CIDER BARREL ORGY.

Manchester, May l5.-Harry Hicks,
Merit Reed, and Maude Wade wele
arrested by Sheriff Giddings yester
day, charged with breaking and en-.
tering house owned by John j. Par
is, OF Rutland, last Friday, and lodged
in the county Jail at this place to.
day.
The house was located on the Bar
numville read back near the noun
talns and was not occupied. Several
barrels of cider were stored in the Gel
lar and this was the enticing bait that
led to the alleged downfall Of Reed
and the Wade girl. Hicks has already
served one term in state prison and is
a thoroughly worthless specimen.
The three had evidently made sew
eral trips 10 the house and had had
several all night sessions, as they had
taken food there several times and
had evidently tried hard to have
good time.
The Wade girl has turned state s
evidence and will be used in securing
the conviction of Hicks and Reed, who
will be held until the June term of
court, which opens at this place the
first Tuesday in June.
Hicks has only been out Of prison
since fall and as his ti'st offence, was
for breaking into store this his sec
ond will probably result In his contine-
ment for number of years.

THE ROCHESTER, RAILROAD

Rochester, May Is. - This town
which has been enjoying a limited
railroad service during the winter is
again having it's mail brought by
stage coach and no one here is able to
say when the railrCad service will be
resumed.
On Friday last the receivers Of the
White River Valley railroad, Rufus
Sawyer and Frank Page of Maiden,
Mass, issued orders discharging all
the station agents, engineers, conduc-
tors and section men and ordered all
traffic stopped. Since that time no.
thing has been done on the road ex-
cept some hallasting on this end, sup
posedly under the orders of the re-
ceiverS.
The cause of this act on the part OF
receivers is not fully explained but
it is said there is quarrel in the
management of the road and the
finances of the road are not in salts
factory condition. No one here is
able to tell when the trouble will be
settled or when the traffic is likely to
be resumed.

Japanese Peasants Who Are Kept
Track of by Labels.
When the Japanese peasants get
themselves up for a pilgrimage to a
city for the purpose of laying in stock
of finery, they present the quaintest ap-
pcarance imaginable. The women gen
orally tuck up their petticoats well
above their knees, either leaving the
legs bare or else swathing them In
white bandages which form kind Of
leggings. Their hair is done in the usu-
al elaborate Japanese style, and gener-
ally an artificial flower Is stuck in at
the top. 1t does look comic to see the
wizened face of an old woman with a
large red nose hobnobbing over 1t. And
this floral decoration is not confined to
the women. When you meet party Of
pilgrims. you often see the old men also
with a flower stuck coquettishly above
the ear
At Nagano 1t appears that many Of
the poor old dears from the country get
so bewildered by the magnifcence of
the places they go to and the distrac-
tons of shopping that they quite lose
their heads and consequently their
way. So the ever thoughtful Japanese
police have insisted that every party of
pilgrims is to have a distinguishing
badge. At Nagano it was the common
est thing possible to see some ancient
dame rushing about wailing: Where is
my party? Where is. the purple iris
party?" or Where is the yellow towel
round the neck party" And then she
would be told that yellow towel round
the neck party" was on its way to the
station or that the purple irises" were
still saying their prayers In the temple.
