The Sugar SeasOn.-A recent issue OF
the Rutland Herald sizes up the pros
poets of the sugar season as follows:
"a small quantity of maple sugar and
maple syrup was brought into market
Monday from farmers living at West
Rutland, Clarendon and Chittenden. The
best maple sugar will retail at 20 cents a
pound, although a poorer quality may be
bought Tor 1914 cents. Syrup retails at
ST gallon for the best and rs cents a
gallon for cheaper grade. Monday was
poor sap day in these parts, but reports
from the east side give a much better
story, as there was good frost Sunday
night in that part of the state. The out
look now is for short sugar season,
and at best things will be lively about
the sugar bushes from now on. Senator
Proctor has sent an order to Rutland for
quantity of new maple sugar and syrup,
to be distributed amongiriends at Wash
ington. He also has ordered samples of
black Canadian sugar, which will figure
in the discussions on the tariff duty on
sugar in the pending Dingley bill.'

not being at home the stranger said he
would see him the next morning. In the
conversation the next morning Mr..
Sulloway noticed that the man acted
queer and the hequeerness rapidly ncieased
until it was thought best to lock him up.
On telephoning to Lancaster it was
found that the man had just been
released from the Concord asylum. He
was taken back to Lancaster Saturday,
where friends took him in charge.

The Bird Carnival.-The largest audi
ence ofthe season greeted the Kellogg Bird
Carnival and Concert company at Music
Hall last week Thursday evening, and it
is safe to say that all went away much
pleased with the novel and interesting
entertainment furnished by the members
of the company. Mr.. Kellogg's ability,
which he said was gilt, not an accom-
pshment," to correctly initiate so many
different bird notes is simply wonderful.
To hear the joyous warbling or chatter
ing in their various characteristic songs
as the colored pictures of the little song
sters were thrown on the screen made a
most realistic scene.
Miss Dllman's recitations, illuminated
delsarte and crystal calisthenics, delighted
the audience. 1t seemed literal repre-

1t was disappointment not to hear
Mrs. Kellogg as was announced, but her
appearance was due to the sad news
received from her home in Philadelphia
calling her to that city. Miss Lester
kindly consented to take her place or
such short notice that there was not
time for even a rehearsal with Mr.. Kel
logg, with whom she had not sung fol
three years. Under the circumstances

Brown.

The following notice taken from the
Maiden (Mass.) Evening News OF March
10, will be of interest to many friends in
this vicinity who knew and loved Mrs.
Brown when she was a resident of this
town in former years:
Frances Rhodes, wife OF Lewis P.
Brown, passed away very quietly at her
late home at noon on Sunday, after an
illness of four months.
She leaves a husband, FIVE children,
Carrie L. Bickford, Edward N. and Chas.
r. Brown Mrs. Chas. S. Norris, Samuel
L. Brown Ga stepson), and two grand
children. Three sisters also survive her,
Mrs. E. M. Mosely of Richmond, Va,
Mrs. John NJ. Jones of Hatley, Canada,
and Mrs. H. T. Keyes of Pierre, South
Dakota.
Mrs. Brown has been we'll known and
highly esteemed throughout the city.
Uniting with the First Congregational
church when quite young, she very soon
became an active member in it. For
many years a teacher i'll the Sunday
School early identifying herself with the
Ladies Benevolent society; for two or
more terms its president; recently re-
! elected as one OF the deacouesses, for
third term of six years in all these and
in other ways she had rendered valuable
and loyal service to the church she loved.
Besides all this she has been active in the
auxiliary to the Maiden Young Mems
Christian association, in which she was
one OF its vice presidents, and she has
been member of the Hospital Ladies'
Aid association. In all these activities
no one has been more devoted, no one
more deeply interested. Her strength
failed many times to come up to the call
of her heart. Many causes and many
people, outside her bereaved home, will
sadly miss her willing sympathies.
But those who have been privileged
to know Mrs. Brown in her home have
seen there the choicest and most cher
ished characteristics of her devoted
Christian life A consistent follower of
her Saviour herself, she longed to see her
dear ones walking after the same pat
tern. She was always the same in the
home, patient, sincere, kind never criti-
csing Others; always finding some good
excuse, some good word, for every one;
full of Christian faith and always cheer
full she endured the last illness without
murmur.
The memory of all these things will
still bring forth fruits in those for whom
she so fervently prayed. To us she is not
dead she only "sleeps" that blessed
sleep, from which none ever wake to
weep" c.G.H.
The funeral was held March 10 at her
late residence. Rev. H. H. French and
Rev. Calvin M. Hill officiated The
Franklin quartette furnished music. The
bearers were L. p, Horace X Edward
Samuel and Charles Brown and Chas. S.
Norris. There were many floral tributes.
