When your minister came TO see me
in the hurry Of a busy morning al
the White House. and invited me 10
attend the dedication ceremonies Of

that I was expected TO make a speech,
or else there were so many matters
pressing that l did not catch that
statement from his lips.

OF this church is somewhat different

the Pilgrim Fathers and those who i'm

! evidences Of rat damage were plainly

Danger to Public.
Regarding rats ard the public health,
Mr.. Lants says:
The most serious charge against rats
grows out of their relation to human
health. It is now positively known that
rats are chiefly responsible for the
spread of bubonio plague a maladv
which in spite of modern methods of
lighting it, has within the past dozen
years destroyed over 100000 human
being in India alone"
The following steps are suggested by
Mr.. Lants for the suppression Of the
rats:
The enactment and strict enforce
ment of municipal ordinances providing
for the disposal of garbage and the
protection Of food supplies. Every ef-
fort should be made 10 instruct the
public as to the necessity for care in
the disposition of refuse and the protec-
ton OF food materials.
THE ratproof construction Of dwell
ings and public buildings. The advan-
tages of cement in the cellars and
foundations of public and private build
ings are now so well understood that
the ratprOohng of buildings by cement
construction and other necessary meas
uTes should be no longer left TO ind
vidual inclination and judgment, but
should be incorporated in building regu-
lations and these strictly enforced. The
additional expense compared with the
advantages, is trivial"

a necessary part of life and one which
they will welcome as part Of life. and

from solitary ideal of true temperance
but, on the contrary, more practical
and promising prospect OF It's ultimate
attainment by the individual and the
mass. There is comparatively little
progress toward higher things where
there IL scant personal liberty 10 choose
between those things and something
lower, difficult az il may be for some OF
our well meaning friends 10 understand

personal choice, and where there is lit

down the hard and fast laws Of thou

many autoists from New York City is

been foremost in this hostility, at a

the state legislature to remove the en-.

majority Of his colleagues, even when
those colleagues had but few days
before taken hostile action toward the

Such a rebuke from such House and
in such state Of mind toward the chief
executive shows that the Willett speech
was past all bounds Of common decency.
Happily, the most vile part Of the speech

State Fair Expense Account Wanted.

ing ofc the Addison County Agricld.
tural society for last year with its own
boasted Valley fair figures. Since Col
onel Illsley became the patron saint OF
the Middlebury fair, ii has grown TO
mammoth proportions, almost rivalling
the great Brattleboro exhibit in re-
ceipts, while its disbursements are less
than half those OF the latter. Last
year the Addison association cleared
$?,116.54, while the Brattleboro fair
ran behind $i,254.54, and was about
1880 in the hole before. Too high
purses and premiums and wasteful ex-
trayagance are assigned as the causes.
The Brattleboro association suffers
somewhat from other causes, perhaps.
II holds its exhibit late in the fall and
has to terail or actively compete with
other big fairs in its neighborhood, while
the Addison affair is now the only big
thing of the kind on that side Of the
