Santa soon made the acquaintance of the
children by the presentation of the many
beautiful gifts of dolls, rings. pins, guns.
etc., which had been selected and
marked by Mrs. Mccullough with wise
view to their fitness; and then to the
dismay of the older portion he began
distributing larger and more expensive
presents until all had been remembered
with gifts which will long be esteemed
for their intrinsic value, but more espec-
tally for the beautiful spirit which
prompted the generous giver. 1t had
been understood that there might be a
tree for the children, but as the invita-
tons had protested against the receiving
of presents, it was taken for granted
none would be given but to the young,
and therefore this part of the programme
was unlooked-for. As the excitement of
the tree subsidized in part and the COM
pany had been RECALLED with ice cream
and cake and treated to some music
upon the violin by Master Robbie Mat
tison, the rugs were removed from the
ard-tlnished floors and dancing by some
of the youth was INDUCED in, with music
from the piano, adding gaiety to the
many-sided, joyous occasion.

Death of a Former Benningtonian.

John p. Holley will be remembered as
being in the employ of l. & s. Weeks,
when they ran the stages flom Troy to
BrattlebOro, through Bennington, before
the building of railroads in this vicinity.
He had as associates. NJ. G. Selden,
Elisha Wadsworth, s. NJ. and Jesse
Robinson, all of whom except the last,
have gone on before him. He died in
Pontiac, Mich, the 18th of December.
We quote from the Pontiac Gazette:
John P. HOlley was born at Warrens-
burg. N. Y, September 10th, 1878, was
married to Marion Thatcher, April 10th,
1912, came to Michigan and Pontiac in
1853. For some years he was in the shoe
trade in this city.
For the past two years his health had
been on the decline in both body and
mind. Those who were near him, and
to causal observers it was plainly mani
fest that he was rapidly nearing the
transition period which comes to all.
For many years the deceased had been a
faithful commitment of the COngrega-
tional church of this city. Mrs. and
Mrs. Holley together having walked arm

ton will only be brief period when
they will be again united in eternal bonds
of heavenly fellowship.
"The deceased leaves no children, an
only daughter, Mrs. ID. d. Thurber, dy.
ing, some years ago. Mrs. Williams of
Detroit, an adopted child, survives him.
In her loneliness and affection Mrs.
Hollcy will have the sympathy of the
people of this city, with whom she has
mingled socially and in business rela-
tiOns 50 many years.

closed yesterday, after a prolonged ses-

uing consecutively save only a Christmas
recess. 1t is one of the longest of late

ago, there has been a murder or other
important trials. Judge Tyler's aim is
to close up the business of each term as
nearly as possible. To use his words:

goes over, see that it is not because

THE fre-bell that rang this morning at
80 was false alarm. This is the
fourth or fifth time since the electric
alarm was put in that the department
has been called out at unreasonable
hours to please either some irresponsible
key-holder or at the within of some Off
cial. 1t is twice now in succession that
box 3S, corner of Gage and Stafford, has
been rung. If some one has key and
when ''filled up thinks this is fun, then
there should be redistribution of the
keys. If any of our village officials are
doing it they should remember that our
fire department is volunteer body, and
that the people are not in favor of false
alarms being rung. 1t is bad enough to
arouse the town when danger appears,
and not at the caprice of any individual
or class of officials. In saying this we
voice not only the department file but
dozens of the people who have freed
their minds this morning.
THE Christmas issue of the News-
Messenger of Marshall, Mimi, contains
the information that on Tuesday preced-

formerly of Bennington, was united in
marriage to one of Marshall's fair
daughters. Miss Cora Mabel Madison.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. DR.. TeuBroeck of the Episcopal
church. The Nelgs- Messenger says:
1.-THE BRIDES family are old residents of
Marshall, and the young lady has grown
to womanhood in our midst, passing
through the Marshall schools and hold
ing favored position in the social cir
Gle of the young people. The groom
came from the green hills of Vermont
many years ago, and is thoroughly a
Marshall boy, and has now substantial
footing as one of the business men of the
place. He has taken his bride into a
handsome new cottage on Lyon street,
which he has built and furnished during
the past year. A generous array of valu-
able gifts were displayed on the evening
of the wedding" A private letter to his
mother and sister here speaks of mas
sive solid silver soup tureen and ladle
presented to Mr.. Cutting by the lady he
had boarded with so long, and silver
service from other friends.

THERE have been lively times at the

Then. on Sunday evening, came the Sun

season. Music, under the conduct of
Mr.. Frank G.. Mattison, was leading

his own words the story of the birth at

was the exquisite rendering of Mendel-

QUEER REPUBLIC TIMBER.

A correspondent in this paper calls
attention to the evident leaning of
the editor of the Friend to the an
nexation of this Kingdom to the
United States. Our criticism of the
article alluded to by the correspon-
dent is directed to that portion
which reads: "Certainly Hawaii
should not be disparaged because it
is plainly seen to be advancing to-
wards that political maturity and
full capacity which make monarchy
obsolete and republicanism a neces-
sity, as in the case of France" y
Either the writer fails to understand
what tends to make a republican
state, or he imagines that his readers
do not understand the necessary
elements, that exist in France to
some extent, and in the United
States to a greater extent. Certainly

COFFEE CULTURE.
Important Experiment on Halawa
Plantation, Hawaii.

Plantation, Hawaii.
Neither the report of the Com
mittee on Tea and Coffee nor the
discussion thereon, in the Planters
Convention, were sufficient to over
come the modesty of Mr.. T. S. Kay,
manager of Halawa plantation, Ko-
hala, so as to permit him to reveal
an experiment he has inaugurated
on that estate in the way of starting
coffee homesteads on the profit
sharing plan. One of his brother
planters of Kohala, however, gave
him away to representative of the
BULLETIN, who elected the facts
given below from Mr.. Kay.
The company is giving Portuguese
plots of land of five to ten acres
each, rent free, to be planted in cof
fee. Single men are excluded and
married men without children are
given second place to those with
children. The idea in this regard is
not merely the benefit to greater
number by the settlement of men of
family, but these can work the
homesteads to greater advantage
through the children's services in
cultivating and picking the coffee.
The homesteads are to receive seven
twelfths of the profits on the pro-
duct of their plots. During the
slack period on the coffee farms the
tenants are promised whatever en-
ployment may be available on the
sugar plantation, while the women
and children can attend to the
lighter details of cultivating the
coffee.
Thirty acres have already been
taken up by Portuguese families on
the plan described. 1t is Mr.. Kay's
intention to procure some of the
tobacco seed being distributed by
Mr.. Marsden, and experiment on the
Halawa estate in the cultivation OF
''the weed" His homesteading ex-
pertinent will be watched with gen
eral interest.

EDITOR Bulletin
My attention has been called to
tho editorial matter in the Friend
of the current month. After read
ing the article, HAS Hawaii Stable
Governments" it is evident that the
article was undertaken for the pur-
pose of getting the last paragraph
before its readers. The writer says:
"As to annexation with big, big Az,
it will be time to talk about that
when the United States have come
to feel that they want us to unite in
that grand federation. If that is
our future destiny, we can only say
we might go farther and fare worse"
1t is quite evident that the writer
desires to be numbered with that
bakers dozen of malcontents who
are attracted by the spirits of Ahab
and Jezebel. How strange it is that
these malcontents, who seem to de
sire to become citizens of the great
Republic, do not take passage for
that favored land. Not so strange
either when we remember that one
of them has twice shaken the dust
from his feet on our shores, with the
intention of residing in Massachu-
setts permanently, and has as often
returned for the simple reason that
he could not earn his salt there.
