SUPPER 1T1RMORY HALL

The supper and entertainment held
in the armory hall Tuesday evening,
for the benefit of the Catholic church,
was a success. Four large tables were
set the length of the hall and fully
600 people partook of the very excel
lent fare prepared by members of the
st. Vincent De Paul society.
The galleries of the hall were filed
to their utmost capacity when the en-
tertainment following the supper was
rendered. L. Freeman Butterfly re-
cited pleasing selection and for an
encore gave Morrison version of
Faust" which was greatly enjoyed by
the audience. George Laviolette and
Louis Roberts each rendered music
with voice and feet while George
Willette, assisted by j. Fl. Campbell,
used the tamborine to good advantage.
Vocal solos were rendered by Miss
Nellie McNally of Burlington and G.
II. Wilder charmed the audience with
the melodious tones of his flute Sew
eral short speeches were made by Rev.
W. j. O'Sullivan, Mayor Frank Cory,
Hon. j. A. DeBoer and William
Theriault.
1t is not yet known how much was
realized from the entertainment but a
goodly sum is expected.

Letter to Joseph q. Brown.
Montpelier, vt.

Dear Sir: Your business is, when
q house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build new one. 1t is
a goou business. Queer that the world
got on so long without it.
We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
down.
You insure the houses that burn !;
we insure the houses that don't You
have the ashes and smoke all the
houses are ours.
We paint Lead and Zinc Devoe.
We sell the paint to painters; we
don't paint.
Lead and oil is the old-fashioned
paint. Devoe is zinc ground in with
the lead and linseed OIL the best
paint in the world: and the cheap
est, because it takes fewer gallons
than mixed paints and it wears twice
as long as lead and oil. Nobody wants
poor paint; there's lots of it, though,
in the world.
A. NJ Griffen, Plainfeld. N. j.,
writes: Mr.. Aaron Higgins, of Plain
field, always used 10 gallons of mixed
paint for his house. Last Spring he
bought Is gallons Of Devoe and had 4
gallons left,
Yours truly,

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Michael G. Morgan, Jr., the thir-
teen year old son of M. G. Morgan Of
IL Downing street, met with a serious
accident, Sunday afternoon, by the
explosion of percussion cap such as
is used to explode dynamite. AS a
result of the accident, portions of the
thumb and forefinger on the right
hand, and the whole of the thumb
and first two fingers of the left hand
have been amputated. 1t appears
that about week ago a younger
brother Of the injured boy and Willie
Gould were playing on the hillside
when Willie found in an old tin can
back of George CoIby's house six of
these percussion caps. The boys did
not know what they were, however,
and Willie sold four of them to Isaac
Jones for cent, gave one to his com
panion, and kept one himself. The
Morgan boy took his home and gave
it to his brother. Michael put it in
his pocket and forgot all about it un-
til Sunday when he found it there
about one o'clock, while sitting ON
the piazza. He took a needle and
picked the head of the cap open and
scraped off the soft part. His baby
brother was sitting on his knee as he
worked. The needle struck the hard
part and there was an sharp explo sion,
taking the boy ) finger off and blowing
pieces of the cartridge into his right
cheek and his legs, but not hurting
the baby at all, although 80 close.
The boy walked into the house to his
father saying Look what I've got
now," as he held hi; bleeding hands
out before him. Doctors Burr, Wat
son and Chandler were called and the
fingers were amputated and the wound
dressed. The boy stood the pain of
having his coat drawn off over his
hands rather than have it cut and
through it all showed good nerve.

MINORS CONTTCTED

The first prosecution in Washington
county for violation of the new liquor
law with reference to furnishing, re-
suited in a conviction. The case came
up before Justice @. e. Woodward
in Roxbury Monday forenoon upon a
complaint signed by the States at
torney. 1t seems that about week
before Perry Dickin son, aged 10 years,
and Nelson Bell. Jr., aged II years,
for the sport of it, gave Homer Chase
some liquor so that he became drunk
Chase stayed on the hay in the hotel
barn until late at night when his
father found him. The father, M. e.
Chase, decided to put stop to that
sort of joking and entered com
plaint
The boys each pleaded guilty when
arraigned, to furnishing. Bell was
sentenced to Rutland for three months
and Dickinson to the industrial school
for the remainder of his minority.
Then each case was referred to Proba-
tion Officer Zed S Stanton to see if he
considered them fit ones to go under
his control. He reported favorably
and the court suspended sentence and
put the boys in his charge after each
had paid $3.50, costs of prosecu-
ton. Young Chase was before the
court and paid fine of So and costs
for intoxication.
Burton K. Bailey appeared for the
state. the respondents not being rep
resented by counsel.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.

Rev. e. NJ Fuller, who resigned his
pastorate over the Baptist church in
Barre recently to take the position of
field agent of the Vermont Sunday
School association was in this city
Sunday in the interests of the work.
He spoke in Bethany church in the
morning and visited several Sunday
schools during their sessions. In the
evening there was a union service of
Trinity, Bethany and the Baptist
church in the vestry of Trinity church,
and Mr.. Fuller addressed large au-
dience on the present conditions of
Sunday schools III Vermont, and the
proposed work of the association.
The speaker gave some interesting
statistics of church attendance in YER
mont. He said that fifty per cent of
the population were non-church goers.
The reason he said was because the
old stock had gone out, and the
churches had not adjusted themselves
to the new population that has come
in. The politicians he said know
where every newcomer stands politi-
cally but the churches don't know
anything about them.
Concerning Sunday schools he said
the approximate enrolment in the
State was "a, 600 and of these 43, 600
were between the ages of five and
eighteen. OF this number the speaker
said l2 600 were Roman Catholic chill
dren and he added, if the protestant
families looked after the interests of
their children as the Catholics do there
would be no need of Sunday school
associations: According to the school
enrolment he said here are 90, 600
children in the State who do not at
tend Sunday school at all and ccm-
paratively few young men between the
ages of eighteen and forty-four are
enrolled
The purpose of the association he
said was to work through other organ
izations in the attempt to cover the
| whole State. The association. he said,
can do what denominations cannot do,
and this was its object.
