The persons who were selected for par
ticipation in the prize debate were chosen
on Tuesday. Any student who so wished
could participate in the preliminary de-
bates and the judges selected six who pre-
sented the best debate. The persons chos-
en- were: Ellen Cheney, Alice Babbitt,
Mary Clark, Robert Clark, Robert Dunk
lee and Hermon Eddy. Marion Thomas
was selected as an alternate if anyone
wished to withdraw.
When the pupils assembled on Monday
morning they received very pleasant sur
prise. One of the trustees had furnished
the two large study rooms on the ground
floor with new desks and chairs. The
desks have cherry tops and iron standards,
equipped with capacious apartments for
the books, together with handsome glass
ink wells. When vacant the chairs may
be folded up. The present equipment
makes these rooms a model of a combina-
ton of utility, convenience and comfort.

THE LIQUOR DEALERS ESCAPED
A Sentence TO the House OF Correction,
but They Were Mulcted 60 the Tune
Of 500 20 Each.

A Sentence TO the House OF Correction,
hut They Were MuIcted GO the Tune
of 500 20 Each.
The liauor cases which were continued
from last Friday were heard Tuesday
morning before Justice Frank Whitman
of Bellows Falls in the county clerks Of
fee. The first case was against q. q.
Turner of the Hotel Brattleboro, charged
with one offence for keeping liquor with
intent to sell and five offences for selling.
Mr.. Turner pleaded guilty TO the charges.
States Attorney Robb appeared for the
prosecution and G. b. Hit for the defend
ant. Mr.. Robb stated that although the
hotel was in the name of G. Z. Turner, IL
had been transferred TO him to evade the
law, and that therefore he should be sem
fenced to 80 days in the house Of correction
on the grounds that this was second Of
fence.
Mr.. Hit said that IL Mr.. Robb had
wished to pursue that course he should
have warned the hotel keepers before taxi
ing any action in the matter. Justice
Whitman decided in favor of the defend
ant on the ground that Mr.. Turner had
not been given fair warning. Turner was
fined $50 and costs for one offence of keep
costs on each of the five offences for SELL
ing, making total of $l0G. 20.
In the case against Warren Doolittle OF
the American House, Mr.. Robb pursued
the same course, trying to get him SEN
fenced to the house of correction for the
reason that he had taken the lease of the
American House Immediately after Mr..
wilkins, the former proprietor, had been
fined. Mr. Robb considered this case sim
liar to the previous one and thought there
was sufficient reason to sentence Mr.. Doc
little.
MI. Hit in his defence, stated that
there was no transfer TO avoid the law in
this case and that Mr.. Doolittle had taken
the hotel for the sole reason to get back the
money which he had loaned Mr. wilkins.
Justice Whitman decided this case in
the same manner as the previous one, and
Mr.. Doolittle was fined the same amount
as Mr.. Turner.
States Attorney Robb stated at the
/ close OF the hearings that he wished to
warn the hotel keepers then so that there
would be no misunderstanding about the
matter in the future. Justice Whitman
said that if there was another case brought
before him regarding the transfer to avoid
the law, it would result differently.

THE WINDOWS OF LIFE. F."
The Second Popular Lecture Course
= Opened Last Evening by Rev q. Glenn
Atkins OF Greenfield

the second popular Lecture Course
Opened Last Evening by Rev d. Glenn
Atkins of Greenfield.
The second Popular lecture course ar
ranged by the young people of the Baptist
church opened promisingy last evening, a
very high standard being set in the SPLEEN
did address of Rev. G.. Glenn Atkins of
Greenfield. Mr.. Atkinss subject was
"The Windows of Life" and though he
modestly disclaimed for his address any
thing but the presentation of common
places, they were commonplace clothed in
such strength and beauty of word and
phrase as to seem like the revelation of
new truths, As the chief purpose of win
dows are to admit the air and sunshine, so
the opening of the windows of life was in
the thought of the speaker the admitting
to ones life of those influences which
quicken and stimulate and purify. The
four windows specially touched upon were
books, nature, sympathetic interest in and
love for humanity, and the window open
ing upward into things spiritual.
1t was urged that these windows be
opened loVingiy keeps them
shut; hopefully-hope has tremendous
advantage over dependency; opened TO
things fair and clean-avoid the sewer gas
and foul air; and keep them open. If
there are things in life which fade and lose
their attractiveness upon the admission of
the lie ht and air of the greater world out
side, don't shut out the light and air-the
fault is not in them; don't exclude the
things which stimulate and purify, but get
rid of those things which cannot bear the
light of truth.
Mr.. Atkins can be assured of a cordial
welcome if he should speak in Brattleboro
again

Mountain Lake Park.

on Sunday Mountain Lake Park is
given up to rest and religious services.
The Sabbath is very generally observ-
ed. and no trains on the railroad
stop here on Sunday. Excursion
trains were run to Oakland from both
East and West, which brought great
crowds of people there. Many of the
eXcursionists drove over to the Park,
and 50 the crowd here was unusually
large.
The Mountain Chautauqua is draw
ing immense crowds from all sections
of the country, and it goes without
saying that the Park has gone far
ahead of the other resorts in this sec
ton. A conductor on one of the
through Baltimore and Ohio trains
asked your correspondent a few days
ago How is it that Mountain Lake
Park is getting all the people? We
put off" he added, twenty there to
one for any other place" 1t is be
cause there are a great many attrac-
tions here and visitors get what they
want. A gentleman of culture from
distant State declared that he heard
a lecture on Friday night which was
well worth the price of the whole
Chautauqua course. The lectures
thus far have been of a very high
order. That of the Rev. Thomas
Dixon, jr. on the 'Almighty Dollar, -
delivered on Saturday afternoon was
very interesting. 1t reminded one of
the late William T. Florence, but was
not like the play except in name
The musical attractions are very
| fine. Stevens Band of seventeen
pieces, from Bellair, Ohio, gives two
concerts daily. The Zeld Orchestra,
of Elizebeth, Pa, is one of the super
ior musical organizations here. Dr..
| w. H. Pontius has charge OF the
! chorus work. Other musical Organi-
cations here are the Ottumwa Male
| Quartette, Indiana State University
Glee Club, the Rock Band, the Arion
Lady Quartette, the Misses Brevort,
who sing plantation melodies, with
banjo accompaniment Miss Grace
Ensmingie a popular violinist from
Chicago, Madame Cecilia Epping-
hansen Bailey, called 1.-The Southern
Nightingale" and three soloists, Miss
Acton, Miss Lola Johnson and Miss
Chandler. With this aggregation OF
musical talent there is scarcely al
hour in the day when visitors may
not have choice music if they desire it
Rev. Thomas Dixon, in his lecture
Saturday, in speaking of mean men,
said: ''SOme people contend that
there is no hell; well if there is not
some people will have nowhere to go
If there is not a hell, it is time to &C
and build one."

To the Editor of The Republican.
As an unusual thing | am for once
at leisure and being so | do not know
of any better way Of using that time
than by penning a few lines for the
columns OF your valued paper. | am
not by any means a newspaper cor
respondent, nevertheless | want to
contribute something for your paper.
We still seem to exist here among
the tall trees, rocks and small brush,
and | may say fair crop of almost
everything from onions to wheat, but
this is not exactly what | wish to
write about.
You know the time is not far dis
tant when there will be call made
for Il county convention for the pur-
pose of nominating, among other of
ticers, q competent person for the
Office Of Sheriff and should like very
much indeed to call the attention of
the Republican party to the name of
our very estimable friend and neigh
Dor, Mr. Perry Lee. He is a candi-
date for the nomination and | can not
think that the Republicans of this
county could select a more competent
person for the place than Mr.. Lee.
He is without question perfect gen
tleman, a friend of those in need and
well schooled to the duties of the Of
flee TO which he aspires.
l trust that the readers of your
paper will look to their interest and
all say, For Sheriff, Perry Lee" He
is a man, honest, true and upright in
all his dealings, and | will further say
for him that he will be no respector
of persons, and will not be intimidated
by one or by many.

TO the Editor of The Republican.

TO the Editor ofThe Republican,.
| am glad to see that Mr.. p T. Fin
Eel is before the voters of Garrett
county for the office of House of Del
egates. | believe him to be compe-
tent and a deserving aspirant. He
comes from one of the oldest families
of the county and one whose mem
bers have always been loyal Republi-
cans; who have never had an office of
any kind since the formation of the
county.
While he is young man he has q
host OF friends both in the Republican
fold and out of it who would be glad
to hear of him receiving the nomina-
ton and who would Loyalty support
him at the polls.
Then if we look at the political side
of the question again | think that his
claims should receive some considers
ton. 1t has been a quarter of cen
fury since our county was separated
from Allegany and in that time but
one member of the House of Delegates
has come from Mr. Finzel's district,
that being Mr.. George w. Blocher,
who served during the year of 1874 or
'76, and if party principles are to be
rewarded then Mr.. Finzels claim
should not be neglected.

Mark how the sleeping Landscape
Lies in the twilight gray,
By the shades of night half hidden,
Dreaming the time away.
Watch as a rosy finger
Heralds the coming dawn,
Pointing the varied beauties
OF tree and wood and lawn!
Sec the world spring to brightness,
Glisten with laughing dew,
Changed in a single moment
The heavens, the earth are new!
SO on the youth or maiden,
Fresh from the realms above,
Their twilight life Transforming
There breaks the Dawn of Love.

Mile after mile will you travel in the
stormiest weather if only you may
see her for few moments. Without

apt to let the ordinary girl shift for
herself where escorts are needed.
But your dear one finds in you one SO
persistent that he sees her home the
longest way round, even though his
own comfort and rest are seriously
affected. You count all loss of ease,
gain; if you can but travel a few fur
ther footsteps. If in Scripture par
lance, she ask you to go one mile, you
gladly 60 twain. Whether fit or unit
you spring to perform almost any
task she may lay on you. If you are

that, compared with it, you are feeble
and apart from it-you have none.
