United States as owner OF the enter
prise) shall be free from the oblga-
tions imposed by the railroad conces-
sion, excepting as to the payment at

Which Declares That the German Gunboat
Was Twice Fired Upon While Passing the

Carlos from Maracaibo under date OF

"On the 18TH inst, while the Pan
ther was passing the Maracaibo bar, she
was unexpectedly attacked by Fort
San Carlos, which opened heavy fire
on her. To this the Panther replied,
and cannonade was exchanged for
half an hour. Owing to the difficulties
OF navigation the Panther then desisted.
In order to exact an immediate pun

B1SK EFT BALL.

The Montpelier Seminary basket
ball team suffered rather pronounced
defeat Monday at the hands of the
Edmunds high school of Burlington.
From the first of the play when the
whistle blew for the first half Ed
munds seemed to play snapper game
than their opponents; however, the
seminary made good fight and
many more baskets would have been
thrown by the Burlington team had
it not been for the vigilance and alert
ness of the seminary team in watch
ing and guarding their men. 1t was
a rather rough game and the whistles
of the officials were constantly blow
ing to call fouls on one side or the
other.
The second half was faster than
the first and Montpelier showed a
marked improvement in the play, in
this half, as the final score will in
dictate. Several times in the game
they would AXE squirt and give a
good exhibition of team work but Ed
munds played more consistently and
for this reason the game was little
one sided At the end of the second
half the score was 81 to 10. There
were no special features.
Huntington played a strong game for
the seminary and was applauded sew
eral times by the audience for the
vim he put into the game.
Following is the line up:
NJ s.: Forwards, Wing and Ham
ilton; centre, Bruce: guards. Scott
and Huntington. Edmunds high
school: Forwards, Buck and Beach
centre. Andriani. guards, Thomas
and Watkins. Goals from the field

Buck 3; Beach D.; Thomas Watkins

The Vermont Phoenix, one of the
most pronounced opponents of license,
but now fair and impartial support
er of the new, law makes the follow
ing suggestion which is worthy of
careful consideration The first rule
of administration of the new license
law ought to be: No licenses shall
be granted to men who have been
well-known and persistent violators
of the prohibitory law. To grant IL
censes to such men will be an affront
to the better sentiment of any COM
munity, and it will be in effect dec
laration at the outset that the enforce
ment of the new law is to be not bet
ter than that of the prohibitory law
has been.

The Monday Evening club up in
East Berkshire has hit upon an idea
that similar organizations in every
part of the State might initiate with
profit. This club has taken up sys-
tematic study of Vermont and at a
meeting held this week the program
included such topics as, Vermont
Politics, Vermont Industries and
Institutions, s." Current Events, J"
John G. SAKE" etc. The evening
was varied by readings from 'Danvis
Folks" and Saxes poems. Such a
program as this contains much that
is interesting and valuable to a Yer
monter. Too many of our literary,
and kindred clubs deive deep into the
lore of other ages, and in fancy wan
der about the stone leaps of Egypt or
sail the streets of Venice with the
picturesque gondolier, forgetting all
the while that Vermont has a re-
markably fascinating history and a
present that is full of interest. YER
mont has produced or nourished scores
of men and women whose lives are
entirely worthy of study. and there
is scarcely rood of ground in the
whole State that does not bear some
interesting connection with her his
tory. Green Mountain boys and
girls of all ages would find it helpful
to be familiar with these things, and
how much more sensible it would be,
and how much more genuine profit
would be derived, if, before explor-
ing fields that can be reached only by
the imagination Vermonters would
take few little journeys nearer
home.

Vermont journalism loses unique
contributor in the retirement of the
Bradford Opinions long time CORES
pondent at North Thetford There
was quaintness about the news items
from the field covered by this cor
respondent that placed them apart
from those of any other newspaper
writer in the State and although they
were as Greek for the most part TO
one unacquainted with the field,
nevertheless there was an originality
of expression about them that was al
ways refreshing, Probably no town
correspondence printed in Vermont
was so widely read by newspaper
men throughout the State as was this,
and it will be a matter of personal
regret to many that the venerabl lie
writer has laid aside her pen.
