time with trumpet, cal
ling all the foolish to assemble in front
of the hotel in the twilight hour, and
some of them even missed the 7:42 train
in order to do reverence to his majesty.
This time he was selling fountain pens
and agitating his law. His cheeks filled
up with all the available space left by
his mouth, and his voice was like that of
mules ancestor, But it turned the
trick, for when he counted up his assets
he found that he had sold 66 fountain
pens at S1.00 each. We presume they
are worth one cent each to tie on the end
of an alder stick to spear frogs with,
which is a base use, perhaps after thev
have been previously used to catch suck
ers. Sixty.six dupes in Poultney. We
learn that the foolkillef is headed this
way, as he has learned what a fruitful
field there is here for his industry, and
we opine that if good bulk of our citi
zens do not take to the timber our streets
on his arrival will flow with blood. We
are easy marks here. Goods that are y,

MAKING PRISONERS WORK.

The experiment OF working Jail pris-
oners under the new law, instead of
boarding them in idleness, proves a sue
cess in Washington county, where the
sheriff reports net profit of over $500
since February 1st of this year. 1t Is a
common sense idea, which properly car
ried out, will yield the results intended
by the clear-headed legislator who con-
ceived the plan, Senator Stafford Of La
noble, man, by the way, who took a
leading, though unostentatious, part in
much that was done at Montpelier last
fall. HIS experience as member of the
committee of investigation of state insti-
buttons had equipped him for splendid
service in a department of legislation
that needed just the attention he was
able to give it, and he shirked none of
the responsibility that naturally rested
upon him. He has a clear vision, a
strong initiative, and an exalted idea OF
public service that marked his work in
the house in 1909 and became the more
noteworthy in his record as a senator.
Cool, courteous, and concise, Senator
Stafford has impressed and endeared
himself to all who have had opportunity
to see and know of his work for the state
