CUBA'S QUEEN
OF BEAUTY.
She Is Clever and Witty as Well
as Pretty.

New York, Sept. 5.--(Spl.) )-Senor-
ita Silvia Alfonso ALBANIA, Cuba's new
queen of beauty, has arrived in New
York for visit. She IS 20 years old,
as yiyacious as Parisienne and with
the rare taste In dress of her French
sister. This may be due to the fact
that she was educated in France. She
speaks French as fluently as Spanish
and her English is marked with the
prettiest kind of an accent.
She is a clever and witty talker and
regards the distinction she bears of
being the prettiest woman of Cuba as
something of u good-natured joke.
Every three or four years new
beauty is chosen in Havana by a pop
ular vote, the contest being managed
by La Figaro, the Cuban newspaper.
The contest which resulted in the cleo
tlon of Senorita Alfonso took place in
March. Her nearest competitor was
Senorita Marguerite Mendoza, who re-
ceived between 10000 and / ! 900 votes.

DEEP CUT
In Telegraph Company's
Receipts.
Telephone Companies Are Strong
Competitors.
(special Correspondence.)

TSptCIdI IC0rrcsP0rIuCHcVV
Columbus, o., Sept. 5.-The western
Union Telegraph Co. made a plea for
a reduction in taxation Wednesday az
ternoon before the State Board of
Assessors and Appraisers, and admit
ted that the telephone companies were
making inroads into its revenues to the
extent that it is only by the most rig
id economy that the guaranteed five

clared.
Last year the company was listed for
taxation at a value of S2,04S,OOO.
The board will consider the request
when it gets down to the business or
fixing valuations in a few weeks.

Dear Friends Whether "Old Home

I wish it might bring everybody to the
general reception at the Museum, Thurs
day evening, Aug. Is, at s o'clock. The
Governor call cannot bring back many
of the scattered Green Mountain boys
and girls, but it will be worth while if it
brings us who are on our native or
adopted heath out where we'll shake one
another by the hand as if we really
wanted to. St. Johnsbury, we may
modestly say is good town to live in
and to welcome friends to. Old letters
Just now are assuring us it is the dearest
spot on earth, (the folks, take it, not
merely streets and houses). However
that be, the thing for US to do this one
week, is to cherish a sort of local patriot
ism, take afectionate pride in our institu-
tions and people. Come flowing together
on Thursday evening and have brimtul
midsummer reception of one another,
wherein everybody will be glad to greet
every other body and so cheerily inau-
gurate our first St. Johnsbury Old Home

Friday evening at o'clock. All former

guests of the "old home week" associa-
tion at that time and hearty invitation
is extended to all our townspeople to
come and share the festivities with them.
The price of tickets for the townspeople
will be so cents a plate. Good music

| gressman Foster, ex-Congressman Gil
| filan of Minneapolis, Lawyer Fred @.
Fleetwood of Morrisville, E. Fl. Walcott

parties who stole two horses from the
barn OF ]. W. Hopkins of Barnet, on the
night of July "a, and abandoned them at
Lunenburg the next day, was arrested
at Lyndonville Monday night by Deputy
Sheriff Silsby, who has been on the look
out for him for several days. Sheriff Sui

had been made, after he had retired for
the night. He got up at $50, spent
considerable time getting ready, drove
to Lyndonville and returned with his
prisoner, lodged him in Jail and was in
bed again at II O'Clock. Pope, who is
only 16 years old, confessed that they
were bound for Canada with the horses,
but his companion was not accustomed
to bareback riding and by the time
Lunenburg was reached he was unable
to ride further. The horses were turned
into a pasture and it was the intention
to resume the journey later. But the
horses were found and returned to their
owner. The other party, Tom Braley
is now in Massachusetts and Sheriff Sui
loway expects that he will be apprehend
ed in few days.

Death of Mrs. Samuel Longmore.

Jennie D. Norton, wife of Samuel Long
more, proprietor Of the Union House,
died at her home Thursday afternoon
after a particularly painful illness of
eight days. Death was due to pneumo-
MIA complicated with neuralgia. Mrs.

II, 1856. Her mother died when she
was young and she went to live with an
uncle at Nelson, P. O.; afterwards she
returned to Quebec, and lived there for
some years, then she came to Lyndon
and worked for time in the family of
the late George Ide; afterwards she lived
a short time in Potsdam, N. Y, and in
Boston. She married Mr.. Longmore at
st. Johnsbury, January %, 1878, and
lived in Canada for few months, then
returned to this place, which has since
been her home. For the past seven years,
except for brief period, the family home
has been at the Union House and Mrs
Longmore has been very popular in her
position as landlady. She was hard
working, kind-hearted lady, and het
death has brought genuine sorrow to d
host of those who knew her best. She
leaves besides her husband, three daugh-
ters and a sister who lives at Sooke
British Columbia. The funeral was held
at the Union House, Saturday afternoon,
Rev. A. G. Hussey officiating. There was
a large and beautiful display of flowers.
Among the floral tributes was beauti-
tul piece from Mr.. Longmore's fellow
workmen at the granite shops and a
boquet from Miss Clara Davenport OF
the Rockwell Dramatic Company, who
was a guest at the Union House during
her stays in st. Johnsbury. The burial
was in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.

A Summers Frost Recalled.

Eugene Cowles, the Vermont baritone
whose long connection with the Boston
ians" made him famous throughout the
country, made his initial appearance in
vaudeville last week at the Masonic
Temple roof garden in Chicago. He was
greeted by enormous audiences and made
a great hit. He sang Forgotten"
"The Heart Bowed Down" and the
armorer's song from robin Hood"
His salary is $500 per week, for IA
performances - said to be the largest
salary ever paid for like service. This
is the singer who came to st. Johnsburv
two summers ago and sang the same
songs and several others, before what
was probably the smallest audience ever
gathered in Music hall. About 80, as we
remember it, were present.

Sherbrooke's Fair.

The problem for providing space for
the many new exhibitors in the main
building has been difficult one for the
directors in charge for number of years
past and the increased demands, which
have already been received this year has
compelled the management to authorize
the removal of the flower and fruit de-
partments from this bnilding to the new
and very commodious hall near the main
dining hall. This latter spacious build
ing has already undergone the altar
ations necessary to accommodate the ex-
hibits in these departments so that the
main building will be henceforth give
mp entirely to the manufacturers, indus
trial and arts department. However,
notwithstanding these changes space is
already at premium.
