UNWRITTEN BOOKS.
Stories Planned and Promised That
Never Saw the Light.

Never Saw the Light.
The Bookman republishes paper by
Professor Brander Matthews entitled
''Unwritten Books" that was first
printed many years ago. Professor
Matthews speaks OF the projected
books and plays that never saw the
light and have been read, like bills in
congress, by title only.
Moliere planned a comedy under the
title "L'HOmme de COur," which was
to be his masterpiece. Nothing is
known of it today. Richard Brinsley
Sheridan intended to write d follower
to THE School For Scandal" and The
Rivals" The subject was "Affecta-
ton" 1t never went beyond a few
random notes.
For years the paper covers of every
new book that Victor Hugo issued con-
tinued to announce as soon to be pub
lished a romance entitled la Guam
quengrOgne." Many pOsthumOus vol
umes Of the French poets writing in
prose and verse have been sent forth
by his literary executors, but of this
oddly entitled fiction nothing has been
heard. In 1862 Alphonse Daudet an
nounced as In press a volume Of short
stories to be called La PentamerOn."
The book remained unpublished and
apparently unwritten. The younger
Dumas has left on record more than
one reference TO a comedy to be called
ia Route de Thebes," planned before
"FrancillOn," but never given to the
public

WHY FoSS LEFT REPUBLICANS.
Told Bellows Falls 1t Was Because Party
Ceased to Represent Whole People.

| Bellows Falls. A.,g. 23.- Upwards Of
800 people throng ',c opera house last
evening to attenr The opening Demo-
cratic rally of the campaign. Many la
| dies attended. The first orator was Har-
land B. Howe, Democratic candidate for
governor, who scathingly arraigned the
Republican administration in Vermont
and characterized it as half-century of
msrule especially upon the subject of
taxation Mr.. Howe seemed to make a
hit with the crowd.
The second speaker was Fred NJ
OConnell, for three years the mayor of
Fitchburg. He eulogized Governor Foss
and his administration and asked Yer.
mont to send down more of his brand to
Massachusetts,.
The chief speaker of the evening was
Governor Eugene n. Foss, who began at
9;l5 and held the close attention of
most of the crowd for three-quarters OF
an hour. He was optimistic in the ex-
treme and prophesied not only his own
reelection, but the triumph of the Dem
ocratic ticket in Vermont as well, and
declared that there had been a marvellous
Democratic awakening in Vermont since
the day when, as boy, he knew but
two Democrats in all st. Adams.
He characterized the initiative and ref
erendum as great safeguards and cor
receives, though seldom used, since they
put legislators on their guard. The Ia
dies, he declared, were interested not
only in equal suffrage, which he favored,
but also in taxation and the cost of the
necessities of life. All New England had
similar needs and should have free raw
materials and better transportation fa-
cilities, the latter to be secured through
competition of the Grand Trunk with
the New Haven.
Governor Foss exultantly maintained
that Massachusetts had placed on the
statute books more constructive legisla-
tion for the whole people in the last two
years than in all the half-century pre-
vious.
Colonel Roosevelt paid the Massachu.
setts Democracy compliment when he
took its program of accomplished fact
for the progressive hope of the future.
The speaker said he left the Republican
party because it ceased to represent the
whole people.
He made a local hit against a high
tariff by saying that reduction of the
tariff on pulp paper had served to in
crease instead of decrease wages in Bel
lows Falls and also stated that his own
industry had higher tariff than was
necessary. In closing, he advised all to
vote for Harland B. Howe and to spend
million dollars year for better roads
in Vermont.

Fire in Haymow at H. M. Farnham Farm
Called Out the Fire Department.

A general alarm yesterday afternoon
Mt l:45 called the fire department to the
farm of Horace NJ. Farnham on upper
Mortified street, where brisk fire in
the haymow resulted in about 5000
damage. Some of the firemen stayed
at the farm all the afternoon. The fire
is supposed to have been started by
spontaneous combustion and may have
been burning for some weeks, not break
ing out until the fire reached the top OF
the hay Most of it was pitched out of
the bay and thoroughly drenched with
water.

REFUSED VOTES OR ENDORSE
MENTS.

Hale X. Darling of Orange county,
candidate for state senator, doubles,
will be prompt to correct the impression
conveyed by the Morrisville Messenger
that he doesn't care for the votes of
any but Republicans. There is wide
difference between turning down a nom
nation or endorsement from another
party and refusing individual votes FROM
any but Republicans. Mr.. Darling
wouldn't be like to adopt the latter pol
icy, whatever might be his compunc
tons about accepting endorsement of a
second party. 1t is probable, too, that a
large number of Orange county voters
of other political faiths than Mr.. OAR
ling will see their way clear to vote
for him because of his known ability.

Der of cities and towns in Vermont are
to have their representation in the next
Republican state convention considerably
reduced because of the fact that the

1t was a marked tribute to Governor
Foss of Massachusetts when 200 people
stood through the rain to listen to him
at Democratic rally in Brattleboro
Wednesday evening. The evidence of in
terest displayed was such as to warn
Democrats that the voters are not -,
hide bound in politics nowadays but
what they are willing to hear both sides

The managers of the Republican state
campaign in Vermont should get their
speakers together so that their views
en- taxation will be in accord with each
other. For one speaker, and candi-
date for governor at that, to speak in
favor of one method of relief from taxa,
tion evils, and another campaigner to
advocate second and quite radically
different method of relief, is not good
politics Either one or the other of the
speakers should change his topic, if they
cannot agree.
