the next few days. The figures are to
show. II Is said, an increase In net Of
$500, 900 or S75o.000 for the month. I'm
doubtedly there has been quite little
speculativ" buying Of New Haven on
the abrupt rise from 80 and a fraction
In the past few weeks. But the way
for this Improvement In price was al
ready prepared by absorption by strong
holders New Haven sells away from
steel common and the gap may be in
creased, but no one would be prepared
TO say that the former will resume divl-
dends before .he latter The fact IS
that. dividends or no dividends. New

In the sense that Il In held by the In

for ultimate profits Even when the

worst pass the amount OF New Haven

people who could not AFFORD 10 see the

the character OF tho market throughout

THE MEAD MEMORIAL CHAPEL.

itecture
The proposal of Ex-Governor John A.
Mead to erect chapel for Middlebury
in commemoratlon of the fiftieth ami
versary of his graduation present
ed difficult problem to the college.
Local influences called for something
different Gothic. or at least Ro-
manesque. The impossbility of
beautiful service" in structure of
New England type was urged strongly.
Photogra phs of many an imitation
cathedral on American campuses We're
pressed for consideration.
On the other hand, in his letter of
gift, Ex-Governor Mead had said, II
have in mind dignifed and substantial
structure, in harmony with the other
buildings OF the college, and expressive
of the simplicity and strength of char
acter for which the inhabitants of this
valley and the State of Vermont have
always been distinguished. He asked
that the chapel to bear his name might
rise from the highest point of the
campus, as symbol of the position,
most p, ointment in every respect, which
Christian character and religious faith
should always maintain in its work for
our youth.
The problem was submitted to Allen
& Collens, the architects, and they adj
vsedistrongly that Ex-Governor Mead's
suggestion of harmony with the other
buildings of the college" be strictly
followed They have designed a chapel
of the New England meeting house
type on the exterior all in white mar
BILE, but with a wooden spire. The in
terror. however, in order to recall the
more ecclesiastical effect of the Gothic
type will follow the colonial only in de-
tail. The wood work of the chancel.
ceiling and pews will all be birch,
stained dark color. By this means
the objection to the colonial has been
successfully met The chapel will oc-
cupy commanding location on the
grounds on the highest crest of the
campus, from which point there is a
wide panorama Of the Green Mountains
and the valley of Otter creek. On the
architrave over the colonnade will be
properly inscribed 'The Strength of the
Hills is His Also"
Work has been begun on the building
and it is hoped that by Commencement
time enough of the structure will be
completed to enable the alumni to Judge
of its final possibilities.

VERMONT CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.

RAILWAY DAY, FRIDAY, MAY Z, 1915.
In the Vermont Cleanup campaign
the first week of May the Greater
Vermont Association proposes Friday,
May Z, as Railway day on which citizens
and organizations and Cleanup com
mittees are requested to give special
attention to cleaning up properties
abutting on the railroads and to remov-
ing rubbish and disfgurements near the
railroad right of way which may spoil
Vermont views for the traveller. This
work ought to be done in the villages
and in the country if Vermonters are to
be loyal to the slogan: Vermont, as
perfect as Garden, as Beautiful as a
Park. -
The railroads will cooperate by
putting their men at work on the right
of way and devoting Friday, May 7, or
if something unforeseen should prevent
"a following day to clean up work on
their right of way The Greater YER
mont Association finds among all dis
position to work to make Vermont
immaculate, in a class by herself.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Fred w. Gordon, driver for E. E.
Wissel, the Middlebury coal dealer,
died Saturday night after the amputa-
ton of his left arm, which was made
necessary by an accident at the elevator
in the railroad yards. Mr. Gordon be-
came entanged in the machinery gears
40 or As feet above the floor. His arm
was lacerated to such an extent that
physicians decided on an immediate
operation, but the patient failed to
rally and died about clock.
The accident happened in the morn
ing, when Mr.. Gordon was alone at the
elevator with the exception of his son
and the bookkeeper. The machinery
was suddenly started and his coat sleeve
caught in the gears, his arm being
almost torn from his body.
Mr.. Gordon was SO years old, we'll
known in Middlebury a. a hard worker,
always pleasant and accommodating.
He is survived by his wife and nine
children, five sons and four daughters.
The boys are Charles, Samuel, Harry,
Leslie and Oliver of Middlebury and
the daughters, Mrs Frank Mayhem,
Mrs. Joseph Currier Of Cornwall, Mrs.
Clifford Anes of Orwell and Miss
Lillian Gordon of Middlebury.
The funeral was held at st Mary S

uation, be ''in harmony with the other
buildings of the college," This meant.
if literally followed, a church edifce
of strictly colonial type, hence typi-
cal New England meeting house"
This has not been accomplished it
may be said, without opposition.
There: were many graduates who
wanted something different. Even the
trustees were uncertain. Gratitude is
due to the firm of Boston architects to
whom the matter was submitted for
advising that Governor Mead's sug-
gestion be followed.
Middlebury, comparatively little
known outside its State, is a typical,
sterling New England institution.
For lis years it has done excellent
work and prospered, 1t has had a
building revival since the beginning of
this century, and has consistently fol-
lowed the colonial type of architecture.
This new chapel, built of Vermont mar
meeting will stand as one Of
the best examples of that sort of
building in the country. The graduates
of.mthat college will increasingly ap-
preciate their noble buildings, and this
in particular In these days when it is
considered inappropriate to build
churches of this type, unless possibly in
the country, this college sets an eX-
cellent example. Church architecture
of this sort will be praised by some
discerning generation long after it has
utterly tired of the sort of buildings
which are now being erected in the
striving to achieve something diff
ferent. -

Middlebury. We have latterly learned
to appreciate for its true worth the
colonial style of dwellings; one ought
to honor the equally distinctive old
fashioned church, many fine specimens
of which remain all through New
England. The style reproduced in
Middlebury has the broad flight of
steps, the classical columns, wide, high
porch and low gable of Greek temple,
and.also steeple of the Christopher
Wren order.
Without the steepe the building
would be classed with the excellent
examples of the coumnar which has
been copied in many American public
buildings of educational use, but it
would lose the meeting house charac-
ter. The building is to be of marble
and the steeple of wood. Whether or
not this diversity of material will APP
pear as well in being as on the drawing
board will have to be determined.
Not.all of the old meeting houses in
new England are talr TO look upon
Some achieve maximum of uglness,
but there are still hundreds of specimens
which suggest the style adopted for the
Mead Chapel.
The college group at Middlebury is
already characterized by purity of
architectural style, and the donor of
the chapel in making the gift of the
funds expressed the wish that the new
building should harmonic with the
olderlstructures President Thomas of
the college has remarked that the in
stitutionswas so fortunate as to have
had no funds for building in the seven
ties and eighties, when American archi-
lecture was in its barbaric stage, and
therefore escaped certain penalties of
collegiate afiiuence Those entrusted
with the chapel fund have found an
architect sympathizing with Governor
Mead's liking for harmonious group,
with the result of the definite adoption
of the colonial meeting house type.

Transcript

TIL rough the courtesy of the Boston
Transcript the Register is able to repro
duce a picture of the Mead Memorial
chapel and the following descriptive ar
ticle by President Thomas, which APP
peared in the Transcript April 8:
In a quiet, old.fashioned town on the
Champlain side of the Green Noun
tain State, just halfway between the
Massachusetts line and Canada, is
New England college with unique his
tory, which has preserved for over a CEN
fury consistent loyalty to the old New
England type of college architecture.
Founded in 1900, as the first institution
to begin college instruction in Vermont,
popular, democratic community enter
prise, entirely non-sectarian, Middle
bury College took possession of its first
permanent building just century ago.
1t was plain, but graceful and digni
fed, college hall, strictly Colonial in
type, not unlike Hollis and Stoughton
in the Harvard yard, but with an added
beauty from the gray limestone of
which it was constructed. 1t still
stands on the campus, fianked and
shaded by stately elms and naples.
During its hundred years of service it
has never been closed, and is still an i'm
portant element in the college plant
it has furnished students rooms, halls
for re citation, administrative offices,
and under the vigorous administration Of
Cyrus Hamlin it even housed the IL
brary and provided gymnasium.
Mddlebury has had checkered his
tory, with more ups and downs than
most New England institutions. Dur
ing th9 first forty years it was easily
the leading college in Vermont, and in
that period graduated nearly twice the
number of its neighbor, the University
of Vermont at Burlington. One year its
senior class exceeded that of Harvard,
and in 1877 Middlebury's president,
Henry Davis, declined a call to Yale
because of the larger opportunity he
believed the Vermont institution afford
ed him. Just before the turn of the
half-century fortune was not so kindly,
and the college was just beginning to
recover when the Civil War nearly
emptied both its halls and its treasury.
New buildings were few and far be-
tween, but the chapel" chiefly reci-
tation hall, completed in 1886, ranks
well with the earlier structure S one
of the best examples of Colonial archi-
ture in New England. Starr Hall, erect
ed in 1861, is a bit more crude, but
harmonizes well with the other struc-
lures and completes a college crow, a"
which is still the fairest part of the
campus.
Perhaps it was fortunate that Middle
bury had no building fund in the '7Os
and sos, the barbaric period in American
college architecture. The next build
ing did not come until 1900, library of
classic outline, built of clear white mar
BILE from the famous quarries of the
vicinity. The same style and material
were followed in the Warner Science
Hall in 1902 Middlebury has had a
building revival since 1908, and four
large buildings have followed each other
in rapid succession, all in Colonial arch

HOLDING HOME TRADE.

Some sensible observa tions on mail
order competition are reproduced from
the Rutland Herald in another column.
The suggestions apply to Middlebury as
well as to Rutland, and the implication
that trade can be kept at home chiefly
by proving that it pays to patronize the
local merchant, rather than by appeal
to local patriotism and loyalty, is un-
doubtedly sound Almost every one is
willing to give his home merchant the
first chance, and it is then the business
of the local store to show that it can
supply better value for less money.
The Herald suggestion of remedy
is timely, truthful and attractive local
advertising Study of the business
columns of the Register leads to the con-
clusion that Addison County merchants
are putting brains into their newspaper
space. One does not find notices of fly
paper in February or horse blankets in
August very often.

Middlebury College, and the decision to
make use of the old New England
Meeting House as a model has brought
forth some very favorable notices. The
Evening Bulletin, Providence, X. l.,
suggests that the Middlebury chapel
may mark renaissance in church
architecture. The editorial is as fol-

RENAISSANCE OF THE MEETING HOUSE.
A tribute to the architecture of a
hundred or more years ago in New
England is paid by the decision that
the Governor John A. Mead chapel at
Middlebury College, Vermont. shall be
after the style of the early New
England meeting house. This decision
may mark New England renaissance
in church architecture. There is moth
ing more clearly characteristic of time
and place than the type of church
