On the Corner.

Only small number of the club were
in attendance at last nights meeting,
owing TO a large number of them being
somewhat under the weather after hav-
ing witnessed that new dramatic pro-
duction known as ''Uncle Toms Cabin"
The members present, after seating
themselves in the middle of Granite
Street bridge, proceeded to transact the
business of the evening, while the In-
spector listened to the dialogues and
orations Of the evening. The first topic
of the evening was the placing of anoth-
or water tub in the north section of the
city. 1t is claimed that the city is in
need of such an article and that the city
council should not delay a moment in
providing a water trough for horses at
North Barre. The Inspector would not
object to any such action on the part of
the city council, but these very street
kickers would be among the very first
ones to yell about the high taxes, and
that the city was going tax mad.
"Those who play must expect to pay
for the fun, and Those who dance
must expect to pay the fiddler; but the
Barre kickers have never yet learned
the truth of that old adage.
1t was after short recess that the all
important subject of the evening was
taken under consideration by the club
This was the building of a loop line of
railroad by the electric company from
Washington to Aver street. 1t was de-
cided to oppose ths giving to the rail-
road company the right to construct this
line, unless the company would agree
to build line around the circuit from
here to East Barre, thence to Granite
vile and from there to this city. Now
while the Inspector has no fears that
this gang of loafers and kickers will
have any influence with the council. vet
the Inspector believes that other mon
than these kickcrs will have sometbino
to say about the extcntion of the tracks
OF the company. These kickers are
found among the men who are found
ON our street cars and who never bnv
ticket but are always begging a five
cent fare from "twenty-ride" ticket
holders. The matter Of the extension
OF the railroad line in this city should
rest largely on the demands of the peo.
pie. Wherever a line would paw a mar.
NIT should be granted. This the r.,
spector believes will be the rule follow
ed by the city council.
After taking short hunt for the slot
machine stealers and blowing the bugle
for Company L subscription, the cluh
hurried up to the Salvation Army meet
ing followed by Ellis Nibbsn
The INSPECTOR.

A Contingent Name,

The Syracuse Post says that a girl
baby was recently brought to clergy
man of the city to be baptized. The lat.
ter asked the name of the baby.
"Dinah M.," the father responded.
"But what does the M stand for?"
Intercepted the minister.
"Well, l do not know yet. 1t all de-
ponds upon how she turns out
How she turns out? Why, I do not
understand you," said the dominic.
"Oh if she turns out nice and sweet
and handy about the house, like her
mother, shall call her Dinah May, but
If she has fiery temper and displays a
bombshell disposition, like mine, shall
call her Dinah Might

A LAWN PARTY,

The Ladies Union of the Universalist
church held Il lawn party last evening
at the home of Mrs. A. S. Robinson, on
south Main street, and a very enjoyable
time was had by all who attended. Ice
cream and cake was served in the house,
and out of doors on the lawn the young
people amused themselves by playing
games. The lawn was prettily decor
atcd with Japanese lanterns, hung from
the trees, which gave the grounds a
spectular appearance. A good size
crowd was present.

How Punch and Judy Came to England


The heyday Of the puppet show in
England was during tho last century.
Long before then strolling showmen
had exhibited "drolls" or motions
as the EnglisTHuppets were known in
the early days-to crowds of gaping
rustics, but it was not until the time of
Steele and Addison that the puppet show
became a fashionable amusement, pat
ronized by upper tendon.
Pulcinella came to London in 1865,
when an Italian puppet player set up
his booth at Charing Cross and paid O
small rental to the overseers Of St. Mar
tins parish His name was at once
Englished into Punchincllo. which was
soon to be completely Anglicized as
Punch. ---Harper's Magazine

In the many good things said by the
press of Gen. Grout, there is one feature
\pf a good record that has been omitted
and the Gazette wants credit for draw
inc the attention of the republican voters
of the district to the fact at this time,
and that's his service to the Vermont
Vets. Many an old veteran is today
enjoying small pension which but for
the active services of Gen. Grout would
be pigeon-holed along with thousands
of others. 1t has been well known for
years that when a worthy Vet has a
grievance and submitted it TO Gen .Grout
the pension department is in hot water
till wrongs are righted. 1t is of mate
rial advantage to Vermont that the old
soldiers have an ambassador there ready
and willing to look after their inter-
ests at all times. The best is none too
good for the old boys.-Hardwick Ga

too. The chalet of Frenchman does
not belong with an Irish or Swedish or
Yankee household, nor do the windows
and walls of medieval castles corre-
spond with modern ideas as to light
and ventilation. Ifsever We are to have
a distinctively American architecture,
it must be developed from what we
need. and what we have; not brought
over seas and put on outside. The ar
chitect. as one of the brilliant charac-
ters in recent novel said, is the only
really creative artist, aside from the
musician. These two. somehow, evolve
the camel from their inner conscious
ness but in the case of the American
architect and musician the camel has
not been there to evolve. We have
national literature. which concerns it
self with the shifting types and phases
of our mixed national life; we have
some national art depicting our mag

people, but we have no national archi-
lecture. and we have no national mu-
sic, and for very much the same
reason in both cases.
If the young architect will refrain
from building. houses ON French and
English and other models, and VIII
consider instead the question OF
heaIthfulness, durability, and artistic
conformity to the surrounding land
scape and to the people who are likely
to live i'm his house, he will stand some
chance of creating an American ar
chitectural idea. The old settlers dld
this 10 some extent in their log and
stone dwellings. They were not think
ing about artistic effect, but they were
thinking about making the house as
strong and as spacious and comforta-
BILE as il could be made and in some
cases they succeeded in being very pic
turesaue without knowing 1t. Ihe
large Virginia mansion, with it's two
chimneys, its wide hall running
straight through the house, and its
surrounding buildings. and some oil
the aboriginal farlnhouses of the North
are not bad examples of this sort or
thing. Nothing is really beautiful in
n house or in gown unless IT is OF
some use and beams which support
nothing. windows which light nothing,
and freplaces in which no fire can be
made are as inartistic and ineXcusabie
as a shower of buttons without any
buttonholes, all over woman's dress,
in places where no button ever could,
even in former ages. have been of any
use. In art as in living, the beautiful
grows up from within. and is not plas-
tered on from the outside.

"A Stranger in New York." at the
LAFAYETTE.

The latest Hoyt play 70 reach this
city, "A Stranger in New York, which
began a week at the Lafayette last
night, will not be a stranger in Wash
ington, judging by the fun created By
the pretty girls and funny fellows. 1t
is far above the level, in point of sa-
tire. Characterization and scenic envi-
ronment of the early HOytian produc-
tions, and ii is as pretty a thing in
those respects as ever came out of a
farceur's fertile BRAIN Best of all, it
brings back all the old favorites. but
every one is in new guise and Phoe-
nix-like, rises, enchanting anew, out
of the ashes Of recollection. We see
Harry Conor, fat, sleek and satiricaI
but in propria persona, dress-suited
and acting with a Tabascoish flavor
that is most stimulating. As THE
Stranger he causes cachinatiOns ga
lore. and is altogether above the COnOr
standard of old. Next comes Harry
GilfoiI-he of the meIodioUS whistle
and multitudinous limitations: but. 10.
he is changed. His brow is Wrinkled.
his form bent; ne has become Mans
fieldian. another Baron Cheyrial. and,
more power to him, he plays the old
beau to the life. Goodbye to the old
GiIfoil. Hail to the new, the brighter.
the better Gilfoil, Out Of the host Of
pretty girls shines the face of Sadie
Martinot Shade of the past. and yet
there is seen bright promise of the fu-
ture in the still fascinating face and
fetching ways. As Hattie, called .the
best fellow of them all, she is indeed
and in fact the best. Other young
faces and forms in gay attire, with
jeweled fingers, are those of the Ange-
les Sisters, who enliven every scene.
The Stranger" is a mysterious indi
yiduaI who visits New York, registers
at a prominent hotel, drinks fnnumer-
able cocktails and seeks for such
pleasantries as are to be found in the
metropolis He chances to find let
ter of introduction intended for an
other and unwittingly presents il to
the person addressed. He is welcomed
by party of gay spirits and carried
off to the French ball, where, because
of his mistaken identity, many ridic-
ulous complications result.
Others in the cast are George Beane.
Lloyd Wilson, Charles Warren, Nellie
Butler John Hyams. Jordan and Will
hanson, and Marie Fitzpatrick. The
costuming is beautiful. The stage set
tings are on the same liberal scale
which has characterized all of Mr.
Hoyt's productions.
