For Congressman in First Dis

The editor of the Register was very
much pleased Wednesday to receive call
from our congressman. Hon. David j.
Foster.
We are always pleased to receive a
call from any Vermonter, but this time
we were especially so, because thrown
much in the company of Mr.. Foster last
winter at Washington, we learned both
by our own observation and by careful
inquiry, that he is one of the ADLER mem
bers of the House of Representatives, not
only so recognized by his fellow men,
bers, but as well by the speaker who fire.
quently calls him to the chair to preside.
1t was evident, too, to us why Mr..
Foster was so successful a congressman
His heart is in the work. He is am
bilious to excel in the profession he has
chosen and therefore he does excel.
Practically his whole attention is given
to the duties of his office. And by this
constant attention for years, he has be-
come one of the most valuable members
of Congress, valuable alike to the whole
country and his own State.
Mr.. Foster is natural fighter, and
also a fighter for the right. This is
constantly shown in the many speeches
which he makes, for we have noticed he
never wanders from great principles
And so in the measures which he ad-
vocates. Perhaps no one was more earn
est in striving for the pure food law, and
in long time no sounder or better law
has been passed by Congress.
So, too, this last winter when an at
tempt was made to exclude the negroes
from the ordinary trolley cars at Wash
ington, Mr.. Foster made the most prom
inent speech, not flinching at all to stand
by the national principles, and the
negroes rights, at the national capital !;
and yet doing it with careful suggestion
that the same problem under very diff
ferent conditions might require different
treatment. In these instances, Mr..
Fosters speeches were completely sue
cessful. And so in the matter of the
appropriation for the Morgan Horse
Farm his ready wit in ruling out of
order,-for he at that time occupied the
chair, the objection offered, prevented
what might have proved very serious
attack upon the enterprise.

Science,

We call attention to the new adver.
tisement of ELLEN" in this paper.
These advertisements, which are abso-
lutely unanswerable, are now appearing
in the principal book review papers OF
the largest cities of the world, both in
this country and Europe, with prizes of
$4,000 offered to parties who can demon
strate the undulatory theories, which
they teach, to be true-but no takers.
They do not want the money.
Of course, it cannot be a great while
before the whole world will see that the
stuff they teach is the worst kind of non.
sense, and demand in behalf of their
children that it be abolished from the
schools and colleges, and in its place be
substituted the Truth, so plainly evident
to the common sense of all.
"Good sense which is the gift of
Heaven,
And though no science fairly worth

Several times We have noticed state
ment made by one or two newspapers
of the State that the people felt but
little interest in their candidates for
Governor and were very anxious to have
somebody else come forward. So far as
Zed S. Stanton is concerned we known
this to be entirely untrue. In Mr. STAN
ton, the great body of the people of the
State have the man they want, and
are going to elect him.
Another time they will be ready for
another candidate, but not this time.

MAY BE THE MAN.
vermonters in Washington Think
Present Senator Stewart May
Be Elected by Legislature
This Fall

Springfield Mass, May 26.-There
seems to be strong feeling among GER
tain Vermonters in Washington who are
in close touch with what is doing under
the political surface back in the Green
Mountain State, that Senator John w.
Stewart, who was appointed by the gov
ernor to temporarily fill the place of the
late Senator Proctor. may eventually be
the man elected by next falls Legisla-
ture, says a Washington correspondent
of the Republican. This is in spite of the
active campaign of ex.-Gov. Carroll S.
Page, Congressman David j. Foster and
others.
The idea is that the Proctor forces will
be behind Stewart and that, while Gov.
Fletcher Proctor does not desire for pri-
vate reasons to come to the Senate just
yet, he has not by any means abandoned
his ambition to enter the Senate a few
years hence. The election of Stewart
would fit in with the Governors ambi-
ton better that the choice of any of the
active contestants. Nor, in spite of Sem
ator Stewards age, would the selection
be bad one for Vermont. He would
lend quite as much dignity to the posi-
ton as any of the others and he is so
hale and hearty and so mentally acute
that, in spite of his SO years, he would
be able to bear his share of the burdens
of legislation with credit, when he had
once served for sufficient period to get
daily into the harness Free Press.

How to Apply the
Design

THERE are two ways to apply
l. this design to the material
upon which you wish to work it.
If your material is sheer-such
as handkerchief linen, lawpz batiste
and the ike-the simplest method
is to lay the material over the de-
sign, and, with well-pointed pen
Gil, draw over each line.
If your material is heavy, secure
a piece of transfer or impression
paper. Lay it, face down. upon the
material; lay the pattern upon this;
then draw over each line of the
paper design with a hard pencil or
the point of steel knitting needle.
Upon lifting the pattern and trans
fer paper, you will find a neat and
accurate impression of the design
upon your material.
There are two points to observe
in this simple process, If you would
execute it satisfactorily. One 49,
see that your material is leve!-cus
and folded by a thread-and that
your desig,a IS placed upon 1t evenly
at every point.
The second is, when placed accu-
rately, secure the design to the ma
terial with thumb tacks or pins so
that they cannot possibly slip dur
ing the operation.
Transfer paper comes in white,
black, blue. red and yellow. lad
wise the use of the lighter colors
when possible. as the black and blue
are so likely to crock.
Do not rest your hand or fingers
upon any part of the design you are
transferring, else the imprint OF
hand or fingers will be as distinct
upon the material as the drawn
lines of the design.

n OR a while the lingerie waist
II simply held its breath and won
dered what would happen next.
Word came from Paris that
net Cor "tulle." as the French call iD
waists were the vogue-and lingerie
blouse and tailored shirt and semi

But the moment Of intense anxiety IL
over, and we realize that the lingerie
waist (Which includes all variations OF
the washable waist) is almost a staple.
It Is entirely too convenient a style
for the American woman-whose. de-
mand is more far-reaching than that Of
. woman Of any other nation-to be
lightly thrown aside. Their are times
when the tub waist Is indispensable.
30. OF course. 1t is bound to stay; but
It gracefully bends to this or that
trivial innovation, holding, the while,
its own staple qualities.
Now, for the morrnrt. the tulle Tor
washable net. as 1t really is) is in the
lead. But 1t Is possible to ma Ike waists
OF this material at very small cost: so
1t is to be expected that shortly they
will lose their individual lily and become
what is termed common"
OF hand embroidered waists this can
never be said. Hand embroidery neces-
states time and taste and skill-the trio
forming a bulwark of defense. That Is
why we are bold in offering design after
design for the embroidered waist for
we know that its usefulness and popu-
larity are well-nigh inexhaustible.
