1t remained for Mr.. Edmondson to
take a few good-natured jabs at the
members of the medical profession,
however. ana he declared that he
had seen evidences of the excellent
work Of these people before the COM

referred to little girl who had been
suffering from infantile paralysis who
had been absolutely cured when dis
tinguished surgeons in this city had
put her in cement cast and pro-
nounced her absolutely hopeless.
That child, he declared. could now
walk and play like other children.
He cited another instance of man
who had been deaf whose cure was
none the less remarkable.
Mr.. Crockett opposed the bill. as
did also Mr.. Gravatt. Both of them
are recognized as physicians and
surgeons of note and ability. DR.
Grayatt declared that chiropracticc

Senator Hart of Roanoke opposed
the bill under consideration. He
was one that could not be eliminated,
and it's regulation was more desirable.
He declared that If he could by the
ware of a word wipe out the evil he
would be glad TO do SO. He said he
had read in Des Moines nswspa pers
that conditions were worse there than

could not vouch for the correctness OF
the reports, for he knew that some

Senator Mapp said the lows on the
books today are ample. but Tor some
reason he did not know why the Off
GERS of the law suffered the provisions
or the law TO be violated, but the
laws were being violated in every
city in the State. Segregation IS an
advertisement OF the fact that there
is district which is a fostering sore
where disease and death stalked night
and day.

other cities and to refute the claim

PROBATION REWARDED.

The fire drill is no longer to be scoffed
at by anyone following the escape OF
over 200 girls from a Wellesley college
building in the early hours of morning
without mishap to a single person and
without panic being caused in the
stress of great excitement. The dean
of the college, in commenting on the
fire of Tuesday morning, asserted that
the fire drill had been regularly prac-
ticed by the girls living in the dormitory
and at all hours of the day and night,
even in the dead of night, and conse-
quently the girls knew just what was
expected of them when the fire gongs
rang through the great building at 1870
on Tuesday morning. They left their
rooms and stood in the hall just outside
their own doors until all had been mar
shaled, as the college authorities sup
posed, and when the line was thought to
be complete the girls filed out of the
building as the names were checked off
the roll of the known occupants of the
DullulHB. Dul lHtIl, IL was lOuIu lIldJ d
few of the occupants of the building
had not been reused, and, Immediately
and without undue excitement, a few
college officers rushed back into the
building and routed out those remain
ing. Even with this delay the building
was entirely vacated in two and one
h If minutes, according to the estimates
of those in charge of the orderly leav-
ing. 1t was remarkable tribute to
the efficiency of the fire drill and it
proved beyond per-adventure that the
frequent use of the fire drill is a most
important factor in safeguarding the
lives of the occupants of large buildings
like dormitories. The satisfactory re-
suits of the Wellesley demonstration
should encourage to further and more
persistent adherence to this system. -

Vermonters Dine at Brooklyn Inr

Brooklyn, March q. Vermont moved
into Brooklyn for few hours last
night, while the native sons and daugh-
tiers of the Green Mountain State en-
joyed their annual reception, banquet
and dance at the Hotel st. George.
Governor Fletcher was the guest of
honor, and another guest was Martin F.
Douglas of Greensboro, N. c., grandson
of Stephen A. Douglas.
The real old fashioned "hit of the
evening"" according to the Brooklyn
Eagles report, was Congressman Frank
l.. Greene. His speech was couched in
beautifully homespun terms as he re-
ferred to his State as cold Mother
Vermont and told of her prowess and
her silence about it.
"Old Mother Vermont" he'sad, "sits
quietly by, baking bread or trying to
stop the cat from playing with her
knitting ball, while the State becomes
the greatest producer of tobacco per
acre, owns the largest percentage of
school attendance and the smallest illit-
eracy in the Union. She doesn't get up
and go down to the Village to meet the
neighbors to tell them about it, but
stays at home.
"If they visit her, she takes them to
the kitchen and they talk to her while
she bakes the days batch of bread. If
they don't like that, then they don t
visit. That's Old Mother Vermont.
We do things, but we don't talk about
what we do"

gendered in his Juliet a deeper emo
ton than that which stirred me on
those occasions. President Eliot in his

An effort has been made in New
York state to send some of the unem-
ployed to farms, that they may find
work there. The season for farm activ
ity is opening and, it is said, that the
farmers need help and are unable to
find it. A whole car load of unemploy-
ed was sent from the city to one coun-
try town and the result was not eX-
actly what it might have been ex-
pected. Only about half of the con-
signment of 40 men were able to make
terms with the farmers. The others
did not appear to want to work. One
man declared that he was unable to get
up earlier than O'Clock in the morn
ing. Another man, who had been a
tailor, and had never so much as seen
live hen or cow, was willing to go to
work on farm for $50 month, pro-
vided he was treated gently. He was,
of course, to get his keep in addition to
the money. No farmer seemed to think
that he was of sufficient promise upon
such terms. One great. trouble with
the unemployed is that a great many
of them are unemployable. Many of
the unemployed are the tag-ends of our
civilization, and it is almost impossible
to say what to do with such. Boston

merely word of timely warning in safe
guarding property where the protection
from fire is not so good as it is in the
cities and villages. Moreover, if the
equipping of practically every farm
house with these hand extingushers
would result in reducing the annual ash
heap, possibly it might in due season
mean greater relief to such property
owners as regards rates and volume of
insurance allowed to be carried. In any
event, the greater safety of property
should be a sufficiently powerful actual
ing influence to induce farmers thus to
equip themselves. Barre Times.
