PUBLIC INSTALLATION

About 1C0 were present Tuesday evening
at the puOlic installation Of the officers OF
Aurora Lodge OF Masons, held in Masonic
hall. Wilder's orchestra furnished music for
the occasion, which was interesting and
enjoyable.
The installation was performed by Past
Master Stephen Il. Colby, e1sisted by @, A.
Lang as marshal. The officers installed
were A. W. Prescott, worshipful master,
ID. e. Mason, senior warden; f. l.. Pratt
junior warden; II. d. D4wey, secretary; d.
W. Edison, senior deacon; II. b. Taplin,
junior deacon; George L Kinsm n, chap
lain; A. G. Eaton and Alan Bagley, Stew
ards; A. A. Brown, tyler.
The installation was followed by able
addresses on M sorry by Past Grand Mas
ter George w. Wing and Rev. DR.. Norman
Seaver. Mt Wings address was along the
lines OF progress IN ade by the Nelson's and
was logical REPUTATION OF some OF the OBJ.
jections made to the order. 1t was sup
plemented by that OF Dr.. Seaver.
DR.. Seaver, in the course of his remarks,
threw heavy shot against A.P A.ism.
He said there was no logical use for il in
this country, even though its watchword is
"America for the Americans" He said IL
the true and impartial history OF the United
States is ever written two fact1, not yet in
cluded in the histories, will be established
which were most vital at the time OF the
Revolution, and, had they not existed, the
States would still be subject to foreign pow
ers.
These important fact )rs were the NJ 'sons
and the Irish. II it had not been for Free
Masonry, with it's regularity OF methods and
work the Revolutionary forces might have
failed disastrously, or, not having failed
the after history OF the French Revolution
might have been repeated. Again, after
the forces of England lad been defeated, to
the Masons is due the building up and re-
construction OF the government OF the
States.
AS to the Irish the speaker said that DUR
ing the Revolutionary war an English MEM
Der OF Parliament returned to England, af-
ter making a canvass of the situation in
America, and testified under oath in the
House of Commons, that OF those bearing
arms against the King in the Colonies, one
half were Irish emgrants and the other
half was made up OF Scotch, English and
German emigrants Thus 1t was shown
that the Irish had then and have since been
an important actor in the making OF the
States.
At the close of the exercises light re-
freshment3 were served in the bang let hall
followed by dancing. The occasion will be
remembered with pleasure by those who at
tended, and the members Of Aurora lodge
have again scored a success as entertainers.

THE FOSBURG CASE,

The hearing in the case OF Nelson @.
Jones, charged with the murder of Ida Eos
burgh by poison on March IL was begun on
Thursday in the county court house, before
Justice o. p. Moore at Middlebury. States
Attorney James B. Donoway, assisted by
Judge w. ID. Bliss Of Middlebury, is coz
Quoting the prosecution, Frank l.. Fish OF
Vergennes aud w. b, G. Stickney of Bethel
representing the prisoner.
DR.. Walter ID. Berry, medical director
and pathologist at the State hospital for the
insane at Waterbury, testified to making
the autopsy on Miss Fosburg, whom he
said had died in commissions. Nothing APP
peared about the lips to show corrosive
poison. She was pregnant. few soft sd-
hesions were found at the apex OF both
lungs, evidently of long standing. The
heart sack contained the usual amount OF
fl nd, the bacteria from which gave mega
tive result; the great vessel of the heart
was normal, as were the valves There was
no clotted blood in,the hear, no evidences
Of tuberculosis were present; the pancress
and spleen were OF normal weight, the lat
ter showing evidences OF post norton
change. The liver was of normal weight
but showed injury from tight lacing OF cor
sets.
Well-defned crystals of strychnine were
obtained from the spleen and liver while
Meyers reagent test showed an alcoloid
was present. DR.. Berry did not attempt to
estimate the exac amount OF strychnine
which had been taken into the body, but
from portion of the liver he extracted 10
milligrams, and with which several frogs
were killed. Fairly large quantities of the
poison were found in all parts OF the body
examined, enough to warrant the statement
that the cause Of death was poisoning by
strychnine. He also told in detail OF find
ing the lines indicating former pregnancy
they being we'll defined.
Albert W. Higgins, Rutland druggist,
told OF having last winter received letter
from Shoreham purporting to have been
signed by Nelson Jones. The letter con-
tained 81 and asked for two ounces OF blood
root. This letter became mlslsid, and in a
short time he received another similar let
ter asking il the letter with the money had
been received, and he at once hunted up
the first letter and returned 1t with the
money to Nelson Jones at Shorehsm.
r. w. Churchill, Brandon drug CLERK,
testified to sending fifteen grains of strych
nine to Miss Fosburg March 7. She said
she wanted 1t to kill sparrows. Several
witnesses were introduced who testified to
the good character OF Jones and the hearing
was adjourned until today.

THEIR WOODEN WEDDING.

Five years ago, April 30, Miss Julia
Roseti Ellis and Mr.. Robert Wilkinson
were happily made one. The anniversary
Of the occasion dedicated to observance
in wood was quietly celebrated Tuesday
evening, when twelve OF the intimate friends
OF Mrs. Wilkinson assembled at her home
on Barre street to deal the cards for six
hand euchre.
The symbols the occasion were sp-
propriately fashioned of wood. The
cards by which partners were chosen
were formed like spoons and the tally cards
were spades, all cut from wood paper
When refreshments were served, the ice
cream was delivered from large wooden
bowl. or chopping tray, cut with wooden
knife and handled with a wooden spoon,
eaten from wooden dishes with spoons
OF wood, and cake was munched from
wooden plates. Bouquets in unique recep.
tacles of wood adorned the table. The dec
orations were red and green. The prizs
winners were Miss Mary Tromblee, who
won q large wooden salt box, ana Mrs
Louisa Frederiks Bixby, who captured po-
tato masher. Rare taste and ingenuity
were practiced in the preparation of the &C
cessories OF the entertainments all the handi-
work of the groom of five years.
The occasion was an extremely pleasant
one. The participants dsvoutly wished the
couple the happy realiz alton Of the whole
line OF succeeding anniversaries, from the

VERDICT FOR COLLINS.

The case of Morris McKinstry again It o.
r. Collins and b III. Lowell, for an alleged
assault, in which damages were plac I'D at
$1,000, which has been on trial for eleven
days in county court, was brought to an
end on Friday, when the jury brought in
verdict for the defendant to recover his
costs.
The case went to the jury at eleven
o'clock Thursday forenoon. AT four o'clock
that afternoon they returned into court and
asked that the testimony Of Mr.. Lowell be
read TO them. This was done by Mrs.
Laird, the court reporter, and they again re-
tired. A verdict was reached at eleven
o'clock Thursday night. II was sealed and
the jury sepa ated, returning into court Fri
day morning to deliver it.
An impressi)n was abroad among peo-
pie familiar with the case, that Collins
would be mulcted heavy damages. In con-
versation with two OF the jurors, after they
had delivered their verdicf, a JOURNAL re.
porter learned that the jury was unani-
nous in the opinion that Collins was at the
McKinstry home on the date the alleged as
sault was committed, in the discharge OF
his duty as sheriff of the county, that he
was resisted by Mr.. and Mrs. NICK instry,
and that he had a right to use sufficient
force to replevin the colt for which he had

we have any knowledge is Hoods Sarsa-

up the even balance of health, gives it the

The old proverb; oTo be at peace
prepare for war" is the secret of the
larger part of life's successes, whether
of nations or individuals.
The difference between the healthy,
happy mother who has healthy children
to nurse and nourish, and the weak,
nervous mother with a weakling child,
is mostly a difference of preparation.
The great preparative for motherhood
is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It
tranquilizes the nerves, encourages the
appetite and induces refreshing sleep.
1t gives the mother strength to give her
child. 1t imparts elasticity and strength
to the organs of maternity so that the
baby's advent is practically painless.
