An Improvement,

Work has been going on for some time
about the old Fall Mountain company's
buildings at the junction of Green and
Rockingham streets. The old stones
and iron scattered about the yard have
been picked up and the rotting lumber
left by the dissolution of the draw
through which the logs were formerly
taken from the river has been removed
1t is now stated that the plan is to tear
down the old unsightly buildings and
put the land on sale in building lots for
dwellings. The location is desirable and
there is no good reason why the lots
should not find a ready sale. The new
school house at the upper end of the vii
lage gives equally as good advantages
for educating small children as are now
enjoyed by those living farther down.
The carrying out of the plans will be an
Improvement all around.

The Old Homestead.

Denman Thompson's 8. Old Home

Thursday evening. The claim is made
that the sale of tickets was larger than
for any entertainment ever given in the
Opera House, not even excepting
Mary Howe's concert. A large number
came from out of town and the village
itself turned out in force. The play has
been before the public so long that it is
unnecessary to say anything in it's favor.
1t has been played in New York over
HOO nights, the card standing room
only'' being put out each night. The
play was thoroughly enjoyed here and
the company may be sure of warm
welcome if they ever come this way
again.

ArbOr Day,

Last Friday was celebrated all over
the state in accordance with the proclal
nation issued by the governor, as day
for setting trees and shrubs. In this viii
lage it was holiday for the schools.
Some trees were planted by the pupils
and many individuals followed the advice
of the governor and beautified their
grounds with trees, which, in years to
come will be welcome addition to the
material comforts of the place. The
people are becoming better educated in
this direction and each recurring Arbor
day will make the sentiment in favor of
tree planting still stronger. Though one
of the last states to swing into line and
adopt day for tree planting, Vermont
has been thoroughly in earnest and has
accomplished much. Let the good work
go on as long as time shall last.

Mr.. BLAlNE'S HEALTH.
Physicians Report That He is Not Seriously
Suffering.

Suffering.
BAR HARBoR, Me-, July 3.-Secretary
Blaine, although not feeling so well to-
day as yesterday, took a walk on
Main street ard his accustomed ride
from 11:3O until 1:3O. He is by no
means a we'll man, but there is no rea
son why he should not be we'll or
strong by autumn. Many false rumors
arise from the fact that the public did
not know how sick he was in New
York. Since his sickness there he has
steadily improved. Drawb backs have
not been for more than day or two in
duration.
Dr. Taylor, specialist in nervous
diseases, says his patient eats well,
sleeps we'll, has no organic disorder and
is rapidly recovering his usual health.
He takes no medicine whatever except
simple remedies to regulate digestion.
He has had no trace of the paralytic
affection from which he suffered three
years ago.
The principal benefit the physician.
can render the sick man is to encourage
him and tell him what to do. He gets
respondent with himself. His sickness
in New York was the result of over
work com bined with la grippe.
Notwithstanding the statements OF
his physician and the strenuous denials
of members of his family, many people
here believe Mr.. Blaine has broken
down so that he will never again engage
in active life, yet it is evident to every
one that he has improved since his ar

Is good number for hammock and
veranda reading for old and young, as
some OF the tempting titles show.
One of the interesting features is an
illustrated article concerning a famous
piece of the handiwork of one of Haw-
thorne's characters, Deacon Shem
Drowne," of the tale of brownies
Wooden Image the WIDE AWAKE arti-
Gle (in two parts) relates to "Ye Boston
Grasshopper," namely, the big gilded
creature which forms the Fapeuil Hall
weather-vane, and is written by Luz
cinda j. Gregg and Elizabeth Browne
Mcpherson, the latter a descendant OF
Hawthorne's Browne; it gives portraits
of the Grasshopper and of Peter Faneuil,
and views of the three Faneuil Halls.
Other interesting illustrated articles
are 'sAmy Robsart's Embroidery, and
the Gates of WARWICK and PUSSY in
Private Life" by Eleanor Lewis; no
table mention of notable cats of notable
people. There are two illustrated
stories, specially good reading for the
Fourth, 1.-The Anti-Boy Picnic,'' by
Helen A. HawIey. and ''The Rogues'
Path" by James Mckay, the latter a
historical tale of two plucky children.
The serials are of goodly length: Five
Little Peppers Grown Up:'' Miss Ma
tilda Archambeau Van Dorn,'' and the
Italian child-life serial. The short ten
minute articles include "a Rush
Light" by Amanda b. Harris, Sea
Daisies by Mary E Bamford, The
Chimney Swallow" by Rose Dalton,
''Horology Problems" by E. III. Haw1ey

would be sentenced was not gen.
orally known, so that when District
Attorney Graham arose to ask that SEN
tence be passed upon the prisoner there
were not more than fifty people in the
court room. The district attorney spoke
briefly. He denied Bardsley's conten-
ton, made in his statement to the court
a week ago. that the ex-treasurer had
not misappropriated a dollar. Mr..
Graham showed that by Bardsley's own
statement he must have appropriated
at least 1920, 600, as that amount was
required to be made good by his sure
ties. Mr.. Graham practically admitted
that Bardsley's declaration that he had
placed $945, 900 in the keystone bank,
taking due bills for the money, was
true, and that the money was deposited
in the bank. Although not able as yet
to specifically show where the money
had gone, Mr.. Graham said that Bards-
ley's embellishments would amount to
between $500, 900 and $780, 600.
Mr.. Alexander, counsel for Bardsley,
reviewed the statements made by his
client and appealed to the court for
mercy on the ground of Bardsley's plea
of guilty and his past services to the
city. Mr.. Alexander said that Bards-
icy uiO nOG SCC d uOi1dI VI CnS LAOuCy
he put into the keystone bank, and
that within two months it would be
shown who did. Mr.. Alexander vehe-
mently declared that his client had not
stolen a dollar. but that he had only
pleaded guilty to the statutory ofenses
of loaning, specializing with and re-
ceiving interest on the public funds.
While his counsel was speaking
Bradsley sat with bowed head, nerv-
ously tracing imaginary lines with the
back of pen upon the table before
him. With the exception of his
brother-in-law, not one of the hundreds
of friends that Bardsley had a year ago
were present when he rose to receive
the sentence of the court.
AS Bardsley got up Judge Wilson
motioned him to be seated while he de-
livered the lecture and words of adj
monition that a judge usually prefaces
a sentence with. Judge Wilson's Sc
we're words caused Bardsley the most
palpable distress. When Judge Wilson
spoke of the past friendship between
himself and the man awaiting his
sentence, Bardsley's hands opened and
shut convulsively, and his face flushed
and paled and his head sank upon his
breast.
The sentence of Judge Wilson was
that Bardsley undergo fifteen years
solitary confinement in the eastern
| penitentiary and that he pay fine in
the sum equal to the amount of his en-
bezzlement arising from the transac-
tions to which he pleaded guilty.
