Junior Exhibition.

The people of this vicinity should
not forget that the Juniors Of the High
school give their annual exhibition
tonight. The members of the junior
class, assisted by Miss Mary Mcleod,
have worked hard to make the exhibi-
tion a success and they deserve good
patronage. The sale OF, reserved seats
has been smaller than was expected.
Besides the declamations and recita-
tions, a fine musical program has been
arranged. The playing of the noted
violinist, Claude Fisher, will be the
feature of the evening A piano duet
will be played by j. F. O'Brien and
S. w. Wilder, and a soprano solo given
by Miss Marcia Sawyer. The proceeds
of the exhibition go to raise a debt of
$40 on the school piano.

High in the Air.

The iron stack near the Fall Noun
tain sulphite mill was painted Monday
by Joseph Sylvester. The stack rises
100 feet above the roof and is feet, 4
inches in diameter, containing 1866
square feet of surface which Mr.. Sylves-
ter covered in one day. When the
stack was raised, block with half inch
wire rope was attached to the top, and
this was used to draw Mr.. Sylvester to
the top in an iron cage especially con-
structed for the job. He has painted
many high .steeples, but says the stack
is the worst job he has ever tackled,
because it is a straight drop down with
nothing under till you reach the roof.
A photograph was taken from West
minister street during the operation,
showing the painter suspended near
the top of the stack.

Sensation at Jamaica.

The following telegram to the Rut-
land Herald yesterday tells its own
story ''The mystery of the baby's head
found in stone wall at Ashburnham
has been cleared up TO great extent by
the confession of Ada Chamberlain, 21
years old, of Wardsboro, VT. At West
Jamaica, VT, last night, she acknowl-
edged to State Inspector Murray of
Worcester that she was the mother of
the child, which was born in the mid
die of February. She says the child
was dead when she left it, but denies
cutting off the head, She was ar
raigned in Gardner, Mass, the 18th, as
she came to this state without extradi-
ton papers. She accuses a Vermont
man of betraying her, but he denies the
charge. Her parents are respectable
farmers.

What They Say OF Us.

The BELLOWS FALLS TIMES appears
TINS week for the first time under its
new management, and its appearance
Is so changed for the better as to be
scarcely recognizable. 1t exhibits new
ana handsome type, a radical change in
makeup, and a new heading, and it is
printed ON better grade of paper than
formerly. Moreover the TIMES starts
out with the promise of having opinions
OF It's own tersely and vigorously stated.
Messrs. Thayer and Belknap will make
the TIMES one of the best newspapers
in Vermont, which is praise enough
Free Press, Friday, May 10.
The BELLOWS FALLS TIMES this
week is decided improvement. A
new head, new editor, new make up,
and new headings all conspire 10 make
1t the best TIMES the "Fallsn has ever
had. The new firm is a sure winner.-
Springfield Reporter.
The last issue of the BELLOWS FALLS
ZINES was the first under the new
management and gave every indication
of the thorough improvement which
that journal will undergo. 1t has al
ways been a good newspaper but "a
new broom sweeps clean, y and the new
TIMES may be expected to be lust so
much better tnan the old TIMES as the
old TIMES was better than the average.

New Passenger Coaches.

The Fitchburg road has equipped a
new train which is to run between Bos-
ton, Fitchburg, and Rutland, passing
through Bellows Falls at $50 a. m. and
$50 p. m. A handsome passenger
coach and new combination smoker
and mail car just built at the Fitchburg
shops were placed on the train last Sat
urday and new baggage car was to
have come with them but had to have
a set of wheels changed
The combination car heretofore run
on this train has been dingy affair,
uncomfortable, and much out of date.
The new one is quite the opposite. 1t
is bright, airy, modern coach with
extra large windows, cane seats, large
double lamps, and all modern improve
Eteats. The interior is finished in
birch, beautifully polished. The smok-
ing apartment is large but still there is
plenty of room left for the mail clerks,
the car being a long one. The postal
room is fitted with modern conven-
fences, including reversible mail cases.

Mt. Kilburn Wheel Climb Election.

The annual meeting of the Mt. Kill
burn Wheel club was held Tuesday
evening and officers for the coming
year were elected as follows: Charles
HI. Gibson, president ; E. l.. Walker,
Herbert s. Gray. James Fl. O'Brien,
vice presidents George F. Ball secre-
tary: B. Cannon, Jr., treasurer r. G.
Bidwell, E. A. Norwood, Oscar Kemp,
finance committee c. E. Capron, j.
H. Blakley, G. l.. Provost, trustees.
The club has been in existence 10
years, all of which time III. d. Ryder
has been its president. He declined to
allow his name to be used again this
year, saying that decade was long
enough for any man to hold such an
office. 1t has been largely through his
influence that the club has been SO sue
cessful and become so influential in
social circles.
The club has a membership of nearly
80, two new members, l.. p. Thayer
and Alfred Dow being admitted at
this meeting The financial condition
of the club was never better and the
prospects for the future especially
bright. Ten years ago the club had
eight members, borrowed table, and a
large area of floor to spit on. Now
their rooms rank among the finest in
the clubs outside the cities and the fur
nishings represent an outlay of several
thousand dollars.

Local Theatrical Talent.

Meg's Diversion at Union Hall Tues
day evening drew house of at least
250. The play itself is humorous and
catchy and was well presented. The
cast was made up wholly of local talent,
and the players have received many
compliments on a happy hit. The fol
lowing was the cast: Jeremy Crow, a
farmer, A. c. Halliday; Ashley Mer-
ton, esq.,, R. g. Rice; Jasper Pidgeon, q
carpenter, E. r. Ball; Roland Pidgeon,
his brother, c. B. Underhill; Eytem, an
Exeter lawyer, III. H. Whitman; Cor
nelia and Meg, daughters of Crow, Miss
Nettie Wheeler and Miss Effie Ball
Mrs. Netwell, widow, Mrs. E. NJ.
Underhill.
To say that the entire company did
better than their audience expected
they would is praise enough. Perhaps
the best acting was done by Miss Nettie
Wheeler who possesses clear, strong
voice and has an easy, pleasing manner
on the stage. But this is no disparage-
ment to the other actors, all of whom
did remarkably well considering theiI
drill and experience.
Ice cream and cake were served and
Huntoon's orchestra furnished music.
After the entertainment, dancing was
enjoyed until 10 O'Clock. Forty-seven
couples were on the floor.

Improvements in the Opera House.

For the past week G. N. Caring of the
firm of Caring & Co. of Tonawanda, N.
Y, has been retouching and renewing
the curtain and the scenery at the
Opera House. The curtain was painted
about eight years ago and has not been
touched since. Mr.. Caring has done
good job and says the curtain is now
in first class condition
The sides of the drop curtain had
become badly worn and torn from con-
stant handling by actors who were
anxious for peep at the audience
before the play. The curtain has been
reinforced and stiffened, and signs on
the back warn all persons to keep their
hands off. Peep holes of isinglass have
been set in the curtain about two feet
from either side SO that the anxious
Thespians may watch the seats fill up
without exposing their make-ups to the
audience before the curtain rises.
The ''plain chamber" setting has
been entirely repainted, making prac-
tlSahy q liz" GNShSJ hdHOSOIIlSl
than the old one. Mr.. Caring may also
paint one or two new scenes, if arrange
ments can be made with the selectmen.
A new and improved hose reel with
hose and nozzle have been purchased
by the selectmen for the Opera House
stage This is in accordance with the
resolution of the voters at the last town
meeting and as advocated by The
TIMES at various times the past two
years. The reel is to be attached directly
to the water pipe and keeps the hose
filled with water at all times. The
shut-off is in the nozzle SO that in case
of fire the hose can be run out to any
part of the stage, the water turned on
at once to squelch the flames, and shut
off again without unnecessarily drench-
ing the stage and scenery. 1t is good
thing.

OUR WINTER OF Discomfort.
Gale on Lakes, Snow in Michigan, and Ice
In West Virginia.


Saturday afternoon suffering human
ity was seeking refuge from the oppres-
sive rays of the sun. The thermometer
registered over 80 degrees in the shade.
Fans, parasols, and summer clothing
were in great demand BY Sunday
morning the thermometer had dropped
fully 45 degrees, and winter wraps were
again resurrected. The light of Tues
day morning disclosed frost.
But this section of the state has not
suffered like other partsof the country.
All day Tuesday terrific gale on the
Great Lakes was in progress, the wind
blowing 80 miles an hour. There was
fearful drop in temperature all
through the northwest. 1t is estimated
that the grape crop in the Chatauqua
belt is entirely ruined, with loss of
S2,000,00O
At points in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan the temperature fell so degrees.
Snow to the depth of Il and l6 inches
fell in northern and western Michigan.
Ohio and Indiana suffered from
binding Gnow storm. Ice an inch deep
formed in West Virginia. The damage
to crops throughout the country cannot
be estimated.

Charges Against Seneca Haselton.

An important bit of diplomatic news
is the announcement that Seneca Hasel-
ton, of Vermont, United States minis ter
to Venezuela, is to be deprived of his
commission in consequence of serious
charges preferred against him by Ad-
miral Meade. The purpose of the
President to dispense with Mr.. Hasel-
toms services is based upon charges in
volving drunkenness preferred by Ad.
miral Meade, the result of the visit of
Admiral Meade's squadron to La
Guayra last March.
Mr.. Haselton says 81 can state posi-.
lively that / was not under the in
fuence of liquor as Admiral Meade has
charged and can bring any quantity OF
proof to show that l speak the truth" "
Mr.. Haselton may prefer counter
charges against Admiral Meade.
