In 1910 occurred one of the greatest
events in social circles that had happened
in Vermont for many years. 1t was the
Bachelors Levee, held at the old Amer
lean hotel in Burlington. Long before
the event came off it was the general
subject of conversation for miles around.
1t is estimated that about 400 people
were in attendance, Nergennes, Middle
bury, Montpelier, Plattsburgh and
keeseville furnishing some of the fairest
stars of the evening. The Burlington
Sentinel, commenting on the occasion,
says Every heart was merry, every
face wreathed in its sweetest smiles,
every lip spoke its fondest words.
Laughter, merriment and song, bright
wine. fair women and brave men,
music and flowers and smiles-all that
could add gladness and beauty to the
occasion, was there" One of the songs
written especially for the occasion by
Hon. l.. f. Chittenden is in the opinion
of the editor one of the best ever written.
1t is as follows:
am a Jolly bachelor,
So hearty, hale and free.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA JOB LOT.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA JOB LOT.
Unless we are mistaken the bunch of
Democrats which 1t is said the admins
traton has secured and set to work to
build up new Republican party in South
Carolina are cheap lot, even at the
small price paid for them, and we shall
be greatly surprised If they accomplish
the purposes of their purchasers. The
most conspicuous is Senator McLaurin,
who, as his colleague I'illman says, was
elected as free trade, free-silver, Bryan
Democrat who was fierce anti-imper-
ialist after the Spanish war; who made
one of the strongest speeches heard in the
senate against the Paris treaty. speech
by the way which it was afterwards
shown he had stolen almost bodily from
a sermon by New York clergyman: who
was in constant cons ultation with the
opponents of the treaty and acted with
them up to the night before it was rat
fled, or until he was "Secn' by some of
its supporters. when he went into the
the senate and voted to ratify it, and
who ever after voted with the Republi-
cans on all measures. His term in the
senate has Dearly expired and as rillm' n,
who controls the party, has declared
against his recollection he naturally bolts
and attemps to build up an organic tton
of his own. His political assets appear
to be, up 70 date the few federal offices
be was given as the price of his apOstasy.
The next man on the list is Hamburg
Butler, the infamous hero and benetici-
airy of the Hamburg massacre. He was
Tillman's predecessor in the senate and
the Democratic leader in the state during
the ku KluX regime. Ever since TILE
man turned him down and took his place
in Washington he has been a sOre-head
and GROWER and has waited for an
opportunity to overthrow his successful
rival He is a Republican aud protect
ionist and eXpansionist now, for spite, as
he was formerly rebel, and then bull
doing force-and-fraud Democrat TO pro-
mote his own interests. After these
come several small fry who have been
given post-mas terships, colectorships
attorney generalships and thereby con-
yerted into radical Republicans.
TO talk about these men being repre-
sentatives of the New South is ridiculous.
To expect them to build up new party
which will command majority of the
votes in that section is foolish. To con-
sent to the Acknowledgement of the col
ored men in order that these soreheads
and place-hunters may have field in
which to organize white mans Repub-
lcan party party is wicked. Ignorant
as most OF them are, we would rather
have party of black men than one CON-
posed of such as will follow McLaurin
and Butler.-Mirror and Farmer.

MISS KINGSLEY'S LAST
SEASON IN VAUDEVILLE

Julia Kingsley and Nelson Lewis,
headliners at the Park Theatre this
week, say this is their last season in
vaudeville. Next season they start out
in a four-act comedy drama called
Along the Mohawk" a rural piece,
the scene of which is laid in the Mo-
hawk Valley. James NJ. Glass is to be
manager and the bookings are being
made now. They will play popular
priced houses.
Miss Kingsley has a new sketch this
week. 1t is called After the Honey
moon" 1t tells the story of dyspeptic
old husband who has married a gay
and buxom woman, the union of win
ter and summer. The husband lives in
fear of being poisoned, having heard
that the brides last husband died from
eating some of her salad. Several fun
ny situations are introduced, and the
sketch has made hit everywhere it
has been produced. Miss Kingsley
made a jump from Indianapolis to
Worcester and goes to New York
next week.

URGE CONGRESS TO
SUPPRESS P0LYGAMY

Washington, Dec. Sat meeting
held here today at the First Congre-
gational Church under the auspices of
the Woman's International Union, a
resolution was adopted indorsing an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hibiting polygamy within the domain
Of the United States and urging the
passage Of a bill with that object in
view by the present congress.
A preamble to the resolution ex-
pressed the belief that polygamy as
taught by the Church of the Latter
Day Saints is still part of their be-
lief and practice and that the laws of
Utah are inadequate to suppress it
and that there is no way by which this
offense can be reached so satisfactorily
as through the constitution of the
United States.
Rev. DR.. Nicco1s, a member of the
Presbyterian Home Mission Board of
New York city, presided. Addresses
were made by Rev. Luther B. Wilson
of Foundry Church, Washington; Rev.
N. f. Clemenson, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at Logan, Utah; Rev.
Powers, pastor Of the Vermont Ave
nue. Church and Rev. A. 4 Fisk all
favoring the proposed amendment.

that Mr.. Billiard is agreeable to all in
terests involved, or that his claim Will
be allowed to stand against that OF
Mr.. Reed of Taunton, who really de-
sires to have the place. Mr.. Reed IS,
of course, a speakership possibility
when Speaker Meyers successor IS
chosen. He would not have remained
in the House through the Myers reglm
had not that idea been in his MIND.
Some think the craftsmanship OF the
railroad committee is not the best place
to take as the stepping-stone to the
speakership, but it should not be for
gotten that it was only last year that
President Soule stepped into the presl-
dency from the same position. B. Z.
Dean of Brookline would cut the knot
of difficulty if he would accept the
Craftsmanship of the committee.
The question of who shall be selected
as the sculptor to design the new
Banks statue is agitating the Execu-
tive Council. During the week designs
have been on exhibition at the state
House from Cyrus E. Dallin Of the
Normal Art School, Cyrus Cobb, an old
friend of Banks; William Ordway Par
fridge. VINO took the death mask of
Banks; and Kitson, the sculptor who
designed the Lexington minute man.
The Partridge design is probably
oueered by the fact that the sculptor
submitted two models. one twice the
size. Then, the Partridge
model is not in the same class with
that of Kitson, whose work is a tri-
umpn in portraiture and effective pos
ing, and is only rivalled by the model
of Dallin, which has a fine pose, and is
a, remarkable conception, but which
lacks the element of likeness to the
Banks who has been in the public eye
within a decade and before, which is
possessed in a great degree by the Kit
son model Mr.. Cobb put less work in
to his design than the others, and,
while it resembles Banks, the theatre
cal element is exaggerated. It does not
take much Of prophet to forecast the
selection of the Kitson model.

Especial Political Correspondence
Boston, Dec. 8.-Municipal politics
this year are illustrating the fact that
they are not subject to the rules which
apply to a state or national campaign.
Were party lines absolutely drawn,
one could say positively that Collins
would be the next mayor of Boston,
and he could likewise be positive that
the defeat of Hart would only be by
a very few thousands and these being
all Democratic votes. But when one
finds Republicans shouting for Collins,
and at the same time knows that a
great many Democrats are very sure
to vote for Hart, it makes the situa-
ton doubtful and he can only say
that 1t seems to be in the air that
Hart will be defeated, and add that it
should never be forgotten that defeat
Fas been prophesied for him in other
times when he has won. A shrewd pol
ltical observer talking to the writer
the other day, said that 1t did not APP
pear to him that there was any gin
ger in the Hart campaign, and he add
ed that in other years the point was
not that Hart won, but that his oppon-
ent was defeated. Thus in the last
municipal campaign, he thought that
it was clear that the board of strategy
was defeated, while Oh another occas-
ion O'Brien was defeated through the
victory of Hart. He alleged that no
strong candidate had ever been thrown
down by Hart.
However. everybody this way seems
pleased at the success of Mayor Bah
bitt in Fitchburg, while the reelection
of MaVOr French in G1Oucaster with
the Republican candidate standing
third in the race, looks strange enough
in the face Of the fact that in the state
election there was not enough of
Democratic organization to nominate
candidates for the General Court Pro-
phecies of the defeat of Mayor Dimon
in Lowell are frequently heard, and in
dications of lively fights in some other
cities are plentiful.

A funny runor is abroad that a con-
ISOLATION prize is to be offered Senator
Luscombe of the Cape. defeated by w.
A. Nye Of Bourne, in the shape Of a
place on the board OF railroad commits
sioners. This place, 1t is claimed, was
being held for him until the expiration
Of his term of service next year. It is
doubtful If the railroad commission
was ever stronger than it is today.
Chairman Jackson was placed upon it
after he had several times refused a
judgeship, and he conducts the hear
ings Of the commission very much af-
ter the manner of a court, only taking
occasion to remind the lawyers that it
is nothing of the sort when they seek
to take technical advantage of an op-
pOnent. The business member of the
board is Clinton White of Melrose,
transferred from the harbor and land
commission within a year, who has be-
mind him practically every important
business and commercial interest of
Boston. The probability of a man who
is in the grocery business in Falmouth
unseating either Chairman Jackson, an
eminent lawyer, or Commissioner
White, looks exceedingly slim. The
third member of the board. Mr.. Bish
op, represents the railroad employees.
and should he be retired some man
who has a practical knowledge of rail-
reading would have to succeed him.
And speaking of railroads leads to
the consideration of the vexed question
of who shall be chairman of the rail-
road committee. 1t has already been
stated that the fsvorite candidate of
the President is Senator Blodgett of
Leominster, and the presidents wish
should naturally settle the matter. But
Senator Blodsett is ranking member oe
the committee on ways and means, and
It IS not a strange thing, considering
the stand the committee has taken
while Treasurer Bradford and Senator
Post have been its cnairmen that he
should prefer TO become chairman Of
that. Those most Interested insist that
BlOdgett will be at the head of the rail-
road committee, but others who think
they know the senator's mind. say he
will be chairman os ways and means.
and the fact that the president has not
very long ago been casting about for a
chairman Of the railroad committee
lends color to the statement. The House
craftsmanship is still IN doubt. While
Mr.. Billiard Of Newton will naturally
gravitate to the place, from the fact
that ne is ranking member. his name
cannot be fully decided upon until it is
known from what section the Senate
chairman is to come; and moreover,
there is little in the gossip to indicate
