"The world Against Herr as Pre-
dueed by the GriSmers.

sfThe world Against Ker'' as Pro-
dueed by the GriSmers.
Frank Harvey's 6-act modern melo'
drama, The World against Her, was pro.
duced last night at the Grand Opera
House by Mr.. Joseph Grismer, Miss
Phoebe Davies and their company. An
analysis of the play was given in the
HERALD yesterday. 1t is strong play,
quite cleverly put together, and afford.
in great deal OF scope for good acting.
Thereis is nothing new in the story of the
falsely suspected wife, the stolen child,
the victim Of a villains passions, the shame
of an old man over his daughters fall,
the doings of gang of thieves and
counterfeiters. But these really redund-
ant materials are woven cleverly to-
gether so as to make an interesting
story. Nor ia the dramatic side of art
sighted. There are thrilling escapes,
desperate encounters and exciting epi-
sodes in all the acts. The play is too
long, and it is divided into more acts
than are necessary. Where there are
six shifts of scene it makes a long play
and many tedious waits, however well
up in their work the scenemen may be-
Then there is greater effort made by the
playwright to produce telling general
effects than there is attention given to
details.
Mr.. Grismer, as "James Carlton" has
a cast that fits him to perfection, and he
makes the most of the opportunities pre-
santed. Miss Davies, as his falsely sus-
pected wife, does q very pathetic part
with much feeling and discrimination.
The Punch and Judy show gives scope
for much comedy work of no mean order,
and the street fight in Whitechapel is far
from bad. Miss Archer. as "Jenny
Clegg," does not add to the production
from an artistic standpoint. Her decla-
nation is worse than bad. She is comely,
pretty, but she has no semblance of feel
ing or fire. Her delivery is monotone.
The play holds the boards all the rest
of the week excepting at the Saturday
matinee, when Forgiven will replace it.

To-day the sale of seats for Irme Kiral-

kind has never been produced in this

A DIRECTORY OF ST. JoHNsBURY.

As heretofore announced in these
columns, H. B. Davis is preparing to
issue a directory of ST. Johnsbury,
and has already done considerable of
the preliminary work No directory
of the town has been issued for near
ly three years, and the necessity of a
new-one is every day apparent. Mr..
Davis has already issued two direc-
tories of the place in years past, and
this, together with the fact that he
has lived here % years or more, quail
ifies him for the work. We mention
this matter again now, as it has
been announced that a stranger is
looking over the town with a view
of getting out directory. There are
two things evident: The town does
not need two directories; it does need
one Nnd that a reliable one. A di-
rect. !, gotten up by outside parties
woaf6 most likely be practically
worthless, as it would be unreliabl
and misleading. That has been the
experience of this and other towns in
the years past. 1t cannot be other
wise. All a stranger cares for it is to
get pay for lot of lads" and get
out of town. The names which he
collects together and by courtesy
calls directory are simply the means
to float his ads, that is all.

THE SCHOOL MONEY DIVIDED.

The selectmen have made the an
nual division of the school money
and the total amount divided was
$4S1O.17. Of this sum $50 was re-
ceived from land rents, $35O.36 in
terest on public money, $213.O1 is
the towns share of the Huntington
fund, and the balance was - per
cent of the state tax, or $4196. 80.
BY the new law if this amount ex-
ceeds $4,000, of such sum 5000 shall
be divided among the school districts
in each town equally. The old law
provided for the division of one-third
of the public money in each district
equally Each whole district last
year received SOL 20, while this year
they only get $5s.51 apiece. The
smaller school districts will have to
increase their school tax to make up
for this deficiency, and the new law
will have tendency to equalize the
school tax throughout the different
districts.
After deducting the 5000, the bal
ance, $391O.17, was divided on the
basis of attendance at the schools
The Union school district had an ag-
gregate attendance of Ill ,329 and
received $2723. 81. Adding to this it's
share of the 5000, or $175.53, the
total received was $2S99.O4, or
$423 more than last year. Summer
vile reported an aggregate attend
ance of 21 800 and gets, beside her
$5S.51, the sum of $523.2S, or a
total of $5S1.79. In the following
table the first column of figures gives
the number of the district, the second
column gives the district S proportion
of the 5000, the third gives the dis
tribution on the basis of attendance,
and the last column the total receiv-
ed. Districts 7, II, 13 and IA are
fractional districts.

RECENT DEATHS.
Burnham.

B. D. Burnham died at his home on
Main street last Friday night, in his
S1st year. Mr. Burnham was born
in Franconia, n. H., where he lived
until about 1857, when he removed
to ST. Johnsbury. He used to run a
blast furnace at his native place, and
was engaged in the manufacture of
Franconia cast iron, brand of very
fine quality that was driven out of
the market by cheaper grades, man.
ufactured on a larger scale. Mr..
Burnham drove through the north
ern part of Vermont and New Hamp
shire in those days, selling Franconia
workers. The little supply that he
brought f. &. T. Fairbanks & Co.
in the '4Os would last them several
weeks Coming to ST. Johnsbury 82
years ago he worked in the old forge
room at the scale works. In 1866
he went into the grocery business on
the Plain, and kept small stock at
the old stand until the time of his
death. About a year ago he had a
severe attack of pneumonia, from
which he never fully recovered, and
he had been confined to his bed since
last March Brief funeral services
were held here Saturday, and the re-
mains were taken to the family lott in
Franconia on Sunday. He buried
two wives in Franconia, and in 1864
married Mrs. Mary M. Knapp, who
still survives him. He left four sons,
F. A., of Concord, n. H., George c.,
of this place, c. H., of San Jose, Cal,
and William E. of this place, and two
daughters, Miss Josie Burnham of
this place and Mrs. c. S. Conant of

ACCIDENT AT NEWPORT.

The mail train South was an hour
late Tuesday morning on account of
an accident at Newport. The Ex-
press tells the story as follows: A
lucky break occurred at the depot,
perhaps saving serious accident.
Just as the mail train started, or at
tempted to start from the depot the
journal of one of the main drive
wheels broke short off and the train
did not move. 1t was an old break,
just holding by narrow rim, and
could not have given out in a better
place, or at more favorable time
1t took some time to disconnect the
rods and let the disabled wheel drop
out; then a sound engine was at
tached and the train moved safely on
after an hours delay.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

The directors of the county fair
met on Saturday, and their most i'm
portant action was to change the
time of the fair from four days as first
voted, to three days. The fair comes
the week after the state fair, or Sept
10, II and 12 On the second and
third days there will be balloon as
tensions, an attraction that will be
sure to draw large crowds Moore
and Hastings will have their big cat
tie on exhibition, which are said to
weigh 5000 pounds, or 500 pounds
more than when last shown here.
Dow Brothers will exhibit their three
year-old steers, which weigh about
one half as much as the big oxen. A
novel feature for everybody will be
the game of pigs in clover" with
live pigs to be driven into the pen
The directors also voted to Join the
American trotting association, a
step which insures some frst-class
races without fooling or jockeying

A BOSTON LADY HURT.

A. G. Bartlett and family of Bos-
ton, who are driving through this
state to their summer home in New
port, reached Fairbanks village Mon
day evening. 1t was just after six
O'Clock, when there was a switching
engine at the scale works, and the
Maquam express was coming down
the main track Their horses were
somewhat frightened, and Mrs Bart
lett, fearing a runaway, quickly
jumped from the carriage and broke
her ankle The horses were soon
quieted down, and Mrs. Bartlett
was taken to the St. Johnsbury
House. 1t was bad break and she
was otherwise bruised. The party
dined at Barnet that afternoon, and
waited there until all the trains had
gone by. Then they drove to this
place, where they unexpectedly met
what they had planned to avoid.
Mrs. Bartlett is as comfortable as
could be expected, has good courage,
but will of necessity be confined here
for some weeks. us ..,....t

THE TOWNS AROUND.
LYNDONVILLE.
Taken Back to IaiI.

This community has been quite
stirred up this week over the arrest
of George Gour, which took place
last Monday evening Deputy Sher-
iff Smead of Greenfield, Mass, ar
rived here about 9 O'Clock in the
evening and arrested Gour for break
ing Jail at Greenfield about thirteen
months ago. He was serving a SEN
tence of a year for adultery and at
the time of his escape had served two
months.
The story of his life the past two
years is an interesting one. Two
years ago his home was at South
Royalton where he lived with his
wife and children. He ran away
from there with another mans wife
and the couple were arrested and
tried at Greenfield, Mass, for adul-
terry. Both were sentenced to one
year in the Franklin county Jail at
that place. He was at work in the
jail yard two months after his SEN
tence when he made his escape and
went to Canada. The woman served
out her sentence in the meantime.
Gour's family moved to Lyndonville
within the past year and he came
down from Canada and was employ
ed by the railroad company as sec
ton boss His relations with his
family here were pleasant and no one
knew his past history, though it is
now recalled that he dropped the
remark to one of his superiors when
he began work that he did not want
to work down the line as he had a
little trouble once down there and
White River Junction people might
recognize him. The detectives tracked
him, however, and he was taken
back to Jail Monday night. His
family here consist of a wife, a girl
about 10 and boy five years old.
Miss Lillian Badger has been visit
ing at Newport.
Mr.. and Mrs. Badger and daugh-
ter, Maude, went to Barre Saturday

odist church gave literary and mu-
sical entertainment in their chapel

band which now has II members.
The village tax is 40 cents on the
dollar, and the school tax 80 cents.
Last year the two taxes were each
Is cents on the dollar. The increase
of the village tax is to raise money
to pay for the village hall, while the
school tax is more as last years tax
for twelve months was not enough
to pay for the Is months required by
the new law.

Farming and Breeding at "The Null"
"The Null" which is Icelandic for
"the face of the hill'' is the name of
the fertile stock farm of L. B. Harris
At this season of any year all his
crops look well, but this years crops
are better than ever owing to the
constant rains. The grain crop will
exceed last years yield and Mr. Har-
ris expects to harvest 500 tons of
hay or so tons more than last sea-
son. With force of six men in the
morning and seven in the afternoon
So tons of hay were housed here one
day last week This is a remarkable
days work but a force of IS men
housed 80 tons of hay in one day last
season. Last Monday 81 tons were
slowed away and there were over
1000 cocks of hay out that night.
Mr.. Harris does not believe it pays
to use hay caps for SO large farm
usefulness anywhere.
A new invoice of Shropshire sheep
has arrived at "The Null from Eng
land consisting of 13 ewes and one
buck The ewes are from the oldest
flock in England and were winners
at the Royal show. Mr. Harris will
exhibit his cattle and sheep at our
county fair, state fair at Burlington,
Maine state fair at Lewiston, Bay
state fair at Boston, New England
fair at Worcester and four or five
places not yet decided on. AS some
of these fairs occur at the same time
he will have two strings of stock and
two gangs of men Mr.. Harris has
never been beaten on herds or bulls
in all his exhibits. He has much
competition in the New England and
Maine state fairs. particularly in
Herefords In last years circuit his
stock captured over $1,000 in premi-
ums The imported Shropshire buck
Felix, took $1O4 and the Hereford
bull, Hubert, took the first premi-
ums wherever he went. At the New
