UnIversaIists Can n Pastor.

Seventy-four people attended the Uni
versalist parish meeting last Friday even
ing and voted unanimously to extend a
call to r. X. Marvin, senior in the theo-
logical school at Tufts college. Mr.. Mar
vim preached in the Universalist church
Sunday. In private conversation he sig
nifed his intentions of accepting the call.
He will preach here at intervals until his
graduation in June, after which he will be-
gin his regular pastoral duties.
Reginold X. Marvin was born in Ports
mouth, n. H., Feb. l, 1875. He lived at
Portsmouth until he was II years of age
when his parents moved to Roxbury,
Mass. Mr.. Marvin received his prepare
tory education in the Roxbury Latin
school. He entered Tufts college in 1892,
graduating from that institution four years
later, and at once beginning his studies in
the theological department. Mr.. Marvin
will be ordained to the ministry in June.
MI. Marvin received call from Norwich,
Conn, previous to the one given him by
the Unversalist society here.

Esnders on the Trolley Cars.

The state board of railroad commission
ers held meeting in Burlington Friday to
consider the request of several electric
railroad companies in regard to the law re-
Gently passed requiring all the electric rail-
road companies in the state to attach tenders
to their cars. The law required that the
tenders should be attached within a GER
tain time, and that time will end in about
two months. The commissioners have
furnished the companies with list of three
makes of tenders, any of which they are
willing should be used. Several compan-
les requested that the fender known as the
Pfinest be added to the list furnished by
the commissioners, and it was for the con-
sderation of that request that the COM
missioners met Friday. Upon examina-
ton of the Ptinest fender all the compan-
les except the Brattleboro company with
drew their request. The tenders named
in the list are adjustable so that when a
car approaches a person upon the track
the fender can be Immediately dropped so
as to rest upon the track and avoid strik-
ing the person above the ankles. The
Pinest fender cannot be so adjusted, but
remains stationary several inches above
the rails. The railroad company believes
that in town like Brattleboro, where there
is little danger of accident, the Pfinest
fender would be just as satisfactory as the
more expensive ones.

REV. MIR. MAXWELL M1souoTEp
His Remarks showed That the Parish
In southern Vermont Compared ia.
vorabIy with Others In New England

His Remarks showed That the parrish
in southern Vermont Compared ia.
vOrsbIy win Others In New England.
The Cleaner, a paper published by the
First Universalist society of Somervile
Mass, says that the report OF Rev. II. u
Maxwelrs remarks before the Unversalist
Social Union were misleading. The Her.
aid quoted him as saying that in a parish
where he had labored % per cent of the
women we're regular attendants at the ser.
vice of worship; G5 per cent seldom or
never entered the house of God, and the
remaining ten per cent appear there once
a month or once in two months: then ont
of perhaps 300 or 400 men in the parish
only about 70 or so we're regular attend
ants.
The worst thing about the above is that
it does a great injustice to the faithful
who are the real support and strength of
so many churches. What Mr.. Maxwell
did say was that in the parish referred TO
% per cent of the men were regular wor-
shippers, and that G5 per cent seldom or
never entered the house of God. And out
of perhaps 200 or 300 women in the par.
ish all but IS or so were faithful in their
attendance upon public worship.
This puts the matter in an entirely diff
ferent light. The fact was emphasized
and deplored that only about a quarter of
the men in this parish in Southern Yer
mont we're regular attendants at the ser
vice of the church. And we think this
showing compares favorably with the
average Universalist parish, perhaps with
the average Protestant parish in the towns
and villages of New England.

Runaway BOY Taken Home.

Chef-of-P olice Hall went to Greenfield,
Mass, Wednesday to return a runaway
boy to his uncle. The boy left Greenfield
last Friday for Brattleboro without telling
anybody where he was going. His uncle,
with whom he was living (the boys par
ents being dead, notified the Greenfield
officers, and the latter telephoned TO the
towns south of Greenfield, thinking tine
boy had gone in that direction. About
noon Wednesday Mrs. Bacon of the Main
street restaurant, saw the boy walking on
the railroad and she recognized him, hav-
ing been acquainted with his relatives in
Greenfield. She got him to go to the
restaurant for dinner and while he was
there Chief-of-Police Hall was summoned
Mr.. Hall spoke by telephone with Police
man Peabody of Greenfield and was re-
quested to take the boy home. The boy
said his only object in running away was
to secure work. While in Brattleboro he
slept in freight cars and in the buildings
near the depot.

Lecture and Recital Ut the Baptist
Church.

The gifts of Interpretation and of men,
DRY were tittingly shown on Wednesday
evening by Prof. Cramer, the new organ
list at the Baptist church. The Bible lect-
ure was to have musical prelude, but as
it turned out the recital covered the ma
jor part of the evening. Promptly at 1913
Mr.. Cramer began the professional march
by Scotson Clarke. An added and unex-
pected pleasure was given to the musical
program by the presence and assistance of
Mrs. Cramer pronounced Crahmer, not
Crdmer), who is, and has been for several
years, the leading soprano at the Metho-
dist Episcopal church in Claremont, Y. H.
Mrs. Cramer possesses a soprano voice
of good range and very pleasing quality,
and sings with intelligence. She sang
with excellent taste C0nen's familiar
"Come Unto Me" and that beautiful song
by Hamilton Gray, "a Dream of Heaven"
Afterward she sang by request "The
-Four Leaf Clover" with its teaching of
one for faith, one for hope, another for
love and the fourth for luck. The three
movements from Handel's fifth concerto
were exceptionally well rendered and
evoked much enthusiasm.
A blunder on the part of the Calcium
Light company in Boston led to the send
ing of hydrogen cylinder with fittings
which were below standard size and in
spite of two solid hours of effort on the
part of the operator it was not possible to
properly connect the lantern, and the illus
trated lecture was postponed until Wednes-
day evening, May TO- The subject for
that lecture will be "Side Lights on the
Old Testament from Solomon to Ezra"
A musical program will precede the lecture
as on previous evenings. The audience
on Wednesday evening were very generous
ganist at the keys for over an hour instead
of a half hour. The resources of the or
gan were thus well displayed as we'll as the

Death of Mrs. ]. II. richardson.

Mrs. Elizabeth D. Richardson, rs, wild
ow of j. II. Richardson, died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. D. L. Crosier in
Guilford, about o'clock Tuesday night
after an illness OF about three weeks. Flu
neral services were held in the church in
Guilford at o'clock yesterday, Rev. f.
Z. Marble of Brattleboro officiating. The
burial was in the family lot in West Brat
tleboro. Mrs Richardson was born in
Grafton Oct. %, 1920. At an early age
she went to Greenfield, Mass, where she
married Mr.. Richardson. From Greenfield
they went to Halifax, where they began
farming, and from Halifax they moved to
Stamford where they lived about 40 years.
They next came to Brattleboro and lived
a year or two on the Pettee stock farm,
after which they bought a farm in Gull
ford Centre. About six years ago they
built house on Highland street and went
there to live. Mr.. Richardson died about
a year and half ago. Mrs. Richardson
went to Guilford to live with her daughter
about the time her illness began. Mr..
and Mrs. Richardson were the parents of
~ children, three of whom are living
Silas W. and Waldo Z. Richardson of Brat
tleboro and Mrs. d. L. Crosier of Gull
ford Two sons gave their lives in the
service of their country, one dying of fe-
yer and the other being killed in the bat

always interested in the welfare of her ac-
quaintances.

Fuller Park without n Band stand.

The people of Esteyville would like to
know by what authority Geo. E. Bishop,
or any other individual had to tear the band
stand down, and remove it and the seats
from the park, and make kindling wood of
the same. The band stand, or the lumber,
was given by our late friend and benefactor,
Gov. L. X. Fuller, and built by the people
of Esteyville. We have long been proud
of our little park, so neatly fixed up by
the governor, and the people of the whole
village who have met with us on many an
occasion to listen to speeches as well as
music from the old stand, will be surprised
to learn that the spirit of vandalism should
lead any one to commit so bold an act as
to move landmark so dear to many, and
then in defiant manner laud himself as
the invincible hero of the hill.

A CRAB FAMINE.
An Unexpected Scarcity Causes /.
Rise OF Three Hundred Per
Cent. I'm Price.

The prices of crabs have risen 300 per
cent. in the east. During an ordinary
season the price per dozen is in the
neighborhood Of IS cents. This wear
crabs bring from 60 to IS cents per
dozen. From one dollar barrel the
price has scared to three dollars, four
dollars, and even five dollars. AS a
usual thing New Workers. consume
about 25 barrels of crabs each day. For
the past few months, since the severe
cold weather of the winter, the leaders
have been compelled to be contented
with whatever they could get. Some
days not more than four barrels would
be received. The supply has varied
from that amount to Is barrels. The
famine is due to the severe cold
weather of last winter. 1t usually oc-
ours that after exceeding cold weather
the supply of shell fish becomes scant.
Five or six months time is required to
get the sources of supply back to their
normal producing condition. The very
cold weather of last winter had the eff
feet OF driving the crabs to hibernate
in the mud and to seek deeper and
warmer water. The alternating crabs
have not yet made their way out of the
mud, and it will remain for the next
change of tide to uncover them. Dur
ing the winter months The crab supply
is received from Norfolk. few from
Annapolis and from the lower points
on the Chesapeake bay. In summer
the Potomac river supplies the crabs
used in the city.

The Four Ks.

Two American women lately visit
ed the German Kaiser on board his
yacht at Kiel. They we're pioneers
in the movement for the emancipa-
ton OF women in Germany. The
Kaiser listened patiently to the end.
@Wen," said his majesty, with sigh
of relief, Il agree with my wife. She
says that women have no business to
interfere with anything outside Of the
four KS"
aThe four KS" said the fair Ameri-
cans in chorus.
@Oh, l forgot, anded the Kaiser.
"you don't speak German. The four
KS are kinder, kirche, kuche and
kleider-childern, church, kitchen
and clothes"
The American ladies retired from
the contest, convinced that the Kais-
er was hopeless subject.

From the American point of view
the insurgent leaders over in the Phil

Louis Rodriguez, the Filipino, now re-
siding in New Orleans, who has applied
for the position of stenographer on
Gen. Otis staff, according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. 1T may sur
prise you to know that their average
age is between Is and 1S. know near
ly all of them personally and many of
them are the sons of our old friends
and neighbors, so am not at all likely
to be mistaken. There is hardly ma
tive officer in Aguinaldo's whole COM
mand who has reached 30, and very
few who are over Is. know positively
that some of the colonels and minor
officers are boys between Is and 10. g..
ut should be borne in mind. howevey,
that young people mature much more
rapidly in: that tropical climate than
they do in this country. There Is is re-
garded as an age of discretion and re-
sponsibility, and not few marry even
younger. Severe. long-continued ex-
ertion is impossible in the; latitude of
Manila, and man Of 35 ought to be pro-
vided against future wants. To that
end he has to begin early. Aguinaldo
chose boys for his officers because he
was shrewd enough to appreciate the
military value Of the enthusiasm Of
youth"

A Girls Idea or Boys,

At an examination In a certain
school for girls an essay on aboys' was
ordered written, and this was one of
the compositions:
"The boy is not an animal, yet he
can be heard to a considerable dis
lance. When boy hollers he opens
his mouth like frogs, but girls hold
their tongues till they are spoke to,
and they answer respectable, and tell
just how it WAS. A boy thinks be is
clever, because he can wade where it
is deep, but God made the dry land
for every living thing, and rested on
the seventh day. When the boy
grows up he is called husband and
stays out nights, but the grew up girl
is widow and keeps house."
