An interesting libel suit in the county
court at Montpelier is that in connection
with the Barre anarchists, brought by
G. Mizlierni He caused the arrest of G.
B. FIuzetti as the author of a signed ar
ticle which appeared in an Italian news
paper in Spring Valley, ILL.,, and which
circulates in Barre. This article, accord
ing to the plaintiffs claim, insinuates il
it does not openly state, that the plain
tiff was bought up by the state to testify
in the cases against the anarchists tried
last spring for shooting Chief of Police
Patrick Brown. Mizlierni is the janitor
of the socialist hall in Barre and was one
OF the chief witnesses in the trial of Ber-
naco and Guisseppeini. Frazetti is in
Jail not having secured bail. The sum
sued for is $4,000.

Wedding In the Philippines.

In recent letter Paul S, Carter gives
the following description of a native
wedding in the Philippines. Yesterday
Prof. Worcester invited us to go over to
Mariveles and see the Negrotes, an abo-
riRinal people there. In the party were
U. S. Senator Diedrichs OF Nebraska, and
daughter; Prot. Todd, wife and daugh-
ter from Amherst; Prof Worcester aud
myself. We took launch across the bav
and out into the Pacific, four hours
steam each way, and tramped through
mud three inches deep into the woods to
a Negrote wedding and dance. All the
men had on was narrow strip of cloth
called "gee string" and, would you
believe it, one of them had on paper
collar buttoned to a mole on his neck,
and also a plug hat. They danced
around and drank veno, and then came
the wedding, which in simple description
is that the groom steals the bride and the
thing is done. The family of the bride
keep her in a separate place, away from
the groom. The groom is kept in sepa-
rate place by his family or friends. In a
little while the prospective bride is car
red up steep incline OF twigs or boughs
onto platform, and, supposedly, atten-
ton is distracted from the bride, and
while thus distracted the groom, with a
great howl, breaks away from his friends
and family, runs up onto the platform
with the bride, and the marriage is over.
Senator Diedrich distributed wedding
gifts in the shape Of handfuls of Mexican
dollars.

A Foot Bail Victory.

The second game of the season was
played here Saturday and the Academy
team defeated the eleven from Brigham
academy by the score of 81 to 5. Seve-
raj changes had been made by Captain
Pierce and Coach Burroughs since the
unsatisfactory showing in the Newbury
game and to remedy the weakness in the
line, Higgins played tackle and B. Moore
centre. This braced up the line and made
possible the team play which resulted in
victory.
The interest in Saturdays game was
heightened by the fact that Bakersfield
scored first. Shortly after the start oil
the playing a tumbled punt gave them a
chance to fall on the ball behind St. rs
goal posts for touchdown, and the
score stood: Bakersfield, 5; St. ]. A., O.
Heath failed to kick goal.
By good team play and the individual
efforts of Rauney, the ball was soor
landed behind the goal line. Score, St. +
A., S; Bakersfield, s. H. Pierce failed to
to kick goal. After this the result was
never in doubt. .-.
The conspicuous part OF the game was
the work of the st. Johnsbury tackles
Higgins and Ranney. They were all
over the field and in every play. The
great steadiness of B. Moore at center
should also be mentioned. The merit o.
the game, however, rested in the develop.
ment of team play.
The team seems to be learning the les.
son that there should be eleven men in
every play, and if they do not suffer from
the over confidence that too easily
earned victory often causes, they will
surely give good account of themselves
in the future.
