1dIIdutkd HOuuIdIn f1Oflt.
 The Birmingham Ledger recites pitiful story of a young man serving language who was accidentally killed few days before his terfn of service expired. The Ledger rightfully argues that a mine sentence is too severe for petty offenses. This young man had a wife and children dependent upon him. While the killing was accidental, that it Is liable to happen to others Is argument sufficient that the sentence is too severe.

The Holy City.

The great Biblical play, which comes to
Chandler Music hall Saturday, March Ia,
is now on successful tour of the Central
states. A Canton, Ohio, daily has this to
say of the big production
'sThst oft-seen drama dealing with the
dawn of the Christian era, The Holy
City, played it's fifth engagement in Can
ton yesterday, giving both matinee and
night performance. At the matinee the
house was packed by an sppreciative au-
dience and the crowd in the evening,
while not so large, was of most encour-
aging size. The engagement demonstrate
ed that Clarence Bennett, who had the
roles of John the Baptist and Judas, is a
great favorite with Canton tbeatregoers
and his work was in every particular up
to the high standard he has set for him
self in past seasons
'sThe story of the play is too well
known to need telling, but suffice it to
say that it commanded the broathless in
terest that has marked every performance
since its premier. The scene in the first
act where Elizabeth bestows her curse on
those of Herod's court, that of the cruci-
tixion in the third and the beautiful clos
ing scene were witnessed with interest by
an audience that gave them perfect atten-
ton.
ssEdna Marshall as Salome was good.
Her dance in the first act was especially
well executed and she put just enough
fire and emotion into her lines. Capitola
Marshall as Elizabeth, the mother of
John the Baptist, was especially strong in
that scene where she cursed Herod and
his courtiers. George V. Dill, as Marius,
a young Roman, was good and soon es-
tabIished himself as favorite. The bal
ance of the parts were well cast and salts
factorily played. The scenic effects and
costuming were especially good"

sorbing of local invf stments in electro
enterprises by foreign capitalists, VIII,
water the stock, tond heavily and compe
the patrons to bear the burden-as in th,
case OF Burlington-at all desirable
Nor is the requirement of many indie
pendent farms by single wealthy owner
for the purpose of making an estate &
blessing, but rather a detriment, for il
banishes the element of free citizenship
and substitutes master and servant.
On the other hand there comes an occa
sional outside concern that proves OF
great benefit when, like the cotton man.
ufacturing company of Burlington, il
adds hundreds of thousands of dollars tc
the grand list, maintains big payroll
and shows steady growth. These con.
Germs are not Of the depicting order, and
deserve aid and cooperation. OF such q
nature would be Randolph's proposed
granite development.
Mr.. Bigelow discussed general condi-
tions in the state, showing where Yer
mont is lame in some respects. The
farmer who makes but a bare living is no
aid to his community and only slave
himself. 1t is pretty hopeless task to
attempt his betterment, but there is hope
for his children, especially when given
the benefit OF centralized schools. Our
present educational system, with the bent
OF the public schools wholly directed
toward book learning and college prepar-
alton, is sadly lacking in the practical
side that means so much to the 92 per
cent who never go to college, as COM
pared with the eight per cent who do.
Keenness in books should not be the cri-
terion of scholarship. A boy who shows
mechanical turn, or girl who takes up
readily the ordinary tasks of the home,
should be on level with the book intel
lect, and get the same chance for ad-
vancement in our public schools.
The chief line of development for Yer
mont must be agriculture, and here more
practical science is needed, with better
attention to the business management.
The farmer should study the soil, and
should carefully sort his cows and stock,
keeping only those that yield profit.
Vermont's industrial development is
narrowed somewhat by her location and
her lack of adequate railroad facilities.
There are certain kinds of manufacturing
that cannot, in consequence, be conduct
ed here profitsbly. But with the ability
to harness power and transmit it to q dis
lance comes the opportunity to develop
and use the fifty per cent of undeveloped
water power now in Vermont. There is
also great future for the numbering in
dustry, il the timber is not ruthlessly
sacrificed, but wisely conserved. In min
erals Vermont is rich. Her marble sur
passes in quality and extent that of any
other part of the world. Her granite is
coming on with rapid strides. A larger
and better market is now the only real
need of that industry.
In the advancement of these and other
reforms and ideals, every Board OF Trade
has part, not limited, but with q scope
as wide as the town, the state, America.
Mr.. Bigelow's address won applause at
periods, and a warm round at its close,
which was followed by adjournment and
a social hour.

gain of almost quarter of a million dol

NOTES OF THE BANQUET

Guests present were Hon. w. j.
Bige.ow of Burlington, G. w. Boyce and
A. ID. Sawin of New York city, @. c.
Graves, B. r. Demeritt and w. b. Clark
of Waterbury.
President Blanchard did the honors
with his usual hospitality. His Office
was headquarters, and at 8 O'Clock light
lunch of dainty refreshments was served
there to the visitors and committee.
Mayor Bigelow came on the noon ex-
press, and during the afternoon was driv-
en- about town and shown the points OF
interest, expressing himself as gratified
at what he saw. 1t will do Randolph no
harm to have the night editor OF Yer
mont's leading daily newspaper so well
impressed.
At the table, Ernest Manchester related
story of wondrous achievement by a
pullet owned by him that puts other rec
ords back of the distance flag. He said
his hen laid an egg daily regularly until
the cold snap of last week, when she
stopped short for six days. When the
first mild day came, he declared she went
onto the nest ana laid six eggs one right
after the other, thus making her average
good.

Randolph Granite to be Developed.


There is an assurance, at last, that
something will be done toward develop.
ing Randolph granite. Messrs. G. w
Boyce and A. D. Sawin of New York city
were in town to attend the Board oil
Trade banquet, remaining until Sunday,
when they returned to New York.
While here they announced positively
that with the opening OF spring they will
make thorough investigation of the
granite deposit on the farm of Mrs. Ida
Mann, one mile south of this village, and
If the findings are as anticipated will at
once begin quarrying the stone on large
scale.
The Mann farm adjoins the farm of A.
Il. Beedle on the south, and on Mr.. Bee
dies farm there is also known to be a
wide deposit of splendid white granite,
as shown by outcroppings and excava-
tions. The Mann deposit is Of the same
quality. 1t outcrops not only at many
points in the pasture on the hillside, but
lower, in the moving, below the road
leading to g. G. Hatch's, and was even
found below the main road when tele-
phone pole was set opposite the house. 1t
is estimated that the granite covers at
least 40 acres on the Mann farm alone.
The prospectors have completed lease
and bond arrangement with Mrs. Mann,
whereby, if the granite proves workable,
she will receive large yearly return,
with an agreed optional sale price at a
big figure.
Messrs. Boyce and Sawin are partners
in large variety of mining propositions
in Mexico, also in the development of oil
fields in Texas and North Carolina. This
is their first venture in granite, but mem
bers of their firm, which has its Office at
80 Broadway, New York city, are stone
experts, largely interested in construction
work, and they are enthusiastic over the
samples of Randolph granite shown
them, and only want to know that it can
be had in large quantities before making
extensive use of it.
Mr.. Boyce, who was an East Braintree
boy, and is an own cousin of Mrs. Mann,
has spent nine years in practical mining
in Mexico. He will come here and be on
the ground when the test is made. 1t is
his plan to either bring from Mexico one
of his own diamond drills, or procure one
nearer. With this he will make borings
at half dozen or more points widely sep
srated. These drills take out cores three
feet long and seven-eighths inch in diam
eter, and it is proposed to go down 200
rect. An inspection OF the cores VIII
largely tell the story. II the stone is of
the same white texture, clear from iron
and other drawbacks, as the surface leads
them to expect, and if the borings from
various parts of the field demonstrate that
there is quantity, as well as quality, this
concern will go on at once, using its own
capital, with which it is we'll supplied,
and quarry on large scale for building
and other purposes. The deposit lies
within easy reach of the main line of the
Central Vermont railway, about half a
mile distant, and spur track will be
constructed. Cutting and finishing
plants will also be built, and large in
dustry begun.
Randolph people have much faith in
the granite, and rejoice that practical
men with means are about to give it a
real test.
