Rutland is trembling with excitement.
Last week Rev. g. W. Morrow, president
of the Anti-Saloon League, with an al
legged spotter visited the marble city.
He got the names of parties who own
buildings where liquor is sold, and took
careful survey of the field. The news
leaked out Saturday, and resulted in a
suspension of business, that is of the Ii
quor business. The Herald stated Mon
day that Rutland was dry city Saturday
night, and probably little caution will
be exercised until the Rev. Morrow's
plan of action develops. The druggists,
hotel men, SALOON keepers and guzzlers
are waiting for the firing of the first gun
with palpitating hearts and dry throats.
If Rutland was kept dry one night, the
Anti-SalooOn League has not lived in
vain.

scene, will introduce a great quartet of
singers and depict vivid story of true
New England life. Everywhere that this
play has been presented it has commanded
the strongest endorsement and common
dation of clergymen, school teachers,
and in fact the best minds of the coun-
try.

Mrs. S. w. Wilder, Jr., of Boston, who
is the leading soprano soloist at Inman st.
church, Cambridge, Mass, very kindly
consented to sing at the earnest wish of
Mr.. J. w. Tufts. She has very fine
voice, indeed, full of power, good range,

audience by storm and completely won
