which will save him time, steps and
money.
The main Offices of the company are

Not Excelled.

The large magazine section of the
last number OF The Boston Sunday
Herald was a notably fine effect in
these days of fast newspaper work and
was probably not excelled by any
American newspaper. The arrange
ment and artistic beauty of the illus
trations, so admirably brought out by
the skillful work of the engravers, and
excellence of the printing produced a
result that was greatly admired.

STILL WRESTLING.
Supreme Court Has Not Yet Made up its Mud
on Law.

The supreme court is still wrestling
with the question whether the new Ii
cense law is constitutional AT least
the court has not yet reported to the
governor.
The dispute was over the question
whether section 100 and the three fol-
lowing sections of the license law
passed by the Legislature recently are
in effect, Section 100 reads as follows:
"This act shall take effect on the first
Tuesday in March, A. d. 1893, pro-
vided that If majority of the ballots
to be cast as hereinafter provided
shall be no, then this act shall take
effect the first Monday in December,
A. D. 1906; but as to sections lOl, lO2
and l03 this act shall take effect from
its passage. "
The three last sections apply to call
ing a referendum meeting, the can
vassing Of votes and relating to the
conduct of such meetings.
These inconsistencies IN the license
act have been under newspaper dis
cussion for some time and ii was to
clear up the atmosphere that Gov
Mccullough submitted the matter to
the court.
1t was plainly the intent of the legis-
lature that section 100 should go into
effect from the passage of the bill, but
it was said that if the supreme court
decided that section 100 is not now in
force, that virtually throws out the
three following sections which provide
for a referendum vote and in that case
the license act would take effect Feb. l
next, without being referred to the
people.

Will. N. Holt Remembered.
About thirty-fve or forty people
from Bennington and SALISBURY de-
scended upon Mr. and Mrs VIM Houran,
the superintendent and matron of the
Town Farm, last Monday evening
taking the ingredients for an oyster
supper, and also a table cloth and
napkins for Mrs Houran, it-being the
anniversary of her birth. Everyone
apparently enjoyed the occasion and
returned to their respective homes in
the sma' hours Tuesday morning.
VIM M. Holt was pleasantly sur
prised on his return from church last
Friday evening, the anniversary of
his birth and wedding, to find that
during his absence a party of about
thirty friends had taken possession of
his house and brought with them sea
of oak dining room chairs. DR. Wash
burne made the presentation speech,
to which Mr. Holt responded as we'll as
his emotions would permit. Refresh
ments were served and a pleasant time
was had by all.

In Arlington
Mrs Cornelia L. Burdette, widow of
the late Jesse Burdette, and a woman
well known through the county, died
at her home in Arlington Sunday.
Mrs Burdette was a daughter of John

state regent of the Vermont society,
and also a member OF the National
Grand chapter. She was one of the
leading members OF the st James Epis-
copal church, as well as one of the
oldest. She was also prominently
identified with the Women's Auxiliary.
She leaves one son, John Lathrop
Burdette, paymaster Of the New York
Central railroad.
Her funeral was largely attended
from st James church Tuesday after
noon, the rector, Rev S. II. Watkins,
officiating. The d. A. r. we're present
and there we're many floral tributes.

ORACLE AGAIN SPEAKS.
Thought Il Was Joke But Gains Added Honor
for Wisdom.

for Wisdom.
Emory S. Harris, practical joker as
well as public spirited citizen, last Sat
urday played a joke on young man
of the village and thereby won the lat
ter's eternal gratitude.
The genial Emory is a veritable
walking encyclopaedia Of useful infor-
nation concerning mundane affairs,
and is often consulted by his friends.
The young man In question, when
perplexed by the problems of life such
as "Win the referendum bill be en-
dorsed by the voters?" or "When will
Vermont go Democratic?" invariably
calls upon Mr. Harris for the desired
information and never fails to elicit a
satisfactory answer.
Last Saturday he saluted Mr. Harris
with this query: "Where can one get
some coal in Bennington?" "Why,
down at Loring's, ofcourse, respond
ed Emory very grayely.
The young man was sceptical for
once, but, knowing Emory had never
failed him before, he hastily turned
his steps toward Depot-st. II hap
pened that the firm mentioned had re-
ceived three carloads Of coal that hour
the first in a week-and the order
was soon taken. He didn't fail to re-
turn and thank Mr. Harris, and now
considers him a greater oracle than
ever.

HOME TEAM WON.
High School Basket Ball Team Defeated Troy
fiigh School.

High School.
BY a score of 7 to 6 the high school
basket ball team on Tuesday evening
defeated the Troy high school in a
closely contested but interesting game.
Both teams lacked practice and the
Bennington boys were deficient in team
work but they showed they have the
making of one of the best basket ball
teams in the state.
There was large attendance and
much interest which argues well for the
games to come. Preceding the main
contest there was game between two
school teams, the 'Hustlers" and the
Boomers won by the latter, 8 to 2.
