1.-The Falls City"

Under this head the editor of the Lon
dondery Sitter who made visit to this
place recently says.
This is the designation of one of the
busiest places in Vermont-Bellows Falls.
During recent visit to this place the
writer, through the courtesy of friend,
enjoyed drive through theresidential part
of the village and was surprised to find the
wonderful improvements made during the
last 20 years, at which time he went over
the same route with the exception of the
many new streets, then cultivated or waste
lands. The taste displayed in houses,
lawns and surroundings were marked and
not excelled in places OF much more pre-
tension.
He also has few words of merited COM
mendation for two former residents of
Londonderry, F. B. Phelps and o. II.
Whitman.

T0rchlights.


A meeting Of the Young Mems Republi-
can club was held in the rooms in Union

that the state committee would send ex-
Gov. Dillingham; of Montpelier here for a
speech next Tuesday night, and it was

governor is one of the finest speakers in
the state and will draw large house.

evening and the town committee were
asked to provide at least 200 torches for
the procession.

w. Z. Conway, captain; j. H. Blakley,
LIST lieutenant; E. w. Parsons, I'd lieuten-
ant. One hundred caps and capes will be
ordered at once and each member of the
battalion will be asked to stand the cost OF
his own regalia, probably 80 cents per
man. If, however, there are any who do
not feel like doing this and will march,
they will be provided with regalia free.
Those who are to take part in the parade
are asked to meet in the rooms or in front
of Union block promptly at o'clock.
Every Republican in town is urged to take

Next.

John H. Senter, member of the demo-
cratic state committee, passed through

One who takes the pains to investigate
will be surprised at the number about town

25 years, perhaps most of the time in this
town, and yet have never taken out natu-

ercised the franchise of the ballot.

Caucus.

The Republican voters of the town Of
Rockingham are notified to meet at Town
hall, Bellows Falls, Saturday, August 10,
1896, at 5 P. NJ, for the purpose of nomi-
mating town representative and justice
ticket. (Signed)

Where is the Democratic flag? Echo
replies, in some dark and musty corner of
the town hall block. Will it be flung to
the breeze, proudly bearing the cabalistic
names "Bryan and Sewall?" No man
knoweth at least no Democrat seems to
know. Petty internal differences over
gold and silver now occupy the attention
of local politicians.

"Who is going to represent this town in
the next legislature?" was asked. "Oh,
whomever the ring favors," was the reply.
"Who comprise this ringP" 'sThe fel-
lows who pack caucuses and run things :"
Is this ring" against which there is per-
ennial kick real or imaginary? When
asked to name the parties comprising the
ring" not over six or ten names can be
given, and perhaps no two will name the
same list. Is it possible that half dozen
men can run politics in the town of Rock
ingham except by sufferancep 1t is said
that the fellows on the inside are strictly
in it, while the fellows on the outside are
given no show whatever. But isn't the
"outside" greater than the insidePn Can
one man lead 100 to the polls unless the
100 are willing to be ledp Reduced to
the last analysis, the "ring" in any town
or city consists of the citizens who take an
active interest and part in politics, and the
"outsiden the citizens who care little or
nothing for politics, rarely attend caucuses
and are not very particular whether they
vote even. A victory over any ''ring" that
exists in the town of Rockingham would
not be of sufficient Importance to warrant
a triumph, at least not after the Roman
style.

In 1894 Rockingham cast $40 votes for
Woodbury., and 1872 for Smith. Cigars
have been wagered in few instances that
the Democratic vote in September will not
reach 100. Others are of the opinion that
the vote will be larger than in 1894.

Some seem to think that there is deep,
dark conspiracy on foot, in fact that the
gubernatorial nomination fight is not set
tied. The alleged conspiracy consists Of
concerted action, so it is said. on the part
of the Stickney men to allow none but a
Stickney man to represent Rockingham

and denounce this conspiracy and bring
every Cataline to merited punishment!

PICK SMITHS ICE BOX.

1t Was Beautiful Bnt Was Entirely Too
Big.
Pick Smiths face is pale and wan and
thin His hair is grayer than it was.
Recently Pick decided that the ice
box at the Elks room was not large
enough and they would have to have d
larger one. So he sat up one night and
measured it himself and decided that he
would have to have an ice box about six
feet wide by eight feet long by five feet
high.
1t was completed Saturday and when
the varnish on it was all dry Mr.. Smith
stood off and gazed at it from all sides in
satisfied admire tion.
1t was delivered at the Masonic build
ing on the third floor of which the Elks
rooms are and the men took it in to the
hall
1t is there now.
1t won't go up stairs by several inches;
it won't go into the elevator by several
feet, and even if it was up stairs it could
not be put in the E1ks door unless the
door was enlarged or the box sawed in
two.
The only thing left to do is to have the
building remodeled aud Pick will begin
figuring with an architect today

lists edged by gold fringe. The coat is
drawn in ut tho waist by cloth belt fas-
toned with gold buckle, and the buttons
are covered with black and gold thread.
Fancy velvets are much used for short
opera wraps, blouses and Louis QuinZe
coats, as we'll as for trimming. Stripes
seem to com mand the greatest favor.
Black and white in combination con-
tinue to be very fashionable, and many
leading designs devote special attention to
costumes Of this kind.
Princess and redingote costumes are
seen more and moro frequently and are
exceedingly becoming to stout figures.
There arc many ingenious ways of arrang-
ing the trimming to enhance the slender
effect of these one pieco gowns, and it is
probably only the fact that they are not as
generally useful as two piece costumes
that prevents them from being largely
worn.
The cut illustrates gown of jaequeminot
peau dc sole. The godet skirt is plain,
save for two bands of sable inclosing the
tablier and terminating in natural beads.
The bodice has ohemisette of white lace,
on either side of which is band of white
cloth embroidered in rose and bordered
sole have deep cuffs of white embroidered
CLOTH and the cuffs are slashed to show
under pieces of the same cloth, the slashes
being edged with sable. The belt and the
shoulder and elbow knots are of rose red
velvet, the collarette of white silk gauze.

very becoming to slender figures. The
fichu may be made of the same goods as
the gown or of net, nainsook or lace. The
shape that passes around the waist and
ties behind is less attractive than those
that fasten in front with large or short
ends, because the wrapping of SO much
loose fabric around the figure makes it
look clumsy.

1t looks as if there were to be return
to slender simplicity again, for some of
tho exclusive novelties in jackets are tight
fitting and without revers or a large col
lar; also sleeves fitting close to the arm
are seen in several of the newest models of
bodices. If sleeves are really to decidedly
diminish and the present large masses of
trimming to be omitted from the corsage.
skirts must of necessity become smaller
in order to keep in harmonious proportion
to tho upper part of the figure. The tend

plainness of make, and the magnificent
goods now worn will quite likely give an
impetus in the direction of simple styles.
