THE REBEKAHS, OUTING.

Members of Olive Branch Lodge.
D. of R., INDUCED in an out
ing on Friday night last, by invita-
tion of Juniper Branch Lodge OF
Lyndonvillle. The St. Johnsbury
Rebekahs took several of their
gentlemen friends along to add to
the pleasure of the trip, the party
numbering about so, and had Jolly
evening of it, coming home fully con-
vinced that Jumper Branch Lodge
can entertain most successfully.
Aside from the st. Johnsbury visit
ors, members Of the order from
Barnet, Barton and West Burke
were present. Supper was served at

lodge opened proceedings in due form,
Grand Master Farrar of Rutland be-
ing introduced Miss A. L. Finnev

"REECE" WINS THE SUIT.

The United States circuit court of
appeals has handed in decision in
favor of the Reece Button Hole
Machine Company in its litigation
with the Globe Button Hole
Machine Company. The case is re-
manded to the circuit court with in
structions to enter a decree for an
Injunction and an account on claims
5, II, ~, 13 and IS, of the Reece
Patent Number 24O, $40, being all
the claims sued upon. This is final
decision and a very important one
tor the Reece Button Hole Machine
Company. This decision closes all
litigation with which the company
has been connected for the past seven
years, and in which hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been in
volved. The attorneys for the Reece
Button Hole Machine Company in
this case were James J. Storrow, and
the firms of Fish, Richardson &
Storrow and Lange & Roberts.
The news of this decision, which
was received here by telegraph last
Friday, caused much pleasure as more
stock is owned in St. Johnsbury
than in any other place outside of
Boston. The stock. whose par value
is $40, had been selling around IL,
but Immediately upon the announce
ment of the courts decision the
stock rapidly advanced and in a few
hours was selling at 16. Much of it
was at once put upon the market,
some of it presumably by those who
bought it last June at So share.
Even at 16 the stock is a ten per
cent invest ment and many think it
will gradually rise to 20. St.
Johnsbury people have lost so much
lately in Western and Southern in
vestments that it is gratifying to
talk about one investment that is
really gilt-edged and has contributed
not little to the material wealth of
our citizens.
About one-third of the stock Of the
Reece Button-Hole Company is own
ed in town, and the recent rise in the
stock of about SIS a share has added
about 500 900 to the wealth of the
st. Johnsbury stockholders. The de-
cision of the court has stiffened the
price of the International stock which
is now selling at 1925

BISHOP HALL IN BOSTON.

Bishop Hall of Vermont was the
guest of the Episcopalian Club in
Boston on Monday night and was
given a cordial reception. Bishops
Lawrence of Massachusetts, Niles of
New Hampshire and Clark of Rhode
Island were among those present.
Bishop Hall made a short address in
which he alluded to the discourage
ing conditions that presented them
selves when he took charge of the
Vermont diocese. Said he: II
found, however, that it was plentiful
ly possessed in quality, if not in
quantity, and that if the people were
like the rugged hills, an impression
once made on them abided there.
The small experiences of a small
diocese lead ME to the belief that it is
better for you to divide your own.
A bishop can do something then be-
side squirting at his people"
BASE BALL.
The Thetford Academy nine are
coming here next Saturday with the
expection of downing the St. Johns
bury Academy nine. 1t remains to
be seen whether their expectations
will be realized. The game will be a
very interesting one as giving evil
dence of what the home team is
made of this season. Game begins
at D. m, admission IS cents, and
there should be a good crowd out to
see it. The campus fence will not be
riehted in season for this game, but
it is hoped that all who want to see
the playing will walk up to the cap
tain's office and buy a ticket. 1t is
hoped the "brave defenders" on the,
bridge who have heretofore taken in
so much ball playing at so little cost
to themselves, will be few in num-
Der. The Academy nine deserve a
cordial support, and this altogether
too customary and rather brassy
a-bridge-ment Of the gate receipts
ought to be done way with.

A MENAGE RUMOR.

A Minneapolis dispatch of the
10th contained the interesting in
formation that "a letter has been re-
ceived from ex-President Menage, of
the Northwestern Guaranty Loan
Co., stating he will soon return and
answer to the Indictment charg-
ing him with embezzIement of a
million dollars" The dispatch does
not say where the letter was dated !;
but this slight omission would be
overlooked if Menage would person
ally appear and tell the stockholders
what he did with the Doodle. Lots
OF people in this section should be
glad to interview him. The rumor
that he will soon RETURN" how
ever, will be taken with several
grains of allowance.

LOOKS LIKE SUCCESS.

We are glad to note that the
movement to enlarge the capital
stock of the Carpenter Lathe and
Tool Company and locate the indus
try her, permanently seems likely to
be successful. The committee ap-
pointed by the Board of Trade to
solicit stock subscriptions have met
with great deal of encouragement
during the past week. They find
that the prevailing sentiment among
the business men favors carrying
out the plan as outlined by Mr.. Car
penter at the special meeting of the
board, and while no large blocks of
stock have been taken, quite num-
ber of small subscriptions have been
secured, aggregating, at present
writing, 125 shares out of the 200
offered.

The foundry started on three
quarters time on the 25th. 1t has

months past. This indication of re-
newed activity will be gratifying to
all our people.
Within short time quite a num-
Der Of the men employed in the foun-
dry at the scale works have pur-
chased farms. Among those who

AFTER SUMNER BOARDERS.

A movement to boom New Eng
land by extensively advertising its
attractions has been successfully
launched and corporation has
been formed to be known as the New
England Summer Resort Associa-
ton. D. J. Flanders, the general
passenger agent of the Boston &
Maine. is president of the organiza-
ton, and among the directors are
such well-knOwn railroad men as F.
E. Boothby of the Maine Central, F.
E. Brown of the Concord 81 Mon
treal and Geo. l. Connor of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford
road. A huge vacation bureau will
be established in New York, where
pamphlets from all parts of New
England, tickets and all information
can be obtained at any time. New
Hampshire's exhibit at the Worlds
Fair started this idea of vacation
bureau, and it will be managed for
the interests of all New England.
The railroad managers have the
cordial support of the proprietors of
the big summer hotels, some of whom
are represented on the directorate of
the corporation. Every hotel pro-
prietor IN New England is invited TO
join the association, which is pro-
hibited by law from ever declaring
any dividends, the object OF the asso-
citation being solely to increase sum-
mer travel in New England. The
smaller boarding houses will share
the benefits equally with the big
hotels, aud all interested in the move
ment should communicate with Mr..
Flanders. 1t is estimated that $40
600 will have to be raised annually
to support the bureau, all of which
will be raised by voluntary contribu
tions by the members.
This movement has received the
hearty support of the press of New
England. and will be of great benefit
to Vermont. Among the Vermont
ers already interested in the move
ment are Col. Woodbury. of Burling-
ton and General Passenger Agent
Cummings of the Central Vermont.
Senator Proctor endorses the scheme
as follows: Il am glad to see the
organized effort you are making to
bring to public notice the beauties
and advantages of New England.
The purpose is one for the good of
the whole country as we'll as New
England, and l wish you the success
you so richly deserve"
