The Sacramento High School team
was the primary cause of the trouble.
The boys from the mountains came
down yesterday filled with ozone and
high hopes, but when they returned
their tires had been punctured and the
ozone was left scattered about the Oak
Park diamond and their hope was a
heap of utter ruin.
They went down like ninepins before
the twisters sent in by Halsey Smith,
who was in the box for the High
Schools, and their anticipated bundle of
circuits dwindled down to four miser-
able scratch runs. while their opponents
trampled the home-plate thirteen times,
an thirteen times the bell in the scor-
ers stand tangled, and the 'rooters"
howied with delight.
Probably 800 persons, many of whom
were ladies, occupied seats in the grand
stand, and the efforts made by the
Monarchs to retrieve the game after it
was hopelessly lost to them elected
rounds of applause.

Some Ninety-Elght Calendars.

Pages calendar for 1898 is larger than
ever being 291a inches long by 20 inches
wide. BY an exceedingly ingenious pat
ented device, which will be found of real
practical value, each of the twelve sheets
of the calendar show the day Of the week
OF every day in the year. The popularity
OF Pages calendar is shown by the fact
that in 1894 the issue was two thousand,
in 1895 three thousand, in 1896 five
thousand in 1897 nine thousand, while
in 1898 it will be ten thousand. The
growth in number is only equalled by
the growth in its size. The calendar for
9S is twenty-lour per cent larger than
the issue for 81. Until the supply is ex-
hausted it will be sent prepaid to any
address upon receipt of ten centsin silver.
Do not send stamps. Most Vermont
postmasters will receive and forward
the money without charge to sender.
The Columbia calendar issued by the
Pope Manufacturing Co. has made it's
18th appearance. The 1898 Columbia
pad calendar contains convenient ar
rangement OF dates that will prove useful
to busy men, and as plenty Of space is re-
served for memoranda, the pad may be
used as diary and as reminder for
business appointments and Obligations.

have this information. The calendar is

election day in Vermont 100 years ago,
while under the pads is an article from
the Vermont Journal of Oct. 18, 1871,
describing the scene. The months are
arranged in two pads instead OF one as
is usually the case. This keeps two
months in view and is most convenient

A Word About the Present Sickness

EDITOR CALEDoNIAN:-Will you permit
me to say that while sickness here now or
at any other time enlists my profound
sympathy, especially so among the chil-
dren, I wish to say that everything is
being done that can be thought of to
curb and to overcome it. And I write
this note to ask all good citizens to be
careful and not get unduly alarmed; for
when people get excited they are apt to
say and do unreasonable things.
Iwoulc advise all persons to keep their
balance, and not be scared to death just
now. What it is about us here in St.
Johnsbury, that every now and then
makes us talk as though we were the
worst and most unhealthy community
in the world, is more than l pretend to
understand. am sure of one thing, /
think, and that is, that this everlasting
talk upon the street and elsewhere, that
we are about to be eexterminated as com.
munity, adds not little to the trouble.
Be cool, my fellow citizens. Act with
good sense you have any. St. Johns
bury is no worse today, nor has it been
in the past, than the majority of large
towns, as far as sickness is concerned
Send your children to school, unless you
know they are already sick. They are
no worse off in school than they are run
ming all over the streets, as many dc
who have been taken out OF school,
Rest assured that whatever can be
done by the authorities to protect the
children. will certainly be done. But
beg of you all to keep yourequilibrum ii
the meantime. This wild scare is more
to our harm than anything else car
think of. F. V. POWERS.
