AHomo.Made AutomohIIs.

A. E. Parks automobile is nearly COM
pleted and the first trial will be made
in a few days. Mr.. Park has been at
work on the machine as opportunity al
lowed, since last February. He has con-
structed an automobile which he is conf
dent will equal any of the low priced ma
chimes on the market. The automobile is
at present on the third floor of the Taft
building on Flat street. The general APP
pearance of it is much the same of the
now comparatively well-known "locomo-
bile" The body of the carriage is hung
low and is graceful in appearance. The
motive power is furnished by gasoline, the
engine being of four-horse power, placed
below the body of the carriage. The en-
CINE and wheels are the only parts of the
carriage which are not of home production.
The power developed is expected to be
sufficient to climb any of the ordinary
grades. 1t was Mr.. Parks intention in
the experiment to see if it were not posi-
BILE to construct an automobile the equal
of any of the cheaper carriages now before
the public, and to produce them at a still
lower cost. Mr. Park feels confident that
he has done this, and if the testing of the
machine proves successful it is probable
that he will arrange for the manufacture
of machines in Brattleboro. The outcome
of the trial will be watched with much in
terest.

A BIRD Day In DIs,rlet No. >.

An exceedingly interesting and success
full bird day program was rendered by the
teacher, Miss NJ. Hill, and her pupils in
district No. last Friday afternoon at the
close of the term.
The work of the term in penmanship,
drawing, weaving and kindred branches
was arranged for exhibition and showed
much care on the part of both teacher and
pupils. The drawing included both origi-
nal designs and copies from nature. On
tables on each side were grouped birds
nests of various kinds, also mounted birds.
Pictures of birds adorned the walls, while
the real article in the form of canaries
hung at some of the windows.
The recitations were all on the general
subject of birds, and were, with but few ex-
cepIions, we'll delivered. The musical part of
the program, besides several songs given as
solos, duets or by the whole school, included
a either solo prettily rendered from memory
by Miss May Prouty, two fine selections on
the organ by Justin Dix, tune on the
metallaphOne by Hugh Thayer, and VIC
lin solo by Miss Olive Weatherhead. At
the close of the exercises by the school
Mrs. E. b. Davenport gave a talk to the
children on birds and their nests. After
dismissal Mrs. Davenport was surrounded

questions about birds and nests which
they had seen during the summer.
Miss Hill told the visitors that she as
signed different roads in the village to GER
tain pupils early in the term, and that they
had been watching these roads during the
summer and reporting to her birds seen in
the different localities.
From the school room visitors and

The work with birds carried on in this
school during the past term is a practical
working out of some of the plans of the
BrattlebOro Bird club, as it was in one of
the meetings of this club that Miss Hill re-
ceived the ideas which she so successfully
put in practice during the summer.

Golf Club Formed,

The Morningside Golf club was formed
Friday evening at a meeting held with
Miss Emily Tones Officers were chosen
as follows: President, Col. G. A. Miles /;
vice president, Miss Emily Tones secre-
tsry and treasurer, Charles A. Boyden !;
greens committee, Rev. f. (. Marble, c..
A. Harris and G. II. Thompson. A nine
hole course will be laid out on the grounds
of the Brattleboro Retreat. The club has
about 10 members, and it is evident that
the game which has attained such great
popularity throughout the United States
will have many enthusiasts in Brattleboro.
Golf was practically an unknown game in
this country six years ago, but in the past
five years the total expenditure here in
golf links, club houses, equipments, etc.,
aggregates nearly 100000, 900. A pro-
fessional player who has visited all the
links from the West Indies to Murray Bay
says the finest course in this country is on
the estate of F. c. Kennedy, the million
aire cracker baker, at Windsor.
Later,-A second meeting of the club
was held at the Brooks House Wednesday
evening, when a constitution and bylaws
were adopted. The club has 112 members.
The membership limit is $50.

The observance of Children's day at the
Baptist church consisted principally of a
special sermon to the children at the morn

pit was very tastefully trimmed with ferns

room was fountain surrounded with ferns.
There was no evening service.
The new engine for the Centreville fac

The great spring wheat territOry--Min.
nesota and the Dakotas-which has been
in a critical condition, does not improve,
owing to extended drought. 1t is eslimat-
ed that there will be only about two-thirds
of crop, and unless there are rains soon
there will be less than half a crop, accord
ing to government experts. But the tota
amount will not be short much as there is
big crop in Kansas. The Kansas crop
however, is not available for many fom
mills as a large part of it will be export
ed. The result will be a tendency to in
crease the range of prices for the coming
year.
1t is expected that new time tables will
be issued early next week by both the
Boston Il Maine and Central Vermont
railroads. The change on the Boston &

Promotion for Bratn.boro Boy.

Walter H. Eddy, who was graduated
from Amherst college in the class of 1898,
and who has been for two years the science
teacher in the Amherst High school, has
handed in his resignation to the school
board, to take effect at the end of the
school year. He has received the appoint
ment of the head of the department of
natural sciences in one of the best High
schools in New Jersey, only Is miles from
New York city. His loss will be deeply
felt at the Amherst school, where he is
generally liked, not only on account of his
scholarly work in the natural sciences, but
also because of his gracious and gentle
manly demeanor toward all with whom he
comes in contact. He will carry away with
him the best wishes of many people for his
success in the New Jersey school. = Am

A Knott & CIo,son Victim.

A continued hearing in the cases special
ly referred by Judge Wheeler to Referee
in Bankruptcy George W. Deberville, in
the case of Knott & Closson, bankrupts,
was held at Burlington Monday. The
hearing was to have begun in the morning
but for several reasons was postponed un-
til o'clock. Over 100 creditors had been
notified to appear but only four were pres
ent for examination.
George M. Fay, formerly of Brattleboro,
but now living in Massachusetts, testified
that he bought cotton and grain from
Knott & Closson. He sold cotton in Feb
ruary at a profit of a little over $500.
This was bought to sell again and he did
not expect to have it delivered. He was
not a dealer in cotton or grain except in
this way. He did not intend to take the
cotton outright at any time unless forced
to do so. 1t was bought to sell. His
claim was S6025.44 and is made up of a
balance from transactions in grain and cot
ton. He never paid in but $780,
