The Town Caucus.

The republican caucus for the nomina-
ton of officers will be held at the town
hall Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Present indications are that there will be
lively contests over some OF the offices,
principally those of selectmen and listers.
In regard to the selectmen there seems to
be a strong sentiment in favor of the old
board, which consists OF E. P. Potter, {.
c. FoIlensby and H. H. Carr. 1t is said,
however, that St. Johnsbury Center peo-
pie feel that they are entitled to mem
Der of the board from that vicinity this
year, and in this connection the names
of George H. Morrill,, Wesley Sargent,
Albert T. Evans and Myron D. Park
have been mentioned.
1t is anticipated that there will be a
contest over the board OF listers. The
old board, which consists of D. M. Bacon
O. S. Abbott aud w. S. Russell, will
stand Tor reelection, with the exception
Of Mr.. Russell, who has declined to be-
come a candidate. Among Others men
toned for this board we have heard the
names of David Frechette, A. L. Bragg,
Dennis E. May, William Higgins and E.
P. Potter. The ever-mportant duties of
the board of listers are rendered more i'm
portant this year on account of the
quadrennial appraisal which will be made.
He can learn of no opposition to L. Sui
loway as overseer of the poor, George k.
Crosby as constable and collector HOf-
ace Jackson as road commissioner, E. D.
Blodgett as clerk and treasurer, or to L.
P. Slack as town agent. The caucus
should, and doubtless will, call out a
LARGE nrOnortion Of the voters in town.

When vanishing wood, the work
must be done in warm room at tenn
perature of at least IS degrees F. At a
lower temperature the moisture in the
air will give d milky and cloudy ap-
pearance to the varnish. On the other
hand, at the higher temperature the
moisture is not precipitated until the
alcohol of the varnish has sufficiently
evaporated to leave a thin smooth film
of shellac. The durability and gloss are
dependent on this.

In the middle ages founders and
patrons of ecclesiastical buildings be-
gan to be buried nearer and nearer to
the fabric of the church or cathedral.
First the porch, then the cloister, then
the chapter house or chantry, came
under demand; the chancel was next
encroached upon, and lastly burials
were allowed under the altar itself. At
the other extreme of custom was the
burial Of malefactors and stillborn
children on the north or devils side'
of the yard, a practice concerning
which chapters might be written.

Died In der Mothers Arms.

When Mr.. and Mrs. John L. Mcknight
of Fairbanks Village awoke Thursday
morning they found that their little six
months old daughter, who slept with
them, had died during the night. Medi-
cal aid was summoned and it was found
that the child had been accidentally
smothered. The parents attended the
Salvation Army meeting Wednesday
evening and at 80 a. m. the child was
nursed by its mother and fell asleep in
her arms. In some way the blanket got
around the child's head and when the
doctor arrived in the early morning, she
had been dead between two and three
hours.

This is what the HoIyoke Transcript
said OF Miss Buch, who appears as one
OF the soloists at the festival here next
week: "Mr. Hammond was assisted by
Miss Emma Buch, who has a splendid

unusual voice. Miss Buch sang Coombs'

Chord by Sullivan. In the latter she
so pleased the audience that they in

CuPOLA OF ST. PETERS.

Idea In Architecture.

Idea In Architecture.
The greatest Of the architectural en-
terprises Michael Angelo was called up
on to take up was the completing or
st. Peters, and he devoted himself
through pure obedience to this task,
refusing all compensation, offering MS
unpaid services in that way both to
his master and to the service OF rell-
gion.
He had to struggle against the op-
posing ideas of the architects in charge
of the monument, who held by later
plans than those Of the first deVlser'
and their enmity and misrepresentation
of what was best aimed at continual
thwarting of all his intentions, He
managed, however, to bring back the
building to it's original plan, that OF
his greatest enemy, Bramante, upon
whom he has left this noble Judgment.
at cannot be denied" said he, that
Bramante laid the first plan OF st. Pe-
ter's clear and simple, and all who
have departed from his scheme have
departed from the truth"
We have not the great cathedral as
Michael wished it, nor can we see in
It the creation Of his genius. But the
one thing that Michael Angelo left to
his successors in the work is the cupO-
la, whose outline remains as an unpar-
alleled idea, as important a landmark
in architecture as his other records Of
achievement in painting and sculpture.

Charles Lynch was man whose

The Cigarette Habit.

'I have got the booze habit beat, as they say, that is, have quit drinking alcoholic stimulants, but I cannot break off from cigarettes" said middle-aged business man last night.
 T envy the man who can drink social- ly and not get drunk, and I envy the man who can smoke cigarettes in moder- ation, but I can do neither. Of the two habits, whisky drinking and excessive ci- garette smoking, it is hard to say which is the more injurious to the nervous sys- tenn. Some young meE smoke a few ci- garettes every day and few will not hurt them. But am like the majority of men who use cigarettes. I light thirty five or forty between morning and bed time
 When I gave up liquor I simply made a mental vow that I would quit That was seven years ago. and I have not taken a drink since. I have made a hun dred VOWS that I would abstain from cigarettes, but I could not live up to them. The only safeguard for youth is never to begin the practice of smoking ciearettes"

on September 26. and no effort will be spared to present the best observa- tions of the agents and correspondents of the government.
 It is said agents of foreign buyers in interior towns are taking large quantities of the crop, and that through shipments for export are leading fea- ture of the trade. This, If true, goes to show that the foreign spinner acts one way and talks another. He ex- presses the opinion that there will be a big crop, while he slips into the in terior towns and buys freely at pres- ent prices.
 The price is swinging around eight cents under the present heavy move ment. and liquidation in Wall street, and it is not at all hazardous to say that lower prices need not be expected. Nine-cent cotton is much more prob able than seven-cent cotton. The lat ter. however, is not anticipated seri- ously by anyone.

Music Teachers.

There are music teachers and music teachers" remarked a music lover. Here in Birmingham we have number of thoroughly educ ated musicians who give instruction, and many who are not well educated in music, but who give lessons. The trouble is parents too often fail to discriminate, and send their children to teachers who are ill-prepared to teach correct methods, and who know as little about the theory of music ss the aver age amateur who never studied seriously. First-class teachers charge frst-class prices, while second or third-class teach CTS charge cheap prices. But If a child is to study music it is essential to pro- vide f1rst-class instructor at the begin ming. Otherwise, should the child take lessons from a good teacher later on much time will be lost in undoing or trying to undo mistakes and bad habits.
 Music Is like everything else that has an intellectual side to 1t. There is a right way and a wrong way to study it. It al- ways is economy to start right, no mat ter what the tuition fee may be-"

Railroads Present and to Come.

The mileage of the Atlantic Coast Line Is 4156, including the Plant Sys- tenn, which it had previously absorbed. This large mileage in the southeast was added to Birmingham's transporta- tion outfit by the Morgan merger. h. stead of ending at Montgomery these thousand of miles have been extended to this district as well as several points beyond, as the next time tables will show. The Louisville and Nashville disappears from the map and the At lantic Coast Line takes it's place, and through trains to Tampa, to Charles ton, to one point and another. will soon be announced. In other words, this district has acquired over night 4156 miles of railroad.
 With the Seaboard breaking dirt, in this neighborhood, there remain now but two systems to be brought in, uaIlely, lu6 1illuOAo OSAIio oA eAAN NAA~ Rock Island. Possibly the Gould sys- tenn may come this way, too. There are no more systems in the east to come, and all gains must hereafter be from the west. The Illinois Central. covering a good share of Mississippi, Is most to be desired, and the wonder is that it does not push spur into the district of greatest tonnage in the southern country. The Rock Island is at Memphis, looking, it is said, for gulf or south Atlantic outlet. And this may be said, in a limited sense of the Gould system, which taps the gulf, but not the south Atlantic. It has also reached Memphis, where the most southerly bridge over the Father of Waters is located.

Protection at crossinus.

President Jemisons remedy for troll ley accidents like that of Saturday is Do abolish grade crossings. as the peo- pie of other countries have done. This remedy is peculiarly well adapted to the locality near the Sloss furnace, where crossings grow in clusters. The East Lake line will never be quick and efficient until a bridge is built over the whole lot of crossings at the Sloss furnace, and the heavy interests at That point ought not to hesitate over the erection of the needed structure It is the only true and perfect remedy.
 But this sort of remedy is too ex- pensive to be applied in the immediate future to other grade crossings in Bir- mingham. At those gates and guards should be placed, and that. too. with out delay. Every railroad company should bs given thirty days notice by the city council to place at every street crossing these projections to human life. Other cities have them, and ex- perlence shows we must have them, or have at frequent intervals most dis dressing accidents with probable slaughters. The board of aldermen should not hesitate. They possess abundance of power, and the alderman who refuses or neglects to do his duty in this particular should be held to strict account by the people.
 Every grade crossing should be equipped with gates, and a fagman who has two hands and two eyes should bo at hand to use them for the public safety. Each and every grade crossing in this town is fully entitled to this measure of protection.
