Mr.. Anderson, of Egan, Anderson &
Co., the new proprietors Of the Allan
tic Telegraph, was in town Wednes-
day looking after the contract which
the old firm had for supplying the
county with all of it's blank books, and
also soliciting other blank book work.
Owing to the opposition of all the
court house officials to complying with
the terms OF the contract and their re-
tusal to order any blank books from
them, Mr. Anderson asked that the
contract be cancelled which was done.
He asked this not on the account of
past opposition and lack of patronage
in the past, but, because it is impossi-
BILE to furnish first class books as called
for under the contract, (at the prices
stated therein. The new firm seems
TO understand the situation and did
the right thing in having the old CON-
tract cancelled. After canoe ling the }
contract he received an order from the
county for more work than has been
received during the past wear and Ell
half while the contract has been in
force. We hope to see the boys re- !
ceive their share of the. county work
but we want 1T taken at a price that
will warrant the county the best
books obtainable, as the best are none
to good to contain the records that are l
to stand forever.
John III. Kate left for Wayne, Ne
braska, Monday morning where he
goes to open a clothing store, the same
as he has conducted here for the past
twenty years. Mrs. Kate and children
will follow in few days, as soon as
new home can be arranged for them.
John Kate was one of the pioneer bus !.
mess men of the town and through all
the years of his business career, he has
enjoyed liberal patronage and held
the reputation among his many Gus
toners for being honest, reliable and
fair in all his dealings. He leaves us
to go to a newer and broader field
where his many friends and customers
hope to see him prosper. He opens
with a new and clean stock of goods,
having just returded from Chicago
last Saturday, where he had been buy
ing an entire new stock of goods. Mrs.
Kate will be missed in the social cir,
cles where she has host of admiring
friends For years she has been one
OF our leading women, having spent
her girlhood days here and grown to
womanhood's estate. They will be
missed in the business and social cir
cles, but their many friends hope and
trust they may find the same pleasant
relations in their new home that they
have enjoyed here for the past twenty.

Many nice things have been published

bear in mind that she is young woman.

Unique in that leading character is

ed actress. Miss Holland has the role.
BROOKLYN.
BROOKLYN CITIZEN -
The story of "Fan FAM and his little
companion, Claude, is extremely pathet-
ic. Both characterizations were we'll
sustained. Miss Hollands portrayal of
"Fan Fam was particularly realistic,
and she was the recipient of special
favor from the large audience for her
clever interpretation.
BROOKLYN STANDARD UNION -
{ Mildred Holland, who takes tine part
Of ti,c son of George D'Armont, the mis-
guided husband, is the soul of the play.
As Fan FAM, she portrays a brave boy
with taGinest aonest IMPULSES, endeavoring to
help his sickly companion, ready even
to steal so that he can give him some
comfort. She does it well, and her
work meets the appreciation it deserves.

Man Found in That Condition
Near Montpelier.
John Mcnamara Died at Five
O'clock This Morning as
Result OF Being Run
Over by Train.
Especial to the TELEGRAM.)

Montpelier. Aug. 4.-The Capitol
City has scarcely recovered from the
shock of one horrible accident before it
is startled once more by the news of
another, when the public learned this
morning that John McNamara, a young
stonecutter of this city, had been run
over by the night train out of Barre,
both legs cut off just below the knee,
and that he died at the Heaton Hospital
at five O'Clock this morning.
1t was about midnight when Patrick
Carey was passing the Central Vermont
railway track near the creamery when
be heard voice family calling for as
sislance. He investigated, with the re-
suit that he first stumbled over an am
putated human leg, then he found, at a
snort distance from that spot, the owner
of the leg, and recognized him as his
friend, John Mcnamara. The latter ex-
planned the situation and told him that
both legs were gone. He was lying on
the embankment beside the railway
track and it will probably never be
known how he met his sad fate.
Carey saw at once that he could be of
10 assistance there so he set off post
haste for the police station. He found
no one there, but came across two men
on the street and they together secured
a team and telephoned to Drs. Chandler
and McGulre. The unfortunate man

About photographs.

''Iy first act upon hearing of Mrs

other, was to sit right down and write that

for some years to send me back all Of my
sisters photographs and mine. You see
Mrs. Blank left no immediate family; her
heirs, and all those who would have any
thing to do with her possessions were utter
strangers to us, and 1 didn't propose to have
our personal likenesses pass into any such
hands Why, there is no knowing where
those photographs might have turned up,
nor who might have got hold of them, and
me, l meant to have them. My sister and
l were very fond of Mrs. Blank, we had sent
her pictures about every time we had one
taken, but it wasn't a pleasant thought that
anything so intimately belonging to us
should become common property. Girls who

make no bones about having them returned
to you when the particular friend to whom
you gave them is no longer alive"
IT was an astute photographer who real

American Queen.
The difficulty of making a wise selec-
ton in an occupation is one that is felt by
almost every woman who must become a
bread-winner, and because of the severe
competition which prevails in the refined
woman's labor market the difficulty is daily
increasing.
Practical personal experience furnishes the
only reliable knowledge which can be de-
pended upon, and she who starts out to earn
her own way in life should ask herself: rs
there any form of occupation which feel
l can use to advantage with practice?" If
so, no matter what the direction, whether
it be housekeeping or cooking, she may rest
assured that this is her vocation

itself Tor consideration is whether this &C.

nature, in which the demand for the serv-
