Interest In Vermont.

Mr. DeBoer insists that it is the bus
mess of the people of Vermont to choose
their governor and pay the bills, yet
big check for the use of the Mont
pelier DeBoer club comes from man in
Chicago. The problems in this new po-
litical practice seem to multiply.-Bu

'The man from Chicago proves to
be Vermonter, native of and prop
erty owner in Montpelier. He is deeply
interested in Vermont and the capital

He has substantially aided Montpelier
many times and i'll many ways as well.
Not only Montpelier but at least one
other town in Washington county. He
sees and appreciates what the DeBoer
movement means to Vermont--decided
progress and does what he can to aid
that movement from patriotic motives,
as well as from intimate knowledge of
the signal ability and unequalled quail

generous and indicated profound interest

A Curious Windstorm.

A peculiar freak Of weather is the
storm called the ''williwau." This
form of storm is confined to that far
off island TERRA del Fuego The coast
is indented with deep fiords crowned
with high mountains. Down from
their gorges drops the williwau, A
low, hoarse muttering is heard In the
distance. Suddenly. without the least
preliminary pun, fearful blast of
wind drops upon the sea. The water
is not raised into waves. but driven
into fine dust. Fortunately the shock
lasts but ten or twelve seconds. and
calm follows at once. for no vessel
could stand such wind for even half
a minute. During the coming and GO
ing of williwau the barometer may
be watched to drop tenth of an inch
or more and rise again at once.

Prison Board of Washington County
Seeks Action by Legislature.

| The prison board OF Washington coun

which they seek to have presented tC

| They are as follows;
Whereas we believe that every able
| bodied person committed to our county
4 jails or other institutions is physically
/ mentally and morally improved by hav.
ing his mind and body busted with work
at some useful occupation during the
term OF his confinement;
"Whereas. we believe the segregation
of large numbers of persons in enforced
idleness is one of the chief causes OF
failure of houses of correction % accom-
plish the purpose for which they are
designated.
Whereas, we believe that every able
bodied person committed should not only
be self-supporting during his stay but
should be allowed to earn money to
support himself with from the time of
his discharge until he can secure EN-.
ployment;
whereas. we believe the contract la
Dor system has been and still is very
satisfactory. both from the view of econ
omy and also the best good of the
prison laborers and is unfair to free la
Dor:
Whereas, we believe the work OF
Shrif Tracy during the last five years
in the county has proven to our full
satisfaction that the honor system OF
prison labor is the only system yet de-
vised which works with equal justice
to all parties at Interest,";
"Whereas, il is now very difficult to
secure sufficient employment for those
now confined in our iails
"Be it resolved that Vermont should
provide a state farm or farms on which
prison labor may be employed in such
way as to produce a large part of the
food supply consumed by our state in
stitutions, and which is now purchased
in the open market.
"And be it further resolved that
copy of these resolutions be sent to the
governor and that he be and hereby is
urged to give the matter careful con-
sideration and 20 bring this to the at

IN BOSTON MARKETS
Prospect of Drop In Butter Prices at
Once

Prospect OF Drop In Butter Pnces at
Once.
Boston, Jan. "a. Yesterday probably
saw the beginning OF the end Of the high
prices which have ruled lately for but
ter. From New York came word of a
further drop Of | l2e pound in the best
grades OF fresh butter and of cent
in the top line OF cold storage goods.
Prices began To weaken in that mar
ket last Thursday, and Yesterdays drop
put the market exactly Sc a pound below
the highest prices of the season, reached
week ago. Chicago quoted creamery
extras at SIC, which compares with 40c,
the extreme price OF last week, while
the Elgin, H., board, which is the sub
iect OF federal probe, quoted extra
creamery at Bic, a drop of &c from its
price of week ago.
Although there was no change in To-
cal quotations, the big receivers stated
that the decline in other markets had
made buyers cautious and that business
had become very quiet. The reason adj
yaneed for the failure OF local prices to
90 down with those in other markets
was that local prices have at no time
been as high as those elsewhere and
that the break in the outside markets
merely brought them to the level that
rules here.
New York reports are inclined to
ascribe the break in prices as due to
increasing competition from oleomargar-
inc and other substitutes for butter in
duced by the extreme prices for the
latter commodity, The supply OF fine
table butter has not increased and prob
ably will not grow materially for sew
eral weeks, or until the cows come into
new milk when the amount of cream
available for butter will he vastly great
er than it is now. But if substitutes
are freely used, as is to be expected
when butter commands the prices it
does now, the strain on the meagre
supply of butter should be relieved and
prices should work lower.
Boston receivers wax warm at the
suggestion that there is collision
among the big wholesalers of the coun-
try and that manipulation of supplies
is responsible for the present high prices.
They declare that the present situa-
ton is purely the result of the failure
of the country last summer and fall to
produce as much butter as the country
needs and that conditions, instead of
being artificial, were never more natural,
and that rarely has the law Of supply
and demand been so absolute as it is
now.
They even charge the talk of manipu-
lation to the manufacturers of oleo-
and other butter substitutes,
who, they say, are deliberately misrep-
resenting conditions with no other pur-

pose in view save to help the sale of
their product and to fatten their own
purses. But these days, in business,
like love and war, everything is fair
and the manufacturers Of oleomargarine
cannot be much blamed for taking adj
vantage of the opportunity presented
by the scarcity and high cost Of but
ter
The people of the country, at any rate,
will be thankful if the use of substi-
tutes for butter, or the talk of reduc-
ing the tariff on butter and the tax
on oleomargarine, will bring down the
cost of that household necessary that
now comes SO high-butter.
Not much change is taking place
meanwhile in the prices OF cheese and
eggs. Like butter, there il a marked
scarcity of cheese this year, but, UNI
like butter, there is no substitute for
cheese, and with the supply constantly
growing smaller, the cost stays up. The
hens find the weather little too cold
to pay strict attention to the job; con-
sequently, the supply of eggs is still
pretty light, as compared with those at
this time last year.

SUPREME COURT GOWNS.
They Are Made of the Finest Silk and
Are Quite Costly.

II is said that the cut aud style Of
the gowns worn by the justices of the
supreme court Of the United States are
so peculiar that it is not always posi-
bic to have one correctly made.
The wife OF n former justice used to
enjoy telling of her trying experiences
when she wished to have made in Par
is the gown her husband was to use.
The gowns worn there by scientists.
scholars and students diffet altogether
from those our justices wear.
In London any clerical tailor would
have understood the kind Of gown de-
sired. but not so In Paris. Wherefore,
after many failures, the Justices wife
gave instructions to the fashionable
modiste who made her gowns This
modiste was entirely successful in
turning out a gown for the justice.
The Justices gowns, which are al
ways Of the best quality Of silk, cost
upward of 500 When the supreme
court was first organized the justices
wore quite gaudy gowns.
A portrait in oil of the first chief jus
tice, John Jay, now hangs In the rob-
ing room opposite the supreme court
chamber and in this portrait the chief
justice is represented as wearing
black gown with broad bright red
border around the neck and down the
front. 1t is edged with gray. and the
sleeves show a red border at the top
