BUILDING QUARRY RAILROADS.
Realizing wherein they made a mistake
in cot building a railroBd to the Barre
granite quarries many years ago, officers
of. the Central Vermont R. R. are now
losing no time in constructing a line to the
quarries recently opened up In the town of
Kethel.' The directors of the new road,
which will be named the Bethel Granite
Railway company are C. M, Hays, E. II.
Fltzhugh, C. W. Waters, W. E. Mullins
and W. II. Chaffee, who are respectively
president, vice-president and general man
ager, attorney, superintendent of trans
portation and treasurer of the Central
Vermont R. R. Undoubtedly the Central
people are doing a good thing for them
selves In constructing the Bethel Granite
R. K., and will also assist materially in
the development of the valuable., natural
resources of that section. Here In Barre,
while they lost a strong foothold in the in
dustry in not being the first to make con
nections to Millstone Hill, where lies the
greatest amount of uncovered granite,
there is still a good opportunity. The
Times refers to the great granite deposits
on the neighboring peak, Cobble Hill, as
yet unreached by a railroad. The Cen
tral has already taken the preliminary
steps toward surveying. In time there
will be a railroad to Cobble Hill, although
the Central Vermont may not build it.
The trustees of the University of Ver
mont should not attempt to start a law
department in connection with that insti
tution unless they see their way clear to
have a good one. A poor law school,
which exists chiefly in name, is muoh
worse than no attempt at all; and if a
creditable department cannot be main
tained it is far better to send students of
law to institutions outside of the state as
now. To attempt to live tip to the
name of a university is a worthy ambi
tion provided there is suflioieut support,
but it Is a poor move otherwise. There
appears, however, to be a good ehauce for
one excellent law school In the state and if
one can be maintained on a parity with
the medical department of the state uni
versity then the trustees would be justified
tn organizing it.
If liurre people wish to hear any of the
noted men who are to speak in Vermont
this summer th-y will have the privilege
of paying railroad fare to do so, for not
"'cue of the speakers.as the programme now
stands, has been assigned to this city,
Whose fault is this, our own, or the Repub
lican state committee? Possibly the Re
publican managers consider Barre "sure."
It takes nerve to resign a $12,300 seat
on the bench to chase a will 'o the wisp.
That's what Alton B. Parker has just
done. But he probably considers himself
"called." It remains to be seen whether
he will be "chosen."
Even if the county Prohibitionists did
not find a state's attorney candidate in
Barre, they discovered euough other can
dates to more than make tip.

with a train in Ohio the other day found
Itself on the junk heap. 'Twere ever thus

A cable dii-patch recently published
In New York stated that London so
ciety was considerably wrought up
over the publication of a letter in the
London Daily Mail, signed "American
Visitor." The writer of this letter de
clared that for the weekly mini of 10
guineas (about tie was being en
tertained by a downger countess for
the Goodwood and Cowes ruciug sea
son, the arrangement including intro
ductions to titled persons, on condition
that the hoarder did not wear American
clothes and hid his Auierlcun accent.
The London Daily Mail in cabling the
letter to the New York American sub
mitted documentary evidence establish
ing the genuineness of the communica
tions mentioned in the letter.
The letter is dated off (.'owes. Isle of
TTight, Aug. 1, and here it is in part:
I am in a chair under an awning on
the deck of u noble yacht that today
tuukos a unit in the great floating for
est off ('owes, having dined well at a
board graced by the presence of proba
bly more real aristocrats than nil my
confreres in Wall street have ever
seen. I am a mere moneyed American,
of confessedly snobbish tendencies, and
I do not feel pleased with myself. Nor
Is my contempt for my fellow Amer
icans diminished by the reflection that
indirectly I shall pay for that dinner.
On the contrary, the fact that I have
entertained, unknown to themselves,
some of the proudest and bluest blood
ed owners of pedigrees in Burke's is a
tidbit lending a pleasant flavor to my
cigar. The latter, which I suspect will
cost me a dollar In my board bill, I ex
tracted from a box bearing a coronet
inscribed with a motto that since Bol
Ingbroke's days has been the watch
word of generations of lighters.
I am the first paying guest to be re
ceived into the bosom of the distin
guished but Impoverished family bear
ing this crest. For something approach
ing my chief clerk's salary, $.". Hi, the
dowager countess, my present land
lady, undertook to receive me for Good
wood and Cowes, introducing me to a
certain number of her titled friends.
I made the dowager countess's ac
quaintance through an advertisement
in the "board and apartments wanted"
column of the Morning I'ost, announc
ing my ambition to mix in good Eng
lish society, approximate terms to be
stated. The dowager's was oue of
thirty-eight replies received, half of
them bearing coronets and the names
of people making a splash in society,
as we "vulgar Americans" term it. Oue
application bore an impressive daub of
purple wax with a coronet and straw
berry leaves.
Of the many applications received,
my secretary decided on the dowager
countess, as she seemed to offer the
best opportunities, so that I found that
for six shillings and nine pence, the
cost of my advertisement, the doors
of the highest English society were
flung wide open to welcome me. Next
day the successful applicant, the dow
ager countess, telephoned me.
Americans visiting England criticise
your nonliustling ami unbusinesslike
ways, but they ought to have dealings
with some bill burdened, entail ridden
aristocrats looking for paying guests
and they would shed that idea. No
Wall street hustler could have handled
the telephone better than the dowager,
and the way she stuck through subse
(jiicnt negotiations made me thank my
stars and stripes that I had no need to
talk dollars to her every day. The
dowager made me put away all my
American clothes before she would
consent to temporarily adopt me, and
(she expressed the wisli that I do ttie
Bttine with my American accent. I find
the latter feat dlillcult, but during the
week at Goodwood and by hard practice
I have rubbed off the sharper corners
of my objectionable twang, and the
dowager gives me daily lessons after
lunch on the yacht.
Fo behold me this evening sitting on
one of the smartest yachts In the
Cowes roads, satisfied with everybody
raid everything, M 1 am certainly get
ting my money's worth.
Gracefully reclining in a chair near
by is one of the most beautiful debu
tantes of the season. She is the dowa
ger's youngest daughter, and, being
an impressionable bachelor with enough
money to build tip the shattered for
tunes of this good old family it is
curious, but my cigar smoke makes a
succession of rings,
Near by sits the dowager countess.
In the glow of the setting sun she
looks almost pretty again, and I can
believe the story that in the mtd-Vlc-torlqn
days she was an autocratic
queen of beauty nt whose frown men
went tiger hunting In. India and did
other desperate things. The stories
must he true, for the dowager herself
told me.
Loaning over the dowager's chair
Stands her eldest son, the present ear!.
Her sweet old face is upturned to him,
and I note that ' her hair is almost
white. I know that the earl Is In
dignant that his mother has taken a
paying guest, end she Is defending her
action on the ground that everybody
does It. The eurl snubs me subtly at
every opportunity, but his lordship
must be careful or I shall tell him that
I could obtain as good accommodation
elsewhere at cheaper rates. Besides,
I'll no longer allow Mm to teach me
bridge at sixpenny point.
