the letter of the soldier in the New.
Voice fails to furnish any evidence Or
any information. 1t is simply an inn
passioned diatribe against the evils or
the drink habit, a subject upon which
the most OF US are all agreed. In CAPT

OVER ELECTRIC ROAD,
First Car Run Wednesday on Trial
Trip, to c. L. Barber's.

Mr.. Barber, who Is Critically Ill, EH-
changed Greetings with Those on the
Cnr---TrIps VIII BE Made Regularly
BEGINNING Tomorrow or Monday
The first car over the electric road, or any
part of it, was run Wednesday, the gener-
ator and other mechanism of the road be-
ing then tested. The time when the first
car should pass up through the Square has
been looked forward TO with great expect
ancy for many months, and although no
preparations had been made for celebrating
the event in any way, there was goodly
crowd there to welcome 1t. Everything
worked in a satisfactory manner, although
new and untried. 1t had been planned
for some time that as early as the cur
rent could be used with safety the employees
would run q car through the village as far
as c. l.. BaTber's, who has been deeply in
terested in the project, is a director, and
has given the use of BARRIERS park to the
road. As he is lying very i'll. and had often
expressed the wish that he might see the
cars pass his house. special effort was
made. The car stopped in front of Mr.,
Barber residence when it passed each way.
Mr.. Barber had been moved into the win
dow and exchanged greetings with those on
the car. One of the best cars was used
and went as far as the corner of Henry and
Pine streets and back. When it started
from the depot only employees of the COM
pany were on board, but on its return it
had full load of passengers to whom the
courtesy of free ride was extended by SUI
perintendent Holton.
The journals of the car were not in per-
feet condition, and were somewhat heated,
and it was found that the generator lacked
regulation, which is being done by taking
apart and changing, so no cars have been
run over the road SINCE but it is expected
that they will be ready to run regularly be-
tween here and the Barber farm by tomor-
row or Monday at the farthest. The COM
pany has appointed two conductors and
two motormen, and have some experts here
now instructing them. As conductors
Henry f. Bean, formerly a passenger con-
ductor of the Rutland road, and George
Alexander of SaXtons River are the ones
selected from the large number of appli
cants. For mOtormen, one has been
brought here from New Haven, Conn,
Chas. Copley, as stated last week, and Park
Mellish of our village has been appointed.
Mr. Mellish has for some years been in the
employ of the American Express company.

mer, as he has done previously, finding the
outdoor life of the summer of decided
benefit to his health.
Miss Lewis went to her home in West
minister at the close of school Friday. Di
rector Miller gave her Monday for the pur-
pose of visiting other schools. She spent
the day in three Westminster schools
taught by Misses Ranney, Richardson and
Goodel.
Miss Nellie Cutting has closed her
school in Hamilton, Mass, where she has
taught for a year with very little vacation,
and is expected home next week. She APP
pears to have been very successful with
her school there, as she has been ever
since she began TO teach.
Henry p. Ranney was operated upon by
Drs. Gorham and Foster las. Sunday fore
noon in the removal of growth on his
ear, which had been coming for a consid-
cradle time and was beginning to give him
trouble. The operation seems to have
been successful and the incision TO be rap
idly healing. 1t does not confne him to
the house or from light work.
The Children's day exercises passed off
very pleasantly. There was good attend
ance at both services, particularly at the
concert of the afternoon. The exercise
was considered one of the best we have
had and all engaged in it performed their
parts creditably. The manner of taking
the offering was especially interesting, it
not having been done in this way before.
The youthful flower committee of the
Christian Endeavor society, who had the
| decoration in charge worked hard and
made fine display, which has never been
exceeded on such an occasion. The COM
mittee who arranged the exercise, Misses
Lewis, Houghton, Wellman and Goodell,
have the hearty thanks of all for their as
siduous attention to their duty. After her
hard work in training the children, Miss
Lewis did not have the privilege of witness
ing the fruits of it, since she could not be
in two places at the same time.
