Democrats Watching
Vermont Election
Montpelier, V&, Sept. 1 —The
first important test of political
strength under the unususl con
ditions prevailing this year will be
made in Vermout Tuesday when
the first state election will be held.
National issues have beea present
ed and the effect upon che Repub
lican and Democratic vote of the
campeign of Col. Rouosevelt, who
toured the state last week, will be
watched with intcreet.
Vermont has been strongly Re
publican for half a century, bat
the size of the Republican plurali
ty, with the exception of three
years, nas beein an accurate da
rometer of ti.e political sentiment
of the nation. Whenever the Re
publican plurality has fallen be
low 25.000 a Democratic President
has been elected in November.
This year the entry of the Pro
gressives has complicated the situ
ation.
There are five gubernatorial
candidates, Col. Allen M, Fletch
er, Republican; Harlan B. Howe,
Demoecrat: the Rev. Frazer Metz
ger, Progressive; Clement F.
Smith, Prohibitionist, and Fred
W. Saiter, Socialist,
LEGISLATURE MAY ELECT. 4
One element of interest entering
into the election is the possibility
that the Legislature may have to
determ:ne who will be the next
governor. In Vermont anything
Jess than a masjority throws the
election of state officers into the
Legislature.
Chairman L. C. Williams of the
Republican state committee pre
dicted to-night the election of
Allen M, Fletcher, saying the
Legislature will not have to choose
& ZOVernor.
E. W, Gibson one of the Pro
oressive leaders, said:
“The total vote wili be slightly
over 60,000. The Democrstic vote
will be from 18,000 to 20,000 and
the Progressive vote about 15,000,
There will be no election by the
people. The Legislature, controll
ed bv Democrats and Progressives.
will elect a governor and it is safe
to sav he will not be a Republican.”
“I hope to be in a position to
morrow to make some sort of an
estimate,” said Chairman E, S,
Harris of the Democratic state
committee, ‘‘but I dislike to give
out figures until I have something
upon which to base them,”
NEW SPELLING IN ENGLAND
Board of Reformees Are Planning te
Deliver Lectures Throughout
the Country.
A campaign in favor of spelling re
form is to be conducted in London
and the provinces in tae autumn and
winter,
Mr. William Archer, under the aus
pices of the Simplified Spelling soci
ety, is to conduct a lecturing tour on
his return from the east, and lectures
will also be delivered by many other
well-known men throughout the coun
try.
The lecturers will advocate the re
form of what they regard as the pres
ent “chaotic spelling,” which they de
clare is so remote from pronunciation
that it is ne guide to the Englich lan
guage at all, and tends &0 degrade our
speech.
The society desires to fix a standard
of pronnnciaticn of the English lan
guege throughout the empire.

pecple over seas, particularly in Aus
traliz apd South Africa, are deviating
to seriously from the gemeral siand

FRENCH PAPERS FCR SALE
Thief With Vzluable Historic Docu
ments on His Person Arresicd
in Madrid,
A Fremch subject has been arrested
in Madrid after trying to sell impor
rant historical documents stolen, with
ont doubt, from scme muséum or
French cficial center. The arrest
was made by pelicemen, who had the
man unéer cbservation, under the pre
iense of being probable buyers. |
They fourd ucon him the ratification
cf the secret treaty of peace between
Louis XIV. and Philip IX. of Spain.
This treaty, commonly calied the Py
rences Treaiy, was sigued in 1639, and
terminated the war between France
a2nd Spain. In virtue of it Louis mar
ried the Infanta Maria Teresa, Phil
lip's daughter.
Another document contains the mar
riage articles, in which the princess
renounces all rights to the crown of
Spain. Finally, the man exhibited a
parchment signed by the emperor,
Charles V. The documents present all
the appearance of authenticity. The
two former berr royal ssals and the
signatures of Maria Teresa, Louis
XIV. and Philip IV.
The prisoner's body is covered with
tatooed designs in colors, beautifully
exccuted. He has deep s=cars on boib
his wrists.
New Scheocl Sanitation Plan.
A new idea in school sanitation has
been tested by the medical director of
Dartmouth college. About five years
ago he began making bactericlogic ex
aminations of the air of the college
halls and pecitation rooms, and socn
found a great periodic variation in the
number of bacteria colonies that de
veloped on the culture media exposed
in the usual shallow open dishes. He
then adopted the plan ef disinfecting
with formaldehyde any room showing
more than thirty-five colonies of clus
ters of amy kind of bacteria to a dish.
This custom has been contirued, and
the result has been quite striking, the
cases of epidemic colds, influenza and
bronchitis, among the students having
been reduced about one-half.
An Applied Definition.
E. Trowbridge Dana, grandson of
the poet Longfeflow, who was recent
ly married in Cambridge with a beau
tiful ritual of his own composition,
said the other day to a reporter:
“If all couples gave to marriage the
profound thought and reverence that
my wifs and I give to it there would
be fewer mismatings.
“The average married pair, it some
times seems to me, are like the
Blinkses. -
“‘Pa’ said little Tommy Blings one
day, ‘what’s a weapon?’
“‘A weapon, my son,” Blinks an
swered, ‘is something to fight with.’
“‘“Then, pa,’ said little Tommy, ‘is
ma your weapon? "
Men and Women of Werld.
The total population of the world is
aow estimated at 1,700,000,000. This is
based vpon the most recent censuses,
which ali civilized countries now take,
with a careful estimate of the number
of inhabitants ef uncivilized lands.
The preportion of the sexes is known
for 1,038.800,000 of these, the ratio be
ing 1,000 males to 990 females. The
ratio varles eonsiderably in different
places. In Europe there are 1,000 men
to 1,045 women; in Amerioa, 1,000
