C. S. Page sails in the Cunarder "Campania" from New York next week Friday for a few weeks' travel among the calf skin tanners and hide dealers of Europe. Mr. Page has enjoyed a somewhat extensive patronage from European tanners for several years, but until this season the growth has been quite moderate and gradual, owing to the extreme conservatism of foreigners with reference to buying any class of goods as variable in quality as green calf skins, without first seeing the goods.

But they have finally come to understand that under Mr. Page's system of selection and grading tbe usual risk attending the purchasing of this class of goods is eliminated and it is not an unusual thing now for him to get orders lor carloads at a time without any limit as to price or tiuahty, but relying entirely upon Mr. Page's reputation for "square dealing. The Governor is exceedingly fortunate in having for a companion traveler Senator secure a much needed rest. Fighting for the cause of Republicanism in the United States Senate during a sultry Washington summer has been somewhat arduous labor.

We have no doubt that this genial pair of Vermont's ex-Governors will enjoy their foreign trip, for they are both built that way," and we are equally certain that they will carry with them the best wishes of the sons of Vermont for a boa voyage and a safe return. CENTREV1LLE. Eev. F. C.

Tickets on sale at Foss'. If there is to be a lecture course here this season it is high time a movement in that direction is made.

This is a matter in which every one should take an active inti st. as a good lecture course is not only of merit as an educator, but. is also an advertisement of the enterprise of a town. Representative Davis was at home from Montpelier over Sunday. Amos is apparently pleaned with his job, and looks as if legislative life agreed with him.

He is located at the Montpelier House, among a multitude of good Republicans. He is on the important Grand List Committee and will see that the quadrennial appraisal for this town, which was so badly bungled by our board of listers, is maele legal before it goes into effect next year. We clip the following from au Antwerp, Belgium, letter in last week's Shoe Leather Reporter "Carroll S. Page is sending considerable quantities of cnlf skins herennd toother parts of Europe. Dealers speak highly of his method of selection, which ennblesthem to buy exactly the weights and kinds desired.

I have seen one hoiiBe which imported 20,000 skiLS from Mr. 1'nge in the past two months, and while I whs in the office they cabled for 4,000 more.

23 days, taking first money in seven and second in the other, winning in purses $7f0. Fred Utton. his driver, is winning many commendations for his splendid handling of the SUSPICIOUS CHAHACTEU8 ARUESTEU. Considerable excitement was aroused here Thursday by the arrest of two fellows who could not give a very straight account, of themselves and were evidently dead broke," and attempting to beat their way through the country by jumping board bills. They arrived at Mr.

Bolac's hotel at eight o'clock Wednesday night, without any sign of baegage of any description, and registered as W. II. Reels and J. W. Fuller of Burlington In the morning they were recognized by.

and they also recognized, a cigar salesman who was there over night, and who saw in them two gents who had skipped a hotel bill at Danville and Cabot, they having registered at the latter place as E. W. Lane and J. W. Bean of Burlington.

As soon as the cigar salesman went into the dining room, tin se two gents asked in regard to the express office and passed out. hen informed of their past history Mr. Bolac took his team, got Officer Geo. Town and started out, after finding that they had not appeared at the express office, and fortunatelystarted in the right direction, overtaking the pedestrians on the road toward Cady's Falls. They were gathered in by Officer Town and housed in thecorporation "rat-trap," and seemed to take quite a cheerful view oi their situation.

It was found that one of the two answered the description of one of the post-office thieves who have operated in the State, a description having been sent out by District Attorney Sentc. It was also learned that these men were seen in company with another man and a woman at East llardwick a little before, and as a woman hod figured in the same descriptive circular, there seemed to be reasonable suspicion attached to the parties here. District Attorney Senter ordered Officer Town to take the men to Rutland, which he did Friday uiorniug. They can give no satisfactory account of themselves and in fuct will talk but very little, and are still held with the belief that they are larger game than board jumpers.
