The report given in last weeks MONITOR
of the W. G. T. .. meeting at Craftsbury
asserts that Judge Thompson in his re-
marks stated that when he came to the
Supreme Court bench the temperance
judges were in the minority, but that now
they are all temperance men. The judge
was misquoted and the statement is not in
accord with the facts, as until the recent
appointment Of Judge Watson there has
been no change in the court since Judge
Thompson came to the bench, and all of
the judges have been at all times and are
now in sympathy with the prohibition
law. The misstatement was an uninten-
tional error on the part of the writer of
the article and we wish to correct it in
Justice to the speaker and other members
of the Supreme Court, who are all doing
their part in upholding the prohibitory
law.
There has been a very large attendance
at the Christian Endeavor convention in
Detroit the past week. At the meeting
Wednesday the people were welcomed in
an address by Rev. c. B. Newman, after
which a message from President Mckinley
was read, followed by responses from En-
deavorers from foreign countries. At the
business meeting, it was found that the
past year has been one of remarkable pros
pefity for the society. The growth has
been large, one hundred thousand people
having been added to the ranks Of En-
deavorers. Their efforts in behalf OF uni
has received the heartiest approval OF many
of the leading men in Europe and Ameri-
ca, and has called forth on several occa-
sions kilograms and letters OF appreciation
and gratitude from the Peace commission
at the Hague
Some time ago Mr.. Webster, the post
master here, received a, letter from th
post office department at Washington, re-
garding the prices charged for rental Of
boxes in this village. Among other
things they stated that the rates here
are extremely low and out of proportion
with the rates at which box rents are col
Iected at other post offices doing the same
amountof business, and are a cause of
much dissatisfaction to Offices paying
box rent at double these rates. Mr.. Web
ing allowed to maintain the old standard
and for the time nothing was done about
it, but he has just received an order to ad-
vance the price on all boxes, commencing
with the first of this month. The price
will now be fifteen cents per quarter for
call boxes, twenty-five cents per quarter
for lock boxes, and thirty-five cents per
quarter for the large boxes. Although
this is slight advance over the old stand
ard we understand that it is not as high as
is being paid in many places the size of
this.
The ball team played the Lyndonviile
club at Lyndonville July 4th. G. B. Web
ster pitched the first two innings for Bar
ton and did well but was not properly
supported. Jenness pitched the last four
innings with phenomenal success, being
credited with eight strike outs and allow
ing the home team but one score. Orser
of Norwich University pitched a good
game for Lyndonville. At the end of the
fifth inning the score stood z to in favor
of Lyndonville. It had been arranged to
call the game at eleven o'clock. In the
first of the sixth inning the home team
was retired without score. It was now
near eleven; the Barton's had man on
first base, when the Lyndonville men,
without finishing the inning, declared
the game closed, according to Lyndon
vile Ibystander four minutes before the
time agreed upon. The game thus ended
very unsatisfactory, as is usually the case
when nine innings are not played.
Score by innings:
2
Lyndonville 2 0 O 1 o.
Barton 3 O O 2 Sc
