theme of peace. "There's nothing in
the war scare, he said. sand in this
connection let me read you what Chi
cago thinks of the matter. Mr.. Dupee
of that city has just made the following
statement over the wires:
"What is there to go to war about?
These Cubans are nothing but mon

Instantly the bulls leaped from their
easy chairs. "Bravo!" they shouted,

The Masonic Unions Gathering.

The great storm reduced the attend
ance at the 23d annual meeting of the
Western Vermont Masonic union in this
village on Wednesday, but those who
were in attendance greatly enjoyed the
various entertainments prepared for
them by the local committee. The
lodges of surrounding towns for the
most part had representatives in attend
ance wherever it was possible to break
through the blockade. The dance at
the opera house and the banquet at the
Addison were the features of the en-
tertainment The grand march of the
knights Templar lodge in full uniform
was especially fine at the dance. The
banquet took place at midnight, and the
Addison House did itself great credit in
the menu prepared. The business meet
ing of the union was held after the ban
quet. 1t was decided at this meeting to
hold the next annual gathering at
Brandon.
