VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.
Interesting Ideas of Prominent Citi-
zenS-InternatiOnal Paper Com
pany and Canal Company Remind
ed of their Duty.

The first meeting under the auspices of
the recently organized Young Mems club
Of the Congregational church was held in
the auditorium Of the church Sunday even
ing. An unusually interesting program
had been arranged and was successfully
carried out. In addition to meri.orious
musical features, three of the most promi-
nent citizens of Bellows Falls gave short
addresses on the important subject of vii
lage improvement, land the interesting ideas
advance by the speakers were much en-
joyed by the large audience present The
addresses in full or in part follow:
JUDGE L. NJ. READ.
Judge L. M. Read was the last speaker.
He said in part Village Improvement
means the doing of those things which tend
to the betterment of the citizens mentally,
morally and physically. My business has
caused me to travel much, but when l re-
turn to the Connecticut valley feel like
thanking God that my lot was cast in pleas
ant places land as we travel this valley where
is there a place for which nature has done
more than for Bellows Falls? We have
beautiful scenery, churches, library,
splendid schools and thriving business.
Since l came here 26 years ago there have
been improvements all the time We have
advanced but have not attained the ideal,
Perfect drainage is essential to the health of
a community. We have two much mud in
Below, Falls; our streets should be mac
sdamized.
Each citizen should look into bis back
yard occasionally. Village Improvement
depends more upon the individuals who
comprise the community than upon the
community in its municipal capacity. To
visitors our depot with its adjacent streets
of mud with no crossings is not pleasing
thing to contemplate. Let a visitor ap-
proach our village through Rockingham
street; there IN conspicuous place is a
park, or what not, adorned with tumbled
down buildings, rubbish and decaying veg
etable matter. Let the visitor approach
from the New Hampshire side OF the river
as be crosses the toll bridge be finds on the
hill to his lett an unsighfly place covered
with refuse. Let him come from the
south he sees an unsightly field near the
Westminster bridge covered with decaying
lumber. These places do not advertise
village as beyond the need of improve
ment.

New England SO negleciful of its sidewalks
as is Bellows Falls during the winter. Ice.
snow and slush are found much too fire.
quently. There ought to be village ordi-
nance compelling the municipality to shovel
the snow from the walks, or compelling
property owners to do it.
Judge Read also referred to the fact
that public park as place for games and
amusements is badly needed.

Record of the Clubs

For the second time this season the
Washington team, by yesterdays victory

two pitchers, weighing lasting but two In

Base Ball Notes.

| Attendance about LOCO.
| weighing simply had an off day
l The first part of the game looked bad for
the Senators.
Slide Jake, slide. II you tear your uni
form the fans will get you another.
Dineen pitched a fairly good game and
! will do better. He failed to cover first on
the ball hit to Doyle and lost a run thereby.
| Stop knocking Wrigley. The club has
| no one that can play short as well as Zeke,
and hammering the sailor boy will not help
| the club.
Farrell was off on his throwing, but hit
| the ball viciously. The fly caught by Dowd
would have gone to the fence had Tommy
missed connections.
Clements batted in very hard luck. Twice
he hit the ball right on the nose, the first
one going straight at Doyle and the sec
ond one right into Gettman's hands.
Had Gettman slid into third base yester-
day he would have landed safe. By not
sliding he lost the club four runs. Slide,
| Jake, slide.
Anderson may be a slow man. but so far
he is getting everything all right that
goes into center field His hitting has been
timely and effective.
There is very little love lost between the
st. Louis players and Jack Doyle. Sarcas-
tic remarks were continually exchanged,
especially when Doyle came to the bat the
! first time AS Jack landed a safe one he
had the best of the argument
Right after Decker had been allowed to
drop out of the game, Crooks came hob
bling up to Manager Hurst and said Car
sey had better warm up to take his place
You're it." replied Hurst, Decker saw
| me first" and Jack took his place on the
| bench with look of disgust on his face
Crooks ankle is twice its usual size, and
he played good game Notwithstanding
| this handicap.
Cincinnati still refuses to display the yell
low flag. The yellow streak developed the
last two seasons by the club when away
for this season at least. A majority of
the base ball players, magnates and fans"
would like to see BUCK Ewing land his
club at the head of the procession when
the season closes. But 1t Is a long and hard
race yet.
1t was not expected that Reitz would do
much damage with his sticktw hen Wash
| irgton secured him, but he has surprised
his friends by batting hard and scientifical-
ly His safe bunt yesterday after three
| long hits by his predecessors was one of
| the most artistic features OF the game.
He and Jack Doyle play with their heads
as well as their hands They are a fine
| pair of ball players.
The Senators have taken a brace, and
| it is hoped by the rooters that they will
soon gain the round of the championship
ladder to which they are entitled.
Jake lGettman is the idol of both the
! bleachers and the grand stand, and he well
| deserves his popularity. There is only one
| thing he does not do we'll the best
| of the leading ball players of the league.
He is opposed to sliding on a close play.

day he would have been safe notwithstand-

Jake, and you will be the peer of any.

WI hat One Man Did.

A layman of great devotion and use
fulness said to us the other day that
when he was a young man, half a GEN.
tury ago, be determined that he would
keep befo,e his mind all the while no.
bic and stimulating ideals. So while
struggling with poverty and laying the
foundations of what became a most
successful business career, he formed
the purpose-frst, to memorize th 9 en-
tire New Testament. 1t took him
months to do it bat the task was at
last finished. He was So taxed and
driven that he had hardly any leisure
for anything outside the duties of his
calling, and in order to be systematic
be carried out the plan of committing
to memory few verses each day on his
way to and from his meals. He secured
a small edition of the New Testament
which could be hidden if need be in his
coat cuff; with this in hand he com.
mitted every day from four to ten ver-
ses, reviewing them again and again,
until he knew them with literal correct
ness. In due time the whole of Math-
ew was at command; tEen Mark be-
came his possession; and after a while
the whole New Testament was bis
precious property. Central Advocate.
