Ladies' Guild Entertainment

The ladies of st. Gabriels guild scored
a big success with their refreshment sale
and entertainments Tuesday night both
financially and otherwise, the proceeds
of the evening amounting to $50 20.
The opera house was filled from un-
til nearly ii O'Clock and was a specially
enjoyable affair for the little folks, whose
attention was fully occupied by the fish
pond, the cake and cream, and the songs,
recitations and music. No regular pro-
gram had been arranged but tie follow
ing is the rotation in which the same
was given:
instrumental duet, "Cornfiower Waltz
Louise Brown, Jeanette Wilson
Solo, Happy Days" Mis- Daisy Brady
Piano solo, shepherd Boy" Eleanor Screven
Piano solo, The Dolls Dream

Jeanette and Ethel Wilson, Erwinna
Gaulden and frankie Stewart.
Waitresses-Mrs. L. G. Branning, Mrs.
T. b. Wager, the Misses Annie Paddi-
son, Daisy Brady and Katie Stewart.
The fish pond was not stocked half
heavily enough to meet the demand of
the little boys and girls, who, with their
hands full of nickles eager to spend, were
doomed TO disappointment ere the even
ing Was half gone.
The ladies of the guild received many
articles for the sale at the fancy work
booth from ladies who were former MEM
bers of the guild, as follows: Mrs. T. w.
Lund, Sr., Mrs. ]. o. Walton, Of Jack
sonville; Miss Ida X. Bates, of Cham
paign, ILL.,; Mrs. II. G. Bulge, Miami;
and others not former members but
friends of the members.
The articles were all readily disposed
of and all the cake and ice cream Was
sold to good advantage. The pretty silk
quilt, the product of the ladies of
the guild, was raffied and drawn by Mr..
Z. f. Knox. Ii brought $1,000.
The decoration of the hall, the erec-
ton Of the booths and like work was at
tended to by Mr.. w. NJ. Brown, Major
F. NJ. Taylor and Mr.. S. +. Gray, who
put forth herculean efforts to make the
hall 80 attractive. Mr.. Brown also acted

Witherell-Lane.

The wedding Of Charles Leslie Wither-,
ell and Miss Estelle Dana Lane, eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c. II. Lane,
was very enjoyable social event. The
wedding occurred at the Congregational
church at Cornwall Wednesday evening,
Dec. IS, at 80 o'clock. The church
was well filled when the wedding party
entered. The decorations were under
the supervision of Mrs. Cora H Preston
and were credit to her artistic taste.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
S. III. Barnum in very happy manner.
Stowell r. Witherell was best man and
Miss Jessie A. Lane acted as maid of
honor. The ushers were Sanford II.
Lane, Eugene c. Bingham, Albert f.
Witherell and Benjamin II. Field. Miss
Daisy l.. Cushman of Middlebury played
the wedding march. The bride entered
the church upon the arm Of her father,
preceded by the ushers, and met the
groom and best man at the altar. The
bride was attired in white crepe de chene
over white silk, with white tulle veil
held in place by a wreath of orange bios
SONS. She carried a boquet Of orange
blossoms. The maid of honor carried
bridesmaid roses, and her gown was Of
nie-green crepe-de-chene over silk,
trimmed with applique of chiffon en-
broidery. After the wedding an informal
reception was held at the home of Nine.
Lane, grandmother of the bride. The
gifts were unusually numerous and ele-
CANT, showing the estimation in which the
young ouple are held. The rooms
were daintily decorated in green and
white, the refreshments were all that the
palate of an epicure could desire and all
went merry as weddings ever should.
The dining room was in charge of Miss
Katherine Griswold, ably assisted by
Miss Daisy Cushman, Miss Florence
Howard, Miss Frances Warner, Miss
Beatrice Miner and Miss Marguerite
Lane. The young couple took the
sleeper for wedding trip, amid liberal
shower of rice and the good wishes of a
host of friends. After their return they
Nwill be at home at the Witherell home
] stead.

POINTS FOR WATER TAKERS.
Pressure on Mains-Care and Economy In
Use of Household Supply.

Pressure on Mafns-Care and Economy III
Use of Household Supply.
There seems to be considerable misun-
derstanding regarding the pressure
which the water in the reservoir on
Chapman Hill is exertlng upon the mains
in the village. 1t follows from very
simple proposition in hydraulics that
the pressure which is exerted depends
only upon the height of the reservoir and
not at all upon the quantity of water In
it, or the size of pipe used. The water
in the reservoir is about 300 feet above
the level of the main at the pumping
station. 1t therefore causes pressure
at that point of about 130 pounds to the
square inch. The average pressure
given by the pumps has been 80 pounds.
The new pressure is greater than that by
about 80 pounds. The superintendent
of the pumping station has often run the
pumps so that the pressure has been l40
pounds. The mains have sustained this
pressure without failure. If they have
withstood this greater pressure, which
has been more or less of hammering
one because produced by the pumps,
they can surely withstand the lower
pressure which is perfectly steady one.
Water takers cannot he too careful In
the use of the water at the present time.
The danger will not cease until the mains
have been thoroughly washed and the
new water has been in use for some little
time. 1t is earnestly advised that great
caution be observed until further
notice is given In these columns that the
water is safe for drinking purposes. A
further point is urged upon the attention
of water takers. 1t is useless to attempt
cleaning your service pipe until the
mains are flushed at the hydrant. 1t
does no good to let the water run freely
at the faucet before the river water is
entirely washed out. Even after that
Is done the water should not be used in
wasteful manner. 1t would be very
simple matter for the water to be drawn
away at the faucet faster than even
larger pipe line than we have could bring
it here. The supply is more than ample
for all legitimate uses, but it cannot be
sufficient for useless waste, nor should
that be expected of it. The practice of
leaving faucets open continuously should
be emphatcally condemned, and all
leaks In plumbing should be carefully
stopped.
In the water works expenditures state
ment printed last week two items of the
Rensselaer, Manufacturing Co. of respect
lively S45 and 1888 65 were omitted in
printing. These items are of course
necessary to give the total as printed.
