tainment for strangers at the recent
knights Templar conclave at Denver,
and was very successful. He purposes
carving on a similar enterprise at
the Worlds Fair, and the income
from that source will be devoted to
missionary work. Comfortable en-
tertainment will bea thing that visit

reap a bountiful harvest if he carries
out his hospitable designs.
Some of our people seem not to
understand exactly the hours at
which the Athenaum is open; and
for their benefit and the information
of strangers we would say that the
Athenaum is never closed at noon,
that it is open every week day from 9
a. m. to p. m, and that the Art
Gallery is open to visitors during any
of the library hours, although in
winter it is heated only two days in
the week-Tuesday and Friday. The
library is also open Tuesday and
Saturday evenings from Z to 9 p. m.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

L. B. Hartshorn of Summer street
met with distressing accident the
other day. Moving about among
the timbers of a building he is repair
ing, he stepped on a rusty nail, which
penetrated his foot to a considerable
distance-going nearly through,
in fact-and injuring him so
that he was unable to leave his bed
for several days. At last accounts,
however, he was improving and in a
fair way to recover completely.

The Home Team Defeated in Loose
Game, to L.

The Home Team Defeated In a Loose
Game, foI.
FVe are playing this game" curtly
replied member Of the St. Johns
bury team on Tuesday, when asked
if it was wise to take so many
chances against big odds. But he
was wrong. St. Johnsbury never
did less ball playing than with the
Lebanons on that day, and could
not expect to win on any such record.
Outside of Shufelt's excellent work in
the box and couple of double plays,
interesting features were scarce, and
it became evident early in the game
that the home team was decidedly
off. The two regularly chosen, but
rather weak, umpires were generous
ly assisted by three or four players
on each side, and as for coachers-
the field was full of them. In con-
trast with the splendid work done in
the previous game on the campus,
this one was decidedly wearisome,
neither team showing to advantage.
Lebanons 5-St. Johnsburys o.
A still worse fate fell to the lot of
the St. Johnsburvs in yesterdays
game, and not a run did they make.
They were unable to find the ball,
while the visitors scored one in the
first inning, two in the fifth and two
in the 7th. Meigs' work in left field
cut off several runs and was appre-
ciated; Bannan covered first base
and Tuxbury second. The home
team was decidedly weak at the bat,
and Shufelt was hit freely. St. Johns
bury needs reinforcement to do any
thing with a professional team like
the Lebanons

LOCAL POLITICS.

The republican caucus to nominate
a town representative will be held in
Town Hall next Saturday afternoon
at $50. Besides the two candi-
dates mentioned in our previous issue,
Hon. Henry c. Ide and Capt. P. D.
Blodgett, the names of Delos M
Bacon and W. P. Stafford have also
been mentioned for the place.
The democrats will hold their eau
Gus on Monday evening in the hall
over the Merchants Bank. The
democrats have about decided to run
MajorN. P. Bowman, and they have
selected one of their strongest men
and popular men throughout town.
Our people are taking an unusual
interest in local politics and at this
writing it looks as if we should have
an interesting contest for town rep
resenta tive.
A certificate of nomination has
been filed by about dozen citizens,
irrespective of party, nominating
Wendell P. Stafford. The following
letter from Mr.. Stafford explains his
position on the weekly payment
question:
EDITOR CALIFORNIAN Having been
nominated by certificate of Citizens
as a candidate for representative to the
General Assembly, and having been fire.
quently asked to state my position upon
the question of weekly payments
wish to make a public answer to such in
quiries, believing that voters have right
to know what they may expect from
their servants when elected.
A law has been in force in Massachu
setts since 1887 which requires the week
ly payment of wages by every manu-
featuring, mining or quarrying, mercan
tile. railroad, street railway, telephone
and telegraph corporation, every in
cOrporated express company and water
company" 1t will be noticed that the
law has no application to farmers, store
keepers, partnerships and the like, bu
applies to corporations only. l under
stand that the practical operation O
this law has been beneficial, and 1 be
lieve in its justice and expediency. If
am elected l shall use my best efforts tC
secure the passage Of such a statute by
our legislature. Yours truly,
WENDELL P. STAFFORD.

that he's gone up the spout; or that hes II

he's no good; or that he's ausgcspiet; or
that hes gone TO protest. But rs to the

THE OLD LIBERTY POLE

Inc liberty pole from the village square
Foihts It's hammered top to the sky;
For nearly u century it has stood there
And watched the years go by.
Many gathering of friendly ones -
Has assembled around its base,
And many vollcy OF patriot guns
las echoed about the place. =.
Many procession has passed it by
On the nations natal day,
And chccrcd that banner in the sky
Ina heartlikc, jubilant way.
Tales of the old time days could be told
10y this sentinel standin., there
Legends of love and legends OF gold,
Or hope and of despair.
But about its brow the wind may sing,
Ana the snow may fall, and the rain,
Yet this veteran, like n vOiccless thing,
Is mute through pleasure or pain.
1t has seen the young grow old and white,
And watched life's expiring flame.
But still. with its brow in the bright sun
light,
The liberty pole stands the same.

to placing the kitchen fixtures so that the
cook may not 8 ave cause to complain over
