Almost n Fatal Mistake and One
which Caused Suffering.

A son OF Mr.. John Ross, OF the National
Hotel, was the victim OF very serious mis-
take last night. He was rot feeling we'll, and
complained of 1t. His fat or went to drug
store and ordered four-grain quinine pill.
He took 1t homo and administered It to tine
boy.
The latter soon fell into deathly stupor. 1t
morphine instead OF quinine. Four physi-

boy until early this morning.
A note from the National Hotel at p. m, to.

'The youth, Louis Ross, is much better; in
fact, almost out OF danger.

Getting an Opera HOuse.

''If / had known" said Z. l.. HOvey
in his deepest voice Monday night il
opening the meeting to see about q
new hall on Railroad street, "that
was to have been reported so fully last
week, | should have been a little more
cautious what | said and l presume
some of You would have done the same.
But | am free to confess that | went
home perfectly Disguised with the
whole business. | couldn't account fOI
the sudden drop of interest and enthu-
siasm. Now, however, | understand it
and am glad to say that have here
tonight the paper which | forgot last
week"
The chairman then read the names
of those who agreed to take stock pro
viding that $4,000 was subscribed.
The whole amount was $1,000. B. G.
Howe moved that a committee be APP
pointed to solicit men to take stock.
The motion was carried.
"Unless objection is made" then
observed Chairman Hovey, 81 shall
appoint a committee to nominate this
committee
No objection was made and he APP
pointed Osborn Ward, William Daniels
and II. E. Woodruff. Mr.. Ward de-
clined and was excused by the chair
man. Mr.. Daniels declined to serve.
Il did not excuse Mr.. Ward because
of incapacity," remarked Mr.. HOvey
significantly, "but on account of his
age"
"Then | can get of, because of in
capacity" added Mr.. Daniels soto voce
The chairman gave up the attempt
to appoint Il nominating committee and
the soliciting committee was made W
by nomination. Sias Randall was
elected first on the committee and +.
l.. Hovey second. Mr.. HOvey de-
clined to serve, but his modest request
was not noticed b. G. Howe was
next chosen third.
"Now am willing to serve" Clipped
in the chairman. 81 had always sup
posed ! had considerable cheek till
this thing came up. But since we

Superintendent John 7. Wheeler of
the New England telephone and tele-
graph company has been in town the
past week fixing up arrangements to
connect with the Montpelier company
at Danville so as to give us a chance
to talk with Burlington and other
towns on the west side of the state
Mr.. Wheeler has arranged to have
poles enough got out to go to Dan
vile line, which will be set as soon as
possible and that breezy town is ex-
pected to set enough to strike the
Montpelier cOmpany's line at Cabot.
But the project will probably be car
ried out whether Danville is "patri-
otto" or not.
Mr.. Wheeler also made trip up
through Sheffield, Wheelock, Glover,
Irasburgh and Coventry and decided
to run line from the st. JOhnsbury
division to Newport if the towns will
supply enough poles to carry the wire
through their limits. The line would
thus touch the telegraph and railroad
ut each terminus and would be of con-
siderable benefit to the towns. The
New England telephone and telegraph
company is Il good deal of a monopoly,
controlling nearly all of the lines in
New England and all in Vermont ex
cept the Montpelier exchange, but it
has gained its hold by its great enter
prise, swallowing all rival companies.
Peacham has been talking telephone
somewhat of late and if those in favor
of the project mean business, this
company will probably give them a
line connecting at Danville, if they
will furnish the poles.

The Methodist Conference.

"This years conference at Mont
pelier April Is will be one of the most
important we have ever had, remarked
Rev. f. w. Culver, the well-informed
Methodist pastor, yesterday. at is
the centennial year of the organization
of the Methodist church in this country
and, of course, this important epoch
will be marked by special services.
Then this is the 5Oth anniversary of
our seminary at Montpelier and this
will be observed i'll connection with
conference. Special services will be
held and an effort will be made to give
the school lift. Funds will be raised
to make its 50th anniversary memora-
BILE one in the history of the seminary.
"Then it will be an important duty
for this conference to choose lay dele
gates to the general conference. The
Burlington district contention will also
come up. You see that district was
assigned to the Vermont conference re-
Gently and some of them wish to get
back under the Troy jurisdiction. This
matter will probably be settled this
year.
'No, very few preachers in this dis
trict have held their positions three
years. There is only one in this sec
ton, if l remember rightly, Mr.. Blake
at Irasburg. There was a pretty
thorough overhauling two years ago.
But there are, of course, liable to be
changes this year, although not so i'm
portant perhaps as i'll the Montpelier
district. There length of service will
necessitate changes at Montpelier,
Waterbury, Barre, Waitsfield, Chelsea
and other places. We are congratulate
ing ourselves now to think we are to
have an opportunity to hear Bishop
Simpson, our most eloquent pulpit
orator, who will preside over the
conference"

Miss Towne's school closed on
Thursday of last week and Misses
Burns's and Commits on Friday. There
were some public exercises in the af
ternOon on each day ut which large
number of the parents and friends of
the schools were present. There were
few recitations, but the entertain
ment was largely singing by the
children. This is the second year that
vocal music has been taught in the
public schools, and although the com
mittee adopted the measure with some
fear and trembling" the result has
been highly satisfactory in every way.
Miss Laura Brooks has been the teacher
in this department and the exhibition
Friday showed how. rapidly children
learn this accomplishment and how
, faithful the instruction has been. The
schools in all their departments show
excellent work on the part of teachers.
aud the public are fortunate i'll having
"A board Of instruction so thorough and
IA committee which takes so much in
terest in and labors so hard for the
schools.
