A fish and game warden in Vergennes
arrested a New York doctor and an Indi

out of season. The Sees and costs
amounted to $28.17 each. This warden is
no respecter of persons.
The long continued drought has caused
general lamentation in both Vermont and
New Hampshire. Exacting water com
missioners have prohibited baths and the
sprinkling ot lawns, but the suffering of the
rest of the world seems to be small when
compared with what Castleton is enduring.
Says an exchange: "The other day a far

drink and they imbibed so much that 17 of
them died and the other three were killed,
as it was feared they would succumb sooner
or later."
Mrs. Mary Lease of Nebraska fame was
the attraction at Lake Pleasant Sunrlay.
She was interviewed by a reporter Satur
day and stated that she is planning to
stump the country next year to help beat
Bryan. He is pretty sure to be nominated,
she says, but he cannot possibly be elected.
He has always been a follower and never a
leader, and his cowardly compromises to
meet the views of the ignorant will be as
ineffective as was Ingall's death-bed speech
in the Senate in behalf of populism. Bry
an has made a fatal mistake, she says, in
insisting on silver as the leading issue.
Another mistake is his response to popular
predjudices against the trusts.
Hark, a voice from the tomb! "The
most difficult problems that have arisen in
American statesmanship since the Civil
War are upon us, and imperatively demand
the profoundest thought of our ripest, most
prudent, experienced and sagacious men
This great work must and will be done un
der the leadership of the Republican party.
The tremendous development of our mate
rial prosperity, now at least realized, must
not be arrested." This is from a letter
penned and distributed by Henry W. Blair
for the amusement and profit of the people
of New Hampshire. Henry W. intimates
I that he is the man, "prudent, experienced
and sagacious," and that the voters of the
Granite state will not shoot wide of the
mark if they elect him successor to Senator
Chandler. Chandler was never troubled
with an over-supply of modesty, but in
egotism and self-esteem he is easily out
classed by Henry W.

ing bim up to ridicule. If this is the object
the efforts so far have been lamentable
failures. The editorial Philippics have
lacked both point and sense, and have not
even had the redeeming feature of being
funny. The Montpelier Argus and Patriot
hits the rail fairly on the head when it says.
'The Rutland Herald makes a big mistake
if it believes that the people of Vermont
will not resent it efforts to traduce the
character of Ex Gov. Page. The people
know that he was never the tool of any

Riots m Paris.
Three hundred and eighty injured, three
hundred and fixty taken to hospitals,
fifty-nine police wounded, one hundn d and
fifty arrested, this was the record in Paris
Sunday. In Paris there is always com
bustible mater-al, and anarchy and atheism
go hand in hand. A Parisian mob rever
ences neither church nor God, and the
holier the object the more it burns- to
stretch out its destroying and polluting
hand. The entire Christian world reads
with a shudder of the pillage and sacrilege
ot last Sunday. Here is a short account ot
an attack on one of the churches which
shows to what lenghts a Parisian mob will
go.
Hatchets were suddenly produced
with long knives stolen from the counters
of shops, and a concerted rush was made
upon the church ot bt. Joseph.
The aged sacristars, seeing ' the mob,
hastily closed the ou'er gates, but these
were soon forced with hatchets ard bars of
iron. The massive oaken doors were then
attacked.
Altars, fonts and statues were burled to
the floor and smashed, pictures were rent ;
candle sticks, ornaments and hosts from
high altars were thrown and trampled un
der toot. . The crucifix above was made a
target for missiles and the figure of the
Savior was fractured in several places.
Then, while raucous voices sang the
"Carmagnole" the chairs were carried out
side, piled up and set on fire in the centre
of the cquare fronting the church.
w hen this stage was reached the cruci
fix was pulled down and thrown into the
flames. Suddenly a cry wag raised that
the statue of the virgin had been forgotten,
and the crowd returned and tore this down
also.

The game Saturday was devoid of any
special feature, except its onesidedness.
Bellows Kalis had a erood team, dui us
asitnpu in nnt nlavin? together.
The home Wra is almost perfect in this re
spect and gives the battery pertect support
ill the time. The out held, Hinckie, uus
ham and Odette, did their duty, each pul
ling down two baggers. The fine infield
ing of Dusham the entire season is worthy
of more than passing notice. He knows
where the ball is all the time and Saturday
made two baggers. Reynolds, S earns
and Stiles, with the battery, Richmond and
Wallace, complete the team which is being
tound htrd to beat.
