Socialist locals of Barre are making
arrangements for series of propaganda
lectures to be given during the late days
of winter and early spring. The lectures
will not be connected with any lyceum
bureau, as has been the custom for two
years back In all probability the first
speaker will be Fred Hurst of Provi-
dence, r. l., who is expected to speak in
the opera house on the evening OF Mon
day, March 2. If arrangements can be
made for booking Mr.. Hurst in Granite
willie and Mortified around March 2, his
trip to Vermont at that time is well as
sured. Many who attended the lecture
course conducted by the Socialists last
year will recall that Mr. Hurst was pro-
nounced by some to be the best informed
speaker in the series. He is shoe deal
err in Providence but devotes all of his
spare time to the propagation of the
Socialistic doctrines.

1t has been a particularly bad time
for ocean traffic. whether of the coast
wise or of the transatlantic service,
and even the staunchest ships have been
put to severe test by the storms that
have swept the sea. Fortunately, how
ever, there have been no great disasters
with tremendous loss of life since the
last storm broke loose in all its fury,
albeit there has been much suffering
among persons on board smaller craft
and even loss of life as some of the YES
sells had to be abandoned. Most fortu-
nate of all was the saving of the Fa5re
liner Roma, which was driven ashore on
the "stern and rock bound coast of
southern New England, only to be float
ed again after being in grave danger
and then creeping into port with its 800
and more passengers and also large
crew. There were possibilities for ter
rible disaster, and when the vessel was
reported making its way into port there
was a sigh of relief on all sides as the
tension was relieved. Other illustrations
there have been, too, of almost miracu-
lous escapes from wreck when ships have
been driven ashore and after hours OF
anxiety to people on board and on land,
blown off the rocks again by the chang
ing wind. Overlooking some of the
smaller disasters for the time-heing. one
is able to say that good fortune has at
tended ocean traffic in period OF such
violence as does not often come.

win not readily yield to treatment when
the efforts are started after the disease
has gained strong hold on the patient.
This recommendation is doubly impor-
tant to Vermont people because Of the
, fact that the sanatorium at Pittsford,
which is practically the only institution
in Vermont that is doing this sort Of
work, does not admit patients who are
in the far advanced stages. As many as
is persons were refused entrance to the
institution during the year because Of
the fact that their cases were considered
too far advanced, while other persons
doubtless would have applied had they
felt assured that they would be admit
ted. Thus it will be seen that patients
in the advanced stages of tuberculosis
are left practically to their own re-
sources in the fight against the disease
because Vermont and the cities and
towns of the state make. no provisions
for caring for them. This, then, is am
Pile reason why the treatment of tuber-
culosis should be started in the earliest
stages of the disease and why there
should by no delay due to INDIGESTION.
A physician ordinarily is able to inform
one whether there are dangerous signs,
and once those signs are discovered the
patient should submit himself to treat
ment, We have seen that prompt treat
ment is necessary If one wishes to be
admitted to the institution at Pittsford.
and observation of the progress of the
disease in Others has indicated the UNI
wisdom of delay. In short, every con-
sideration prompts to immediate action,
and the recommendation of the director
of the Vermont sanatorium ought to be
needed by everyone.
1t may be possible sometime for the
Pittsford institution, or some similar in
stitution in Vermont, to take patients
who are in the more advanced stages of
tuberculosis-but that will not come un-

ity in the matter. At the present time
the Pittsford institution is doing about
all the work it can do, and even at that

the past year-a sum il allowed to pile
up would amount to an insurmountable
obstacle to continued good work of the

is a member of the Proctor family and
that the donation was made in the hope
of carrying out the purposes of the donor
of the stitution, the late Senator Proc
tor. One and all in Vermont must feel
a great deal of gratitude to this friend
until Vermont as state is willing to
assume the burden of caring for its sick
in proper manner.

when the zero weather would be due.
Moreover, he essayed forecast on seis-

The hackers of the Federal league are
including Cuba in their concerted attack
upon organized baseball. Agents from
the new outlaw league have been scour-
ing Cuba for the best talent available
and are said to be offering alluring in
ducements. Cuba is said to be one of
the best fields for new talent and for
this reason the Fed. agents are in hopes
of securing many players over whom no
legal tsngles will ensue.

CURRENT COMMENT
vermont's Revolutions"

"a quiet revolution is going on in Ver-
mont which thus far has been kept with
in constitutional limits" is the declara-
ton of the governor of this state to
audiences within and without the state.
He does not, however, tell of the great
est revolution he has introduced namely,
the pardon OF more prisoners than any
otner governor in recent years. This
represents complete revolution on the
part of the governor, for when he was
speaking before the Congregationalists
here last spring he solemnly averred he
should grant no pardons unless it was
shown that material evidence had been
discovered since the trial and conviction
of the criminal.
We commented favorably at the time
on the sane and wise attitude of the
governor. Despite that public statement
he has gone on pardoning criminals with
out scintilla of new evidence. Doubt
less he has some satisfactory--to him.
self-reasons for this wholesale pardon
ing but the average citizen will wonder
why he has gone back on his public word
in the manner he has. Not only has
he compromised himself in his course but
he is showing the greatest disrespect
to the courts of the state. Each one
Of the numerous criminals pardoned by
the governor was convicted by due proc.
ess Of the law. Their punishment was
considered by the governor when a par
by law. But none of this legal work is
onsidered by the governor when par
don is requested.
1t seems certain revolution is going
ON in Vermont but every thinking citi-
zen may well question whether or not it
is a revolution in favor of law and order
or for the personal advantage of man
seeking to build up his own interests at
the expense of government by law.-St.
Johnsbury Caledonan.

DICKENS ROMANCE.
His Early Love, Who Tilted Him, ssd
Her Pathetic End.

Her Pathetic End.
The story of how Charles Dickens
was Tilted is particularly interesting.
When he was eighteen Dickens be-
came acquainted with the three daugh-
tiers of George Beadnell. Lombard
street banker. With one of them.
Marfa (the original of Dora in David
Coppertield"l. who was a year his
senior, he Immediately fell in love. and
Maria firted with him very desperate
ly. But the love making of the future
novelist was not treated, very serious
ly, for he was not considered by any
means an eligible party. and even Ma
ria herself adopted an attitude of
amused tolerance.
For, three years the affair went on.
and then Dickens realized that his case
was hopeless. He pleaded in vain
with the girl. whose caprices madden
ed and gladdened him alternately. for.
as a matter of fact, Maria Beadnell
was n willful coquette. The end of II
all was reply that held out no hope.
and SO the parting came. For twenty
years they saw no more of one ait
other.
Ultimately Maria Beadnell was mar
ried to Henry Louis Winter, and when
Dickens met her again time had
wrought sad havoc on his youthful
ideal. Mrs. Winter wrote TO her old
lover but Dickens did not care to re-
new a correspondence with his old
sweetheart. Then Mr.. Winter failed.
and the chagrined wife appealed to
the lover of her girlhood for help, but
without avail. and the romance ended
long before the death of Dickens in
1S70.-Exchange.
