The Change at the Avenue House.

AS announced last week the Avenue
House changes hands on Saturday when
the syndicate of travelling men assume
the management. 1t is the hope of the
syndicate to make the Avenue House one
OF the best known hosteIries in the state
and the people of st. Johnsbury will be
glad to cooperate with them to bring
this about. E. w. Eastman, who travels
for the wel-known grocery firm of
Twitchell Champin & Co. of Portland
and Boston, will be the manager and
will be here every Sunday, and ottener
as the business requires. Mr.. Haley,
the head clerk at the Oxford at Fryeburg,
Me-, will be the resident manager and
head waiter. Willard Burnel comes here
as assistant to Mr.. Haley and will also
have charge of the books. Mrs Green,
who has been matron at the Kearsage
at North Conway this summer, comes
here to fill a similar position under the
new management and everything in her
department will be carefully looked after.
The friends of Mr.. Blodgett will be glad
to know that he will remain as night
clerk and Jack Bertrand will attend to
the travellers baggage with his usual
faithiulness.

The city charter committee has been
busy with their task the past week and
as soon as some surveying and other
necessary work can be done the bill will
be in readiness to present to the legisla
ture. The exact limits of the city will
not be determined for a lew DAYS. but
roughly stated, the line will begin at a
point on the Waterford line beyond
Charles Higgins farm and will extend in
as direct route as possible to the bor-
ders of Danvile, probably near the
Fish Hatchery. All of the town south
Of this line will be included in the city
limits. The laying out OF wards has
been rather difficult matter, and accord
ing to present plans there will be six

street. Ward 3, will include the territory
compassed BY line extending along the
middle of Pearl street and Warren
Avenue from Spruce street to Sleepers

up this stream to the Paddock Village
bridge thence to Spruce street. Ward
4, will begin at the corner of Spruce
street and Warren Avenue, down Main
street to Railroad, up North Railroad to
city limits thence to point on Danville
line west OF Winter street, thence along
Winter to Main, Maple to Pearl Pearl
and Warren avenue to Spruce. Ward 5,
will begin at corner of Maple and Pearl
and extend along Pearl to Eastern
avenue, to Main street to Western avenue
to point west of Webster street on Dan
willie line, thence along Winter and
Maple streets to point OF beginning.
Ward 6 will include Fairbanks Village,
South Park and all the terri ory south
OF line drawn from the corner of Wards
4 and on the Danville line along West.
ern avenue, Main street, Eastern avenue,
Pearl street, Railroad street, down
Sleepers River and the Passumpsic to
the Waterford line.
Some changes may be made in these
lines when more careful census is taken
OF the different wards.
After charter is granted by the legis-
lature it will be submitted to the resi-
dents of the proposed city for their ac-
ceptance or rejection. Ifit is adopted by
them it will then be submitted tor final
action to the voters of St. Johnsbury,
both OF the proposed city and the town.

Harry, who was leading, stopped,
and motioned them to be still. A pc
culiar harsh staccato call came from
some bird in their front, followed by
another, and another. This was ac-
companied by a steady sharp hum
ming, which reminded Ralph of the
noise made by a typewriter when the
carriage is dragged over the teeth in
its rear Peering cautiously through
fringe of catclaw, they saw a small
open glade not ten yards across, and
in its center a huge notified rattle
snake was coiled, ring upon ring. its
wicked dark head raised six inches,
and waving slowly to and fro. Its
small eyes cleaned like carbuncles.
and its tail vibrated so rapidly that
the tip could not be seen. 1t was in
an extremity of anger. Five feet away
its head lowered nearly to the grass,
its bill extended, its wings half raised,
and sharply elbowed, a chaparral-
cock hoped slowly up and down. A
battle to the death was on, and the
boys watched 1t strainingly, Harry
with never-faililg interest, the broth
ers almost in terror. They had never
before seen the dreaded rattler.
Like a flash of light, the snake
launched itself forward, and its head
struck the sward a good seven feet
from the spot where it had been
coiled; but with equal rapidity the
cock had leaped a yard aside. No hu-
man eye could follow this stroke or its
avoidance. One instant the reptile was
punched. and the bird nearly station

FASHION |

NEW YORK, April 5.-The shops are
having their spring openings, and so
deliciously dainty are the gowns dis
played that even unimpressionable
mankind stands in awed admiration.
A stunning model shown at a lead
ing Broadway emporium is a long,
large, graceful affair, made primarily
of delicate pin-striped blue and-white
taffeta With this is combined a very
fine Irish crochet lace, forming a
fiounce about the long skirt and fin
ishing the full sleeves from the elbow
to the hand. Alternate ruchings and
folds of chiffon join the skirt proper
to the deep fiounce. and supply the full
ness OF the 'front.' bodice, over which
groups Of fine tassels fall to the belt.
This belt is of crushed silk, moulded to
the figure, and ends in chiffon sashes
having knots about foot or a foot and
a half from the bottom of the skirt.
Sashes appear on most of these elabo-
rate new importations, and are the
acme Of grace. Women always well
come this moving accessory, and this
season the sashes are particularly eff
fective.
A costume of q coarsely woven pink
silk material, made with close fitting
skirt, tight about the hips and back and
with q batiste bodice, shown at a re-
cent opening, suited my fancy to per-
lection. The sleeves to the elbow, and
the front and back OF the bodice, were
covered with a sort of fitted cape of
batiste of exquisite quality. Over this
large white silk wheels were embroid-
cred. valenciennes lace was used for
trimming the batiste, and squares of
il were let in over the collar as far
as the bust. From the elbow to the
wrist the sleeves. which were of the
pink silk, were very full. The lower
fulness of all these sleeves is exag-
gerated over that of the winter styles.
Another charming yet simple gown
is of a silky white thin goods. with
wreaths of old rose colored flowers by
way of pattern. The wreaths are
about the size of a twenty-five-cent
piece, and are quite close together.
The entire gown is made over old rose
taffeta. The skirt fits closely to tho
knee, whence spring two graduated
and tucked fiounces, the tucks rising
perpendicularly. The novelty Of this
costume is its old-fashioned scalloped
trimming. Above the top ruffle a
three-inch strip of silk is scalloped
out exactly as we have seen 1t in old
daguerreotypes, each scallop neatly
piped at top and bottom. The waist
has a deep round yoke of white lace,
edged with a frill of the scallops of old
rose taffeta falling over the bust. The
goods are then gathered full into the
wide crushed silk belts with bias sash
ends in the back These latter are not
very long, and are ornamented and
fastened at the belt line with two
rhinestone buttons. The sleeves,
which are short, coming only to the
elbow. are finished in the scallops. It
was altogether one of the oldest and
most artistic creations shown in the
entire collection Of perhaps a hundred
or more.
Alternate foot flounces Of rare laces
and chiffon with ruchings at the top,
and often with interlacings of baby
ribbon falling over them. are seen on
most OF the smart evening gowns. A
