rates bringing less than the cost OF sery-
ice in many, perhaps most, cases.
The parcel post has brought the re-
mote back -countryman into economic
contact with the city. 1t has made the
offerings OF the New York shops of in
terest to rural dwellers, and so has
increased the mercantile advantage OF
our own city to an appreciable extent.
But it could have conferred both bene'
fits without exerting its fatal influence
on business that had gone on for sixty
years.
There are two faults to the parcel post
system as it exists to-day. One Is that
il has broken up the established ex'
press organization, so that even where
we have expressmen idle, express wag-
ons in disuse, we have new material be-
ing broken in for parcel post work, and
new men learning the trade. The other
fault is that parcel post service is rem
dered in too many cases at price so
low as to entail loss to the government
or to contracting carriers. 1t is too late
to attempt any satisfactory scheme OF
cooperation such as might have been
adopted instead of unfair competition
between government and express com.
panies. But ii is not too late to make

Quarantine for plague seems likely to
threaten annoyance to tourists in the

the risk of plague does not appear to be
serious. Travellers will do well, however
to plan their journey so as to avoid in

The most alluring alternative--if not
more alIuring than the original PLANS
to come up north into Vermont, New
Hampshire and Maine, where disease is
little known, where the air is bracing
where the water is pure, where there is
a whole hearted welcome minus the
grasping for coin of the realm. Yer

Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix

from his visiting list. He innocently
asked a bartender there how much be

Welch replied all right, and produced the
largest ostrich egg he was able to bring

Although his field of usefulness was
in distant land and, therefore, his
work was little known in his native
state, the late Henry Willard Denison
NAV be considered one of the great men
who have gone out of Vermont. As le-
gal adviser to the foreign department
of the japanese government since 1880,
Mr.. Denison was largely instrumental in
forming the policy of that government
in over quarter of century and he also
acted as representative of the Toxic
government in drawing up the treaty
of peace with Russia at Portsmouth,
n. II. Having been given the position
of legal adviser to the legal department
when the Oriental country was just pre-
pairing to emerge from an obscure his
tory into the glory of world power
Mr.. Denison had a most difficult part ia
perform. That he performed that part
well is indicated by the long tenure ht
was permitted to hold and also by the
growing prominence of the Toxic gov
eminent in world conferences. No weak
ling could have done the work that Mr.
Denison did. Hence it is with particular
pride that Vermont regards the career
of this famous son, a native of the little
hamlet of GuildhaH up in Essex county

which there is not so much blind obedi-
ence to party dictates and under which
there is decidedly more attention paid
to the candidate himself and the specific
planks on which he stands. Taking cog
nizance Of that changed sentiment, the
perspicacious candidate addresses him
self to the people as whole, trusting
that the party with which he formerly
was associated will fall into line with
out special invitation and that he will
attract sufficient Others when the vote
test comes in order 20 secure the election
for him.

Less noise and pyrotechnics character
lied many Fourth of July celebrations
about Vermont on Saturday, but no onS
is prepared to say that there was any
thing lost in patriotism thereby. In
deed, there are many to say that I'M
der the new regime, or perhaps under the
return OF an old-time regime, greater
degree of patriotism was evinced than
was possible when two much noise and
too much fireworks were features of the
DAVIS celebrations. 1t is also noteworthy
that few serious accidents marred the
pleasures of the day. The return u
more sane, as well as safe, celebrations
of the day seem to have been success
so much of a success as to warrant imi
tation by more cities and towns by thu
time another year rolls around.

over loss of athletic contests to foreign

the performance OF Harvard university's

Several villages in Vermont are be-
coming interested in securing better pro-
lection from fire, and the agitation
should not be ended until a reasonable
equipment has been secured, together
with the necessary supply of water. Too
many villages have suffered as the result
of the purely passive attitude main
tanned by their people-trusting to luck
that serious fire will not visit their com
munities. Luck is poor ally in this
kind of circumstance.

Possibly the officials Of the Rhode IT,

that Vermont is good asylum for flu
citives who have fled from the institu'
ton at Providence, so they are not anx'
ious to secure the return of the fugitive

Rhode Island won't do it, the state Of
Vermont ought to find way of insuring
the return of this fugitive to his prop
er place. Vermont should not be holder

mer Burned While There Are Few in the Village to Help.

Saturday afternoon about o'clock the alarm for fire reused the few peo- pie in the village who had not gone out for the day and in spite of the strenuous work the residence of MT. and Mrs. Roswell Palmer of Elm street was entirely destroyed. The fire was supposed to have been the work Of children playing in the woodshed sev eral feet away, as the blaze started in one corner At the time the alarm was rung in there were only four of the regular fire company in the viI- lage and not many men able to fight ire, as the racing at PoquOnuock driving park had taken many away. The engine was taken to the spot and a stream from nearby wells thrown on the blaze. When this water was exhausted it was necessary to secure the rest from the cove and to do this the old hose was used. This burst several times. The neighboring house of Ellison Carroll caught several times, but was kept from burning. All but it was impossible to save the house. This was insured for $1,200.

 True stories are occasionally re- lated of cats catching fishes, and yer hication was given 10 at least one of these stories in Westerly a couple of years ago. At a period when the law was on, a cat within the town of Westerly. captured a large, live brook trout and brought it home alive and Hopping. That fish was placed in pail of water and delivered to Charles w. Willard, president of the inland fish commission and was liberated in the artificial lake in Wilcox park and lived long and prospered
 Now comes the true story of a fish capturing live bird in that same evidently mistaking some floating leaves for terra firma, alighted and with sufficient force to get the feath- CTS thoroughly water soaked. The bird was struggling along the water surface attempting to fly, when a big yoracious black bass came along and gobbled the bird with as much ap- parent eas as if it were a striped perch lingering. The fact of the bird catching the fish was witnessed by three men whose reputation for vera city is beyond question.
 Soon thereafter another bird skim ming close to the surface of the water was followed by a black bass and when the bird aiighted on the walk that surrounds the lake the nose of that bass was against the concrete wall of the lake.
