the Dartmouth GIee Club.

The Dartmouth College Glee and Banjo
Clubs, which appear here Feb. IL, are by
ell odds the best the college has ever sent
out. They have recently returned from
threeweeks' trip through New Hampshire
and Massachusetts, and their success, both
from financial and an artistic stand
point, was remarkable. Press and public
united in appreciation of their endeavors,
and competent critics pronounced them
in many respects ahead of Harvard and
Yale. Especially do the Dartmouth boys
pride themselves this year on the variety
OF the programme presented. Besides
bright and snappy choruses and glees and
the latest banjo club selections, they have
many solo features. Pitcher Frank o.
Conner sings bass solo from Robin Hood
which is alone worth the price OF admls-
sion. Mr. Stockwell sings the taking
Song of All Nations from the Isle of Cham
payne, while Mr.. Barrogs always brings
down the house with his local topical
song. Mr.. Jarvis has some new and
sweet yodels, while his guitar playing is
as remarkable as ever. The Ariel Quar-
tette and Mr.. Palmer. the best amateur
banjo soloist in New England, are other
star features w. II. Clogett, dramatic
impersonator, will make his first appear
aDce with the clubs here, and much curl
osity is felt as to his debut. The college
boys deserve a fun house and such an ar
ray Of talent as is outlined above ought
surely to draw one.

BARRE'S CENTENARIAN.
Mrs. Lucy Wood Dies Tuesday Night at
the Great Age of 10. Years.

"Aunt Lucy Wood died just before
midnight Tuesday night quite unexpect-
edly She had not been feeling well for
some time but as she was in no pain and
was able to sit up and converse readily,
she was not thought to be in danger.
Tuesday night she wished to sit up, and
after assisting her to rise the attendant
turned away for a moment when, startled
by a slight noise, she turned around and
noticing that Mrs. Wood had fallen for
ward, went to her assistance and found
that she was dead, her life having gone
out like the flame of a candle. Mrs. Wood
on account of her long life, had received
considerable attention from the papers in
New England since the celebration of her
Tooth birthday, and her life history Is too
we'll known to all newspaper readers in
town to need repeating; she was born in
Methuen. Mass, in 1875 and was married
early in life to John Wood, who took his
young wife to Vermont, locating in this
town
Eleven years after their marriage occur
red the second war with England, and MIR.
Wood drove one of the large teams for the
American army in the Plattsburgh cam
pa1gn, for which Congress a few years
ago granted Mrs. Wood a pension. The
birthday OF Aunt Lucy, as everyone called
her, which occurred January is, has been
celebrated each year by gathering of her
Irlenos ana nelgnDOrSi she was menoer
of the local Ladies' Relief Corps and wore
a badge of the order on her breast.
Mrs. Wood was one of the Oldest people
of New England, the oldest in Vermont,
and, what seems a peculiar coincidence,
Mr.. Samuel Childs, the Oldest native born
man in town was buried the day follow
ing her death, aged 81 years.
The funeral of Mrs. Wood took place at
her late home on the corner of Washing
ton and Park streets, Friday y. M, about
O'Clock, Rev. w. S. Smithers officiating.
The interment was in the family lot in
the old part of the cemetery.

BIG SWINDLING SCHEME
Chicago Banks Narrowly Es-
cape Heavy Losses.
SEVERAL TAKEN IN FOR GOOD SUMS

a Trio of sharpers Arrive in the Lake
city with $500. 900 Worth OF Negotiable
Paper Obtained in Eastern Cities Under
False Statements, and Raise 100000
on 1t.
CHICAGO, Feb. e.-Several Chicago
banks have had close shave from being
swindled out of amounts ranging from
5000 to 100000 by trio Of bold
schemers from New York.
The story is given out that two sharp
ers from New York approached Mr.. Scott
of the Illinois Bathtub company and pro-
posed that they form gigantic company
and enlarge the present ones capacity
The trio visited f. H. Holton, OF
Holton & Co., plumbers supplies, Boston,
and after dilating upon the future OF the
company offered him the exclusive East
ern control of the bath tub if he would
take 800 worth of stock.
Holton was to give ninety day notes
for $50. 900 aud the two would send east
$40 900 in cash at the time Of maturity.
The two men interested in the Man
hatten Plumbers Supply company of New
OK were AhAtnNNA W 9A5A ADNSN'
for $50, 900.
FIJI. Mills, the big Plumber and Sup
ply man Of Philadelphia, was next visited
and he is said to have signed papers to
the extent of $50 0O0
Then the trio sang the same tale OF
riches to plumbing supply men Of Utica,
Rochester Pittsburg and other eastern
cities.
Then they came to Chicago with over
5000 900 worth of discountable paper in
their gripsacks.
Before their operations were headed on
they had discounted over $40, 600 of it.
At both the Fort Dearborn National
Bank, and Metropolitan National Bank
they discounted IS, 200 worth of the notes
and drew out the larger portion Of the
cash to their credit
Their same game was worke d
on the National Bank of lii
nois, the American Exchange
National Bank, Chicago Trust Bank, fhe
Atlas National, Central Trust and Saw
ings and other banks. In each one the
scheme of depositing cash, leaving it
alone and securing discounts on the
paper was worked.
Mills and Holton, it is said, met in
New York and discovered that the same
things had been promised TO both OF
them. They at once sent an attorney to
Chicago to look after ther notes, and he
induced the banks to charge notes held
against the cash balances, and this so
alarmed the trio that its members de-
parted at once
Cashier Hammond of the National
Bank of Illinois admitted that he had
discounted So 600 in paper for the COM
nination. 81 was saved by an attorney,
who notified me that the men were
sharpers.
''They received no cash from me, how
ever, as / had fortunately credited the
amount to the concern We lost nothing,
but it was a close shave

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Two reasons were
given by the Worlds Fair Directors yes
terday for arranging a programme for
opening the Exposition without the invo-
cation usual on such occasions.
The first was the difficulty of selecting
a minister who would be agreeable to all
churches. She second reason, as given by
Director Lawrence, was that prayers are
not necessary on such an OCCASION" Mr..
Lawrence then added;
1--WE will open the Exposition just as a
store or a bank is opened for business,
and nobody ever heard Of a store being
opened by prayer
1t is thought probable that the Ma
tional Commission will demand a place
on the programme for prayers.
