kilties Band "Not a Band"

The remarkable and unrivalIed success
attained through it's tours OF the United
States by the famous Kiltcs Band of
Canada has heen marred by but one criti
ciSm, which is made by some of it's riy-
ais among the great touring bands of the
continent. 1.-The Kilties Band is not IL
Band; it is an aggregation of Highland
dancers, singers and bagpipcrS with big
military band thrown i'm is the way one
critic describes it. That The Klties
Band itself compares favOrably with the
best organizations which have ever
toured America is admitted, but it has
struck also the happy idea of varying the
possible monotony of successive band
selections by alternating those numbers
with Scotch reels, filings, sword dances
and hornpipeS, as well as vocal solos and
harmonizcd choruSes, in all of which the
4Sth Highlanders show that Scotch. Cana
dams enlisted In the service of His Maj
esty King Edward VII. are well trained
musicians as well as light of foot. The
novel bare-kneed uniform, the kilt, is
both picturesque and attractive. To most
amuse ment- seekers and music-loverS the
statement that The Kilties are mot n
baud" alone, comes as decid, d recon-
mendatiOn. Certainly the enormous
crowds of enthusiastic Americans who
have cheered the Hiehlanders to the
echo In the 200 American cities already
visited would lead to the impression that
novelty and versatility in Band oonsti-
tute important elements in success. The
Kiltics will appear at Gates Opera House,
White River Junction, Tuesday afternoon,
March 18th.

Politics in the Rutland Railroad
Deal

The Burlington Free Press is un.
duly and without ground agitated at
the supposition that politics gov
erned the selection of Rutland as
the site for the new machine shops
and general offices of the Rutland
railroad. The Free Press is mani
testify not disposed to play fair. 1t
evidently is willing to 60 to any end
to accomplish its desires, which are
to see these railroad enterprises
transferred from Rutland to Bur-
lington. 1t takes as the basis Of its
position despatch sent from Rut-
land or somewhere to the Spring
field Republican which contains
this clause: sit is believed that Dr..
Webb's favor to Rutland is due to
the fact that this end of the state has
favored his candidacy tor the gov.
ernorship, while Burlington has
shown a preference for his oppo-
nent, Gen. J. G. Mccullough"
Upon this as groundwork the Free
Press throws itself into several
kinds of fits and tries to create CAPT.
tai for Burlington by declaring this
despatch to be Il gross insult to DR..
Webb. Rutland News.

other apartment, which is used as a
kitchen, bedroom and living room,
was Mrs. Bell and four children,
the eldest apparently only IL years
old. Everything about the loom
indicated not only poverty but posi-

authority that the deal for the pur-
chase Of the stock OF the Canaua-
Atlantic railway by syndicate of
capitalists headed by Dr.. Seward
v cbb, which was mentioned by the

been blocked. The deal would have
brought about the absorption OF the

A noisy newspaper fight is already
on between Rutland and Burlington
over the promised transfer of the
Rutland railroad shops and offices
to the Marble City. A deal of that
magnitude would hardly be made
on other than purely business
grounds; still, Rutland is recog-
nized as one of the chief battle
grounds for the governorship this
year and DR.. Webb may have par
ticular and important reasons for
wanting to win out. Anyhow, the
affair is distressing diversion to
Rutland, and the intimation that
there is politics in it is repudiated
in columns of scorn.

have fair notice. There will be no

you seem to be looking for. If your
insinuation of trade with d..
Webb is entitled to any reply what
ever, | shall say that it exists only
in your imagination. Not a word
has passed between DR.. Webb and
myself directly or indirectly on the
subject, and this whole question can
be best disposed Of by the old Morse
maxim, evil to him who evil
thinks"
Gen. Grout, then, may again be
candidate for the senate, privi-
lege that he enjoys with other citi-
zens of the state. The prospect,
however, of another senatorial fight
and the consequent decentralization
of the legislature is not altogether
