FORMER GERMAN
EMPRESS DIED
THIS morning
BEEN ILL FOR MONTHS
Death Occurred at Doom, Hol-
land, Where Former Emper-
or William and His Wife
Had Lived Since November,
1918. Her Health Was the
Cause of Concern
BEEN ILL FOR MONTHS

Doom, Holland, April 11.-For-
mer Empress Augusta Victoria died
here at 6 O'Clock this morning. By
a strange coincidence the end came
just one year after she suffered her
first serious heart attack.
The former Emperor William and
Prince Eidlebert were at the bedside
when the end came. They had been
called by DR.. Hasener who attended
the former empress throughout her
residence in Holland. The death came
as a shock to the dwe1lers in Doom
Castle as last week the patients con-
dition was much improved.
Last night the patient was only
semi-conscious. She was kept from
suffering by frequent hypodermic in
jections but her breathing appeared
to become more difficult.
As the day broke breathing became
more and more difficult. 1t was then
evident to the physicians that the end
was near and DR.. Hasener warned the
former Emperor of it's approach. The
Ex-Empress became unconscious and
her breathing became fainter until
at O'Clock the end came.
The ex-Emperor stayed at the bed
side with bent head as death came
to his consort mad he remained for
sometime afterwards.
Collapse of the Central Powers and
the vicissitudes of war that drove
former Emperor William of Ger
many and his consort to practical
exile in Holland in November 1918
was the lowering Of the curtain in
the life of the once beautiful EN-
press and Queen of Prussia, Augusta
Victoria who, for nearly 40 years
had been the most beloved hausfrau
of the German people. In the Meth.
erlands, where she and her husband
resided first at Amerongen and theT
at Doom, the former Kaiserin's s Ions
continued illness was made more
grave by her yearning to return to
Berlin and Potsdam. On several oc
casions, since her residence in Hol
! land members of her family had beer
summoned to her bedside in anticic
ipation of her death, but she rallied
and survived.
The ex-Empress'- gravest cloud
next to the abdication of William II
was the tragic death of her son
Prince Joachim, who committed sui
eide by shooting himself in Berlin
in 1920. She was never informed. i

PLANT WAS BURNED
SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT
The Loss on the Building is
Around $175,OOO With Only
$1,000 Insurance on Same.
100000 Pounds of Tobacco
in This Building Destroyed
With $4,000 Insurance.
SATURDAY AT MIDNIGHT

One of the largest fires that Wilson
has had for a number of years oc-
Cured Saturday night about mid
night when the redrying plant of
the Wilson Tobacco Company located
on the Coast Line railroad in this
city went up in smoke and with 1t
around 400 hogsheads of tobacco
containing about 100000 pounds OF
i the weed were also consumed.
The plant was one of the largest
in the state, and the best equipped. 1t
| contained twelve stemming ma
| chimes, and one of these was the larg-
est in the country. AS result of the
| fire $50 people are out of work.
The building was valued with it's
\ fixtures at 1000, and there was
| only $4,000 insurance on same. On
the tobacco contained in this building
400 hogsheads either in hogsheads or
being worked, there was $4,000 of
insurance The large storage ware
house at the rear of the redrying
plant was not damaged at all and the
100000 pounds of tobacco contain
ed in this building was not damaged
! in the least. This building was used
by the Wilson Tobacco Company as a
storage house, and by Messrs. An
derson and Whitehead and w. T..
Lee. We are requested to state by
Messrs. King and Schaum of the Will
4
Istill in business and that their stor-
age warehouse which contained the
| bulk of theiE-tobacco is intact and
the tobacco contained there is not
| damaged in the least
/ The fire was first discovered about
l11:3O and burned fiercely- The low
er floors of the five story building
were of brick while the upper stories
were of wood. But for this fact the
| fire would have swept the entire
front along the railroad and consum-
ed a storage warehouse belonging to
the American Tobacco Company, and
most likely the plant of the Standard
Oil'Company alongside.
l
ection and the efforts of the fireme
saved these buildings. The heat was
great, but in the face of the roaring
flames. they stood on the roof of the
storage warehouse of the American
Tobacco Company and fought the fire
which was stopped after it had con-
sumed the copper shop adjoining the
redrying plant on the south of that
building. Rocky Mount was called on
for assistance, and the firemen frOIl
that place came over in very short
origin of the fire is unknown but is
believed to have originated in the
engine room. 1t was two o'clock be-
fore the fire was under control, and
continued to blaze all during yester-
day in the brick walls of the redrying
: plant with streams of water constant-
{ ly playing on it. The big brick stor-
age warehouse of the company ar
rested the flames on the east side. Il
this had been destroyed there is nc
telling where it would have stopped

Protecting the Ferns.

(''The Nomad' in Boston Transcript
About the last thing that native Yer
monter could not be expected TO worry
about would be the determination of the
ferns OF his state, and vet that is a subject
which has begun to concern the nature
lovers in the Green Mountain state. \
kindly society has taken UP the matter.
and is talking of legislation to prevent the
ravaging of the native wood ferns garden.
As usual, 1T is the automobile that is do
ing the mischief. People come into the
little state OF the green hills in motor cars,
and simply load up their vehicles with
masses of maiden hair, royal ferns and
other varieties that are relatively scarce
SO that where lately there were lovely car
petingS of the ferns, there is now but
baroness and desOlation. Such ravaging
is most reprehensible, and yet the Nomad
does not apprehend an determination of
even one variety Of fern in Vermont as
consequence. lie knows of too many
places where the fern abounds where am
automobile could no more get than il could
get to the moon. But the country people
themselves cannot be relied upon to pro-
tect their ferns, bacause they have no
sense of their beauty or value. All ferns
are just plain brakes to them, of no
earthly account whatever. Yet who that
has any artistic perspective can be igno-
rant of the beauty of the native ferns of
northern New England What scene so
full of delicate beauty as a mountain cas-
cade in the midst of the woods, framed in
maiden hair, with masses of royal ferns

of the ferns possesses, and the unfolding
of their curled fronds in spring? What

masses, and what a satisfying wOodSy fra

Business and Politics.

John Spargo of Bennington says: II

unmeasured pity. He is poverty srrick-
en- intellectually morally and spiritual
~" 4 great waste of pity, because if
Mr. Ford is as Mr.. SpargO says he will

tleboro Reformer.
\ year or two ago ono of the great po-
litical parties nominated Henry Ford
for the United States senate. Forum
ately. he was beaten at the polls, but ev-
cry once in a while we hear people la
menting that the country and state do
not elect our ablcSt business men to Of
fee. Thank Heaven the voters general
" refuse to do it and continue TO elect
the politicians. When the choice lies
between strictly a business man and a
politician the politician is usually
preferable. The business man who has
devoted his life TO the problems of bust
ness is generally a misfortune and some
times a menace in office. Whatever the
faults of the politician he knows that he
has the public TO deal with and is COM
monty qualified to use tact, adjustment
and compromise in dealing with public
affairs. All people ought 10 be politi-
clans, at least to the extent of taking
a keen interest in public and govern
ment matters. Unfortunately the keen
est and ablest business men too often
take no interest whatever in these things
until they touch his particular line of
business. Then when one of these alb
sOrbed business men gets elected or APP
pointed to Office he tries to manage the
affairs of the public just as he did his
own private business and it doesn't
work. Governor James HartnesS is one
of the great business men of Vermont
and is working hard to give the state
creditable administration but. without
knowing anything about il. The Ban
ner believes that he wishes now that he
had served a term or two in the legisla-
ture before he went to the state house
as governor and that he had been able
to give little more time to politics and
public affairs. The best public servants
are most likely TO be business men who
are also politicians and the second choice
is a politician who has gained a stand
ing as a business man. The professional
politician who has never done much else
il poor public risk because he is com
monty greedy, selfish and unscrupulous
but, at that, the fact that he is driven
to plan for the future and try to main
tain his hold, renders it probable that he
will do better than the absorbed business
man who knows and thinks nothing but |
business.

On the TobOggan Slide.

NA''AA lAltNtpAt + ftt 1It.SS.I
Anyone who has had an opportunity
to suage legislative sentiment at Mont
peiier has discovered that the bin for
the restoration of the two obsolete nor
mai schools Is on the toboggan slide and
II is doubtful whether any revising or re-
Vamping or resuscitation, as Is proposed.
can save it. The present bill collapses
through inherent structural weakness.
1t stealthily attacks the teacher training
classes, to which the old normal school
forces have in reality always been OBJ
posed, but which are the only assurances
of supply of trained teachers for the
rural schools. The bill forms a headess
and irresponsible organization which ex-
lists on paper only. The measure is re-
dictionary in the one endeavor in which
the state should be most progressive:
and II provides for the reSuscitation of
two sickly institutions which can never
vigorously or profitably function in the
state as their buildings, equipment and
training facilities are too poor and too
few to attract girls who desire even fair
opportunities in order that they NAV be
we'll trained for teaching and recognized
as such. Meanwhile the people are de-
handing real help for the rural people
Of Vermont
