A HANDSOME STORE.
a. T.. Miller. the ConTotioner and Ca
terer. VIII Open His Brooks House
SIhre To-morroN.

terer, VIII Open His Brooks House
store Tomorrow.
A. l.. Miller, the well-kuown confec-
toner and caterer, will open his new store
in the Brooks House block tomorrow after
noon. The store, which is the one occu-
pied for many years by the late b. y.
Chamberlain and more recently by ). W.
Edgett has been newly fitted throughout.
The depth OF the store is 81 feet, of which
a feet is given up 10 the retail candy,
fruit and ice cream business. At the right
as one enters. is the new tile soda foun-
tain, with its lG-inch extension, in which
are heavy plate mirrors The fountain is
seven feet high and seven feet wide The
decorations of the upper part OF the foun-
tain are in white and gold. In front of the
fountain, which is made by the Low Art
Tile company Of Boston, is a marble top
counter. The rest of the space on the
north side of the store will be occupied by
small tables for the ice cream trade. Mr..
Miller also intends by another season 20
serve light lunches here. The south side
of the store will be devoted entirely to the
retail candy trade, and the counters, cases
and shelves are built for displaying that
line of goods to the best advantage. The
ceiling and walls have been newly frescoed
and all the fittings glsten with white
enamel paint. At the end of the retail
store two paneled partitions separate the
office and rear room from the main sales
room. Between these partitions, but far
enough in the rear to allow of two blind
doorways, is a large plate mirror, which
with the half dozen or more large mirrors
placed about the store will add TO the gen.
eral attractiveness of the place.
The room in the rear will he used as
kitchen and store room, while in the base
ment will be rooms for the ice cream and
candy makers and for the storage of fruits
and candies.
To aid in the further development Of his
catering and fancy ice cream and candy
business, Mr.. Miller has engaged A. A.
Nogel of New York, who comes here
highly recommended as an expert confec-
toner and baker. Mr.. Vogel, beside being
with other New York firms, was employed
for several years by Huyler, the famous
New FORK confectioner.
The store will be open tomorrow after
noon for the inspection of the public.

CHURCH AND SOCIETY.
bishop Hail on Missionary ColIeotIo,

Bishop Hall on Missionary Collections.
Episcopal churches throughout Vermont
have received an interesting letter from
Bishop Hall relating TO the financial mat
tiers of the diocese. Among the promi-
nent subjects is the requirement upon mis-
sionary churches to pay their proportional
stipend to the treasurer of the missionary
committee promptly the first of the month,
TO which will be added the societies por-
ton and payments made to clergymen
more regularly. He hopes for the early
establishment of a common fHnd from
which all missionaries may be paid, per-
haps an increasing stipend, graduated TO
the length of service; recommends a rule
that in all churches each collection be
counted and recorded by two persons in
book kept in the vestry for the purpose,
each entry to be certified to by the two,
thus avoiding chances for errors or ques-
tions; reminds churches to obey the can
ons of the church requiring four annual
collections for diocesan missions, one for
eign and one domestic missionary collec-
ton. The last diocesan convention au-
thorized appropriations requiring a 25 per
cent increase in contributions over former
years. The bishop urges that this will be
equaled and possibly exceeded this year.
There will be no meeting of the Baptist
Christian Endeavor society next week.
The annual Christmas concert will be
given by the Congregational Sunday school
next Sunday evening.
The EMISSION of mother-in-law' will be
the subject of Mr.. Temples sermon next

sued, the sooner 1t is effected the bet

the conflicting elements in the old par

70 per cent Of the democrats who believe
in free silver and equal treatment of
both metals will break away from their
plutocratic gold-standard coadjutors in
the east. About % per cent Of the re-
publicans will do the same thing. These
seceders will go over en- masse to the
populists. It's easy to predict what will
be the result. The populists will come
into control in every branch Of the gov
eminent and 1t will be administered in

ONSLAUGHT" ON CONGRESS-.
To Relieve the Central and Union
Pacific Railroads.

To Relieve the Central and Union
Pacific Railroads.
1t is said w. X. Vanderbilt and George
Gould have made deal by which they
Will obtain control of the Central and
Union Pacific lines, which, with the
Northwestern and eastern lines, will
give them a through line from New
York to San Francisco. If the govern
ment had sense enough to foreclose the
mortgages 1t has on these roads 1t could
prevent a huge railroad monopoly get
ting possession Of them, and at the
same time demonstrate the practicable
ty of government ownership Of rail-
roads.
But our government Is in the interest
OF corporations and not in the interest
OF the people, for what corporations
ask for they get and what the people
ask for in the way Of legislation they
can never obtain.
The dispatches which announce this
monopolistic deal close with this very
significant paragraph:
Before any action is taken deter
mined onslaught will be made upon
congress to secure some action that will
relieve the new company from the bur-
den Of the government debt"
An Onslaught upon congress" by
railroad monopoly under the direction
of Chauneey Depew and Marvin Hughitt
means that money and influence with
out limit will be brought to bear upon
each individual congressman to secure
the passage Of an act extending the
mortgages on the Pacific roads, fund,
ing the Indebtedness at a low rate Of
interest and making them payable In
SO years. :
As our congress is composed mostly
Of lawyers accustomed to taking fees,
the Goulds and Vanderbilts (GOths and
Vandals) will probably get all they
want.
This mortgage which the government
holds against a monopoly should be
treated just as Shylocks treat farm
it and take pos
session.
If we had a populist congress and a
populist president this thing would be
done.
But wait, the populists will get there
yet.-Chicago Sentinel.

Arley each heard the throbbing Of their
own hearts and Annie's sibilant breath

the feeble candle flame. a moth dashed
madly through 1t; the doctor put some

complaining woman; and the querulous
tone Of Annie's voice irritated him. He
knew that he was not good-tempered,
was ungracious, taciturn, irritable.
Annie should have known 1t too, and
forborne to worry him. A whole day
often passed without word from him;
he meant no harm; he hated senseless
chatter; she knew it was only his way.
Yet he promised his conscience that IL
Annie were but spared, he would be
kinder, more sociable, gentler for ever

He turned sick, and pressed his heels

bility was infinitesimal The cob
quickened his weary trot; Stephen
thought he might be too late.

dow, watching the street lamps sparkle
out on the dusk. and few silver stars
point the pale strip Of sky that ran like
river between the black roofs. He
saw the untasted supper in the oppo-
site room, where no one remembered
to draw the blinds, and caught the
gleam Of Mrs. Newman's white gown
as she passed the open doors, pacing
disconsolate in the garden, waiting for
her husband.
And always, he saw the spare, sinewy
figure of Stephen Adams; his sun
burnt, hard-featured face, with red
brown beard and thick hair matted
over his strong. stubborn forehead
Always he heard the, words: "Shot
