Pntsy's Tongue Stuck Fast.

from the InllaQelpnl1 itcCOru
Patsy McChrein, ten years old, son OF
John McChrein, who lives at No. 136 Lock
street, started out for a walk last evening.
After visiting several down town stores
he started across South Washington street
bridge. The night was clear and cold and
frosty. Patsy stopped on the bridge and
looked up and down the canal. Then he
cautiously pushed the end of his tongue out
Of his mouth and against the polished iron
hand rail of the bridge. The tongue stuck
fast and Patsy shouted and screamed.
James Conley, who has a stove and hard
ware store at the south end of the bridge,
heard Patsy's screams and ran to his as
sistance, but did not know what to do. He
was followed by a motherly old lady, who
looked at Patsy and exclaimed:
BLESS the dear child; bring some cold
water, pour 1t on the tongue and iron. and
the frost will let 60.
Conley got the water. poured it on. and
in an instant Patsy was free. But DIR.
Warfeld, who was summoned by Patsy 5
father, says that skin must be grated on
Patsy's tongue as he lost part of 1t during
his struggle to free himself.

The members of the Central Reformed

engaged in a bitter legal and social con-

One faction in the church applied recently
for an Injunction to restrain him from
preaching in Dutch. The application was
denied. the judge being of opinion that he
lacked Jurisdiction. The same faction then
tried to gain the desired result by bringing
a suit based on the theory that the pas

for the relief Of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been pouL

is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season Of suffer-

THE PAN-AMERIoAN EXPOSITION
May Yet Advertise Vermont with the
Other States.

The legislature of Vermont having
refused to appropriate any money for
Vermont's representation at the Pan
American exposition at Buffalo next
summer, a goodly number of the rep
resentative men of the state respond
ed to an invitation sent out by Gov.
Stickney and met him Thursday OF
last week at the state house to see
what could be done to have Vermont
represented.
Gov Stickney acted as chairman of
the meeting and Col. 9. 5. Forbes of
st. Adams as secretary.
The sense OF the meeting appeared
to be strongly in favor of accepting
the invitation to have the state repre-
sented at the exposition by having a
room in the New England states
building and fitting it with an ex-
hibit which should be distinctively
representative Of Vermont.
Vermont's portion of the expense
in the construction ofsuch building
was estimated TO be $4,000, and it
was estimated that the additional ex-
pense OF an exhibition would increase
the amount to "a, 500 or s., 900.
An organization was effected as
follows: Pres, Gov. w. w. Stickney;
vice presidents, Lieut.. Gov. Allen and
Speaker Proctor; sec., Chas. S. Forbes
of st. Adams; treas. w. w. Brock Of
Montpelier. The governor is to APP
point one person from each county to
form the executive committee.
1t was voted to have $1,000 raised
by subscription and that each men,
Der of the executive committee have
charge of the getting of the proper
tionate amount from his county.
Three thousand dollars of this money
will be expended for the building
and the balance as a state historical
exhibit and for advertising Vermont
as a summer resort.
Olin Merrill of Enosburgh Falls
was appointed to see about the plans
for the building.
