case against Victor Blotto was mol
dressed and the liquor seized from
respondent ordered to be returned.
States Attorney Hoar said he should
probably ask that the cases from No.

Gus reasons. The case against Rose

continued. The famous case of
State " Levi M. Johnson was mol
pressed. Mr.. Johnson was charged

greed. The case against Odule Gill
bert charged with an assault with
intent to kill was mol pressed for the
reason that the respondent had been
trieu some time since for the same
offence at Barre (town), on a charge
of breaking the peace. Mol PROSE-
proceedings were entered in the case
against Ira Kicker of Groton charged
with cruelty to animals, on the
grounds that the civil suit, Kicker V.
Demeritt, which grew out of this

COL. H. r. STOUGHTON.

The family of Col. Homer R.
Stoughton of Barre were shocked on
Wednesday evening by receiving the
announcement of the sudden death at
the home of H. G. Houghton, his
brother, at Otsego, Mich For some
time past Mr.. Stoughton had been in
i'll health and about week ago left
for Michigan, with Mrs. Stoughton.
On Wednesday letter was received
from him by one of his sons announc-
ing that his condition was much i'm
proved. Heart failure is supposed to
be the cause of death.

and highly esteemed, having been

by the Grand Trunk, since which

Barre. He would have been sixty
six years of age in November. He
was born in Quechee and from the
age of seventeen until the present day,
with the exception of eight years in
Alabama and the time spent i'll the
Union army during the Civil War,
had been a constant employee of the
Central Vermont railway. In Sept
ember, 1861, he raised company of
sharpshooters and served with gallant
ry throughout the war He partici-
parted in many engagements and was
captured and taken prisoner at
Petersburg He was confined in the
rebel prison pens at Bacon, Charles
town and Columbia, S. @.
His railroad career was begun as
section hand at South Royalton, and
he was afterward SUCCESSFULLY station
agent at Randolph, Palmer, Mass.
and New London, Conn, leaving the
latter place to become general manag-
er of the Shelby, Ala, Iron Works.

The wide staircase divides at the first

on each side to the dressing rooms
which are, or will be, provided with
every convenience, already including
the handy little lockers for wraps.
Underneath the staircase are other

o'clock and delicious, indeed, were
the coffee, sandwiches and salads and
the cream and cake. The good cheer
was dispensed with lavish hand,
the gentlemen were provided bounti-
fully with solace in the shape Of
cigars At intervals during the after
noon, strains of sweet orchestral music
t1oated down the stairway, while mirth
and jollity reigned supreme. The
evening hours were devoted to social
chat but the plea for little dancing
was not ignored, so those who cared
to do so INDUCED in their favorite
pastime.
The departing guests were lighted
from the grounds by a huge bonfire
and small torches outlined the path
way from the hill. Turning for
a farewell look, this pretty illumina-
ton was seen at its best just as the
moon, after struggle with the
clouds, peeped through for the first
time that evening If good wishes
and prosperous one, it would be as
cess, believing it may be the source
of much enjoyment.

DENTISTS MAY CHANGE RATES.

There was conference of dentists in New Haven Saturday evening at which a proposition to have dentists of the state of Connecticut establish q system of prices for service, to be rated by the hour, was discussed Dr Strang of New Haven read a paper on "The Dentist and His Finances. which was q sort of climax to the recent talk among the profession in which system of charging patients by the hour has been discussed The significance of the discussion which followed was that before many months the State Dental association will adopt q system whereby the dentists will adopt rate of compen- sations to be determined by the num- Der of hours spent on any one case. This will take the place of the present method of charging for case ill bulk, and will, it was pointed out at the conference, result directly ill absolute ly conscientious work on the part of the doctors.

A BEAR MOTHERS LOVE.

The instances recorded of the alfec- tion shown by these bears for their young are somewhat pathetic. Once an explorers ship was locked in the Arctic ice, when q she bear and her two cubs made their way there. They had been attracted by the scent Of the blubber of a walrus the crew had killed a few days before. Scurryilg to the fire the trio pulled off some of the wal rus flesh which remained unoonsumed. The crew then threw them large Jumps of flesh which were lying on the ice, which the old bear fetched away sin gly and laid before her cubs as she brought, it dividing it, and giving each a share, while reserying but small portion for herself.
 As she was bearing away the last piece sailors shot both of the cubs dead and wounded the mother. AL though she could only just crawl 10 he place where the cubs lay, she carried the lump of flesh she had last fetched away and laid it before shem; and when she saw that they refused to eat laid her paws upon them and tried to raise them up, moaning pitifully When she found she could not stir them she went to some distance and looked back. then returning and paw ing them all over again. Finding a; last that they were lifeless, sle rnisel her head toward the ship anu uttered growl, loping off then across the ice

Several Quarrels Settled Up Before
 Judge Burpee To-day.
 Our foreign relations" occupied an hour and half of Judge Burpee's val uable time in the city court this morn ing. Angelo Petroria was charged with striking his fellow countryman, Mike Zaponi, with a bottle on the head, inhicting an ugly wound. Cards was the cause of the quarrel. Half a dozen Italians testified fayorably to the accused They said that they did not see 'the fight between the accused and accuser, but continued their game of cards. Judge Burpee said it was not human nature to sit by while a fight was going on. Even the most phlegmatic European could not do this, and he fined the accused $15 and costs.
 Armin Schonliber and Bernard Ores sel got into row in a saloon on South Main street yesterday over Germans and Jews. Schonliber belongs to the latter race and Dressel to the former. Dressel was running down the Hebrew race with all the eloquence of a half drunken tongue. He was particularly offensive to Schonliber and tried to strike him with q bottle. Schonliber thereupon wrested the bottle from him and struck him on the head. It was Sehonliber's first time in court, where as Dressel has been there many a time. sentence was suspended.
 Albert Honn pleaded guilty to theft of coat and vest, silver watch and chain, Forester's pin and a bicycle, all valued at $40. John Messmer, the owner, testified against him. Honn was fined $40 and costs and sentenced to three months in jail. John Donovan was fined $1O and costs for resistance.

BETTER SERVICE CERTAIN
Under Arrangement Letting Mail
Hauling Contract to a Local
Liveryman.

, Postmaster Hale and his assistants are
much pleased with the recent announce
ment that the contract for carrying mails
in wagons between the Minneapolis post
office and railroad stations or sub, postal
stations has been awarded to Charles b.
Dickens. the local liveryman
There should be a great improvement
in the service after July 1, next said
a postal official this morning Mr..
Dickens contract will begin then. He
was the successful bidder some years ago
and the work was performed admirably,
His contract is for four years at the
rate Of $1,000 a year. @&
Until now any man, no ma tier in what
part of the union he might live, could
get: wagon contract In Minneapolis.
Chicago, or any other city, if his bed was
otherwise satisfactory. So big syndicates
have been f1ourishing at Washington by
taking contracts for wagon deliveries
all over the country. These syndicates
could afford to make a low bid In each
case, as they never expected to do the
work themselves. They would merely
Sublet the contract to somebody living
in the CITY where the service was to be
performed. The local contractor had to
be satisfied with a very small compensa
ton. He couldn't afford to get proper
horses. although he had to supply wagons
| that answered certain specifica tions. He
couldn't afford to hire capable drivers
He would get mere boys - ..f.
But the department has now estab-
lshed a rule that contracts for Wagon
service shall be awarded to local bidders
only. Mr. Dickens probably receives
three times as much as he would under
bodied horses and competent drivers
Well probably get as prompt service after
| July l as he gave us before. Business
men will notice the change" -.
