address on Kurn-Hattin Homes.

Rev. G. III. De Bevoise, pastor of the
congregational church in Westmins-
ter, preached in the Centre church
last Sunday in exchange with Rev.
II. r. Miles. Rev. Mr.. DeBevoise has
been connected with the Kurn-Hattin
Homes in Westminster the past six
years, and his address was confined 20
the work of the homes. The object
Of the homes as is we'll known, is to
provide shelter and Christian training
for homeless children, and the success
of the work is limited only by the
financial resources. There are now
over go children in the homes, some
orphans, rescued from the iniquitious
dens of the city in order to turn their
course from the penitentiaries to the
Churches and Christian homes. At
tie right age the children are found
responsible positions and are placed
where Christian Influences will con
tinue TO be brought to bear upon
them. Thus far not one of the chill
dren so provided for has turned ont
badly.
Massachusetts has furnished the
largest number of children for the
homes. Vermont comes next, New
Hampshire third and Connecticut
fourth Mr.. DeBevoise said objection
to the homes had been made on the
ground that they furnished a dumping
ground for the Massachusetts slums.
He vehemently denied the statement,
but added that even if that We're true
Vermont could do no more glorious
a thing than to continue in the work.
The speaker did not ask for contribu-
tions and no collection was taken, but
at the close of the service a number of
voluntary offerings were made. Brat
tleboro has taken a passive interest in
the homes for some time. Mr.. DeBe-
voise is confdent that this interest
will become active soon. Mr.. DeBe-
voise spoke briefly at the opening OF
Sunday school and presented the
school with group photographs Of the
boys and girls in the homes.

Complicated Legal Tanele.

An interesting complication in the
settlement of the Obed Hall estate of
Newfane was argued at hearing Mon
day afternoon before f. d. Stowe and
r. f.. Gordon, commissioners of the
estate. Previous to 1897 Obed Hall
was supported by the town of New
fame. In that year his son, William
II. Hall, died, leaving life insurance
amounting to from $1,000 to $4,000 to
his father. This constitutes the Obed
Hall estate. In the same year a guar
dian was appointed over Obed Hall
on the application of the town of New
fame. Mr. Hall died last summer.
His son Wallace now presents a claim
against the estate in the form of a
note for $3.50 dated in 1889. The
note bears Obed Halls endorsement
of renewal, dated in February, 1897.
Henry W. Hall and George l.. Hall,
brothers of Wallace Hall, contest the
allowance of this note on the ground
that it is fraudulent and that the sig
nature of Obed Hall is forgery. j.
II. Sears of Mlllers Falls, Mass, wit
ness for the claimant, testified that
he had done business with Obed Hall
and that according to his judgment
the signature of Obed Hall on the
note in question was genuine. The
town of Newfane also presented a
claim of $3.50 for money paid out for
the deceased while he was a town
charge. Lawyer H. G. Barber ap-
peared for Wallace Hall, and c, g,

A SUNDAY RUNAWAY.

Gulford Went Through Brattleboro

A runaway from near Guiford to
Dummerston, via Brattleboro, disturb
ed the wonted Sunday calm all along the
route late in the afternoon, and at sew
eral points generated enough of uncel-
tainty, danger and spectacular effect
to warrant the term excitement.
Mrs. bartholomew Foley was return
ing from Guilford when the horse got
beyond her control and ran rapidly
into the village. On the Fuller hill
the runaway team rapidly approached
the sleigh in which Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Waite We're riding Mrs. Foley's cries
were heard by them, however, and
Mr.. Waite refined out in time to avoid
a collision. Mr.. and Mrs. Waite drove
after the runaway, and were only "a
short distance behind when Mrs.
Foley was thrown from the sleigh at
the curve near the Canal street school
house. Mr. and Mrs. Waite assisted
her into their sleigh and took her to
their home on Canal street. A physi-
clan was summoned, but it was found
that Mrs. Foley's hiulic, were not So

striking post near the Ullery build

ing in going through Main street. Mr.
an Mrs. Bailey, who live near the old
ferry, were driving in the Waite neigh
bOrhoOd above West river when they
saw the runaway coming at a mod
crate pace. Both got out of the sleigh,
expecting to stop the runaway, but the
the noise frlghted their own horse,
and the two unguided animals raced
neck and neck along the fiat some dis
lance. The lresher horse drew ahead
after time, and when the ferry road
was reached turned in there. Tho
horse which lad been driven by Mrs.
Foley followed, and both were found
at the farm where Mr. Bailey lives.

The wool quilt has all the advantages
cf the down. with the additional one, if
one looks upon it from that standpoint,
that they are a little cheaper. They
are lined with a fine quality of Shet-
land wool. are soft and feecy, covered
with the prCttieSt of silks and satins,
and they make an ideal bed covering.
All the flowers are to be found in the
designs Some Of them also have the
JapancsC up and down effect that is so
attractive. 1t is, these floral designs
that are bought to match pretty chintz
wallpapers, or the quilts in only one
color are purchased-blue for a blue
room. pink for a pink room, etc. The
popular line of wool quilts with the
silk covers cost S15,. and the prices
range upward to S24 or even more for
some of tine finer ones.
The finest covers are as rule to be
found on the down quilts. A blue satin
one, for instance, has the whole center
covered with q handsome square Of
white lace and border of the lace
around the edge. A quilt like this costs
$40.
Blankets can be found now that are
nearly az light and soft as the down on
wool quilts. The best of these are the
French blankets, thick and soft, which
have the warmth Of two ordinary blan-
kets. They do not come in pairs, and
each blanket is bound at both ends
with a wide satin binding. These sell
for from SO to SIS apiece.-New York

sometimes an amusing person, particu-
larly if a sense of his own importance
is unduly developed.
On one occasion word was received

such and such a morning every man in
Officer IS army must change his
shirt.
The Imperial Light horse, who form
ed part of the command, had only one
shirt apiece, and that was on their
backs. So messenger was dispatched
to explain. But the honorable and gal
liant officer, fresh from Sandhurst,
knew his business.
"If the men of the Imperial Light
horse have not got second shirt" said
he firmly, "let them change shirts with
each other. My orders are imperative"
