YOUNG coRBETT KNOCKED OUT
Conqueror Of McGoVern Easily Beaten
by Johnny Frayne

San Francisco, July 20.-Young Cor
bett, one time conqueror of Terry Nc
Govern proved an easy victim for
young Johnny Frayne of San Francis
co, who knocked him out Saturday in
the eighth round of bout scheduled
to go 25 rounds.
Corbett probably was In no condit-
ion to ut up hard battle and at no
time did he appear to have chance.
The men were to have weighed in at
1876 pounds at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning but Corbett failed to make
the weight and it was announced that
he was fully two pounds in excess OF
the requirements.
Corbett was a mere shadow of the
once great lightweight VINO but a few
years ago electrified the sporting
world with his wonderful battles. His
famous "haymaker" was i'll timed and
there was no power behind it.
The contest was tame and uninter-
esting up to the time of the knockout.
In the eighth round Frayne shot out
right and left catching Corbett flush
on the Jaw, and the eX-champion was
sent to his launches for the count OF
seven. He was dazed and wobbled
about the ring. FTayne promptly top
pied over with a powerful right and
left to the Jaw. At this time merci-
full second threw the sponge into the
ring as a token of defeat and the Cal
ifornian was awarded the verdict by
Referee Krelling.

Judging from renewed activity in
marble circles, sales of quarry land
and notices of enlargement of present
works all along the line from Dorset
to Middlebury, western Vermont is
going to experience an era of renewed
prosperity during the next few years.
Vermont marble is the best in the
world and 1t is certain that the mar
ket for it will increase constantly. A
large part of Rutland county and con
siderable areas of Bennington and Ad-
olson are underlaid by ineXhaustible
deposits of marble of all grades and
shades. The lessening supply and in
creasing price of timber compels
builders to turn attention more and
more to other material for construc-
ton purposes. Unsightly, or at least
less slightly, cement and plebian brick
can not compete, in the long run with
tne beautiful and enduring marble
and granite from Vermont quarries in
the higher grade of building work.
The field is unlimited and the pros
pect dazzling. Vermont is slowly, but
surely approaching a commercial actiyi-
ty and prosperity hitherto unknown
in this state.

1t is certainly shocking to find that
there is shortage of candidates for
the position of supervisor of tne cen
sus in this state. Has Brattleboro
failed since it was damned? Have
the Thracians of Lamoille forgotten
the scent of battle and the earthquake
voice of victory to them of yore the
breath of life? Are Burlington patri-
OTIS grown pot-bellied and moribund in
SNUG contemplation of the profits of
the Tercentenary? Is Montpelier
glutted by its rake-off from one hun
bred days of legislative session? Oh,
dream of dreams! Is it true that at
last an Office is seeking a man in old
Vermont? We think not There is
a rustling in the underbrush, from the
graveyard of Essex Junction to the
besieged damp spot in Vernon. They
are coming, Bill. They'll be with you

Since the Dingley law went into eff
feet twelve years ago the working man
who can afford to pay only $40 to $l2
for a suit of clothes has gotten for
that money not better value than he
could for 81 before. Now If the Aid
rich crowd is allowed to pass the
pending tariff bill in the shape they
are trying to it means that $40 or
S12 suit will be cut another quarter in
actual value and will be worth no
more than a suit that could be bought
for So to So twelve years ago. The
middle class and poorer people of the
whole country are being sacrificed to
help the worsted mills of Rhode Is
land. 1t is claimed TO be for the ben
eft of the wool grower but the truth
is that tae wool grower would be
abundantly protected with the duties
reduced one half while the average
citizen throughout the country would
be benefited from $40 to $50 a year,
according to the size of his family by
reduced duties in these schedules. 1t
is not yet too late to write to Senators
Page and Dillingham; and Congress
man Foster and Plumley. The COM
bined power of protected monopoly is
back of tne Aldrich combine with
which the two Vermont senators have
identified themselves and it will take
something of a jar from popular opin-
ion to force them to come over onto the
side of the public. With Congressman
Foster and Plumley it ought not to be
so difficult. They are coming up for
reelection next year and if they will
do their duty now, no matter If they
have to break with some of their SOC
lal friends in Washington, the voters
of Vermont will stand by them when
they need help.

We're Willing to Admit It.

According to the bookings of the
Bennington opera house for the COM
ing season, the people of Bennington
are to have some really first class of
ferings. Among these are Polly of
the Circus" Dolly Warden" Sousa's
band, "A Gentleman from Mississippi
THE Travelling Salesman" THE Third
Degree" The Climax" and wild
fire" All of these plays have been
popular successes in New York and
the management of the Bennington
opera house has projected a list of
high class entertainments.
Naturally our thoughts turn to the
Rutland opera house and the query
arises: Are we to be outclassed by
Bennington Rutland Herald.

Mr., Spooner says:
After two years of digging | have

and if this proves to be so, then the
three little fragments of bone in the
crystal reliquary which was contain
