BILL. NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.
Though His Interest in The Performance
Was More Than Any Other

Washington. April f5.--Besides being
the thinnest man in the House, and
self .eonfessedly-th ngliest, Cushman,
Of Washington. Is the best story teller.
lie never makes a speech on the iioor
but what il Is enliyened with one or
more mirth.proyoking and well applied
anecdotes The following, which he told
to illustrate how he was putting patriot
ism before his own personal wishes in
the matter OF the lumber schedule, and
was willing to sacrifice something to the
general good, IS a fair sample;
@There was certain old settler out
IN Wyoming in the early days whose
front name IN his lifetime was Bill. al
though 40 not recall that there Is any
name ON his tombstone.
eBill was engaged in the business OF
raising cattle, aud he prospered marvel
onslv. The only COW brute he had on
earth in the beginning was one oil
brindle streer. But he turned that old
steer out on the range in the fall, and
the next spring he branded 1000 head
OF calves as the natural increase.

an engraved invitation.
sThey called old Bill out Of the cabin
and put q moose around his neck with
facility made perfect hy long practice
and the leader then said 70 him;
"Biil, we are going 70 hang you; what
have you got to say about it!p
AOld Bill rolled bis quid into the oth-
er cheek and said
"Well, gentlemen, ] spose I've got
more interest in this performance than
any other gent present, but | am the

eNow, Mr.. Speaker, that describes ex-
actly my feelings in this present situa-

When Barre gets its $500 Of the state
highway fund which II earned BY raising
a like amount for road purposes, Why
not dedicate with it a memorial to the
generosity Of the state toward one Of Its
munieipalitiess II Is one Of the rare
instances in which the cities have been
favored with an equal share with the
smaller towns, which towns have been
partially supported by the cities for
some time. Heretofore, the presumption
has been that the cities, being larger,
were the more capable Of standing their
own expense and thus capable Of lending
to the support OF their smaller neigh
bors. More recently, however, the cities
have been recognized and allowed to get
back part Of what they paid in. Barre
grasped the opportunity.

Gov. PrOutx,s Opinion.

Gov. Prouty's lumber firm il account.
ed among the most important in Yer
mont and also in New England and. as
its representative, the Governor il
probably as well.quahaed to speak in
relation to the probable effect Of plae-
ing lumber on the free list as anybody,
1t is his opinion that the proposed
step would not materially lower prices
Of lumber to the consumer, as the Can
adam holders Of rough lumber could
hold their stocks for prices eommensm-
ate with the American demand for the
article: All the great masses Of stand
ing timber in this country from Maine
westward are virtually tied up in com
bines, and mills like those Of prouty 4
Miller are as much at the mercy Of the
timber men as is the consumer From
this situation, lower lumber prices are
about as improbable as blood from a
turnip, tariff or no tariff Burlington

These are days when railroading Is
fraught with perplexities and trials due
to agencies over which the managers Of
our transportation lines have no control.
When the frost leaves the ground, It
causes the loosening Of embankments
and the consequent landslides either from
The roadbed or onto the track. Then, too,
the water released from the tremendous
accumulation of snow on these mountain
sides rushes down and undermines the
best laid roadbeds and renders them I'M
safe for traffic, This season seems to be
far worse than usual in Vermont, and
it is fortunate, indeed, that we have not
had more serious accident than yester-
days freight train wreck at Roxhury on
the Central Vermont railroad. The pos
sibilities Of catastrophe are fearful to
contemplate.

Asgs CENSUS on uNEMPLoYED.
American Federation Of Labor Appeals
70 the Government.

Washington. April l5.-The question
Of an enumeration Of the unemployed by
the census bureau formed the most inn
portant topic Of consideration Al yester.
days session Of the executive council OF
the American Federation Of labor II
was directed that the legislative com
nittee make every effort to have Con-
eress adopt provision in the pending
census bin providing for this work, and
that the printing Of the official census
reports be performed in the government
printing office. Mr.. Gerau Of Los An
geles urged the establishment Of a cor
poration BY organized labor to take
charge Of insurance matters in the inter
ests Of the workingmen. Final action
on the proposition was deferred.
! Application for a charter was made BY
the National Federation Of state, city
and ton employees, and for charters for
international unions for the rock drillers
and tool sharpeners' organizations and
the photographic press feeders and ap'
pfentiees.

THE TRouT SEASON IN vERMoNl

THE TROUT SEASON IN VERMONT.
BY special act Of the Vermont legisla-
ture, the trout fishing season in Wind
ham county opened to-day, while
throughout the remainder Of Vermont
the sons Of Isaak Walton will wait until
the fifteenth Of May. 1T is not apparent
why Windham county should be thus
singled out as place where trout fishing
should begin month earlier. Benning
ton county, for instance, is just as far
advanced in spring weather as is Wind
ham, but the fishermen there are not
legislated for in particular; they fish
with the rest Of US. But since Windham
got its special enactment by which the
trout season opened to-day, it will be
interesting to learn how much success
The fishermen viii have in their early
trips, in view Of the cold weather and
high water.
After all conditions are considered,
the temperature, the quantity Of water
and the state Of feelings on che part Of
The people who prefer to see uniformity
in the opening Of the season, the fact
remains that the former date Of opening
the trout season in brooks, which was
May /, is the more satisfactory in the
general run and succeeding legislature
may be depended upon to take some
action to secure return to the former
date.
