Montpeller, Sept. 20. Much to tho delight
of his parishioners, tho Hew J. Edward
Wright announced this morning tho with
drawal of his resignation as pastor the
Church of tho Messiah. Mr. Wright re
signed several weeks ago tho pastornto
that he has so successfully nnd satisfac
torily tilled for l years and nsked that
he be relieved. Octolicr 1. Strong efforts
have since been made to Induce him to
reconsider and withdraw this resignation,
lie announced to-day that ho had been
led to see that Mo would be unwarrantiil
lit longer holding out against what seems
the universal desire of the members of
his church and congregation.
Mr. Wright will be given an assistant
to relieve him of much drudgery and fill
some If not all of his outside appointments.
Mr. Wright's decision Is hailed with
delight by the people of Montpeller out
side the Church of the Messiah, mnliy
of whom aie bounil to him by strong ties.
The prospect of a severing of these life
time ties and associations was not pleasant.
EDUCATION IN JAPAN.
If you can imagine a long room in a
long hnue with a thatilud roof, dark
plastered wells, broad doorways closed
with piper-covered latticed frames which
slide in grooves hare Moors covered with
jx'rf-cl fitting straw mats, some tiny
tables one b two feet lu size nnd eight
Inches high. If you enn Imagine this,
then vou cm conceive of an ancient
iiiool-i iim in Japan.
Again. If you tan Imagine a patriarchal
old gentleman, with a sparse beard, a
head half ha Id, a small tnlg of hair
tinned hack on the top of his head, then
coated on a little "iihlon behind one of
the tlnv tables on which Is a Mat stone
Inkstand, a manuscript school-bonk and a
long bamboo pencil at one cud of which
Is n fine-pointed brush for writing: then
think of some tiny children. a half
dozen probably the boys' heads shaved,
except for a circular bunch of hair ex
actly at the crown, the girls with long
tassels of straight black hair hanging
In front of each ear, all dressed In llttlo
flowing garments with sleeves like tho
wings uf bird". these children silting be
hind otbi r little tables, their brushes In
hand, ind writing, from the teacher's
dlctnti 'ii. stiangc shaped i haraclers on
i oarse enpy-bonks. imagine this, and you
have an ancient Japanese school In ses
sion, both teacher and pupils sitting upon
the floor.
They ne er went beyond reading and
eountlnu upon the soro-ban (abacus).
ThitiL's liave changed now. The old has
utterly passed away. A most elliclcnt
educational system, western in theory and
Practice, is now in full operation through
out Japan. f,nmniodlnus common school
houses, and Imposing college and uni
versity buildings are dotted all over the
country. A thoroughly graded system
operates from the primary school to the.
Imperial university, which ranks with
the highest American institutions. The
iifltci.il or government schools are worked
out te cover the whole Held of education
"xcept the religious features, and this
they are endeavoring to supply by an
eclectic system of morality, both Oriental
nnd Occidental.
Itesldes the regular course, which ex
tends from tho common school through
thu high common school, the middle
schcol, the high school, to the university,
there are government te-'linlcal schools
for every branch of trade and the professions,-commercial,
army, navy, agri
cultuie, textile, mechanics, law, medicine,
normal, language, etc.
The government maintains a special
school for the teaching of every meidern
Inngtiage of ImportanceEnglish, Trench,
Ciermnn, Russian. Spanish, Itnllan
Chinese and Korean, nut the English
language precedes all other languu'ies.
and it Is making such rapid progress that
it is destined to become tho spoken lan
guage of the nation.
One sciiuus criticism against Japan's
educational system 11 that it discourages
private si liools. Pupils of prhate schools
of eiiiial grade and efficiency with the
government schools cannot pass on to tho
upper olllclnl schools witli tho same facil
ity ns pupils of the government schools,
When we remember that the government
schools are not free schools, and that
many excellent private schools supported
by foreign capital give students an edu
cation practically free, this discrimina
tion of tlio government would seem un
wise, 'uul it Is likely to be eon ei ted In
the near luture.
The Ameilcan nation should be espec
ially proud of Japan's educational re.
cold, since It is from America that Japan
has taken her lessons In Western learn
ingHarper's Weekly.
THE DORMANT PAI1ENTAE CON
SCIENCE. Indirectly, tho churches will do much
to amend the present deficiencies If they
can awaken tho dormant parental con
science. Slneo biblical, and even since
J'urltan times there has been a mani
fest decay, among heads or families, of
the sense of responsibility in splillii.il
matters. First the father transferred
hl own share of patental duty to tho
mother, and in many cases it has after
wards been passed over en hloc to nn
outsider. In England one of the most
lamentable features or the present edu
cational controversy Is the suspicion of
Inslncerelty in the arguments of so many
Engllcal clergy and country sipilres who,
whllo anxious that tho children of the
poor should have the privilege of a full
Christian education, send their own suns
Uf) to Oxford nnd Cambridge In a con
dition of amazing Ignorance respecting
the main events of scripture history:
and the similar Inconsistency of so
many well-to-do Nonconformists who,
whllo loud In their protests against tho
exposure of the cottagers tiuuilv to
ultra-eccloslastical Influences, allow
their own boys and girls to obtain much
of their religious training ftom Anglican,
and even Unman Catholic sources. In
America no less mischief Is done to tbn
spread of true religion by the spectacle
of the church member who demands that
the Statu shall set up in every school
house a light that has not yet been
kindled within his own home. Herbert

WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS SAY
I'nrt I'lnjeil by iho Heeonil-ClnsH 1.1
ccnics In tlic- Present Situation.
(From the Itandolph Herald.)
From tho fact that much of the uvll
flowing from local option Is traceable to
the second;class license, somo of tho news
papers base nn urgumont against a sys
tem of Stato control. They allcgo that
selling by tho bottle to bo taken away
Is more productive of drunkenness than
serving by the glass to bo drunk on tho
pi cruises. They maintain that more cases
of Intoxication come from second-class
stores than from saloons. They ato pro
bably correct In this, but such a premise,
klocs not lend one to tho conclusion
that If all selling were done by persons
who were not pecuniarily Interested In
Increasing their sales the samo or worse
results would follow. The patron of tho
secoiid-clnss stole who Is now heard from
in the police court Is also commonly a
patron of tho llrst-class store. Ho hoists
In about all he enn carry there nnd then
winds up on a bottle procured at tho
other place. Tho combination does not
work well. A single source of supply
could regulate the. amount dispensed much
better. It will not for n moment bo
conceded that a man whose prollts de
pend on the amount he sells, either by
the bottle or glass, will bo as discreet
as one who Is paid for his time only
and whose Interests He rather In dis
pensing the minimum, Instead of the
maximum, amount, The second-class
store under the existing law cannot be
made to serve as a "horrible example"
of what a Stato dispensary would be
under public control. A much better
parallel was the well-conducted agency
"under the prohibitory law, which, in
spile of the general abuse of the theory
hack of It, was really responsible1 for
very lltle drunkenness. The tlnaneial
scandals that brought the agency sys
tem Into disrepute were the direct pro
duct of divided nuthorlty and the op
portunity orfered for many men so dis
posed tn use their power cotrttptly with
little chance of detection. Under proper
State control, this danger could be great
ly reduced, wo will not claim It could bo
absolutely banished. Even tho federal
postal system has been used by scoundrels
to their own enrichment, yet because of
a few abuses like that no ono purposes
to abolish It.
JUDOE MUNSONS DECISION.
(From the Bellows Falls Times.)
Speaking of Judge Mnuson's opinion of
the rights uf a wholesale Honor dealer
in Veimont the P.ntland Herald says :
"The spectacle of heavy expiess wagons
from Itutland rolling through towns like
West Itutland and Proctor carrying
small packages, of Inpior and beer for
delivery to consumers, and the soliciting
of trade by runners from Itutland whole
salers are vcrj offensive to decent peo
ple. The license law was enacted to sup
ply and not create a demand. There Is
suthcii'iit thirst lu this vicinity without
developing It by a house to house can
vas. It Is repugnant to the moral sense
of the community that the wholesalers
should importune the Individual con
sumer. It is enough that the Individual
loiiMimcr importunes tliu retailer." The
remarkable sentenco in this paragraph
i.s: "The license law was enacted to
supply nnd not create a demand." In
other words tho license law was to sup
ply a thirst which ,'n years of prohibition
had developed. Very well, but alter
those who are burdened witli a prohibi
tion thirst have died off what will be
come of the saloons unless tho ranks are
recruited?
CLEAN ATHLETICS WANTED.
vFrom the Montpeller Journal.)
In discussing the probable foimation
of a triangular foot ball league, to com
pete tor the Stone cup, the Burro Times
recently gave some! advice that Is wot Hi
the itteutlon ot all inteiested In school
athletics. Says the Times1;
If a foot ball league Is lo bo formed
by three of the foremost preparatory
schools of the State tJoddard Seminary.
Montpeller Seminary, and St. Juhnsbury
Academy as reported, there Is one re
quirement which should bo Incorporated
in the agreement. That Is that all pro
fessionalism be barred. It is the bail"
of school athletics that the spirit of pro
fessionalism creeps in, and the encroach
ment, which already has been noted In
Vermont schools, should be guaided
against. The desire to turn out win
ning teams leads the unthinking to go
beyond tin limits ot legitimate am iteur
spoit, and hi lugs upon the schools cer
tain repiuach from those who are inter
ested in true spurt. It Is a line thing for
a school to be represented by a team of
atnletes which whips Its opponents, but
win n such results are gamed by menus
of Idling players to be numbers of Un
learn the practice should lie stopped. It
Is preferable lor a school to be rcpie
s 'liled b a weaker team, all of whose
members aie beam tide students, than to
have a lot of hired players who may
possibly pursue u emu so or two ot study
to remove tho curse ot tho thing.
Although no definite charges have
been made against the teams of various
schools In Vermont It Is well known that
certain rumors have been current that
Ii iiin.i were not composed of really bona
tide students. No evidence has been
brought out to substantiate these rumors
hut It is probable that there is some
thing ot truth In them. Now there Is no
one school that should bo singled out as
particularly culpable in this lespecl.
I ndoubteitly nearly all the schools
which lay any claim to supeiiority in
athletics have at one time or another
been guilty of breach ul tho rules of
amateur standing. And Instead ot grow
ing less noticeable the spirit still i on
tlnues. Tills should be eliminated ami
athletics In Vermont schools should be
pine eel nnd kept in a purely amateur
basis. So the Times suggests that in
case a league is formed aiuuiig the
three schools mentioned that a strict ad
herence to the rules of amateur stand
ing lie teipilred, and that at least no
player. reiiesentlng any school, should
be 'allowed to play on a team, who re
ceives remuneration for his services,
There will be mote interest In the league
n nil lu addition it will Insure a certain
degree ot equality among the teams, It
such a rulo Is lived up to.

With the .stale Fair.
(From tho Itutland News.)
The management of the Joint Vermont
State Rutland county fair, held In this
city last week, was entirely able and
ellbinnt In no previous year have all
nrr iiigements Uen curried forward with
greater method or dispatch. Indeed, it
Is to be tcconnteil remarkable, consider
ing the fact that lire nlllcrrs of the lair
receive no pay. thit there Is compara
tively ill tie sjsteni.itc preparatory work
done for month" In fore the chlbltlou
ns Is the caic Willi most successful talis
that the arrangements were as satis
factory :. they were this year at Itut
land. There is. then, no criticism of tin
management. They did wonderfully well,
considering tlio conditions under which
they labored.
While It Is staled that the societies will
come out about even financially, the fall
was net what It should be. No one would
claim lor a minute that it was a cu-Jlt-able
exhibition tor the State ot Vermont
or even the county of Itutland, for that
matter-to mak". The exhibits, with two
cr three notable exceptions, th" races and
other attractions, with an exception h"ie
and there; the attendance, all were of
nic-dlncre character.
What are the reasons for this'.' There
are several. Ir the first place, the Slate
fair association is not a State institution,
it l an association of a few individuals
ns sucn, and consequently hivs no Stale
support. The State fair should bo under
tin patronage of the State and b" In tin
hands of the various State commissions
such as the board of agriculture', for in
stanceunder whose Juilsdlctlon a State
fair would naturally come. Then the
State should own suitable grounds. And
light here we say that Itutland offers
better grounds than any other place lu
the State can offer. The State should
see that Its fair Is aided by annual ap
propriations of propel size, to be expend
ed in proper directions for the purpose
of developing rivalry In the production
of grains, vegetables, live stock, horses,
etc.
As It is, the Stale fair has no support
except as It gi Is it from its own otllcers.
from the pitblli at huge and from sale
of privileges. Th.- objectionable gamb
ling devices permitted on Hie grounds are
there beiause the large fees tliey pay fur
privileges arc requited. The high ad
mission f"e of .In i cuts is made impera
tive for similar reasons. The fair socie
ties need tho mono).
The main weakness of this fair, and
those wliu li have preceded It in recent
cai, is the lack of support upon the
part of the tanners. Rutland city people
and those from adjoining villages attend
ed the fair lu large number. But the
number of fanners who attended and
who exhibited their products was very
much below what It should have been
The exhibit of cattle and of poultry was
very creditable little better could rea
sonably be asked. But In the department
of grains and vegetables, horses nnd
hogs, the showing was thin good ns far
as It went, hut it did not go far. Of
course, unless premiums of attractive
slzo are offered, many fanners refuse to
exhibit, because they look upon the mat
ter from a purely business standpoint.
A fnrnier dislikes to In lug down a lot of
horses and hos,s at an expense of per

Adventure., and F.vpcrlcnccs of n I'nrfy
f Five Explorers In the Wild nnd
Woolly CIiiimiii.
As one stands on tho summit of Mount
Washington and looks Into the Crawford
"leh the eye follows n deep chasm
stretching from Blgclow's lawn to the
Frankenstein trestle on tho Mulne Cen
tral railroad. This Is one of tho wildest
and most Inaccessible ravines that penc
dnte the sides ot Mount Washington,
and has been seldom traversed Its wholu
length bv any of tho hundreds of tourists
who visit tbo Whlto mountains for pleas
the It has been tho scene of largo lum
bering operations In past years, but tho
territory has been thoroughly skinned of
trees, and now scrub, underbrush nnd
rolling logs and bridges cover tho ground,
Looking down or up ulong this chasm,
in which Oakes's Cult debouches, tho
task of exploring It seems quite feasi
ble, for a half-day's tramp, but tho
enthusiast should not be deceived; ho
should take a camping outfit for at least
two days, and be prepared for one ot tho
toughest tnountaln-cllmblng Jobs of his
experience.
Five well-seasoned mountaineers, whoso
names are familiar to most of our read
ers, arrived on the summit on a recent
evening after a two days' exploring ex
pedition through tho tntiRles of this re
gion; Mr. nnd Mrs. (leorge A. Flngg
and Charles M. Cox of Maiden, Mass.,
nnd Charles S. Fk'gg of Boston. Their
story Is an Interesting ono:
"We have boon stopping at the Cave
Mountain house, Bartlett. for the past
month. Started Wednesday morning to
go up on the train. IWt the train nt
Wllley station and went around to tho
right of Mount Webster, and as soon
ns we struck the old abandoned railroad
we followed that up. We found all tho
bridges that used to stand there washed
out and most of the bed ot tho railroad
overgrown with brush, except where the
fishermen havo kept a path open. This
brought us along pretty well until wo had
gone two miles or so, when we struck a
gorge which was almost Impossible to
cross on account of the water being so
high. It took us an hour and three
qtmi ters to proceed perhaps not more
than fifty feet. It Is called the 'Dry
River,' but we thought It should be called
'Wet River.' One or two of the party fell
Into the brook at some of our many
crossovers. We reached the end of the
railroad Just at nightfall and pitched
ennp. Showers came en, causing quite
u III tic bother. It wns about ,S o'clock
before we got properly settled down for
th- night.
"We loll camp early Thursday morn
ing, about still following the shore
of the river. Tho logging road was
pretty good for about a mile, hut after
that It was lllled with wind-falls, tops
of trees, rotting logs, and every kind
of debits under the sun simply Impos
sible to stick to It part of the time.
We passed a most magnificent water
fall, which Is not on any map. It has a
fall of about thirty feet. Lioked very
nearly as good as the waterfall In Tuck
crman's. 'At about 11 o'clock we reached where
the cuttings elided. We then made pret
ty good progress until we gut Into Oakes's
Gulf. Coming up the Hour of the gulf
wasn't bad, but when we struck up to
wards the Refuge the fun hi gan. Where
we came out the headwall was practically
vertical; In fact, we were afraid that we
would start a slide at any time. The
underbrush was so thick that we bad to
cut our way through with axes. For
about fifty feet we were obliged to pull
ourselves up by means of little twigs.
Finally we got up where we could look
across and see tho rocks and ledges
pintrudlng above us. With not more than
Win feet of that scrub to get through,
It took us nn hour and a half to reach
the end. In some places we had to walk
on top of the dwarf trees and under
bnHi. while in other places we cut our
way through.
"We reached the Appalachian Refuge
nt about quarter of six wb-re we rested
for some time, and then came tn the
summit by an air line route, which
bi'iiight us right by tho Ormshcc mon
ument. "The general aspect about the place Is
exceditigly wild, far more so than the
Ore it Gulf. It is lllled with ruins of the
logging operations, the rotted and over
turned brldge, adding to the general dis
order. We fully agree with Svveetser's
Guide that it is a two days' journey from
the railroad to the summit.
From the place where we camped
dining the first night n really splendid
view of the summit can le had. As we
firm ceded through the pulf, the South
ern peaks of the Presidential range all
tooli on aspects which were new and
strange to us, .Mount Webster looking
ver.v dwarfisli Indeed.
"We esllmate the distance traveled at
about sixteen or seventeen miles, but the
turns and windings would probably add
many miles lo tills. In one place we
spent an hour and a quarter In making
two crossings of the river, owing to the
dep tli and velocity of the stream. Where
we emerged from (he gulf to the bridle
path was about half a mile beyond the
Appalachian ridge.
"Oakes's Gulf has a most peculiar In
terest for hnntnnfot, as many rare speci
mens of flower are to be found there.
"The new growth of wood where the
logging operations have been carried on
will not amount to anything for many
years to come. There Is nothing but
scrub birch, and maple, and scraggy
bushes growing there now.
"It was certainly one of our toughest
experiences and one that taxes a man's
strength to the utmost, nnd It Is sur
prising to be able to say that Mrs. 11. igg
stood the strain very well."
Friday morning the party proceeded
over the Northern peaks to the Madison
hut, where they passed the night: thence
to Randolph and from there by train to
Bartlett. Among tho Clouds.
PLANTING BULBS IN THE FA ,L.
The time to prepare for the spring
feast of flowers Is In tho fall, says Coun
try Life lu America. Too often people
forget all about it until they see tho
tulips in the pinks or in their neighbors'
gardens, nnd then they hie to the bulb
seller In a quest for bulbs. Generally
speaking, from the middle of October
until the ground is closed with frost,
the bulbs for spring Doweling may be
planted. Some of the species are lato In
ripening, llly-of-the-valley, for Instance,
and so the planting stock Is not avail
able until November, lu our Northern
climate frost and snow may have made
ih'ir appearand before these are pro
curable, so the expedient of covering the
ground where they nro to bo planted
must he adopted. Coarse bagging spread
over the ground and a covering of three
or four Inches of leaves, hay, or Utter of
nny kind will answer. The best bulb
garden the writer ever had a small one,
'tis true was planted on New Year's
dav, the soil having been kept frost
fiee by the method described. However,
unquestionably, tho earlier tho better.
The first customers get the best stock,
nnd the nnialeur will do well to order
his hardy bulbs In September, for Octo
ber pluntlng.
HOW TO PLANT HYACINTHS.
(From Country Life In America.)
First In Importance among hardv bulbs
1 should place the hyacinths. Much has
been written about putting them in post
Hon in tho bed and Ihen covering them
with soli, putting stud under them, etc..
but In actual practice these slow and
laborious methods nro not essential lo
success. If, however, tlio planter pre
fers to follow the more laborious ami
possibly surer method, then remove live
or six Inches of the top soil nnd cover the
surface of the soil where tho bulbs nre in
be set with nn Inch of sand. One advan
tage of this method Is thai It enables tho
planter to nccurately plnce tlio bulbs In
position us lo dptli and distance apart.
S" that the effect at llovveiliig time Is
more regular as u whole than II plnnte I
with a dibber. The la)er of sand hits Us
advantage, Inasmuch ns It provides drnln
nue jtt the base of tho bulbs and minim
Ifcs the chances of decay from contact
Willi innnuro r the soil and from water
lodging Immedlatelv beneath them The
writer has seen good beds of bulbs obtain
ed bv both methods, lui the hi' t one de
ccribid Is poijslbly the burcr one.

The lumber markets ot the Orient, and
the share which tho Trilled Slates Is
likely to lmvu In supplying them, is the
subject just now of some attention by
tho United States department ot com
merce and labor. Itecent reports from
American consuls In tho Orient an
nounced the nrrlval of the first cargo of
lumber In the Chinese market, by n Ilus
slan vessel from Vladivostok. This fact,
opens tho question of future competition
for the Oriental market between Un
American lumber Interests on tho Pacific
coast, on the one band, and that of tho
Hussions in Siberia nnd on the Ynlu
river, on the other. In both cases enor
mous resources are awaiting develop
ment. Th" American Industry on Iho
Pacific coast has the advantage of or
ganization on a lnrge scale, nnd of mo
chanlcal equipment unequalled by that
of any other field In the world. This Is
evidenced by the rate of annual produc
tion. Pilonidal estimates put the annual
i ut of lumber and shingles of the three
Pacific States at l.6no.fK).i)fl feet, of
wlili li California supplies .Miii.iuo.On'iU
feet, Oregon "I'l.ono.ditj feet, ami Wash
ington L'eliiUien.OiiO feet. At this rate it Is
calculated that the forests of the Pacific
cn.iM will he exhausted in 10 years.
As would naturally be expected, the
Pacific lumbermen have been rapidly en
larging their area and volume ot com
meni.il distribution, both hi the foreign
and the domestic markets. According to
verified figure, the redwood shipments
from upper California, mostly to San
Francisco and tho southern coast,
amounted In 1302 to Wn,."i37,ti03. In addi
tion to this, the California coast alone
roii Ived iii V.inj. nt;,iv.,!K! feet of plnn and
fir; In 1301, 4m.Mri.,-lo feet, and In ID'H
.I7'.2rs.013 feet. The rate of Increase, as
will he seen by comparison of these fig
ures, is enormous. Unifier's Weekly.

In a few years pheasants will be bred

DUATH OF MRS. ALICE GORDON
Ul'LlCK.
In the death of Mrs. Alice Gordon
Guliek In London on September II, the
foreign Interests of the religious world
lost a devoted wotker.
A warm friend of Lady Henry Somer
sei, ber last days were spent In Lady
Jlenry's Kngllsh home.
Mrs. Guliek was educated nt Mount
ilulyoke, nnd she taught iheie several
years. It was during this time that she
became acquainted with Mr. William II.
Guliek and tuck a more active Interest
in religious work abroad. Thereafter
her life centered in the San Sebastian
School for Girls, especially dining late
years. Sho made several trips through
the States collecting funds for It.
This school, which Is now called the
International Institute for Girls In Spain,
has acquired a plot of ground in Madrid
for a woman's college on a permanent
basis
Tho school began in a small circle of
Illiterate young Spanish girls in Sun
tander. to whom, at their tequest. Mrs.
Guliek gnvo Instruction in the rudiments
of education, she being then a mission
ary of the Woman's Hoard. When she
and her husband moved to San Sebas
tian the class followed and thus formed
tho nucleus of the Institute of to-day.
A non-sectnrlan corporation made up
of American educatois and friends of
education, whose second president was
Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, undertook
the administration of the Institute. The
work of bending out native teacbeis
from this center to the primary arid
secondary schools throughout the coun
try lias continued so effectively that
3.KJ0 Spanish children are now under tho
tutelage of former students of the In
stitute. Seventeen graduates have passed
the Statu examination and received tho
