CURRENT COMMENT
Mrs. Dorr and Vermont.

! Mrs. Julia c. X. Dorr, the ever-young
! genuine and strong poet, who died at her
home in Rutland, Vt, yesterday in her
! sSth year, will never lose her honor
able place among the best writer's of
New England She was endowed with
unusual literary capacity, and had been
writing since her childhood. There was
nothing in her of the mere versiRer. but
there was always thought to be ex-
pressed, and her dietion was delicate, al
ways felicitous, and often strikingly
powerful. The strength of Mrs. DORIS
work grew with the years, and she gave
in her writing no hint of waning pow.
ers to the last Hers was a most at
tractive personality. which nowhere
shone brighter than in her home. While
emitting nothing which contributed to
the pleasure OF husband and family, Mrs.
Dorr lived a large and free individual
life in her writings. Middlebury coll
lege never did finer thing than in con-
ferring the degree of doctor of letters
upon Mrs. Dorr Il is not easy TO think
OF a more distinguished citizen of YER
mont than Mrs. Dorr came TO be-she
was incomparably first in her state in
the literary world. Troubles came into
her life. as to all the rest Of us, but
no hint of them ever tinged her work,
which was resonant with spiritual quail
ity and a serene philosophy that never
faltered. She took life in large way,
and the world was enriched by her high
service 10 H. She passes ont in the ripe
ness Of wears with hosts Of friends and
admirers 70 mourn her departure

BY the close of the present week the
legislature should have made deep in.
roads into that grist of 254 bills re-
naming to be disposed of. Let the
committees work assiduously and be pre-
pared to make report on the bills early
in the week. Such program is all
that can save the legislature from the
condition of lingering long into the
month of February when its work should
have been completed month or more
sooner.

Someway, we cannot think of that

anything serious; yet we suppose it APP
pears so to both the direct participants
in it. Anyway, it isn't so serious as
it might be, for we presume the po-
tatoes are nearly all moved ere this, and
the backwardness Of the winter has pre-
vented great numbering operations, which
precludes the necessity for moving much
lumber at the present time. The strik-

In requiring that Brandt, whom he
released from thirty-year term in pris-

tell of his (Brandt'sl recent criminal
career, Governor Sulzer of New York
softened the effect of the pardon upon
the general public immeasurably. There
was fear that Brandt might inflict
himself on the long-suffering public to
that extent, having listened to the inn
portunities of some stage manager who
loves money more than decency.

Two very sad cases of death have occurred
here within II couple Of days.
About ten days ago Mrs. Born, wife Of
the Chef engineer Of Est. La Grange, was
taken to the Hospital i'll with fever, and u
few days after her husband also went III
with fever. Mrs. Born died on Monday
night and WAS buried yesterday afternoon,
and this morning flags are at half mast
again, for the death of Mr., Born.
[ understand it has been pronounced ty-
phoid fever in both cases. If 1t Is, 1t has
been in a very viruleut form to cause death
in SO short a time.
A regular pail has been thrown over the
community, and general expressions OF sym
pathy are heard for the relatives OF the de-
ceased, who leave a baby boy of six months
old.
1t has only been about eight months since
the deceased arrived here, both young and
healthy, Mr.. Born, being a strong and able
bodied man.
During the short time they were with us
they made themselves very pleasant aud
agreeable to all with whom they came in con-
tact.
1t may not be opt of place here to make a
few remarks on the sanitary condition of the
town.
[ am of opinion Though I may be mis-
taken) that the cause of so much fever is
largely due to the lagoon and canal to the
north of the town. We know what stag
nant water means; a breeding place for dis
ease, therefore proper attention should be
paid to them, for, above all things the pub
lie health should be guarded.
