The Proposed Subway at White
River Junction.
The Landmark says:

The slowness with which results
have been reached in the matter of
the railroad crossing may have
biuded the public somewhat as to
the Importance of the decision of the
public service The problem pre-
sented was one of the great difficulty
and merited and received the most
careful consideration from the com
mission and the parties interested.
The merits of the plan adopted
briefly stated are these:
|. The preservation of the park
in it's entirely as against it's practical
destruction by the plans proposed by
the railroad companrs and by the
commission Is own engineer.
2. The substitution Of II short pas
sage ample for all ordinary passen-
ger ira ffic in place of The long wind,
ing passages proposed.
3. The exclusion Of teams from
the station platform.
4. The erection of baggage
room and platform on the west side
of the four tracks left, from and to
which baggage is to be transported
across the tracks from and to the
station by the railroad companies, at
their own expense.
5. The covering anil widening of
the present station platform so as to
give nearly double its present capac-
ity.
6. The ease with which passen
gers can be taken on and off ut the
baggage platform ON the west side
of the tracks at times of large
crowds.
1t is true that no approach will
quite equal one at grade unobstructed
by tracks or in any other way. The
conditions of the problem at this
point seemed to prevent such solu-
ton, and it is probable that the best
possible solution has been now
reached
At meeting of the petitioners last
Thursday night the plain and order
of the public service commission
was thoroughly canvassed General
satisfaction was expressed with the
outcome, and permanent organiza-
ton was effected to take steps tn
have the advantage gained followed
up in case the railr> ads should
decide to carry to the Supreme court
for final decision. The plan in
question costs much less than that
proposed by the railroad companies
and would seem much more desira
ble from every point of view

Special Fair Prizes.

Active preparations Tor the Ve,
mont State Fair at White River
Junction, September I'll, 22, 23, and
"a, are well under way and every
effort is being exerted to make fhe
event record breaker.
President Maxwell Evarts, who
has not fully recovered from his long
illness, is giving to the fair his full
attention, and Secretary Davis is
actively on the job.
Special prizes in many depart
ments will be u strong feature of the
event. In this line good start was
made last year, but volunteer prizes
have been made in greater number
than year ago, and it is expected
that interest in the events covered
by these special prizes will greatly
increase.
The Empire Egg Maker company
of Bristol gives special 5000 prize
to be given to the largest exhibits of
the leading breeds.
The Vermont Farm Machine
Company of Bellows Falls offers
special premiums on butter exhibits.
Fifty dollars in special prizes is
made for the best exhibit of flowers
and plants.

Startling Equine Sasacity.

A startling story of equine sa-
gacity comes from the provinces.
a horse was standing in the shafts
of carriage just outside the local
theater. 1t had a weary look, as
of one that desired repose. Sud-
denly it frightened up, and before
it could be stopped it made a dash
for the box office. The reason for
this unexpected behavior gave rise
to much discussion till at last one
of the crowd, more observant than
the others, pointed out that the
legend "To the Stalls" was written
in large letters over the box Office
window.-London Globe.

Sausage.

Sausage has even from very early
times been a popular table delicacy.
Aristophanes was familiar with it,
and in Roman days the sausages of
Lucania were in high esteem. They
were made from pork and the nuts
of the stone pine, favored with
bay leaves and other things more
familiar. Bologna was celebrated
for its sausages long before the
German sausage had even thought
of invading the rest of the world,
and until quite lately it was com
monty called in England a 'po-
lony."

BURLINGTON, Nov. Having a
~premonition, he says. that a man he
saw walking toward the river intended
20 drown himself, William Jeffries, of
his city, followed Alexander Hewing,
of 937 Spring Garden street, Philadel-
phia. and rescued him from a watery
grave. Jeffries, with a friend, was
walking on North High street, when a
stranger passed them.
THE thought struck me that the man
was going to drown himself" said he
in relating his experience. 81 could not
shake the idea off my mind. Finally I
coaxed my friend to go back to the
town wharf. AS we turned in that di-
rection the stranger disappeared, and,
running to the edge of the wharf. 1
saw him struggling in the water"
Jeffries with difficulty got the half
drowned man ashore and took him to
the Hope Fire Company's house.
