When Senator Dillingham; wants pri-
vate secretary he comes back to YER
mont and takes newspaper man. Our
popular former townsman, Walter w.
Husband, was taken from the Montpe-
lier Journal to Washington and now Mr..
Dillingham; goes to the same newspaper
office and selects Charles Webb. So the
state loses another excellent journalist
and the Senator gets another tactful and
efficient secretary.

DartmOuth'S New President.

Prof. Ernest Fox Nichols, D. Sc, for
merly head of the department of physics
at Dartmouth College and now profes-
sor of experimental physics at Columbia
University, has been unanimously elected
president of Dartmouth to succeed Dr.
William Tucker, who resigned May II,
1907, on account of i'll health.
Prof. Nichols, although not a graduate
of Dartmouth College, is an honorary
alumnus of the institution, having been
given the degree of Doctor of Science in
1908, and from 1S93to 1908 was at the
head of the physics department of Dart
mouth. His work as member OF the
faculty brought international distinction
to the college and himself, and through
out the FIVE years he evinced a thorough
knowledge of the college equalled only
by the affection of the faculty and stu
dents for him.
The selection of Prot Nichols to be-
come the tenth president of Dartmouth
is the result OF over two years OF ass1du-
Gus effort on the part of the trustees to
find a man to succeed President Tucker,
who would be acceptable to the alumni
and undergraduates, and at the same
time fulfill the traditional requirements
of the institution.
Professor Nichols, working with Pro
lessor Gordon F. Hull in 1901, discover
ed the pressure of beam of light. This
discovery and the difficult and accurate
of the new force won i'm
mediate and worldwide recognition for
both men. After five years at Dartmouth
DR.. Nichols was called to the chair of ex-
perimental physics in Columbia, but be-
fore he assumed his new duties, Dart
mouth gave him the honorary degree of
doctor of science.

A despatch from Madrid dated June
10 says that Henry Clay Ide, the newly
appointed American Minister, ac-
companied by Condo Pho Coneha,
yesterday drove to the palace in gala
carriage with a royal equerry riding on
each side. He was received by the King
at 1890 o'clock.
Alfonso XIII was surrounded by the
grandees on duty, and had at his side
the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The
ceremony was very brief Mr.. Ide merely
presenting his credentials. There were
no speeches. Subsequently Mr. Ide called
on the Queen Mother before returning to
the legation.
At 100 O'Clock King Alfonso returned
the visit and chatted with Mr.. Ide for a
while. Later in the afternoon the new
Minister, with W. H. Buckler, First Sec
rotary of Legation, called on the Infantes
Carlos and Fernando and on the Infant
as Teresa and Isabel. King Alfonso re-
turned to La Grania this evening.

A Deserved Compliment to Mr.. Bailey.

Of the two booklets the one published
by Vermont contains by far the most
historical matter and is the better adapt
ed to the use of the boys and girls in our
schools. Hon. Horace w. Bailey, who,
by the way, is reckoned one of the news
paper boys" prepared the Vermont
book and did well.
The New York book is said to have
cost $4,000, while our state commission
paid but $500. Naturally the higher
priced one is the more attractive in ap-
pearance, but it is the matter inside the
covers which really counts.-[ Middle
