Musical Event of the Season.

1t gives us pleasure to be able to an
nounce through our columns that the
Dartmouth College Glee, Mandolin and
Guitar Clubs, under the management of
James P. Richardson of this place, will
give concert in Music Hall on the eve
ming OF Monday, February 13.
During the last five years, Dartmouth,
under the able administration OF Presi
dent William ]. Tucker, has been the sub
ject of a phenominal growth, and today
she stands "Iacile princeps" among the
socalled smaller colleges.
In her musical organization she has
kept pace with her advance in other lines,
and this year she presents to the public
the best glee club which has ever repre-.
sented the coll, ge. The concert will give
the people o: st. .Iohnsbury an opp"r-
tunity to see that college men are some
thing more than mere athletes or even
students, besides affordng them a rare
musical treat, Let us turn out and hear
old Dartmouth's "Wah-hoo- wah."
Press notices from New Hampshire city
papers sufficiently attest the excellence OF
their performances.

1t May Be Judge Dunnett.

Gov. Smith will appoint a supreme
court judge today to fill the vacancy on
the bench caused by the resignation of
Hon. Jonathan Ross, and the many
friends of Alexander Dunnett are hoping
that he will receive the appointment.
AS soon as St. Johnsbury was deprived
of a judge it became necessary tor geo.
graphical reasons that another Judge
should be selected from this section and
the St. Johusbury lawyers united
on Alexander Dunnett and sent to
Gov. Smith Monday, the following
petition:-
ITO his Excellencv the Governor of the
State OF Vermont.
We the undersigned recognizing the
ability and eminent qualifications of
Alexander Dunnett, Esq, of St. Johns
bury, Tor position on the supreme
court bench oil the state of Vermont, do
hereby respectfully ask that he be ap.
pointed to 6ll any vacancy thereon oc-
cassioned by the resignation OF Hon.
Jonathan Ross"
This petition was signed by every
practicing attorney in Caledonia, Orleans
and Essex counties and some from Or
ange County, and Mr.. Dunnett will have
the strongest backing from the legal tra-
turnlty of any candidate. 1t is here be.
lieved that his leading opponent is Joel c
Baker of Rutland, though George w.
Wing of Montpelier, and J. H. Watson Of
Bradford, are in the field.

The Post Office Contest Ended.

The post office contest, which has
really been on he boards since McKiney's
election nearly two years ago, was
brought to sudden and unexpected end
last Thursday by the withdrawal OF the
leading candidate, w. w. Sprague. in
favor of his contestant, Hon. l.. d.
Hazen.
AS was announced last week the new
canvass for names ended on Jan. Z and
as result OF the very complete canvass
of all patrons of the Office, irrespective
of party, l.. d. Hazen had $50 names on
his petition, while Mr.. Sprague's petition
contained 715 names. Congressman
Grout had two days hearing at the
st. .Johnsbury House and during the
hearing all democrats and la lies who are
not taxpayers were stricken off the pc
titions. This shrunk Mr. Hazen's petit
ton to 402 republican patrons OF the
office, while Mr. Sprague's petition was
reduced to 437 republican names. At
the conclusion OF this protracted hearing
the news came to st. Tohnsbury of the
appointment of Judge Ross to the United
States senate. This put a different as.
pect on the case, as the senators have
always had the right accorded them of
naming the postmaster il their own
town. AS Judge Ross had supported Mr..
Hazen and signed his petition the APP
poinlment of the next postmaster was
virtually in his hands. Mr.. Sprague
went at once to MIR. Hazen's house, an.
nounced that he had withdrawn from
the contest, and heartily congi atulated
MIR. Hazen on the prospect OF his APP
pointment. BY this graceful act on Mr..
Sprague's part the contest was immedi.
ately ended, and what might have been a
prolonged and possibly bitter contest
was ended as friendly as when it began.
Mr.. Hazen is receiving the congratua.
tions OF his friends over his prospects
and it is possible that his appointment
may be hurried along so that he can begin
his abors Feb /.

Zulu Missionary Here.

Ole OF the most interesting characters
that has visited St. Johnsbury in several
years lcctured at the North church last
Sunday. ]. L. DUDE, son OF Zulu
chief, was the speaker and gave most
interesting description of the life, man
ners and customs of his people, bringing
before his audience in very realistic
way the needs of his countrymen. He is
working in the interests of an industrial
school. established in South Africa to ed
ucate the boys and girls to take up work
in practical way. so that they may be
able to compete with foreign labor.
Mr. Dube's history is very interesting
one His father was Zulu chief, who
gave up his own people and became
Christian under the teaching OF Rev.
Josiah Tyler, father of William c. Tyler
of this place. Mr.. Dube came to the mis-.
sion with his father, but upon the latters
death returned to live with his uncle in
heathenism. After living with his uncle
some time he came back to the mission
and at the age of II came to this coun-
try to secure an education. He landed
in Oberlin, with so cents in his pocket.
He stayed here FIVE years. Upon grad
uation he returned to his people and
worked among them until two years
ago, when he came again to this country
to solicit funds Tor the erection of build
ings and other purposes for carrying on
the work. He was accompanied by his
wife who gave some songs in the Zulu
tongue. In The evening union service
was held and the North church seldom
welcomes so large crowd of interested
persons.
Any one who feels interested in this
work and wishes to contribute some
ting may leave their gifts either with w.
c. Ty Ter or Or. A. H. Heath, who will
see that they are properly forwarded.

COUNTRY HOUSEKEEPER'S TROUBLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I would like to write few lines In answer
to the letter printed In your paper regarding the
servant question. / do not know when anything
has appealed TO me more. This oppressed house
keeper is one Of many and what is the best way
out Of 1t is still the perplexng question. When
we country housekeepers offer every inducement
in the way of a good home, we'll as good wages.
we are simply ignored and the servants will not
accept anything not for the summer, In
many cases. l agree with the writer perfectly In
saying that II were employed In offices IN
stead OF women IL would give us a better chance
OF receiving a better class of servants
When we think of the days Of our grandmothers
when the best Of help was procured at the low
wages Of IS and 80 month. II makes us feel that
we ought to get. for twice that amount, much
better service; also, considering the many neon
veniences the servants worked under IN those
days If any perplexed housekeepers can oner any
glad to hear from them. Truly yours,
COUNTRY HOUSEKEEPER.

PHILADELPHIA The Rev. Dr. William H. p. Faunce.
pastor OF the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. made a
few remarks OF welcome. Mr.. Ogden compmented
the Bible class In the highest terms and congratu-
lated Dr. Faunce the possession Of such a
"bodyguard" as he called II. He said that he
personally owed a great deal to Bible study. The
Bible he considered educational power as we'll
as spiritual power.
1T leads into everything" said Mr.. Ogden.
True education Is the making Of young minds
familiar with the greatest minds OF all ages. and
where can you find more brilliant galaxy OF great
men and great minds than In the Bible7 1t should
not be studied from intellectual basis alone. but
from the basis OF affection as well Greek, He
brew and the sciences are not necessary to
knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. Its keys are
Reverence and Faith"
Dr. Chapman spoke the value of knowing
ones self ant ruling ones self He said that he
talking with ex-President Harrison a few days
and Dewey. Mr.. Harrison said there might have
been hundred men who could have destroyed
Montojo's feet and taken the city OF Manila, but
there was only one Dewey. The ex-President be-
lieved that his most commendable. greatness lay
In the fact that he was so completely under his
