CONTRIBUTIONS IN A GOOD CAUSE


Members of the local circle of Kings
Daughters are engaged in the collection of
a generous contribution of provisions,
clothing other articles of use, and money,
to be sent to the "Home for Friendless
Women in Burlington. This home was
chartered in 1890, with prominent women
from different parts of Vermont for direct
ors, and Mrs Frederick Billings as president.
Its object is to rescue homeless or friend
less girls from ruin, and to restore them to
reputable, self-respecting lives. Betrayed
or deserted young women are cared for
when about to become mothers, and are
kept in the home until they are prepared
to go out to find some other than an out
casts place in society. In the Is months
of its existence 10 such girls have been
cared for. Its work was necessarily begun
on a slender basis and the home is in need
of such aid as the people of the state are
willing TO give. In the present instance
merchants and other citizens of this village
have given literally. The Central Yer
mont railroad will carry to Burlington free
of charge whatever is contributed. Any
and all people who are willing TO give pro-
visions OF any kind, including meats, vege-
tables and fruits, and substantial articles
of women's clothing, are requested to no
tify MIR, Harlow at the Farmers IL Me
chanics' Exchange 1t is proposed to
make the shipment by Wednesday.

GRAND OPERA IN BRATTLBBoRo
The Third Act Of Faust by -Four Of the
Leading singers of America.

The arrangements for the concert by the
Boston Festival orchestra have been com
pleted, and ii is safe to predict that this
event, which will take place Thursday
evening, April IL, and which will be the
last entertainment given in the present
town hall, will be a notable one in the mu-
steal history of Bratteboro. The entire
Boston Festival orchestra of forty-five per
formers will appear, led by their gifted con-
ductOr, Emil MOllenhauer, and assisted by
not less than six great vocal and instru-
mental soloists The plan of the concert is
as follows:
Part ] will be a miscellaneous concert of
an hour by orchestra and soloists, in which
Miss Gertrude May Stein, contralto, Will
liam II. Clarke, basso, Van Neachton
Rogers, harpist, and William H. Sherwood,
pianist will all be heard in solo numbers
Part will consist of the entire third
act of Gounod's Faust" given in COS
tune, and with scenic effects, and with the
following powerful cast.
Marguerite Miss Rose Stewart
Nerth. Miss Gertrude May Stein.
| Faust William H. Rieger.
| Mephistopheles WIN II Clarke
OF the artists mentioned only Miss Stew
art has been heard in Brattleboro. The
music of Marguerite is admirably adapted
/ TO her voice, and in every way she will be
/ thoroughly charming in that role
Miss STEMS career in the past few years
has been phenomenal, and she is by critics
! considered the foremost cOntraltO in Amer
| lea.
Mr. Rieger is universally acknowledged
| to be the best American tenor, while Mr..
! Clarke, with his magnificent basso pro
/ tundo, is said to represent the ideal Me
| phistO. Mr.. Sherwood. who is at present
at the head of the piano department of the
| Chicago conservatory of music, is unques-
tionaOly Americas greatest pianist.
At the close of part !, the orchestra will
be placed upon the floor in front of the
stage and while the stage is being pre-
pared for the opera to follow the orchestra
will perform the entire ballet music from
Faust. This music, written in the form OF
an orchestral suite, will be specially at.
tractive, preceding as it will the third act
| of "GounOd's Divine Opera There is
perhaps no opera from which single acI
can be taken that in itself is so complete
as the third act of Faust, containing as il
does the very gems of the entire opera
The stage carpenters and scene painters Of
the Boston theatre are now at work pre-
pairing the stage settings and it is the in
tention of the manager, George W. Stew
art, to present the opera in manner
worthy of the high reputation of the Bos
ton Festival orchestra.
As this will be the first opportunity giver
to Bratteboro TO hear grand opera suns
and acted by great artists, and supported
by grand orchestra, no doubt the entir,
capacity OF the town hall will be taxed

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, March 2S.-Speculation at the
Stock exchange today was far less active,
the sales footing up only $4,000 shares.
The falling off in business was the result
of the indsposit!on of operators to enter
into new engagements pending definite
action by the anthracite coal presidents.
The latter were in session all day and 1t
was said that the meeting had been en-
tirely harmonious. 1t was not expected,
however, that the presidents could solve
the knotty questions at issue at one ses-
sion and consequently no disappointment
was felt. The trading in the anthracites
was on u smaller scale than usual, and the
fluctuations narrower. Lackawanna de-
clned from 1924 to 159s4 and closed at 16Ola.
Delaware and Hudson sold down from
1878 to 1865 and later advanced TO 1277s,
Jersey Central fell from 81 to 93ls and rose
TO 9iia. Reading sold down from 1872 20
1875 and closed at 1874. The report that j.
Pierpont Morgan had indorsed the Earle
Olcott reorganization plan could not be
confirmed here. The railway group was
without feature. In the Industrials Sugar
fell to $685. and then rose to 1908. Distill-
ing was stronger and rose IA. Specula-
ton left off firm.
