Basket Ball Contests.

The Co. D team defeated the Dart
mouth Medics in a return game at the
Armory, Friday evening, with score of
33 to 70. The game was rather too
rough to be counted good basket ball, in
fact in might well be described as two
twenty minute halves of trough house, "
but it is only fair to say that this feature
was due to the work OF one Dartmouth
man whose record of fouls in the game is
disgrace to basket ball. The lineup
was as follows:

These promise to be- among the best
games ofthe winter.
Litteton had her first game Of basket

Johnsbury Academy was defeated by the
Dartmouth Medics, 40 to "a. The
Academy team was made up as follows
Curtis, right forward Peck, left for
ward, Thompson, centre; Preston, right
guard; Stetson, left guard. AS might
have been expected the basket ball fever
was started in Littleton by the game
and the High School and Kilburn Guards
are talking of organizing teams.
The Academy team was again defeated
by the Edmunds High school at Bur
lington Friday evening, the score being
80 to II. The game was snappy anC

An Opinion from Outside.

A Hardwick lady, Mrs. S. E. Holton,
who was member of the recent festival
chorus here, tells the Gazette of that
place that unsteady the festival was a
great success. She "also says that the
kind of music taken up by the chorus
was calculated to inspire and did, as was
evidenced by the enthusiasm through
out. She thinks Hardwick music-loving
people make mistake in not awaiting
themselves of this annual opportunity
for hearing high class music by artists Of
the highest rank"

Judge Munson's Judgment Affirmed.

The Supreme Court convened at Mont
pelier Thursday, and rendered several
interesting decisions, among them being
one in the important tax case OF State VS..
Franklin County Savings Bank & Trust
Co., which was carried from the Gale
donia county court. This suit was
brought by State Tax Commissioner
Cushman to recover for the state tax OF
seven.tenths of one per cent on all depos-
it's in savings banks and trust companies.
Most of the banks paid over without
contest, but few decided to fight it.
They contended that their commercial de-
posits were not taxable inasmuch as the
taking of such deposits is ultra wires with
them. The court holds, however, that
the taking of commercial deposits by
savings banks or trust companies is not
ultra wires and if it were so the tax
would still be collectible, for person
cannot set up his own wrong in his de
tense. The deposits though subject to
check are so by. the agreement OF the bank
and are deposits ia the meaning OF the
law. The case was heard before Judge
Munson in January, on an agreed state
ment of facts, and Judgment was rendered
pro lorna for the state, to which the de
iendant excepted and the case went to
the supreme court by agreement OF coun
sci. The Citizens Savings Bank & Trus
Co., and the Hardwick Savings Bank &
Trust Co. are the only Caledonia Co
banks aft, cted by the decision. Ia,
commissioner J. E. Cushman of Burling
ton was counsel for the state, and Hon
Jonathan Ross tor the defendant.

Funeral of rlrs. q. W. spencer.


The funeral services for the late Mrs.
G. W. Spencer were held at her home on
Spring street, at 2 O'Clock, Wednesday
afternoon, Feb. &c. Rev. E, M. Chap
man of the North Congregational church
officiated. He paid touching tribute to
the deceased. Although there is such
sacredness that clings about one who
mas been taken from US that it is almost
a sacrilege to tread on the holy ground
of private sorrow, yet in his own peculiar
tender way, Mr. Chapman gave to the
mourners words of sympathy and hope.
He gave as Scripture selections marked
passages from Mrs. Spencer's welI-worn
Bible, turning the leaves at random.
lust as Mr.. Chapman closed the sad SER
vices the sun, which had not shone be-
fore that day, broke out in dazzling
beauty, shedding over casket and the be-
loved form it contained a lovely golden
glow as if reflected from the heavenly
CITY. "Saie in the Arms of Jesus" was
rendered by the Mahogany Quartette.
The bearers chosen by the family were
all Young men who had been great
favorites with Mrs. Spencer and whom
she had often called my boys" They
were F. G. Bundy and c. H. Horton OF
st. Johnsbury, H. W. Reyes OF Keene, N.
H., Prof. S. w. Robertson of WoodsviIle,
! N. H., w. J. Davis Of Windsor, W. d.
Woolson of Springfield. Mr. Reyes
missed connections and was unable to
each St. Johnsbury at the appointed
'hour, and w. c. Tyler of st. Johnsbury
another particular family friend, took
his place.
The expression of love and friendship
in floral tributes was so rare and so
choice in selection and so numerous and
beautiful in design, that it seemed as II
the beloved one was being transported
from a garden of flowers. All hearts
were touched to see her favorite chair
standing empty. at the head OF the cas-
ket, garanded with white roses. Con
spicuous among the designs was an ele
giant one from the W. {. I. u, OF which
she had been president. The burial was
in the family lot in Mount Pleasant
Cemetery. The grave was lined with
white and banked up with evergreen
emblem OF eternal life. A delegation

Higher Price for Coal.

With anthracite commanding
the highest price ever recorded
there is now imminent danger of
an embarrassing shortage in soft
coal in New York City. Whole
sale dealers declare that unless
the coal strike be settled before
September l the anthracite mar
ket will be unable to recuperate
from its effects and that the de.
mand for the bituminous product
during the coming winter will be
far i'll excess of the available sup.
ply. The wholesale price Of hard
coal has risen once more, and do
mestic coal is being sold for 80. 80.
In one instance wholesale firm
offered $40 ton for a cargo of
anthracite. The retail price of
coal, according to retail and
wholesale dealers alike, is certain
to rise before September l, at the
latest, unless the coal strike is
settled before that time. 1t is ex-
pected that coal will jump to at
least S12 per ton shortly. The
situation is regarded as very
grave.

ment which would extend the
Presidential term to six years and
make it impossible for any man to
serve a second term. He said that
the President had more power
than the Gar of Russia, by virtue
of the patronage which is at his
disposal, and that no man could be
elected president and resist the
temptation to use that power to
further his ambitions and secure
his re election. He stated that he
regarded the whole trend of the
Republican party as towards i'm
perialism and as menace to the
future of the republic. He be-
lieved there was a constant ten
dency on the part Ofthe Executive
to encroach on the legislative
branch of the Government and
that some remedy which would
etfectually check such encroach.
