Fat rlen and Lean rIen.

The great event of the season in
the line of sports will occur at the
campus next Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock. The corpulent fraternity of the
town, in which are represented some of
our most distinguished citizens will at
tempt to demonstrate their ability to
handle base ball and run bases with
the none less distinguished neighbors
who are conspicuous among other rea-
sons for their lack OF rotundity.
The objects of the game are not simply
to demonstrate skill but to exhibit the
individuals of the teams in base ball cos
tune and tor general purposes of fun.
Then the proceeds are to go to a worthy
charity, Sunset Home.
The comparison between the fat and
the lean teams is suggested by the figures
1000 and 1861; the former represents
the number of pounds in the fat team,
the latter the number Of pounds
weight which will be brought upon the
campus by their opponents.
II you want TO add to your days the
years that spring from hearty laugh, il
you want to forget your cares and
troubles and see what difference there
is in men on the ball ground in appear
ance and accomplishments, be sure and

Church Officials Received.

Rev. G. w. Hunt and family gave a
reception at the parsonage on Central
street Tuesday evening to the official
members of Grace Methodist church,
with their wives, together with the
church choir. The evening was spent
socially with music from the quartette,
solos by members of the quartette and a
piano duet by the Misses Hunt. Words
of greeting and encouragement were
spoken by the pastor and members of
the official board and after light refresh
ments were served the company went
home feeling that they not only had
spent an enjoyable evening but that, as
officials of the church they had been per.
mitted to come into a closer acquaint-
ance with the pastor and family, and
that as co-workers with him they would,
because of this closer acquaintance, be
better able to work unitedly not only for
the interest OF Grace Methodist church
but for the cause OF righteousness in the
community.

Death of rlr. Savage.

Further particulars have been received
concerning the death of Rev. c. A. Saw
age Of Orange, N. J., whose death was
chronicled last week. For several
months he had been a continual sufferer
from acute nervous indigestion and
within week before he died his disease
assumed serious nature and ultimately
caused his death. OF his work in Orange
the Journal Of that city speaks appreci-
atively as follows:
"Mr. Savage was the fourth pastor of
the Valley church since it's organization
in 1860, succeeding the Rev. Dr. ]. E.
Rankin, who resigned to become presi.
dent of Howard University, Washing
ton. His pastorate has been remarka-
bly, successful. The benevolences of the
church have been large, while the spirit
ual growth has also been marked. Dur
ing Mr.. Savage's nine years as pastor
there have been 119 added to the church
membership which now numbers 293.
while a resident of California, Mr..
Savage married Miss Mary F. Fiske,
daughter of the Rev. DR.. D. T. Fiske of
Newburyport, Mass, who survives him
with two children, son and daughter,
the former aged 16 and the latter 10
years.
"Mr. Savage was 9 member of the New
England Society, the Pastors Club of
Newark, the Congregational Club OF New
York, one of the advisory board of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
and a director of the Orange Valley So
cial Settlement. His interest in all mat.
ters tending tor the improvement of the
community was great. In the Congre-
gational church he had been moderator
of the association to which his church
belonged and had taken an active part
in the work OF the organization. Hewas
also actively interested in the work o
the Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor having been the first president
Of the Orange Union and after declining
reelection he had been friendly coun-
selor and adviser regarding it's affairs.
Personally Mr.. Savage was the most
genial of men, and his industry in church
work was remarkable. Notwithstand-
ing the condition of his health he worked
indefatigably in every department of the
church's activities and his loss will be
| felt in the community"

The St. JOhnsbury Band.

Cost of the Viaduct.

An expert estimate of the expense to be
involved in the construction Of the pro-
posed Summerville viaduct has been call
ed for from several quarters.
Frank 0. Sinclare of the Pittsburg
Bridge company was in town last week
Wednesday and Thursday and reports
the results of the calculation of expense
as figured by his firm. The figures given
represent the amounts respectively for
which the Pittsburg Bridge Company
will contract to construct an iron bridge
as specified.
The bridge proposed would run prac-
tically straight from Railroad street to
point on Portland street little west of
Farnham and Albee's store. 1t would
be 80 feet wide with drive way and
8-foot sidewalk on one side and three
iron railings-one on each side and one
between the walk and driveway. Near
the base of the grade at either terminal
wall of masonry would be constructed
and the remaining space at the ends
filled. An iron spur would run from the
bridge to st. Mary street at grade not
greater than at present from the Pas
sumpsic division railroad crossing to
Railroad street. The bridge would be
guaranteed to hold a load OF 20 tons at
any point.
If the present abutments of the Pas
sumpsic river bridge were used and Mr..
Sinclare thinks they are fully adequate
to the purpose the total cost would be
$27 500. II the old abutments were not
used, but instead piles were driven and
new abutments erected the cost would be
$500 The expense would be reduced
$4,000 by omitting the speer at St.
Mary's street.
These figures are not large when the
value, safety and convenience of the
bridge are taken into consideration.
The simple fact that the great dangers
of two blind railroad crossings over
which trains, teams and pedestrians are
constantly crossing would be avoided is
argument enough on the desirability of
such bridge.
A petition has been sent into the Sc
lectmen for special town meeting to see
what action the town is willing to take
in regard to the matter.

in richness of melody and dramatic ex-
preston and the chorus did superb work.
The audience were enthusiastic over the
work of the chorus and they received an
encore after their second appearance in
the opera. The climax Of the opera was
well worked up and very effective and it
will be many year before st. Johns
bury's music loving people hear their
singers do better work
A reception was rendered to the artists,
members OF the chorus and invited friends
at the st. Johnsbury House at the close
of the concert Thursday evening. Ice
cream and cake were served.
While the festival was not a financial
success we regard it as an education to
hear such music and an inspiration as
well. The members of the Choral Union
and all the participants in the festival
have the satisfaction of knowing that
they have given the people of this town
the highest and best class of music they
have ever heard.

War of determination.

The village authorities are conducting
a very vigorous campaign against the
caterpilars which are infesting the trees.
The old "Deluge" hand pump fire engine
has been brought into service, recalling
the days a quarter Of century ago,
when Col. Franklin Fairbanks, from the
top of the engine, counted time and di-
rected the men who operated the pump
and handled the hose at fires. A solu-
ton Of Paris green and other ingredients
calculated to produce dire effect as arti-
cles of caterpillar diet is being used to
spray the trees. The pests are still to be
seen in great numbers, but are not likely
to thrive long under such treatment.
