Kurn Hattln Homes.

A meeting of the trustees and executive
committee Of the Kurn Hattin Homes was
held at Westminster April IS and 10. The
report of the treasurer showed that the
homes were in better financial condition
than they have been for years. One OF the
chief topics for consideration was the ad-
visibility of opening another home for boys
at an early date. With this end in view
the trustees visited the Warner Memorial
home at Saxtons River to see what expense
would be necessary to put it in condition
to receive about dozen or fifteen boys.
1t will be remembered that upon the death
of Mrs. Susan w. Warner, she bequeathed
her fine estate at Saxtons River to the
trustees of the Kurn Hattin Homes to be
used by them as a home for orphan
children.
Owing to the hard times and the difficult
ty ofsecuring funds for carrying on the
work, it has been impossible for the trus-
tees to make use of the property up to the
present time. As before stated, however,
the Homes are now in more prosperous
condition, contributions from private indi-
viduals are coming in more generously, and
it is the hope and expectation of the trus-
tees to open the Warner Memorial Home
within few months at longest.

The Famous South Africans.

They are five boys, accompanied by j.
H. Balmer and Miss Elsie Clark. Mr..
Balmer and Miss Clark were here four
years ago this spring with some African
men and women and two little Zulu boys,
known as the "Kaffir Choir" They gave
a sacred concert at the Congregational
church Sunday evening and Monday even
ing showed some of the customs of their
country at the opera house. Those who
have heard them are very enthusiastic in
their praises of their entertainment. Rev.
DR.. Dickinson says, "The little fellows are
wonderfully captivating" also "Those who
attend once want to go again."
Although the Africans are not the same
as those who were here before, yet the in
terest awakened was enough to make one
want 'to 60 again" to hear these. They
are an object lesson in the work OF the
missionaries. ,, ~
An opportunity will be offered at the
Congregational church Wednesday even
ing to hear these Africans in story and
song.

THE &C. W. OsdOOD BIBLE CLASS
The 10th Anniversary Pleasantly Celebrated
Thursday Evenlng-l25 Members Present

The annual dinner Of the &C. w. Os-
good Bible Glass" is one of the pleasant
events in the social lite of Bellows Falls.
Each year it is anticipated with sincere
delight and its memory treasured among
the pleasantest recollections. Mr.. Osgood
Is devout and earnest student of the
Bible and his reputation as teacher and
the good name of his class is not bounded
by state lines.
The dinner Thursday evening in the
vestry Of the Congregational church eele-
brated the 26th anniversary of the forma-
ton of the class, and was in every way
a delightful social occasion. The tables
about which 125 active and honorary MEM
bers of the class were seated were formed
in hollow square, and the vestry was
beautifully decorated with ferns and flow
ers. After ample justice had been done
the tempting viands, Mr.. Osgood in the
capacity of POSTMASTER raped for order
and in his usual delicious manner called on
several Of the gentlemen present to assist
in the postprandial exercises. The toasts,
synopsis OF which will be given in next
Wednesdays issue Of the TIMES. were as
follows "Our School," N. G. Williams
"The Student" S. W. Wilder, Jr.
Our Glass, the Bright Side," P. L. Kim
ball; "Our Need" DR.. Edward Kirkland
The Serious Side," Rev. N. F. Garter Of
Concord, N. H.. 81 The Social Side," Rev.
G. F. Chaplin Of Saxtons River; sou
PASTOR" Col. E. G. Osgood; "The Fir
ishing Touches Rev. j H. Reid Sou.
LADIES'" Wallace White; " Absent Mem
bers," F. G. Hildreth; present Mem
bership," J. B. Morse; "The Glass
Color" George E. WEIGH.
This Bible class has in some respects
remarkable history. It first organized
as class Of seven boys, as follows: S. j.
Coolidge and F. G. Hildreth OF Bellows
Falls Rowe E. Kidder, now of Kansas
City; J. G. Villas of Livingston, Montana
Dana S. Villas of Chicago; Henry S.
Sabin Of bingham, Mass, and Alvin
Prouty of Worcester, Mass. The seven
original members now live in six different
states. The present membership of the
class Is $50 ard so far as can be ascertained
during the 26 years of organization the
class has lost only two Of its members by
death. Such longevity can be explained
only on the ground that the members Of
the class conscientiously live up to the prin-
ciples Of temperance and right living incul-
Gated by Mr.. Osgood during the past quar-
ter of century.

him to complete the work in which he
is now engaged before time to sail to

Mrs. Hobson sent the following te1e-

would be sent to Cuba without being
given a chance to visit her:

WE SHOULD DICTATE
And Not Negotiate Says Senator
Stewart.

Carson, New, July Ex-senator Will
liam M Stewart, in reference to the
terms of peace now being considered at
Washington, says:
THE terms of peace should be the
withdrawal of all Spanish troops from
Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippine ana
all other Spanish islands in the Pacific
and the absolute REIMBURSEMENT by
Spain of all right or claim of sover-
eighty in such islands.
what disposition is to be made of
these provinces must be determined by
the United States untrammeled by con-
ditions in a treaty of peace. The United
States should dictate-nOt negotiate
the terms of peace, the same as Ger
many did to France. If Spain would
absolutely withdraw all claim to the
islands within the influence Of our pres
ent military operations I would exact
no further indemnity, but if she con-
tinues the war our claims, as compensa-
ton, must be enlarged for the expense
which the United States would suffer
from her folly"

THE STREET FAIR.
May Be Placed on East Eighth Street
for a Block.

The proposition was made by John
Waters at the Karnival Knights, meeting
last night for a street fair to be given
two days of Fall Festival week by the
KarniVal Knights.
The proposition met with favor, provid-
ed the fair could be successfully carried
out and without too much expense
My idea said Mr.. Waters, lis to have
block or two on some street set aside
for street fair. Have everything there
in the way of booths, sideshows. street
fakirs and midway attractions. Music and
nnerrynaking would be the principal fea-
tures'

engage so feet and if necessary would be

President Q. K. Holiday, Jr., appointed
a committee to investigate the matter
thoroughly and report at the next meet
ing, to be held Thursday night at the
Commercial club rooms. East Eighth
street, which is wide, is one of those pro-
posed.
