BITS/COLOR LINE.
Mrs. Rutfin Addresses Large Audience at
Quinn Chapel.

Mrs. Rutiin Addresses a Large Audience at
Quinn Chapel.
Mrs. Josephine Ruffin of Massachu-
sets, who was denied seat as a del
egate' at the national convention of
Women's clubs in Milwaukee, made the
announcement to a congregation at
Quinn Chapel Sunday night that "the
sunb administered at the Milwaukee
gathering to the Afro-American race
would not be forgotten or endured,
but that instead the fight would be re-
newed again and again at all conven-
tons of the federation until the color
line is abandoned in fact as we'll as in
name"
The large audience applauded the
speaker heartily as she told of her
purpose to protest against the return
ing of the dues paid to the national
federation by the New Era club of
Massachusetts, of which she was a
delegate. She asserted that Mrs. Lowe,
the presiding officer at Milwaukee,
must have very short memory, in
deed, if she has forgotten, as she
claimed, that the banner Afro-Ameri-
can club Of the old bay state was form
ally admitted to membership in the
national body"
All the successive moves that result
ed in the drawing Of the color lire at
Milwaukee were criticized by Mrs
Ruftln as "a disgrace to the women of
the nation" She described many of
the leaders at the convention as t'hys-
terical lest the South should secede
from the federation" There were
some clever women, however, she said,
in the "great bevies of the grand danes
of white society who played a subtle
game at politics for weeks together, to
the end that the representative of the
Afro-American race might be barred
from the convention .. 81

Justice johnson, of st. Paul, has do.
cided in the case of the Odd Fellows Re.
view against John Gaffey, that If sNb.
scriber desires to have paper discon-
liiiued to his address, he must firset pay
the publisher the amount he owes for
subscription. and make request that
the paper be discontinued to his address.
The evidence in the case brought forth
the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid
fer the Review for one year. and that
ne continued to accept it after his sub.
scriptio,l had expired. Later he changed
his address without notifying the pub
Usher. and claimed not to have received
the raper. This, the court held, was

This case was tried at the last Sep
TENDER term of Orleans County Court
and verdict was returned for plaintiff
to recover $3.50. There were excep.
tions by defendant and case was carried
to supreme court, which reversed the
judgment of county court and cause
remanded The case was an action
brought against the Grand Trunk Rail
way by Fitzpatrick for injuries received
in the raihpad yard at Island Pond
while performing his duties as yard
master. Near the railway station is
bridge reaching up over the tracks, which
are several in number. 20 support the
center of this bridge posts are run up
and down between the tracks. These
posts, as testified to by witnesses, are
about 20 inches from an ordinary car.
In attempting to board car in the
night in the performance of his duty he
was struck by one OF these posts, knocked
off and had one foot crushed under the
wheels. 1t seems the ladder he attempt
ed to climb was OH the side of the car
instead of being on the end. The plain
tiff claimed that it was contrary to the
laws of Vermont to have side ladders on
cars and that railroads are responsible
for accidents resulting therefrom. The
defendants claimed that the plaintiff did
not exercise due care and vigilance, and
was not entitled to damage on that ac-
count. The verdict rendered last Sep
TENDER was "That the defendant is
guilty in manner and form as the plain
tiff in his declaration has alleged and
therefore we find for the plaintiff of the
defendant the sum of $l750 damage and
costs" In the special verdict the ques-
ton was asked; Did the negligence OF

A Munificent Gift.

Again has Col. +. c. Benton of Bos-
ton shown his great affection for his
native town of Guildhall, by erecting on
the site of the old Essex House hand
some structure to be used as a public
library and masonic hall, and presenting
it to the town. Next Thursday Septem.
Der %, at II NJ the grand officers of the
Grand Lodge of Vermont, +. & A. NJ,
with Most Worshipful w. Scott Nay,
Grand Master, will lay the corner stone
of this building. The masonic lodges
in the vicinity are earnestly invited to
participate in the ceremonies, and it is
expected that it will be the largest ma
sonic gathering ever held in this section.
The people throughout Essex county
have fresh in their minds the enjoyable
time spent at Guildhall just one year
ago when this same Col. Benton pre-
scented the town with a memorial shaft
to commemorate the one hundredth ami
versary of the Congregational Church,
and it is to be hoped that all who can
will attend on this occasion. The HER
AID will publish cut of the building
and full description in the near future,
but in the meantime we can assure our
readers it will when completed be one of
the best buildings in Northern Vermont,
and an ornament to the town. That
Col. Benton's gift will be held in the
highest appreciation by his former
