FRED NJ. WHITNEY,

Sadly, reverently and with a sense of
personal loss, every newspaperman in
Vermont will bear testimony to the loss
which their profession and the state has
sustained in the death of Fred N. Whit
ney, editor and publisher of the Northfield
News. His paper, considering the
limitations of it's field, will stand high in
comparison with any country weekly in
the United States. Mr.. Whitney was a
close observer of state affairs and state
problems, and the editorial page of his
paper reflected the impulses, the striv
ings and the spirit of determination to
advance which have been such a hopeful
sign in the state in recent years Mr..
Whitney discussed men and measures
with intelligence, and with fairness. He
could strike hard in any cause for which
he fought, but his nature was free from
acrimony and he had the rare quality of
appreciation and was quick to give
recognition where it was genuinely de-
served. Clean and honorable as a man,
stanch, loyal and likeable as a friend
the death of Fred n. Whitney will be
mourned far beyond the confines of his
home and the community in which the
best years of his life were spent.

U. v. MS PROGRESS IN ATHLETICS.

The Burlington Free Press wakes en-
thusiastic over Vermont in Intercollegi-
ate Athletics" its editorial being due
now to the engagement of Earl Picker
ing, former full back of the University
of Minnesota, coach of the University
of Vermont football team
For years the University of Vermont.
by concentrating it's efforts in baseball,
has excelled on the diamond and has
won its trophies from about all of the big
college teams of the East, including Yale.
Harvard, University OF PENNSYLVANIA,
Cornell, and others. Its baseball teams
have been consistently good and some of
its stars have become professionals of note
including Collins and Gardner, now with
the Boston Americans, and Ruelbach of
the Chicago Nationals, who had the
highest percentage of winnings three
years of any twirler in the National
league Pond, Abbey and O'Connor of
one of the crack college teams of 20
years ago, all pitchers, went from the
amateur ranks to the Baltimore, Wash
ington and Philadelphia clubs respec-
lively.
The university has now grown so large
that is is considered good policy to give
more attention to other sports. Yer
mont has made steady progress on the
gridron several years, has defeated Am
herst at football and has given Dart
mouth and Cornell hard games. With
the advent of the western coach it is
expected that Vermont will improve its
standing in football next year. The
cross country running team from Bur-
lington won victories last fell from
Tufts and Bowdoin, and in Capt Gutter
son the university has the greatest all
around athlete in the college world to-
day. He was the star individual per-
former at the New England inercolle-
giate meet last season and was rated as
the best broad jumper in America and
the best hurdler in the American COL
leges. This sterling athlete will un-
doubtedly go to the Olympic games in
Sweden next summer as one of the
American representatives 1t is a proper
time for the Free Press to rejoice at the
University of Vermont's progress in ath-
! letcs.

THE RAILROAD PLANS
Boston & Maine to Build on ver-
mont Side of River
Vacate-6rattIebeoro House Site VIII
Be Available II Needed.

Developments of the past few days in
the negotiations between the Central
Vermont and Boston & Maine railroad
companies, so far as they affect Brattle-
boro, Indicate that the two companies
are nearer an agreement than they ever
have been before, and this is borne out
by the statements of representatives of
the railroad companies. For some time
the roads have been working quietly
toward an adjustment of various differ
ences, and their agents report that def
mite progress is being made toward an
arrangement that will be favorable to
Brattleboro. An agreement practically
has been reached, and although it, has
not been signed there is no doubt that
II will be signed within a short time.
Concessions have been made by both
companies and it is understood that no
serious differences now exist, but the
proposition is a large one and many
! things of a minor nature have to be
| done, all of which takes time.
An indication of how things pro-
! crossing is found in notifications re-
| ceived by certain residents of Vernon
street that they must be ready to va
| cate the premises. Many of the houses
at the southern end of Vernon street are
owned by the Central Vermont Railway
| company, and the tenants have been no
titled officially that the premises are
| wanted. Notice to move its gas house
| recently was served on the Twin State
| Gas & Electric company These facts
indicate which way the wind is blow
ing, and only one deduction can be made
| from them. Moreover, it is known that
while no option exists in legal form, the
| recent sale of the Bratteboro House to
| II. l.. Emerson was made with a view to
railroad developments and that such a
| part of the lot as may be needed for
railroad purposes will be turned over to
the railroad whenever it is wanted. This
fact is undisputed.
In brief the negotiations look to
another track between Brattleboro and
South Vernon, on the Vermont side of
| the river, to be built by the Boston &
Maine company, the Central Vermont
| giving the Boston & Maine the right to
build the track in return for concessions
elsewhere; the erection of a union sta
ton on the Bridge street corner where
the blasting oprations were conducted
last year; the construction of a viaduct
over the tracks at their present level
across Bridge street; elevating Bridge
street from point near the BrattleborO
House to the Connecticut river, passing
over the viaduct, and raising the road
bed of the Connecticut river bridge to
meet the new grade, but without raising
| the bridge itself.

Violence In Lawrence.

Riotng that ended with the death of
an Italian woman and the stabbing of a
policeman was a disagreeable feature in
the Lawrence strike, Monday. The bull
let that killed the Italian woman was
meant for a policeman. More military
companies have been sent to Lawrence
until now the streets of the city fairly
swan with soldiers.
Joseph j. Ettor, the strike leader, and
Editor GioVannittie, of a New York So
cialist paper were arrested and lodged
in jail charged with being accessories to
the murder. Their hearing is set for
Feb. 8. A Syrian boy IS years old died
from the effects of stab in the back.
1t is alleged that the wound was in
fiicted by a soldier, when bayonets were
used in dispensing a mob
John j. Breen, a school committeeman
and son of a former mayor, has been
arrested, charged with planting" the
dynamite which was seized by the police
last week.
Gov. Foss advised the strikers to return
to work for 80 days pending a settlement,
but they refused to go back.
Some of the hands are drifting back to
work, pressed by hunger, and several of
the mills that had been shut down have
reopened.
The heated remarks of Ettor, who
advised his followers to cripple machin-
cry" if they were obliged to return to
work. was instrumental in widening the
breach between the English speaking
strikers and the aliens.

Secretary of War Stimson has issued
an order abolishing 16 army posts in
different parts of the country. The
change is expected to effect a saving of
$4,000, 900 year. He reports that seven
other posts are not located with a view
of obtaining economy of administra tion
and supply, or a full measure of effec-
tveness Consequently their garrisons
will not be increased, and ultimately will
be withdrawn to such concentration
centres as Congress may authorize. Fort
Ethan Allen near Burlington and the
Plattsburg barracks in New York are in
the list of posts which are doomed to
abandonment. From the number of mur-
ders and other outrages perpetrated by
negro troopers at Fort Ethan Allen we
should imagine that the residents of Bur-
lington would welcome the news of the
depopulation of the fort with sighs of
relief

BEAUTIFUL BRATTlEBORO AND
WILMINGTON WOMEN.

The Secret Of Their Increasing Charm.
1t is really surprising that in such a
short time there should be so marked
an improvement in the appearance OF
so many Brattleboro and Wilmington
ladies, but it is not surprising when the
cause of this improvement is known.
And there is no great mystery about 1t
after all. Drop in most any day now at
w. F. Roots Drugstore, Bratteboro. or
c, II. Parmalee's Drugstore, Wilmington,
and you are likely to see one OF the
clerks wrapping up box Of the little
tablets that do so much to improve the
appearance of ones complexion. Bright
eyes, a ruddy glow, and complexion
free from pimples, sallowness and moth
spots may be had by every woman who
win take one or two OF SEAVER'S LAX
ATIVE TONIC TABLETS at bed time.
These tablets contain dandelion and
other purely vegetable extracts that are
known to have a selective action for
skin affections, and being both a laxa-
tive and tonic they quicken the circula-
ton, open the pores and encourage the
action of the bowels. stimulate the
liver. enrich the blood and at the same
time cure biliousness. sick headache and
chronic constipation. Try them. They
cost but Csc a box and once used their
merits cannot be concealed.

The Franklin county bar associat ton
has endorsed Charles H. Royce of St
Adams for appointment by the governor
to the position of superior judge left
vacant by the death of Judge Alfred A.
Hall. Gov. Mead was away on a western
trip at the time Judge Hall died, so that
the appointment has been delayed, but
IT will probably be announced within a
lew days. 1t is difficult for a layman,
who is rarely brought into contact with
the lawyers of the courts, to- judge ac-
curately of the qualifications of candi-
dates for judgeship, but from casual
observation we are of the opinion that
Mr.. Royce is the peer at least of many
on the west side of the state who would
be considered for appointment in connec-
ton with the vacant position.

w. r. GAIoE SERIOUSLY BURNED.
Taken to Farren Hospltal-Alarm Civ
en- by Fred C. Huett.

Trying to force his kitchen fire by
pouring on kerosene oil endangered the
life of w. r. Gaige of Church place
Saturday night. The fire department
was called by still alarm to the building
owned by NJ ]. Moran, and when they
reached there and had gotten hose
from the chemical wagon into the upper
tenement they found a fair-sized blaze
in progress and also found Mr. Gaige
lying on the floor suffering from painful
burns. The chemical soon extinguished
the blaze and as 1t was seen that Mr..
Gaige was in dangerous condition from
his burns he was taken to the Faren
hospital in Montague. 1t is understood
that he poured kerosene oil upon the
fire in the kitchen range and that the
explosion that resulted threw the blazing
fluid to all parts of the room and ignited
his clothing. His clothes were badly
burned, his beard was almost completely
burned of and the blazing oil came so
close to his eyes that II was feared he
would lose his sight. but his physician,
DR.. E. r. Lynch. says he will make a
good recovery without permanent injury
to his eyes. The force of the explosion
completely removed the bottom OF the
oil can and threw It to the ceiling where
IL made adeep dent. When the fire
started up Mr.. Gaige had as a visitor
Fred C. Hulett. who called the depart
ment by telephone and then left before
any OF the firemen arrived.

The New England Farmer is doing
good service in calling the attention of
farmers to COW testing associations. F.
Warner Wiggin, manager of one of
Vermont's finest farms, cites the case of
the owner of herd. who, under the di-
rection of the tester of an association,
sold l5 per cent of his cows, changed the
ration, and as a result the reduced herd
produced 40 per cent more butterfat than
the whole herd had done before. Mr..
Wiggn believes Vermont dairymen
might save by such methods, $172, 900 in
feed bills and gain $3.50 in butterfat
sold, net increase of 1866, 600

During the past 20 years more than
5000 British vesses-an average of nearly
eight for every week-have been lost at
sea. With these vessels nearly $4,000
persons perished, Of whom about so per
cent were members of the crews and 20
per cent passengers.
Among the curiosities Of the United
States patent office is an invention by a
six -year-old boy. This is a toy with
sliding disks. capable of making a de-
lightful noise-to a year-old-and it's
inventor is said to be the youngest per-
son in the world to whom a patent has
ever been issued.
The American Medical association is
to make a study of methods of resusci-
tation from electrical shock. Many emil
nent physicians and electrical engineers
are to cooperate in the investigation,
which 1t is hoped will have important
practical results.

Walter F. Scott, cashier of the Bran
don National bank, will be a candidate
Tor state treasurer against Edward H.
Deavitt of Montpelier, who has held the
Office six years. Mr. Scott has served in
both branches of the Legislature and has
been identified with the banking business
80 years. The Brandon Union uses the
geographical arguments for its candidate
and points out that the east side has
held the treasurership 9S years and the
west side but IA years.
