The prohibitory wave which has been
sweeping over Wndham county struck
here Tuesday afternoon when Officers Cor
don of Brattleboro and wilkins Of this
place descended upon and raided the Ken
drick House, bent upon securing Landlord
James McNulty's Christmas supplies.
About eight gallons of gin, rum, whiskey,
brandy and other liquors were seized, con
demned, and ordered destroyed by the
court Landlord McNulty was charged
with keeping spirituous liquors with the in
tent TO sell, TO which he pleaded guilty and
was fined $40 and costs by Justice $. II.
sherman Of Brattleboro. He also pleaded
guilty 10 two first offences of selling. for
which he was fined $40 for each offence.
with costs, which he paid, about S65 in all.
The fine was very small owing to the fact
that during the four years which McNulty
has been here the Kendrick House has
been managed in a quiet and orderly way.
Naturally the raid has been the subject of
great amount of talk and there has been
not little speculation as TO who entered
the complaint. The states attorney SAYS
il was made by reputable citizen, but his
name he is lOath TO divulge

FRENCH ROADS.

There are five classes of roads, known
as national, departmental, grand com
munication, common interest, and ordi-
nary vicinal. The first are those magni-
ficent broad highways made and kept in
order by the central government. Most
of them old, some older than the monar-
chy itself. They were the great military
and diligence routes before the creation
of the railroads. They are of little ac-
count in this study, both because OF their
antiquity and because the people of Tarn
had scarcely anything to do with their
construction. Only five of them cross
the department, two hundred miles OF
this sort of road lying within its bound
aries
The next most important category OF
highways are departmental roads, which
are to the Tarn what the national roads
are to France. There;are thirty of them,
five hundred and sixty miles in length,
and they were built and are kept in order
with the funds of the whole department.
The remaining classes-grani COM
munication, common interest and ordi-
nary vicinal, whose nature is pretty
well explained by their nomenclature
are to-day officially designated by the
one name, vicinal roads. They are to be
counted. by scores and measured by
hundreds of miles. They are chiefly the
work of the communes, or towns and
villages, and 50 are more interesting to
us.-Theodore Stanton, in October

FINANCIAL AND OTHERWISE.

The feverish pulse and mercurial
movement of a speculative craze are be
ginning to be noted. Experienced men
see new estimates of values at hand based
on the initiation OF organized credit
With tie Government credit at the cen
tire, the money of account now available
can be doubled without danger. The
general knowledge that this new era OF
initiation is at hand will increase the cOur-

fronts finish prettily these gowns. The
skirt is six yards wide and is ornamented
with stitched bands The new sleeves
are all tight on the fore arm and above
are one or two immense pnffs or they are
the regulation gigot. Caps and all trim
mings which lengthen the shoulder are
very popular. Combinations in color
will qe used to great extent for evening
toilettes. Plain satins are employed for
revers Marie Antoinette fichus and other
such trimmings combined with velvet of
several shades. AprOpos of eolors the
blended cameleon is a popular novelty.
Framboise or raspberry red, prunell pur-
pie and scabieuse together with Dahlia
and Periwinkle shades, Prell and Mordore
brown are the leading novelties A new
blue is Bengal. The earliest autumn
hats are OF the fancy dark straws In
these new shades they are trimmed more
or less with rosettes and bows of velvet
mingled with fanciful birds. Creped
causes are very fashionable for evening
dresses Very charming effects are given
them by Persian coloring. The effect of
tucks is seen by many. Large plaids are
used as well as flowers and polka dots.
a novelty for fancy evening waists is a

with eolored embroidered flowers. A
novelty in skirts is pretty coat front of

ular In the new Fashion Magazines
published by A. Mcdowell 4 Co. 4
West 14th Street, New York, one sees a
large variety Of the latest STYLES which
are introduced for the coming season.
In looking over such collection of beau
tilul models comes a desire to be able to
cut and make them. The Mcdowell
schools for dress cutting are the largest
and most practical in the country. In
the finishing school dress may ba cut
and made while learning The proof of
the superiority of these schools and the
method OF cutting which they teach is
found in the fact that the Mcdowell
Drafting Machine is now acknowledged
to be the standard system of dress cutting.
1t offers the simplest method to learn,
the most rapid to use, and perfect fit
for all forms. This machine has received
the two highest rewards at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition as the most perfect
in existence.
