puhy III their great bereavement"

SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT.

to a BOY and Was Taken to Rutland
Wednesday 10 Serve 525 Days.
The place of residence of Thomas Man
ming, Familiarity called"Squire," was chang
ed from Elliot street, Brattleboro. to the
house of correction, Rutland, Wednesday.
through the influence of the Vermont pro
hbitory law. Manning, as appeared from
his testimony before Judge W. 5 Newton.
had been for some time one of the satel-
lites of the brewery-that is, one of the
numerous "pocket pedders," so called,
who have long been a curse TO Brattleboro.
On Saturday of last week his discretion
overstepped its bound and he furnished
whiskey TO youth less than 20 wears oil
in such quantities that the lad became
drunk. Chief-of Police Hall found the boy
on Main street late Saturday night. AL
though he was old enough to have known
better than to have gotten into such a
plight Chief-of-POlice Hall did not arrest
him but secured some one to take him
home. Pressure was brought to bear upon
the boy so that he disclosed that he got his
liquor of man called esquire" States
Attorney Barber had other evidence against
Manning, so he issued warrant for his ar
rest.
Nulei-oi-I ollce Aall arrested Manning at
the Estey Organ works Tuesday morning.
Manning was arraigned before Judge New
ton and charged with furnishing liquor con-
trary to the statutes. Manning pleaded
guilty to two first offences, and was fined
for each offence $50 and costs, amounting
TO SIP, and at the request of States At
toruey Barber he was sentenced to Is DAYS
in the house of correction. He was then
arragned on the charge of keeping with
the intent to sell, TO which he pleaded
guilty, and was fined $50 and costs.
amounting to S5S.
Manning was given "a hours in which TO
raise funds for the payment of his fines,
but being unable to do 50 he was taken to
Rutland by Deputy Sheriff F. W. Mcclure
wednesday afternoon TO serve three times
as many days as there were dollars in his
fines in addition to the sentence of Is DAVIS.
His term of imprisonment will be 525 days.
but by good behavior he may shorten the
term about three months.
Manning testified that this was not his
first offence. He said he had sold MANY
bottles of whiskey in Brattleboro which
he had brought over from the brewery.
He has wife and four children whom il il
expected the town will have to support
during his imprisonment, but it were better
for the town to do this than to allow him
to continue to deal out whiskey 10 the
young boys of the town.
IL has not been customary in Brattleb ,ro
to sentence person to Imprisonment for a
hrst offence, but that matter is discretion-
airy with the trial justice, and the
states attorney believed that this was
case that demanded severe dealing.

Town Charges Departed,

The overseer of the poor of Brattleboro
notified the overseer of the poor of Putney
last week that there was a family for him
to take care of in Brattleboro. The Put.
ney overseer came TO Brattleboro and after
making an investigation decided that he
would have nothing to do with the family.
The Brattleboro overseer also decided that
he would make no provision for the peo-
pie so they were turned out door for failure
to pay their rent. DR.. Lynch found them
wandering about the street Saturday night
and he took them into his office. They
were taken to Mrs. BushnelPs later by
Chiefo f-Police Hall. The two overseers
had another consultation Monday morn
ing. During the forenoon a Pole named
John Sylvester, who was mentioned last
week In connection with the forgery case
in Putney, appeared at Mrs. Bushnelps
and stated that he had secured place for
the woman in Bellows Falls. The over
seers decided that they would not hinder
their departure, so the woman and her two
children and the Pole left on the 11:lO
train north. The husband appeared in
the afternoon and found that his family
had left so he started north on the 5:45
train. The husband, whose name is Henry
jeffrey, said that he had a mother living
near Bellows Falls.

MADE AN IMPRESSION.
The "smart Aleck" Candidate Spells
His Chances by Being Too
Foremost.

'Do you happen to know why the rural
vote went back on him when he ran for
congress-" asked one leading Michigan poll
tician of another.
Never gave the matter any study"
Nor did |. just happened to learn few
facts. He went to a big meeting of horti-
culturists several years ago; long before
he thought of running for office. You know
what smart 'Aleck' he is. After what was
really a thoughtful and well considered dis
cussion, he obtained permission to ask some
questions, and started off with this one:
"Where do literary laurels grow? There
was laugh, and the thing would have
been remembered as joke had he not per-
sisted.
"Who cultvates the flowers of rhetoric?
was his next conundrum, and then he want
ed to know if the buds of genius could be
forced and if they could survive hard
winter.
"'Mister Chairman shouted little weaz-
ened man in the back of the hall, 4 would
move you, sir, that we ap'int committee
of three to report on the feaserbility of
raisin' pun kins in large cities and fur to
ascertain if the germs of true will kin be

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
Successful Enterprise based on Merit
The Importance OF Informing the
Public of the value of an Article
Through the Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained to
worldwide fame, as truly beneficial in
effect and giving satisfaction to millions Of
people everywhere, are the products of
the knowledge OF the most eminent ply
sicians, and presented in the form most
acceptable to the human system by the
skill Of the worlds great chemists; and one
of the most successful examples is the
Syrup Of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
limitations and cheap substitutes. Syrup Of
Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be-
ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times il a remedy gave temporary relief to
individuals here and there, it was thought
good; but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. II you have
never used Syrup of Figs, give it trial,
and you will be pleased with it, and will
recommend it to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, or from over-feed-
ing, or from colds, headaches, biliousness,
or other ills resulting from an inactive con-
dition of the kidney, liver and bowels.
In the process of manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co., and named Syrup Of
Figs, figs are used, as they are pleasant to
the taste; but the medicinal properties of
the remedy are obtained from an excellent
combination of plants known to be medi.
cinally laxative and to act most benefcially.
As the true and original remedy, named
Syrup Of Figs, is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only, knowledge OF
that fact will assist in avoiding the worth
less limitations manufactured by other
parties. The Company has selected for
years past the leading publications of the
United States through which to inform the
public of the merits of its remedy, and
among them this paper is included, as will
be seen by reference to its advertising col.

to bring out in bold relief the external
beauties of the building.
The interior arrangements have re-
ceived particular attention from the
provincial who is to have charge CT the
college; and. inasmuch as he has spent
his long lifetime in schools and coll
leges, he has, with the aid of skillful
| architect, prepared what seems 10 be
practically perfect college. All of the
sanitary features have received great
consideration so that there will be
plenty of light, heat, ventilation and
perfect plumbing throughout TIE en-
tire structure. The provincial. Very
Rev. Dr. Zahm, says that it is his
prime purpose in this institution to
equip men for educational work
throughout the world. He does not
expect many eloquent priests to go
through his curriculum. The eloquent
priests will go forth with their univer-
sity educations, and at once become
pulpit powers. But in the Holy Cross
college DR.. Zahm expects to educate
men primarily for the profession of
teaching so that he will turn out coll
lege professors, and presidents, and au-
thors. He says that 1.-The education of
the priests should be the highest edu-
cation of man."
INDECENT young men will have oppor-
tunities here such as have never been
| offered before. They win be given
rooms, board, washing and necessary
clothing, as well as access to all of the
books of a library which is to be thor
oughly equipped. The church through
out the entire republic will be given
opportunity to contribute to the sup
| port of these young priests, and there
is no doubt that they will be well sup
ported. SMITH d. FRY.
