MONEY FOR POSTMASTERS.
Senator Proctor introduces a Bnl To Rein.
burss Several Old Timers.

Senator Proctor on February 3, in
troduced in the United States Senate
a resolution on behalf Of 253 old time
postmasters OF Vermont, who served
in periods between July /, 1864 and
July l, 1874. In the administration Of
the salary act Of July /, 1864, con-
trary to the expectations OF Congress,
the salaries of these postmasters, in
one or more biennial terms, we're re-
duced much below what their compen-
sation would be by box rents and
commissions.
Congress in 1866 and again in 1888
passed law TO make good to the
postmasters or their heirs such de-
iciencies. The department was averse
to such payments and long contro-
versy has resulted. The Senate com
mittee on postoifices and postroads,
OF which Senator Proctor is a mem-
Der, on the 4th of February reported
d resolution calling for the report Of
the salary accounts OF postmasters in
such cases in order that they may be
paid.
There is about $4,000 due Vermont
postmasters in such cases.
Should the bill become a law, the
following postmasters in Bennington
county will be benefited

If asked today to accept the places
doubtless every one of them would
promptly decline, but if asked and
urged by united citizens meeting un-
mixed with party strife and devoted
solely to the good of the town, there
would be strong reasons for believing
that they could be induced to consent.
And if they did consent they would
form board that Bennington could
and would most emphatically trust,
certain that no private interests would
be fostered at the expense Of the pub
lie and sure that the offices would not
be used to build up party machine.
AS to the main town ticket, the Sc
lectmen, listers, constable, ETC., the in
terests of the town would be much bet
ter conserved were the offices taken out
of the domain of party politics and the
business done on basis of town pride
and municipal rather than political in
terest.

may be regarded as a foregone con-
clusiou.
While the production last year was
universally conceded to be one of the
most meritorious in character, it is
said that this season it has been i'm
proved to an extent that viii surprise
even those who saw it before. The
cast has been materially strengthened
by the addition Of several prominent
artists, each Of whom was selected
with an eye to his or her peculiar fit
ness for the part assigned.
The scenery, which is entirely new,
is said to be magnificent in every de-
tail, the famous Bowery scene in par
ticular being described as a yeritable
masterpiece of modern stage realism.

MISS MARY |. HOLLISTER.
Death at Half Moon, N, y, Of Much Esteemed
Bennington Young Lady.

Miss Mary L. Hollister, one of the
most popular young ladies of this viii
age, died Sunday at Half Moon, n.
Y, after seventeen days illness from ty
phoid fever Miss Hollister would
have been twenty years of age next
May She was favorite with her
teachers, schoolmates and all who
knew her. She graduated from the
Bennington High School with high
honors in the class of 1901, with a
great ambition to become a teacher.
During her school days she gained a
local reputation as a writer in the
school paper.
Several weeks ago she went to Co
hoes and entered a training school
with the intention of fitting herself for
teacher. 1t was her custom to go to
Half Moon every Friday and spend the
Sunday with her grandmother. Three
weeks ago today she was not feeling
we'll and went to her grandmother's,
and the day after was taken i'll. Her
case was diagnosed as typhoid fever,
but her condition was satisfactory un-
til last Wednesday when her mother,
Mrs w. C. HoIlister, was telephoned
to come, as her case had become criti-
cal.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence of her grandmother Wednesday,,
Rev Frank r. Morris of this village
officiating, it being her request before
she died The interment was in the
cemetery at Half Moon by the side of
her father, the late DR. w. c. Hollister
who died in this village eleven years
ago.
Misses Cecil Powers and Lillian
Davis, members of the same class as
Miss Hollister, attended the funeral.
Among the tributes was a floral repre-
sentation of the class pin, composed
of crimson and cream carnations. The
seniors of 'O3 and '04 sent roses; the
sophomore class, violets.

FOR TOWN OFFICE.
Caucus Called and Political Gossip Is Becoming
Prevalent

With the calling of the caucuses DO
litical gossip has become rife. Re-
port has it that the Democrats are
somewhat at sea relative to their town
ticket, owing to the refusal OF some of
their best men to run. They will prob
ably nominate ticket rlade up of
Democrats and Clement Republicans.
Among the Democrats or fusionists
suggested for places on the license
board are Emory S. Hapris, John
Robinson. A. w. lockwood, Homer
A. Lyons and w. p Hogan.
The Republicans point with pride to
the record of the hoard Of selectmen
electC d lst year, which has certainly
made as few mistakes as any board Of
recent years, and talk of renominat-
ing all three if they viii run.
The board of listers the coming year
is likely to be largely new WHICHEVER
party wins, as most of the present
listers wish to retire. The present
board has made a good record and
showed its independence by raising
the assessment of several of the lead
ing Republicans in town though they
were elected on the Republican ticket.
For license commissioners, among
the Republicans suggested are John
S. Holden, j. r. Shurtlef, George F..
Graves, S. Huliug Blackmer, W. H.
Bradford and c. NJ. Graves.
Arthur c. Sweet is mentioned as a
candidate for constable and collector
on the Democratic ticket, and should
he be elected there is every reason to
believe that he would serve with credit
to himself and the town.

Y. M. c. A. ENTERTAINMENT.
Readings By Miss nellie Newton and Other At.
fractions last Evening.


The entertainment given by the Y.
NJ. c. A. was largely attended last
evening, in spite OF the bad weather.
Mr. Stehman, secretary Of the Asso-
citation, made few interesting re-
marks. There are now lS4 members,
and he hopes to have 200 before long.
This is a large gain over few months
ago.
The Glee Club, consisting Of fifteen
men, rendered three selections which
were greatly appreciated, as shown by
the encore which they received.
The first farce, "a Cloudy Day,
given by Miss Fanny Fillmore and
Curtis Burt, was one Of the best of It's
kind ever seen in the rooms, Ben
uiugtons young talent should be en-
couraged in this line, as they seem to
adapt themselves TO it.
The second farce, "'Rooney's Res
taurant, was a decided success and
deserves a deal of praise. AS "Pat
Rooney c. Lynn Wood was typ
ical Pat in makeup and dialect, and
Miss Dorothy Norton, too, won the
hearts of all the old maidens present.
The cast was as follows:
John Fearful, a Benedict, Lewis Morse
Pat Rooney, Son OF the Bogs,
Lynn Wood
Mrs Fearful, Miss Fanny Thatcher
Miss Catchem, an old maid
Miss Dorothy Norton
Samuel Swellhead, a dude.
Wesley Fauley
Reckless Ralph, terror OF the plains,
Roger Ramsdell
Miss nellie Newton rendered two
splendid selections and once more
clearly demonstrated her skill in her
chosen profession. Both voice and
gestures were perfect and her work
ranks her with the best. She was as
sisted in her reading by MacGregor
Ritchie and his violin.
Prof John Daley was the accompan-
ist.
