How to Help the Town.

Landlord Doyle of the Avenue House
has just issued 5000 folders giving brief
description OF the attractions Of St.
Johnsbury as summer resort and call
ing especial attention to the advantages
of the Avenue House as the place to stop
when making a visit to this town.
Incidentally their wide distribution will
do much towards attracting attention
to our town, and Mr.. Doyle has already
entertained one family from Massachu-
setts who came here because they had
seen his little folder. If all the business
firms would take equal pains in adver-
tising the town, either on the back Of
their envelopes or by some other method,
st. Johnsbury would be well filled with
summer visitors every season. The
experiment is we'll worth trying.

Fish Stories.

I'lou olOIACSs
They are beginning to come in-some
of them of fairly considerable proper
tions.
C.N. Corriveau was one of party of
four at Caspian lake the other day who
pulled out, in couple of hours. four
trout aggregating 39A lbs.
Still another party of four, who had
been fishing for say four days, aggre-
gated 112 lbs of the beauties.
Some Of the local anglers, who angle in
brooks instead OF ponds or lak,s have
had reasonable luck and brought home
good strings-all the trout, OF course, of
legal length.
Harry Piper, who has been in Wolf
boro, N. H., for few weeks has returned
to his old place in Harry H. Carr's store.
During his absence Mr.. Piper went fish
ing about half a dozen times in Lake
Winnp!seogee, catching 23 lake trout.
The last time he went out he brought
back eight that weighed from three to six
pounds each.

High Prices for Flour.

May wheat sold at $1.S5 bushel yes
terday in Chicago, the highest price for
10 years. The phenomenal rise in the
price Of wheat has kept the price of -four
jumping and the best grades of -four are
now sold at SO barrel, which means an
advance of nearly So barrel. Flour has
advanced $1.50 to $3.50 barrel, ac
cording to quality, since the wheat boom
commenced. A number of causes besides
the war has contributed to the rapid rise
in the price of cereals and it may be that
speculation is after all the chief factor
No one knows how long the price will be
maintained, but big winter wheat crop
will be harvested in July and it does not
seem possible that the price can long be
maintained after a new cropis harvested

A Fine Lecture.

Those who heard Prof. Comstock's S
illustrated lecture in Academy Hall last
Friday evening have to thank him for
giving them such an entertaining and
instructive treat. He took as his sub
ject the early Christian church at Rome,
closing with description of st. Peters
and the Vatican. The views were the
finest he has ever shown and the story
was told in such charmingly informal
way that the two hours passed away
very quickly. Many views were shown
of the catacombs, their quaint inscrip-
tions, the ancient cemeteries OF Italy and
the ruined tombs on the Appian way.
The last half of the lecture was devoted
to description OF St. Peters church
and the Vatican palace adjoining.

ESCAPE OF KING GEORGE.
Greece Giving Him an Ovation for
His bravery.

Athens. Feb. 27.-There is a great patri-
otto outburst throughout the country over
the escape of King George from assassi-
nation yesterday, with Thanksgiving serv-
ices everywhere and demonstrations of ev-
cry kind Praise for the Kings GOODNESS
and bravery is on every lip.
The members of the royal family, the
ministers and the entire diplomatic corps
attended the TIE Deum at the Cathedral
to-day, after which an immense crowd
went to the palace and gave King George
an ovation.
His majesty has received kilograms of
congratulation from all the sovereisus Ct
Europe. The press, even the papers OPP
posed to the royal family, is unanimous
in its expressions of Indignation
There Is no trace of the mlscreants
though several arrest have been made
with the object of obtaining information
The iucapacity of the police is making a
bad impression.
King George himself describes the at
tempt upon his life exactly as 1t was first
reported. He says: when the older
man, who was the cooler aud more deter
mined was about to fire, 1 felt certain
should not escape. l counted one. two,
three before he fired The Princess re-
never spoke, and after the first shot was
fired, she raised her glasses in order to
see our assailants. She retained her
composure as we drove to the palace"
His Majesty declines to believe the crime
was of Greek origin. No Greek he says,
would lift a hand against him, and if
conspiracy existed it had its origin abroad.
He disclaimed credit for personal courage
and said any father would have done the
60, 10 1T. 4 No, 19,-
he feel any alarm for the future. He will
continue to drive without an escort; for as
he says political assassination is thing
unknown in Greece"
1t is said the name of one assailant is
known. King George has received tele-
grams from the Queen of England and
Princess of Wales expressing horror at
. the attack upon him and gratitude for
his escape.
Last evening thousands of Athenians in
scribed their names as visitors III the
book at the Kings palace.
