Hop Beer at Newfane.

The case of the State of Vermont VS..
Harry Pratt, the Newfane hotel pro-
prietor, for selling Eddy & Co.'s hop
beer, was tried before Justice Burdtt of
Newfane last Friday. The state claimed
that it was malt liquor within the
statute. The beer is taxed by the
United States as malt liquor and Eddy
q Co. of Brattleboro hold license as
wholesale dealers and advise their Gus
toners to secure retail dealers licenses.
Eddy & Co. testified that they did not
know whether the liquor contained any
malt and Druggist Chaplin, an expert
chemist, testified that he knew of no
way to ascertain the presence of malt
in the beer. The state claimed that
these facts brought the beer within the
statute and made Pratt guilty of viola
ton of the Prohibitory law, but the
court held otherwise and he was de-
clared not guilty and was discharged.

Bellows Falls News.
An Old Resident.

a. *. Adams il the oldest living res
ident of North Walpole, aud has fund
of anecdote and Renaissance almost
ineXhaustible. He first came to North
Walpole in 1919 and moved his family
there in 1852. Mr.. Adams says that he
built the house standing on the west
side of the road nearest to the toll
bridge, now occupied by James Hen
messy, ia 1852, and that there are but
two other houses now standing that
were built at that time, the old Chaplin
house nearly opposite where A. f..
Minis wv lives, and the house formerly
occupied by Michael Cornell, near the
ice house. The next oldest resident of
the place is Mrs. A. F. Minis, who is
daughter of Levi Chaplin.
Mr.. Adams remembers all about the
county road that runs from Charles
town to Westmoreland, and was first
laid out some over 100 years ago. He
also remembers a great deal about the
famous John Johnson who lived where
Michael Council formerly lived, and
about his father, Sylvanus johnson,
who lived near the North Pond on the
old road running over the hill from
South Charlestown to Walpole. 1t
was the elder Johnson who was cap
tured by the Indians and taken to Can
ada, and his wife who gave birth to a
child en- route which was ruthlessly
killed by their savage captors. This
family was with the Indians for some
time and finally re-captured in New
York by old General Putnam. One
of Johnson's daughters married an
Indian, and John johnson became so
used to their customs that even after
he had lived in North Walpole many
years he used occasionally to take his
blanket and go away into the noun
tains and be gone two weeks or a
month at time.
Mr.. Adams tells about strip of land
near the river that James Dorney
bought of A. F. Minis and raised
tobacco on it some go years ago, and
how that Mr.. Dorney's first crop nearly
paid the purchase price of the land
Mr.. Adams is so well posted on the
early history of Walpole that an hours
conversation with him is as good as
week spent with the books.

A Graduate Costume in 1918.
From Harper's Weekly

Aoiii Ai'i pSi w SShls'
The college youth of the period who
goes to his commencement ball in a
Tuxedo jacket, or arrays himself fol
class day in whatever hot-weathel
clothes the contemporary modes per
nit, may be interested to know how
seriously his forerunner in the early
part of the century took the mat.
ter of costume. THIS is what gradu-
ate of the University of North Carolina
wore to the commencement ball in the
year 1918 "My coat was Of broadcloth
of sea-green color, high velvet collar to
match, swallow-tail, pockets outside
with lapels, and large silver plated but
tons; white satin damask vest, show
ing the edge of blue under-vest; a
wife opening for bosom ruf1ies and no
shirt collar. The neck was dressed with
a layer of four or five three-cornered
cravats, artiscally laid, and surmounted
with cambria stock, plated and
buckled behind. My pantaloons were

muslin and showing a peach-blossom
tint; stockings We're fiesh-colored silk

queued. | should be taken for lunatic
or a harlequin in such costume now"
Perhaps he would. for fashions
change in so years. Still, young man
dressed in the garb of our great grand
fathers must have been an imposing
sight. Clothes did more for men in
those days than they do now; and for a
dif1ident youth just beginning to make
his polite advances to the young ladies
it must have been source of confidence
and reinsurance to have so much out
side of his mere personal self to submit
to the approval of society.

A VESTIBULED TRAIN

ON THE SOUTHERN sUsTAINs A WRECK.
 NO ONE KILLED.
 MACON, Ga., March 2O.--The southbound vestibuled train on the Southern railroad jumped the track at 2 o'clock near Jackson, Ga. !, and was almost completely wrecked. No one was killed and all the passengers escaped without serious injury.
 The engineer, whose name is not yet as- certained, was badly bruised, and the fre- man, Edward Roberts, was very seriously scaided. Neither had time to jump. The engineer put on the brakes ana thus saved the forward coaches from being crushed by the sleepers.
 All the coaches left the track except the last sleeper and all turned over. Dr. Ram kin, surgeon of the Illinois Central rail- road at Chicago, was on the train and gave the wounded prompt attention. Dr. Ram kin's hand was bruised, but no other pas sengers we injured more severely than he. The accident IS said to have been caused by the taking out of 6 rail in the track.

THE FIRST ACCIDENT
In the Government Building Proves
 Very Serious.
A Boys Terrible Fall Down the Elevator Shaft-HiS MiraC-
 uIous Escape.

The first accident in the government building of a serious nature occurred yes- terday afternoon.
 newsboy fell down the elevator shaft and had miraculous escape from instant death.
 From what could be learned it seems that Eddie Horkie, a paper carrier for the Even- ing News, went to the second floor of the government building to deliver papers. After performing his task he went to the stepped, as he thought, into the cage with the view of going to the upper floor.
 THE CAGE WAS NOT THERE, and he fell to the bottom of the shaft, striking the hard floor with sickening 2 a witness attending the United States court, now in session, hearing his scream and his body strike the floor, rushed to the cage entrance and discovered the little fel- low lying there badly mangled. To his horror he, in looking up,
 SAW THE CAGE DESCENDING and knew that unless 1t was arrested in its downward flight it would crush out what- ever sparks of life remained in the poor little fellow.
 He halloed to the manipulator of the ele- vator cage to stop it, which fortunately was done ere it reached the boys prostrate form.
 Kindly hands picked up the fallen boy and he was carried into Postmaster Cope lands office, and a surgeon hastily sum- moned. Dr, R. G. Copeland came and found that the little fellows right arm was broken just below the elbow, sn ugly cut was made under his left eye and he was a mass of bruises. His sufferings were allayed as much as possible, and he was conveyed in Miller & Co.'s ambulance to his home at Smith station ,on the Birming- ham and Bessemer dummy line.
 While his wounds were being dressed in Postmaster Copeland's private office the little fellow had two or three spasms. At last accounts he was resting as comfortably as could be expected.

MuRUAGA ALL RIGHT.

WAsHINaToN, March 20.-It is authori- tatively stated that there is no foundation for the report that Senor Muruaga will be recalled by his government upon the sug gestion of Secretary Gresham. Minister Muruaga is said to have been guilty of no imprudence which would make him per- soma non gratia to the government of tho United States. While he has spoken his mind freely with respect to the Allianca affairs, his friends say he has not violated any official propriety. That Minister Muruaga may before many weeks volun- tarily retire from Washington is not doubted in official circles. Should he do so, however, it will not be because of friction between himself and the secretary of state, but for purely personal reasons.i
 The Hawaiian minister, MT. Thurston, still declines to discuss the report that Sec retary Gresham has asked his government to recall him. He keeps what is officially known as "diplomatic silence" with res spect to the matter, and politely but firmly refuses to either deny or affirm the correct- ness of the story. No person in official life will discuss the subject, but every one else who may be assumed to have knowledge of it treats the recall as an assured fact, aud some trace the cause of it back to Mr. Thurston's comments upon Blount.

iu the city without license after April 1, and notice to that effect was ordered in- serted in local paper until April 1.
 Mir. Parker moved that the motion be laid on the table, but got no second.
 MT. Kettig's motion prevailed, MT. Parker voting no.
 Mir. Sims said the minutes had not been indexed for some time past and moved the clerk be instructed to index them. The motion was not seconded.
 An ordinance was introduced by Mir. Gillespie changing the date at which April 1 to May ]. he rules were sus- pended and the ordinance adopted.
 Also an ordinance with reference to exe- cutions issuet by the tax assessor was adopted.
 Tbe board also adopted an ordinance reg ulating the advertising of property to sat- isfy taxes. The board iudulged in consid- erabe discussion over the clause authorz- ing the tax collector to issue other execu- tions in cases where no bid was made for property.
 MT. McCartin offered the following reso. lution, which was adopted:
 Be it resolved by the mayor and aldermen of Birmingham, That where cases tried in the inferior criminal court shall have re- suited in conviction and the fine and costs imposed shall have been paid, the ordinary fees allowed by law to oonstables for serv- ing warrants, subj and other pro- cesses shall be allowed and paid out of the city treasury to any constable who shall serve the warrants, subpe mas and other processes In such cases.
 MT. Gillespie reported that the court had decided against the board in the mandamus proceedings instituted by Messrs. Bodeker and Oldham. Judge Sharpe, he said, had agreed not 10 issue the execution within ten days.
 On motion the board adiourued
