ITS a funny thing said Manager
Queisser last night after reading The
Gate City bulletin on the big league
games. Take that New York-Brook-
I'm game for instance. If two clubs
in this league or any other league in
the same class, played game with
the score of is to 3, with the winning
team getting twenty-five hits, and the
fans would never get through riding
the clubs for playing the rankest kind
Of bush league baseball But the talk
in these same leagues will give the
New York team credit for having a
marvellous bunch Of hitters and
Brooklyn bunch Of pitchers who are
not going right yet. y

Charge That Inferior Service Is Being
Furnished.

Boston, Nov. 20.--The desire of the
shippers is to get the service for which
they are paying said Louis d. Bran
deis, representing the Boston Fruit &
Produce exchange, in an address at yes
terdays session of the interstate COM
merce commissions hearing. The com
mission is investigating traffic condi-
tons on New England railroads.
Mr.. Brandeis charged that inferior
service was being furnished because of
alleged monopolistic conditions main
tanned in the New England transporta-
ton field. He also said that several
recent wrecks were due to neglect.
His remarks We're occa stoned by a
statement by counsel for the Boston &
Maine that the road was entitled, in
view Of its financial conditions, to
charge shippers for all service rem
dered.
Witnesses for the Boston g. Maine
were called by that system to
show that the discharge of employees did
not seriously impair the service, as
charged by Mr.. Brandeis.

"Uncle Toms Cabin

No play has ever won for itself SO
much human love and so much of true
friendship from the whole public as
"Uncle Toms Cabinet" 1t takes hold
of the heart of the audience at once
it bears the magic spell of genius that
makes it real to the auditor; he at once
forgets that it is play and is carried
away with its realism, having once seen
it, and ever after it takes on sort of
personality. II becomes like some per-
son whom one has known and loved !;
il is remembered not as a play, but as
an old friend, and on its return one
hastens to grasp it by the hand and
say, "Welcome"
It's play that pleases everybody. That
is one true mark OF real genius in a
drama; another is, that every time you
see il, you find new and clever things
that you had never seen in il before.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" tells a very pref
ty story of love, bravery and sacrifice,
and quite sensational tale of hatred,
jealousy and wiekedness. II has fine
vein of heart interest that is ever upper
most in the mind OF the spectator, il
is full of lively and stirring incidents.
and the scenes are truthful pictures or
life on the old plantation. The charae-
ter roles of the production are thorough
IL good. the climaxes well-timed and
effective, and for pure amusement this
can be depended upon for

Aside from the fact that Wesleyan
university's entire cost of financing
athletics during the past year was under
$1,000 the situation there is remark
able in that nearly every student OF
the university participates in some
branch or other of athletics. Few, il
any, colleges can say as much, Tor III
most of them the efforts are directed
toward training the few to beat some
other college, letting the many shift for
themselves for physical betterment. At
the same time, Wesleyan stands rather
well in the collegiate athletic world, hav-
ing just concluded successful football
season, having had one OF the best col
lege basketball teams last winter and
having ranked well in several other lines
OF sport. Taken altogether, the policy
Of the Connecticut institution seems to
be safe and sane to a marked degree.

ter Than Ours.

In a Christmas talk to girls entitled
"What Can We Afford?" published in
the December Woman's Home Compni-
ion, appears the following;
1T is good idea to keep little
extra fund over and above running ek-
penses, which may be devoted entirely
to chance expenditure, for what in the
best sense may be called bargains. The
French word for bargain is better than
ours; it is occasion. Here is an occasion,
an opportunity, to secure at a bargain
some cherished thing, a book one has
long wanted, good photograph, bit
of material lovely in color or texture;
or, here, for an expenditure far smaller
than the return, is the occasion to hear
a good speaker, to enjoy good music, or
good drama. Be exact about your
spending, and people may call you prac-
teal; but there is a higher sort of prac-
ticality, and If you want to keep really
practical accounts you must not neglect
to spend a certain amount each month
on the wished-for things as well as on
the so-called necessities"

SALARY OF THE VERMONT
GOVERNOR.

Vermont is talking now of making
the governors salary $1,000 year, but
not because the governor reject partic-
ularly needs the money.-Boston Globe.
No, without doubt Governor Fletcher
would be able to worry along on the
$500 which Vermont pays her chief ex-
ecutive. But why should Vermont pay
her governor more than Arkansas, Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland
Mississippi, New Hampshire, Nebraska,
North and South Carolina, Texas and
other states of the union, which are
larger and the duties of whose chief
executives office are far more exacting
than Vermont's? If Vermont demanded
all her governors time, it might be well
enough to increase the salary. But
Vermont doesn't. Vermont requires
rather close attention to the office dur
ing the session of the legislature, but
after that there is little but the routine
work, which the executive clerk can per-
form as acceptably as the governor him
self; and meanwhile the private business
of the goyernor-if he has any-goes
along under his personal management or
oversight, just as if the freemen of the
state had not called him to be their
executive for two years OF course, there
must be some sacrifice of time; but that
sacrifice is understood when man ac-
cepts the Office, and, moreover, it is
supposed to be more than offset by the
honor which the office brings to the
eneumbent. In view of those conditions
and also OF the further condition that l
the governors salary recently was raised
from 81 500 to $500, we can see no
great reason for the talk which the
contemporary Processes to have heard.

vERMoNTs AGRICULTURE.
Various Topics Were Taken UP at Meet
ing Last Evening.

Orlando l.. Martin, commissioner OF
agriculture, was the first speaker of the
meeting Of the Farmers club in Repre-
scntatives' hall last evening, his subjects
/ being "Our Farm Products in Other
States "1he Insect Pests" "Maple Sug.
ar and "Co-operatiye Effort" Last
year the brown tail moth appeared IN
only one Vermont town, this year IL
appeared in ID towns on the border of
Massachusetts. If we fight the moth as
| it approaches we will save much mon
ey. Already bill for providing n cen
sus OF the maple trees has been intro.
duced In the legislature. This is the
most neglected branch of our industry.
Last year the maple sugar crop brought
a million dollars to the Vermont farmer.
A list OF questions should be submitted
by the listers to the farmers and at the
end of the season the answers should
be tabulated. The live topic of to-day
is cooperative effort, but we are yet
ignorant of what is practicable along
this line. A commission may be sent
abroad by the national government to
look up the data and report.
l.. G. Dodge, from the bureau of farm
management at Washington, spoke on
Farm Management" What is the best
business proposition? Shall we run
dairy, keep sheep, horses, swine or hens
Here no two towns are alike. The dairy
Is most prominent, but in some parts
of Vermont IL is doubted if it would be
the best in point of profit. Poultry,
fruit growing, etc, in some places show
up better in net results for the amo1nt
invested. In some localities men who
keep sheep are making more money than
the men who are keeping cows.
Touching farm management he said !
that in Maine the government and state
shared the expense of an expert, who |
goes about giving instruction to farmers |
In New Hampshire, four towns were
