Long Sessions Hereafter.

The legislature comes back the first
81 the year 70 remain in session until
the work is completed. There has been
a great hawl this year about the work
moving slowly, and it has moved slowly
III \ good many respects. The bills in
troduced have come In slowly, and the
members have been slow In rally get
ting into the harness and pulling nard
enough to tighten the Tugs. Every
thing Of Importance has been left, as
AZ has in past years. until the last.
However slow things have gone. not
as much time mas been used this year
up to date as by the legislature Of
1900.
The facts Of the case are, the ses-
sions from now on are going to be
longer than they used to Be. Business
Is increasing in the state. II took ns
a long time to realize that cur state
departments are having much more
to handle than they used TO, have
therefore being entitled 10 more pay
and more clerk hire to carry on the
work But the state has realized it at
last. 1t will be found that the legis-
lature in the future will never again
be through its work by Thanksgiving
and will likely never again close al Y
fsirs properly before Christmas There
Is more business in the state than there
used to be, and this has neeessitated
call for more legislation A glance
at The volume in which the bills intro
duced are kept, il enough in itself to-
cause realizing of the work and de-
tail that rests on a legislature.
The state might just as well figure
IN larger appropriation for the legis-
lattre than it mas before, for they
are not going 10 adjourn ia 40 days or
20 days, or 60 days. or probably so
days any more. The legislature meets
only biennially in this state, and per
hGps If the time is improved properly,
a legislature Of SO days il not I'M
reasonable. The state rather have its
work done well if it takes longer and,
as Governor Prouty told the senators,
the important work. the record of the
present legislature. lies before It.
The journal is inclined TO tie opin-
ion that the rest win do the members
good and that some sort of an inter
mission ought to be had every session
in which the members could get away
from the wnirl and nightmare of rapid
legislation to stop and consider on i'm
portant measures, and get some real
convictions. Montpelier Journal.

company Of players. headed by Miss Ed

Parkar's dramatization Of Bertha II.
Clay's popular book, '.Thorns and Orange
Blossoms A brief Of the splendid play
is as follows:
In N1arwickshire, England, under the
walls Of st. Byno's parish, Violet Beaton
grew to fair young womanhood, reared
by an emhittered maiden aunt. Violet
had accepted her teaching that the aris-
tocraey Il the natural, logical enehy Of
the common people. From Warwickshire
came Randolph Lord RIVERS, patrician
by BIRTH. artist by nature, Learning
her antipathy toward the aristoeracy, he
woned and won her AZ Mr. Randolph, a
struggling artist. AT st, Philiipo, Italy,
Richard Carstone. a wealthy man OF the
people, met and loved the artists wife.
He gowpd the seeds of discussion between
them. by accident they met Randolph's
aristocratic mother and sweet sister
Monica at ST. Phillipo. His mothers
hatred for the common people il as UNI
compromising as his wife's for the aris-
tocracy. Tommy Swift, b young chica-
goan. travelling abroad. appears upon
the scene. With him and Monica, to see
is to love, and her faithful sliitor, Lord
Rupert Forrest Hay, Is left as far behind
in TomIny's characteristic American rush
DIS hobby horse on race course. In
the second act, Randolphs mother, be.
lieving it her duty, sets about TO rid her
son of thel wife, no matter to what
lengths she must 90. With the aid of
Richard Carstone, she succeeds, and after
an act Of bitter domestic struggles, the
curtain falls upon the wife's desperate
denunciation and fight from the hus-
band she, believes wishes to be rid of
her. The third act depicts the wife's
heart-Fending, soul-trying struggles
against illness, starvation, winters mer-
CHESS cold and villains efforts to de-
grade her, and closes upon Lord Forrest
HAYS noble sacrifice of life for the
honor of his friends. The fourth act
takes us back to Sc. Byno's, whence
Tommy and Monica have eloped fol-
lowed by her iYate mother. III and
weary, Violet comes to st. Byno's to
beg the aunt, who never forgaye her
marriage, to shelter the babe that nes-
ties in her failing arms. Told that her
aunt Is dead. she swoons at the door.
She is cared for by Tommy and Monica.
Drawn hither BY his memories, Lord
RIVERS, who has searched vainly for his
wife, learns of her presence and the
existence Of son and heir. His moth
er's spirit is broken when she learns of
the babe. and the intensely human drama
ends in the prettiest picture ever pre-
scented to the gaze Of dramatic patrons.

Three-fourths Of Million.

Washington, Jan. 8. - President
Roosevelt in message to Congress
yesterday asked for direct appropria.
ton Of half a million dollars for the re-
lief Of the stricken people in the earth
quake zone OF Italy. This, the most
generous fund ever contributed by the
American people for the suecor of suf-
ferers in other lands, is to supplement
the despatch Of the supply ships Celtic
from New York and the Culgoa from
Port Said for Messina with their big
cargoes Of necessities, originally in
tended for the American feet, diverted
to the immediate use of the Italian
victims.
II also supplements the presidents

sage follows:

befallen the people of Italy is follow
ed by distress and suffering through
ont wide region among many thous-
ards who have escaped with life, but
whose shelter and food and means of
living are destroyed. The ordinary
machinery for supplying the wants Of
civilized communities il paralyzed; and
an exceptional emergency exists which
demands that the obligations of hn-
manity shall regard no limit Of ma.
tional lines.
Confident of your approval have
ordered the government supply ships
Celtic and Cllgoa To the scene of dis
aster, where, upon receiving the au-
thoritv which | now ask from you,
they win be able to dispense food
clothing, and other supplies with which
they are laden to the value Of aboat
$500 600. The Celtic has already sailed
and the CnIgoa Is at Port Said. Eight
vessels Of the returning battleship feet
are already under orders for Italian
waters, and that government has been
asked il their services can be made
useful
