The informal reception and tea
given in the vestry Of Trinity church
Thursday evening by Rev. and Mrs.
@. o. Jukdins was delightful affair.
From 30 to s O'Clock the members
of Trinity church and congregation,
with clergymen and many Others from
other denominations, were cordially
welcomed by the host and hostess
The vestry was very prettily arranged
for the occasion and several ladies Of
the church assisted Mrs Judkins i'll
serving refreshments and III making
every one feel at home. Throughout
the evening, however, ran a minor
chord, often expressed in words, that
Mr. and Mrs. Judkins are so soon to
leave Montpelier
e. II. Deavitt has been circu-
lating petition among the members
of Washington county bar, praying
Governor Stickney to appoint Hon
Seneca Haselton of Burlington to the
vacancy on the supreme bench caused
by the death of Chief Judge Taft.
| This petition has received numerous
signatures. Mr.. Haselton is the pres
ent reporter of the Supreme court de-
cisions. He has the unanimous rec
ommendation of Chittenden county
bar for appointment as judge. 1t is
thought the Governors choice will
either be Mr.. Haselton or Joel G.
Baker of Rutland 1t is currently re-
ported that the judges now on the
| bench would welcome the appoint
ment of Mr.. Haselton, and this is like
| ly to affect the decision of the Chief
| Executive.
The st. Adams Messenger of We'd
nesday evening has this to say of
a worthy Montpelier institution:
Montpelier has an industrial school
wherein poor girls are instructed in
morals, cleanliness, politeness, tenn
perance, kindness to animals and sim
| liar virtues that better favored chill
dren are supposed to come into an UNI
| Outstanding of by inherit0nce and en-
vironment. But the best feature of
all is that which gives the school its
name-the girls are taught to work.
| They are instructed in sewing and
similar housewifely duties and made
to appreciate the dignity and selfrespect
| that comes of honest labor. When
that lesson is learned, when self-re-
spect is established, then all the vir-
tues in the catalogue are mere mani
festations of it. This kind of work is
practical philanthropy"
