Fletcher D. Proctor.

The death of Fletcher d. Proctor re-
moves one Of the strongest and most
useful of the present generation of YER
monters and the sad news brings sense
of personal loss TO thousands of people
in this state and beyond its borders.
Cut down in the height of his usefulness,
at time when it might be expected
that he had twenty years or more of
active service ahead of him, his death
will be mourned sincerely by his fellow
citizens in every part of the state. He
was an efficient public servant, one of
our greatest captains OF industry, and
warm hearted and faithful friend.
II is generally conceded that Fetch
er Proctor was one OF the greatest gov
ernors this state has had in the pres
emit generation. His business training
gave him grasp of affairs that was
very advantageous and his administra-
ton was valuable for the large number
OF, progressive legislative measures
adopted. 1t was generally expected that
his public career was not ended and that
at some future time he would be sent
to the United States Senate. II this
had been permitted there is no reason
10 doubt that his career would have been
as notable in national affairs as that of
his distinguished father, Hon. Redfeld
Proctor.
His business ability was of high
order and he had made the Vermont
Marble company the greatest industry
of its kind in the world He was gem
timely interested in all that pertained
to the upbulding of Vermont. Although.
man Of large wealth, he was so mod
est in his manner and so simple in his
tastes that one never thought of him as
rich man. He was without the slight
est ostentation, or affectation and was
always genial and eompanionable. His
life was clean and noble one. He stood
for good and true things and his in
fluence was wholesome and helpful.
Vermont is poorer for the passing OF
Fletcher D. Proctor, and his bereaved
family and business associates will have
the sympathy of all friends of the
Green Mountain state.-Montpelier Jour

A Famous Scandal in Baseball.

In ",rhe Right and Wrong of Base
ball." in the American Magazine for
October, Hugh S. Fullerton tells of the
ethics of the national game. Some
things which might be considered I'M
sportsmanlike in other sports are al
lowable in baseball, but there are some
things which are beyond the pale. Mr..
Fullerton writes:
1.-THE New York American League club
created scandal only recently by steal
ing signals, using rather clever de-
vice. There was sign on the center
field fence and the letter II was promi-
nent in &C. The cross bar of the H
was movable, and behind the sign a
man with field glasses signaled the bat
tiers by turning the bar. The scheme
cannot endure long. The man employed
TO steal the signals happened to be
friend of Hughie Jennings, and he had
an intense desire for the Detroit team
to win the championship So when the
"Tigers" visited New York, the man be-
hind the wigwag system explained it to
Jennings, saying the system would not
be used to beat Detroit, but would be
used against other teams instead of
trying to profit by this favoritism, Jen-
nings warned the Washington club and
scattered the word through the Amer,
lean league. The result was the expos
ure of the stealing system and scan
DIAL that resulted in orders forbidding
any such trickery under penalty of ex-
pulsion from baseball"

The Way the Wind Is Now Blowing in
Fashions.

In the October Woman's Home Com
panion, Grace Margaret Gould, the we'll.
known fashion authority, makes an in
teresting general report, an extract from
which follows;
(Which way is the wind blowing in the
world of fashion?
"We1l, it is blowing out bit. Clothes
are expanding just a tribe, skirts are
to be fuller, waists are to be heightened,
and there is to be a great futtering of
fringe. So the experts read the indica-
tons in that capital of fashion, Paris.
"0f course, there is going to be q
change of some sort. 1t is time for it..
The winds of fashion are always vari-
able. And then, too, women individually
and collectively are looking for and ex-
pecting something new They are tired
of their pose; they are tired of being
type. Their style has been long drawn
out in more senses than one.
"This fashion wind Just now is blow
ing slightly and fitfully, but it is all the
more significant for that When there is
to be change in the weather, the wind
begins to shift little. Then little by
little it veers, until at length it blows
q gale from directly opposite.
ooh, yes; we shall get to the othcr
side of the compass, never fear. That Is
what revulson means and rebound and
all the other things that people do when
they seek to get rid of one extreme by
jumping over to the other extreme. That
is human nature, you know, to go from
popularity to unpopularity, from Purl-
tanism to excess.
Us this wind blowing backward. tool
Yes, SO it seems, to the time, one hum
bred and thirty odd years ago, when
charming women ruled, and when the
queen of them all was the capricious and
beautiful Marie Antoinette. Yes, there
is hint at least of these quaint and
court styles OF Louis AVl in
the oddities that Paris is now dangling
before the devotees Of fashion,"

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE.
President Thomas Discussed Mission of
American Colleges.

The third annual report of President
Thomas Of Middlebury college is a dis
eussion OF the mission Of the New Eng
land colleges. President Thomas main
tains that the colleges exist for the serv-
ice of their communities, in such re-
spects as the promotion of agriculture
the encouragement OF reform in educa-
ton in rural schools as we'll as in cities,
and the building up of religious life in
the country churches.
Speaking of the complaint that college
students do not study he says: "The
way out Of our troubles is return to
the original purpose OF the New England
college, viz, service of the state in the
training of men for the specific tasks in
which the state stands in need of work
men Our New England colleges must
serve New England, the New England
that has paid dearly for the right to
claim their services. They must set to
work TO further New England indus
try, to uplift New England schools, and
to man with men OF power New Eng
land churches.
On agricultural education he Declares
'The backward condition of New Eng
land agriculture indicates breach of
trust in the administration of q per
cent. OF the educational capital of the
United States. That money was hand
ed to us for the uplift Of New England,
to which end the saving and lettering Of
New England farm is an indispensable
condition. We are false to our mission
ii we do not get under and lift at this
burden, and that no matter how many
sons OF the rich from Chicago and Pitts
burg we send back with the New Eng
land diploma pride. If by accident our
scientific laboratories al Middlebury can
turn out a man who secures from his
farm more profit per acre than all the
veterans Of his country why should we
not do it for Others on purpose Might
we not succeed by that means in saving
to honorable life scores Of youth who
wander aimlessly through the eurricu-
lum, prescribed and elective subjects,
not knowing what it is all for, and very
little what it is about | believe we
could do Just that, and / believe that
nothing less is our duty. Our college
was not founded in the interest of a
particular curriculum; it was founded
in the interest Of Vermont and what
Vermont needs is our duty"
The treasurer's report shows exactly
what has been done in the college during
the last fiscal year, where the money
has come from and how it has been
expended. The total income was S59,-
1880, Of which $l9,ss7.6l was received
from students 4 gain OF Sl9gg0 81 in
the last three years. The gifts Of the
year amounted to SALTS. The funds of
the institution are invested chiefly in
bonds and real estate mort
cages.

A Stitch in Time
Barre People Should Not Neglect Their
Kidneys.

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache or
urinary irreguIarity. Nature may be
warning you of approaching dropsy, or

is seldom fatal if treated in time, but
neglect paves the way for serious kid
ney troubles Don't neglect lame or
aching back another day. Don't ignore
dizzy spells, irregular or discolored urine,
headaches, WEAKNESS or depression. Be
gin treating the kidneys with the re-
liable, time-tried remedy, Doan's Kid
ney Pills. For IS years, Doan's have
been curing sick kidneys and curing per
manently. Endorsed by Barre people.

During the past three years | have used

That oft-repeated question, "Alma,

at the opera house tonight, Oct. 5,
when Joe Weber will offer this musi-

quet for an engagement of one night
The English version has been writ

that he has greatly improved the orig
inal text, injecting much American hui
NOR and eliminating all of the unpleas-
ant Gallicisms which caused Mayor Gay
nor of New York to frown upon the
German version, so that now there re-
mains only the fun and no harm what
ever in the play. OF course all of the
sparkling music by Jean Briquet has
been retained and Mr.. Hobart's fourteen
original lyrics are laughable and clever
in the extreme.
Mr.. Weber has spared no expense in
the production of the cast, which in

FLETCHER D. PROCTOR.
More Was Expected of Him Than Of
Any Man In the Public Eye

The people of Vermont have for many
all too short weeks prepared themselves
to expect that ex-Gov. Fletcher p. Proc
tor was dead. But they have not and
they never could prepare themselves to
realize just what the passing OF this
splendid citizen meant to them, in So
cial, political, business life, in any or
all of the relations that tie the best in
tentioned men of commonwealth to-
gether and make them fellows and
friends.
Fletcher D. Proctor's public career was
achieved in spite of the very great ham
dicap of being the son of noted man.
When the first calls to public useful
ness inspired his ambition, the possibil-
ity that he might simply be the son
of his father leaned toward the top
of the public estimate and the philos-
