IT was decided that on Monday, November
q, the capital shall be turned inside out,
and that the wekin shall ring with Grow
erian shouts and Stevensonan howls.
THE Chautauquans met with Mrs l.. p.
Gleason, on Friday and listened to lee
ture on Greece, delivered by j. A. DeBoer.
| Although the class is made up entirely of
the sex credited with reserviug this particu-
lar form of oratory for themselves, their
proficiency in the art added to their firm
conviction that they deserved good lee
ture," only heightened their appreciation of
! what proved to be very good one indeed.
The class feel grateful to Mr.. DeBoer for so
| kindly interesting himself in their work,
| and hope that, at some future date, he can
be persuaded TO give them a talk upon an
other of the many topics upon which he can
so ably discourse.
Mrs. PORTER from Maine gave an address
at the Methodist church, Wednesday even
ing, setting forth the objects of the nom
partisan Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. The meeting was largely attended
and Mrs. Porter's address was heard with
great interest. The following resolutions
were adopted: Q) To continue work to Sc
| cure total abstinence in the individual and
! legal prohibition, state and national; (2)
condemnng and opposing all attempts to
replace the prohibitory law with a high
license law (3) protesting against the sale
! of alcoholic drinks at the Columbian Expo
sition; (4) deprecating the extension of the
right of suffrage to ignorant people, male or
female, native or foreign.
SOME twenty Vermont newspaper men
met at the Pavilion Friday evening to con-
slider the matter of making its next annual
excursion to the Worlds Fair. PROPOSE
ton from the Raymond people was submit
ted to take the Vermont editors and their
families to Chicago, keep them there one
week and return them to their homes for
500 each-the price comprising all outgoes
the grounds. The impression of many of
the editors and publishers was that the
price covered too many extras and luxuries.
The visitor to Chicago will take in the great
| show at much more modest figures, travel
well and fare sumptuOusly. The matter was
left with the executive committee, but the
month of May was voted to be the time
to go.
The graduating class of 1892, fall term,
were escorted to Rutland, Thursday, by
Sheriff Howe and assistants. William
Miller is removed from our gaze for one
| year, j. A. LOcklin for a similar term and
$500 fine, Jacob Robinson for sixty days,
with fine, Jonathan O'Grady for thirty
days and $500 fine, w. p. Reed for eight
months and $500 fine, and Charles Spaul-
ding for nine months and $500 fine. 1t is
! stated that Spaulding, on the arrival of the
train at Burlington, refused to go any fur
ther In the struggle that ensued, Deputy
Sheriff Heath of Burlington took hand,
said hand being badly chewed up by Spaul-
ding, who was jagged up to his ears. 1t is
to be regretted that the graduating class
may not take part in the coming democratic
celebration
DIR. BoYNToN entertained a large audi
ence in representatives hall Thursday
evening with the story of his travels From
Marathon to Waterloo" The doctor spent
some six months in Europe last year and
during his journeyings went over the route
indicated by the subject of his address. He
is an entertaining speaker, with an easy
flow of language, and the fields of Marathon
and Waterloo, with erincidents of storied
interest, appeal very strongly to his svmpa-
thies and stir his enthusiasm, He de-
scrib d very graphically the field ofM irathon
and the memorable contest there back in
the distant ages of time He showed from
what condition of society was evolved the
spirit and patriotism that made 10000
Greek soldiers the conquerors of a vast
Persian army. So to Waterloo the doc
tors course was full of old historic incident.
To see and hear one who had himself come
fresh from the great historic fields was like
seeing the famous localities with ones own
eyes.
THERE was Joy in great chunks around
the Argus Office last Tuesday evening. The
local clans gathered to learn the fate of the
democracy, and unfortunately nothing came
over the wires to check their gladstone JOY.
Bill Standish held down his accustomed
cndlr anu the OJner Olu - regulars were
in their usual places. The welkin rang
when the first dispatch arrived, and when
news that Illinois had gone to the bow
vows was received the democratic counte-
nances glistened with an unctuous Joy
Several kerosene barrels belonging to f. ID.
Dewey were captured and touched off near
the Wells River depot, while jag after jag
wandered up the street singing maudlin
campaign songs and My Sweetheart's the
Man in the Moon" But all this will prob
ably pale into insignifcance next Monday
Among the features arranged for are Ben
Hur chariot race, several correct imita-
tons of a ton of coal, and several kegs of
nails. The wildcat drum corps, twenty
pieces, is coming over from Littleton, N
H. to assist in raising,the lower regions, and
seven or eight baudS will rip the circum-
