WEALTH FROM CALAMITY

Yes, just that-wealth from calam
lily.
The war in Europe is a calamity
a world calamity-but from it will
come great wealth for the American
farmer.
When the war is over, Europe will
awaken to the fact hat 1t is desti-
tute Of foodstuffs. Fields will be till
ed only by aged men, women and
young boys. and the little produced by
them will supply but a fraction OF
the demand.
II is then that the American farmer
will step into the breech with his
hundreds of millions Of dollars worth
Of farm products. The demand will
be great and prices will be cores
pondingly high, and the farmer should
reap a golden harvest such as he has
eve known before.
And the farmer will spend literally
in turn and the merchant, and the
professional man, and the iaborer, and
all Of the people (even unto the hum
Bile edito) will share 1 nthe newly
accumulated wealth that is to come

LORD ROBERTS DEAD
Noted British Soldier Dies WhIleSvisit-
Ing Troops On Battle Line.

b.. Field Marshal Earl Roberts diad Sat
urday night in France from pneumon-
la. A telegram from Field Marshal
Sir John French, commander. Of the
British expeditionary forces on the
continent, apprised Earl Kitchener,
secretary Of state for war. Of the death
OF England's great soldier. The tele-
gram read:
Il deeply regret to tell you that
Lord Roberts died at s o'clock this
saturday. evening"
Field Marshal Roberts, who was
colonel In chief OF the Indian troops
had one to France to give them his
greeting. Soon after his arrived he be-
came seriously Ill. He suffered from
a severe chill on Thursday. and pneu-
monia rapidly developed. His great
age, so years, initiated against his re-
covery, the crisis in the diease com
ing quickly.
Surprise TO England.
The news of the death of Lord Rob-
erts came as an entire surprise To
England. The veterans devotion Il the
interests of the army. his hard work
In this connection, and his seeming
good health, had been the subject OF
comment since the beginning OF the
war. He was the most popular mill
tary figure I'm Great Britain and q
national hero without rival In the af-
~fections OF the people.
Despite his years he had never
ceased hard work since his nominal
retirement, and as he had often re-
marked, he lived a rigidly abstemious
life, that he might preserve his
strength for the service OF his country.
Disturbed Germany.
During the past five or six years,
when the German war cloud had been
growing, he prosecuted AN active cam
paign to persuade the nation TO adopt
a compulsory military service. His
belief was hat Great Britain required
the support OF the whole male popula-
ton in arms.
BY speeches in parliament an dad
dresses before meetings throughout
the Kingdom, by magazine writings
letters. he preached increasingly the
necessity for the nation to have its
men trained in tn erudiments at least,
OF the soldiers work. 80 that they
could be called quickly to arms to de-
fend the country against invasion.
In private conversation he ex-
pressed the conviction that Germany
was planning to make war on Great
Britain when she found an advanta-
geous moment, and he believed that
the supposed menace Of civil war in
Ireland was a factor in setting alight
the present European confagration.

Firms Counsel Wants Only
Such as He Sees Fit
Given Out

New York, May 2s.--For more than
an hour yesterday Joseph w. Folk, chief
counsel for the interstate commerce com
mission, conferred with Francis Lynde
Stetson, counsel for j. p. Morgan &
Co., concerning Mr.. Morgan's offer to al
low the commission to examine the
firms records relating to the New Haven
railroad. A statement issued by Mr..
Folk after the conference indicated that
there had been some difference of opinion
as to what papers and records should be
gone into. Mr. Stetson left the con-
ference apparently with this matter not
finally determined. 1t is understood that
he will report to Mr.. Folk later.
"We insist said Mr.. Folk, that the
examiners shall decide for themselves
what books and papers of the firm re-
late to the New Haven. We also insist
that these examiners shall not be con-
fined to books and papers handed them
and said to be all that relate to the New
Haven In other words, the examination
to be worth anything must be thorough.
We want all the books and papers or
none at all"
"The results will show" said Mr. Stet-
son. "There is the firms offer and the
offer has been accepted. That is all
have to say now. The conference was
one of procedure only"

Tribute to a Newspaper Reporter.

An expert reporter like the late John
w. Carberry, one who can be trusted TO
handle big assignments in big way,
obtains an experience of men and man
ners such as falls to the lot of
few of his readers. He sees motives as
they were. and men as they are. Fortu-
nate he is if he does not become a cvnic.
Mr.. Carberry was fortunate in preserv-
ing his happy temperament, and the
Globe was likewise fortunate because
of his retaining his mental equilibrium
at all times. The common saying of the
public is that newspapers publish all
they know. This saying is erroneous.
men of good standing respect
confidence and those of Mr.. Carberry's
cslibre also respect the sensibilities of
the public They never publish all they
know, for which reticence the public is
under an obligation to them that it sell

DIRECTORY OF USEFUL MINERALS.
Unique Government Report which Tells
What State Mineral Is Found.

Every city has a directory of its in
babitants, giving the names of wage
earners. and the addresses where each
may be found. If you do not know
persons name but do know that he is
paper hanger, the classified business di-
rectory will locate him for you. A d.
rectory of the useful minerals in the
United States, on much the same plan,
has just been published by the United
States geographical survey. If you
want to know where any one of the 400
useful minerals occurs, this directory
gives the list of localities in each state
where your mineral will be found. If
YOU do not know the name of the min
eral but do know that it is an ore of
silver or manganese, or carries asphalt
or radium, the glossary will guide you
to it.
The material in this bulletin is In two
distinct parts. The first part consists
of lists of the occurrences of minerals in
each of the states, beginning with Ala
bama and ending with Wyoming. Under
the name OF each state the minerals
found in that state are given in alpha
bette sequence, and after each mineral
name is given a list of the places where
the mineral is found. The second part
is glossary OF more than 425 names.
Each definition is followed by a list OF
the states in which the mineral occurs.
The glossary is therefore virtually an
index to the first part.
Some mineral aggregates, such as
clay, granite, limestone, sand, and sand
stone are included because they consti-
tute very considerable part of the
mineral production Of the country.
This publication should be useful TO
many classes of people in many ways.
If some one wants to sell you stock in
a Texas oil company the report will tell
you in what counties in Texas oil is pro-
duced and in what other counties it may
eventually be found. If your wife wears
a bloodstonc lRvalier. the report gives
you the only locality in the United
States where that stone is known to oc
eur. If you want to manufacture plas
ter of Paris or need lime for your back
pasture. this report will tell you where
to find the gypsum and gives the loca-
ton OF your nearest limekiln.

MUSIC FESTIVAL
OPENS SPLENDIDLY
Large Audience Enjoyed Opening Con-
cert at Montpelier City Hall Last
Evening.

The Montpelier city hall auditorium
was filled last night for the opening
concert of the Montpelier Choral union,
in which $50 persons took part, and one
and all declared it to be the best of the
many fine concerts the union has given.
The soloists OF the evening were Mime.
Marie Sundelius, concert soprano; George
Rasely, Boston tenor; Mrs. Persis
Thompson Babcock, contralto OF the
choir OF the Dutch Middle Reformed
church, New York; Earl Cartwright,
Boston baritone, and William Nye of
Keene, n. H., basso. Mrs. Babcock is a
sister of Mrs. Dorman B. +. Kent and
for that reason her singing was of espe-
cial interest.
The program consisted OF a chorus for
mixed voices, "The Pliable Swain; "Ah.
Fors' Lui," from Verdi's ia Travita,"
by Madame Sundelius, with "Mavour
neen," in response to encore; "Cavatina,"
from Faust" Mr.. Rasely, with when
You See My Mistress Dear" as response;
aria from "Nadeschoda," Mrs. Babcoek,
with 'In Garden" for response. Mr..
Cartwright, who has appeared at for
mer Montpelier festivals and always
pleases, sang Morning" and responded
with "The Rosary" This was followed
by choral number, Kremser's Hymn
to the Madonna" which closed the first
part of the concert.
The second part was wholly given over
to the rendition of Mendelssohn's "The
First Walpurgis Night" and in it both
soloists and members of the chorus
showed to the best of advantage. The
audience was delighted.
All realized that without the guiding
hand of Nelson p. Coffin of Keene, n. H..
the conductor OF the chorus, it would
have been impossible TO have brought
the concert to the high degree of per-
lection attained and the people gathered
to listen granted to him his full share
of the honor. The accompanies, Mrs.
Louis H. Badord and Mrs. X. L. Cleaves,
also did much toward the success of the
affair. The orchestra was made up of
several members of the Boston opera
house orchestra and part of the Mont
pelier band orchestra, with Roland w.
Huxley of Boston as concert master.
A matinee is being held this afternoon
and at s o'clock this evening occurs the
final concert, when Jeanne Gerville-
Reache, the prima donna eontralto, will
appear. The program for the evening
is as follows: "Daybreak" (Faning),
"Toreador's Song" tBizet), Mr..
"Depus lie Jour-" Louise"

RECEPTION GIVEN
ROOSEVELT STARTS
POLITICAL GOSSIP
Former President Expected to Dominate
Arena of Politics on Return from
Spain.

Washington, May 2S.-The national
|capital was taking stock yesterday.
With Roosevelt back in New York, poll
ticians OF every party were discussing
what the result was to be.
The former president received an ova-
tion ecIipsing any ever given former
executive with the possible exception OF
Gen. Grant. 1t was a non partisan oya-
ton. There was no question of the col
onels personal popularity.
All agreed that as soon as he returns
from his sons wedding in Spain, Roose-
welt will resume his position as the DOM
inant factor in political affairs.
So far as the success of candidates
backed by the colonel; and whether he
will be willing to aid an amalgamation
of the Progressive and Republican par
ties, it is entirely matter OF opinion
where the political belief of the politi-
clan dominates the answer. Those Pro-
gressives who remained within the Re-
publican party and the radical element
of that organization are very hopeful.
They point to the fact that at all times
while here the colonel spoke in the high
est of the rank and file of Republicanism
as proof that he favors concerted action.
Progressives who left the Republican
party insisted that while Roosevelt
accepted Republican help in the coming
and subsequent campaigns
he would never permit the Republicans
to swallow the Progressive party. Old
line anti-Roosevelt Republicans smiled
and said nothing. With many party
principles count far more than men and
they are willing to wait and see without
taking any positive stand.
Therefore summed up in a sentence
the only effect apparent here after the
colonel's reception was an increase in
hopes or fears based entirely on the
political faith of the individual.

New Perfumes.

New Perfumes.
From across the seas comes any num-
Der of fascinating flower perfumes, as
well as generous sprinkling of the
spicy Oriental odors that suggest the
luxurious gardens of the far East.
Perhaps the most sought after of the
new perfumes are those that combine a
number of sweet scents in bouquet,
subtle but never blatant.
This dainty fragrance has been carried
out by the perfumer in all toilet necessi-
ties. 1t comes in small crystals for the
bath, in the form of sachets to be Sc
creted in lingerie and gowns, in toilet
waters, lotions, eau de cologne, powders,
soaps. and even brilliantine, so that the
same perfume scheme may be found in
all the preparations that adorn the toilet
table
Luxury loving folks know the delights
of the perfumed bath. but few of those
whose minds and bodies are bound by
the lethargy of fatigue realize its value
as tonic.
Every sweet odor is a certain but
harmless narcotic. Overwrought nerves
are soothed and tired minds are relieved
by the introduction of pleasant per-
fume into the bath. The result is con-
tentment and repose. Cases of acute in,
somnia have yielded to the lure of sweet
scent.
In these. combined with the invigorat-
ing OF the bath, is found the power to re.
fresh one enough to again find the inn
petus to go on either with the social or
necessary duties after the fatiguing
stress of the day.
To prepare the bath, see that the wa
ter is neither too warm or too cold, a
tepid water being the best. Into it drop
a tablespoonful of perfumed crystals,
violet, rose. lilac, or any desired odor.
When they have dissolved the bath is
ready.
A new idea is in the scented sachets
to be dropped into the water for bath
ing the face. Not only do these sachets
carry a refreshing fragrance, but they
contain ingredients designed to nourish
the skin, make it smooth and soft and
prevent wrinkles. Here is suggestion
as beneficial as il is beautiful. Small
wonder the perfumed baths have come
to be part of the daily routine of the
dainty woman.
OF course. if you are devoted to In
dividual perfumes, you have your toilet
waters, soaps, sachets. and bath crystals
all the same scent. To have a number
of perfumes struggling for prevalence is
the height of folly since none of them
are elusive or alluring under these con-
ditions. Find your favorite scent and
then adhere to it. This is the invariable
rule of the dainty woman who has all
her toilet accessories. even her poudre
de Riz, scented with her fayorite frag-
rance.
So many perfumes are wont to grow
stale after few hours that great care
should be exercised in the selection of
distinctive odor. This is especially true
of flower scents. Do not tolerate cheap
perfumes. They are direct offense
against the good taste, If you cannot
afford the better ones, eschew them en-
tirely and use only a sachet bag or two
TO impart the dainty fragrance you so
much desire.
