The Sunday concert question mas
broken loose over in Vermont. tc-
eral Henry, it seems, some time ago
authorized the giving of Sunday
evening concerts by the United states
military band at Fort Ethan Allen.
whereupon several people objected
on the ground that it kept people
from church and was contrary to the
laws of the state and had Il general
immoral tendency. Then Gen Henry
ordered the concerts discontinued.
whercupon there ensued a brisk dis
cussion of the whole question, pro
and con. Rev. Clarence Harris,
pastor Of the Congregational church
of Colchester, pleads for Sunday
music and says that it is the only day
on which many pcople-,clerks and

says "mu sic brings rest to falisucd
bodies, relaxation to tired out minds,

SO.O0O,OOO Feet OF Lumber.

With the passage of the tariff bill
by Congress Saturday the impo'ta-
ton of Canadian white pine by Bur
llngton lumber dealers will cease.
Under the Wilson bill pine has been
admitted free of duty while the
Dingley bill imposes duty of :,
per thousand feet. To avoid, ior Il
time at least, the disasters which
they have claimed would result to
them from this high duty, Burllng-
ton lumber dealers have for the past
few months been importing pine as
never before until now every foot OF
available space is covered with the
wood in some form. One OF the
leading dealers told Il Free Press
man that there were probably o.
600, 900 feet of lumber in the various
Yards. which will be supply enough
for two or three wears.
