presented in Congress as any other State.
Decided two to one in favor of the affirm
alive. The paper gotten out by Editor
Hutchinson and his efficient corps OF as
sistants was one of the best of the year.
The H. s. Quartette was called upon four
times to sing. Probably the largest au-
dience OF the year was present.
Glass Day will be Thursday evening, the
2sth, instead of Tuesday as previously an.
nounced.
The class has chosen c. H. Pratt, Matte
Holdridge and A. E. Carleton to take
charge of the extra tickets controlled by
the class.
There seems to be a misunderstanding
among the alumni in regard to the alumni
seats. When the class set aside seats Tor
the graduates it was not expected that any
member of the class would be called upon
by any of their alumni friends for tickets
nor would they feel compelled to give
them seats. The graduates viii please re-
member that theycannot depend upon any
of the class for tickets. Good seats will
be retained for them on application.
The High School nine had game with
the first nine last Friday p. m. Both teams
played well. Score 10 to in favor OF the
West Randolphs.
Rev. V. NJ. Hardy will deliver the class
sermon before the class next Sunday at
the usual hour of morning service.

white River Valley Q. e. Union.

The quarterly convention OF the White
River Valley G. f. Union met with the
Christian and Cong'l societies in West
Randolph Saturday, May IS. The con.
vention was to have been held with these
societies at their last meeting but owing
to the repairs on the Cong'l church 1t was
postponed. Notwithstanding the rain
nearly all the societies were represented
by delegates. The morning session was
held in the Christian church and the
meeting was opened by a fifteen minute
praise service led by Rev. Mr.. Wright OF
Bethel followed by prayer by the Presi-
dent of the Union, y. W. McCollum of W.
Randolph. Business was then taken up,
the Secretary's report read and accepted
and the roll call of the societies compos-
ing the Union was responded to by all
but four with good reports. Norwich
still leads as the banner society having on
its roll 70 members. The societies at So.
Royalton and So. STAFFORD having asked
for admission to the union were admitted
by unanimous vote. Mrs Tewksbury Of
the Christian church choir then rendered
a solo in very pleasing manner. The
regular program was taken up as follows:
Miss E. Ferrin OF Randolph and Mr..
Ward OF Royalton participated in the dis
cussion Show can we interest our mem
beers in systematic Bible study" and Rev
ii. M. Perkins OF Sharon gave an address
on "Faithfulness the best test of Enthu-
siasm. The afternoon session was held in
the auditorium of the Cong'l church. The
resignation of Miss Mary S. Hazen as Sec
OF the Union which had been rendered in
the morning was taken up for action. The
committee consisting of Revs. Morrow
and Wright, which was appointed by the
Pres. to fill the vacancy reported the name
OF Miss Mabel j. Smith of W. Randolph as
Miss Hazen's successor andshe was elected.
In accordance with motion by Rev. Mr..
Wright vote of thanks was extended to
the ex-Sec. for her faithful work in the
past. Fred Mcintosh and Grace Lamson
rendered pieces in very pleasing and dis
tinct manner. Chas- f. Wood OF the
Cong'l church sang a solo. Mrs. Geo.
Slack of Randolph read a very interesting
paper on ssW hatsoevers" and Mrs w. F.
Stearns of Hartford read paper on ssMis-
sioDary Work" The address of the after
noon was delivered By Rev. G. w. Nor
row of West Randolph on ssThe Eze and
lie of the Christian Endeavoru Rev. Mr..
Hazen Of Hartland who, with his daugh-
ter IS soon to go to India, gave the dele
gate some splendid Thoughts to carry
home" But the one feature of both
the morning and afternoon session was
the half hour conservation service at the
close of the convention. There were 81
responses. The societies of both churches
had provided a bountiful repast which
was served in the Cong'l vestries to which
the delegates and other friends were in
vited. At the close of the supper. the
order Mr.. Morrow presided as toastmas-
ter and toasts on various subjects were
responded to by a large number. The
convention was thorough success both
as to attendance and good received there

Chas. w. Rumrill OF Brookfield sent a
registered letter to party in this village
some time ago which he claimed contained
a sum OF money. When it was opened
none was fornd in it, The case was at
once reported to the postofice authorities
and an inspector sent here who made a
thorough investigation and being salts
fled that no money had ever been put in
the letter by Mr.. Rumrill, U. S. Marshal
Amsden was ordered to arrest him, which
he did and took him TO Burlington. He
was there examined and bound over for
trial, failing to get bail. He is in Jail at
Burlington. The department has much

who claim to send money in letters in
which none is ever sent, and they propose
TO make an example OF this. This is about
the meanest kind OF small frauds and it is

more than you do, even if you know
nothing about the race yourself 1t
is safe to say your informant knows
nothing about it either. He may
think be does, but the chances are
that he does not, just the same.
"For my part I don't see half a
dozen races in a year and know
practically nothing about such mat
ters, yet the only times Lever won
any money was by luck pure and
