Exports From Boston For Year
1911 Show Tremendous Gains.

Boston's export business for 1911
showed extraordinary gains over that
of 1910, according to figures compiled by
Statistician De Pass of the Chamber of
Commerce. Grain exports increased 65
per cent. over the previous year.
During the twelve months of 1911,
just ended, Is, 480, 1876 bushels of wheat,
corn, oats, rye and barley were sent
abroad from this port, compared with
1922, $40 for the year before. There
was also notable gain in shipments of
cotton from here to Europe. There
were 100, 500 bales shipped to England
and the continent, as against 1873, 475 in
1910, and the exports Of lard, bacon and
dairy produce were very much larger
than the year before. In fact, the sole
commodity in the line of food stuffs that
failed to make gains was flour, the
record for the two years being almost
the same. In 1911 there were 81 ,87G
sacks of 40 pounds each and 1855 bar
rells, compared with SIT, 1888 and 10, 2S4
in 1910.
Our hay, too, is apparently being usec
in large amounts in Europe, for in 1911
80, 1856 tons were sent across. In 1915
only 16, 703 tons were exported. -Bostor

The above is very excellent article
and also very timely one. For some
of the scientists of the present day,
nearly all we believe of the ablest of
them, have abandoned, among other
things, the Undulatory Theories, that
now for eighty years or more have been
the fetch before which nearly all scien-
lists have bowed, although the slightest
use of common sense shows that they
are absurd and in the nature of things
impossible.

The next business to come before
the meeting was the election of
officers to serve the society for the
coming year. Col. S. A. Illsley, being
recognized by the chair, in clean-cut
speech placed in nomination the name of
the present incumbent, Hon. John E.
Weeks. The nomination was seconded
by several members in different parts
of the hall and Mr. Weeks was elected
unanimously to succeed himself as
president of the Addison County Agri

office Judge Weeks made a brief ad-
dress in which he stated that this was
his fifth election to the office and made
several recommendation one of these
being to increase the price of season
tickets from 81. so to 81. 90 and motion
to this effect made by John H. Donnelly
of Vergennes was carried unanimously.
Next in order came the nomination
for first vice-president. President John
M. Thomas was accorded the floor and
in a glowing speech nominated Col
S. A. Ilsley. The nomination was
heartily seconded and Col. Ilsley was
unanimously elected to the Office of first
vice-president.
For second vice-president E. N.
Bissell of Shoreham was placed in
nomination by the veteran farmer L..
w. Peet of Cornwall and he was elect
ed unanimously.
For the Office of secretary Hon Will
liam A. Lawrence of Bristol placed in
nomination the present incumbent,
Hon. Frank c. Dyer, whose election
was unanimous.
The next Office to be filled was that of
treasurer and C. F. Rogers was nomi-
mated by A. w. Foote of Cornwall and
unanimously elected.
For auditors Charles A. Chapman of
Ferrisburg, j. NJ Burke and John A.
Fletcher of Middlebury were the unani-
nous choice of the society.
Next came the election of three
directors to serve three years and John
A. James of Weybridge, William C.

This completed the election of officers

during the last week in August on the
81, rs, 20 and 80 of that month. 1t was
also voted to send the premium list to
every member of the society and all
others interested.
No further business appearing one of
the most successful and interesting
agricultural meetings ever held in this
county came to a close and on motion
was declared adjourned.
The balance of the afternoon was
taken up with an entertainment by the
Standish male quartet of Boston who
sang number of songs which were
very pleasing and showed their musical
training to be of a high order. They
were repeatedly encored and responded
literally. Herbert A. Clark, the cele-
brated singer and impersonator, sang
several character songs which were
highly appreciated by the audience and
his representations and character
sketches kept the close attention of his

homeopathic hospital at London found
that the mortality there did not exceed
5 per cent. This was a revelation.
Instead of using diluted remedies, none
at all were used, and soon the NOR
tally in France fell to the same figure.
Today, instead of weakening the patient
by blood-letting, he is strengthened by
alcohol stimulants. This is a good
example of the change in expert opin-
ion. There is no need to multiply the
examples, and it seems evident that the
greater part of our scientific opinions
should not be termed knowledge, but
rather belief"

 The other wound penetrated the left forearm and probably indicates that the unfortunate woman raised that arm to protect herself from the Enur- derous attack of her assailant-

 The Italian spelling of the Cava1feri woman's name is GAanina Cayalieri, and 1t will be further recalled that the name of another woman figured in the case in dispatches from Chicago The advices from Chicago were that the Cavalieri woman had a female companion who was supposed to have gone East about the same time, each of them having previously been mark ed for death because they had inform ed on members of the white slave gang and had given testim0ny in one case which the government authorities had prosecuted.

 There was also an old white under skirt wrapped about the body which was done up in a tight bundle and tied with wires The woman wore 8. chenise and around her neck was small apron A calico petticoat about the lower part of the body did not have the appearance of having been worn by the woman at the time of her murder but looked as though it had been thrown around the hips. The wires were used plentifully and the clothing was bundled very tight ly about the nude body. Fastened to this was a large stone, weighing about 75 pounds. The stone was two feet, by eight inches, by six inches. There was also a scapu1er about her neck.
 The theory of those who investi- gated the case this forenoon was that the body was thrown into deep water oa the opposite side of the pond from where it was found. There is a rail- road bridge nearby and it could easily have been tossed into the pond

 Before leaving Washington, today, President Gompers declared that the changes made by the supreme court were acceptable to labor but infinitesi' mai in results.
 .sIf man determines to kill you.' he said, ''it is some advantage if he tells you in advance he is going to do so If he finally carries out his purpose you don't gain much. That's about the advantage we have gained by the supreme courts action. We are glad the court took some notice of our grievances and the fact that they did is evidence to us at least that they realize in part the justice of our con tentions."

COAL $8.5O A TON
 BEGINNING MONDAY
Local Dealers State Reason Why They Are Compelled
 to Advance Price

The price. of coal per ton in this city, of the egg, stove and nut variety. commonly. termed family sizes will be $8.50 g. ton beginning Monday and just how long that rate will be main tained depends altogether on circum- stances over which the local dealers apparently have no control.
 The situation in the coal market has been acute for some time and it can now in truth be said to be criti- cal. The dealers here met yesterday for the purpose of going into the question and endeavor if possible to find some way to relieve the tense ness of the situation
 They found after comparing notes that 1t would be impossible to con ton longer than today because they are now compelled to pay $725 a ton themselves at the point of ship ping and they are unable to secure require for their trade

 i, Vincent Bros, local dealers, said that early last spring they placed or ders for approximately 10000 tons for their trade and of this amount they have received to date only 5O7 tons. They placed their order with the concerns they have, been dealing with for 20 years and despite le fact that they tried in every conceivable way to secure shipments they have been unable to get the coal through here excepting the 5O7 tons. What other coal they have been/ able to oi- tain they have been compelled to buy from speculators in open market practically at auction prices.
 The dealer with whom the Farmer talked said that the situation in this city was typical of the situation in other parts of the country where the dealers are at the mercy of the trans portation companies.
