Artistic Plumbing Display.

C.. H. Goss has been at work fol
some time arranging show room
for displaying a line of plumbing
and the room was opened to the
public on Monday. 1t is without
question the finest display that can
be seen in Vermont and no one need
think it is necessary to go to the
cities now to get the latest styles in
bath room equipments. The show
room is above the store, occupying
a space about 20 by 40 feet. 1t is
brilliantly lighted by electricity and
shows to a better advantage by
night than by day, the reflections on
the marble and porcelain goods
being so good. The room is finished
by w. H. Moulton's skillful brush in
terra Gotta and handsomely frescoed.
In the center are six bath tubs, rang
ing from the five foot copper tub to
the porcelain tub with gold leaf
trimmings, each tnb containing all
the modern improvements and
equipments. On one side of the room
are six closets. These vary in price
according to style and finish, but all
are mounted on marble bases and
are the latest sanitary patterns. On
the opposite side of the room are
arranged Is marble wash bowls, and
these with their nickle plated fittings
and variegated marble tops are as
attractive as anything iu the room.
The marbles included in the room are 8
-ubio, light cloud, livido, listevena, 7
and other standard varieties. The
ubio is the handsomest and the
aucets in this set have gold plated
trimmings. All the fixtures in the
Dom are set in the floor just as they
would appear in private house and
DIR. Goss has duplicates Of any
rticles in the show room. Such a
isplay of sanitary plumbing reflects J
reat credit on the enterprise OF the /
rm and will not fail to increase the
ale Of these goods, as at a glance
ny prospective purchaser can now
&c just how any pattern will look >
tter it is set up ia his home.

BUYERS OF VOTES LEFT OUT.
ee--County'S Jury Commissioners Show a
Desire for Reform.

A cdispatch from Smithville says
there has been considerable comment
in Lee county upon the recent action
of the board of jury commissioners by
which many names, among whom are
the names of many prominent citizens
of the county, are stricken from the
list of qualified jurors of the county
The commissioners are very reticent
regarding their action, but the fact
has become known that the principal
reasons for such summary action was
that these parties, or majority OF
them, had engaged in the nefarious
practice of buying and selling votes at
recent primary elections, it being the
opinion of the board that the Vendee
was equally censurable with the ven
dor. and that any one so guilty should
be disqualified from sitting upon the
jury.
The board of commissioners is being
strongly censured by some, while many
others are equally as emphatic in their
commentator. Whether or not any
further steps will be taken in che mat
ter it is impossible to say.

PECULIAR MARRIAGE LAWS
OFFICIALS WIFE is CAol
ADRIFT BY THE CHURCH.
Ecclesiastical and Civil Courts
Are rIixed Up in Remark
able Manner.

The New York Journal tells OF a
strange case at Montreal, Quebec,
which is, however, but a sample OF Il
dozen similar ones that crop up IN the
course of year in that provence
where ecclesiastical and civil courts
are mixed up in the most remarkaole
manner. In this instance an ecclestl-
cal court has rendered a decision
which has been received with lndlg-
nation by Protestants and Catholics
alike.
Albert Delpit young and well-ed-
ucated Frenchman, who was brought
from old France by the late lieutenant
governor of Quebec, Sir Adolph Chap
leau. who appointed him as his private
secretary, has asked the ecclastlcal
court to annul his marriage. Delpit is
at present private secretary or the
Hon Judge Jette, lieutenant governor
of the province, and was married sew
en- years ago to pretty little l6-year-
old GIRL named Jeanne Cote, the
daughter of a high official IN the Mon
treal post office. The father was a
spiritualist, and the young people
were married in the Unitarian church
bv the Rev. MIR. Barnes.
Three children were born to them,
but of late the two have not gOt along
together very well, so the young man
asked the ecclesiastical court OF the
Catholic church to annul the marriage
on the ground that both contracting
parties being Catholics, the ceremony
was not performed before competent
authorities.
AS soon as the Young wife heard OF
this move she instituted a suit for a
divorce. but the civil courts refused to
entertain her suit till they heard how
the ecclesiastical court should act
on the husbands application. Man
ager Marois, who was at the head
OF the Catholic commission. decld-
ed that there was sufficient ground
for the annument OF the marriage,
and as the case stands now, the civil
courts viii not NEEDLE with it at all.
The decision of the ecclesiastical court
means that the young woman hnds
herself an unmarried woman. There
is an appeal to the pope. however, ana
that appeal has been taken.

TOO SUDDEN FOR ENGLAND.
Surprise and Anger Shown at
Supposed Betrayal.

A London dispatch says: Russia S
startling move in protesting similarity
of aims with America in China, and
the new lead in Chinese policy inaugu-
rated by the United States govern
ment, is the sensation Of the day in
England.
Before the receipt of the further
news of the cO-operat;on of Germany,
italy ann Japan with the United
States. which news radically changed
the situation, there was an Outburst Of
surprise and indignation in London
and supposedly "well informed" diplO-
mats declared That the United States
government had been easily eulled by
Russia.
The public had been so persistently
educated up to the belief that Great
Britain and America meant to walk
hand in hand in China that it proved
most unsetting 20 Englishmen to find
President Mckinley apparently desert
inc Lord Salisbury and uniting with
Russia in making proposals distastetul
to Great Britain.
The first impression created here by
the news Of President McKinley's ac-
ceptance of Russia's suggestions was
that the United States had left Great
Britain's side, and this 'deseruon was
openly attributed to the necessities OF
the presidential campaign. 1t was
charged that the imminence Of the
election and the fear of thseanti-imperl-
alism issue raised by the democrats
had made President Mckinley eager
TO seek an excuse for Withdrawal.
