Concerning the Postmastership.

The contest for the postmastership
at Morrisville begins Saturday next.
There are many candidates, all good
men, but some better fitted than
others What is wanted is the man
best fitted for the place, one who is
intelligent, honest, pleasant, and
will always be on hand. The posi-
ton is responsible one and should
be filled by one in whom the public
interested have entire confidence. Of
some of the candidates a word Mr..
Lawrence is farmer and respect
able man, but has had but little
training that would fit him for such
place. He would have to learn the
business. Mr.. Robinson had in early
life some experience and is well fitted.
Mr.. Fisher is or has been a farmer,
a very likely man somewhat adj
vanced in years, has had no training
that would especially fit him for the
work, but would be obliging and do
the best he could. Mr.. Niles, also
very likely man, would do all he
could personally to satisfy the pub
lie. Mr.. Town is an active young
man and would run the office all right.
Mr.. Stone is no doubt eminently
qualified to fill the position. He has
had much training that would fit
him for the work. He is of the right
age, is very quiet, active, pleasant
and obGging young man, and the
public could rest assured that the
work would be well and promptly
done.
AS to the result there is no telling
or guessing. The candidates (somC
of them certainly are very active
As the successful candidate must re
ceive a majority of the votes of thu
business men and patrons (Republi
CAM of the office, it is quite apparen
there being so many candidates tina
a resort may have to be made to ;

lieved that Mr.. Stone will receive ;
majority of the business votes anC
that a majority of the votes of tn
patrons will not be received by eithe
candidate. The best man for tn
place ought to win.

The wires leading from the central
telephone office to a generator sta
toned in the foundry were strung
Monday. This is only one of the
many improvements the New Eng
land Company has made. This in
novation does not interest the pub
lie very much, but does those having
charge of the central station, as it
relieves the operator from ringing a
bell, by a crank movement, every
time a call is made-it is simply
pushing t he button now. The Nor
risville Foundry Co. has entered into
contract to furnish power to run
the generator ten hours day, which
covers the busiest season.
Rev. DR.. William A. Robinson of
Middletown, N. Y, was in this place
over Sunday, being the guest of his
nephew, E. S. Robinson. DR.. Robin
son is native of this town, a
son of the late Rev. Septimius Robin
son, for many years pastor of the
Cong'l church here. The doctor oc-
cupied the pulpit of the Cong'l church
Sund4 ~ morning, giving very able
discourse from Acts 9:6, Lord,
what wilt thou have me to ?"
The sermon was a clear and practi-
cal talk upon the duties of CHRISTIANS,
as well as others, urging them to do
with their might all of the duties that
come to them, great or small-to
take orders from the Lord" The
doctor is a very interesting speaker,
speaks extempore and holds the close
attention of his hearers. He preced-
ed his discourse by congratulating
the people upon their new house of
worship and alluded to the time
when he was boy among them. 1t
is nine years since he last visited this
place-the time of the centennial cele-
bration-and henotes many changes,
He was especially pleased with the
growth and Improvement of our
pretty village.
Lamoille Grange convened on
Thursday, Sept. %. Having no de-
gree work on hand the afternoon was
spent in business talk, music, reading
by Mrs. W. M. Small, recitation by
Miss Best and short discussion on
the following ques ions, nearly every
one present taking. an active part
"What can we do to help build up
the Granger" DO we as an organi-
zation for doing good, do what we
might or ought towards the proven
ton of cruelty to animals?" is it
profitable to keep poultry " Who
brought Methodism to New York
city ?"; docs it pay to feed meal to
COWS in summer" and other ques-
tions pertaining to Grange work.
Good receipts were also given the
ladies. The next regular meeting
will be held on the second Thursday
in October. Several candidates are
to be there to take degrees and an in
teresting program will also be given.
The hurrying season will be over and
it is hoped and desired that the whole
Grange force will be in attendance as
it needs the help Of all to arrange for
future meetings in satisfactory
manner. Commences promptly at
half-past one.

Various Accidents

Last Monday afternoon A. II.
Keeler's horse tried to get up run
away, but after smashing off the
crossbar he threw one of his legs
over the thills and had to give up,
thus averting more serious demon
alization of vehicle and perhaps
| driver.
Walter Bedell, at work for Currier,
carried some euple up to Leo Gates
Friday evening. 1t was very dark
and on the return he borrowed lam
tern which he tied on the rear axle.
When part way back he stopped to
fix the lantern and the horses got
away from bin, running all the way
home. In attempting to turn in be-
tween Sawyer's and the hotel, they
collided with an electric light pole,
smashing the wagon pole and the
whiffietrees, as we'll as doing up the
harness to a considerable extent.
Otherwise the wagon and horses were
uniDjured.
G. S. Sanders of johnson, is build
ing house and stopped here ypsUer-
day with a load of hardwood floor
ing, leaving the load and borrowing
another wagon of F. E. Sawyer to go
over to Morrisville and get some
more lumber. returning he backed
the wagon under Sawyer's shed and
while unhitching the horse became
frightened and started op a run
breaking the shafts but taking the
forward wheels along. Sanders b, Id
on quite while but finally concluded
it was safer to let the horse go. She
left wi e lis on Main street and ran
down to the depot where she stopped
of her own accord. Besides breaking
the thills and damaging the harness
somewhat no other injury resulted.
Those who saw her go through the
street say she made remarkably
rapid time.
Louis AIchambault, employed in
Holmes Wheewright shop in John
SOD, came up to this village Saturday
night on mis- wheel, and misfol tune
seemed to lie in his path. 1t was
somewhat duskv when he arrived,
and while riding at pretty fast clip
through the street be suddenly met
an obstruction, near the Methodist
parsonage, in the shape of Minors
milk team. 1t was a head end col
lision, the rider making a direct
plunge for the horses shoulders.
Both horse and bicyclist were unin-
jured, but the bicycle was in a sadly
d,lapidated condition. But this
was not all of it. George Brill hap
pened along and kindly allowed Ar
chambault the use of his wheel with
which to return home. Unfortunate
ly, however. the elbow found an OPP
portunity to ride home on four
wheels and left BriIl's bicycle at the
livery stable for sale keeping.
Shortly afterwards one of Curriers'
horses became uneasy and took a
walk in the vicinity of said bicycle
and after several vain attempts to
ride the thing, departed, leaving the
rear wheel in ruins and otherwise do
ing it considerat l. damage. AS nei-
Their wheel was Archambault's own
proper ty the trip would seem to be
somewhat expensive for the young
man.

WEEKS ENGAGEMENT,

Whoever has not seen Jere MoAuliffs
in "Tho Mnn.o-War's Man" billed for

missed strong combination. He has also
missed n war drama that makes every
pulse beat faster in these times of materi-.
al ardor. Act Is laid in the room of the
new Army aud Navy Club. New York
City. Act2 shifts to the headquarters Of
Uncle Sam in Honolulu. Acts produces
four scenes, all strong; Office of the Rus
sian Minister Of Police; corridor of tho
fortress Of Sebastopol, Conway's cell in
the fortress and the war council In Couta.
Act gives two scenes; ono on board the
United States ship New Orleans, the other
a soa fight between the United States and
Spain, off Fort Corinth. The very gods of
war must have designed this effect. Its
tremendously terrible. Mr.. MoAuliffe
plays Ensign Harry Hanley, part that
gives his gift Of eccentric comedy full
swing. He Is sustained by Miss Hamil-
ton. who rs I'm interpreted of emotional
parts has no peer and by powerful cast
throughout. The Shea -McAuiffs Stock
Co plays to popular prices.

THE PANUNG OF SIAM,
Description of This Dress That Is
Universally Worn,

DcscriPtlOh OF Ih1s Dress That Is
Universally Worn.
At khlong Fakien we took on board a
man and his wife. The former wore a
blue panung, with u scarf around his neck,
and the latter carried naked baby, whose
face was daubed all ovor with some sort
OF yellow ocher. Then, crossing the river
Tor some Cinnamon, we passed sampan,
or boat, being chowed by two women
wearing nothing but panungs, while in
the bottom, on some split bamboo, Law q
child-just like all Siamese children-in
state of utter nudity.
l may mention that panung is the
universal form of dress worn by both sexes
in all stations in life 1t may be of any
material from the commonest cotton to
the richest silk, says The Gentleman's
Magazine. 1t consists of long strp wide
enough to reach from the waist to about
the knees. The middle Of tho cloth is
placed at tho back of the body, and by
means OF a special hitch is fastened in
front. Two long ends are then folded
carefully together, passed between the legs
and tucked into the belt ut the region of
the small of tho back. l use tho word
belt to simplify the explanation, for, al.
though some are used, and even pieces of
rope, 1t is by no means general, and do
not remember ever having seen one used
by woman, so that the way they keep
this garment in place, even when actively
engaged, is positively astonishing.
The men-I am speaking of the poorer
classes--often have no other garment,
though many of them wear undershirts or
jackets Grown up girls and young wom-
en- always have bright colored cloth
about six inches wide that is passed under
the arms and either tied tightly in front
over the Breasts to the utter ruination of
their figures, or, which is far more grace
full, passing under them, the ends crossing
over the opposite shoulder and tied at the
back. Those, however, who are in con-
slant intercourse with Europeans adopt
the bodice, while the older women, espe-
cially in the country, 60 innocontly about
i'll only panung. Missionaries, as usual,
try to dress the natives. But it is open to
serious doubt whether the result is attend /
ed with any benefit, as there is certainly
nothing in their method of dressing in any
way incompatible with the highest form
Of religion.
