The Building Of 1898.

Despite the business depression, an un.
usually large number OF buildings was
erected in Randolph during the year OIL
| 1895.
Over $4,000 were expended in building
projects, which include three large brick
blocks and seven dwelling houses that
would be a credit to any village In the
state.
Or. r. G. Morton's block cost its build
er in the vicinity OF 5000, while the cost
OF the Edison and Lams0n blocks, which
are one story higher than the Morton
block, amounted to 1000 apiece.
OF the residences, j. B. Drew's house on
Prospect avenue cost IS, 900; N. j. White
hills, on Highland avenue, IS 200; George
p. Woods, on the same street and not yet
finished, $4,000; Ernest Tracy's, near Pros.
pect avenue, fS,Ooo; +. 7. Huntington's, on
Weston street, about ~ 800; Drs. N. l.. and
Church streets, "a 900. There is also the
small dwelling house, which is in process
OF construction on South Main street and
is not yet near enough completion SO that
its cost can be very correctly estimated.
The tower and addition to "Mari-Cas.
tle," Colonel Chandler's summer resi-.
dence, together with the extensive re-
pairs on the main part OF the house, are
figured at 5000, and certainly "Mari-

seats in Vermont.
DR.. A. G. Bailey has laid out about
81 800 in charging and Improving his res
idence on South Pleasant street, and AL
bert Morse has spent something like $3.50
In remodeling his house on Central street,
while H. 8. Booth, also on Central street,
has added dormer window and piazza to
his residence at cost OF $l25.
Two hundred and fifty dollars have been
expended on "Idleton Cottage" and 81 300
In enlarging the Brooks block.
3. e. Evans paid 5000 for the fixtures
In bis new drug store, while the repairs
on that store and the Mann clothing store
cost Dubois q Gay 81 900.
Postmaster j. d. Wheeler invested $500
in boxes and other paraphernalia for the
new postoffice, piece OF public-spirited
enterprise ON his part that his fellow citi-
zens OF every political faith appreciate.
In order to suitably accommodate the
postoffice and Savings bank, the lower
part OF the Red Lion Inn block had to un.
dergo some repairs, and not far from $500
were expended.
The orly work In the building line at
tempted by the village the past year was
the addition to the Primary school house,
whose size was increased and the number
Of its rooms doubled at an expense Of
5000.

Claude D. Beedle OF Keene, N. H., has
a political article In the Nashua Daily
Telegraph, giving his opinion OF the pres
idential possibilities OF the National con-
vention. He thinks 1t idle for the friends
Of Hon. Thomas B. Reed to try to con-
vince the Republicans OF the whole coun-
try that he is the unanimous choice Of bis
party in the New England states, and says
that. while all may take pride In Tom
Reed as one Of the ablest living statesmen,
yet there is, In the opinion Of many, no
possible chance for him in the convention,
and few men in that body will be willing
to do more than tender him compliment
tary vote at the start. Mr.. Beedle goes on
to say,--.It Is my belief, shared with
many, that after the first ballot In the Ma
tional convention, our delegates 1.-THE New
Hampshire delegates) will be divided IN
their support Of candidates, even though
the delegates are all chosen on the Reed

appears to be good reason for believing
that Major Mckinley will be nominated
tor the presidency, and by the help OF
New Hampshire and the other New Eng
land states"
The assurance OF the American young
lady who occasionally condescends to go
out to work Is sometimes fairly stagger-
ing. That she shall be treated as one OF
the family has become quite common
stipulation on the part OF the princess
taking service, and many housekeepers,
rather than suffer the imputation OF being
s'stuck up" endure The annoyance OF hav-
ing stranger sit at their tables and occu-
py the family living rooms to the utter
prevention OF all conversation OF pri-
vate character. That the maid servant Is
than her employers, nobody for moment
doubts, but she rat her cheapens the value Of
her society by forcing it upon people who,
while approaching her qualities OF mind
and heart, would once In while enjoy
being left alone, to grovel, mayhap, on a
lower plane Of thought. One long suffer-
ing housekeeper thought the height OF
audacity had been reached when, on in
terviewing naughty damsel with the
idea OF employing her as "help," the
young person gave her would. be mistress
to understand that she should expect the
family to keep entirely clear OF the kitchen,
and should also want the use OF the par
Tor three evenings in the week. The dis
comfited housekeeper beat hasty retreat,
alleging that she wished to talk it over
with her husband. That individual, on
hearing the story, allowed that he didn't
want any of the royal family working for
him. Ae might sometimes find it con-
venient to 60 into the kitchen to grease
his boots; and If he did, he wanted to be
able to do it without getting written
permit from the hired girl; while the
daughter OF the house obstinately refused
to give up her rights in the parlor and re-
ceiye callers in the front hall, whenever
-. ..s handmaiden happened to have "com.i
pany."

Sudden Death Of Mrs. Annis Baldwin.
Mrs. Annis Baldwin, widow OF the late
Rev. Jonathan Baldwin, tor many years q
Baptist preacher in this vicinity, was
found dead In her bed last Thursday
morning.
Mrs. Baldwin, who was seventy six
years OF age, had been living alone In her
house at Peth, near neighbor having q
care to her general welfare while young
man attended to the fires and outdoor
chores.
That morning, when the man went in
to start the fires, be saw nothing OF Mrs.
Baldwin and calling to her, received no
response. She had died during the night
and was found lying in the restful atti.
tude in which she had dropped OF to
sleep.
Her son, f. w. Baldwin OF st. Adams,
superintendent of the Central Vermont
railroad, was at once summoned and ar
rived on the morning mail.
Only the day previous to her DEATH Mrs.
Baldwin was granted pension OF twelve
dollars a month with $3.50 back pay, and
the news OF her newly acquired indepen-
dence caused her unmixed delight. The
pension was granted on account OF her de-
ceased son, Henry, who was soldier ia
the late war.
Her death is supposed to have been
caused by heart disease, with which she
had been afflicted for some time.
The funeral was conducted at her late
home Saturday by the Rev. Seward Rob-
son, pastor OF the Randolph Baptist
church.
