A LARGE CROWD.
St Pahieks Entertainment at Academy Hall a
Grand Success.


The entertainment and concert given
at Academy Hall last Tuesday even
ing by the societies of St Francis de
Sales church, was one Of the most sue
cessful ever held. About 1000 people
were 10 attendance, the hall being
filed to its utmost capacity
The decorations of the hall were un-
usually artistic, the stage being
trimmed with green and old gold,
which, with the brilliant lighting pro
duced a beautiful effect.
The program was excellently rem
dered, each number being received
with great applause, and each partici-
pant responded to encores. The I'm

Miss Isabel Ten Eyck, Miss Georgine
Theo Avery, Thomas Impett, j. Allen

companist, and Miss Lena NJ. Eggers,

License Commission Has Com.
'pIeted Organization.
DR.. II. c. DAY CHAIRMAN
Board Now Ready to Receive Applications
All Must be in On or Before
Friday, March z7.

Bennington's board of license com
missioners met Tuesday and elected
DR. II. G. Day chairman, and under
the law be is also clerk All three
qualified by taking oath Of Office and
r.. S. Drysdale has forwarded to Gov
Mccullough his resignation as a JUS
tice of the peace.
The board considered the price of
licenses but did not take any action
pending an investigation by Hon o.
NJ. Barber, attorney for the town, rel
ative to the question whether the same
person can have licenses Of more than
one class.
1t was voted to require the license
fee to be paid in advance by certified
check on one of the Bennington banks.
1t was also ordered that each applica-
tion must be accompanied by the sum
OF So to pay for advertising in two
papers printed in the county, as re-
quired by law, and to pay for posting
notices.
Each member of the board is pre-
pared to receive applications for Ii
censes up to and including Friday,
March 27, after which time they will be
advertised and acted on according to
law.
1t is probable that the local hotels
will be granted licenses, which will
limit the number of saloons. There
are also requests for one or more IL
censes at North Bennington.
The price of druggists licenses was
fixed at $40.
As to the bonds required Of those
who get licenses the American Fidelity
Company of Montpelier, advertised in
this paper and of which Charles N.
Powers is agent, will be accepted as
surety by the board and has an
nounced It's willingness to issue bonds
of this character.
No license viii be granted to be ex-
ercised in dwelling house nor in a
room or shop having any interior con-
nection or means of communication
with a dwelling or tenement of any
family. Business in any saloon must
be transacted in the front, visible from
the street.
Several applicstions for license are
in the hands of the board, but it is
not probable that there will be the
number of applications that was an
ticipated several weeks ago.

The Hansbrough Bill.

Senator Hansbrough's public lands
bill, introduced in the senate yester-
day, will excite great interest thruout
the west In effect, it repeats the stone
and timber. act, which has for years
been a prolific source of fraud or
charges of fraud. The Geographic
summary of the bill may not be COM
plete enough to make it possible to
consider the bill carefully at this time,
but some Of it's points call for con-
sideration.
The bill provides that hereafter
stone and timber lands of the public
domain shall not be sold, but that the
stone and timber on them may be sold
at auction In such quantities as may
be advisable. Mr.. Hansbrough thinks
that if the government should retain
the fee to such lands it would lead to
REPRESENTATION and thus avoid the per
manent injury to the country which
now results from careless private
ownership, which is Indifferent after
the timber has been removed. This is
true, no doubt but we should like to
see coupled Will IL SUITS piONAo1oll Iva
the cutting of the timber under for
estry regulations. The government
should see to it that the lands are not
stripped. slashed and fired and should
sell only ripe timber, thus applying
forestry principles to the public tim
Der lands at once instead of waiting
| until the whole of the standing forest
has been removed. One good result
| of the Hansbrough bill, if it becomes
a law will be, that it will tend to
prevent additions to immense land
| holdings in the western forest states.
| Those which now exist owe their orr
gin largely to the stone and timber
act
Of course, it will be objected that by
selling the timber at auction, the gov
eminent will deprive the poor man of
the chance he no whas to make a little
money out of Uncle Sans generosity.
But the poor man is not the one who
profits most from the present arrange
ment--and all Of them profit at cost
to the public welfare. 1t is time for
Uncle Sam to go into the timber bust
ness and get all he can out Of his for
ests, while keeping in view the future
and the rights of posterity.

Many men and women underestimate

without words. Such people are often
surrounded by those who are craving SOME
expression Of affection. some word of APP

best work Is sometimes done with shut
teeth and a fixed purpose, in dead silence,
SO far as the world is concerned, without
a murmur of applause or ar word of
thanks; but this is not the way in which
work ought to be done among intelligent
men and women, and it is not the way
in which, as rule, the best work is
evoked from the greatest number Of peo-
pie. The majority Of men and women
get the best out of themselves when they
are in a congenial atmosphere. This is
particularly true of those finer kinds OF
work which express individuality, quality

Sam Houston to Fort Gibson, to rest in
the national cemetery here She was
married to Sam Houston at Fort Gibson,
where her people resided, not long after
his arrival from Tennessee, where he
resigned the office of governor of that
state, which movement is shrouded i'll
mystery SO far as history is concerned.
Miss Rogers is said to have been very
beautiful, and that Houston knew her in
Tennessee, before her removal here. Chief
elect Rogers of the Cherokee nation is one
of her nearest relatives. Mrs. Heffernan,
landlady of the Trent house, is also Il
relative. Both have consented to the re-
lnoval of the remains. which now lie at

that Mississippi deserves credit for, that
1T has a judge and jury that have gone

is worth while to remark that it is
claimed that in civil actions in the south
the negro generally has the best OF it. SO
natural is it for the jury to sympathize
with the weaker brother.
