MIDDLEBURY.

WEEKS DOINGs IN MIDDLEBURY.
 The embanking snow does not detain Middlebury people in their homes. The churches had good congregations On Sun- day. In one locality where the snow was banked deeply, an old sled was arranged with seats and blaDkets, and the people of the neighborhood were accommodated. It was picturesque indeed, in spacious comfort. That affairs. do not drag in Middlebury, weeks program may be in evidence: A rehearsal on Monday even- ing at the house of Mrs Basham; the Grange on Tuesday; an official meeting at the Methodist parsonage on Wednes- day afternoon; tea at the Congregational church on Wednesday afternoon; the il- lustrated lecture on Wednesday evening at the Town hall by D. c.

THE NEW LIBRARY OPENED.

On Friday, the 12th inst, in spite of the blinding snow that blockaded tue roads, the public library opened according to announcement, and 27 books were drawn. Mr Chamberlin, Miss Hine and Miss Hel- en Bronson had worked here by day and far into the night for fortnight, to get everything in readiness. The old library has been united with these books given by Mrs Whittemore and those from the state. Convenient cases have been pre- sented by Mrs Whittemore. The efic tent committee have arranged these books systematically, and yet have managed to make them show attraetively. With the reading room furnished so elegantly by Mrs Futile. the town of Middlebury feel they are highly favored. They are grate- ful indeed for these generous gifts which send our town along in the line of the progress of the day.
 Miss Parker, whose singing is much enjoyed, has been two Sundays past in
 the choir at the Methodist church. Clarence Munson is spending few weeks with his parents.
 Miss Segeer is visiting her brother. Eli Bronson and Mr Scott are to be commended for their public spirit in breaking the roads after our deep snow storms.

The Sabbath DaY.

Eds. Record Union: In yesterday s
paper your correspondent, b. L. Howe,
With singular appropriateness, begins
ms article in defense OF the Sabbath
Seventh aay) by quoting Col. H., 5: Be
ware lest any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit, after the
traditions of men, after the rudimentS
of the world and not after Christ" A
reading of the whole chapter Will show
that part of the vain deceit which
the Apostle was combating was the
effort of Sabbatarians to do just what
B. L. II. is doing, teaching Gentle con-
verts to observe ordinances that had
been blotted out and taken out of the
way. (See verse 14.)
Paufs conclusion is expressed N the
sixteenth and seventeenth verses: Let
no man therefore judge you in meat
or in drink. or in respect of a feast day
or a new moon or Sabbath day, which
are a shadow of the things to come;
but the body is Christ's. (Rev. Vers)
This is the last occurrence of the
word Sabbath in the Bible.
Christ kept the Sabbath, of course.
for He was made under the law" Gal.
iv., ~
But Paul says to Christians: "Ye are
not under the law" Rom vi. IA.
If Paul, who was ''all things TO all
men," ''honored the Sabbath day" as
your correspondent claims, it is not
thereby shown TO be perpetually bind
ing. If so, then circumcision and sac
rifice and various other Jewish ordi-
nances are also binding, for Paul prac-
ficpH Of hea hnn jc+i
(Acts xxi, 21-26 and Acts xvi, 81
B. L. H. says Christ taught His Dis
ciples to pray for forty years that they
might not be obliged to flee from Jeru-
salem on the Sabbath" The verse
Matt. xiv, 20 reads: But pray ye
that your flight be not in the winter,
neither on the Sabbath day" If that
proves the Sabbath is a sacred day it
also proves that winter is sacred time
and that it would be sin now to travel
in the winter. The reason why the Dis
ciples We're to pray that their flight
might not be in winter nor on the Sab
bath day is stated plainly in the next
verse: For then shall be great tribu-
lation, such as was not since the be-
ginning of the world" etc.
1t was because of the added difficult
ties Of travelling among Jewish peo-
pie and not on account of the sacred
ness of winter and Sabbath that
Christ's request was made.
All the arguments that B. L. H. has
advanced are as weak as those we have
so briefly noticed. But these few sam
pies may be sufficient to put thinking
people on their guard.

AN IMAGINATIVE REPORTER.
How He Hade Sensational Article of
Very Small Matter.

There was story published in the ev-
ening paper a week ago yesterday and
telegraphed down to q San Francisco
paper to the effect that six Japanese and
their employer had all been hung up to
trees at Orangevale by the neck till
they were almost dead, dead, dead"
On Tuesday the evening paper re-
tracted the story as far as the employer
was concerned but stuck to the other
part with persistency. The San Francis
co paper followed suit next morning and
the consequence was that there was
great excitement in the japanese colony
and the Japanese Minister at Washing
ton instructed the Consulate at San
Francisco to make strict investigation
into the matter.
The Secretary Of His Imperial Japan
ese Majesty's Consulate in San Francis
co. A. Segawa, was accordingly sent to
Sacramento, where he at once entered
into communication with Sheriff John
son and afterwards went himself to
Orangevale and Fair Oaks and made an
independent investigation.
The result of that investigation he
gave to a Record Union" reporter last
night and it is strongly suggestive of the
the well-known story of the Three
Black Crows"
In the first place there We're only two
japanese employed on the ranch in
question. that Of II. G. Raaf at the time
of the alleged hanging, and not six. In
the second place there were six men in
the gang of White Caps or "bulldozers"
or buffers" or whatever they might be
called.
Then there was no one hung nor was
anyone even touched with a rope, much
more strangled with it, and the proprie-
ter, who was said to have been threaten
ed, was not in Orangevale or near it
that night.
The whole matter" said Mr.. Segawa
last night. was that while the two
Japanese employed by Mr.. Raaf were in
the bunk house six men with masks on
came there and told them they must
clear out and not attempt to work for
Raaf any more.
They had with them pistol club
and rope but no violence was offered
The japanese consented to be led out
into the orchard and go with the men TO
Fair Oab., and they have not since re-
turned to work for Raaf The latter,
however. has eight other japanese
working for him instead of the two, and
these are not molested.
"The two men are now working for
other people, one in Sacramento and the
other at Fair Oaks.
Il want TO say that the Sheriff has
been very good to me and has done all
he could to assist me in my investigation
and is now working hard to bring the
men to justice for their nights work.
But after all 1t was so little and made
SO much of that If I had not looked
carefully into the matter myself l might
be inclined TO think there was more in it.
1t is a pity that such reports should be
published, as they injure the American
people and cause no end of trouble for
the Government at Washington. as we'll
as the representatives of Japan.
We have on the Pacific Coast under
the supervision of the San Francisco
Consulate about 6,000 japanese. and so
pcr cent OF these are constantly en-
| pioyed.'

MRS. RAPHAEL DE LA MAR.
An American Girl Who is Now a
Reigning Beauty in Paris.

Interesting to Americans is the story
of Mrs. Raphael De La Mar, formerly
a poor, but charming New York girl,

in the French Capital. Six years ago
she was Nellie Sands, a poor girl, poor

New York Here she met Captain
Raphael De La Mar, whose chief rec
ommendation was his money, of which
he had many millions. He fell in love
with the beautiful Nellie and they were
married after short time. They fail
ed to gain any great social success in
New York, however, and this was partly
due to Mr.. De La Mars exceeding jeal-
