SEMINARY TICTORTO US.

The Montpelier Seminary base ball
team defeated the Edmunds high
school team in Burlington on Monday
afternoon, by score of 8 to Z. The
game was hard fought contest and
the seminary boys won In the eighth
inning by making three runs. Coli
son pitched n strong game for the
home team but did not have che sup
port that the team gave Parker. The
former struck ont eight men to the
latter's nine. The Montpelier boys
played solid ball, making six errors
to Fheir opponents eight. The Ed
munds high school is one of the hard
est propositions the seminary boys
had to run up against this year and
the fact that they defeated the Bur-
lintgon team on their own grounds is
evidence that the team is exception
ally strong this year.

EPWORTH LEAG UE.

The fourteenth anniversary of the
Epworth League was celebrated at
Trinity church. Sunday evening.
Printed programs of special music,
with hymns by Charles Wesley, were
used Rev. w. M. Newton, presiding
elder of the distr ict, was present and
spoke in an interesting and forcible
way for few minutes on the spirit
ual force and character of the young
people. He urged the young men who
had reached the age of maturity to be
independent in the sense of being able
to say No, and to resist an evil force
because it is evil. The speaker said
it was easy for some thieves to refrain
for time from stealing because they
were confined at Windsor, and that it
was easy for others to be good because
they were placed in environments
that demanded it. hut what he wanted
to see was the young man who could
choose for himself when it took
strength, and thus build up and show
MS character.
After the address by Mr.. Newton,
Rev. L. X. Willman very fittingly in
troduced Rev. A. l.. Cooper, d. D.,
of Randolph, who was pastor of Trim
ity church in this city forty years ago
this spring, when the Methodist
church was situated where the new
Hillside building now stands on
Court street. Mr. Cooper is very
old man and has been an inspiration
to both to the younger and older
members of the Methodist conference
for good many years; however, he
holds his age we'll and speaks with
a good deal of spirit. He spoke for
few minutes on the need of the
young to carry on the religious work
of the world, citing many resting
experiences from his own religious
! career.

Letter to G. E. Woodard.
MOntpelier. Vt.


Dear Sir: 1t is all very we'll for us
to say that it takes fewer gallons of
Devoe Lead and Zinc to paint house
than it does of mixed paints but you
want to know why.
For the same reason that it takes
less good cows milk to feed baby
than it does skinned milk.
Most mixed paints are fifteen to
eighty per cent. adulteration--incon
ceivable, but true. Water isn't paint.
Barytes isn't paint. Whiting isn't
paint. BeDzine isn't paint. Petro-
leum isn't paint. Fish-oil isn't paint.
More of these are a right part of a
good paint. None of these do the
work that belongs to paint.
All they do is to fill the can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc is one hundred
per cent. paint. The adulterated
mixed paints are only twenty to
eighty five per cent paint.
Mixed paint ought to be from fifteen
to eighty per cent cheaper than Devoe
Lead and Zinc-no the worst of them
oughtn't to be anything. They waste
your money; you not only must buy
more gallons, but you must pay the
painter for spreading the extra num-
Der of gallons; and painting costs
three times as much as the paint.
Yours truly,
+. W. Devoe q Co.
"a New York.
P. S. Abbott & Bailey sell our paint.

planks, st-ingers and main beams on
which the bridge rests were found in
extremely rotten condition and de-
cidedly unsafe. Judging from appear
ance and condition of the timbers the
repairs will have to amount to practi-
cally building new bridge. The

been carried away altogether had it
not been for the block on which it
was built. About twenty years ago
it was rebuilt again by Capt A. o.
Slayton and since that time has been
repaired from time to time by new
stringers, planks, etc. The bridge
has endured good many severe tests
from the ice going out of the branch
every year and has always been one
of the centres of attraction and appre-
hension during high water.

Montpelier Seminarys star of for
day when they crossed bats with the
st. Albans high school in the second
game Of their trip. The boys from
the Capital buckled down to swift
ball, playing an errorless game and
piling up bundle of six Guns to
their opponents one, and this was
done by using Hull the pitcher of the
second team for six innings only call
ing on the service of Parker for the
home stretch in the last three innings.
The st. Albans boys put up a strong
game only making two errors but they
failed in their efforts to hit the ball
beyond the reach of the alert in field e.
ers of the Seminary team. One Of
the noticeable features of the game
and also an evidence of the superior
ity of the Seminary boys playing
shown was their fast and effective
base running which left an open place
ON first bast most of the time. On
the other hand Miner demonstrated
at the first of the game that it the
home team boys were going to try any
bases on him they would have to get
good start, and this proved sufficient
warning for they were unable to steal
base Hull proved good man in
the box, striking out five men in six
innings and allowing only one man to
walk.
