most worthy of encouragement and support.

The Argus is supposed to be a newspaper
printed once week for the purpose OF pub
fishing tie news. 1t will be remembered
that the particulars Of the rum riot in 1891
were suppressed by that sheet, and in its
report last week of the pre- oceedings of
| Washington county court IL was particu-
larly noticeable that the cases against E. l..
| Putnpy were carefully eliminated. This,
perhaps, was not surprising in a paper that
has for more than two decades championed
the cause of the rumseller at the capital
A SPECIAL session of Mount Sinai Temple,
Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine, will be held at

AN anxious couple from Burlington, who
desired the services of a clergyman to make
them man and WIFE were perambulating
| the streets of Montpelier last Saturday
They found one after diligent search, and,
after exactiDg from him a promise not to re-
veal their names, the ceremony was per-
formed. Perhaps the silly creatures were
not aware that it would be the easiest thing
in the world to obtain their cogn0mens
when the marriage license is retu ned to
the town or city clerk, hut they labored so
earnestly to conceal their identity that the
WATCHMAN is disposed to humor them and
not publish their names.
THE uniformly large houses last week at
Capital Hall and the excellent satisfaction
given have induced the management of
Paul's New England Theater Company to
remain another week. The company play
the present week, under the auspices Of
Brooks Post, G. A R., a share of the pro-
ceeds going to the treasury of that organ
iZation. Unless a special request is made
for repetition, Mr.. Paul and his company
will present change OF programme each
evening The company, as a whole, needs
no newspaper "pnffing." The large and
delighted audiences that were in attendance
last week is the best recommend that could
be given them.
WE have it from trustworthy source
that l.. b. Huntington says that, as the
profit on a glass of cider is but four cents
and it costs Sl20 to ythe same, il is easy
to see the business doesn't pay. Therefore
no more cider, but more vinegar. Mr..
Huntington has sold cider for forty years.
He knew he was liable to fine but did not
suppose he was keeping nuisance. There
is wide difference between nuisance az
defined by Webster and a nuisance as con-
strued by the prohibitory code. Mr.. Hunt
ington's place has never been, and could
never be, put in the first category, but, as the
court says, it comes in the second, he will
take it out of that also by disseminating the
sale of cider while he remains in business.
THE grand autumn excursion to Boston
advertised by the Central Vermont railroad
for Wednesday, October %, gives the choice
of routes via Lowell or Fitchburg. All
stations between Hartford and Montpelier,
including Barre and Williamstown. are in
cluded. Through coaches TO Boston run by
either route. The fare for the round trip
from Montpelier is So, tickets good going
on all trains October % and good returning
to arrive at starting point until November
4. This is a most favorable time to visit the
city, as the theatres and other attractions
are al their best. With its usual forethought
the management will provide ample accom-
modalions for the crowds that are sure to
avail themselves of this low rate. The many
inquiries that have been made at this office
during the past month as to when these eX.
cursions are to be run show that these annual
special trips are what the people are looking
and waiting for.
