Dewev Dav AZ MontpeIIer.

The great Admiral has sanctioned October IL
for the big celebration in his honor at Montpelier
and 1t goes without saying that every road leads
TO the Vermont capital city on that day. The
Boston & Mainelrailroad, with its.connecting lines
is equal TO the demands Of time and has arranged
for popular price to Montpelier and return from
stations north of Springfield, Mass. and Concord,
N. H., also from Boston, Lowell, Lawrence,
Nashua, and Manchester, N. H., the White
Mountains division, the Claremont branch, and
in fact from nearly every station in New .Hamp-
shire and Vermont. Everyone knows that YER
mont and Montpelier are to make the reception
TO the "Hero of Manila Bay" rouser, and all
who can will no doubt take in the big time.

RECRUITS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Four BrattlebOrO Boys Join 40th
Regiment.

Arthur Piper, Clarence Tenney, George
Merrill and Ernest LOnguil--PIper a
spanish-American war Veteran.
-Four Brattleboro boys who have enlisted
In the doth United States Volunteers for
service in the Philippines left this morn
ing TO Join the regiment at South Franz
ingham. The recruits are:
Arthur V. D. Piper, %, lawyer, sergeant
In company l of the Vermont National
Guard, five years a member of the Vermont
National Guard, and corporal in the
First Vermont Volunteers in the Spanish
American war.
Clarence A. Tenney, 10, case maker at
the Estey organ factory.
George w Merrill, %, teamster.
Ernest r. Longuil, 10, who has worked
as a farm hand the past summer.
These men enlisted at the recruiting Of
fee opened in Ryther block last Friday by
First Lieutenant Fred 7. Austin. Two
other applicants failed to pass the physical
examination, and several who made ap-
plication were rejected on sight without
examination.
1t is expected that the regiment, which
is now fully recruited, will leave South
birmingham in two or three weeks, and
that the Philippines will be reached not
later than Dec. /.
The 4Gth regiment will contain about
100 Vermonters. Lieut.. Austin, who
was regimental adjutant of the 9TH Massa-
chusetts regiment last year, is graduate
of Norwich university and former drum
major of the Vermont regimental band.
He has been assigned to company A, so
that he is the senior lieutenant in line for
promotion to a captaincy. Wallace N.
Batchelder of Chester, who was private
In the Rough Riders, is a first lieutenant
in this regiment; former First Sergeant
Bailey of company +, Mortified, second
lieutenant; and C. w. Pierce, quarter
master sergeant Of company l., Newport,
second lieutenant. The last three have
not received their assignments.
Lieut.. Austin closed the recruiting Of
fee here yesterday morning.
Mr. Piper's experience in military af-
fairs will probably secure him an appoint
ment las non-commissioned officer at the
start, and he says frankly that he goes in
to the ranks with hope of working his
way to a commission.

Vote of Thanks.

In behalf of the Valley Fair association,
also in my own behalf, l wish to thank
each exhibitor from the largest to the
smallest who contributed to make the ag-

To you, and to you alone, belongs the
credit, for which every one has reason to
be justly proud, and 1 wish to say to each
one of you if there has been any mistakes
made that you will kindly overlook them
all, for you must realize that every speci-

for the judges to determine which was
best. Trusting that the same unity will
prevail in the future as in the past, and
that each of you will put your shoulder to
the wheel another year and when our
Valley Fair comes we shall keep up our
high standard. Yours very truly,

A COMMENTED WOMAN.
HOyvs Most Humorous Comedy VIII

day Evening.

HOyvs Most Humorous Comedy VIII
BE Presented at the Auditorium Tues
day Evening.
When Hoyt's best and most humorous
comedy, "a Contented Woman" is pre-
scented at the Auditorium next Tuesday
evening, 1t is but fair to presume that
standing room will be at a premium to
late corners. Playwright Hoyt has written
and produced a score or more of successes,
but from all reports, his most emphatic
success, the one that has brought him the
most dollars and placed him more promi-
nently before the public as a successful
author, is "a Contented Woman" It is
claimed that he has never shown a more
thorough knowledge of what makes the
success of such piece, than in this pro-
duction. Its novel features, ridiculously
funny scenes and situations, and a superb
cast, more than anything, has made it a GO.
The music in the piece--and there is
so much that at times 1t takes on an air of
light opera---is of the most spirited and
catchy kind, and is the work of the late
Richard Stahl, the author of the operas
''Said Pasha, "The Lion Tanner" 1.-THE
Sea King" etc. Cast headed by beautiful
Belle Archer.

Presented with Every Detail Complete.

Next Tuesday evening at the Audito-
rum the much talked of and extensively
advertised success, "a Contented Woman"
the most pretentious work of Americas
popular playwright, Charles Hoyt, will be
presented identicaHy the same in every de-
tail as given at Hoyt's theatre, New York.
"a Contented Woman" like all of Mr.
Hoyt's comedies, is satire, and was con-
structed for laughing purposes only, and
to furnish an enjoyable evenings enter
tainment. 1t is said that Mr.. Hoyt has
been lavish in the expenditure of money
in making this production that will APP
peal to the eye as we'll as to the ear. Every
accessory that can possibly add to the sue
cess of "a Contented Woman" has been
carefully looked after, and the extravagant
stage settings, with the gorgeous costumes,
and the bevy of strikingly pretty girls, can
not fail to make a wonderfully pleasant
picture under the dazzling brightness Of
the calcium. The cast numbers % people,
and is headed by Miss Belle Archer.

X. 4. Gordon took peaceful possession NJ
the store in behalf of Mrs. Geo. L. Richard,
OF winchester, n. H., who holds a lpor,.
gage OF S2OOO on the store, and appointed
Frank l.. Reed, head clerk, as temporary
keeper. As result Mr.. Durgin flea
schedules in bankruptcy yesterday after.
noon.
The failure is attributed largely to the
business depression which Bratteboro. in
common with the rest of the country ev
perienced four years ago, when many mer.
chants, even those having a long estab.
lished trade, found it difficult to carry on
business. Mr.. Durgin came TO Braita,
boro from Winchendon, Mass, feeling Jus.
titled in carrying on the business partiollv
hard times, and although the store has
paid well the past two years, Mr.. Durpin
has been hampered by the burdens AZ.

by his creditors until he has concluded
that to go through bankruptcy is the onlv

Previous to coming to Brattleboro Mr.
Durgin was in business for five years in
Winchendon, Mass. He learned the drug
business in Nstick, Mass, going from there
to Boston, then to Quincy, and then to
Winchendon. His experience covers a
period of 10 years, and it is pleasant to
state that if matters can be satisfactorily
arranged he will continue the business In
Brattleboro.

THE JOHNSON ESTATE.

The administrators in the jeremiah
Johnson estate have sold so acres of
the land to Isaac Menerey for $1,000,
and a separate 40 TO Walter Johnson,
the mute, who had always remained at
home, for 500. Walter had been al
lowed 5000 for past services on the
farm, and by this arrangement the in
tentiOns of Mr. Johnson have been
carried out as nearly as possible, as he
had promised to deed this land to Wal
ter as soon as membranes were re-
moved.
BY virtue of the statutes the widow
receives her interests in the land sold,
and she and the children have the
homestead 40 during her life and the
minority of the children.
The administrators are satisfied that
these arrangements are the best that
could be made to secure the payment

lection of those who needed protection,

GREATER FREEDOM IN
UNIVERSITY STUDIES
Students Given an Option for Less
Mathematics and Fewer Hours Of
Prescribed Work.

BERKELEY. Dec. IAN important
change in the courses OF study at the Uni
versity of California is being made by the
faculty at the close of the present term.
The change goes into effect after August
/, 1900, and its general tendency is 10
tighten the academic work by doing away
with a great deal of prescribed study.
which for a long time has been the bane
of students.
The first alteration comes I'm the old bug
bear OF mathematics. According to pres
ent regulations the academic courses
given in the colleges Of letters, social
sciences and natural sciences require ten
hours of mathematics before the aca-
demic degrees can be conferred. This re-
qurement the faculty has slashed almost
by one-half cutting the number OF hours
down 10 a minimum or six. the reason
for this is given that the standard OF
mathematics in preparatory schools has
ton.
A second slash has been made I'm the
number of units for work In the group
elective. The present requirements OF
thirty hours have been cut to twenty-four
for the three colleges mentioned above.
The last change lessons the amount OF
pedagogy required for State high school
teachers certificates by four hours. Up
to this time twelve units of work have
been necessary. Now but eight will be
needed.
In adopting this new method the Uni
versity OF California follows the lead Of
Harvard University which has been the
pioneer in the matter OF freedom OF choice
to it's students. Ii Is thought that the in
fiuence of President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler has been largely instrumental in
inducing the faculty TO take this forward
