copal Church stands and whereas, we be-
lieve measures to be vicious In principle
and poworlcss as a remedy for the curse
of the evils of intemperance as sub
versiVe OF justice, a sin against God and
a crime against humanity, and whereas
the referendum bill to which the Republl-
can party Is committed, makes no provi-
sion for an expression Of opinion, by one
half of the states most loyal citizens
viz, the mother. wives and sisters in the
| commonwealth the most vitality concerned
in such an enactment, be 1t therefore, re-
solved, that the Womans Home Mis-
sionary society of the Vermont conference
Methodist Episcopal Church assembled at
White River Junction the Goth day OF
October, 1902 calls upon that honorable
body the Legislature of Vermont, our
representatives, to preserve our prohibit
tory law and IL the referendum bill is pas
sed we earnestly pray you to allow women
of Vermont of legal age to vote on this

One might infer from reading an ar
ticle in local paper of last evening that
the removal of the shops of the Rutland
railroad to burlington was an assured
fact, that the price had been fixed and
That everything was settled. The truth
is that nothing has been done in the mat
ter beyond the introduction of a bin in
the Legislature permitting Burlington to
issue bonds to secure the shops This
was done so that the city would be in
a position to take action on any propo-
sition that might come from the company.
No proposition has been submitted to the
committee appointed by Mayor Iiawley to
investigate the contemplated removal,
Burlington has not been asked to con-
tribute $4,000 or any other fixed sum and
Dr. Webb has not announced that he will
give $4,000

The Costliest Painting.

The duke of Marlboroughi is believed to be the possessor of the costliest painting in the world, which was at one time the property of the first duke of Marlborough. The picture is known as the "Blenheim Madonna" painted by Raphael in 1907, and now valued at no less than s35o, ,oo0. It is eight feet high, and represents the Madonna and Child seated on throne, with a figure of John the Baptist on the left and that of St. Nicholas of Bari on the right. Its almost fabulous value IS due to the fact that if is one of the best preserved of the artists works in ex- istence. Detroit Free Press.

THE CALENDAR CUSTOM.
Giving of Them as Holiday Gifts, an Ancient Custom That Is Crow
 ing in Popularity.

The custom of giving calendars at the holiday season seems to be rapid ly extending, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, and the gifts are made each year more ornate and expensive. Although thus becoming known to an overwhelming circle of givers and re ceivers the custom is by no means a new one. 1t was known to the Greeks and the Romans as early as the second century of our era, the primitive all manacs made by the scribes of Alex andria being offered, with other costly gifts, to rulers and great personages. One of the first uses of the art of print ing was to issue an almanac or call enChar, called the Kalendarium Novum, at Buda, in Hungary, in the year 1475. It was costly publication, ten crowns, gold, being paid for single copy, which served as gift to King Matthias. The almanac displaced the calendar after the invention of printing, but the monthly record of days as we now know it was received in the eighteenth century, and has gradually attained in- dependent importance. It may fairly be said that the printed calendars have never been so beautiful as those is- sued for this year.

Those riders who deSist from the practice expect to land at the top with ease and to outrank the "dope fiends' very early in the season.
 Among the many old timers who will return to the cycle track this year is Arthur Gardiner. The Chi cagoan is now a married man and during the winter has been q very sick man. He has about decided to enter the field and will probably come out as a paced rider. Years ago he rode a series of races With Harry Bikes and lost both contests on hard luck.

He is experiencing the same difficulties that all the oth- CT managers have encountered-the demands of high salaries Men who were getting $100 to $125 month last year, are now asking $150 to $200. 1t is simply impossible to pay such salaries in this circuit and there is every probability that the men who are now grating" the managers will be glad to sign for considerably less before the season is we'll under way New Haven Register.
 It is quite probable that a league meeting will be held in week or two to settle a number of minor de- tails that seem to be cropping out There is pretty sure to be a row over the claims of managers to the ser vices of certain players.
