week Tuesday when it was announced
that the contents of the forty-eight
gallon cask seized at the lunch room
ON Depot Square in that city, January

and the cask refilled with a white,
watery substance.
After the raid on the afternoon Of
January /, the stuff was removed to
the basement of the city hall to the
room used for the storage of liquor
seized. At that time the contents of
the cask, making in all about fifteen
gallons, was tested by the police Off
GERS who made the raid and they

cask is not the same as at chat time.
The discovery that the liquor had
been drawn from the barrel and water

Richard Willett who were arrested in
connection with the lunch room raid
of January /. The State kept the
matter secret, however, until Tuesday,
when the continued case of these men
was again taken up.
The room where the stuff was
placed is located under the entrance
to the city hall. There are only two
keys known to be in existence that fit
the lock of the door. They are held
by the janitor of the building, g.. p.
Jones, and by Judge Fay of the city
court.
The entire police force of the city
was suspended Tuesday afternoon in
the following order issued by Mayor

EMBODIMENT FUND.

Principal Davenport of Montpelier
Seminary received letter, Thursday,
notifying him that the seminary is in
fair way to receive the sum of $50,
600 to be added to the endowment
fund. The money is not available
yet but certain New England philan-
thropist. whose name is withheld, has
announced that in his will a certain
portion of his estate has been allotted
to Montpelier Seminary. The exact
amount is uncertain, but it is known
that it will approximate the above
mentioned sum. The Preacher Aid
society of the Methodist church in
Vermont is also beneficiary of the
will to the extent of about 500, 600.
The generous donor is particular
that his name should not be known
at this time Indeed Mr. Davenport
himself, does not know who the SEM
mary S benefactor is, but it is known
that he is not Vermonter or Meth
odst and has no connections with the
church or any of its institutions so
far as is known. but is an intimate
friend of some Methodist clergymen
/ and laymeu. All the information that
can be obtained is that he is New
Highlander of advanced years and at
present is in California.
The seminary's good luck came in
this way. On one of Principal Daven-
, port S trips in the interests of the
school, he visited a prominent gradu-
ate and asked him to present the needs
of the seminary to a gentleman we'll
known for his philanthropic spirit.
! The gentleman was not in a position
| to aid just at that time, but suggest
ed a third party and together they
visited him. This was several months
ago The philanthropist was i'm
pressed with the story of the seminary
+ and its needs and promised to give
the matter consideration. but the out
| come of it was not known until last
night when Principal Davenport re-

make public announcement of the be-
quest.
The only stipulation in regard to
the endowment is that it must be used
for the aid of young men studying for
the christian ministry. OF course the
funds will not be available until the
! donor death. but its final receipt is
assured and the school and those in
| terested in it are to be heartily con-
| graduated.
While the gift is the direct result
of efforts of outside friends of the
seminary still in the final analysis the
credit must be given to Principal
Davenport, whose untiring zeal il
behalf Of the school made possible the
generous bequest.

DEATH OF IRA STONE.

Ira Stone died at Plainfield, January
September IA, 1912, and was the son
of Jeremy and Abigail Davenport
Stone. His parents moved from Mas
sachusetts in 1898 to a wild lot of
land in Plainfield, ree-fourths of a
mile from any other settler, where
they resided until their death Ira
always resided in Plainfield except
that the first year after he was twenty
one he lived in Massachusetts. He
remained on the old homestead until
1851 when he moved to farm at the
center of the town.
He joined the Baptist church when
very young, and was worthy, con-
sistent and Jealous member of the
church until his death. While firm
believer in those things which this
church deems essential. those who
conversed with him on the subject
dent thinker. The greater part of
his property he willed to the Baptist
missionary society.
Mr.. Stone was given many posi-
tions of trust by his townsmen and
would have received more had he been
willing to accept them. He was town
/ representative in 1882 and a member
of the general committee. Some one
introduced license liquor bill and
had it referred to that committee,
probably thinking that it would fav-
orably report the bill. When the COM
mittee met to consider the bill the
room was filled with interested spec
tators. Mr.. Stone said that with one
amendment he thought the bill would
be as good as any license law could
be. He moved to amend the bill SO
that the avails of the license fees
should go to support insane asylums
and prisons. This seemed to chill
the enthusiasm of its supporters and
the next day the House took the bill
from the committee and referred t. tc

The funeral services were held
on Friday afternoon at the Congrega-
tional church.

Act 81 Of the Legislature of 1902
provides that on and after February

instruments payable on demand may,
at the option of the holder be present

not apply to instruments made before

with growing custom of merchants

some cities in the State, particularly
in Burlington, the banks will take ad-
vantage of the law and close at noon
on Saturdays.

THE IHEM1iS Oh UB.

A swap party" is said to be an as
semblage of people invited to the
function, who bring very rare and
curious articles, securely done up in
wrappings, with which each individ-
ual member seeks to do up her fellow
guest by negotiating swap. Whether
or not any "boot'' becomes part of
the bargain the scribe is not at this
writing informed.
Miss Jennie Phinney invited her
sister members of the Themas combi-
nation to "swap party" at her
home on Thursday evening. The
members came to the number OF thirty
or more bearing, carefully concealed,
articles which each began to unload
upon the other. If on inspection the
bargain was not satisfactory the dis
satisfied sister sought a victim in some
other who also was disposed to tempt
fortune again. The spirit of venture
was so strong and continuous that,
like the swappee de boss" jockies of
the olden election days, who often
found themselves at the end of brisk
days business in possession of the
particular aggregation of skin and
bones with which they began in the
morning, they closed the evening IS

article of yirtu with which they
started out.
Owing to the indispositicn of the
vocal genius of the club, Madam
Gadski sang the Last of Summer"
in manner that her enraptured lis

Helen Dewey had the lowest score and
were awarded the high prize; Mrs

prize-the awards being taken from
the articles of the swapping pit.
