EMPRESS EUGENE.
Her Dramatic Descent Upon the cabl.

In Frederic Lo!iee's women of the
Second Empire" the author tells a SEN
sational story Of Empress Eugene of
France. 1t concerns a pressing polit-
heal matter, one Of church and state.
Because the empress felt strongly Oh
1t the emperor feared lest she should
endeavor to influence tie deliberations
Of the cabinet council, by appearing in
person. Accordingly he gave orders
that the meeting should be kept secret
from her NJ. LOliee says: But the

cried angrily. Finding himself in 4
horrible quandary between the orders
he had received and his fear of hurting
his empress, the guardsman. between
his gallantry to her sex and his fidelity
to the word Of command, fell at the
feet of Eugene with his bayonet laid
across the doorway.
"'Your majesty he said no one

without more ado she leaped over the
sentry's bayonet, burst open the door
and entered the council chamber With

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

The St. Adams Messenger thinks
that the next issue Of the Middlebury
Register will have something of inter-
est To which the Barre Times adds:
''And it will be no gentle whispering
of the old pine, either; no, Ellen"
Burlington News.
Zed Stanton is true to party inter-
ests; he has already forgotten the
defeat at the July convention and as
evidence of loyalty he will make
number of campaign speeches. 'Zed'
is forcible and convincing speaker.
Burlington Clipper.
Hon. John w. Redmond of Newport
is doubtless an efficient supreme court
reporter. He is unquestionably a
splendid chairman of the state board of
railroad commissioners. But he is and
has been both for two years past. One
man-two good state salaries-too
much. Randolph Herald & News.
The session of the general assembly
Of 1908 appears to be. well under way.
Our Tom is speaker of the house,
DeBoer is chief floor leader, with Bar
Der, Fish and Stanton as able assist
ants. Handsome George is installed
in the high-backed chair in the exec
utive chamber, Handsome Fred is
again chief clerk of the house, with
sunny Charley Plumley as assistant.
Coils. Sault and Mutt are the
respective officia! reporters of the two
bodies, Rev. Farman is chaplain Of the
senate, and the only real contest as
yet undecided is whether Lewis or Bur
CESS is the handsomest senator.
Ladies' week may have to decide that.
-Hardwick Gazette.
In one respect, it is quite a remark
able record that the St. JOhnsbury
Caledonian, worthy newspaper that
yesterday entered upon its seventy
time it was established there have
been but three editors, A. G. Chad
wick, its founder, then c. NJ. Stone
and finally Arthur F. Stone. The
CALIFORNIAN has been in the Stone
family for So years, passing into the
hands of the present editor from his
father. who was the second editor,
in 1890. One other person was asso-
ciated for two years in the control Of
the paper, George D. Rand being
with the elder Stone.
It is interesting to note the fOreWOrd
with which The CALIFORNIAN was set
before the public in 1887. as published
yesterday as follows: THE Caledonian
will advocate and sustain the interests
of the Wing party, SO far as they shall
tend to promote the,good Of the people,
a the protection of American industry,
strict accountability to the people OF
public servants, and the cause of tenn
perance and equal rights. Our press
shall be free; free to discuss all sub
jects which relate to our freedom as {
nation from tyranny in every form
To be free as a people We must drinl
deep of the spirit of Christianity, b.
clothed in its strength; its high ant
holy influence must be the spring O.
all our motives and actions we mus
participate largely in its nature ant
receive its principles into our hearts
To be free we must be intelligent; t.
be free we must exercise the higl
prerogative of free men, the persona
right to inquire, examine and exercise
our own judgment on every subjec
which has relation to the present ant
future interests of humanity. Barr,

Barton. Baseball Notes.

The St. Johnsbury Caledonian has
the following to say about the games
played at that place recently.
Another sample of classy ball was
served up to the patrons yesterday af-
ternoon, when ST. Johnsbury was shut
out by Barton, to 0. Laird who
was in the point for the locals, pitched
wonderful ball, but Wilder, the sur
prise sprung by Barton, pitched even
greater and deserved the victory.
The support given both twirlers was
gilt-edged, except for a couple of err
rors in the seventh by Kimball and
Lanctot, which resulted in Barton's sec
ond run. Their first tally came in the
fourth, the result of a couple of field
ers' choices, one of which was fielded
too slowly, and pretty single by Bar
rows.
But 80 local men faced Wilder and of
the 80 not one reached third.
The comedy of errors which was
pulled off at the campus Thursday and
resulted in the defeat Of the locals by
Barton to the tune of II to 3 came as
a shock to the loyal fans who turned
out in large numbers to see their ia
vorites put check on Barton's win
ming streak. After winning both
games On their northern trip, the first
at Barton Landing to 2 and the sec
ond at Newport to 5, the locals GER
tainly expected to give Barton the
warmest reception of their lives, but a
glance at the score will show how their
hopes were rudely shattered.
From ST. Johnsbury standpoint the
game resembled an aerial exhibition.
The air ship with IFS full complement
of nine passengers was cut loose in the
first inning and during the next two
hours only two landings were made
and they were of but short duration.
During the locals flight through space
the visitors in their natty white uni
forms were putting up an almost error
less exhibition of the national game
| that held the crowd spellbound and net
ted them II tallies.
Smythe and Reed were the opposing
twirlers and they kept the hits almost
evenly divided but the 10 bingles al
| lowed the Bartons came at times when
| they meant something.
Following is the score of the Barton
| ST. Johnsbury game, Tuesday. Aug. 4,
mentioned in last weeks paper.

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY

tual needs Of the government for mon
ey to pay for running the government.
The importations of the smaller prod
ucts which would compete with the
Vermont farmers products would be
of too little consequence in the vast
purposes of government, to warrant
any large expectations of revenue from
that source. Hence, among the things
to be sacrificed for the larger returns
that would come from the Importation
of manufactured goods, naturally
would be these products so essential to
the Vermont farmers prosperity. In
order to show the Vermont farmer just
what benefit he is now actually receiv-
ing from the protective element of the
tariff that governs importations of ar
ticles that he must sell, list Of the

Nearly every mail received at head
quarters brings requests for Governor
Fletcher D. Procer to make speeches
in several localities. 1t may be stated
that the governor Will probably con-
cede to the wishes Of his admiring
friends whenever it is possible.
The first of the week Frank H
Hitchcock, chairman of the republican
national committee, and Arthur I.
Vorys, Mr.. Taft's chief Of staff, will
arrive at Hot Springs, Va, for the pur-
pose of discussing with the candidate
matters regarding the campaign.
A call has been made from Winooski
for Zed S. Stanton to deliver an adj
dress there as early in the campaign
as possible. In the governorship fight
Mr.. Stanton had large following in
Winooski, and they are sure to turn
out to a man and listen to the always
interesting speech that the man from
Roxbury makes.
Advices from Orange county received
at Headquarters state that even the
old-time republican majority in a pres
idential year will be beaten this year,
that the people of that county are to
turn out to a man and show the rest of
the state that she is interested in the
state ticket and bound to do her share
in showing the country that Taft is the
choice Of Vermont.

A fatal accident occurred at Ascut-
NEVILLE Thursday morning. Fred
Blanchard, a farmer, had been missing
grain from his granary and had set a
gun with string attached to the trig-
ger for the purpose of shooting the
supposed thief. Fred Smith, aged "a

and who worked for Blanchard, went
to the granary at o'clock and was

Rutland Horse Show.

The officials of the Rutland County
Fair and Rutland Horse Show asso-
Citations are actively at work getting
ready for their joint exhibition
September 2, 8 and 4. They are re-
building the grandstand recently
burned. A model, up-to-date stand
300 by 40 feet will be built on the old
location, setting same back from the
track far enough to leave plenty of
room for a nice paddock in front of the
grandstand bleachers The new
grandstand will be great improve
ment on the old one, all the seats
having backs and portion of them
being reserved. There will be two
entrances from the rear and exits at
each end. When completed this stand
will be one of the best in New Eng
land. The race program includes eight
events, the purses amounting to $1,000.
/ This year Middlebury, 80 miles from
Rutland, gives $1,000 free-for all
which is bound to attract many good
horses to this section and inasmuch as
Middlebury, Fair Haven and Rutland
have formed circuit and are working
together the expectations are that the
race classes will fill all in good shape.
Horsemen appreciate the short ship
between Middlebury, Rutland and Fair
Haven.

Local Option.

The very name Of local option
expresses it's nature and pur-
pose in plain terms. 1t favors the
idea OF home rule in the best
sense of the words, allowing
each community to settle for
itself the matter of licensing or
forbidding the sale of liquors,
according to the special circum.
stances by which it is surround
ed. This plan has been found
to work satisfactorily wherever
it has been tried. 1t places the
question directly in the hands of
the people of city OF q county
upon it's merits as a moral issue,
unembsrrassed by political con.
siderations, and uninfluenoed by
relations of such separate com.
munity to the state at large.
Where such an election DEGREES
the closing of the saloons, the
verdict can be enforced, because
public opinion supports it and
will not permit it to be evaded.
