toward the south. Senator Foote had
the floor, ard while he was making
some reference to Benton the latter
walked eXcitedly toward him.
Senator FoOte started to run away.
and Senator Benton increased his
speed. AS Benton came after him
Footc hurried along and drew five
chambered revolver as he ran. Benton
was in full chase. He did not see the
weapon, but was apparently very anX-
ious to Overtake Foote. Senator Dodge
of Wisconsin reached Benton and beg
ged him for Gods sake to do nothing
which would compromise him with the
senate. Benton was finally persuaded
to turn and retrace his steps. He look
ed over his shoulder and caught the
first sight of the senator from Missis-
Sippi with the revolver in his hand.
This aroused him to a frenzy of des-
peration. He broke away from Dodge
and rushed back at Foote Tearing
open his waistcoat and his shirt. he
barred his breast to the Mississippi sen
ator, who was brandishing the revolv-
er in his hand He had cooked the
weapon as he turned when he saw that
he could run no farther.
Benton stood within a few feet of
him and with his naked bosom as
target dramatically cried to Foote:
Il am not armed. | have no pistol
| disdain to carry firearms. Let him
fire. Stand out of the way and let the
assassin fire"

has since become a leading lawyer in
New York, challenged Patten to duel.
Patten. having learned that Pryor
was rated an expert pistol shot, chose
bowie knives as the weapons he de-
sired to use in the encounter. How

rived when the two men would face
each other on the field of honor Pry-
Ors seconds threw up the sponge by
declaring that they could not consent
to let their principal fight with such
barbarous weapon.

The scented dinner gown is a pretty
extravaganza. The fad costs money,
but there is really no more attractive
feature about womans gown. Sachet
powder is used, not in the lining, but in
the little bags which are disposed in
convenient places upon the gown. 1t
Is not the correct thing to use always
the same perfume. One gets tired of
it, but variety is much liked-one day
violet odor, next day cut rose, next
day something else. and so on through
the list of sweet smells.

Tragic Scene In the senate When

Scrimmage In the House.
Not since antebe.lum days, when bit

raised the passions of men to frenzy,

between the two senator's from South
Carolina, Tillman and McLaurin. re-
calls some famous fights of earlier
days.
Perhaps the nearest approach TO
tragedy III the senate was in 1850.
when Senator Benton of Missouri barred
his breast to Senator Foote of Missis-
Sippi and dared him to shoot.

A Corn Canning Project.

Does st. Johnsbury want corn can

1t is safe to say she does, under certain
conditions. St. Johnsbury should wei
come any industry which promises to be
Of any use to the town.
On Friday evening last halt dozen
business men met to talk over PROPOSE
ton looking toward the establishment
of a corn canning factory here, by Chas
T. Goodwin & Co., who have a similar
business at Poland. Me. This factory
would be in operation say for eight
weeks in the year, from early August to
October 1. 1t would employ during that
time from $50 to 200 hands. Mr.. Good
win indicates that for the first year his
contracts with the farmers for sweet corn
to be worked up in the factory would
amount to some ten thousand dollars
presumably there would be a substantial
increase each year thereafter.
The question was raised; nat are
businessmen and farmers of this vicinity
willing to do to secure the establishing
OF this industry? And the only thing
really decided at the Friday night meet
ing was to take steps to answer thi:
question.
John Rickaby was chosen to make q
canvass to see what could be done, the
town to be asked to take some action il
the premises at the March meeting.
The matter is certainly worthy Of con
sideration. No great outlay is asked tor
on the part of the business men, and il
upon further investigation, the proposi
ton appears in as favorable light a
now seems probable, st. Iohnsbury cal
afford to take hold and have a can

A Lecture by Gen o. o. Howard.

The lecture on Abraham Lincoln by
Gen, 0. o. Howard, which occurs at the
South church tomorrow evening at 8
O'Clock, will afford an opportunity for
everybody not only to hear distinguish
ed soldier and humanitarian discuss the
great president, but the event will serve
to direct attention to an institution
deserving of generous consideration.
President Lincoln was deeply interest
ed in the mountaineers of Tennessee.
They had suffered much during the civil
war and many of them were descend
ants of men who had staked life and for
tune in the struggle for American inde-
pendence.
Gen. 0. o. Howard was especially re-
quested by President Lincoln to look out
for the welfare of these people, and the
result has been the establishment at
Cumberland Gap of the Lincoln memo
rial university, situated at the Cornering
OF the three states OF Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Virginia. 1t is the center for
the people Of the Cumberland mountains,
there being within the radius OF so miles
population OF more than 80, ,OOO. The
university is supported by popular sub
scription. The aim of the institution 1s
to teach the mountain youth the best
methods of farming and the mechanical
arts; also to provide them with normal
and academic training. 1t is the desire
of the promoters of this institution to
upbuild an enduring monument to the
great civil war president among the peo-
pie of his nativity.
The lecture is arranged under the direc-
ton of the Y. P. S. c. E. of the South
church. Admission will be 25 cents and
the proceedsgo to he Lincoln university.
Gen. Howard comes here from Boston,
where he addressed great gathering in
fremont Temple Tuesday evening on the
same subject.
No tickets will be sold at the church,
but they must be secured at Stiles or
Binghams drug stores.

The CaIedOnian Did 1t?

A few weeks ago the CALIFORNIAN
called attention to a case OF shocking
cruelty to animals in Cabot, and the fol-
lowing from the Cabot correspondent of
the Montpelier Daily Journal, is evidence
that the paragraph had the desired effect;
"The case was brought to the notice of
the health officer, ]. M. Fisher. He went
to work to locate the matter and found
it was one George Hill, Jr., in the north
west part of the town. Mr.. Fisher Wis
tied the premises and found four cattle,
one hog and one horse in pitiable con-
dition. The barn and stable were open
to the cold and wind. no hay was in the
barn. few cornstalks out in the field
that neighbor gave him was all they
had. The animals were all in a very
suffering condition. The health officer
notified MIR. Hill that he would give him
two days in which to make the stock
comfortable. Last Friday he called on
him and found he had sold two OF the
cattle and with the proceeds had bought
quantity of hay with which to feed
the remainder. A kind neighbor had as
sisted him in fitting up portion Of the
stable so they are comfortably domi.
Clled and, we trust we'll fed"

Twas "GentIemen's Night"

And the gentlemen enjoyed it. So did
the ladies, whose guests the gentlemen
were.
We refer to that social success achieved
by the Womans Club, at Pythan Hall
on Friday evening last. The habit
which the Club has fallen into of annual
ly entertaining the gentlemen is very
agreeable habit, to all concerned. The
guests always go home feeling convinced
that there's something very wide awake
and up-to-date about the social and
other work of the Club.
The committee who had the arrange
ments for Friday evening in hand spared
no pains to give everybody present a
good time. The guests were received by
Mrs. W. P. Stafford, president of the
Club, Col. and Mrs. T. c. Fletcher, Mr..
and Mr., Robert Mackinnon, and DR.. and
Mrs. c. F. o. Tinker; being presented to
the receiving party by Miss Fannie Rus
sell and Miss Katherine Bingham. This
bit Of ceremony was followed by pro-
longed and enjoyable season of social
commingling.
The company were treated to a musi-
cal program made up of two we'll played
piano solos by Miss Maude Brown;
songs by Mrs. Hubert w. Brooks, to
whose singing st. Johnsbury people al
ways listen with pleasure; and cornet
solos by Miss Marion Walker Story of
Laconia, N H., niece of Mrs. Geo. w.
Story of this place. Though she is only
thirteen years of age Miss Story has a
great deal of ability as cornet player,
having begun to get music out OF that
instrument when but seven years old.
Her playing was very much enjoyed.
Later in the evening ice cream, cake, cof-
fee and chocolate were served by a bevy
of Young ladies, the guests being seated
in the banquet room adjoining the hall.
The tables were prettily decorated with
cut flowers, which were also to be seen
in the main hail. Mrs. Gilbert E. Woods
poured coffee and Mrs. George c. Cary
poured the chocolate. S. D. Atwood
catered for this occasion.
The evening will be pleasantly remem-
bered by all who were privileged to par
ticipate in it's opportunities.
