Hardie's Portrait Of Washington

! A striking portrait of George Wash
ington as a Freemasou, by Robert Cor
don Hardie, the noted portrait painter
of Brattleboro. was unveiled by En-
basSador Choate in London. Friday, a.
noted in dispatches. This portrait has
not been exhibited in America. The
face is from Gilbert Stuarts best
known portrait. ard Washington is rep
resented in the regalia of master of his
lodge-a blue watered silk sash, purple
color, apron and black velvet coat and
breeches. standing with a garel in his
right hand, resting on the Bible, which
is supported by a marble column. The
background is of blue velvet. There is
colonial chair in an upper corner,
bearing Washington arms The re
gala were copied from the originals in
Philadelphia. The apron was given to
Washington by the wife of the marquis
de Lafayette.
The presentation was made in the Ii
brary of the grand lodge. The earl of
Warwick. in welcoming Mr.. Choate.
spoke of Washington's faithfulness to
the craft. He told of number of oc-
casions when Washington captured
Masonic treasures from the British,
and said he had always returned them.
The earl said the presence of the paint
ing in the grand lodge was another
proof of the cordiality which was
cementing England to America. Mr.
Choates reply was devoted to an expo
sition of the respect and reverence in
which the name of Washington was
held in England and Europe. He con-
graduated the grand lodge on having
Washington as its patron saint. He
trusted that Washington's memory
would be cherished in England, as it /
would be in America, till the end of
time

ARE CHOSEN CANDIDATES FOR TOWN
REPRESENTATIVE.

Former Has Been Chosen by the Democrats
and License Men and the Latter Will Run
on the Straight Republican Ticket Results
of Saturdays Caucuses Locally Justice
Ticket Nominated
1t was the expected which happened
at Saturdays caucuses. Clarke c. Fits
was placed in nomination as candidate
for town representative by the Repub-
licans and DR.. James Conland was
made the candidate of the Democrats
and the High License Local Option
club. The Republican caucus was held
in Festival hall and the voting was
done by ballot, the polls being open
| from , until 6 O'Clock. This method
was due partly to allow the license men
chance to nominate a candidate in
the caucus and partly to get at the Re-
publican strength on the town repre-
sentative question The total vote at
the end of the four hours was l32, all
! for Mr.. Fits.
/ The Democrats met in Festival hall
at o. clock, about 80 being present. III.
B. Haus was chairman and Arthur c.
Spencer, secretary. After the meeting
had been called to order K. 5. Childs
nominated DR.. Conland for town rep
resentatiye. saying that he was man
who had won out in the past against
united opposition and was able to do
so again. Mr. Childs' nomination was
greeted with much applause and j, j.
Eckels fastened to second the name of
DR.. Conland who was nominated by ac
clamation. a. W. Roel then argued
strongly for the need of unity of move
ment in the campaign. w. H. Childs
moved that a committee be appointed
by the chair to cooperate with the
town committee in the management of
the campaign and it was so voted. Il.

Not the Merry Ha. Ha! OF Yore.

! The members of the Young Mems Re
1 publican club are not singing paeans
of JOY these days. Not much. The Y.
NJ. Il. c. was not organized for any
such purpose. 1t is a purely philan
thropic organization, and its members
are devoting their lives TO carrying on
the good work of converting the unre-
generate and keeping them in line
while incidentally getting in line
themselves. That the organization
has done slathers of good work every
one in Brattleboro knows. That they
have done lots of hard work is unques-
toned, and that they are doing etfec-
tive work-well, just watch them and
see for yourself. You remember how
they did at Jamaica. Marlboro, London
derry, Wilmington and scores of other
towns and brought them into line for
Proc or was it Clement? You will
please observe how they are working
now in the smaller towns of the county
and you can rest assured that their
work will be effective. They are as
tute politicians and are fulfilling a
mission on the earth. That they know
a thing or two is evidenced by the fol-
lowing extract taken from a circular
letter sent out this week
1T is an understood fact that the
regular Republican county ticket is in
danger, and there must be a strenuous
effort put forth to prevent defeat at
the polls. -
To think that these young gentlemen,
only in the knee pant stage of politics
should actually have discovered that
the Republican county ticket is in dan
ger Is it not truly marvellous: Where
could they have unearthed this astound- /
ing piece of evidence which they are 1
broadcast Could they have /
overheard it from some thoughtless 4
Democrat and did their older col /
eagues entrust them with the secret: I
Oh No. The Y Rs. are not mere par
'ots. They are not talking from here
;ay. They know whereof they speak. /
They have grasped the situation. They
ire putting it before the public in its
rue light. Men of Windham, the Re-
publican county ticket is in danger. 1t
must be so, the Y. NJ. r. c. tells you.

In the ballot for this congressional
district the name of Kittredge Has
kins, the present incumbent. does not
appear on the Local Option ticket, as
that party held no district convention
and so has no candidate. His vote
therefore may suffer considerably. with
a chance of the election going to Har-
ris Miller of West Farlee. the Demo-
cratic candidate, should enough of the
local optionists vote the straight tick
ct and fail to write in the name of
Haskins. The tellers whose duty will
he to count these ballots are not to be
envied their task

ASSOCIATION TEAM GIVEN A FRIGHT.
Narrowly Escape Defeat at the Hands Of
the Wheel Club Who Take a Decided Brace
in the Last Inning Club Men Play Bette,
Ball and Make More Hits.

/ The \. NJ. {. \. ran up against the
Wheel club for the third time Wednes-
day afternoon and so narrowly escaped
being beaten the rubber game that the
rooters for the association nearly had
heart disease. Up to the eighth in
ming the score stood o. in favor of
the \. NJ. c. A.. but in the first of
the eighth the association men thought
to cinch matters by making three runs.
The club men could not be shaken,
however, and also scored three times
in this inning In the first of the
ninth Monroe scored for the y. NJ c.
A., receiving a pass to first. stealing
two bases and coming on Ferriter's
two Dagger before Tufts retired the
side. This left the score 80 aud most
OF the people on the grand stand began
to leave the grounds, Corser was first
to bat and he pounded handsome sin
gle. Turner followed suit with anoth-
err over the shortstops head and Tas-
ker made a third which scored Corser.
Turner also attempted to tally but was
caught out at home. Tasker was then
given second on balk and went to
third on Stevens error which allowed
]. Tasker his base. Cox then ham
mered out a single which scored Tas-
ker and sent J. Tasker to third. With
only one out and two men on bases it
looked very much as if the Wheel club
would even matters if not win out. but
Monroe, who went into the air the first
of the inning, took brace enough so
that Waite went out Oh pop fly and
Cooley famed out.
In spite of their defeat the Wheel
club team showed up extremely well
and on the whole played better ball
than their opponents. Waite was I'M
able TO throw bases accurately, a fact .
which helped the association team .
greatly, and March scored three times .
IN passed balls which came very near

ON THE FRONT SEAT.
DUNHAM BROTHERS AND Y, NJ, c. A,
STILL RIDE TOGETHER
shoemen Jump Into the Lead Again Saturday
by Defeating the Wheel Club 1873 -Wearers
Of the Purple and White Do Not Score After
the Third Inning Errors at Critical Times
Give Dunhams the Needed Runs.

Durham Brothers climbed into the
front seat with the Y NJ. c. \. Satur-
day by winning their game from the
Wheel club, the score being 12-S. 1t
was no such walk-over for the shoe
men as on the previous Saturday for
on the whole the wearers of the pur-
pie and white played good baseball
Errors at critical times were what lost
the game. In the opening inning with
man on first Corser mutfed an easy
liner on second and lost fine chance
for a double play, both men scoring
later in the inning. In the third in
ming with two gone Cooley dropped a
fly in right field, allowing L. Ellis and
Dunlevy to score; and in the seventh
inning Williamson muffed fly from
the bat of C. Ellis after two men were
out, giving Dunlevy another chance to
tally. Aside from these mistakes at
the wrong time the club men played
very good ball although after the third
inning they hit Ellis only three times
and did not score run. The shoemen
took the lead in the seventh inning.
Reed at first and Tucker in center
played well for the shoemen in the
field while Stowell led the batting
with three hits out of five times at
bat Tasker at shortstop fielded clean
ly fol- the Wheel club and hit the ball
three times for total of four bases.

\ shining example of what is some
times called Goldfish aristocracy" was
shown at Pine Grove Springs, Spot
ford lake, the first of the week in the
treatment of a baseball team which
went from here to play with a nine
representing that resort. The agree
ment seems to have been that the Wis
iting players should receive money
equivalent to their expenses and sup
per, although the exact bill of fare
was not stipulated when the agreement
was made At the close of the game
the visitors began to wonder about
something TO eat and one whose pangs
of hunger Overcame his patience gen
tly limited that something in the way
of nutriment would be acceptable.
With a look of pain and surprise on
the face of the speaker the announce
ment was made that the boys could
not go into the dining room then be
cause it was supper time but they
were told that if they would 90 around
by the kitchen sandwiches and milk
would be dispensed in liberal quaint
ties. In spite of the temptation which
the adjective liberal had for the hungry
men they Immediately came to the
conclusion that they had outlived their
usefulness at that part of the lake and
went to another hotel where strange as
it may seem they were allowed to enter
the dining room. The Meddler Is not

Abreast of the rapid advance which
has been made in methods of locomo-
ton during recent years Brattleboro
people have become SO used to automo-
biles that the ordinary type has ceased
to be "the cynosure Of all eyes, but
there are a few horses in this neighbor-
hood whose sense of propriety is still
outraged at the sight of steam or
gasolene wagon. It's not fair to place
the blame entirely on the horse because
he objects to the uSurpation of the
highway it may be that he has fears
of being driven out of business. But
people who are inclined to cuss those
who are lucky enough to be able to
own machine should bear in mind
that the auto is no longer an expert
men but a practical means of convey
ance. Now that it has come to stay
owners of Directing equines should
make the best of the situation and try
to reconcile their horsetlesh to the in
evitable. Every respectable chauffeur
will stop his machine when the driver
of an unruly horse signals by raising
his hand, and in this manner the most
vicious animal will gradually learn
that the putting snorting incarnation
which charges him from in front and
rushes by from behind has no evil in
tentions and desires only its share of
the road.

THE MEDBnER.
"If the coat ITS put it on"

So many people have been talking
lately about the "botch" which Road
Commissioner Eames has made Of the
new. road on Main street hill that the
Meddler took occasion the other day
to examine the records of the March
meeting of 1901 in regard to the resolu-
tion which was passed at that time
concerning this part of the highway.
1t seems that at that meeting the Sc
lectmen and road commissioner We're
instructed ito pave Main street from
the bridge to Elliot street" and a
special tax of ten cents was levied to
pay for this and the new sewer which
has already been laid. But Main street
has not been paved in any sense of the
word. 1t has been macadamized in
such way that two or three inches of
mud cover its surface most of the time
and make it the wettest piece of high
way in town.
