very many the second number, Bach's "Air
from Suite In d, with its delicate standings SO
artistically given by Mr. Howe, was the gem
of the occasion. This selection is the one
given by Wilhelm on the @ string Of his vio-
lin with such thrilling effect in his concerts in
this country. Mr.. Howe's pleasing compost
ton, ''The Harbor Bar" was given with great
sympathy Of Interpretation by Mrs. f. G..
Howe and Miss Alice Howe and Miss Mamie
Howos charmingly fresh voice was heard with
excellent effect in MozarCs song, "Silently
Blending" Gounod's military March, with
its stirring trumpet calls, brought the pro-
gramme to a close.
THE ENGLISH BALLAD CONCERT.
One Of tho largest and most cultivated au-
diences which has been seen in Brattleboro in
recent seasons gathered at Crosby hall on
Tuesday evening" the occasion being the Eng
lish ballad concert, complimentary to Mrs. E.
Aline Osgood As was previously announced
several Of our most talented home musicians
kindly lent their assistance. Among these
were Mr.. L. X. Willis, who gave the song,
When the tide comes in" Miss M. NJ.
Nutting, solo pianist, Mr.. M. A. Mckee, who
gave at was dream" and Misses Mamie
Howe and Hattie Brazor, both Of whom gave
songs and were warmly encored. Mr.. Alex
anders double quartette of male voices gave
selections. Mr.. ". Eugene COlo gave Drll-
liant and finely executed clarionet solo, aud
Knapp & Burnett's orchestra opened the
evening" with Suppes overture 'Deicht Caval-
lerie." In addition 10 her three numbers on
the programme, Mrs. Osgood kindly respond
ed 10 loud and enthusiastic oncores. OF Mrs.
Osgood IL can only be said that the enthu-
siasm which her appearance here four years
ago created was simply increased and deepen
ed on this occasion. To each Of her individ-
ual listeners II was far easier TO understand
than to say in words what those qualities are
which have given Mrs. Osgood leading place
among artists both at home and abroad.
The quality Of her voice in the high and sus.
tanned tones Is simply remarkable, and to this
she adds a wonderful fullness and evenness in
all the registers. Mr.. Howe's services as &C
oompanist we're marked by the same sympathy
and delicacy Of shading which we have come
to expect in all his performances.
TEE ELECTION IN BBATTLEBoRo.
In Brattleboro the state election passed
of in the most quiet and uneventful manner.
But little more than half a full vote was cast
as compared with that Of two years ago, the
total on the state ticket being only COG against
| 1887 in 1880. The only event of interest, or
which created any excitement, was the cleo.
ton Of town representative. When the box
was turned at O'Clock and the ballots count
I'd, it appeared that there was no choice, the
vote standing as follows:

The one issue in the Ohio campaign this
year is the liquor question. National poll
tics do not enter into the canvass, except in.
oidentally in the election of Congressman.
The highest officer on the STAGE ticket is the
secretary of state, and no state senators or
representatives are to be chosen. The posi-
ton of the Democrats on the liquor question
as defined by their adyersaries is free whis-
key and no Sunday" the attitude of the Re
publicans as described by their opponents is
strict prohibition. Neither party holds the
extreme place thus attributed to it. The Re
publican platform demands that "by specific
taxation the traffic in intoxicating liquors be
made to bear its share of the public burdens"
and that 'all laws upon the statute books
must be respected and enforced" The Dem
ooratic platform declares that the party
"steadfastly adheres to the doctrine of the
largest liberty consistent with the public well
fare and is opposed to legislation merely
sumptuary." These declarations, as is gem
orally the case with such resolutions, may be
taken to mean much or nothing. Judged by
the utterances of their leading representa-
tives the Republicans are in favor of closing
all saloons on Sunday and of imposing such
tax upon dealers as will shut up half the sa-
looms in the state and make the business bur
densome to the other half The Democrats
cOncede that liquor selling should bear its

The curious spectacle was presented at An
sonia, Conn, last Sunday, of the funeral of a
murderer, who had been hanged on the pre-
vious Friday, attended by q crowd of ten
thousand people, with all the accessories of
the average imposing demonstration. The
murderer was young man of twenty three,
familiarly known as "Chip" Smith, who
from boy had been terror to his family,
the officers of the law and the whole commu-
nifty The crime for which he was hung
was the murder of an officer who came one
night to arrest him to protect his mother and
sister from his drunken violence. His last
days in prison were marked by the usual re-
ligious ministrations, with floral and other
gifts from weak minded women. At his fu-
neral there was profusion of floral offerings
among others pillow with dove and the
words, Thou art forgiven" Several social
clubs of young men were represented and
one hundred and fifty carriages were in the
procession. The officiating priest solemnly
urged on the immense congregation the les
sons of the murderer's life and death and doubt
less meant all he said, but the imposing show
spoke louder than any words, and there were
in all probability thousands of young men
present whose most vivid impression in con-
nection with the occasion was that their for
mer comrade by means of crime and a
hangman's moose had secured a degree of
public sympathy and attention such as could
have come to him in no other way. viii il
be strange if such young men conclude that,
after all, there is nothing SO very bad about
the crime of murder and its penalty?

Loeeme.l,e. for Narrow.Gauge..

lfrOm the Boston JouruAl.l
The narrow gauge people are still striving
for greater tractive power. As the traffic in
creages their resources are severely taxed,
and, burdsned as they are with small cars,
they find that long trains are necessary, and,
consequently, to get power to do the work,
unusually heavy engines are needed. As they
are usually limited by their very light rails,
the weight on each driver has to be Kept
down. Consequently, even for passenger
work. they have had 10 resort to "moguls, "
and Consultations" are commonly used for
freight. One of the latest of these engines
built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works, has
10 drivers, an overhanging fre-box back of
the drivers, cylinders 16 inches in diameter
by 20 inches stroke, 37-inch driving wheels
aud a total wheel-base Of u feet > inches.
The rigid wheel-base is . feet inches. The
boiler, which is intended to burn wood, is 80
inches in diameter, with Hues Is feet I inch
loug, and n fre-box 49, inches long, As inch
es wide and 54i inches deep. These engines
are very light on the rails, the great number
of driving wheels giving the necessary adj
besion without excessive weight upon any
une pair.

The Edmunds law against polygamy in
Utah has evidently pierced the Mormon vi
tails. The leaders of the alleged Saints have
issued a manifesto in the form of protest.
They no longer hurl defiance at the Gentle,
but strive to pose as victims of persecution
for the sake of their religion. They claim
that polygamy is interviewer with their dear
est and hottest hopes connected with eterni-
ty, and that it emanated from the Almighty
by special revelation. They further claim
that their principles will endure when en-
pires, powers and nations shall crumble and
decay. They further call upon the Mormon
people Ito guard well their franchise, and,
as patriots and freemen, operate together in
defence of what few liberties are left to
them. This excitement of the Mormon lead
ers is due to the fact that the Utah commits
sioners are actively at work under the Ed
munds law. The revision of the registra-
ton lists is to be done thoroughly and $50
officers have already been appointed in the
different counties and precincts to purge the
lists of DISTINGUISHED voters A rule has been
adopted that every person who, since the
law of 1862 has lived in polygamous rela-
tons, shall be refused the rights of franchise.
This cuts right and left, and if the law can
be executed, it throws out the Mormon vote.

ification to receive such compliment from
the citizens of Brattleboro 1t was a proud
epoch in his life when he represented Brat
tleboro in the Legislature two years ago, and
now he felt it doubly a compliment to have
this endorsement Of the course then taken
by him on the tax law and other important
subjects of legislation. He would pledge
himself to use every effort to keep the tax
law just as it is; he would try to represent
the wishes of the people of the town so far
as made known to hin, and when he could
not conscientiously so represent the town he
would resign. In closing Col. Hooker said
he believed il a worthy thing for the young
to have an ambition for public life, and he
would say to every young man before him,

one day represent your town in the Legisla-
ture."

MR.. HowE's RECITAL.

A large and appreciative audience gathered
at the Unitarian church last Saturday after
noon to listen to the organ recital by MIR. Lu-
Glen Howe, and It is needless to say that the
hour thus passed was one of great enjoyment
The programme, though short, was most ad-
mirably selected, and served 10 display in a
very high degree Mr.. Howe's rare musical
taste, as well as his skill and breadth in inter.
probation. The climax of the entertainment
was undoubtedly reached in the brilliant and
difficult 'Ohertoire de st. Cecilia" which was
the sixth number on the programme, but 70

The UniyersaI Sentiment.

"Say, young man." said brawny but
brilliant statesman from the far West, to a
representative of THE CRITIC, "You fel-
lows are just revolutionizing journalism in
Washington"
"Well, should remark" said the blush
ing young reporter, THAT'S what.we start
ed in to do"
'But," put in the distinguished Wester-
ner II mean to say, that THE CRITIC is
the best paper in Washington; in fact, the
only paper that dares publish all the
news.o
AT this point the statesman drew from
his pocket $3.50, and, handing it to the re-
porter said, "Send your paper to my ad-
dress for one year. want to read all the
news of the day, ana / find that The
CRITIC never fails to cater to the public in
terest." Another thing" continued the
statesman, II have noticed that THE
CRITIC always endeavors to connect with
the future--that is, it looks ahead-while
the Star has linked on to the dead past and
from present appearances, will stay there.
Do you 'ketch' on, my boy 2"
The reporter nodded an assent and left

patent suffrage.

This morning at 1890 o'clock the Senate
committee OH woman suffrage held meet
ing in the rooms Of the Committee on
Patents, and delegation of about twenty
petticoat politicians attended, and Senator
Lapham and Elizabeth Cady Stanton pre-
sided. 1t was matter of some inquiry
why the committee held its meeting in the
Patents Committeeman. The most salts.
factory answer to that question was made
by q Southern Senator. He said these
ladies have tried every other device to
secure the right of franchise, and had
failed, and he presumed they were now
trying to get patent on all the rights and
privileges vouchsafed TO the masculine
gender. This is new departure. Patent
Suffrage is good.
