APOLLO MALE QUARTET.
An Exceptionally Fine Program for the
Closing of the Star Lecture Course.

An Exceptionally Fine Program for the
Closing of the Star Lecture Course.
All should remember the closing entertain
ment of the Star Lecture course, the concert
by the Apollo Male Quartet, assisted by Miss
Daisy Carroll Hoyt, reader, and MIR. Rogers,
harp soloist, at the Opera House Friday even
ing. The program is an unusually interest
ing one, containing as it does selections by
one of the finest male quartets in the coun-
try, and harp soloi>t who is without peer.
Miss Hoyt is also very highly spoken of by
all who have heard her. She was pupil of
Mrs. Southwick, whose readings have been
go much enjoyed here, and in this case it is
said that the pupil surpasses the teacher in
her power of dramatic expression. A very
neat and isty souvenir has been issued by
THE TIMES, giving portraits of each of the
artists, with the program, ETC., together with
evenings program. Remember that this is
the last entertainment of the course, a, q it
Is expected to surpass any musical combina-
ton which has appeared here under this man
agement. And don't forget to bring that
memorandum of your preferences regarding
the course for next season, and hand 1t to
the usher or one of the committee. 1t is for
your own benefit, and will greatly assist the
managers in selecting the class of companies
which are best suited to please the people as
whole. Tickets may be procured for the
concert at Pierce's pharmacy.

BEAU yiFuL SNOW
which Isnt Appreciated Very Highly by
the Travelling Public.

While people all over New England have
been talking about the strange weather we
have been having this winter, and wonder
ing why there was no snow, the Snow King
has been minding his business closely and
preparing to make big drop In his goods all
along the line late In the season. A few sam
pies scattered over the country from time to
time have only made the people anxious for
more, and recently the old King evidently
resolved to hold back no more, but dispose
of his entire stock at once. He has put q
large consignment on the local market this
week, but the people don't seem to he very
thankful. Sunday night few flakes of snow
fell before dark, and increased in number as
the sun went down till by midnight there
self over the country. New England doesn't
claim the parentage of that storm. 1t was
born way out in the wild and wOOlly west,
where they raise other things of an even less
desirable character. But it Travelled fast and
came in like dime museum brass band, with
lots of wind. As the snow increased In vol
ume, the wind increased in violence. AS the
French Canadian song goes:
ode wind she's blow like horricane;
Bimeby she's blow some MORE"
Until a veritahle blizzard was the outcome.
Monday morning the air was filed with
fine particles of snow, which made travelling
almost impossible. The air was so thick with
it that objects across the street were barely
discernable, and further aw ay sight was i'm
possible. Snow plows were useless, as the
paths would drift full before the plow had
been gone half an hour, but they were run
for the temporary relief they would give.
The railroads suffered most. and all trains
were late in consequence. The train from
Rutland, due here at $50 a. M, did not ar
rive till about O'Clock p. M, and the Boston
train was about seven hours late. The Con-
necticut River and Sullivan railroads were
in better luck, as their tracks do not drift
badly and they were able to get around with
comparatively short delays. Towards night
Monday the storm abated and Tuesday
found things running in very good order.
Tuesday night another stO rm made its APP
pearance, and started business with false
representations. The snow fell softly and
there was no wind to disturb it at first,
80 it was thought that there would be no diff
Guilty resulting from it. But, as usual, we
guessed wrong, and the wind started up
Wednesday morning, and soon made up for
lost time by piling the snow in drifts at every
point where public convenience demanded a
clear passage. The early trains on the rail-
roads were not badly delayed, but in the
afternoon, when about IA inches of snow had
fallen, the roads became almost impossible.
The afternoon train over the Rutland road
was late, and the Boston train came In, three
hours late, drawn by three locomotives. How
much further this storm is going to continue
its funny work is beyond the power of man
to tell but it would be safe to say that we
have not seen the last of it yet.

The finances Of the town are hardly In so
good y condition as one year ago. The last
report showed balance In the treasury of
$7255,79, while this year there Is but 1880. 80.
and 1t was necessary to borrow $4,000 from
the bank to make 1t come out that way. To
be sure, $1,000 In bonds have been paid, but
even then we are not 40 well off as one year
ago. The liabilities are $67, POS go, with as
sets Of $4052.90, making an Increase In the
debt Of 81 Ala OF. The orders Of the ceme-
terry commissioners amounted to $l212. 70 |;
highway commissioners, $2034.49; school
fund account, $5S16.70; current expense ac-
count, $50, 1913; Campbell fund, $3.50. The
real estate, first class. Is valued at $2OI8, 5S5
second lass, $52S 1856; total, 81, $40. Per-
sonal pr Operty, 81 .052.1 69. Total real and
personal estate, $3.657, 739. There are 1856
polls. which brings the grand list up to $685.
$3.50, an increase over last year of $949 "a.
The Town liquor agency showed loss of
Stab during the last three months 1t was
at Ssxton's River, but since mo wing over
here the town has cleared $739.94. The over
seer of the poor paid out $5939.56, and re-
ceived 1914 So. The new bridge over the
canal cost $296S,55, including the elbow
grease used on the hand derrick and pile
driver. The Town hall did not quite pay ex-
penses, owing to extra repairs and improve
ments made in Red Mems hall and on the
stage. Some bills due in 80 and '91 were
also paid. The receipts were $25O975, and
the expenses were $3611.32. One item of
$475 for electric lights seems enough TO
swamp any building, but there are large
number of lights used in the Opera House.
The free library shows balance on hand of
$755 So. There were loaned during the year,
1874 hooks a gain of 2105 over 1892, and 2l5
application cards were issued. The number
of hooks now in the library is 1897, of which
178 volumes have been added the past year.
An arrangement has also been made by
which books are transported to and from
BartonsvlIe, with good results and apprecia-
ton. The reports have been mailed to the
voters, so that they will study them thor
oughly before town meeting.

sAproof Of this may be found in an in
cident related by Miss Emma G. Sickels,
than whom few people are better in

Sioux. She organized the school at
Pine Ridge in 1884 and taught the In
dian children there for some years. She
favors Little Wounds claims to the
~chieftaincy and thinks he is the favorite
of the Indians. She spoke quite frankly
to this effect:
may be prejudiced, but perhaps | am justi-
fed, rs Little Wound saved my life and the
school during the instruction Of 1884. That
outbreak was started by my telling the daugh-
ter of Red Cloud that If she could not obey the
rules of the school she could leave. She was a
naughty girl and left. She went straight to
her father, who ~thereupon made incendiary
h~aranRues TO his people, denouncing the school
and me. After several months he took the
Geld, aided by Little Chief. the flery Cheyenne.
They came down upon Pine Ridge. about q
thousand strong. with tho avowed intention of
burning 1t and killing me. It seemed as II we
were doomed, but Little Wound had heard OF
Red Clouds design, and always having been q
friend OF mine he gathered o force twice as
strong As the other two chiefs and arrived nj
Pine Ridge the night before the projected at
tack. Red Cloud saw that he was defeated
and sullenly withdrew and three weeks later
sent hits children back 10 the school.
Little Wound Is about 60 years of age,
over 8 feet tall and has a commanding
air. He got his name from a wound in
the ankle received in o battle with the
whites when he was 12 years old. He
talks but little, and his speeches at coun.
Gil meetings are models of brevity.
