TRESPASSING ON RAILROAD
TRACKS.
Rutland News.

For the thousandth time, probably,
the Vermont newspapers are moralizing
on the danger and folly of using the
railroad tracks as public way, in view
of the death by train of Rutland
man. 1t seems almost futile to reprint
these warnings against this practice.
The railroad companies themselves are
doing everything within human power
to break people of this foolish habit,
but their efforts seem unavaling. 1t
ought not to be necessary for the rail-
roads to enclose their tracks with I'M
scaleable fences to prevent these
fatalities. Perhaps if the custom pre-
vailed of arresting and Furnishing peo-
Pile who trespass on railroad rights of
way, it might accomplish a diminution
of accidents of this kind.

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS,
st. Adams Messenger

Many of the papers around the State
are commenting most favorably on the
record the school boys and girls of this
city have made in the way of de-
posts in the school bank, 1t is point
ed out that it is an example that is
worthy Of imitation elsewhere, Which
is true, and it is also true that st. Al
bans school children should strive
always to stand as an example Of thrift
for the other communities in the State,
The lesson of systematic saving that
the school bank idea gives to those in
the formative period of life is of far
greater value than the mere dollars and
cents that will be accumulated by each
boy or girl, for it paves the way for
thrift when the years of earning capac.
ity are reached, and thrift then means
comfortable and secure old age.
Learning to save while in school will be
the basis of more than one substantial
fortune in the years to come.

TRUE PATRIOTISM.

In may be appropriate to pause here
and ask, what is true patriotism? This
question has been ably answered in the
following words sent to the editor by
Mrs. Mary Sherman Mead, wife of Ex-
Governor Mead, who is President of the
National Society of Colonial Danes of
America.
Patriotism denotes first of all love of
country, Lives there the man with soul
so dead, who never to himsels has said,
this is my own my native land" True
patriotism means doing the greatest
good to the greatest number. 1t does
not always signify a military defence
only, though that is essential when our
beloved country is threatened by foes
within and foes without, but stands
also for moral fortitude in temperance,
in politics, in everything for the uplift
of the inhabitants of our State and

MARSH o. PERKINS.
Bennington Banner.

In the death of Marsh O. Perkins of
Windsor the State of Vermont looses a
widely known citizen and the Masonic
fraternity one of its most prominent
members. He was born in Rutland,
was educated in the public schools of
that city and graduated from Middle
bury college in the class of 1870. He
adopted the profession of teaching and
was principle of the Woodstock
academy and the Windsor high school.
In 1870 he became editor of the Windsor
Journal, position he held for a num-
Der of years. While not a prolific
writer the editorial columns of YER
mont's oldest newspaper during the
period in which he conducted the publ
cation contained many productions that
were not only original but which were
written in pleasing, genial style
characteristic of the man.

fifteen years, met death Monday morn
ing by accidental asphyxiation in the
Carpenter-Perley market, which is
located in the Ryrnes block at the cor
ner of Pearl and Pine streets. He was
discovered by customer, who went to
the market to buy fish. Mr.. Hall has for
years boarded with Charles Beauchemin,
jr., of Park street and arose in his usual
health Monday morning and after eat
ing breakfast went to the market, which
he opened. He was seen sweeping the
place out at about eight o clock by those
employed in the Kelly grocery store, next
door, and was not seen after that until
he was found dead on the floor of the
Office at the back of the market.

WILLIS N. CADY.

The appointment by State Com

to be exceedingly well received by the
members of the Vermont Grange,

by the present commissioner, will be
promoted efficiently in Addison county

TEAM PLUNGES DOWN LEDGE.
Miss Isabel Hicks, school teacher
at Readsboro, narrowly escaped death
recently under sensational circum-
stances. She was returning from
her days work in cutter driven by
Mr.. Day. Their route was along a
half broken road. In one of the bad
places the horse slipped and was
pitched down steep ledge, landing in
a tree many feet below. Miss Hicks
jumped from the cutter just in time to
avoid a plunge to the bottom of the
cliff, but Mr.. Day, the driver, was not
so fortunate. He kept hold of the
reins and went over with the sleigh to
the bottom, but escaped serious injury.
Help was secured and the horse was
extricated from the tree into which it
had fallen but died an hour after reach
ing the stable.

FISHING SHANTIES LOOTED.
Thieves are evidently at work in the
camps Of Shelbune bay and have car
ried their operations into the fishing
shanties that are being placed on the
ice near the shores of that bay. Bert
Williams and Edward Spaulding found
Monday that their shanty had been
opened, the things that were in it taken
and an array of articles left, which
would indicate that the breakers had
been living there. Barton's camp,
situated on the east shore Of Shelburne

entered and from all appearances the
thieves used the place to live in for a
time.

RAILROAD TRACKS AS FOOT

Violent deaths resultant from using
the railroad tracks as footpaths are by
no means peculiar to Vermont, although
it happens that two boys killed on the
railroad right of way between Science
tady and Albany last week had only re-
Gently left this State to find employ
ment in that vicinity. Probably the
percentage per population of deaths
from this cause in Vermont is no higher
than in other States. Therefore, the
need of education, or ordinary common

DEATH FROM STRANGE MALADY

Barbara Human Lawrence, two years
and ten months old daughter of DR.. and
Mrs. Harry H. Lawrence of Putney,
died Monday night after an illness of
over month. For three weeks the
child has been unconscious but every
thing that medical science could suggest
has been done in an effort to save the
life of the child. Acid poisoning of some
nature, which resembled closely the
fatal cases of acidoss in Boston re-
Gently, was the cause of illness. After
the system had expelled much of the
acid matter the fever, which was always
present, appeared not to be symptom
attic of any specific condition.
