English Approve.
 The modern piazza is one of the few American institutions upon which Q Britisher condescendS to look with ia vor. An Englishman who has been travelling in the United States and wis iting a number of well-appointed sum mer houses, where the art of comfort has been attained to high degree, said to writer in the Boston Herald that he admired our piazzas particularly This sort of outdoor room is peculiar to American houses, and it struck him as being most delightful. Not that ''ver- andas" were unknown, by any means, in other parts of the world, but in Eng land people only had gardens or ter race, where they resorted in warm weather. The broad piazza so com mon to the seaside and country resi- dence here, and which is furnished as elaborately as any room in the home was unique. "You know, we London CTS are content with a bit of garden with our houses" And very lovely they are, too," interposed an auditor. ''Yes, so they are, with the ivied walls and the old trees and shrubsl We who are lucky to have gardens live in them in warm weather, but it is often damp, don't you know, on the ground. There are all sorts of devices in wicker fur niture to save us from rheumatism, and there are arbors, but l would like to buy one cf your piazzas and set itup at homei They are a charming inSti- tution,' as you Americans say"

Exciting Dance of the Potlach.

"One of the most exciting scenes I ever witnessed was an Alaskan pot lach," said A. L. Henry to Cincinnati Enquirer man. ''The Indians prepare for them for months in advance, and usually fast for few weeks in order to enjoy the occasion to the utmost. The potlach is festival given by the chief, not only to the members of hi own tribe, but to the neighboring tribes as well. The festivities consist of dancing, singing and games, whilo beeves are kept constantly roasting, it being perpetual barbecue for thirty days. The dancing nevsr ceases, and prizes are usually awarded to the per son who remains o7s the ground lorr- est. It is not infrequent for brave to dance unceasingly for twenty to thirty hours. At one given short time ago by Chief Strualeeps at least fifteen thousand dollars was expended, and in a private letter from friend there learned that another chief is soon to give one intended to eclipse that"

Secretary Austin spoke upon the Bible, its
heart in Christ, its aim faith, its evidences

its result character. Gen. Estey followed

could look at that company of boys and
not feel the immense power for good repre-

lies in the loyalty of the boys themselves
Their earnest attention Sunday afternoon
seemed to warrant the hope that the prin-

their convictions, and that the future
will show the fruit of them in a true and
high type of manliness.

NOTES FROM THE HALIFAX DEER
PARK.

Two or three wire-covered pens of
'fowls of the air." which arrived at the
express office last Friday, monopoized the
attention of passers-by, and aroused their
curiosity to such an extent that Mr.. TYLER.
in final desperate attempt at self-defence,
placarded them: YES, they are going to
the Halifax deer park; We don't know
what they are" When L. c. Houghton,
the owner of the park, arrived next dav
he said the strange visitors consisted of FIVE
Canadian wild geese three pairs of white
headed brant, and one pair of speekled-
breasted brant. The latter are the "old-
fashioned birds of that species which.
when the country was new, gathered in
the streams and lakes of Illinois by the
thousand and even by the million. They
will have an ideal home in the park with
its two large fish ponds, and will undoubt-
eddy thrive and multiply.
Mr.. Houghton, who arrived from his
home in Sheffield, H., about three weeks
ago, gives a very favorable report of his
first years experiment in attempting to
stock his deer park. The animals which
he brought here were mainly the common
Virginia deer, but in addition there were
three black-tailed deer, three elk and two
Angora goats. All wintered well. The
Virginia deer divided into two herds, one
a tame herd, the animals in which hover
near the buildings, and delight in human
society. They were fed oats and hay. be-
ginning in February, by Mr.. Houghton's
direction. The other herd is as wild as if
living in its native forest and the man who
hopes to get even as much as a glance at
one of these animals must have his wits
about him. To all appearances they win
tered as well as the tame herd, "yarding."
while the deep SHOWS were on, in re-
mote and secluded spot. Dogs entered
the park during the winter and worried
and killed three animals of the tame herd.
So far as known this was the only loss of
animals which has been sustained. except
that at the very first one deer escaped from
the park and has never been recaptured.
She has staid in the neighborhood, how
ever, and has been repeatedly seen. Dur
ing the summer she had twin fawns which
were seen with her at different times. OF
three Angora goats which were born one
got caught in fence and was strangled.
The trout in the ponds have grown IA
mously. The larger pond suffered a mis-
hap during the spring freshet, when the
dam was injured so that it was necessary
TO draw off the water. The sluiceway %
feet wide, which was provided, was sun
posed to be ample for an outlet. but when
repairs are made the width will be increased
to 100 feet. On the whole Mr.. Houghton
appears to be well pleased with his ven
ture, and he surely has everybody's good
wishes in carrying it forward

l FISH STORY WORTH TELLING.
Mrs. Durham Caught the Most, and
Brattleboro Holds the worlds Record


Brattleboro fishermen of the male per
suasion have withdrawn themselves to a
state of quiet and nconspicuous secluson
since the arrival and display on Tuesday,
at Durham Bros. store of sample pack
age Of four trout caught by Mrs. Charles
W. Durham in the largest of the Rancelev
lakes. These trout were of the square
tailed variety and weighed respectively
when caught, II, ), -, and pounds.
The last figure is right and not a misprint.
The trout were all caught in one day, May
"a. Mis-. Durham was very well satisfied
with her luck during the day, and it was
something of surprise party when the
real sport eventuated at 2j minutes past
in the evening. This was when the g.
FOUNDER struck her hook and was caught
through the back fin. The theory of his
being hooked in this inconvenent and ir-
regular way is that he missed the bait and
in rolling over struck the hook. He was
then about five feet below the surface, in
30 feet of water He made straight
for the bottom in so feet of water,
and for an hour and a half refused to come
toward the surface. He was landed at a
quarter of 8, or two hours and twenty
minutes after striking, having towed the
boat a mile in still water. Mrs. Durham
had no assistance in handling any of the
fish, no one taking the rod from her hands
until the guide had netted her catch. The
guide declared that he had never seen a
man handle his game more skillfully. Her
record beats any that has ever been made
in one day on the Rangeley lakes. There
are at the lakes some 40 sportsmen who
have tshed "the world over and they en-
Enthusiastically declare that Mrs. Durham
has beaten the worlds record on square
tailed trout. The news was wired to the
daily papers, "a reporter came from Rangeley
to write II up, and a camera-man was sent
for to make big photograph of Mrs. Dun
ham and her catch to hang in the hotel.
She held daily receptions for the admir-
ing visitors who passed up and down the
lake, while Mr. Durham found himself
relegated to the very modest and unim-
portant rank of ''the husband of the wom-
all who caught the big fish" The Phoenix
extends congratulations, and is glad for
once to tell big fish-story which it be-
| lieves to be true.
Mr.. and Mrs. Durham have been alb
sent about three weeks and will return
next week. They went first to Mr.. Dun
hams old home in West Paris, Ne, and
from there to the Rangeleys, accompanied
| by Mr.. Durham father

earthquake about half-past eleven Tues

over this village, and doors, windows and
emma were ratified. Many people heard
rumbllng sound, as if some strange, heavy
Vehlcle were going by, and went to doors
or windows to see what it was. Some peo-
PIE were nauseated by the motion. The
shock was felt all over this county and

THE TROLLEY TRIUMPHANT,
Chancellor ROwell Refuses an
INDUCTION.

IL Was II Good Fight Fought to the
Finish--~the Work of Construction Re-
gun Yesterday and Is Being Pushed
Rapidly.
The Brattleboro Street railroad compa-
ny won its case at every point 1t is very
much Ton earth, and construction work
began yesterday. The hearing on the two
bills of complaint for an injunction against
the road took place at Montpelier last Fri
day. Contrary to expectation and previ-
GUS announcement the case was heard only
by Chancellor Rowell, with Chief Judge
Ross as adviser, instead of the full bench.
1t is understood that upon mature consid-
Grafton the judges concluded that there was
no legal warrant for hearing by the full
bench, and that such a proceeding would
establish dangerous precedent. The ar
guments were made by Z. w. Stoddard of
Brattleboro and c. A. Prouty of Newport
for the cOmplainants, and E. L. Waterman
of Brattleboro and l.. M. Read of Bellows
Falls for the defendant company.
On Saturday Mr.. Stoddard had notice from
Judge Rowell that decision would be rem
dered Monday evening, and saying that, as
Mr.. Waterman was to be present, the court
would like to have Mr.. Stoddard there also
as representing the opposing side. Mr.
Stoddard went to Montpelier Monday, and
in the evening the counsel were called to-
gether and the decision was rendered as
follows:
