of ex-Mayor Warren IL Austin of ft.

It looks as if Morrisville had already
lost its fight for the Lamoille county
seat. The legislature will decide largely
by the local feeling, and when eijfht
out of ten town hnw preference for
Hyde Park it Is not likely that the
wishes of tho towns will be antag
onized. The man wno called Roosevelt a "liar"

platform by the colonel. tUo,sevelt'a

"John Center is a brave old Roman at
that. A lifelong Democrat like John,
t,ood old philosopher that lie is, doesn't
mind a little thing like a defeat." With
such salving words does a contemporary
console a defeated man, pour ointment
on his wounds, bind up the torn liga
ments, wash off the marks of conflict
and lay liim gently on the nhelf. Ho,
John so! Hut there's many a. kick left
in the "old Roman" yet.
White River Junction is euro to prove
an important point in to-morrow s dis
patches. It is the news capital of the
Green Mountain state. Boston Tran
script. That's rather peculiar, too, since the
headquarters of the Republican state
committee was in Rutland, the chairman
of the committee was in Newport, the
headquarters of the Democratic state
committee was in St. Albans with its
candidate, and White River Junction is
only one of the smaller communities of
the state. The advantage of the place
lies in its location midway the length
of the state and, therefore, able to get
in communication with all parts of the
state rather easily and collect the elec
tion returns. White River Junction is
advantageously located, as we have pre
viously had reason to point out.
A RUMBLE OF DISCONTENT.
By virtue of a Vermont Republicanism
which is almost as unshakable as the
Vermont hills, John' A. Mead of Rutland
will be the nest governor of Vermont.
Yesterday's results give him a majority
somewhat better than the low-water
mark of Vermont off-year elections and

considerably below the average for the
off-years since 1870. At the same time,
it is apparent that the defection from
the Republican ranks was not as large
a was threatened, or rather that the
accretions, of the Democratic aide were
not a large as were anticipated by the
Democratic leaders. Republican who
sought to enter a protest against Mead
did so by refraining from voting for the
hiad of any ticket, rather than by vot
ing for the Democratic candidate. It is
evident from certain sections, notably
Washington county, that this protest
was considerable. For instance, Mont
pelier, which ia a Repuhliran stronghold,
shifted to the Democratic column in the
governorship contest and at the aame
time maintained a good Republican ma
jority in all the other positions. North
field, which gave LeigMon P. Slack, the
Republican candidate for lieutenantgov
ernor, 279 votes, gave only 103 to Mead.
Among the smaller towns, Berlin, for
example, gave 100 votes to Mack and
only 70 to the head of tho ticket. Those
cases illustrate the feeling of the people
around central Vermont. That was
shared to more or less extent throughout
the state; but the dissatisfaction wa
not general enough to make itself felt
in the shape of a great protest. It was
nothing more than a rumble of discon
tent, but still is worth listening to by
the Republican party and it candidates.
Current Comment
The Vermont Militia.
It is encouraging to lenrn of the splen
did part, the Vermont militia played in
the army manoeuvres at Pine tamp un
der the command of Col. J. Oray Estey,
because it means that the First regi
ment is steadily acquiring tirst-class ef
ficiency in the practical knowledge of
arms under the patient efforts of this
excellent officer. Perhaps few people in
the state realize at what sacrifice Colonel
Kstey, with bis pressing business af
fairs, . retains command of the regiment
after a long service with it in peace and
in war. But be is giving the best that
is in him to make Vermont's militia
force the equal of the best volunteer sol
diers and to prevent, for this generation,
at least, the humiliating experiences
that . befell the regiment in the war
with Spain, because- a mistaken state
policy had not prepared it for actual
service. St. Albans Messenger.

Books and Authors
Some New Publications
Attracting Attention
I
S" Pr. Charles W.
Eliot's new
book. 'The Du
rable Satisfaction
of Life," we have
a volume of charm
ing essays. The ti
tle Indicates that it
la the lasting pleas
ures of life for
which he eek,
those pleasures that grow rather than
pull by repetition and cause roan to
lay, when comes the time of dimmed
eyes and whitened locks, not "All is
vanity and vetatlon of spirit" tut "It
Is good to have lived." But be empha
sises the necessity of cultivating tbs
faculty of enjoyment as one goes
along. "The Lest way to secure future
happiness Is to be as happy us Is right
fully possible tjday." And together
with this it is necessary to realize how
common to all average men and wom
en are the grent, the most important,
sources of human happiness. Neither
great riches nor ruucb leisure, he
points out, can add n great deal to the
possibilities of the fullest satisfactions
In living.
Among these possibilities he gives
smple measure to the satisfactions of
sense. Even such humble delights as
eating and drinking receive due recog
nition. "Takiug food and drink." says
the president emeritus of Harvard, "is
a great enjoyment for healthy people,
and those w ho do not enjoy eating sel
dom have much capacity for enjoy,
ment or nsefulness of any sort." But
of far more Importance are the pleas
ures to be gained through the eye and
the ear. "The whole outward world
is the kingdom of the observant eye.
lie who enters into any part of that
kingdom to possess it has a store of
pure enjoyment in life which is liter
ally inexhaustible and Immeasurable.
Ills eyes alone will give him a life
worth living." ,
Some years ago Colonel John Jacob
Astor was known as the millionaire
society man. Then he went into pol
Itlcs, and the word politician appeared
fter bis name. Later on he gave as
many clever and useful inventions, and
we called hi in the millionaire Inventor.
But now that his
book, "A Journey
Into Other Worlds,"
is attracting . so
much attention hi
will probably be
called the million
aire author until he
makes his mark in
some other field.
The volume is a
Cight of fancy, la
which the author
tells of the triumphs
of science and the COrrwtr. stoh.
wonders to come.
In writing of his work recently Colonel
Astor wrote:
"In my book I assumed the discovery
of a force counteracting gravitation.
We know that mnguets can repel as
easily as they attract and that the
earth is a great magnet I coined a
word, 'apergy,' for this gravitational
counterpart With apergy, if w e could
produce It, we could do almost any
thing, from lifting weights on earth to
a trip to the moon or farther, if prop
erly equipped. Think what emnncipt
tion from gravitation, if we could neu
tralize that ancieDt force, would mean
to the aeroplane! It would need no
wings, could carry ns much weight as
the aviator wished, and the engine
would be needed only for propulsion.
"With ' apergy tremendous speed
would not be difficult. As a falling
body drops sixteen feet the first sec
ond, thirty-two the next, siity-four the
next, and so on, so the speed would
increase in geometrical progression,
with repulsion equaling gravitation, as
we happen to And it. but if we could
make the earth repel at all there is no
reason why this should not be in
creased so that soon we should acquire
cometary Telocity."
"'Now,' said the doctor, 1 am go
ing to show you the effect of alcohol
upon your circulation.' 1 think it was
'circulation,' he said; it may have been
advertising.' " This is one of the

graphs In the very

his death, and be

Like the very last line of one of his
deep, whimsical stories were the Inst
conscious words he said. It was dark
on Sunday morning, and he knew that
be was going. "Turn on the lights,
doctor." he said and smiled. "I'm
afraid, to go home in the dark."
The Inst volume of stories from O.
Henry's pen was gone over by him not
a month before his death. These sto
ries will be published soon under the
title of "Whirligigs." In less than ten
years this man became the roost popu
lar and the bet short story writer in
America. He left behind him ten vol

on the Maine coast While there be
conducted some original research work,
whose result led him to report the
following:
