1 REMARKABLE PROTEST.


The following protest was forward
ed TO Washington this week:
To the Postmaster-Genera of the
United States:
THE undersigned patrons of the post
Office at St. IohnSbury, VT, hereby ex-
press to you their lack of confidence in
the administration of the post office at
this place, and demonstrate against the
confirmation and continuance OF Arthur
c. Randall as postmaster. We ask the
appointment of reliable democrat under
whose administration we shall feel
secure in the privacy of our mail
matter"
This protest was signed by fully
nine-tenths Of the business patrons
of the office and is the most remark
able petition ever sent out OF this
town. The corporations, the banks,
the professional men, merchants and
many private individuals have sign
ed it.
This is not a spasmodic move
and is most vigorous expression OF
the lack of confidence in the present
postmaster. For several months
there has been a growing belief that
the privacy of mail matter has been
interfered with. This belief IS so
strong that some of the banks, busi-
ness firms and private individuals
mail most of their letters at the
depot. Others use sealing wax on
their envelopes. When it appeared
that letter from Senator Proctor
had been opened in this post office a
government inspector was sent here
to investigate the case. What his
findings are in the matter is not
known, but the sentiment of the
patrons Of the office is clearly ex-
pressed in the above protest. This
is not a partisan matter as many OF
the leading democrats Of the village
have signed this petition.
| Mr.. Randall has not yet been con-
firmed by the senate and the protest
will be presented to the senate as
well as to Postmaster-General
| Bissell.

THE PHILHARMoN1cs, CONCERT

An enthusiastic greeting was ac-
corded the New York Philharmonic
Club at Music Hall on Tuesday even
ing last, and the audience Was not
disappointed in their expectat ton of
a treat. From the quiet opening
number to the dainty, catchy closing
selection, the programme was a rich
one. In both sextette and quartette
work the Philharm onics play de-
lightfully their smooth and artistic
combina Of violin, viola, cello,
flute and double bass is effective and
very much enjoyed by lovers of gen
uine music. Mr.. Barth's solo cello
playing, Mr. Marcossou's perform
ance on the violin, Mr.. Weiner's flute
solo and Mr.. Elkinds manipula ton
of the double bass met with appre-
citation and fully deserved encores,
all save the latter responding.
Miss Weed is a favorite here, and
her singing on this occasion but
added to the good impression made
on her former visit. With a voice
clear and sweet and blending finely
with orchestral accompaniment, an
easy method and an attractive stage
presence, and happy in her selections,
her work is done with conscientious
attentive to detail, and the encores
awarded her were sincere expressions
of the pleasure she gave the audience
