The convention Of the Caledonia Co.
c. E. Union held at East st. Tohnsbury.
Dec, II, was neofthe best in its history;
not large in numbers, though deep in
earnest purpose and spiritual power.
The opening service, led by DR.. Barnes,
gave the keynote of high Christian stan.
dard of life and service. The secretary's
report shows good work accomplished
along the various lines of Christian En-
deavor activity. The Union numbers IS
societies, with membership of Gil; 81
active and 81 associate members received

umph the county banner, also an added
honor, giving to the Union its new pres

within the past ten years. There has
been S2l3.1S given for missions; S2S9. IS

been transferred to the Young Peoples
society. Two societies support child
III India and Turkey, respectively; anoth-

creasng and deepening interests marked

Wiling to lead the little ones. Miss
Helen L. Graves, for eleven years the sec
rotary and treasurer Of the Union. ten.
dered her resignation, having been called
INTO the larger service and greater re.
sponslblllty. The expressions OF regard
and kindly appreciation were many, and
the convention desired the continuation
OF rVice, with aid of an assistant, the
matter being left in the hands of the
nominating committee.
Appreciatlve commentator should be
made of all the papers and addresses
which were uplifting, helpful and suggest.
i've. The convention sermon, by Rev. H
]. Kilbourne of Bradford, the theme OF
which was conversion, was soul stirring:
the hindrance and help towards which
were clearly and plainly dealt with Miss

happily presented this most interesting
phase of our work. Allwere deeply inter,

in spite OF, the prohbitory law. The
administration of the law may furnish
occasion for the exhibition of the debased
/ conscience and the paralyzed sense oil
right and wrong produced by the drink
habit. So may the administration oil
the high license or any other law. The
prohibitory law has been less violated in
the later years. For 80 years | have
been frequently III the different parts Of
the state and had exceptional opportu-
nifty to know of the extent OF illegal traf-
tic in Intoxicating liquors. Earlym those
years some open bars existed in some
parts OF the state but none during the
later years. There always will be vio-
lators OF any criminal law. Intoxicat-
ing liquors have been secretly sold and
furnished in violation of the law in all
parts of the state. Many ingenious
devices have been resorted to to conceal
the violations from the officers. Officers
have not always administered it wisely
nor efficiently. Neither have they the
law against murder nor other crimes.
They cannot be expected to so long as
they remain impefect human beings.
Their inirmties will necessarily inhere
in the administration of any criminal
law.
The proposed high license local option
law is said to follow very closely the
statute OF Massachusetts on this subject.
Much is said in favor of that law. So
tar as the cities and towns annually vote
no license it is a prohibitory law. In
1895 the Massachusetts Bureau of Stat.
istics OF Labor was authorized to in.
yestigate the relation of the liquor traffic
to paupersm, crime and INSANITY. Some
OF the results of that investigation are
instructive. What is here given is taken
from an article by Frank Foxcroft in the
Atlantic Monthly for October, 1902. He
says: Arrests for drunkenness, per 1000
OF population, were 1924 in the license
towns and cities, and only "a per 1000
OF the population in the no license cities
and towns.

 Some sparks from a yard engine lodged in a pile of ties in the "hoodoo" yard near the coal chute and set fire to them Thursday noon. The fremen ap- piled an abundance of water and soon put out the fire with no greater dam age than lot of badly charred ties.
 There was also a little fire scare re- gently in the home of T. J. McGinty on the south side of the railroad track Mrs. MoGinty started to light a lamp and in so doing accidentily set fire to the fringe of the tablecloth.

THE JUSTICE BUSY
Adjusting the Irregularities of Show
 Day.

Justice Burnett had the busiest day of the season yesterday. The first de- fendant was Frank Lyon, whose coun- tenance was not new in that court or in any other in the city. He had been guilty of drunkenness and disturbance of the peace, which he did not deny. In default of any money for the settle ment of his fine he was sent to the county jail for thirty days
 Ira M. Davis had been charged with
 burglary. He had broken down the door of a house on Monroe street, occu- pied by Antonia Castilla, and had dam aged the furniture. He made show ing, though, that he had been living with the woman, that he had bought the furniture and that the house was as much his as hers. The felony charge against him was accordingly dismissed.
 Bue there had been a disturbance of
 the peace. For this Davis was fined S15.
 The next victim was the worst of all.
 He was a travelling man by the name of J. w Stevens, who makes break almost every time he comes to town. On the way from the Wild West show on Monday night he made nuisance or himself and tried to hug young women to whom he had never been introduced He was fined S3O, which he paid. At tention having been called to him, the authorities remembered that warrant had once been issued for his arrest on a charge of putting worthless checks into circulation. The warrants were vet in the hands of the sherift. He was taken to the court of Justice Gray
 whence the checks had issued. It was found though, that Stevens had long before satisfied the outraged law He had settled with the persons to whom he had given the checks. and hau shown that al the time he had gwen them he though he had money enough in the bank on which they were drawn ] tn meet them.
