Randolph viii Be Dry.

The Randolph annual meeting voted
no license and the prospects ahead are
that the town will be dryer this year
than ever before. Up to town meeting
it had an agency and this has done a
fairly big business in serving out bottled
goods.
An effort has been made on the part of
one of the druggists to have licenses of
the fifth class granted but even this does
not appear to meet with favor. The
necessary five per cent of the number OF
voters in town has been secured but the
trouble lies with the doctors. The law
says that in order to grant licenses of
the fifth class an application shall be
be made to the commissioners signed by
five per cent Of the voters in town and
also majority of the doctors. The town
of Randolph has II practcing physicians
and of this number six of them have
positively declined to give their consent.
The people who want drinks of the fiery
nature will have to go out of town or i'm
port their stuff from outside. No steps
have been taken to appoint board of
liquor commissioners as it is thought
that there will be no need for such Of
hcerS for the next year.

Barre Carpenters Settle.

The prospects for building in Barre
have been materially strengthened by a
settlement which has just been reached
by the Master Builders association and
the Carpenters union. The agreement
was signed at a meeting of the confer
ence committees of both last week. This

ming along for several months.

shall be paid 33 81 cents for year, the
basis of payment being S2.70 per day. A
DAYS work for the first year shall con
stitute nine hours and eight hours for the
second year. The agreement runs for
two years from April l next. There is
a clause that future difficulties shall be
settled by committees ofarbitration from
both sides.
An agreement was also reached be-
tween the master builders and the
masons' union. The basis of the agree
ment is: Nine hours to constitute day S
work; the mems pay to be So per day;
wages to be paid weekly for one year;
over time and holidays to receive pay
and half; Sundays, pay for double time;
both parties shall keep standing com
mittees for the arbitration of all dis
putes; piece work for maSons to be paid
seven cents per square yard and where
they furnish the material, IL cents pei

come his housekeeper Mr.. Wood. who
is about SO years old, is wealthy farmer
residing in Pownal, just over the Ben
nington line, and transacts most of his
business there.
glMrs. Wood has been dead a number of
years so that it has been necessary for
him to hire houSekeeper. lie engaged
Mrs Burbridge and claims that he paid
her the $500 in advance. She did not re.
main long, and for that reason he claims
that she should return the money.
Mrs. Burbridge admits that he gave
her the money but denies that any agree
ment about it was made. She also claims
that Mr.. Wood grossly insulted her, anC
that was the reason why she left the
house. The suit was brought in Massa
chusetts as Mrs. Burbrdge is a residen
of that state.

GOOD OLD ARMY BEANS.
A Prepared by the Expert Military
''Chek" They Are Most Pala-
table Food,

"Beans are the soldiers mainstay."
says Thomas p. Dillon, retired Unit
ed States cavalry officer, according to
the Philadelphia Record 1.-The Amer
lean soldier, at a pinch, can equal the
performance of an Arab on a handful
of dried dates--he can ride and fight
all day on mere handful of beans,
properly prepared. There is othing
to equal the army baked bean. Your
celebrated Boston baked are but a
poor imita ton of the succulent article
turned out by a regular army cook.
There's anart in cooking them that no.
body but an army man can ever ac-
quire. I've been on service when for
week a time our menu consisted OF
beans for breakfast. beans for dinner
and beans for supper; and did the
troopers tire of the mOnOtOny?
Not bit of it. They sang for more,
and in spite of hard work and lack of
variety at mess TIE fellows actually
got fat. That demonstrated to me the
nutritive quality Of beans, and made
1t point to get into the good graces
of the cook and learn how to bake
them. 1t isn't such an ella borate proc
ess. but there's a trick in doing it
right. My friends are all fond Of beans
the way | cook them, and many time
I've been asked for the recipe, but
that's q thing | don't give away to
everyone. You see, people enjoy
dish all the better when they know it's
something that not everybody can get
up. 1t might take some of the zest
away if they could say of my beans:
i know how to make them"

MONEY GREW ON BUSHES.
Railway Section Gang In Ncbraskn n
Comes Upon Singular Find
by the Roads ide

The fairy tale of money growing
on bushes was lately realized along
the right of way of the Burlington
railroad between Hyannis and ALI
ance, says "a Lincoln (Neb.) report.
A gang of section men were at
work, when one of them noticed
something that looked like bill way
ing from the tangled top Of a sun
flower growing by the roadside. He
inves tigated. 1t was a treasury note
for $40.
He walked few steps farther and
there, nodding from branch of a bit
of dog tennel, was another bill of sim
liar denomination.
He called to his companions, and
the entire gang threw down their
tools and started on money hunt.
For three hours they searched up and
down the right of way and far atield.
At almost every yard their trou-
bic was rewarded by finding either
a five CT ten-dollar bill. Some bills
were tangled in the tops of weeds.
others half hidden in bushes along
the fence, and still others in the
stubble of the field.
The entire days cleanup of the
eight was So, 1876. When the find was
reported, word came from headquar-
ters that a money pouch containing
81. 800 had been lost from an express
shipment the day before.
The supposition is that the bag fell
out of the open car door and was
ground to pieces under the wheels.
and the contents were scattered to
the w,nds. This hypothesis is sup
ported by the later discovery of por-
tions of the damaged pouch.

KNOWLEDGE WAS POWER.
How Familiarity with the Chinese
Language Made = Woman
Countess.

One of the married women in dip
lOmatic circles at Washington is
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the ac-
complished niece of the Rus sian am
bassadOr, who is countess in her
own right, not by heredity, but by spe
cial grace of the czar, and curious
story is told of the manner in which
she won her title. 1t was when Count
Cassini had his fateful conference with
Ii Hung Chang at peking, long before
the Boxer trouble. The counts inter
prefer was away, for Lis call was un-
expected, and a the Chinese states
man could not speak Russian and the
Russian diplomat did not understand
Chinese the conference came to a
deadlock The counts niece, who haG
picked up something of the language,
stepped into the breach and the affair
was arranged to the satisfaction of
both parties. The Chinese empress
loaded her with presents, the czar's
government made note Of the service
performed. and when there was
question a couple of years ago of the
young lady's precedence at Washing
ton, where the count was then ambas-
sador, the car himself counfounded
her rivals by making her a countess,
This was something like rapid promo
ton for the lady.

THE FRUIT PLETHORA.
Fine Apples Fed to the Pigs Because
of the ndant Product
of the Orchards.

Rarely, if ever, has there been such
a superabundance of fruit as now
abuurds III ,.e New England orchards.
Thr , e the apple and pear trees
hang heavy under Lhe weight of their
enormous yield, and the ground be-
meath the trees is covered with the de
caNing Groupings. In some loca.itie,
fine 4Fp.~a ma, "e had for tEe picAing
and an ufte.' of half a dollar a barrel
for the fruit on the tree is eagerly ac-
cepted in the rural districts. Thou
sands of bushels are being fed to the
cattle and pigs and the cider mills are
gluttvu with raw material for the
presses. 1t seems pity to see such
IA large quantity of fine fruit going 20
waste. 1t is almost supertiuoUs to Of
fer suggestion in the line of thought
full philanthropy to DR.. Hale, but the
glutted condition of the orchards sug
gests that it might be a good idea to
renew his farmers fruit offering
scheme, which furnished such liberal
supply of free fruit to the poor people
of Boston when it was originally un-
dertaken. Undoubtedly a great many
bushels Of apples can now be had for
the asking.
