In winch he expressed the thanks OF
the members for their loyal entertain
mcnt by Governor Proctor at West and
Center Rutland, Governor Proctor said
that he believed that the influence Of
the press was growing. that It was grow
ing in Vermont and for that reason he
believed that the newspap per men should
have an intimate knowledge of the in
dustrics about which they write. This
was a pleasant opportunity he had had
in showing up one of the industries, the
marble business.
There is something in this suggestion
worth thinking about and the Press
association had it in mind when it voted
a short time ago to have one outing
each year devoted To the inspection Of
one of the States industries, says the
Montpelier journal.
Last year the members visited the
granite quarrics and manufacturing
in Barre and to many the whole process
Of working granite was new. No idea
of tho proportions of the industry had
been conceived, although the members of
the era ft-many of thcm-had been
writing for years.
This Barre hill. shortly over % years
ago, could have beeen bought for II song,
but during this period from its bowels
have been dug up millions of dollars,

THE SICKLY GEM.
Some People Kill Luster Of Pearls
by Wearing Them.

ny wearing AneW.
From Everybody's Magazine.
Unlike other gems. pearls will scken
and change and die if not properly cared
for, and once their luster is gone it is
next to impossible to bring it back.
''Skinning'' is a difficult process OF re-
moving the outer layer OF skin to see if
the inner covering will reveal the desired
sheen, but the operation is rarely sue
cessful. Polishing is also sometimes tried.
but once the natural brilliance is dulled
there is no known method that is more
than temporarily effective. And yet In
spite Of this eastern workmen have ways
mysterious and strange of doctoring
pearls-secrets that have been handed
down for untold generations from father
to son, tricks of the trade jealousy
and successfully guarded. Among their
class superstitions, Of which there are
many, Is the firm belief that when worn
by dark-skinned persons a pearl will
never lose its luster, since from them it
can absorb more vitality than from those
of fairer skin. It is a well known fact
that some people cannot wear pearls al
ALL Some element in their physical make
up causes the gems to turn dark or j dull
yelloWish white; but let another person
wear them and their luster soon comes
back As an illustration of this there is
in New York a woman whose pearls are
famous and almost beyond price. Every
year she has to send them away to be
worn by u woman who. she has found,

marvelously short time they are restored

Costly Law Robes.
From the Chicago Journal.


A judges outfit in the way of robes
imposes a heavy tax upon the newly ap-
pointed judge In England. although the
cost is not nearly SO great as 1t was
in the early days of Queen Victoria.
Then it was the custom for the law
luminaries to attend court functions in
figured damask silk gowns. with costly
lace bands and ruffles. Thesiger. cele-
brated legal dignitary of that day, is said
on one occasion to have spent $500 on
bands alone.
The lord chancellor's robes cost some
thing like $3.50. and even a judges stock
ings are an expensive item.
The wardrobe of judge costs any
thing from $500 to 5000 and II the
newly iedged my lord is attached to

five gowns. a girdle, a scarf, a casting
hood. a black cap. three-cornered cap.

PROPOSE TO ENLARGE
RED LIGHT DISTRICT
DEFINITE PLANS PROMISED
FOR TODAY
Police Commission Members Say That
Present Restrlced Area Enables
UnscrupuIous Syndicate to
Extort Huge Rents

That a solution of the red light" dis
trict and of the Fuller case would be
forthcoming this morning was the
promise of Mayor Harper as he hastily
left his office in the city hall early yes
terday and hastened to a meeting of
the aqueduct commission. He did not
return to the city hall during the day.
To increase the red light" district
from it's present eastern boundaries to
the riverbed is one of the plans pro-
posed and likely to be adopted, although
the mayor is known to favor the ap-
pointment of commission to consider
the case,
Extending the district will relieve one
of the most serious causes for COM
plaint, in the opinion of several mem
bers of the police commission, which
has been considering the matter all
week.
A syndicate of men who have no
scruples about the manner in which
they make their money, as long as the
dividends are large enough, has secured
control of practically all the property
in the district and eXacts exorbitant
rentals from the fallen women. Not
only are the rents very high but the
women must pay large bonus before
securing one of the places.
With much larger district 1t would
be difficult for one syndicate to control
it all, and this feature would be elm
mated.
The mayor has promised, however,
that guesses will end today and the
police commission plans be announced.
