to give full light by Saturday night.
Contract May Be Advocated.

Judge Kemp at this juncture stated
to the council that since the contract
was drawn he had learned that 1000
nominal candle power did not mean
1000 candle power; that it only meant
$50 candle power. When the contract
was drawn he was not aware of the
technical discrepancy. The franchise
called for 1000 actual candle power.
Under the entire circumstances he be-
lieved that if the company did not in
tend to live up to fair construction
of the franchise that the contract could
be abrogated by equitable proceedings.
Alderman Clifford asked if there was
such thing as 1000 actual candle
power light, and Mr.. Peticolas replied
that the City of Mexico had required
an electrical company to furnish one,
that being the candle power stated in
the contract, as in the present instance
but ordinarily the term 1000 nominal
candle power meant between $50 and
600 actual candle power
In this connection Mr.. Peticolas
asked for instructions as to whether
he was to make a test of the lights up
on an actual or nominal basis
The council appeared to be somewhat
at sea and therefore failed to give any
definite instructions upon this point
Judge Kemp said that he had made
the statement in order that the city
could be informed of its rights.
The discussion was prolonged,
though disposition was manifest to
treat the company fairly and not take
any advantage unnecessarily. The
matter was finally refererd to the fire
and water committee for an exhaustive
test of the lights and to ascertain what
the city is receiving
Upon motion Alderman Ogden was
and the council adjourned

ANDREWS OPERA COMPANY
OPENS ITS ENGAGEMENT.
A Good House Hears a Good Produc-
ton of the Opera Martha"

ton OF the opera Martha
The Andrews Opera company opened
a tire nights engagement at the Myar
last night to a good house. The COM
pany, although small for an opera COM
pany, gives a first-class entertainment.
They lack in chorus and scenery but
in the presentation of Martha" last

everything else. If there is any opera
with pretty quartettes it is Martha
and the four voices last night blended
perfectly.
Catherine Lee as Lady Harriet has
a sweet soprano voice and is a good ac-
tress. Nancy, her maid. (Florence An

probably the best actress in the COM

night and was a great favorite. She
has rich mellow voice with a wonder

John c. Taylor. the tenor. took the
part of Lionel and won the applause of
everybody by his magnificent tenor
voice. Mr.. Taylor is a stranger to Ell

the east and is a great favorite every

and every word is spoken so that 1t can
be understood. James Stevens as
Plunkett displayed a fine baritone
voice with wide range. The choruses

the house will be comfortably filled

NuP Endurance.

! During life each member Of the
human body produces poison to itself.
When this poison accumulates faster
than it can be eliminated, which al.
ways occurs unless the muscle has
an interval of rest. then will come
fatigue, which is only another express
sion for toxic infection.
If the muscle is given an interval OF
rest, so that the cell can give off its
waste product to keep pace with the
new productions. the muscle will then
liberate energy for long time. This
latter condition Is what we call en-
aurance.
Like any other ponderous and in
tricate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order. The brain. nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning Of the work they are expected
10 perform. Ignorance Of this fact has
broken down many young man who
ispired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity Of getting all the parts
Df the body slowly in working order IL
well understood by trainers and jockeys
On the race track. as is evinced by the
preliminary warming up they give
their horses. although it is doubtful II
the trainers could give any physiologic
reason for their custom.-Popular

WitchCraft.

'The sixteenth and seventeenth cen

hourishing ages Of the witchcraft de-
fusion. Witchcraft. in the early ages,
was considered one of the greatest of
crimes. as much so as murder robbery
Dr any other serious offense against
he law. and the belief in it was shared
~ the whole human race until the lat
.er part of the seventeenth century.
I'm England, in 1864. two women
we're tried before Sir Matthew Hale,
charged with bewitching several girls
and baby. and they We're put to
death. for at that time the evidence
'eemed perfectly rational. In 1915. in
Genoa, 500 people were burned to
leath on the charge of witchcraft. 1t
vas the proud boast of a noted execu-
TONER in northern Italy. at this time,
that in Is years he had assisted in
burning 900 persons charged with sor-

1000. 5000 people were put to death,
In average Of 200 year. The last
execution for witchcraft in England

His Sad Blunder.

Yes, 1t was sad blunder
He thought the children were in the
other room, but 1t so happened that it
was occupied by his wife and lachry-
NOSE neighbor We all know these sell
sitive women who weep on the slight
est provocation. who begin to sniffie
when they talk of their woes this be-
ing really little more than bid for
words of comfort. and this woman was
one of them. What had happened is
quite immaterial. Something had been
said or done that had completely upset
her, and in her appeal for solace she
sniffied.
AS before remarked. he thought the
children were in the other room, and
one of the children had been suffering
from cold in the head. OF course ev-
cry one knows how annoying young
ster with cold in the head can be,
and he was not in the best of humor
anyway.
"For heavens sake, blow your nose"'
he cried at last.
Oh, yes; it was sad blunder. but
even blunders have their compensa-
tons. The lachrymose one does not
come to that house for sympathy as
she formerly did.-Chicago Post.

BARRE, VT, APRIL 10, 1901

Barre should have Fourth Of July
celebration this year that will eclipse
all others of times past. The commit.
tee who had charge OF the affair last
year met with remarkable success and
they were ably assisted by the gener.
GUS financial support Of the merchants
as well as by the enthusiastic efforts
of the citizens Of both the city and
town, especially those from Granite
vile. This year the same committee
could make the affair a much more
extensive one and it is probable that
most OF the stores would be tittingly
represented by floats in the parade.
Last year thousands Of people came
here to see the sights and among the
visitors were hundreds who before
that time knew of Barre only as they
had seen the name in print or as they
had formed impressions by occa ,ional
visits before 1T became such thriving
business center as it is today. These
people found it much larger city than
they expected to see and populated
by hustling class of citizens. The
visitors could not help but appreciate
the fact that the celebration was all
that it was advertised to be and they
will be glad to come this year and in
duce their friends to come. Even the
most obstinate person must see that
such an event is benefit to the city.
