A Clergyman's Experience

NJ. D. JUMP, d. D., Saratoga
Springs, writes: "It affords me great
pleasure to testify to the value of
Henry & Johnson's Arnica and Oil
Liniment, which / used with the most
satisfactory results. Not long since,
as the result of cold and excessive
use of the organs of the throat, ]
suffered greatly from Inflammation
and induration of the tonsils. After
trying several remedies l bethought
me of your liniment, and by a single
application over night the trouble was
entirely removed and was able to go
on with my work"

Daughters of the Revolution.

The members of Marquis de LAFAYETTE
chapter, Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, celebrated Wednesday evening at
the home of Mrs. A. o. Cummins, the one
hundred and tenth anniversary OF the in
auguration OF George Washington as first
president OF the United States The mem.
beers OF the chapter, with invited guests
hlied Mrs Cummins' spacious parlors, and
the exercises throughout were OF grea.
interest.
Mrs. F. A. Adams, Regent, presided.
The exercises were opened with singing
The Star-Spangled Banner" by Miss Alice
Folsom. Rev. A. N. Lewis read very
interesting paper descriptive of the cere-
monies at the first Inauguration, gi wing also
several personal anecdotes OF Washington,
never published Mr.. Lewis also sang two
songs that were much appreciated. Mr..
Heath OF the Seminary gave recitation,
and Mrs. Cummins gave report of the
Continental Congress, Daughters of the
Revolution, held last February in Wash
ington, to which she was a delegate from
Nj 4iquis de lafayette chapter. This ex-
celIent and graphic story as given by Mrs.
Cummins, threw light upon some of the
proceedings that escaped the eye of the
reporters for the Washington papers. After
another song by Miss Folsom and the sing
ing OF America" by the company, refresh
ments OF ice cream, waters, cake and lem
onade were served. The management of
the electric railway kindly held the last car
for down town until the party was ready to
return.

cations aud estimates for such building at
once. The committee met Thursday after
noon at the Union school building to look
over the ground as the additional building
will be erected there II 1t is finally decided
to build. Some idea OF the needs of such
building becomes evident when IL is known
that 124 scholars are now crowded into the
two departments OF grade one at the Union
school building. This condition makes it
impossible for the teachers to do Justice
either to themselves or the scholars.
Harry Irwin was arrested by Officer De.
meritt thursday evening on the charge of

developed that Harry had received some

he filled the flowing bowl for all OF the
tenants who responded to his invitation.
In the meantime, MS. Irwin decided IL

reaching the manor and making her errand
known to Harry, he became violent, shook

The fire wardens have just purchased of
A. d. Wheeler, agent for the Gamewell Fire
Alarm and Telegraph Company Of Boston,
twelve fire alarm boxes and the necessary
supplies for installing them. Instead Of
using the present system OF gravity batteries
they will he substituted by generator
which will furnish current to operate the
entire fire alarm system OF the city. This
generator will be located at the Consoli-
dated Lighting Company's plant at the
Pioneer. 1t is calculated that this change
will make saving for the city OF $3.50 a
year as the price Of vitriol, which is used in
the gravity batteries, being a copper pro-
duct, has advanced in price about eighty
percent. Placing the generator at the cleo
trio light station will be marked improve
ment for the better over the old system and
will put the whole system under tn 3 per-
sonal supervision, night and day, of ex-
perienced electricians This system is en-
ployed with great success in other cities,
even where it has not the constant super
vision this will have.

A Delightful Affair.

The May party, given Thursday evening
in Elmore's hall by Misses Jennie Phinney
Alice Taft, Olive Stout, Mary Tromblee,
Mary Jacobs and Lucy Jacobs, to the mem
beers of the Thomas club was a recherche
and delightful affair. The decorations OF
the hall were in charge Of Miss Stout and
showed excellent taste. On the stage in
front of the orchestra were arranged palms
and red and white potted geraniums. I'm
der each mirror we're baskets of arbutus
and Reraniums, while loops and wreaths of
red roses decorated the chandeliers, mir.
rors and pictures.
Pinks were provided for each gentlemen
and lady and on those given the former
was found the name Of his partner for the
grand march,
Mrs. G. E. Chandler, Mrs. G. B. Walton,
Mrs. e. f. Lowe and Mrs Robert Wilkn-
son acted as ushers, and Mrs. Pearl Blodg-
gett, Mrs. II. j. M. Jones, Mrs. W. G. Berry
and Mrs. s. A. Moss gracefully performedthe
duty OF floor managers and committee OF
introduction.
The Montpelier orchestra of five pieces
furnished music: The grand march at eight
III: Smile. The dainty dance orders con
tanned fifteen numbers and the dancing
lasted from eight to half-past twelve.
On the refreshment table in one corner of
the hall was huge punch bowl, with fancy
cakes and CONNECTIONS from Webber's, Bos-
ton.
In the card room, adjoining, drive whist
was enjoyed by those who did not care to
dance. The prize for ladies, an enameled
collar clasp, was won by Miss Gertrude
Drew, and the gentlemen's prize, a silver
match box, by Robert Wilkinson

Water for Cities or villages.

montpelier has undoubtedly made mis-
taxes in the management of municpal af-
ta!rs, Dut the town adopted the right policy
when 1t undertook itself to supply its peo.
pie with water for domestic and public pur-
poses ana refused later to sell TO private
persons: The facts Of the success of the
montpelier water works, under the efficient
management OF superintendent Foster, are
700 well known to need repetition here
Inc iigures OF this last annual report are
sui fresh in the minds OF most readers.
buG tne experience OF some other munich
Psnues with private or corporate owner

well as reassuring.

ownership, but has recently instituted pro-
ceeulngs 10 condemn" the private prop
erty ana take 1t under the municipal wing.
There has been much contention over the
price to be allowed the owners OF the pri.
vate acqueduct that affords the city's main
supply. Experts have been called in and
the matter has been the subject of much de-
bate and very wide diversity in Judgment.
Mr. Foster OF Montpelier estimates the prop
erty OF the private company at 1929 200;
Orandali OF Burlington, ct $128 900; Walker
OF Manchester, N. H., at Sf35 600; a Boston
expert, at $4,000. II the city and the pro-
prietors do not agree the question of the

tons, but the city is more likely to accept
the terms offered than to incur the risk OF
going further and faring worse.
The city OF WATERFOWL, Mass, presents
another instance of an expensive error In
policy in this matter. Some years ago the
city was considering plans for water sup
ply. An estimate OF $4,000 was submitted
as the cost OF the plant at the beginning
as 100000 was for that OF Mon tpeiier. The
city regarded the enterprise too costly and
made over the franchise TO private corpora
ton, reserving the privilege OF buying the
works in 1900. A company was formed
which issued $4,000 in bonds, and $50,
600 In stock. In thirteen years the CITY has
paid S9l 900 for water for public uses. anf
has nothing to exhibit for this great out 90
IL now proposes to avail itself OF the priv
ilege OF purchase in 1900. The corporation ),
price was $4,000. Negotiations have re-
suited in an agreement to turn the propert,
over to the city for $500, 600, and twenty-on,
