J.E. Walker Buys a Granite Plant.

An important real estate and business
change went into effect April 1, when
Joseph E. Walker, the we'll known gran
lite manufacturer, took possession of the
property formerly known as the st.
Johnsbury Granite Co.'S plant, for the
past few years owned by E. ], Goss who
operated it. Mr.. Goss will remain in
Mr. Walkers employ. The plant in
cludes a valuable lot of land and three
buildings, occupied principally as cutting
sheds and polishing shed. Mr.. Walker
paid $4,000 for the property, and about
$1,000 for the stock and equipment. The
plant is good one, the cutting shed is
one of the best lighted and most conven-
lent in this vicinity and one-half OF it is
occupied by the firm of Conley and Mutt.
The polishing shop is equipped with six
wheels. An Ingersoll air compressor was
added to the plant about year ago.
Mr.. Walker has occupied part OF the
old Carrick shop for the past few years
and has built up large and profitable
business. He shipped large carload of
finished monuments west, Thursday, and
has good supply of orders ahead, both
for local and outside work. At present
he is occupying both his new and old
quarters, but will vacate the latter soon,
and H. NJ. Laird will then occupy the
whole of the Carrick shed. Mr.. Walker
began his trade Is years ago, in the
plant which he has just purchased, and
by hard work and cose application to
business has become a successful manu-
facturer. He is most estimable young
man, deserving the success he has
achieved, and the CALIFORNIAN wishes him
continued and ever-increasing prosperity

HoodIumism in st. Johnsbury.

There is evidence of hoodlumsm in
more or less marked degree in st. Johns
bury, when there is any possible oppor-
tunity for it. Sometimes it is slight and
hardly noticeable and on other occasions
it is conspicuously brazen and disgrace
full. There have heen many instances
this winter that might have been given
wider publicity. When, however, an
occurrence like that which followed the
basket ball game, Saturday evening,
comes up, it is high time that something
is said and done. When the White River
Junction men went to the hotel they
were assailed by a shower of potatoes,
sticks of wood, and 1t is said in one case
at least the missile was a stone or brick,
and several of the visitors were struck.
Ofcourse the tusilade was not long con-
tinued, for the typical hoodlum does not
remain long where there is possibility
OF danger. The on y offence against the
visitors was that they cheered tor a rival
team in a friendly game of basket ball.
The game was hard fought one, but
players and officials were gentlemen, and
the best OF personal feeling was main
tanned. So on this score there was not
the slightest excuse for the disgraceful
episode which followed. The trouble
Saturday evening was caused by what
might be termed the junior department
OF hoOdlumism, but there is senior de-
partment also. Our West Burke cor
respondent said some plain things last
week concerning some St. Johnsbury
visitors to that place, on a recent date,
and st. Johnsbury Center people had
some experiences with a crowd that
went 10 church entertainment at that
village few weeks ago.
The quicker the authorities take hold
OF this matter in sober earnest and teach
this thoughtless and reckless element a
lesson or two, the better will it be for
the towns reputation.
A note from White River Junction
citizen who came up with the players
tells OF his being hit on the side of the
head with potato, and then goes on to
say: II know there were unpleasant ex.
perlences met by others from here, no.
tably members of the team. One of the
players was struck with a stone as he
started to go on to the hotel piazza, DR..
Daley was struck with a potato, and
MIR. .Vose OF Dartmouth, who was our
umpire, also came in for flying vegetables
Several others tell the same story. To
say that was surprised at the reception
given the JUNCTION contingent is putting
! it very mild.N

A Railroad r1an Honored.

Members of the engineering professor
are familiar with bound stones, their uses
abuses, but we venture to say no bound
stone was ever set with heartier good
will, than that which marked the tetmln'
alton OIL W. fuckers service with the
Boston and Maine railroad, Monday
March 81, at Boston, on
which occasion Mr.. Tucker was
watched" by his associates and
friends to the extent of first quality
gold "Elgin" with appropriate chain and
charm, the presentation remarks being
made by Hon H. E. Fletcher, state sena'
tor, in a very pleasing manner.
Mr.. Tucker will be remembered by
many Of our citizens as division engineer
at st. Tohnsbury decade or more ago,
in which capacity he had many friends.
For the past seven years he has been
located at Boston as engineer of con-
struction under H. Bissell, chief engineer,
and has recently accepted an offer to go
with the N. Y. Central as resident engl-
neer with headquarters at Albany, N. y.
In his large field of labor Mr.. Tucker
takes with him the best wishes OF all
with whom he has been associated.

Ben Hur in Boston.

More than $4,000 was expended i'll
experiments and construction before the
first public performance was seen, EIec-
tricians have even had the presumption
toinvent Star of Bethlehem, with blind.
ing, scintillating rays. The scene be-
tween the decks Of the great Roman Gal
ley, for instance, is an admirably achieved
curiosity. Everyone has heard of these
ancient battleships, propelled by oars,
and has read of the shackled and sweat
ing slaves, who did the work without
having a clear notion OF what it really
meant The scene in Ben Hur" explains
the matter most effectively. There are
several scenes equally elaborate and
equally well executed whose interest is
almost as great. The performances OF
Ben Hur" begin promptly at two
O'Clock at the matinees, 7.45 o'clock in
the evening. There is no overture by the
orchestra and it is necessary for patrons
to be seated at quarter to eight to see
the most impressive picture of the great
play. 1t is being put on now with spen-
did success by KIaw & Eranger, at the
Colonial Theatre, Boston.

Statistics of the Churches.

The statistics went to the editor of the.
Year Book considerably later than usual
and then with one church unreported
The missing church has since been heard
from, and the following figures include
all:
The figures supply food for thought
rather than for compIacency. The mem.
bership of the churches, now 21,672, is
10Y less than was reported a year ago.
The absentee list, numbering 1865, has
increased 1872, so that the loss in resident
membership is 299. The additions dur
ing the year were 9OS ASA by confession
and 424 by letter. and this is the small.
est number of additions since the report
of 1888. The removals (449 by death,
424 by letter. 10 by discipline and re.
vision; total 9S3) are not far from the
average number. The net loss thus
ought to be rs, but not all our clerks
are yet perfect in mathemat cs.
The steady loss in Sunday school mem-
bership continues, the present number,
1882, being 693 less than last year.
The d, crease in Christian Endeavor mem
bership, from 7061 to 6333, is relatively
even larger. At least it can be said that
neither branch of work for the Young is
prospecting at the expense of the other.
Fortunately there is a brighter side.
There is a gain of S3,225 in benevolent
contributions, the amount Of which for
last year is reported as $47,691, the
highest mark reached for four years. In
home expenditures, $2OS, 1854, there is
the still greater gain of SIS. 9S9, and the
e,,,,a COZ Tho fro,,, =,
families, the number now reported being
1872, and the Ia gest since this column
first appeared in the report, is not readily
explainable.
No attempt has been made in the above
to furnish ready dgested food, but per-
haps strong Questions may be able to
find some nourishment in it. The Yer.

The Hatpin in Action.

AS weapon of defence the hatpin in a
woman's hand can bid defiance to the
sneaking ruffianism of the bold highway.
man. 1t is more serviceable than a
sword bayonet and does its work as
effectively as a stick of dynamite. A
brave woman of Braddock was held up
by a freebooter who demanded her
money at the point OF revolver. He
didn't get it. He reckoned without the
hatpn and its owners courage in WELD
ing it. A man in so tight a corner
would have banded over his money to

Judge Ross Asks for New Trial.

Hon. Jonathan Ross, attorney for the
Franklin County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. OF St. Adams, in the case of
state VS.. bank, which involves the ques-
ton of whether the tax of 7-1O of one
per cent on commercial deposits subject
to check held by trust companies and
savings banks and by trust companies
shall be paid by the bank, or whether
the whole amount shall be returned by
the individual depOsitor for taxation.
Ry a recent decision Of the supreme court
the contention of State Tax Commits
sioner J. E. Cushman that the banks
should pay the tax was upheld and an
amount OF 2,S46 ST wasinyOlved in the
six banks that refused to pay.
The new trial is asked tor on the
grounds that the word deposits as
used in the Vermont statutes covering
this case, is ambiguous.
If held not to include commercial de-
posits as part OF the measure of the
tax imposed on the defendants fran
chise, the law is unconstitutional. II, as
in the opinion of the court, held to in
cude commercial deposits, such inclusion
exempts the owners OF such deposits
from taxation thereon, it kept in defend
ant bank and leaves them taxable there
on if kept in the national bank in this
state, and is unconstitutional both by
the constitution of Vermont and OF the
United States.
There were six banks that refused to
pay the tax pending the decision of the
suit. They were the Franklin County
Savings Bank & Trust Co., of St. Adams;
Citizens Savings Bank & Trust Co., OF
St. Tohnsbury; Hardwicks Savings Bank
& Trust Co., of Hardwick; Enosburg
Falls Savings Bank & Trust Co., OF
Enosburg Falls; Ludlow Savings Bank
& Trust Co., of Ludlow; and the Proc
tor Trust Co., of Proctor.

RECENT DEATHS.


Mrs. Bessie NJ. PIERCE Waters died at
St. Tohnsbury, April 6, 1902. Mrs
Waters was born at Hartford, March
| q, 1875, and was the daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. Sidney E. Pierce OF Lowell,
Mass who were with her during the last
DAYS of her lite which eliminated as noted
above. from the dreaded typhoid fever.
Mrs. Waters was the widow Of Julien M.
Waters, who lost his life in a railroad
accident several years ago. She was a
niece of Mrs. Delos M. Bacon and Mrs.
Annie F. Rutherford OF this town. Be-
side the griefstricken parents, she leaves
one daughter, Mary Maude, two
brothers, !. E. and Kenneth B., and one
sister, Luna M. Pierce, and host of
friends who mourn with the bereaved.
In the death OF this beautiful being, the loss
OF this affectionate and lovely character,
Gods hand bears heavily upon all who
held her dear and precious, but still the
agonized hearts, with meek submission,
pray and hope for strength to feel that
the good God rules and gives peace and
consolation to the truly broken hearted
The funeral occurred yesterday at 2
o clock p. M, from the residence Of Mrs.
Annie F. Rutherford 80 Main street,
conducted by Rev. A. Francis Walch, pas
tor of the Church of the Messiah.
The floral offerings were profuse from
sympathizing friends and relatives, and
also from the Order of the Golden Cross,
of which the deceased was highly
esteemed member. The interment was
at St. Johnsbury Center.
If, ito live in the hearts she left behind
is not to die, our darling has only gone
nearer the eternal light. "Her spirit
drlted away on the bosom OF that dark
and shadowy river that flows with re
sistess sweep into the shoreless sea"
I'VE, too, shall come to that river side
One by one;
We are nearer it's waters each eventide,
One by one"

The Oldest Church Building.

The oldest church building now in use
as place of public worship in Vermont
is commonly reported to be the one in
Bennington, which was built in 1905,
but the Congregational church and town
house in Wiadham antedates that build
ing by three years, having been raised
July s, 1902, by 100 picked men from
this and surrounding towns. An effort
will be made to celebrate its centennial,
perhaps in Old Home Week. An inter.
esting history is connected with it.
