GORMAN SPEAKS!
He is With the People for
Bryan.

On Tuesday night Mr.. German
made short speech at Laurel, Md,
i'll which he pledged his support to
Bryan and Sewall and the cause OF
the plain people OF Maryland as
against the greed OF corporations who
would and have almost wrecked the
country. He said he had been gibbit-
ted as belonging to trust and now
the very people and the Baltimore
.Sm who had thus accused him,
were themselves in the power of the
worst kind of a trust. Mr.. German
condemned the Legislature of 1895
for passing a registration law that
would compel the farmers and work
ingmen of Maryland who were already
registered to lose at least halt a
day in being newly registered. In the
course of his remarks Senator German
said
Il am always delighted to I've among
this people. You are my neighbors,
my fellow-ciiizens. and | am glad to
say YOU have always stayed loyal. and

At the Opera House Saturday Night.

The first presentation of "The Widow
Bedott" that has been seen in this city for
several years was given at Cooks Opera
House with Horace Ewing in the title role,
supported by capable company. Mr..
Ewing's presentation of the part OF the
widow is all that could be desired, and he
succeeded in keeping the audience in con-
tinuous roar of laughter.
The play is very funny and abounds in
ludicrous situations, and the widow is a
a type the mere appearance of whom
creates amusement. Mr.. Ewing's makeup
was excellent and he brought out the ridi-
culous in droll way that was very taking.
The remainder Of the company was pretty
evenly balanced, and all played their parts
well. G. B. Bates, as Elder Sniffles, was
particularly good, showing thorough under
standing of the character.
Many new specialities have been added
in the way of popular songs and the men,s
bers OF the company all have excellent
voices. The interest never tagged through
out the three acts, and the audience seemed
thoroughly pleased. and Chron-
icle, Rochester, N. Y.

The White Mountains of Japan.

Readers of the Independent have noted
in the current issue letter from Rev. Mr..
bearing, written from Karuizawa, Japan,
and giving description of that missiona-
ries' White Mountain resort. But the fol-
lowing penned by Grafton girl, Sax
tons River teacher, who has been a guest
at Mr.. Bearings, will crafty her circle Of
friends little more than the former. Miss
Converse was expected home this season
by many, and the letter will answer the
frequent inquiry, "Where is Miss Con-

favorite resort of the tired missionary Of
both Japan and China. About 400 have
been here this summer. 1t is broad
plain, about mile square, which is over
3 ZOO feet above the level of the sea. We
can reach it by rail now. The Japanese
have pushed their way up and through
mountains and so on to the western coast.
The last stage of our journey we pass
through SO tunnels, catching, as we pass

begins to pass off, and we become con-

of good old New England. 1t seems
hardly possible that there can be such a
difference in the air in SO short distance.

c. E. Carey's Suicide.

We give below press dispatch regard
ing the suicide of c. E. Carey who for
merly did newspaper work in Bellows Falls
not on the TIMES, however, as reported
but on the Argus published by Hiram
Atkins. The part relating to being kicked
down stairs reads like joke.
Cheater E. Carey, a prominent either
of Hanover, and long well known as ar
able newspaper man, committed suicide
Friday night by shooting himself through
the head. He was a native of Washing.
ton, d. c., and had travelled extensively
through the south and the west. He had
been life long printer, working for sew
eral years in Hanover. He learned the
trade in the Montpelier Argus and Patriot
office and Bellows Falls TIMES. He started
the Littleton IN. H. Republic. He was
an eccentric individual, and he is said to
have hoisted rebel flag from the roof O.
the Montpelier Argus building, for which
the proprietor kicked him down two flights
of stairs. He was Sc years of age. lie
had been in poor health, and dependency
is supposed to have caused the deed.

An Old Maids Psalm Of Lie.

The following stanzas were sent to thi
office from Grafton. We never before mis-
trusted that this town abounded in oil,
maids, or had an atmosphere conduciv
to the production of poetry.
Tell me not of love and marriage,
All OF which is an empty dream,
Be this lesson to disparage
Men are not what they seem.
Life is real, life is earnest
And marriage not its goal;
For many by divorce returnest
Sick of life in heart and soul.
Not enjoyment, but to sorrow
Does marriage pave the way,
Then we maidens let the morrow
Find you single as to-day.
Art is long but love is flceting,
And young girls SO bright and gay
Will find in wedlock dreadful cheating
AS they go sadly on their way.
In the worlds broad field we live in,
In the hivouac of your lives,
BE not like poor slaves of women,
BE not among unhappy wives.
Trust no man, howe'er pleasant
AS he II act so till he's wed,
Then he'll straightway grow unpleasant,
And you'll wish that you were dead.
Lives of "old maids all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime
And departing leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints that perhaps another,
Sailing Ger lite's solemn main
Will show by the good they do to others
cThat "old maids do not live in vain.
Let us then be up and doing
Without looking for mate,
Still on earth good works pursuing,
Continue on in single state.
AN OLD MAID.

"Speech is diluted silence and money
commercial blood" Good money never
makes times hard. Poor money never
made good times. A government revenue
exceeding expenses never produced hard
times. A deficient revenue in individual or
national expenses always leads to disaster.

provide revenue for all expenses or its
credit will be in constant jeopardy He

spectability of the American name, to ans

it. Promote that comfort and contentment

Mile. Brazil at BrattIeboro.

The music loving public of Brattleboro
and vicinity enjoyed rare treat in the
auditorium in that place last Friday even
ing, the occasion being the song recital
given by Mile. Brazil (Mrs. Harriet
Brazor Pratt). Brattleboro is the home of
this accomplished artist, and as it had been
five years since her townspeople had heard
her on the stage, the expectation was
great but was fully realized. Nearly
every seat in the auditorium was occupied
and the beautiful singer was given perfect
ovation. Flowers we're presented by boys
and thrown in bouquets from the audience,
and the applause was hearty and at times
long continued. The reception given the
singer by her neighbors and friends was
Aattering to the last degree, yet she bore
all her honors with charming modesty.
She sang kathleen Mavourneen" with
exquisite pathos and feeling, and "Mignon"
SO charmingly that her audience was COM
pletely carried away. ''The Two Sisters"
was rendered in highly dramatic manner
giving some idea of her power as an oper-
attic singer.
Mile. Brazil is a lady Of superior beauty
and pleasing manner on the stage; some in
her audience being SO pleased that they
declared enthusiastically that they never
saw more beautiful woman on any stage
The singer was assisted by Herman
Riedrich violincellist, and Victor Harris
pianist OF the Seidl orchestra
1t is now a little more than seven years
since Mile Brazil went abroad to cultivate
her voice. She worked three and one half
years under the maestro Sbriglia, when she
made a concert tour in England, after
which she resumed her work with the pro-
lessor, in the meantime singing in few
operate performances in Bordeaux, Rem
mes and other provincial towns in France.
She made her real debut in Nice in
November, 1894, in the role of Ortrud in
.'Lohengrin." She sang there until the
middle of April, 1895, meeting with rare
success in all the roles she undertook. Sir
Augustus Harris, the manager Of the
Covent Garden theatre, London, heard of
Mile Brazzi's success in Nice and went to
Paris to hear her sing after she returned
from the south of France. He Immediately
engaged her for his Italian opera season OF
the spring and summer of 1895. At the
close OF the season he re-engaged her for a
term OF three years, one of which had been
completed when his death occurred the
past summer. She sang during the winter
- - =
ing always with success. She has already
sung the leading contralto roles in Is
operas. namely, ''Lohengrin, Hamlet, u
.'Trovatore," ..Samson ct Dalila, ]" Herod-
iade," ''Sigurd, "Bal Masque," eugene
Onaguine," "La Favorita,' "Rigoletto, y
civilian Tell," "Cavalleria Rusticana, y
''Die Walkuere," and the page roles in
''Faust" and lies Huguenots." Mile
Brazil has been re-engaged for the follow
ing season in Nice and will sail October 8
for Paris, where she will remain two weeks
to study the role of Orpheus which she is
to create in Nice.

Y, M, 6, A, Anniversary,

The first anniversary exercises of the Y.
M. c. A. were held in Union hall Sunday
evening, the hall being well filled with an
interested audience. On the platform were
seated President J. c. Day, several Of the
local clergymen, the speakers of the even
ing, and chorus of several voices. The
scripture was read by Rev d. L. Sanford
and prayer offered by Rev. DIR. Daniels.
Music was provided by chorus and a
quartet composed of Messrs. Viau, Ames,
Bacon and Wood.
President Day made the opening address
and in an interesting manner gave resume
of the work done by the association in the
past year. He said that the association
had proved and would continue to prove
a great benefit to the community; it is a
training school for good citizenship. He
said that pamphlet containing the reports
of the various committees was in the hands
of the printer and would soon be distrib.
uted throughout the village so that al
might know what the association had done
in the past year. He paid handsome
tribute to the Ladies' auxiliary, and said
the success of the year was due in no small
measure to its cooperation.
Prof. d. NJ. Graham OF the Springfield,
Mass, training school was introduced and
gave an excellent address on the education
al work of the association, illustrating his
remarks by the use of a chart.
Rev. o. S. Davis, the newly installed
fpastor of the Congregational church at
Springfield spoke for about 20 minutes on
the general work of the association. Mr..
Davis is an entertaining speaker of unusual
promise, and succeeded in pleasing his lis
teners Sunday wonderfully well.
