Tuesday was one Of the busy days Of
the session and the House disposed of u
bills with ease. There are times when
business can be rushed through In that
way. but they do not often come. and 1t
was observed that most Of the time OF the
House on Wednesday was devoted to con-
sideration OF three bills
Battell OF Middlobury scored once in
his opposition to automobiles. securing
the passage OF the bill which would pre-
vent automobiles from using the road in
East Middlebury leading to what is
called the Texas road.
The bill aboushing capital punishment
was killed by the House Tuesday with
out a word OF debate. The Amey bill.
under which capital punishment will bee
inflicted only in cases where the jury
may add that to the verdict OF guilty, has
been passed and signed by the governor.
and that comes near enough to abolish
ing capital punishment to satisfy the
members.
The question Of the term of judges has
become Of Importance. Senator Archibald
of Bennington has proposed an amend
ment to the state constitution which
would extend the term to ten Years. A
bin introduced in the House by Stone of
Wallngford makes the term six years
and extends the term of those elected
az this session to 1915.
The House has ordered to a third
reading the primary elections bill. a sub
stitute for the bills introduced by
Speaker Howe and Mr.. McCuen of Yer
eennes. The hill is as brief as It can

posed beginning looking to the adoption
eventually. if found to work well. OF a
comprehensive primary elections law.
II is possible that. with the liberal ap-
preparations already made and the neces-
sary large appropriations now In sight,
direct state tax may become necessary.
Mr. Fletcher Of Cavendish. speaking at
the banquet Of the legislature OF 1898
Tuesday evening, said a direct tax might
not he a bad thing; that the state had
nearly reached the limit OF revenue by in
direct taxation, and that he would not
be ashamed to go home to his constitu-
euts after having voted for a direct tax.

VERMONT BRATTIEBORO,

Pond and two newspaper men, c. \. c..
Jackson OF Montpelier and J. G.. Norton Of
St Adams, also were included In the
party.
In its report Of the trip to Brlttleboro
the Montpelier Journal Of Wednesday
said:
"The Central Vermont officials will
oppose the bill, in its present form, very
strongly They viii ground their oppo-
stion on the claim that the property of
u public utility corporation cannot be
taken from it and turned over to another
corporation Of the same Sort to be used
for the same purpose, and II the bill
should he passed and the Boston Il Maine
should be given the privileges it asks,
there is no doubt the case would be car
ried to the supreme court Of the United
States before the Central Vermont, or
the Grand Trunk will yield any of its
present rights.
THE trouble over this proposed short
piece OF new railroad line is in reality
only "A bit OF the real war between the
Grand Trunk and the New Haven roads.
The Grand Trunk has just acquired the
right to enter Providence, r. l., and is
DESTROYS OF extending its business in New
England. The attempt OF the Boston &
Maine to take Central Vermont property
at Brattieboro is looked upon as a part
of the policy OF the New Haven road to
block the progress OF the Grand Trunk
toward its tidewater terminus
1T is claimed the improvements the
Boston x Maine proposes to make in
and about Brattleboro would cost I'm the
vicinity OF 81 900 900 and that the amount
OF business arising In that place does not
warrant the expenditure OF such an
amount or money"

The Sand Man.

The Sand Man is coming, dears, coming
from the skies;
He has little box of sand to throw in
little eyes.
From East and West he brings you rest.
and just before the night
lie scatters sand about the land and
shuts your eyelds tight.
When little folk are tired of noise, and
put their heads in laps,
He gaily dances over hills with pockets
full of maps;
And up he climbs at sleepy times to
sleepy little heads,
And makes them yawn before he's gone
for little trundle beds.
Listen to the Sand Man knocking at the
door
Listen to the Sand Man, he's been here
before.
The Sand Man is coming, dears, coming
from the skies;
Sleepy tunes he's humming, dears, to
help you shut your eyes.
