THE USUAL BOTCH.

Errors Abound In the New Directory.
A new Brattleboro directory has been
delivered this week. 1t is the usual patch
work of fact and error. When the canvas
for the directory was being made Assist
ant Postmaster Wilcox offered to revise
the proof sheets for the publishers. The
sheets were not sent to him direct, but two
or three weeks ago were handed to him by
a business man to whom they had been
forwarded. Mr.. Wilcox found many glar-
ing errors and in all made about POO cOrrec-
tions, with the assistance of the letter car
riers, spending several hours in the work.
The corrected proofs were returned prompt
", but only two or three of the POO mis-
takes were corrected. Several former we'll
known citizens, now dead, are given,
among them being names like Z. Crosby,
E. b. Campbell, r. G. Hardie and Hiram
B. Horton. "H. G.. ChOate, butcher for
A. H. and L. +. StrattOn" appears, when
in fact the Stratton firm went out of exist
ence several years ago and Mr. Choate
moved to Lebanon, n. II. The names of
a number of other former residents, who
have not lived here for two to six years
past, also appear. The maiden names are
given of several young women who enter
ed the married state two or three years
ago. Several names are duplicated, being
spelled in different ways. C. r. Simonds
is a Main street groceryman, II. w. ST.
monds is the coupe proprietor, Orvin
Coombs is the proprietor of the village
hack route. There are omissions of
names by the score, business men like
Fred U. Simpson and II. o. Coolidge be-
ing skipped. Mistakes in names and mis-
takes in place of residence abound. AS a
book of reference the directory is about
as useful as a railroad guide compiled sew
eral YeArs ago.

"a SOCIAL SESSION"

Music and humor will hold high carnival
at the town hall on Saturday, August 20,
when Sprague's company of comedians,
augmented by the famous Black Hussar
band and Star orchestra, present their latest
comedy success, "a Social Session" The
play is said to be intensely funny and to
possess rare charm of originality, while the
scenes and situations follow one upon the
other with naturalness and unique humOr
that fairly captivates the audience. Few
comedies have embodied in them so many
delightful melodies, and the attention of
the listener is absorbed from beginning to
end. The company carries superb or
chestra that is an attraction in itself and
necessary to a smooth and perfect produc-
ton of the play.

MARY w1LK1Ns's FIRST STORY.

An amusing story is told of Miss Mary
Wilkinss first successful story. A CORE
spondent of the Denver Republican says
that this tale-the favorite one entitled
"Two Old Lovers'-was sent to Lippin-
colts first. 1t was returned with a note
from the editor, telling the writer what
was the matter with it; but the criticism
and advice are still unknown to Miss Will
kins, because she could not read the letter,
which, however, she still keeps and often
looks at with genuine curiosity as to what
was the matter with the story! The man
uscript afterward went to the Century, to
the Atlantic and finally to Harper's Bazaar,
where Miss Booth looked at it and laid it
aside, fancying from the odd, childish
script that some schoolgirl was trying her
hand and at first thinking that it was prob
ably not worth while to read it. She did
read it finally and accepted it at once, and
it was in that paper that most of Miss Will
kins's first 'grown-up" stories appeared.

An Italian Duel,

At Morcagliano, in north Italy, Sacconne,
a farmers son, was enamored of pretty
grape-picker named Bonda. The girl was
betrothed to one Costa and rejected the
advances of Sacconne, who thereupon
challenged Costa to a duel with pistols.
The girl planned to aid her lover, and, hid
ing behind him, she fired at Sacconne when
the signal was given. Costa fired at the
same instant. Sacconne fell dead, pierced
by Costa's bullet, but Costa also fell, his
sweetheart's bullet having accidentally
struck him in the back of the head instead
of reaching its intended victim. More re-
markable still, Sacconne's bullet, missing
Costa, buried itself in the girls bosom.
The doctors pronounced Costa's wound
mortal but think that the young woman
may survive.

sImIIIa slmIIlbus Principle.

1t seem to be settled that whiskey enters
largely into the composition of the bichlo-
ride of gold cure. The government au-
thorities have decided that the institutions
where this connection is dispensed must
pay the regular government tax exacted
from retail liquor dealers. The Kelley
company at Dwight has decided to submit
to the inevitable, and now all the branches
in A states pay government taxes. This
decision seems to show that the bichloride
cure is based on the similia similibus prin-
ciple.

BELLOWS FALLS.
Hetty GREEN'S shre,vd Move.

A late Chicago despatch says: At the
time when Mrs. Hetty Green, ten days ago,
exposed a scheme to transfer $1,000, 900
worth of her property in Chicago by means
of forged mortgage, many unkind words
on her action were spoken by the authori-
ties and others, condemning her precipi-
tous move. She now retaliates by declaring
that she did not act with undue haste, but
in pure self-protection. She says she was
aware of the existence of the forged docu-
ments, and, after waiting three weeks for
her attorneys and the authorities to head
off the forgers, determined to save herself,
and therefore filed the bill in chancery that
gave publicity to the scheme and frightened
the orignators away.

alleged poisoning conspiracy.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Dec. 13.-Homestead is
considerably exercised over the alleged cases
of poisoning in the steel works, but the gen.
eral opinion. of the citizens is that it is good
deal of myth. The company will have to
produce very strong evidence to make the
people of Homestead believe otherwise. The
statement was made in recent communlca-
ton that mine cases are expected 10 result
fatally at the Carnegie hospital" None OF
the cases are expected to result fatally is the
general opinion. Dr. Osborne. who was sum-
moned, found that the man Crawford had
sustained fractured rib He saws that he
was attacked by three men on the river bank
and badly beaten and left to PERISH, He
worked in the thirty-two1nch mill at the
steel works.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 13.-In the law and

fused to issue habeas corpus writ as prayed
