M idd ebury Graded School Notes.

+" Principal Fred Allen, and Miss Kings
ley, Miss Polan and Miss Potter, teach
ers of the New Haven High school,
visited the Middlebury school last week
Wednesday.
Miss Mellen made an over-Sunday visit
to friends in Fair Haven.
The High school foot ball team met
the team of the Rutland High school on
the college campus last Saturday and
defeated them with a score of II to O..
This is big victory for Middlebury as
the Rutland team was much heavier and
had been coached from the first of the
season. A return game, the last game
of the season for Middlebury, will be
played at Rutland next Saturday.
Principal Howes gave the boys of the
foot ball team a feed at his home last
Saturday evening in honor of their VIC
tory. The boys say they had better
feed and more fun than they had on the
evening of the Vergennes game at Mid
dlebury.
School closed at o'clock last Monday
afternoon, to allow such of the pupils
as wished to attend the game be-
tween st. Lawrence university and
Middlebury college.
Photographer Jackson photographed
the High school foot ball team last Sat
urday. 1t the expression on some of the
boys faces had been more natural, the
picture would have been good one.

ST. Mary's Church. Fair.

st. Mary's church fair, which closed
last week, was as could easily have been
preceived by all, an unqualified success,
both socially and financially. AS one
entered the town hall on any evening
of the fair his surroundings would at
once show him that the committee in
charge had seen to it that the right
people had been assigned to the right
places, according to their different
talents, whether their labor had been
directed toward either the taseful and
attractive arrangements of the various
booths and their trimmings, or in the
refreshment parlors all of which, if
possible, exceeded any previous effort
Middlebury orchestra was, as usual, in
evidence every evening of the fair, and
fully upheld their well-earned reputa-
ton.
1t has been the custom of the commit
tee to provide an entire change in the
tainment program for each evening of
the fair, making task of no small
dimension. But they showed them
selves to be fully equal to the task, as
the entertainment every evening was of
such diversified character and all so
pleasing that the small sum of admission
seemed paltry by comparison. The
different acts included exhibitions, of
both musical and dramatic-and excen-
tric-skill, combining series of pleas
urable surprises, which were fully ap-
preciated by the large crowds which
were attracted nightly, whose general
good behavior and liberality were ap-
preciated in turn by the management
The only regret expressed was regarding
the capacity of the town hall, which
difficulty could only be relieved by con-
tinuing the fair one more night than was
originally planned, which, by request,
was done. making the fair last six even
ings instead of five.
The wants of the inner man and
woman were fully supplied, both by the
ice cream, lunch and soft drink"
booths; and on three evenings elaborate
suppers were served by the ladies in
the lower hall.
Tie total proceeds of the fair will
amount to nearly $1,000, which sum rep
resents the offerings, for the greater part,
of the poor toward the payment of the
large existing debt on that monument to
the spirit of sacrifice of many-the new
Catholic church, which, although not
nearly completed inside still is already
an object of admiration by all and a
fitting house of worship which will en-
dure for many years, both as an orna-
ment to the town and as an object lesson
to the generations to come.
1t is expected that the new st. Mary's
will be ready for occupancy in the lower
part by the beginning of the new year.

MORE BALKAN TROUBLE.
Prospects of Joint COercive Move
by Russia and Austria.


London, Jan. Feb. 2.-The publica-
ton of French yellow book detailing
the efforts made by France and Russia
during the past year to induce Turkey
to institute reforms in Macedonia.
which resulted in the tour through the
Balkans of Count Lamsdorff, and in
the Austro-kusisan agreement regard
ing press reforms in Turkey, is held to
point to the fact that an acute phase of
the Balkan question has arisen.
The rumors that the Austrians are
preparing a squadron at their naval
port of Pola, the passage of the Russian
Torpedo boats through the Dardanelles
into the Black sea, and other incidents
are being recalled, whilst the official
denials of the mobilization rumors is
sued by the Austrian government are
received with some skepticsm. There
have been recently several reports OF
basty purchases of war material by
Roumania. the Balkan states and Tur-
key.
The yellow book confirms the state.
ment that France approves of Count
Lamsdorff's proposal to institute radi-
cal reforms in Macedonia, and gives a
gloomy account of the deplorabe condi-
tlons prevailing in Macedonian prov
iDces.
Reports are current in Odessa that
Austria and Russia have agreed upon a
joint naval coercion of Turkey in the
approaching spring to enforce reforAls
IN Macedonia.
According to Professor Rambury. who
is supposed to be we'll informed as to
the views entertained by the Yildiz
Kiosk, the Sultan, believing that the
intention is to wrest Macedonia from
the Turkish empire, would prefer the
risks of war to acquiescence in the Eu-
ropean demands.
The drift of European comment is
that although there is no immediate
danger, the situation is causing dipIo-
mate much anxiety.

PRETENDER ROUTED.
Defeated by Forces of Sultan and
Taken Prisoner.

Tangier, Feb. 2.-The sultan's troops
have utterly routed the forces OF the
Moorish pretender and captured Bu-Ha
mara himself. A special courier who
has just arrived after making a record
journey from Fee, brought the news.
He reports that at daybreak last Thurs
day the army of the sultan, command.
ed by War Minister FL Menebhi, at
tackled the pretender's position and in
ficted a complete defeat upon his fol-
lowers, at the same time capturing Blu
Hamara.
Another runner just arrived confirms
the news of the defeat of the rebels, but
Gays that the report of the capture of
the pretender Is incorrect. He adds
that it is uncertain whether Bn-Hama
ra's body was among the great number
of slain. The sultan's victory was alb
solute, almost the entire following of
the pretender being either slain or cap
tured. There is great rejoicing here at
the sultan's victory.

AN INVESTIGATION,
Special Agents Looking Into Frank.
lin County Communications.

lin County Comm utatiOms.
Pasco, Wash, Feb. 2.-An investiga-
ton of number Of Franklin county
homestead Communication proofs is in
progress by the department OF the inte-
rior, special agent Miller, an emissary
OF the federal bureau, having just left
the Ethiopia and Cornell districts after
looking up evidence on large num-
Der of claims on which Communication
proof has been made for periods rang
ing from six months to two years.
This move OF the department is start
ling. because the parties have held
final res eiver's receipts for their quar-.
ter sections ever since the communication
proof was made, and have, in many
cases, sold the land at good figure to
third parties. The unexpected move of
the federal authorities has been caused
by complaints from unknown parties
that all had not been legal in proving
up. If lllegality is proven, no end of
trouble is prophesied all round. The
men who paid $500 computation fee
will lose this money, in accordance
with the homestead law, together with
their filing fees and their homestead
right. Where third parties have limo
Gently bought land illegally proven up,
suit will be their only recourse, as the
claim will revert to the government.
Most serious of all, the law states that
the man who illegally proves up is liza
BILE to arrest and penitentiary imprison-
ment tor perjury.
The anticipated result of the dsclos-
ures that are likely concerning these
claims will be widespread. To GER
tain extent almost every committed
proof of the past few years will be
affected, as the actual settlers living on
their claims have rarely paid the COM
mutation fee, and majority of those
who adopted the fourteen month plan
went to their claims only at intervals,
and might have difficulty in showing
that they complied with the letter Of
the law, to say nothing about comply
ing with it's spirit. Franklin and Ad-
ans counties, since 1899. have been the
favorite stamping ground of the city
and town residents who wanted to use
their homestead rights and were unable
to 20 out and live on their farms. In
most cases these men committed to rid
themselves, as they thought, OF all dan.
ger of contest.
