RAILWAYS SCORE VICTORY.

Washington, April THE Inter-
state Commerce Commission on Mon
day handed down a decision which
is notable victory for the railroads
on Transcontinental rates to the Pa
cific. Advanced rates which were
suspended some time ago have been
allowed by the commission.
Commissioner Clements, in the in
terests of shipper and carrier, pre-
vailed upon the carriers to meet with
the shippers in informal conference
at the close of the hearings in an en-
deavor to amicably adjust at least a
part Of their differences.
AS a result of these conferences,
first between the parties themselves
and later with Commissioner Gle
ments, most of the disputed items
were in that way adjusted satisfac-
torily to the shippers, who withdrew
their protests. This decision con-
demns certain of the proposed ad-
vances, and the few remaining ones
are permitted to become effective.
1t is to be hoped that the manner
in which this inquiry was conducted
may serve as valued precedent in
the procedure of the Commission

SCALE SPRAYING
DEMONSTRATIONS TO END.

The demonstrations for spraying
dormant trees for San Jose scale,
Blister Mite, Peach-Leaf Curl, and
other pests that would be reached
during this dormant season will come
to a close in the Northeastern por-
tion of Pennsylvania this week. The
earlier demonstrations were arrang-
ed for the Southern or lower portions
of the State, and were given before
the buds burst. Those which are
now scheduled and announced are in
that portion of the State where the
spring is slow in advancing, and the
dormant spraying can yet be done
successfully.
These demonstrations have been
unusually successful, having been
attended by over 10000 persons,
who are intensely interested. By
this means State Zoologist H. A. Sur
face has succeeded in carrying to the
horticultural citizens of this Com
monwealth the very latest and the
best information upon the first essen
tial steps in securing good fruit.
Thousands of persons have seen the
work done, and after understanding
the methods they have returned to
their own premises to undertake it in
the same manner and insure such
good results this year as in years
past where this work has been thor
oughly and properly done.
The next public demonstrations by
the Division of Zoology of the State
Department of Agriculture will be for
the Cooling Moth and other pests and
plant diseases, just after the bios
SONS fall. 1t must be remembered
that the expert demonstrator will be
present rain or shine, and the public
meeting will be held at one o'clock
on the afternoon of the date an
nounced. The schedule for the last
week of demonstrations on dormant
trees is as follows:
Carbon county-Monday, April z,
S. w. Gangwer, Rockport.
Elk county-Monday, April 7, Jos.

Who Should Remain East.
Who Should Go West.


Who Should Go West.
Conditions are good in the East,
and if you are satisfied to be a
wage Garner the factories are there.
We make no shoes, no fabrics, no
machinery here. We produce the raw
materials. Every year sees thous-
ands more people added to our side,
but every time we get a recruit it
calls for one more in the East to
make up the stuff he wants. We
want some of all the necessities of
life, and nearly all of the luxuries.
AS long as some of you stay in the
East to use our beef, wheat, pork,
ETC., and work up our woods and
hides, we will be satisfied. We
don't want all of you to come, as l
said before, but we could use a lot
of you to fill up this big, rich State.
Once here you will soon adopt the
cowboys song as your own-"Let me
live in old Montana where there's S
lots of room and air, Cotton-woods
and pine trees, Bitter Root and
Prickley Pear"

CONFESSES NUMBERING SISTER,.

Mrs. Eugene Mccarthy, IS years old
of West Rutland, the mother of eight
children, is the self confessed murderer
of her sister, Miss Alice Kerrigan,
elderly splnster, who with her father,
lived on the street floor of the same
house in which the Mccarthy family
lived
The murder took place Friday,
August Is, but the discovery was not
made until the following Tuesday,
when the body of the murdered woman
was dug up in the cellar, it being
buried under several inches of dirt
which mad been we'll stamped down.
Suspicion was directed toward Mrs.
Mccarthy some time before the deed
was discovered as her sister disap-
peared suddenly and a brother living
in Rutland asked officers to look into
the matter. They placed Mrs. Nc
Carthy under arrest and she finally
confessed the awful deed She stated
that she and her sister had slight
quarrel and that she shot the sister
with shot gun. while she lay on a
couch, dragged the body down cellar
and buried it, but first stated that she
had burned the body. The officers
found the corpse of Miss Kerrigan as
u1EOCCSu WIdDpSu III UIdIlhSCS, ClSHCly
bound, and buried in the cellar.
The husband works in the marble
shops in Proctor and only learned Of
the affair upon his return home Tues
day evening, when he found his wife
locked up for murder, and was COM
pletely overcome. The neighbors were
caring for the children.
The aged father of the two women
says he heard no shot while working
in the garden on the Friday when the
deed was said to have been committed
and the children it appears were pick
ing berries on the hillside near by that
afternoon.
The tragedy is stirring up the town
the more because of the prominence of
the persons concerned. The murdered
woman was highly respected spinster.
Mrs. Mccarthy, whose maiden name
was Mary Kerrigan, was the village
belle a few decades ago and her
marriage about Is years ago to Eugene
Mccarthy was the occasion of the
largest wedding Rutland ever saw.
Insanity and insane rage are general
ly believed by the friends to have been

WORSE THAN RECIPROCITY.

Senator Page made an effort in the
United States senate last week to save
the proposed tariff reduction on butter
as called for in the bill now before
congress, but it was of no avail. The
schedule went through which reduced
the tariff fro cents to p cents per
pound. Senator Dillingham; also made
a speech on the proposed tariff changes
and told of it's effects on the agricul-
tural interests of New England. He
said:
elbow will the pending measure
affect the New England farmer in
respect to Canadian products?
In this bill the rates are decreased
100 per cent from the present duties on
eggs, milk, cream, potatoes, corn, rye,
wheat, flax, buckwheat. cabbage,
bacon and hams. lard, tallow, fresh
beef, veal, and so forth, cattle. swine
and sheep. The duties are reduced so
per cent on poultry, butter, cheese.
apples, peaches, pears, and so forth.
straw, oats, peas, and horses. The
rates on hay, onions and barley are
reduced so per cent. And this is done
without any reciprocal advantage
offered to or received by any class of
producers in the United States.
"He can but remember the dark
days under the Wilson bill in the years
1895, 1896 and 1897. when all classes
received such staggering blows that
each sympathized with the other in
the sufferings that followed; vast
throngs of workingmen were without
employment, soup houses were opened
in many of our cities, armies of the
unemployed demanded work of the
public authorities, farm and dairy
produce suffered heavy decline in
prices, and the finest products of New
England's farms and dairies sold in
the markets of New England for prices
less than the cost of production.
Many Vermont farmers were bitter
toward the supporters of the Canadian
reciprocity pact two years ago who
now see something really destruc
tive staring them in the face. The
reciprocity act contained reductions il
butter and some other products but il
exchange Canada was to send US grain
lumber and many other products which
the farmer uses. It was much prefer
able to the present scheme whereof.
Canada gets all the benefit of the tariff
reduction but gives us nothing il
return.

Nothing startling has happened in the
telephone situation here in VermontfOr
week out Gov. Fletcher is apparently
gaining strength in his position against
the deposed public service commission
and the telephone corporation. In the
meantime nothing definite appears
to be taking place and the telephone
company is getting additional revenue
from their raise in rates. The new
directory just issued by the Passump-
sic company in a given territory in
Orleans county shows decrease in the
number of subscribers listed by more
than 200 and still in that same territory
the present rates bring greater
revenue to the company than 1T re-
ceived under the old rate with these
200 additional instruments. In short,
the people now receive less free zone
territory than before the raise in
prices last spring, get fewer connec
lions because there are fewer sub
scribers and pay higher price for the
service On the other hand the com.
pany gets an increase in revenue.
That's what the company is looking
| for.

The Sulzer-Tammany-Glynn row and
impeachment proceedings in New York
state is little short of a national
disgrace. That there is even ground
for impeachment proceedings against
the governor of the greatest state in
the union is humiliating Only eight
governors in the whole history of our
government have been impeached.
But last of all, that the proceedings
should be instigated, as is probably
the case, by Tammany, the boss Demo-
cratic organization of New York is still
more disgusting. And then to have
Lieutenant Governor Glynn fight the
claim that he is governor as soon as
Sulzer was impeached, and have Sulzer
fight back, and Mrs. Sulzer come into
the foreground by claiming that she
and not her husband misappropriated
campaign funds. Well, it's just one

Revolver Shot Fatal.

A revolver that refused to go off on
schedule cost the life, Aug. IL, of IT.
year-old Leo La Mothe Of Burlington.
With Raymond Shequin, the La
Mothe boy was playing with loaded
revolver in his home. He tried to fire
it, but the weapon refused to work.
He then passed 1T to his playmate and
the two bent their energies upon it,
with the result that Leo received a
bullet in the pit of the stomach. He
died later at the Burlington hospital.
