POLICE COURT RECORD.

Bratteboros phenomenal record for so
briefly and good order has, unfortunately,
not been maintained during the past few
days. three offenders-more than are some
times arrested in six Notwithstanding been
prosecuted.
On Saturday Vim. Metty, the Elliot street
barber. was arrested for drunkenness and
arraigned before Justice Newton. He
pleaded guilty and was mulcted to the
amount of So and costs, amounting to
S9.5l. He disclosed that he bought the
liquor of the notorious and malodOrous
Watson 5. French of North Hinsdale, who
brought it to Metty's house. Metty and
his wife swOre positively to six offences.
A warrant was issued for French's arrest.
He appeared in Brattleboro on Monday
and was promptly apprehended by Officer
Mcclure. On being arraigned before Mr..
Newton he pleaded not guilty, but the six
offences were proved, and he was therefore
sentenced to pay fine of 5000 and costs,
with the alternative sentence of imprison-
ment. On one occasion Metty sent TO the
island TO procure liquor of French. Several
other disclosures have recently been made,
to the effect that liquor was bought of
French at his house at North Hinsdale, but
eases like these are of course out of the
jurisdiction of Vermont officers.
Michael Hennessey, who has bad record
for so young man, was again arrested on
Sunday night. On being arraigned on
Monday he pleaded guilty to a third offence
of intoXication, and was sentenced to pay
fine of $50 and costs, or a total of so. IS,
and to two months Imprisonment in the
house of correction at Rutland.

A CHANGE NEEDED

The citizens of Brattleboro are usually
abreast with the times and are considered
thoroughly civilized, nay, even more, re-
fined and Intellectual and yet some things
are permitted that are far removed from
civilization and refinement. We think
there are but few civilized communities
that enjoy (?) the spectacle that is offered
the residents of this place who happen to
live or visit certain portions of Canal and
Brook streets on warm DAYS.
In plain sight of the women in sitting
room or kitchen are motley set of boys of
all ages dressed in natures own costume.
The color of the stark naked fellows show
the need of prolonged bath and their Ian
guage is often such as to lead the unwilling
listener TO suppose that something more
than water would be needed to cleanse
their tongues. Now three things are GER
tain.
LIST. The boys ought to have safe,
suitable place TO battle.
I'd. There ought to be enough self re-
spect in the boys to prevent their publicly
exposing themselves.
Sd. There ought to be a willingness on
the part of our town authorities to sup
press such disgraceful displays.
Why can't we have public bath house
as Springfield and other river towns have?
Milestone brook in which they now
battle receives filth and sewerage all the
way from the West village to its mouth
and few men would care to take plunge
in it.
Shall we have public bath house?
Many will contribute toward it, We await
suggestions.

THE GooDHUE-EvANs WEDDING

\ charming June wedding was that of Francis
Goodhue, jr., now member of the firm of Stokes
Brothers of Philadelphia, and Miss Elizabeth Cope
Evans, at the home of the brides parents in that
city on Wednesday. The Evans mansion was
decked with a wealth of roses and other beautiful
flowers. The ceremony was of the Quaker order,
Miss Evans ancestors for many generations hav-
ing been QuaRers This ceremony combines sim
plicity with great impresSiveness. The wedding
guests took their places in the parlOr facing
bay window in which were the two chairs for the
bridal couple The immediate relatives of Miss
Evans were gathered ON her side, and those #
Mr. GOOdhue on his, and place arranged for the
six trademarks in the bay window in the rear
of the bridal seats. After prolonged silence the
bridesmaids appeared, each dressed in white and
carrying large bunch of sweet peas The bride
and groom followed all took their places, and
quiet reigned again After a short time the bride
and groom arose, and joining their right hands
plighted their troth and sat down, A table was
then brought in bearing the marriage certificate
which was signed by the contracting parties
This was handed TO a minister of the Quaker
order who read il with the signatures, as a com
pleted fact, After brief period of silence prayer
was offered by the groom's pastor, Rev. c. O.
Day, and the Quaker minister Another interval
Of silence followed and then the bridal company
arose and proceeded to another apartment fol
lowed in a short time by those present for the
purpose Of congratulation. AfterWard an elegant
collation. was served in the dining hail and on the
spacious pazzas of the Evans mansion. From
to O'Clock large company of friends called.
many OF them dressed III Ilcl, nut simple Quaker
costumes and Others In ordinary dress. Al 430
MIR. Goodhue and his bride drove away, followed
by the good wishes and merry shouts of the COM
pany, who shOWered rose leaves and rice unOn
them. Before returning to Philadelphia Mr.. and
Mrs. Goodhue will make visit TO Mr.. Goodhue's

present. After wedding journey Mr.. and Mrs.
GoOdhue will live in Philadelphia, where their

Nothing more beautiful and ideal in Young
womanhOOd says one who was present can be
imagined than the appearance, expression and
spirit of the bride while the manly seriousness of
Mr.. GOodhue could but impress the witnesses
with the deep sense of the solemnity of the cere-
mony 1t should be said that every guest was re-
quested to sign the certificate and their names are
not only recorded in that instrument but are to
be transcribed upon the books of the Friends
meeting.

IN THE FOREMOST RANK.

From the Boston Traveller of June Z
The portraits by Robert Gordon Hardie, which
still continue on exhibition in the art gallery of
Doll a Richards. are strong examples of the pos
sihilities in portraiture and it is especially graft
flying to become convinced that artistic ability
exists that does sacrifice the individuality Of
the subject in order to produce pleasing effects
That Mr.. Hardes portraits possess this essential
quality, which is SO often lacking is evident from
the first glance at these different paintings.
The men who are represented show forth the
characteristics that make them unlike their fell
lows, and so strong is the personality of each that
one instinctively realizes the unusual power of
the artist in delineating character. The five por-
traits may be called five types, and in the coun-
terfeit of Col Oliver W. Peabody, of the firm of
kidder, Peabody a Co., is presented the typical
banker while Mr.. A. s. Wheeler the we'll known
lawyer, of the firm of Hutchins a Wheeler, looks
out from the frame with the same lfe-like express
sion, indicative of keen insight, that stamps him
al once as a member of the legal profession
The schoolmaster is forcihly presented in the
likeness of Mr.. james A Page, principal Of the
Dwight school, and the military man appears in
the portrait of Gen. Abbott of the United States
Engineer corps, while the fifth painting of Mr.
Frank Merriam, is no less representative than
the others The flesh tones are admirable and
the positions natural and easy, being less char
acter1stic than the expressive cOuntenances That
Mr.. Hardie has obtained an extended recognition
which places him in the foremost rank among
portrait painters of our day is conclusive evidence
that just appreciation of talent is sometimes ac-
corded
