SIXTEEN YEARS AT WINDSOR.
Sentence OF William W. Lawrence for Shooting
Judge SeaveT.

Supreme Court met at Montpelier
Thursday forenoon July II, ali the
judges being present except Judge
Taft. There were about 30 attor-
neys present.
The following is taken fronr the
Montpelier Records report of the
proceedings:
After decisions III several civil
Gu ses had been rendered, William
w. Lawrence, who was convicted
Of shooting JUICE of Probate L. o.
Seaver ot Wood, stock with intent to
kill, August -, 1897, was brought
into court by Sheriff Collins.
Lawrcnce's case was appealed
from the Windsor county court to
the May term OF the Supreme court,
since which time he has been con-
fined IN Jail in this city.
During the reading of the de-
cision, which sustained the verdict
OF the lower court, Lawrence was
deeply agitated, holding frequent
conference with his attorney, Hon.
Frank Plumley, who at the close OF
the reading of the decision aske
the court that Il minimum sentence
be imposed, arguing that Lawrence
was irresponsible at the time the act
was committed, his mind being
overweight by family troubles and
also having been in Il famished con-
dition because of being unable to
take food for several days prior to
the shooting on account of his men
tai condition. MIR. Plumley also
presented petition of mercy to the
court signed by a large number of
his clients neignbors
]. G. Harvey, states attorney Tor
Windsor county, argued that there
were no extenuating circumstances
in Lawrence's case, as he had, Il
month prior to the committal OF the
crime, written to Gov. Grout pro-
testing against Judge Seaver's issu-
ing the order which deprived him of
his child, and the same letter con-
tanned threat of what he after
wards did.
Lawrence was sentenced Thurs
day afternoon to sixteen wears
confinement ut hard labor in the
state prison and he was taken to
Windsor that evening by Sheriff
Spafford and Deputy Hoffman.

1 HAPPY TITO UGHT.

How to get people interested in relig- ious affairs is one of the problems of the time, and many interesting eXperi- ments have been made by eager work CTS for the Lord. Bicycle sheds and bicycle sermons have probably induced some to go to meeting who otherwise would not have gone. One preacher in New Jersey has added a dancing class to,his attractions" A Boston preach CT took for his subject "To Hell with Spain," and thus got chance to im- press large audience with the beauty of holiness. The latest happy thought in thls line is the invention of a little girl in a New York town. She is the daughter of well known citizen, and the pastor asked her if it was not pos sible to get her father interested in the church and its work, and, how he, the pastor, could set about it, well" said the bright little daughter, knowing her fathers weakness, you might begin by inviting him to poker gamer"

SOME SOUND COUNSEL.

AS the annual session of the United States League of Building and Loan Associations the other day one import ant fact was especially prominent. This fact is that the associations are suffer- ing from the great abundance of mon- ey now seeking profitable use. The secretary of the League remarked in his annual report that the tendency of the year has been to lower rates of in terest. Money has been accommodating in vast sums, not only in building as- scciations, but in all other financial in- stltUtions, and the demand for loans has been remarkably light The aues- tion O. how to advantageously dispose of and invest these accumulative funds has beer4 a serious problem with many associations, and one which some have not yet been able to solve to their en- tire satisfaction. Rates of interest on desirable loans have of necessity been lowered for the investing of the sur plus funds, and reduction in the rate per cent of dividends is sure to follow.
 In view of this condition of things some advice given the association by MT. Frank Sanborn of Massachusetts is sound and timely. When, he said, the little cooperative banks are going on well, with small loans, well secured, on property that can be seen and valued by any member who chooses to look up the investments, there comes a time when some members banker after larg- CT profits, or a quick return for their money by the termination of the series. If indulged, this hankering leads to bolder ventures, to loans that depend for their security more on the future than the present value of property, to distant loans, perhaps, where the rate of interest is higher than in the marrow circle Of existing local business. This IS the gambling spirit, which is so

marked feature in the financial trans actions of our country, and even the whole world at present. It may be in- dulged in by young men who have money of their own to risk; but even then it is not to be encouraged. For men who hold the property of others, in trust, every incentive to gamble with this property should be sternly re" pelled This temptation will come un- der many forms, some of them very in- sidious; the decision as to safe invest ment will often be very perplexing; but the only sure rule is to be content with small gains, and seek safety above all things.
 This Is good advice. If its value is realized and if it is acted upon there may not be as much money in building and loan associations as there has been, but there will not be the wailing and gnashing of teeth that follow haste to be rich.

no shoulder seams, for the sleeves start from the ribbon about the neck and hang very wide open. The jacket hangs straight back and front from the neck, is India or liberty silk and is covered with lines of pulled ribbon. This too, is worn over a pretty petti- coat.
 Still another new design was chosen for this picture. It was found in white taffeta. It had loose fronts slightly shirred at the neck, and the back formed Vatican pleat. It was fin- ished with double collar: the lower of silk with a wide lace rutfle, and oth- CT trimmed with insertion. White ribbon tied the fronts, and lace tabot rippled down the center. The bishop sleeves were tied at the elbows with white taffeta ribbon and were com pleted with lace-edged ruffles. This jacket was not lined and could be cop jed successfully in lawn or null
 Dainty print jackets cost much less than those described, and when stiffiy starched and span-clean have their own attractiveness.

 Bath robes at pres mt are especially elaborate, because women who ba the at sea and lake side set these fashions. They are in cloak pattern, without sleeves, straps on the under side hold ing them in place. Great soft hoods lined with becoming color fall about the head, and the toweling usually en- ployed in the garments is striped to match the hood lining. Often the whole cloak is lined to match. The outdoor bather is very modest this year and when she comes out of the water for even a few minutes she wraps herself in the robe Then as she lies on the sand the robe comes little open, it's lining sets off her suit, incidentally herself, and yet she has the air of be- ing demurely modest all the time.
