Butter
Talk

The fact that the quality of Butter
marketed to-day largely depends upon the grade Of
salt used admits of no argument
Two qualifications in Dairy Salt are indispen-
sable.
lst. Absolute purity, which insurcs good
flavor and keeping qualities.
I'd Quickncss in dissolvng, insuring
perfect distribution with 4 minimum
amount of working.
The fact that all the prize butter made in
Maine New Hampshire Vermont, and Connecticut
last year sailed with Worcester Salt, and that
90 per cent of the creamery and dairy men in
New England use nothing but Worcester, proves
beyond doubt that Worcester is the Standard of
Dairy Salt, and cmbodes the above indispensable
qualifications. Also Best for Table and Kitchen.

HIGH SCHOOLS BEATEN
wlnches,ers took the Game aa to &.

WInchesters took the Game Dr. to d.
The Winchester y. H., High school
base ball team didn't Dewey thing but
Schley the local High school team in the
return game at Riverside park last Saturday.
Their reinforcement was complete, the score
at the close OF the game being % TO q.
The reason for such a one-sided score
was largely because the Brattleboro boys
were unable to fathom Thomson delivery,
and because the Winchester team was
greatly strengthened by new men at second
and third bases. Whitman began pitch
ing for the Brattleboros but he gave way
in the second inning to Brasor. Loose
playing by the Brattleboro boys lost the
game for them in this inning and gave
nine runs to the score of the New Hamp-
shire boys.
The Brattleboro boys rushed from the
field during the third inning to get a look
at their soldier friends on their way to
Chickamauga. The umpires called "time'
after the field had been deserted.
The Winchesters continued to do supe-
rior work, especially al the bat, through
out the remainder Of the game.
Following is the score:

A subscription paper is to be circulated
soon to raise funds for band concerts here
the coming summer. 1t has been custom
airy TO put OFF this matter until late in the
season, and as a consequence the last of
the concerts have been delayed until the
evenings were too cool for comfort. The
prospects of concerts at the East village
this season are not good, and it is hoped
that our people will respond generously.
Manager Jones of the street railroad COM
pany, realizing that the road will be bene-
fitted by the concerts, has promised to do
the right thing and hopes to have concerts
each week 1t is understood that a good
band can be secured at a low figure.
Mrs. Ernest Goodenough is in Randolph,
the guest of Mrs. Z. l.. Bass for a few

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
HE Is CITY ATTORNEY.
Brattleboro BOY Confirmed In an Inn
portant Position at Ann ArbOr, Mich.

Brattleboro BOY Confirmed In an Inn
pOrtant Position at Ann Arbor, Mich.
The Evening Times of Ann Arbor,
Mich, has an interesting story in its issue
OF May 18th in regard to plea made be-
fore the city council by Lawyer Ora K.
Butterfield in regard to his confirmation
as city attorney. Mayor Hiscock had APP
pointed him to this important position two
weeks previous and the appointment had
been doing the suspended animation act.
The opposition TO Mr.. Butterfeld was not
based on personal grounds or his want of
ability; but from the fact that he was at
torney for the Michigan Central railroad,
and some of the city council believed that
he would be placed in an embarrassing po-
sltion in litigation which seemed likely TO
come between the city and the railroad
company.
The Times says: "Then Mr.. Butterfield
appeared before the common council and
did the Robert Emmett act to perfection.
He made plea in his own behalf that was
very convincing and became a great eX-
ception to the old saying that lawyer who
pleads his own case has fool for lawyer
and fool for a client. He made such a
decided gain around the Democratic op-
position that after he had run his course
victory perched upon Mayor Hiscock's
party"
The threatened litigation was in regard
to bridge in the city and Mr.. Butterheld
presented letter from the company agree
ing to satisfy the city's demands. Mr..
Butteriield said the railroad company did
not employ him to give advice about cross
ings, but to try cases in the circuit court.
AT the close of Mr.. Butterfeld's state
ment there was some discussion among the
aldermen. resulting in all of the Republi
can and some of the Democratic members
voting for Mr. Butteriield's confirmation,
with the result that he is now the city at
torney of Ann Arbor.
Mr. Butterfield graduated from the Brat
tleboro High school in 81. He took
post graduate course of one year and then
entered Childs's business, college at Spring
field Mass, graduating in shorter time
than any student who had been there
After working for a loan company in Col
orado he entered the University Of Mich
gan law department, graduating before he
was p. He has made a marked success
as a lawyer at Ann Arbor.

LIGHTNING'S FLASH.
Narrow Escape for Mrs. =. =. Hunt and
Mrs. II. II. Crosby.

Narrow Escape for Mrs. =. =. Hunt and
Mrs. II. II. Crosby.
The thunder storm which passed over
Brattleboro Thursday evening came near
having disastrous results. Only one flash
of lightning was especially noticeable but
the bolt struck in two places and the Won
der is that serious injury was not done in
both instances
The flash occurred at about G:1j At
that time Mrs. S, S. Hunt, who was on
her way home from her store, stood under
the large elm tree between her house and
the house of Henry II. Crosby on Green
street. Mrs Crosby sat on the front
piazza of her house
Without warning they were blinded by
brilliant flash and Immediately pieces of
bark, branches, slate, clapboards, etc, fell
on every side. The flash was accompanied
by deafening peal of thunder which added
to the momentary CONSERVATION of Mrs.
Hunt and Mrs. Crosby.
1t was all over in an instant, and when
the two women realized that they were I'M
injured they began an investigation to see
how narrow had been their escape.
The bolt struck the tree under which
Mrs. Hunt was standing and tore off
quantity of bark and small limbs which
were scattered promiscuously about the
grounds, and many of which struck Mrs.
Crosby in the face.
Fortunately the bolt did not follow the
tree to the ground, otherwise Mrs. Hunt
would have been seriously injured The
bolt left the tree and struck the l. of Mr..
Crosby's house near the ridge-pole, tear
ing OFF few slate and clapboards and
splitting one rafter.
The total damage will not amount to
more than So or $40.

.eRemember the Maine,

Rev A. j. Hough, formerly of Brattle-
boro but now pastor of the Methodist
church at White River junction, and well
known throughout Vermont, closed a pa
triotic discourse recently with the follow
ing original poem;
The nation may press % the goal Of her glory.
Her flag lifted high without shadow or stain,
And names of renown still illumne her story
But sine will remember the men of the Name
Her cheer ringing clear for the brave who are
keeping
Ola Glory above the red standard of Spain
l ngratetul she is not to those who are sleeping
And she Will remember the men OF the Maine.
The nation bowed low with the sense of bereave
ment
Is glad that her dead have not persisted in vain
And high on the scroll Of her grandest achieve.
ment
Shall shine the white names Of the men of the
Maine.
This morning the tongue of the whole world is
Volcing
America 5 triumph of valor and brain
But, sadly, amidst the fiOodtide of rejoicing
We tendery greet theni-the men of the Maine.

The Costa Rica CounterreIters.

For months the Costa Rican counterfeiters
have been issuing bogus notes of the government
OF the island until the amount, il is said has
reached 81 100000 Inspectors of the secret ser
vice bureau were chiefly instrumental in bring
ing the malefactors TO Justice The efficiency of
the secret service is undoubted, but II is by no
means secret, hut a patent fact, that the ser
vice that HOstetters Stomach Bitters does the
weak, nervous and dyspeptc is OF genuine value
There have been from time 10 time counterfeits
of II, but the miniature note Of hand on the label
and the Vignette OF st. George aud the Dragon,
are not successfully imitable. This tonic abso-
iteluy prevents and remedies malaria, rheumatism,
liver complaint and dyspepsia.

New York Mail And Express.

Many and varied schemes have
been adopted by the big metro
politan daily papers to increase
Their popularity, but perhaps the
most commendable one for a
high.class newspaper, the prop
err function of which is the pub
fishing of accurate and reliable
information for the good Of the
general public is the issuing of
magazine supplements. Recent
improvements in the making OF
the so.called ''half-tone" cuts, or
photogravure reproductions Of
actual photographs, is rapidly
changing this condition, and the
"half-tones" are becoming more
popular as means of illustrat-
ing daily newspapers. They are
popular with the public because
they must of necessity be abso-
lutely accurate pictures of the
scenes represented, and also be.
cause they are as a rule the most
artistic and attractive illustra-
tions.
In this respect the New York
Mail and Express stands in the
first rank for the reason that its
Saturday supplement is a high
class magazine IN every respect.
Not only is it illustrated with the
highest grade Of half-tones, but
it is printed on heavy paper and
in the form of a magazine, sulta.
BILE for binding AMI preserving.
The articles in large measure
treat of current events and topics
of the times, interesting alike in
all parts of the country.
Another feature adopted by the
Hail and Express, which is quite
unique, is its Genealogical and
Historical Department, which af-
fords opportunity for many peo.
pie to trace their ancestry and
build up a Family Tree OF their
own. In this department the
history and genealogy of the
families and descendants of the
Mayfower Pilgrims have recent
ly been printed. The articles
