electricity is great moral power; that
it protects humanity better than the

Speaking Of church fairs brings to mind
the fact that very successful one has just
been held in Hartford, the scene Of the
famous political warfare conducted by
Ephraim Morris against the Rev. H. W.
Boyd, pastor Of the Congregational church,
because he voted for Cleveland. 1t will be
remembered that Ephraim demanded the
resignation of the mugwump parson, but
the parson seemed in no hurry to go and
so the church voted to retain him. This
caused Ephralm to wax wroth indeed and
he started church of his own. Because
of his antagonism and that of his family the
ladies were fearful that their fair would not
be a success; but their fears were not
realized. The precedent was established
that a Congregational preacher while a citi
zen Of Vermont can vote the democratic
ticket and not suffer official decapitation.

Liability of RumselIers.

Thanksgiving night, Charles Wellman,
aged p, loaded in a supply Of Bellows
Falls whiskey, and started along the Fitch
burg tracks in a hilarious and irresponsible
condition. The express train from Bos-
ton drew into the station shortly aftcrward,
and portions Of Mr.. Wellman were found
clinging to the wheels and strewn along
the track for half mile. 1t was discov-
cred that certain rumsellcr in Bellows
Falls had sold this boy liquor, and numer-
Gus state papers are becoming agitated
over the liability of this particular law
breaker for the terrible result. Now this
is the way it looks to the crank: The
rumseller was breaking the law in the first
place. He was probably doing it openly,
and with the connivance of those officials
who were supposed to bring him to punish
ment. In this event, | should like to know
why these precious officials, whose blessed
counterpart we see in every Vermont town,
are not equally liable for the death Of this
boy"
The above item appeared in recent
issue Of the Vermont Graphic. The writer
was little previous for it has not been
established that young Wellman got any of
his whiskey in Bellows Falls. But perhaps
the Graphic has some exclusive informa-
ton regarding the ''certain rumseller."

A Libel Suit.

l.. S. Hayes was in Chelsea last week,
defendant in the libel suit, Thatcher Stone
VS.. l.. S. Hayes. The plaintiff not being
ready for trial, the case was continued, the
plaintiff paying all the costs of the term
and $50 additional Mr.. Hayes was anX-
ious to have the case come to trial as he is
positive that the plaintiff cannot prevail
The suit arose over letter written by Mr..
Hayes to insurance agents in Boston re-
garding the burning Of the Maplcwood
hotel in Randolph Centre in the fall Of
1898. In the letter was this sentence, in
my Judgment | think you will be convinced
the proprietor of the hotel had the largest
incentive for fire and had made the most
money out of it." A copy of this letter was
obtained and suit brought for damages for
libel The case was set for hearing at the
last June term of court but was continued,
''bccause the mother-in-law of principal
counsel for plaintiff being sick and needing
his care, he could not give attention to the
case he desired" The case is now con-
tinued untilthe next June term of court.

A Successful Mission.

The eight day mission service conducted
by Bishop A. C. A. Hall came to close
last Sunday evening. The mission was a
success in every way. All the services
were well attended, and the Sunday and
evening services largely. The bishop by
his able discourses and kindly advice and
counsel won the esteem and respect of all.
The services will prove Of benefit not only
to the Episcopal church, but to the entire
community.
The sermon last Sunday morning was on
the subject, 1.-The General, or Final Judg-
ment,n and was one Of the best preached
during the week. Speaking of the Unita-
rian belief, which denies the divinity of
Christ, the bishop said wherever in
the Scriptures the Judgment is referred to,
Jesus Christ is alwaysthe central figure.
'sMuch of modern Unitarianism is the
perfectly natural reaction from Puritanism.
"sIn order to let Unitarianism into the
Bible, there must be careful revision of
the New Testament.
'HWe shrink from the idea Of being
finally judged by God, the creator and
preserver of the universe but there is
comfort in the thought that Christ who is
both human and divine will be the Judge"
Sunday evening Emmanuel church was
filled to its capacity. Bishop Halls address
was an eloquent and appropriate closing of
the services Of the week.

There has been considerable agitation in
various parts of the state during the past
week over the enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law. Several raids were made in
Barre but it is complained that notorious
dives were passed by and reputable mer-
chants victimized. Ne doubt the Barre
officials intend that the righteous and I'M
righteous shall suffer alike. In Montpelier
and Brattleboro hop beer has been before
the court, the question being whether this
kind of beer comes under the statute that
forbids the furnishing, selling or giving
away of ''malt liquors" Chemists have
Bsen called from Boston and Burlington to
analyze the stuff and determine what per
cent Of alcohol it contains but no two seem
to agree on results. In Montpelier the
jury was out SO hours, had plenty to eat
and drink, attended the theatre meanwhile
and finally reported disagreement. In
Brattleboro the Eddy brand of beer has
been under investigation. The outcome
will be watched with much interest
