Death OF Rev. Edmund X. Alden.

Rev. DR.. Edmund X. Alden, for nearly
score of years home secretary of the Amer
lean board and as a conservative identified
with the great controversies that mission
airy organization has passed through, died
at his home in Boston yesterday. DR.. AL
den was born in Randolph, this state, in
1925. He graduated from Amherst col
lege and the Andover theological semin-
airy and filed pastorates in Yarmouth,
Maine, and Lenox, Mass, before being
called to the secretaryship of the Ameri-
can board. His death following so soon
after that of DR.. Y. G.. Clark, the foreign
secretary, removes two pillars which for a
long time stood together in the American
board councils. Both were Vermonters,
DR.. Clark having been born in Cabot.

The Unity club held its annual supper
on Friday evening, it being a very enjoya-
BILE evening to the participants. The in
vited guests and members, numbering
about 70, sat down to the supper about
1880. 1t is enough to say of the supper
that it was one of the Mortified ladies'
best. After this had been fully discussed,
the president of the evening, DR.. N. P.
Wood, after a few preliminary remarks,
introduced the speaker of the evening,
Rev. G. Glenn Atkins of Greenfield, who
spoke for about half hour on "The dam
gers of the culture cult" The speaker
could not have selected a more appropri-
ate subject, treating it in a pithy, logical,
eloquent manner. He held the close at
tention of the audience. Following him
were Superintendent j. E. Warren and j.
N. Clapp, both of whom spoke in happy,
interesting manner. Several musical num-
bers were acceptably rendered, notable
among them being a solo by Miss Fannie
Duncan and cornet solo by Wallace Hol-

entertainment this closes the season work
of the club. 1t will resume work late in

VERMONT ACADEMY WON.


Vermont Academy maintained its record
of always winning from Mt. Hermon in
base ball in the game on the Brattleboro
grounds Monday, which resulted in a score
of TO .. The contest was not as inter
esting as the figures would indicate. The
hitting was very weak, there were several
collisions of fielders who were attempting
to handle the ball, and the base running
was listless. Johnston was the speedier
pitcher, but he gave four bases on balls,
and hit three batsmen. Fox had perfect
command of the ball, and it was largely
his work that brought the victory to the
boys from Saxtons River. Fox struck out
Is men, while IL went down in eight inn
ings before Johnston's curves. Both were
supported behind the bat, Whittemore and
Robinson taking high rank as preparatory
school catchers. Johnston led both teams
in batting and base running and his long
est drive would have been a three Dagger
but for the stupid base running:of the man
who preceded him. Douglas made two
difficult catches in right field.

GRAFTON.


A pretty house wedding occurred at the
well-known residence of Charles Fl. Jelli-
son mt o'clock Wednesday morning, the
Goth of April. The contracting parties
were Maude Alice, an only daughter, and
Albert Elmer Cross of Clinton, Mass. The
ceremony was celebrated under festoons of
ground pine, which extended disgonally
across the parlor. House plants with
bright blossoms contributed their beauty
and fragrance, and from an elevation to
the rear of the bridal party was a Gala
with two pure white flowers in full bloom.
Edward Marvin Cross of Clinton, the
younger brother of the groom, did duty as
best man, and Mabel Adelaide Colburn of
Francestown, N. H., was maid of honor.
The bride wore beautiful white silk gown
trimmed with lace, and her maid was also
attired in white. The former carried
bridal bouquet of white roses, the latter
bore one of pink buds and flowers. After
Mrs. II. H. Kimball played the wedding
march, Rev. VIM. r. Baldwin of Saxtons
River performed the ceremony, which was

of an elegant Elgin gold watch, the gift of
the groom, and he received from the bride
a heavy gold ring. Mr.. and Mrs. Cross
will enjoy tour of fortnight, and then
will made Clinton, Mass, their home.
Their many friends, both here and there,

Illinois for Mckinley.

After long contest, the Illinois Repub-

yesterday, finally instructed its delegates
to the national convention in favor of Nc
Kinley. The Cullom supporters tried hard
TO secure the Endorsement of the conven-
ton for the Illinois candidate, but the
sentiment of the delegates, especially those
from the country districts, was strongly
in favor of Mckinley, and could not be
turned aside to the advantage of any other
leader. The motion to instruct delegates
for Mckinley was finally made unanimous,
and the convention gave itself up to a
demonstration of enthusiasm such as is
seldom seen, even in political assembly.

LATE NEWS.
Woodbury-Herald Libel Suit.
GOV. woodbury. on the stand Yesterda,

Gov. Woodbury. on the stand Yesterday.
In the bearing on Gov. Woodbury's IL
bel suit against the Rutland Herald re-
ported on the second page of this paper,
the time yesterday was taken with evidence
on the governors side of the case. After
several other witnesses had been examined
he took the stand himself and related
how he came to buy the Van Ness House
in 1881.
His instructions to his managers and
employees had always been to have nothing
to do with the furnishing or sale of liquors.
Once when he had seen a bell boy being
sent for liquor he told the manager this
must not be done. He forbade his head
waiter to keep lager beer in his room for
guests. He protested against the serving
of wine at the drummers' banquet by the
managers of that affair, but did not posi-
lively forbid IL. When asked why he did
not positively forbid employees to bring
liquors into the house he said because he
did not think this necessary. He thought
his general instructions to obey the law
enough. He signed the law of 1894 max
ing buildings where liquors are sold a nui-
sance, and providing fine and imprison-
ment for those keeping a common nuisance.
Had forgotten about some of the provis-
ions of the law.
The evidence will be finished to-day or
tomorrow when the judges will take the
case. The arguments of counsel are to be
presented in writing

Republican leaders of prominence are gath

Major McKinley's friends naturally are
elated at the flattering support given to
their candidate by good old Republican
states like Vermont. None among them
is more highly pleased than Gen. Charles
II. Grosvenor of Ohio, who has been time
keeper for Mckinley in the presidential
race.
"Why," exclaimed General Grosvenor
yesterday on hearing the news from Yer
mont, "that settles it. tell you, sir, on
my word of honor, sir, there will be no bal
lot taken in the st. Louis convention.
Major Mckinley will be nominated by ac-
clamation. What is the use of talking
about defeating candidate who will go to
the convention with an absolute majority
of all the delegates? All Republicans
might just as we'll turn in and make the
convention a ratification meeting"

Three Per Cent Beer.
From the Boston Transcript

A very interesting and important decis-
ion has been given by the United States
district court of Vermont Judge Wheeler
of that court has decided that three per
cent beer is an intoxicating liquor, and
fined two Burlington dealers in that fluid
for selling it without United States IL
cense. The local magistrates have been a
good deal puzzled to decide the status of
this beverage, and in default of any decis-
ion on their part as to whether it was or
was not Intoxicating liquor" within the
meaning of the Vermont law, Vermonters
have drunk good deal of it, with the com
forting assurance that their joviality was
not contemptuous of the prohibitory statute
Now that United States judge has cut
the Gordian knot with trenchant decision,
Vermonters will have TO become hardened
indeed to continue to imbibe "three per
cent"
