If you do where? Are you goirg to criticize the dressing, or are you going to take the chances of letting someone criticize your dressii.g? Thanksgiving day is the day of all the year when harmony should exist when cveiything should be right, nothing to mar. When in the eyes of our friends we should look our best. If there's a handsome tic in the dresser diawer, put it on if there isn't, GO TO KNAPP'S and get one. Get out your swellest shirt, and if it don't suit you, or you've worn it too many times, GO TO KNAPP'S and get one. Carefully examine your collars and culfs, be certain they are the ptoper thing, if not GO TO KNAPP'S and get some tnat are. Now bring out your suit look it over, see if the trous ers bag at the knees or are a little out of style ; hold your coat up and s;e if it shines across the back or it it is too long to be in fashion ; look the whole thing over and imagine in your mind just how you'll look to others. If there's a shadow of doubt arises GO TO KNAPP'S and buy either a $io, 12 or S15 suit. Then you will be right, How about your hat? Good dressers never wear a hat all out of style, or a golf cap and call themselves dressed up. Is your hat right? If not GO TO KNAPP'S and get a Dunlap hat, the best in the world. Last, but not least get out your overcoat ; see if it is what other good dressers are wearing ; see if the length is right and up to date. If not GO TO KNAPP'S and get one that is. Then go to dinner.

The joint tralllc association was formally dissolved last Saturday, Its action being tine to tho decision of the Supremo court to the effect that some of Its terms wero hi conflict, with the statute known as the Sherman anti-trust law. The report of O, II. Petkhis, tho state geologist, shows that over 12,000,000 Is Invested In Vermont quarries which had an output valued at $3,6U8,.1P9 In li07. Although Vermont Is one of the smallest states In area It stands lltst In the value of marble produced, second in slate and gran ite, ami third in the total of all quarry products, being surpassed by only Ohio and Pennsylvania. Over .1000 men are employed In the lti" quarries hi Vermont. Col. Clark, who commanded the 2d Mas sachusetts icglment at Santiago, has talk ed freely of the blunders thete since he was mustered out of the service. Ho says Gen, Shatter was not competent to manage the campaign. There were 10 pieces of artillery at Tampa and Shatter took 10 with which to invest Santiago. lie march ed unprotected Infantry up against fortifi cations without the support of artillery something unprecedented In military histo ry though he did not recognize what he had done until his troops were slaughtered. There were U000 mules at Tampa, but less than 500 were taken to Cuba. Twelve out of the 200 ambulances available wero taken. The medical supplies on the transports he never had lauded, although there was the most terrible need for them almost imme diately after. Regimental hospitals were abolished in the fighting before Santiago, there were no ambulances, and the men had to carry their comrades four or five miles in litters Improvised from blankets. The supplies, brought up at first by pack mules as was necessary and later, when the roads were put through, by wagons, did not reach the troops In sutllcient quan tities for the simple reason that there were not enough pack-mules and wagons. The result was that the men went on half ra tions. What Is Itrst for the Mule. The Montpelier Watchman returns to the insurance commissioner discussion with the claim that if a commissioner is appointed It will be necessary for the state to raise the salaries of tho state treasurer and the secretary of state. They receive $1700 each as a regular salary now. The Montpelier contemporary says they pay $700 to $1000 a year each for clerk litre, and that if stripped of the compen sation they recelvo from the insurance de partment the state must recompense them by a corresponding Increase of salary, and that the saving of $1500 which will come from appointing a commissioner will final ly be a deficit. Until within a few years the insurance Interests had little or no supervision In the state and tho secretary of state and state treasurer did not pocket tho fat insurance perquisites. There was no dltliculty then In securing competent men to fill these of fices at the regular salaries, and there would bo candidates galore without the Insurance fees as a special attraction. Mr. llacon, tho state treasurer, is said to receive a salary of $2 100 as cashier of a bank at White River Junction. His sal ary as state treasurer is 1700. As In surance commissioner ho gets over $2000. Hero is over $11000 In salaries, and In addi tion his bank hss the privilege of handling the state funds. Some cashier of a sound bank In Vermont could probably bo found to act as state treasurer without salary In order to get the state deposits. The' secretary of state will continue to carry on his profitable law business while drawing over $3700 from his ofiicial positions. Vermontcrs are paying $2,500,000 In In surance premiums annually. The stato might derive a larger revenue at a lesser expense by having this business handled by a special commissioner who would de- TOte his whole time to the business. This plan works satisfactorily in nearly every stato In the Union. The commissioner should be a man who Is an authority on all matters of insurance, who shall look close ly after the matter of taxation of com panies, and who shall protect the people from being defrauded by unreliable com' panles. The only question to be considered Is simply what is best for tho state treasury and for tho Interests of the people of the state, and not what Is best for certain of ficials. It Is to be noted that the men who have made a study of Insurance are very largely in favor of a change in Ver mont's present plan. Royal makes the food pure, wholesome and delicious.

Montpi;i.ii:ii, Vt., Nov. 8. The great topic of conversation so far this week has been the proposed Investiga tion of the expenses of state olllcers and state's attorneys, which was gotten fairly under way today when a joint resolution was adopted giving the committee power to sit during the sessions of the House and Senate and to call witnesses and to compel them to testify. The joint committee as finally made up Is composed of Senators I'latt, Young and Foss and Representatives Carpenter of Rutland, Ranney of Newport, Ballard of Georgia, Kastmau of Hartland and Reynolds of Swanton.

The legislature lias gone on record In favor of tho most pronounced imperialistic policy by adopting tho following resolu tion: "Whereas, the war of the United States against tho kingdom of Spln was waged in the cause of human liberty, and as tho fortunes of war have placed In our possession the Philippine islands with their millions of oppressed and misgoverned people, thereby Imposing upon the Ameri can nation the duty of protecting and con ferring upon them the blessings of peace and freedom; therefore be It resolved by the senate and house of representatives that, I 1 settling terms of peace with Spain, the United States ought to retain these Islands, and that the course of President McKhiley In demanding their retention of Spain, in the Paris conference, Is heartily approved." Tho woman suffrage bill was killed be yond resurrection last Friday. The Rutland-Canadian railway bill has been signed by Gov. Smith and Is a law. The business so far completed this week is mostly of a trivial nature, but the com mittees have been laboring with the im portant business of the session. The fish hatchery appropriation bill came up today as a special order, but the friends of the measure got it laid over to next week Wednesday because of the strong opposi tion. The senate has ordered to a third read Ins the bill creating tho office of attorney general and has passed the bill moving the shire of Essex county from Guildhall to Island Pond. The ollicers and men of the First Ver mont regiment of the war with Spain have presented Col. and Mrs. W. Seward Webb with a beautiful silver loving cup In ap preciation of what they did for the regi ment while the boys were In camp at Fort Ethan Allen and Chlckamauca. Col. Webb was called from his seat In the house Tuesday afternoon to the executive chamber, where the presentation was made by Col O.D.Clark. Only Gov. Smith, Gen. T. S. Peck, Gen. W. H. Oilman and Col. B. B. Smalley were present. Col. Webb was completely surprised by the gift. The cup is gold lined and was made at Tif fany's, New York. A caucus of the Democratic members of tho house Monday evening showed that there are two who will vote against license iu anv form.

The McGeary license bill was finally dis posed of this afternoon after a three hours' debate. It mti'tered just 00 votes of which 23 were Republicans and 37 were Democrats. The vote against the bill was 171 Including three Democrats. The bill came up as a special order this morning at 10:30 and Swasey of Barre, Harris of Ben nington and McGeary of Burlington made long and carefully prepared arguments In favor of the bill. Those who spoke iu op position to It wero Dunton of Poultney, Bond of Searsburs, Jackson of Waterville, Tlllotson of Bakersfleld, lUuncy of New port, Taft of Peacham, Choate of Barnet and Johnson of Lyndon. The usual noon tecess was taken for dinner In the midst of the debate and It was not until 3 o'clock that the "yeas" and "nays" were called and the bill burled. The Windham county members who voted for the bill were: Fames of Marlboro, George of Rockinsham, Johnson of Ver non, Tibbetts of Wardsboro and Tudor of Somerset. Brown of WhltlDgham, Demo crat, was not present and did not vote. Carpenter of Rutland and Richardson of St. Albans wero the only prominent Re publicans of the house who voted for the bill. The senate this morning passed the bill creating the ollice of attorney general after a lively debate. Senators Cndworth and Hitt both opposed the bill, but it was finally passed by a vote of 18 to 11. The house has today passed tho bill tax ing bicycles at 50 cents each per year, the proceeds to go for permanent roads. The house has also today ordered to a third reading the bill to elect town representa tives Ly plurality vote. Another bill or dered to a third reading is the one to pro vide for an official test of milk and cream at the state agricultural college. Ballard of Georgia today Introduced a bill threat ening with a fine of $200 or six months In the house of correction any state's attorney, grand juror, sheriff or justice of the peace who fails to prosecute or enforce the pro hibitory law. A resolution proposed by Abell of West Haven has been adopted directing the com mittee of investigation to find out If any stato officer or state's attorney lias violated the provision of the constitution which says that no money shall be drawn from the state treasury unless appropriated by the legislature. Behind In Its Work. The Llglslxture 1VI11 Have n Crnuil Scramble at (lie Fliilli-Co. operative lusurauce lllll Passed. MONTPELIER, NOV. 10. Nothing remarkable In the legislative line has occurred today but the legislature has kept plugging away at routine work and has disposed of a good bit of It. There Is need, enough, of more energetic work during tho coming 10 days and even then the session seems bound to end in a grand scramble on the morning before Thanks giving. Tho house Iu particular Is behind in Its work and In spite of Speaker Has klns's efforts Is Inclined to lag. The house today has passed the bill authorizing property owners in any town, or adjoining towns, to form cooperative In surance companies to Insure their own property on a mutual basis. Tho plan Is one followed with great success In New York state. The house has killed the bill providing for a completo geological survey of the state, and also the bill reducing the amount for which trustee process may be served from $10 to $5. Mr. Campbell's bill to allow the election of town representatives by plurality vote took several hundred dollars' worth of val uable time In the house for discussion this afternoon and was then laid over and made a special order for tomorrow at 11 o'clock. Mr. Delehanty's license bill, with a referen dum attachment, died without a struggle or a word In its favor this morning. Notes. The Morrisvllle-nydo Park boundary question has been settled amicably by agreement of the parties. Hyde Park gets NO. 46 what she wants and gives a slice of farm property In exchange. It has been suggested that in view of the largo amount of work befo'o the legis lature Gov. Smith might Issue his Thanks giving day proclamation for Dec. 1 instead of following tho President and having it the last Thursday in November. Tho governor has a perfect right to do so If ho thinks best. Tho railroad committees of the two houses have had a three nights' siege this week with tho Vlall hill to Incorporate tho Central Vermont railway company. Tho opposition to tho bill is from the unsecured creditors, who believe that they are to bo frozen out of their claims by tho proposed plan of reorganization, Tho champion of tho bill before the committees was C. N. Wilds of Mlddlebury, attorney for tho Grand Trunk railroad. Tho attorneys have succeeded In adding to the hazo of the general public In regard to the matter. The house has finally passed the bill to compel all railroads In the state to sell mileage books at two cents per mile. It Is reported unofficially, but probably from fact, that the railroad commission will bo made for the coming two years of Hon. D. J. Foster of Burlington, Senator Alfred E. Watson of Hartford, and John D. Miller of Walllngford. Mr. Miller Is tho only member of the present commis sion. The bill to prevent the dumping of saw dust In the west branch of the Deerfield river caused a long argument In the house yesterday afternoon. The bill was fa vored by Mr. Woodward of Langdon, Mr. Bond of Searsburg and Mr. Chapman of Windham and opposed by Mr. Davis of Dover. The bill finally passed. Tho bills to create a state Insurance de partment will be given a public hearing next Tuesday afternoon, after the adjourn ment of the two houses. Ex-Gov. Grout arrived at Montpelier last night. He has requested a hearing be fore the joint committee appointed to in vestigate the ofiicial expenses of the state officers. Gov. Grout said he did not be lieve there would be any trouble In ex plaining every Hem In question. The bill to establish an insurance com mission has been recommitted to a public hearing by the joint committee next Tues day afternoon. Insurance men and others who realize the Importance of the fro posed change ought to be present to give their arguments, and those unable to ap pear ought to bo heard through letters and petitions. Itiotiii at Wilmington, N. C. White .Men Attempt to Assert Their S11. premacy nuil Destroy tlfTlce of Xegro ."Vrispaper--Miootlnp In Streets Ite sulta In 11 Ileaths.MIIItla Ordered, Out. Six hundred citizens of Wilmington, N. C, held a mass meeting Wednesday "to as sert the supremacy of the white man," The resolutions recited the determination of the white men to forever rule the city, declared that white labor should be given the preference over colored labor, and called for the banishment of Alex Mauley, a negro newspaper publisher. The negroes not having complied with the demand to withdraw from their offices 000 men marched yesterday morning to the office of the Dally Record, the negro newspaper. All the material in the build ing was destroyed. The building took fire and was destroyed. An altercation in the third ward resulted in shooting, and three white men and three negroes were killed. Five other negroes were shot in other parts of the city. The mayor and aldermen resigned, and new city ollicers were at once elected. Their first act was to swear In 250 special policemen and to restore order. It was be lieved last night that order had been re stored, but three companies of the stato militia are on their way to the city. Lord .Salisbury's Threat to Kitrope. Lord Salisbury did not, as It was antici pated he would, announce a British pro tectorate over Egypt at tho Lord Mayor's bauquet In London Wednesday night, but he hinted that a protectorate would be proclaimed if Europe attempted to reopen the Egyptian question. He also declared that the United States was a new and seri ous factor In European politics, but not to the detriment of Great Britain. Major Marchand is about to return to Fashoda from Cairo for the purpose of withdrawing his expedition. Senator John M.
