FIVE GENERATIONS.

The Chicago Tribune of recent date,
for copy of which the Journal is in
debted to Newell l.. Lord, Esq, of
Chicago, contains the portraits of five
generations, the head of which is a
venerable Vermont woman. The
Tribune gives the subjoined sketch of
the remarkable group:
Mrs. Martha Hollister, whose father
and grandfather fought with Gen.
Gates and Gen. Putnam in the revolu-
tionary war claims to be the oldest
as we'll as the earliest settler in Chi
cago who boasts colonial descent.
Mrs. Hollister came to Chicago in
1874. In her home in this city she is
able to entertain four generations of
descendants in direct line, she making
the fifth. When her ninety eighth
birthday arrives in April Mrs. Hollis
ter will entertain them all at her resi-
dence.
Mrs, Hollister was born and brought
up in Pawlet Vt, and with her hus-
band and her daughter, now Mrs. d.
| M. Clark, came to Chicago in 1914,
travelling by way of the Erie canal
and the great lakes When they ar
rived in Chicago they found 5, 600 peo-
! pie here, but the land was so swampy
they moved north into what is now
/ Ravenswood.
At the family reunion Mrs. Hollis
ter will greet her daughter, Mrs. d.
NJ. Clark, 73 years old; her grand
daughter, Mrs. James Anderson, of
Dixon, ILL.,, 40 years old her great
grandson, George Anderson, of Dixon,
H., 81 years old and her great great
grandson, son of George Anderson,
( who is two years of age In addition
to these Mrs, Hollister has many 9TH
4 er descendants, among whom is her
granddaughter, Mrs. w. II. Barret, of
this city, and several reat-grandsons
in that family, among whom is War
, rem Hollister Barrett, who is named
after her and has the same birthday.

CITY COUNCILS REPORT.

The estimate for the aggregate ex-
pensess of the city for the ensuing fis-
cal year of the city of Montpelier, as
presented by the mayor i'll the forth
coming annual report of the council,
is $l34, 4S6.67. Besides the customary
expenditures in the different depart
ments of the city administration and
temporary loan, this aggregate in
cludes 50, 200 for brigdes, $S, 500 of
which is apportioned to the city's
share in the cost of new bridge over
Worcester branch on State street, the
estimated cost of which is Sl2, 600, the
electric railway company paying
SO, 500 its share of the cost under it's
franchise. The estimated receipts,
outside of the tax levied ON the grand
list, are 500, $50. l6, leaving $l13, 797 81
to be provided for. The grand list of
the city is $5l, 227. 63. The customary
81. so tax will raise $76, $40
The net Indebtedness of the city

/, 1902, it was $l7S 100. OF, decrease
of $l6, 083 92 during the year. The
decrease during the previous year of
the current administration was 1922,
015. 18Nmaking total reduction of the
debt in two years of some S38, 600. In
the two administrations Immediately
preceding the present, the city debt
incresaed $37, 400, so that under the
existing administration, in respect of
operating expenses, the city has got
back, in the matter of its total debt to
where it was two years before the
present administration took city af-
fairs in hand and it has kept the
city's expenses within its income. 1t
will be conceded that this is a remark
ably good showing. This debt reduc-
tion has been accomplished in the
face of unavoidable increase, to meet
the growing needs of the city in some
departments.
The matter of building new bridge
in place of the "Rialto,'' and its re-
lation to the expenses of the coming
year, has already been mentioned.
In respect of another much discuss
ed need of the city the report says
"We would again call your attention
to the fact fact that the city is with
out any system of sewers, and we be-
lieve it is economy TO build a sys-
| tenn of sewers before building any
more permanent roads, but under our
tax of 81. so, as voted in the past, there
is not sufficient amount of money left,

tingencies, for the council to expend
the necessary money for the employ
ment of practical engineer to make
the necessary plans, and to do the nee
essary preliminary work to establish q

generally conceded that to do some.

THE MILKY WAY.


A System Which Gives us a Vague
Iden Of the Eternity of Space.
The Milky Way, the grandest feature
Of the armament which bends above
US" the hazy path which so majestic
ally bands the whole fabric Of the
skies together, is now known to be
composed of a grand aggregation Of at
least 100000 suns, each as large as
Or larger than that which makes vege-
table and animal life an earthly posi-
hility. One is apt when allowing the
mind to revert to the contemplation Of
these misty and indistinct astronomical
subjects to measure their magnitude
or attempt to measure it by making
terrestrial comparisons.
It is obvious, however, upon more
mature reflection that such COMPARE
are worse than .'odious." The bulk:
Of our sun exceeds that Of the earth
100000 times, being 600 times great
er than that Of the bulk Of his whole
train of planets taken collectively. This
being the case, what basis can we use
for calculating the magnitude Of 49,
100000 suns, each, as / have said be-
fore. probably larger than that which
gives us heat and light?
The infinite number OF suns which,
taken together, make up the Milky
Way are not set at uniform distance
from our earth or even from our sun.
In fact, they appear to work altogeth-

ed at q distance too remote to be even
imperfectly measured or understood.
Some Of them are 50 near q that
light, which travels at the rate Of
$4,000 miles per second, would cross
the distance between us and them in
the period Of about an even ten years.
Others, however, are so remote that it
would take q full thousand years for
their light to reach us.

RnuIB. or THE RACES.


The races are decidedly the nnost
[pepnlaf feature Of Grenada,s annual
Fair: This Is evidenced by the great
interest II the results and Of the In
creased attendance when they are to
take place. The contests this year
were excellent. Some fine aninals
we're here and they furnished plenty
OF sport for those who love to see
speedy horses test their abiaity to en-
circle the track. The track was In
almost perfect condition. Each ra-
Ger had hls friends and until a race
was over there was q difference OF opin-
ion as to who Should win. The crowds
were as eager to watch the slow mule
contests - when the fastest animals
on the track were to face the flag.
The following are the race results up
to the time OF going to press:
