Architect Cervin is completing
plans for new residence which H.

in the winter of 1900 and ruined.

have been making their home at 1927
Fifth avenue, but as soon as the resi-

into it. When the work will be COM

doubt be started the latter part of
this summer. The house is to be a
two-story frame one, two sides of
which will be surrounded with
porches and terrace porches, so that
a good view can be had of the beau
tiful scenery spread below the brow
of the hill. The second story will
probably be finished in shingles. The
plan of the building is of the latest
style and the perspective as now
completed is handsome, having mas

the porches, and other stately deco

Dear to the Hamadryads and TO Pan

Fragile in form as leaf or bloom can be-

Choicest of floral woodland mysteries

Blushing to find its cool retreat betrayed,
The loved Dicentra. hidden from sun and

Perennial comes all beauty TO defy.
Thick-jeweled wonder of the mold of

Arrayed in costume of a sort so rare
That queens for it might well in tears
Neighbored by stalwart beech and priest

Important Cases Of O'Bren g. Sheehan,
Contractors, and the Champlain Con.

iHpOItdHt OdSSS VI ~ OlISn " OuSSHdni
Contractors, and the champlain Cen.
struction Company,
One of the most important cases
that has come before the United
States court in the Vermont district
in recent years is now being argued
before Judge II. II. Wheeler in the
Brooks House. There are really two
cases in one, being those of OBrien
& Sheehan against the Champlain Con-
struction company and the Champlain
Construction company against O'Brien
& Sheehan. The Champlain Construc-
ton company is in effect the Rutland
Railroad company The company
placed a contract with O'Brien & Shee-
han to construct a rOad-bed from Bur
lington to- Rouse's Point n. Y. and the
contractors were to have the work
completed at a certain date. working
by specifications furnished by the com
panv. The company was to advance
money from time to time with which
to carry on the work. At the eXpira-
ton of the time limit the work was
not completed and the company ex-
tended the time. Subsequently the
time was extended again. OBrien
& Sheehan claimed that the amount
of work required was very much more
than the specifications called for and
that the expense was consequently
much greater. for which reason they
asked the company to advance a
greater amount of money than was
agreed upon which the company would
not do. At length O'Brien & Sheehan
stopped work and the company took
--sN g ,1n 4 ts@I
the Job.
O'Brien e Sheehan then brought
suit to recover for work done and the
company brought suit for breach of
contract. Many claims are made by
both sides. the suits involving about
S750000. The greater part of the
past year has been taken up in prep
aration for the case. The case came
before Judge Wheeler Monday for the
final argument. Mr. Sheehan was
present with his attorneys. T. w.
Moloney of Rutland and A. A. Hall of
St. Adams. The Rutland Railroad
company was represented bv it's gen
eral counsel, Frederick H. Button of
Rutland. and his brother. w. II. Button.
Counsel for the company asked for a
continuance on account of the Illness
of w. B. C. Stickney of Bethel, who is
also counsel for the company. but the
request was denied. Frederick H.
Button began the argument for the
company Monday and has been talking
seven hours a day ever since. When
he finishes his opening argument Mr..
Moloney will begin the argument for
the contractors. after which Mr. But
ton will make the closing argument.
Mr.. Sheehan is John c. Sheehan the
well-known opponent of Richard Gro
ker. New York's Tammany chief. and
is the leader of what is known as the
County Democracy.

Two Points Well Taken.
[From the sd. Albans Messenger. ]

From the st. Adams Messenger
General Mccullough has been an avow-
ed candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for governor for four long years,
and in all that time should have come
pretty near reaching the highest point in
his support that he could ever expect to
gain. If he has not already secured dele
gates enough td win the next few weeks
are not likely to help him any. Think of
that when men tell you that his cause is
growing. IT will he something of a phe-
nomenon in politics If a four years cam
vass begins to grow in its last eleven
weeks. Meanwhile. moreover. 1t is well
to bear in mind that Proctor, the new
candidate. can naturally expect that his
support will be steadily on the increase
from now until the day of the state con-
Vention, because he will not have been in
the field long enough by that time to have
gone past the high water mark that
comes in the canvass of every man if
II lasts long enough.
General Mccullough comes into this
campaign under handicap from the
start. His friends are obliged to prove
that he is a bona fidc Vermonter. They
may, they do. sniff at the suggestion that
there can be any doubt as to that. but
they keep Juggling in the testimony just
the same. column after column of It.
Would they be so serious about 1T. would
they pile up dates and details with such
amazing industry If they did not know
that the whole state Of Vermont was
putting them to the proof? Where you
see n campaigner massng his artillery,
there YOU may know he recognizes his
weak point and is expecting a fight. And
II Is one of the ironies of this canvass
that the more the Mccullough men strug-
gle to establish public confidence in the
character and identity Of the citizenship
of their candidate, the more convincing
nrOpf thqN rive ia thp observer that thpra
is grave need of 1t. 1t is noticeable that
the issue presented to the Mccullough
men Is. not the fitness of their candidate
for the governorship but his eligibility.
Neither of these qualities is questioned in

THE ATHLETIC CARNIVAL.
Two Exciting Games of Basket Ball,
Baton Drill, Tumbling, etc, Made Up
the Program Saturday Evening.

The local basket ball players wound
up their season with an athletic car
nival" at the Retreat Saturday evening.
In the first game the guards of the regular
team were pitted against the forv ards,
and the subs and second team were used
to complete the teams. The men played
each other very closely and put up
fast game. The feature of the game was
l.angtlle's luck in locating the baskets.
Il seemed to be impossible for him to miss
them. e. Cundif threw four baskets for
the forwards and got into the team work
in his usual good style. Ferriter and
Monroe played each other very closely,
but the former had an unusual run OF
hard luck in shooting and could only get
one basket out of many shots. Score,
guards %, forwards 10.

OIL OF The EOID.

The setting of "Out of the Fold" which
is to be given at the Auditorium, is said
to present some unusual features of stage
realism. The play has in it real river,
with bubbles and stepping stones, and the
scenery necessary to make this effect pos
sible is said to be unique. Instead of rum
ming parallel with the footlights, this
river runs directly toward the audience
from the back centre of the stage. A
bend to lead II 'off stage" is hidden by
a bank of cat-tails and high grass. The
mechanical devices involved are very in
genious.
