ComplInented by the Kaiser.
IFrom the wiesbadener Tageblatt.

From the Wiesbadener Tageblatt
His majesty the Kaiser was present at
the performance of RossiEis Barber of
Seville, u which was given at the royal
theatre last evening.
The theatre in its festal decorations was
again filled to the last seat for this, the
second of the entertainments given at
royal command, (dU alter h5chSteH
BefehL)
Promptly at half past seven a flourish of
trumpets announced the entrance of the
Kaiser, who, accompanied by Kammerherr
Won Hulsen, took his place in the proscenium
box at the left of the stage.
The opera, directed by Conductor J..
Schlar, was rendered in excellent style.
The greatest honors of the evening were
with justice accorded to Miss Mary Howe
as Rosina. Particularly in the lesson
scene with her singing of the variations by
Adam-or as Bartolo remarked, "the old
Adam"-the artistic displayed all the excel
lences of her rich executive talents.
The impersonators of the leading roles
were honored with generous applause in
which the Kaiser often took the lead. Miss
Mary Howe, the Rosina of the cast, was
especially honored in being received and
personally complimented by the Kaiser,
who expressed himself to the artistic as hav-
ing been greatly interested in her perfor-
nance, praising particularly her perfect
method and extraordinary technique.

ENLISTED FOR THE WAR.

A wrong inference ought not to be gained
from the statement that Rev. c. O. Day,
chaplain of the First Regiment, Vermont
National Guard, leaves his church under a
three months leave of absence from the
trustees.
When Mr.. Days departure with the reg
iment was first proposed the three months
arrangement seemed to be the best plan
while awaiting developments. Nothing,
however, is further from Mr.. Days
thought than that he is to be gone only
three months in any event.
"He has enlisted for the war" as the
patriotic saying was in 81, and will stay
with the boys as long as they stay.

took them home to her. Before she had
taken all of the first box we noticed a
change for the better.
"She gained strength daily.
"Every one noticed the change; |
bought two more boxes. When she had
taken them she was strong enough to
leave her bed, and in less than six months
was something like herself.
"To-day she is entirely cured, and is
big, strong, healthy girl, weighing 100
pounds, and has never had sick day
since.
IL know DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved
my daughters life and / am glad TO re-
commend them to the world"
To further verify this statement Mr..
Trout made affidavit to Its truthfulness
before Robert E. Hull, Jr., Notary Public.
The last decade Of the nineteenth CEN
tory has been marked by some OF the
most important discoveries IN the history
Of the world. None have done more to
benefit mankind than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Some of the cures
effected by this wonderful remedy almost
equal the miracles Of old. Diseases long
supposed incurable have sueeumbed to
their potency. The paralyzed have
walked; the weak and ailing have
stepped from their beds we'll and strong.
The evidence is irrefutable. The fact
stands supreme that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are the greatest blessing ever bestowed
on suffering humanity.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
druggists throughout the land.

Few men in Detroit Real Estate Circles
are better known than Frank B. Trout.
None place a higher value on their reputa-
ton.
MIR. Trout has reason 10 believe in the
potency of DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
he does not hesitate 10 say SO.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills saved the life
Of his daughter.
Saved her when eminent physicians
failed; when the phArmacopoeia was ex-
haustedj when science acknowledged
defeat.
The gratitude Of the father overbalanees
the natural conservatism OF the man, and
he tells the world his story that others
may be benefited.
"At the age Of fourteen" said MIR.
Trout, 1--WE had to take our daughter
from school owing to her health. She
began to fall away and became pale and
lAnguid. She was so weak she would
fall down every time she tried to walk
unsupported. -,
when she was fifteen she weighed
only ninety pounds.
"She was actually fading away.
"Several physicians said she might out
grow it, but that it would no doubt termi-
nate in consumption.
"She was growing weaker every day;
we concluded we must lose our child.
The medical profession had exhausted
their skill, we had tried all the we'll known
remedies. Finally bought box Of DR..

BELLICOSE DOYLE.
He Assaulted John Calvin Saturday
Night and Was Arrested by Chief-of-
Police Hall.

He Assaulted John Calvin Saturday
Night and Was Arrested by Chief-of-
Police Hall.
A decidedly refractory customer was run
in by Chief-of- police Hall Saturday night
in the person of John Doyle, recently en-
ployed by John Calvin.
Doyle began work for Mr. Calvin about
a month ago. About : o'clock Saturday
evening Mr.. Calvin gave him his pass
ports and he betook himself out of the
state, it is said in the direction of the brew
cry.
He had SAL in his pocket at the time.
Later in the evening he returned to this
side of the river and began making him
self generally disagreeable. He went into
Coleman's lunch room evidently with the
intention of cleaning out" the rooms, but
he finally withdrew and returned to Mr..
Galvin's store and assaulted the proprietor,
who put him into the street.
Chief-of-P Police Hall received notice of
Doyle's behavior and he requested Doyle
TO come with him. Doyle refused and il
was necessary to lay him out on the side
walk several times in order to bring him
under subsection. He was then taken to
the lookup where he spent Sunday. He
was arraigned this morning before Justice
Newton who imposed a fine of So and
costs amounting to about $40, having ac-
cepted plea of guilty from Doyle.
When arrested Doyle had 81 cents in his
pocket where three or four hours before
were SAL. He also had pint of whiskey.
His disclosure was that he obtained the
liquor at the brewery after gaining admis-
sion by giving the necessary signal con-
sisting of a certain number of taps.

Brilliantly Lighted Edihce.

From Saturdays Daily
Those of the Congregational society who
attend the regular Friday evening meet
ings were agreeably surprised at one of
the recent Improvements in the church,
which has not been mentioned heretofore
for the reason that it was intended to be a
surprise. This improvement is in the
lighting of the church. Previously the
church has been lighted by gas. Here
after it is to be lighted by two large brass
chandeliers, each consisting of 80 mean
descent electric lights averaging Ii candle
power. The chandeliers are the gift of
two members of the church and they were
used for the first time Friday evening.
They are remarkably elegant and hand
some in their arrangement. The church
is now the best lighted auditorium in town.

Services Sunday at the Congregational
Church,

An unusually large audience was pres
ent at the evening service at the Congre-
gational church Sunday, when a special
program of praise was rendered. Rev. Mr.
Days subject was Light and he referred
incidentally to the new electric lights
which have just been put into the church,
largely by the Oldest member of the church,
for memorial. Mr.. Day urged that we
take conscience for our guiding light and
do as conscience directs. We should keep
the main issue in mind, as in the present
crisis, disregarding whatever shortcomings
there may be in the methods by which the
ultimate results are to be obtained. The
musical program was as follows:
Anthem, "Sing Unto the Lord" Parkhurst
Male quartet Praise Ye the Lord" Gounod
Cornet solo, The Lost Chord" Sullivan
Mr.. Morse.
quartet Lead Kindly Light" Buck
Male quartet, Evening Song"

HIGHWAY HEARING.
Canal street win Probably be widen,

Canal Street WIN Probably be wIdened
The hearing before the commissioners
on the proposition TO widen Canal street
from the intersection of Organ street to
Maple street is still in progress ia the
county clerks Office. Five of the petition
ers were examined yesterday afternoon in
Guiding II. G. Clark, S. A. Smith, G. II.
Clark, j. j. Estey and c. E. Alexander.
The testimony of these witnesses tended
to show that Canal street is the main
thoroughfare from Brattleboro to Guilford,
Bernardston and various other towns and
that the population of Prospect Hill and
Esteyvlle has so increased as to require
more heavy trucking to those places than
formerly, and that this trucking is done
over Pine street in reaching Prospect
Hill and over Maple street in reaching Es-
teyville. Both those streets are reached
by traversing that point of Canal street in
question.
The witnesses claimed that since the
electric railroad was constructed the hill
near the track often becomes badly
washed by rains, making it difficult to
cross the track, and that the track occupies
so much of the road as to render travelling
| dangerous at that point Their testimony
tended TO show further that the danger in
meeting the cars is so great that persons
with teams coming down the hill often
wait until car passes rather than run the
risk of meeting one. The fact was brought
out that this is not done so much now as
when the road was built.
Another objection is that in winter the
snow is thrown from the track and from
the sidewalk into the road, making it i'm
possible for teams to pass. During the
afternoon the record of the proceedings of
the April term of the county court in 1867
was introduced showing the survey of the
road as made at that time as bearing upon
the question OF damages provided the
court grants the petition of the plaintiffs.
Five witnesses for the petitioners were
examined this morning. That side rested
its case at II o'clock and the examination
of the towns witnesses was begun. II,
+. Bond, II. Z. Taylor Edgar Stoddard,
w o. -NtWlOu anu OlneTS testified. lneN
believed that the place in question was no
more dangerous than many others in town
and they thought the benefit derived would
be incommensurate with the cost of the
improvement. The highest estimate of
the cost was $1,000.
From Tuesdays Daily
The commissioners, before whom the
Canal street road case was brought, have
practically decided to recommend to the
court that the prayer of the petitioners be
granted and they have also surveyed the
premises and have driven stakes making
the proposed boundary line.
The commissioners intimate that the
widening would benefit rather than de-
tract from the value of Mrs. Haskins's
land, which will be more largely involved
than the land of anyone else, and for that
reason it is expected that they hold that
Mrs. Haskins is not entitled to damages.
hearing on the question of damages
will probably be held soon.
Whatever may be the conclusion of the
commissioners, interested persons will
probably ask the court not TO accept their
report.

Special Town Meeting.

The selectmen of Brattleboro have post
ed warrants calling for a special meet
ing Saturday forenoon, May 14,at 10 o'clock
to discuss the matter of building a new
bridge across Milestone brook at Main
street.
Estimates as to the cost of repairing the
present bridge and of building new wood
en- bridge, stone arch and iron bridge
will be submitted to the voters. The
selectmen are now at work preparing these
estimates,
The cost of the iron bridge at West
Brattleboro was about $500. The span of
both bridges is nearly the same, but the
bridge on Main street is about twice as
wide. The castings for an iron bridge at
Main street would have to be heavier than
the one at West Brattleboro, so it is fair to
estimate that an iron bridge would cost
from $4,000 to $4,000. No estimate of the
cost of an arch has yet been made, though
of course in the end the building of an
arch would be the most economical way
out of the difficulty.

Fuller Battery.

The announcement that the services of
the artillery companies of the state would
probably not be required in the war, at
least at present, was a great disappoint-
ment not only to the members of the com
panes but to the recruits and to many
others who were intending to enlist. When
the Fuller Battery received orders Wed
nesday to defer further enlistments the
battery had been recruited to its full COM
plement of $50 men. Since then many APP
plications for enlistment haveb been received,
and, being refused, the applicants have ap-
piled for enlistment in the Estey Guard.
Several regular members of the battery
have also withdrawn and have applied for
enlistment in the guard.
AS matter of fact the artillery com
panies are being held in reserve, it being
the opinion of Secretary Alger that their
services in defending the sea coast would
be of greater value in case of an attack
there.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL.
THE MILITARY.
Protest Against Col. CIarks's Proposed
Removal.

Removal.
The Montpelier Argus is authority for
the statement that it is the intention of
Gov. Grout to remove Col o. D. Clark of
that city from the head of the First Regi-
ment in order to give the command to a
regular army officer, and it is said that
Major S. p Jocelyn, now on duty in this
state, is slated for the position.
The Argus says intense indignation has
| been aroused among all who have heard of
the proposed move, not only among the
members of the National Guard, but
among others as well, and this sentiment
is not confined to Montpelier. No more
unpopular or ill advised move could be
made than this.
1t will have a disastrous effect on the
volunteering of Vermont troops for serv-
ice and will create division and i'll feeling
where it ought not to exist at such time.
Militia companies in other towns have
been communicated with since the matter
became known, and it is absolutely certain
that 800 men who had been confidently re-
lied upon to take the field will not go out if
Col. Clark is deposed. Probably others will
refuse when they learn of the situation.
Col. Clark, in his ability, experience and
capacity, as well as in the regard he has
inspired among the men in the command,
is an ideal officer, and it would sadly Grip
pie Vermonts prestige and usefulness in
this crisis if he should be removed.
Vigorous protestations will be promptly
made to Gov. Grout in the hope of induc-
ing him to abandon a purpose which can
have nothing but bad results.
Guardsmen Are Loyal to Col. Clark.
The news that Gov. Grout contemplated
removing Col. O. d. Clark Of Montpelier
from the command of the First Regiment,
Vermont National Guard, to make room
for regular army officer, was received
with great surprise and indignation by the
Brattleboro guardsmen. Some of the
prominent members expressed the opinion
that many of the men who had volunteered
would refuse to enter the service, and that
the regiment would be completely disor-
gained in crse such a step were taken.
