The rlusical Festival.

The fourth annual festival OF the St.
Johnsbury Choral Union willappeal more
strongly to the popular taste than any
which have preceded it. 1t will not by
any means be lacking in highest artist
ic merit, but in place of the oratorios OF
former seasons, music of lighter char
acter will be presented. 1t will be bright
and catchy in many parts, yet combin-
ing classical gems which will bring out
the finest touches of the musicians art.
The festival occurs in Music Hall, May
Is to 10, and will be under the direction
of Prof. H. G. Blaisdell. The special
artists are well-known in this vicinity
and their names alone are sufficient
guaranty that the festival will be of the
very highest order. The list includes
Miss Marcia S. Craft of Boston, soprano
E. c. Towne of New York, tenor; and DR..
Carl E. Duff of New York, basso.
The music will include "Hymn of
IIdiSC \LooSSSoopSJ Uy "ShuSioSohh,
presented for the first time in the state
Flight into Egypt" from childhood
of Christ" by Berlioz; Feast of Adonis" "
by Jensen; glees and part songs. The
special feature of the festival will be the
opera Lucia di Lammermoor," by
Donizette, tor the first time in America
given in concert form. Another inter
estiug feature will be singing by 800
children from the public schools, Thurs
day afternoon, May 1s, under the d.
rection of Prof. Pickells, organist OF St.
Andrews church.
One thing to be especially emphasized
in regard to the festival is the fact that
singers from far and near are all most
cordially invited and urged to join the
chorus and take part in the festival.
Any desired information in regard to
entertainment during festival week may
be obtained from c. H. Horton, secre-
tary, St. Johnsbury.

tea and entertained the members very
pleasantly, making the meeting one to

The entertainment by Senior Cato
last week Tuesday evening was not
largely attended, owing no doubt to the
fact that about months entertain
ments were crowded together into a
single week. Senior Cato is native
Cuban and his lecture, illustrated with
stereopticon views, contained much o
interest and instruction in regard tc
Cuba and the Spanish.American war
The piano recital at the opening Of th'
programme was delightful entertain
ment of itself and Senor Gato's rar'
ability as pianist was fully demon
strated, especially in his rendering o
some of the most difficult selections from
classical music. A series of humorous
moving pictures" was given at th'
close Of the evenings programme.

Grinstead returned to Troy and report
ed what Aries had said, but Stuart said
he could not afford to pay him any
more unless he should be elected. Grin
stead said Stuart had afterwards told
him that he had been compelled to do
more for Aries.
A proof of an article against Stuart
was offered as evidence and GrinStead
was asked to tell what he knew about
it. He said Stuart told him he had re-
ceived such a proof from Bert Howard
editor of the Horton Headlight, with
the threat that unless 800 should be
paid Howard the article would be pub
lished. Stuart told Grinstead that it
would break him up to fix all the Re
publican papers in the district, and he
afterwards said he had fixed Howard
without paying him any money by tell
ing him that he would send him to the
penitentiary for blackmail if he did not
support him.
A copy of the Brown County World,
dated soon after Stuart's nomination,
in which was an article bitterly de-
nouncing the method by which stuart
got his nomination, was also intro
duced, and Grinstead testified that
Stuart had told him it would be neces-
sary to give Ewing Herbert, editor of
the World and postmaster at Hiawatha,
at least 800 to get his support. Stuart
never said that he paid Herbert any
thing, but in few weeks Herbert came
out in support of Stuart.
On cross-examination Captain Waters
asked:
Did you accept the proposition of Mr..
Leland to give your support to Mr..
7 did not, because they had not kept
faith with me and was afraid to trust
Them
what was to have been the total
consideration for your support of Mr..
Stuart?"
Part of the county printing and that
$40"
You accepted the $4O?'
was that for your personal vote?'
NO"
1T was merely for the support of
your paper then?'
when you went over to Falcon did
you pay the $40 back to Stuart?"
Mo-
why not?"
Because Stuart and Leland had al
ready received more than that much
value from me-
John Calvert, a lame man who runs
a shoe shop at Troy, testified that he
was opposing Stuart after his nominal
ton and that Stuart came to him one
day and wanted to know what was the
reason for his opposition. Calvert re-
piled that it was on account of some
trouble they had had. Stuart asked his
forgiveness and promised to help him
get job as guard of the state house
in consideration of his vote, to which
Calvert agreed.
VIM. Baldwin, of Troy testified that
he supported Stuart in consideration of
Stuart'S promise to appoint him bailiff
of his court
N. F. Leslie, postmaster at Robinson
in answer to the question whether he
had seen any liquor or tobacco used by
Stuart's friends to influence men to vote
for Stuart, testified that he had seen no
liquor used, but that he had seen cigars
passed around as Stuart cigars.
After this testimony the senate adj
journed until today.

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.
Furnished by the Associated Press to

Chicago, March %.
WHEAT-Heavy selling by foreigners
today, unresponsive cables and a general
denial of the recent crop damage asser-
tons caused a downward tendency to the
Iheat market May opepee@fdi c ioweT at
Currents weekly statement announced
that the winter wheat prospects were
practically unchanged. and reports from
country correspondents claimed that the
injury had not been anywhere near as seri-
Gus as had been anticipated. Chicago re-
ceived 80 cars, of which only graded con-
tract. Minneapolis and Duluth got 426
cars, as compared with 324 for the CORE
spending day year ago. There was a
which characterized the trading yester-
day, and the session progressed the
market became dull, with May hesitating
CORN-Liquidatio by yesterdays buy

corn. Receipts were light II cars, but
the weather was favorable for an increaS-
ed movement from now on. May opened
7sc lower al 3634d3sc and declined to 35c.
grains brought out a good deal of long
holdings in oats and the market ruled
heavy at sharp decline in prices. Re
ceipts were SO cars. May began a shade
lower at 2612@3sc and sold off to 261s@14c.
PROVISIONS-There was a slight dip

Grain Letter.

Chicago, March @.
WHEAT-Wheat closes weak near bot
tom. English cables didn't show much
life, but continental markets were firm.
Antwerp was a good buyer again today.
Crop reports were as contradictory ever
but the country bought considerable
wheat. Cash wheat in all positions held
remarkably strong. Demand from mills
is general and increasing cash premium.
There was a good export business doing
and prospects favorable for a continuance.
Argentine shipments are expected to be
heavy. and this fea ture was borne in mind
by timid holders. The market at this de-
cline is good purchase the legitimate
cash position
CORN-Corn has been easy all day.
Country. offerings still very light and a
fair business doing for export most every
day Corn is purchase on all soft spots.
OATS-OatS sympathized with other
grains. The New England demand shows
Improvement, but the business is in scat
tered car lots. The market was infiu-
enced by the prediction of fair and warmer
weather everywhere: Professionals led
the selling. A considerable export BUSH
ness was just on edge and likely to be
closed.
OYISIONS-Provisions have been par
ucularly steady. mainly because of i'm
proved export demand for lard. Prices
are up slightly all around. The Chicago
Packing company bought $1,000 tierces of
lard and the Continental sold about as
much. Swift was a buyer. Shorts have
been doing some covering on the firmness.
