Death of Ex.Governnr Bell.

The sudden death of Ex-Governor
Charles j. Bell of Walden. which &C.
CURED in New York city last Saturday,
came as a shock to all the people of
Vermont.
Governor Bell, although he had at
tanned to the highest office in the gift
of the state, was a mar of the plain
people, a farmer who not only owned
and operated an extensive farm but
made it pay him a competence. Dur
ing his years of public service and his
close association with the Grange he
had Travelled extensively about the
state and had formed many close friend
ships. He was brought prominently
into the public eye during the trial of
Mary Rogers and during those trying
times proved himself equal to the emer-
gency, steadfastly refusing to commute
the death sentence TO life Imprisonment,
thereby upholding the law and refusing
to be swerved from the path of duty as
he saw it.
AS Master of the State Grange he
did noble work for the order, increas-
ing its membership and efficiency to a
remarkable degree, much of which was
done by personal effort. In whatever
position he was placed his actions were
not of the grandstand variety, but his
duties were performed in a quiet way
which won him the respect and admira-
ton of all who knew him.
His death makes the number of liv-
ing Ex-Governers twelve. of whom Elk
Governor John w. Stewart of Middle
bury heads the list, having been Cover
nor in l%S7O-l872.

plants his trees and let's nature do all
the rest, his fruit will soon return to
practically it's original state. Nature
left alone never strives for quality, but
only for quantity. Her first thought is
to preserve the species, of whatever
class. But man can greatly improve
the quality by proper %husbandry.
In another column today we print a
full account of the methods adopted by
Mr.. C. T. Holmes of Charlotte to bring
his l00-acre orchard into such excellent
condition that his crop will probably be
worth $25, 600. This result is not a
miracle. But a stranger who should
come along and examine the Holmes
orchard and then all the other orchards
in town, he might well think that it was
a miracle. But there is no miracle
about it. 1t is a plain case of intelli-
gent husbandry. Every orchardist in
the state could do likewise if he so
wllled- Burlington News.

r oes The World Move?

A new lumlnary appears on the hori-
zon and shatters-or ATTEMPTS to shat
ter-all our orthodox conceptions of
astronomy. The man is Theodore
Homer Grisel, a young engineer. as
tronomer and writer of Bayonne, known
as the author of the new astronomy.
When asked as to the practical finding
of the North Pole he said Cook s won
derful work will forever end the teach
ings of the old astronomy, which gives
US a rotating and revolving earth and
places the sun rather than the earth in
the center of the universe. When
Cooks observations of and from the
North Pole have been made public we
shall find in them sufficient evidence
that the new astronomy, which gives a
stationary earth, is the only true and
practical astronomy. The poles are the
only points from which we can gather
practical evidence from an observation
of thessheavens as to whether our earth
is a rotating or a stationary one. To
give the truth in regard to whether the
earth rotates or is stationary is the ex-
act face value of Doctor Cooks splendid
victory in having discovered the Pole.
And in my belief the earth will be prov
en- to be stationary"
Mr.. Grisel may perhaps be able to
convince people that the earth does not
revolve but the general run of us will
have to have more than his word for it
before we accept it as gospel truth.

How absent-minded newspaper editors
are, to be sure; we forget to pay our
bills, forget to go home to the bosom of
our family when it is time; forget to
stop the paper when the time runs
OUT; and ever forget the baby, as wit
ness the following from the Rutland
Herald concerning our friend Belknap.
1.-The Bellows Falls society for the
prevention of child desertion by incom-
petent fathers has a terrible example in
Editor Belknap of the Times. He took
the tifth-or was it the sixth ?-Belknau
scion down street in a go-cart the other
day, got his mail at the post office
and became so absorbed in taking
checks and currency out of the envel-
opes that he walked away and forgot the
scion. The go-cart might have beer
there yet if some one had not stopped
the towering tamarack of the raging
Connecticut and asked him to remove
the infant from the highway. Mrs.
Belknap has o been heard from
publicly, that is. Belknap really
should take a course of treatment in

EX.-GOV. CHARLES ]. BELL.

The death of ex-Gov. Charles j.. Bell
will bring a sense of personal loss to
many Vermonters beyond the ordinary
public respect for a man once creditably
discharging the chief magistracy, be-
cause for years before his incumbency
of the governorship and for the two
years in that office he travelled extern
sively throughout the state and made a
wide face to face and hand to hand
acquaintance with the people of Yer
mont.
He was a rugged, honest man, a clean
charactered, clear headed type of the
citizen of positive purposes for good,
His administration represented the agri-
cultural interests of the state, if it is
proper under our representative system
TO suggest that the principal influences
leading to the choice of a governor MAY
afterward claim special interest in the
mar and his Office. But he was a plain
and unpretentious man Of the people,
he was proud of his state, and loyal to
its welfare, and in his day did as much
if not O to advance the social and
material interests of the farming popu-
lation as any other man in public life.

PRESIDENT THOMAS.

There was sound philosophy and most
excellent common sense in the address
of President Thomas at the opening of
Middlebury College Thursday, in which
he said: q think it is agreed that we
want here a college of the simple life,
a plain mans college, in which extrava-
gance shall not be popular and students
who have to rely largely on their own
endeavors, and those who can count
upon only moderate sums for the ac-
quirement of education, find not only a
cordial welcome, but also such student
habits and practices as will not make
them feel out of place" That is not
only true of Middlebury, but it is true
of the other Vermont colleges. Each
must be "a plain mans college" and
that is the intention of the manage
ment as the Journal believes. Any
other plan will prevent the accomplish
ment of the best work which is expect
ed of these institutions. - Montpelier

Attorney General Sargent has straigh-
tened out the mistakes of the fish and
game commissioner in regard to the
hunters license law by declaring that
no oath is required by the law and that
no town clerk is authorized to collect
more than so cents for the license under
Sargent supports in full the statement
made by the Banner a month ago just
before the law went into effect. The
law should not be blamed for the
blunders of the fish and game depart
ment in attempting to put it in force.
The law has been in effect less than a
month but it is evident that it is serv-
ing the purpose for which it was in
tended. Indications are that it will
yield a revenue of six thousand to eight
thousand dollars a year for the fish and
game department. This will enable
the stocking of trout streams TO -four
times the extent that has ever before
been possible. 1t will also permit the
improvement of the hunting by stock
ing covers and enlarging the warden
service to drive out the pot-hunters.
Every real hunter and fisherman in the
state is pleased with the law, the only
regret among most of them being that
the fee is not fixed at one dollar so as
TO yield more revenue. No law was
ever put in force in Vermont that was
more acceptable to those most inter
ested. The only kicking against it
comes from those who know but little
about fish and game and are not inter
ested in its protection and increase

PRETTY EXPENSIVE REPORT.

The Randolph Herald says: The Ter
centenary Commission is evidently 60
ing to Guido its predecessor of James
town fame and report what was done,
as 81, 900 has been appropriated for pre-
pairing the report. Indeed, it appears
as if it were going rather too far in
that direction. A thousand-dollar re-
port of an affair that only cost about
Sc, 800 all told, if we except the monu-
ment, which hasn't been determined
upon yet and may not be for some time,
is contributing a good deal to literature
that has but ordinary and ephedmeral
interest This sounds a little as
though the Herald was disappointed at
not being able to find a deficit to crit
icise and was determined to seek some
thing to find fault with. The event vas
neither ordinary nor of ephemeral in
terest. The record of the Tercentenary
celebration should be put into perma-
nent form and if it can be done well for
less than 81, 600 the commission may be
expected to do the right thing. Mont

A COMMUNICATION
M. J. Hspsood Has Something to
Say Regarding Hunting and
Posted lands.

Marsh J. Hapgood of Peru, who mas
been fighting so long and so hard tc
bring about many changes in the laws
of the state, and who is especially in
terested in the deer and forest preser-
walton, sends us the following com
munication. Mr.. Hapgood apparently
takes delight in getting his news OF
current subjects into the papers, but
probably no Vermonter has the interests
OF his state more at heart than he, anC
Notwithstanding the fact that many OF
his views have been held up to ridicule
by some papers, he has the right idea
about many things. He is especially
interested in the deer and it is safe &c
say that O m of these animals will be
killed or his forest lands this fall if he
can prevent it.
Mr.. Hapgood was a member of the
original club who first introduced deer
into the state, and has done his level
best ever since to protect them. In the
letter he tells how the slaughter this
fall can, in a measure, be prevented:
Any landowner has the right to post
his land against any or all kinds of hunt
ing, in case they are cultivated or en-
closed. All mowings and all pastures
used or unused, all woodlands fenced
out, would allow of this protection, he
has only to put up two notices u Y "a
inches each, Hunting Prohibited upon
These Premises" with his name attach
ed as owner or occupant and no person
has right to appear upon that land with
a gun in his hand without his consent.
And there is a heavy penalty for de-
facing or tearing down the notice.
Nine tenths of all deer killed are kill
ed upon what would be classed as zen
closed land, as it is only in the open
that they are seen as a rule.
The words Hunting Prohibited upon
These Premises with the owners or
occupants name attached, can be
written upon a board with d
lumber pencil and posted in q
conspicuous place, or upon the side of
a building, and such notice is effective.
If you desire printed notices sent you,
! will forward them to you by mail,
postage prepaid, at a penny a piece,
payable IN postage stamps, or Free in
case you would so prefer, and especial
ly If you desire for distribution.
would be pleased to communicate
with any one interested in this matter.
Any remittances made to me, for gen.
eral use, by lovers of this noble animal,
will be thankfully received and fully ac-
counted for.
Let those from abroad who think
that it will be "a sure thing this sea
son, on account of the open season for
does, fully understand before they pur-
chase their license, that many of the
best hunting grounds will be surely
closed against them this year, as they
have been pledged already.

remember the fraternal feelings which
existed for those comrades who touched
shoulder to shoulder with you On MANY

pathized with you in all your trials in
the four long years of that gigantic
struggle. When that memorable strlq-

gained which is known as the Grand

objects was TO further cement this fra
ternal feeling and to perpetuate me
memory and history of those who sac
rifced their lives that the Nation might

Vermont's apple crop will not produce

The Rutland News speaking of the
new telephone system which is to be
built at V~ergennes by F. M. Moulton,
says that "Vergennes needs another
telephone system about as much as it
needs another river running through
it," Of course it is possible that the
News editor knows all there is to be
known regarding the telephone situa-
ton in Addison cnunty, but we doubt it.
We also doubt if he knows this man
Moulton, who is no novice in the bust
ness, having successfully operated an
independent telephone line in V~ergennes
and the surrounding towns before, and,
to the editors personal knowledge, the
service was at least as good as any in
Vergennes during the last ten years.
