The 1DMIR1L'S PORTRAIT

friedrich Vinton of Boston, who
painted the portrait of Admiral Clark
for the State was at the State House
yesterday to complete arrangements for
the permanent hanging of the picture.
He decided that the most desirable
place for it to remain is between the
main corridor and the door of the
State treasurer office, where the
pictures of the officers in the First
Vermont Regiment during the Span
ish American war now hang. Ad-
miral Clark portrait will fit in there
and the regimental picture will be
changed to the opposite side Of the
main entrance, by the office of the
sergeant at arms.
Mr.. Vinton yesterday gave the
painting coat of varnish which ma
terially improves it's appearance.
When hung a sheet of plate glass will
cover the canvas and protect it from
all harm. Mr.. Vinton is to order the
glass in Boston and as soon as it reach
es here the picture will be hung.

CASE OF POISONING.

Middlebury, Jan. 1.-THE mystery
of the strange illness of the family
of Frank B. Brown, station agent at
Whiting, which is supposed to be due
to accidental poisoning, and which
caused the death of Mrs Brown on
Saturday and may prove fatal to the
husband and son, is still unsolved
At eight O'Clock last evening re-
ports from Whiting regarding their
condition, state that Mr.. Brown is
worse than he was that morning and
that the son. who was not expected
to live during the night has rallied "A
trife and is able to take a very small
amount of nourishment. The father
is unable to retain food in his stomach
and the physicians in attendance say
that both father and son have but a
vestige of n chance to recover No
report has been received from the
State laboratory ms to the analysis of
the stomach of the late Mrs. Brown
and it's contents. But is is understood

TELEPHONE GRO NTH.

The number of telephones in opera
lion in the Montpelier district at pres
ent is an even 1, 200. During the past
year there has been net increase of
145. This was principally IN the two
cities of Barre and Montpelier al
though additions have been made in
many of the smaller towns covered by
the district. 1t takes quite large
force of employees to look after the
various departments of the work and
from Manager Lyon down, all find
plenty of work always on hand. The
present force in the Montpelier office
numbers eleven including the manag-
er, bookkeepers and operators. At
Barre seven are kept busy Add to
these five inspectors and from five to
ten linemen employed all the time and
it will be seen that looking after a
1, 200 telephone district involves con-
siderable labor and expense.

A WINTER MORNING IN YER
MONT.

The last and deepest gloom forsakes
the earth
AS twilight cometh, clad in robe Of
gray;
A solemn herald of new days birth,
With scarce hint of mornings
grand display.
A veil of finest snow, unstirred by
Has fallen, soft and spotless, in the
night;
1t drapes grotesquely fences, rocks and
trees,
Till little meets the eye but purest
white.
The eastern sky warns with the tints
of dawn
The mountains contrast strongly
with the light,
The streaky vapors drift and linger on
To first conceal and then reveal their
height.
These dwindling clouds, each tinged
lively hue,
Do brighten swiftly as the moments
speed;
No painted scene can match the match
less view,
Nor choicest words suffice the poets
need.
The early sunbeams redden Camels
Hump,
Ere long the lesser SUBMITS catch
the glow,
From ridge to ridge the rosy bushes
jump,
And giant shadows stretch along the
snow.
The silence yields to sounds unheard
before
( An engines warning blast to clear
/ the road,
Then rushing train outstrips, with jar
and roar,
The patient oxen toiling with their
load.
Fast fall the blows of choppers on the
hill,
The logman's chains clink sharply as
J they drag,
The saws loud whir is borne from
distant mill,
And tinkling bells announce the doc.
tors nag.
The village chimneys send their col
umns high,
Weird, frosted pictures from'the win
dows melt
And ruddy cheeks of people passing by
Are tokens of the pleasa 1T vigor felt
Man to his labor or his pleasure goes,
The charm of morning can no longer
stay,
For bustling life succeeds the nights
repose
And ceaseless motion marks the hours
of day.

BARRE FIREMEN DANCE.

The seventh annual concert and ball
under the auspices of the Barre Fire
mems club was held at Miles hall in
that city Thursday evening, and, as in
the past, it was great social and fin
ancial success. From eight to nine
Blaisdell's orchestra of Concord, N.
H., Carlyle w. Blaisdell director,
rendered an excellent progam before
an audience which completely filled
the hall. The grand march was led
by Chief and Mrs. Campbell and the
pretty gowns of the ladies made it a
very pleasing spectacle. The floor
was in charge of @. o. Averill with
Q. H. Campbell and Ed Tobin as aids.

LOCAL OPTION.

Rutland, Jan. 9.-About 100 men,
bers of the Vermont Local Option
League met and banqueted at the Ber-
wick House Wednesday evening.
Frank W. Agan of Ludlow, president
of the league, introduced Percival w.
Clement as toastmatser. The former
gubernatorial candidate made an adj
dress of considerable length in which
he attacked the prohibitory law along
the same lines as during the campaign
and said the people of Vermont are
Overwhelmingly against it. Observe
the signs of the times. A large major
ity of the last Republican convention
favored license-local option law, a
complete change from years past The
Democratic party favors license almost
to a man. In the Legislature that
has just adjourned there were found
only "a out of the 245 members of the
House of representatives, who might
by their action be classed as prohibit
| tionists. Those 81 representated con-
stituency of less than one fourth of
the population of the State.
And too, looking at it from another
standpoint, it has been estimated that
at least one-third of those who voted
| for Mccullough favored license. If
|
is conservative, you may add 10, 600 to
the combined Democratic and license
vote in the State. That would give us
2S, 600 plus 10, 900 plus 2, 000-45, 600
and that believe is the license vote
in the State today, and tallies with
the numerical strength of the two par
ties in the House of Representatives
in the last Legislature as have just
stated it.
e. d. Raymond of Fair Haven spoke
on "The Latter Day Prohibition,
paying his respects to Joseph Battel
of Middlebury. Other speakers were
j. f. Enright of Windsor, on "Tht
Agency of the Saloon; Joseph Ault
of Burlington on 1.-The Open Saloon
u. H. Ellis of Fair Haven on License

tiunity," and p. NJ. Meldon of Rut
land told some personal Observation
on the Workings Of the Prohibitory
Law.
Washington county was represented
by Charles A. Smith of Montpelier
and W. B. Mayo of Mortified.
Col. Frank l.. Greene, editor of thu
st. Adams Messenger, sent his regret
at being unable to attend.

midwinter hurricane struck this city
Yesterday in which the wind reached
a velocity of sixty-four miles an hour.
Hardly had the State Legislature adj
iourned when the windows in the
House and Senate chambers were
driven in the by the wind Heavy
glass in the skylight was blown down
and fell with crash into the Capitol
grounda, narrowly missing severaT
persons. Decorations for the inaugu-
raj ball were ruined, portion of the
Capitol roof was torn off and the
cupola windows beaten in. Many

Omaha, Neb., Jan. IA severe
storm struck Omaha and portions of
| Nebraska and Iowa late yesterday
afternoon and continued until late
| hour at night. Telegraph and tele-
phone wires were Frustrated, cutting
off many towns from communication
with the outside world, In this city
| the wind was of sufficient velocity to
do some damage. The temperature
| is at the freezing point.
st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 7.-Meage1
reports have reached st. Paul of q
terrific blizzard raging in South Da.
kota and moving rapidly eastward.
/ Sioux Falls, S. D., is almost entirely
cut off from the world, as but one
| wire is working between that palce
and Sioux City, Ia, and this is used
exclusively by the railroads for trair
service orders.
The storm struck Sioux City soor
after dark, starting in with fine
rain, which quickly turned to snow.
| The thermometer sank rapidly and
the wind rose almost to hurricane
velocity. Fears are entertained for
settlers in the country. Fuel is scarce
in some sections and the cold wave
which naturally will follow the biz
zard will cause much suffering

DISCUSS REF ERENDUM.

The entire Supreme Bench of Ver-
mont, with the exception of Chief
Judge Rowell, met at the Pavilion on
Thursday to discuss some features of
the high license act framed by the
last Legislature. The meeting was cal
led Wednesday by Judge Rowell and

present. 1t was learned later the
chief judge was suffering from a Sc
we're attack of neuralgia and could not
to be present. They convened at the
request of Gov Mccullough and the
question or questions under discus.
sion were propounded by him. Judge
Tyler acting as chief judge in Judge
Rowell's absence said there was moth
ing to give out for publication. He
said, however, that the questions asked
concerned sections 100, 1O2, 1903, and
104 of the license law; the point being
whether or not the sections named are
already in effect, and if so, to what
extent.
These sections have been widely
discussed during the past few weeks.
Section 100 provides when the law
shall 60 into effect, and also that the
three sections following shall take
effect from the passage of the act.
These three sections provide for the
referendum and one question is, Can
section 100 which is not in force Until
after the referendum is taken give life
to the sections following as it assumed
to do?
