Mrs. A. f. Smith, Vermont'l
delegate to the late W. c. II. u
Worlds convention held in London,
spoke in the NJ. Z. church Wednes
day evening, the Both inst, to small
but appreciative audience. She re-
marked very feelingly upon the need,
commencement in 1904, and growth OF
the temperance movement to the
present time. Her description Of noted

tanning, particularly SO that of West
minister Abbey, the tower and Albert
hall where 10000 assembled TO listen
to words Of welcome from Miss Willard
and Lady Henry Somerset, chief
leaders in the great uprising of Chris
tian women against the use of strong
drink and narcotics, curse of the home
not only in our own country, but in
all lands and whose delegates were
present clad in their native costumes
and carrying flags of their own coun-
try. 1t would 1be impossible to de-
scribe the convention in detail but the
impression of the vastness of the
movement left on the minds of those
present must remain and prove an
incentive to greater personal effort in
putting down this awful sin against
God, Heaven and every land. A
collection was taken up at the close
which the speaker will donate to the
temple fund in Chicago. The singing
was especially good and appropriate.
1t came very near being three times
and out with II. M. Wood and the BIZ
cycle thieves this week. 1t will be
how energetically he re-
covered the wheel last year stolen from
Chas. Chandler. Later he traded for
it and this spring rented the same
wheel and it was the last he ever saw
OF it. Later another fellow stopping in
town and swelling round big, talked a
good deal with him about selling "a
wheel to him or trading one for Vie
tor offering revolver to boot, and
finally he rented one to go to Winches-
ter and that was the last seen of him.
Friday a man came in to rent one to
go to.Chcsterfeld Factory. Wood asked
him If he could give references and he
laughed and said he guessed SO"
said that was his home, gave his name
as A. j. La Plant, the son of a black
smith there, and said he was manager
Of the Rose Ethel Comedy Co., which
was then stopping at South Deorfield,
Mass. Finally Wood let him have the
wheel and didn't e.en exact rent in adj
vance, according to his terms. That
very day Chesterfield man came in to
'ent another wheel and predicted that
see it again, and telephone
inquiry day or two later, gave La
Plant bad recommend. He said he
would be back in season for the 2. 10
rain Saturday but he wasn't nor Sun
lay nor Monday and Wood began to
ook the thing up. He found that the
tory was all true about the home in
Chesterfield and the Comedy Co., and
hat La Plant was at South Deerfield
where the company was stranded and
lung up for hotel board bill. He got
mt the papers Wednesday and proceed
d to South Deerfield where he found
"a Plant at the depot. He said he had
the wheel to Geo. Wood" at
5rattleboro, as turned out to be the
act, but he couldn't pay the rent or
or the expense he had made. The
which consisted of two men
nd two women, had had good house
he night before but the other man
ras drunk and prevented the enter
ainment going on and they had had to
eturn the money at the box Office. But |
lnally with the assistance of Sheriff
BRIDGES, Wood got an order out of him
n his father for SO to cover the ex-
Expenses and $40 for the board bill and |
Wood went over and collected the $40 |
esterday and got promise of the $40.
