"a SILVER CROWN"

St. Johnsbury people passed two
hours very enjoyably at Music hall
on Friday evening last with Rev.
Russell H. Conwell, on the occasion
of that ;lecturer's third visit to this
place. The speakers theme was GA
Silver Crown, or Born King" and
he made mastery plea for the culti-
walton of the habit of observation.
Referring at the start to a beautiful
Eastern legend regarding the selec-
ton of a king-to the effect that he
only whom the animals follow, the
sun serves, the water obeys and all
mankind love" was fit to wear the
silver crown-the lecturer eloquently
and entertainingly set forth the op-
portunities for usefulness and the
acquisition of wealth that come to
the man or woman who notices the
small things and heeds the lessons to
be learned therefrom. The lecture
abounded in striking illustrations
that served to emphasize the points
made, and many a good story was
told that was weighty in meaning
Incidentally the speaker paid his re-
spects to the poor cook and the poor
orator, and laid considerable stress
opon the difference between oratory
and elocution. The real kings and
queens, he said, were to be found
among the people who notice what
there is about them and, having
noticed, make effective use of what
they see and hear.
The greeting which Mr.. Conwell re
ceived was unmistakably cordial
and the large audience followed him
intently from point to point of hi:
lecture. He kept them in excellent
spirits throughout, and sent then
home with possibly better idea o

The new postal cards are out, in
two sizes, one considerably larger
than the old sort, for business
purposes exclusively, and the other
smaller for ladies' use. The stock
used is better than that in the old
cards, and altogether this new
departure of the postal authorities
will prove generally satisfactory.

RECENT DEATHS.

On the oath of april, 1890, Mrs.
Lodoska Ide celebra ted, with her hus-
band and friends, at Passumpsic, the
Goth anniversary of her marriage;
early on Saturday morning last this
venerable woman passed peacefully
away, at the residence of her grand
daughter, Mrs. Geo. M. Gray, of
Spring street. Mrs. Ide was in her
Seth year, and the prevailing epi-
dernic. attacking her, found her, as
it has found many an old person in
these latter days, With not constltu-
tional strength enough to resist Its
weakening influence. She was born
in Waterford, and in 1880 was mar
ried to Jacob Ide and began house
keeping in the house in which the
sixtieth anniversary was celebrated.
Mrs. Ide was one of the Oldest
members of the North church,
her membership there covering
period of nearly 81 years. Besides
her aged husband three sons survive
her-Horace K, Elmore T. and
Henry c. Ide; also a sister, Mrs.
Lauraette Bingham, who is herself
quite i'll at present.
HaIIett.
Mrs Statira Hallett died Tuesday
evening, Jan. 5, at the Centre, having
been i'll with pneumonia for about
two weeks; although she was not
considered out of danger, her death
was quite unexpected at the time.
Mrs. Hallett was born in Sheffield,
and in early life removed with her
parents to Danville, from which
| town she came at her marriage, to
the house in which she lived until her
death, period of 47years. Funeral
services were held on Friday, the Sth,
her 6Sth birthday. Previous to her
illness she had planned to have a
family reunion at her home upon
that day. Mrs. Hallett was a sister
of DIR. Charles Hall of St. Johnsbury.
She leaves a husband and one son
by whom she will be greatly missed
and also by neighbors and friends.
ShufeIt
Mrs Helen NJ, wife Of Joseph G.
Shufelt, died on Monday evening OF

the grip and was getting along very
comfortably until heart failure set in
on Monday. She was So years old

Business at the town agency has

Business at the town agency has
been very good since the grip took
hold here, and R. c. Howe. who pre-
sides over that institution, has been
exceedingly busy answering the calls
"for medicinal purposes only" The
notion that alcoholic stimulants
must be resorted to in such cases is
not altogether in harmony with GER
tain high authority published in a
recent CALIFORNIAN, and doubtless
there have been not a few imposi-
tions on the agency under the cover
of the omnipresent grippe.

The Dusty Streets.

Editor Morning NeUs: Will you allow
me little space in your valuable paper to
ask pertinent question, viz: Why do the
city authorities not enforce the ordinances
relating to the watering Of street railway
tracks
The car track running the length of
Liberty street is never watered nor sprinkled.
Surely there s an ordinance compelling %
the street railways to water between their
tracks.
And while this administration Is enforc-
ing all the laws and ordins ices they should
surely make it point to enforce this one
on Liberty street, which, with proper care
and attention, could be made as beautiful
and attractive a street as there is Ia the
United States, barring none. As it is now
the street railway Is inexcusably allowed to
detrhct from or mar the beauty of Liberty
street, which the city and the people living
along the street have been at a great
expense to beautify or improve.
Another question: Why be so diligent in
the watering OF the shelled streets and so dila-
tory in enforcing the ordinance for the sup
preston OF one Of the greatest nuisanoes.
namely, dust on our finest streetsl Instead
OF being proud Of our asphalted streets we
asphelted streets, fanked with duet
smothered lawns, and the dust,
il not in whole, 10 great part, anyhow is
raised by ye flying street car. And right
here the city has chance to improve on
the present appearance OF the streets, with
out a cent OF expense to the city, and if
there is one thing the taxpayer appre>
ciates 10 is to see the city beautified with
no cost to him, and certainly no injustice TO
the street railways, who, if they did not
like the conditions, were under no obliga-
lions TO build their roads. ,"JUsTIIIA."

A. c. Soper Of the Macon, Dublin and Sa-
vannah railroad spent yesterday in the
the city. President Wright said last night
that the Macon, Dublin and Savannah Is
doing well, aud had largely increased its
earnings this season over last. The belief Is
that the Macon and Atlantic railroad, which
was bought in by Mr. John r. Young
last week for the creditors will be built
from Dublin to Savannah and operated in
connection with the Macon. Dublin and Sa-
vannah. President Wright said that no
arrangements of this kind have been made
yet. Either this will be done or the Macon,
Dublin and Savannah will purchase the
Macon and Atlantic and extend 1t to Sd
