WOULD-BE ACTRESSES.

There was an off the stage" per-
formance at the opera house Saturday
night which made some fun and ex-
cited quite bit of curiosity, says the
Barre Telegram.
Two young girls from Montpelier
with craze for stage life came to
the city Saturday afternoon bringing
with them all their worldly possessions
in the way of wearing apparel which
they left at the Tomasi block. Dur
ing the evenings performance they
occupied two front seats and were
quite startled during the wait be-
tween the first and second acts by
hearing familiar footsteps behind
them. On looking around they beheld
their mother and they started for the
balcony by way of the stairs near the
boxes. The mother pursued them on
the run up through the balcony and
out at the entrance. She soon returned
accompanied by an officer and went on
the stage behind the scenes where she
accused the manager of trying to en-
gage her children. This he denied,
stating that he already had more peo
pie than he could feed and fui thermore
that he was not that kind of man
and did not have to engage help in
thai way. The interview ended and
the lady returned to the capital city
without her BARNS but with their
clothing which she had found. She
said it was the second attempt they
had made to leave home.

Letter to Aughtney Jangraw.
Montpelier, VT.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if
you could find way to shave your
customers in less time, for less cost,
and make the shave last twice or
three times as long.
You wouldn't shave the same person
SO many times, nor get SO much of
his money; but the whole town would
be talking about you, and everybody
would come to you for shave.
Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that
in paints. 1t takes fewer gallons, and
it wears longer. Costs less for the job,
and you don't have to do it again for
years and years-six years at least.
"Fewer gallons; wears longer. F"
Takes fewer gallons to paint a house
with Devoe Lead and Zinc than with
mixed paints; and it wears longer
than mixed paints or lead and oil.
Yours truly,

The first services of Memorial week
occurred at St. Augustine's church on
Sunday morning when the pastor,
Rev. w. j. O'Sullivan, deliyere the
annual memorial sermon before Brooks
Post, No. 13, G. A. r. The church
was well filled, about 1000 people be-
ing present. Brooks Post was repre-
sented by about sixty veterans and
these with large delegation from tie
Woman's Relief corps marched from
G, A. K. hall to the church, escorted
by st. Michael's cadets, Capt. Charles
Theriault commanding. The two So
cieties and their escort occupied seats
on the left of the central aisle. After
the service the audience remained
seated while the veterans and their
young escorts retired. The line was
reformed in front of the church and
the column marched slowly back. to
the hall. Among the veterans present
was the venerable Gen. Stephen
Thomas who though old in years still
retains his love for the soldiers with
whom he fought and who never fails
to add his tribute to the memory of
the comrades who have gone before.
A touching incident occurred when
the general drove away from the
church. The cadets were in line for
the return march and while General
Thomas was passing they gave the
salute due to his rank. The veteran
was not unmindful of the compliment
and rode past the ranks of the boys
with his head uncovered
At the church the usual high mass
was said by Father O'Sullivan, and
the choir repeated the Easter music
consisting of Emerson S mass in E fiat

Is construed to mean the exclusion from

at 4 o'clock this evening, ayes l3, noes 16.
Then the supporters Of the measure pressed
their advantage. and the Senate remained
in session until the final vote.
Arguments used against the bill were that
it would seriously injure business by driving
Reinsurance companies from the State.
On the other hand. the adherents o: the
measure cited that the last Democratic
State platform contained a plank favoring
the passage of this identical bill. The bill
now goes to the House. which on January

Well Pleased With Governments
Reception of Plans Proposed
by Landlords and Tenants.
DETAILS ARE NOT SPECIFIED.
These, 1t is Feared, Might Confuse
the Chief Point at Issue, Which
Is the Transfer of Land
With Least Delay.

London, Feb. 23-Ths Earl Of Dunraven
was interviewed tonight regarding the re-
port Of the Irish landlords and tenants
conference IN Dublin. Of which he was
chairman.
He spoke hopefully regarding the pros
poets of legislation, which he thought
would end the difficulties in Ireland. Lord
Dunraven said:
'The utterances of King Edward and OF
British public men, the temper of Ireland.
the reception OF the conferences report by
the public, and the action OF the Govern
ment since the publication Of the re-
port, are all favorable indications pointing
TO the success of the Governments Irish

terms of the report, Will insure a final set

PREACHER ATTACKS

The Reverend Thomas Dixon, Jr., says
That Negro Question Has Incapac-
itated President for Reelection.
SPECIAL

REPUBLIC
Cleveland, O., Feb. 23.-The Reverend
Thomas Dixon. Jr.. who lectured here last
night, is out in al interview in arraignment
Of the negroes and in an attack on Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The reverend Mr.. Dixon declared that
President Roosevelt had made himself i'm
possible as a candidate for reelection, and
that south of the Mason and Dixon line
he would have the solid opposition of Dem
ocrats and Republicans alike.
He declared that Senate Ham was con-
sidered by the people of the South the
rishtful successor to President Mckinley.
and that he would receive their enthusiastic
support.
1T is In educating the negro that you
spoil him." declared Doctor Dixon. $50
long as he remains ignorant he is willing
to remain a laborer: but as soon as he
gets a smattering of education he makes
himself impossible as a laborer and spoiis
his opportunities in other directions.
President Roosevelt is probably sincere
In the attitude he has taken. He Is also
stubborn. His obstinacy has alienated from
him the South. and at the present time in
that section he Is the w~orst-hated man that
ever sat in the White House. The people
of The South are 80 bitter against the Pres
ident that they cannot discuss him with any
degree of patience.
Personally. I I'm a. Democrat. but I
voted for President Mckinley, as did thou
sands of other Southern Democrats. 1t is
safe to say, however, that these Democrats
will not vote for President Roosevelt. On
the contrary. they Will do all they can to
defeat President Roosevelt for the nomi-
