The Turkey Raiser Must Keep His

Better Packaoe for AppIes

There is demand for a smaller pack
age for apples. The west is far in ad-
vance of the east in the matter Of fruit
packages. We handle the bulk of our
apple crop in standard fifty pound
boxes and our plums. peaches and can
taloups all go in the crates adapted
for handling them, which are attrac-
tive to the buyer. The bushel apple
box has greatly increased the demand
for apples and many boxes are sold to
individual families which would not
buy a barrel at time. The half
bushel box will strike lot more good
customers in families who now buy
only by the quarters worth. The great
advantage of fruit in small packages
is that 1t sells direct 10 the retail
trade without breaking of the package
or remeasuring the contents. a great

are now sold in neat pasteboard pack

TO REPAIR ATHENWOOD.

Charles Paine of New York has sent
to the trustees of the Wood AIT Gal
lery check for 5000 to be used III
completing the repairs on Athenwood
begun last summer by Thomas w.
Wood. Mr.. Paine is the man to whom
Mr.. Wood willed the contents of his
New York studio. The amount will
just about complete the work for
which it is intended and the trustees
are highly pleased with the gift.
There have recently been added to
the art G llery six unframed portraits
and one landscape from Mr.. Wood s
New York studio. One of the por-
triats is of the artist himself and an
other is of the late Senator Justin S.
Morrill,. The portraits are all splendid
specimens of Mr.. Woods art and they
are Il valuable addition to the collec-
tlon. Several pictures from Athen-
wood have also been taken to the gall
lery. One of these is a picture of M.
A. Kent plying his calling as an auc-
tioneer.

Company H have been taken to the
armory, while those for the other
companies were Immediately shipped to
their respective headquarters The
company Fl boys were given their
new guns on Tuesday when an extra
drill was held. Target practice
will begin at once. The boys have
been doing no target work thus far
this spring for two reasons: Until
very recently they were unable to get
a range where they could have dis
tance of 1000 yards as is required,
They have at last secured one and have
been fitting it up but did not care to
begin shooting with the old rifles only
to change to the new ones which hang
very differently.

CHILDREN'S RECIT1L.

Tuesday evening occurred the first of
inary-the children's recital. Enter
tainments by the children almost in
variably bespeak a large attendance
and this was no exception. The
young performers were greeted by a
large and appreciative audience The
stage was prettily decorated with
ferns and the program consisted of
piano music-solos, duets, trios-and
recitatiops by Miss Palmer's pupils in
elocution. The first term pupils played
very we'll. If the small fingers tripped
occasionally no one minded and each
received his need of applause-well
earned. Those who heard last year s
Recital were made aware of the prog
ress of the second year lupils >by the
excellence of their performance. The
class is larger but its needs have been
met with the capable assistance Of
Misses Hersey and Joslyn, to supple
ment the work of Prof. Hathaway.
The recltatlons by Edward and Eu-
nice Sherburne ana Clara Smith
afforded pleasing variation in the
program These young students of
elocution were heard, as heretofore,
with delight. Those who participant
ed in the musical part of the program
were as follows First term pupils
George Lainge, Margery Jones, Merton
Holmes, William Heggie. Second
year-Hilda Jacobson, Raymond Gull
len, Ruth Dutton, Clara Smith, Car
rie Scott, Bertha Buzzell, Margery
Burbank, Marjorie Frazer, Lou Dut-
ton, Harold Keegan, Robert Jones,
Ellen Hoar, Rita Beardsley, Winnie
Wheelock, Lillian Lainge, Ethel Nc

STATE HO USE T1NDALS.

The two large cannon captured dur
ing the Spanish American war, and
which adorn the State House yard,
have just been given two coats of
paint and their appearance is once
more fitting war relic of the United
States. Since they were put there a
few years ago various persons have
shown their utter lack of sense of
decency by carving initials i'll the
thick enamel which covers tie guns,
thereby giving the steel monsters an
appearance more befitting wooden
toys. The State House law says that
anyone marking, cutting, injuring or
destroying property in or about the
State House shall be liable to a fine
of no less than 50 and costs if the
damage done is not more than $25,
and to a fine of not more than 81 900,
if the damage be more than that. The
sergeant-at-arm is determined that
the vandalism about the State House
shall be checked and is ready to pros
ecute anyone who commits depreda-
tions.

WRECK At NORTHFTELD.

A north bound freight train on the
Central Vermont broke in two about
l O'Clock Wednesday while about a
mile south of Northfield and soon after
came together again with a crash
when the Mortified yard had been
nearly reached. AS a result of the
impact one car was completely smashed
and several others were somewhat dam
aged. but fortunately no one was
hurt. A wNcking train was at once
sent for but it was East O'Clock be-
fore the trains were able to pass the
wreck. and not until some time later
that the wreck was entirely cleared
away. The morning mails to this
city were much delayed as conse-
quence, the early mail not arriving
until nearly 8 O'Clock.

ORDERS UNCH1NGED.

Washington, June 3.-The navy
department has received the report of
Capt. j. " B. Bleecker, acting COM
mandant of the Bremerton navy yard
at Seattle, Wash, relative to the i'm
moral conditions in the vicinity of
the yard, and the department has de-
clined to alter its decision to allow
more ships to go to that yard for
work. 1t. is understood that Captain
Bleecker's report was not very assur
ing, and Acting Secretary Darling re-
fused to change his recent orders, ev-
identity fearing the consequences of
the large number of gambling houses
and saloons in the vicinity of the
navy yard.
Today, according to the official re-
port, there are sixteen saloons in the
town of Bremerton, of which seven
are located on Front street, within
the shadow of the navy yard The
acting secretary has sent dispatch
to the Bremerton authorities, stating
that the navy department has no de-
sire to interfere with the government
Of the town, and that having advised
them of the departments wishes he
could only await results

department is not instituting tenn

MAY gun WORK AGAIN.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 3. Another
dark strike cloud has loomed up on
the horizon of the anthracite coal re-
gion. The executive boards of the
United Mine Workers in session here
yesterday endorsed the selection of
their three district presidents on the
board of conciliation, authorized by
the strike commission and if these
members are noe recognized by the
operators, which action may come,
the executive boards contemplate call
ing convention of mine workers to
declare general suspension OF work
until their members are given recog
milton. The district presidents, as a
result of the meeting, have issued a
statement which says in part that the
members selected to represent the
mine workers of each district on the
Cancellation board, reported that the
representatives of the operators refused
to recognize them or accept them as
members of the Cancellation board.
They reported that the operators OBJ
jeoted on the ground that the mine
workers representatives were appoint
ed by their organizations as existing
in each district. It is strongly in
timated that the executive board OF
mine workers will insist that these
members be recognized.

FINDLEY AG1IN.

Alexander Findley, the Peacham
man who gained more fame than for
tune by taking a carload of kindllng
wood to Boston last year, has been
heard from again in Barre. His griev-
ance this time is that he gave a watch
to a Barre woman about three years
ago for safe keeping and that she will
not give it up. He interviewed the
police and demanded that some stIen-
nous action be taken. Up to this
time the scheme bids fair to be about
as successful as the Boston deal was.

North Main street with Robinson
driving, they crossed the M. g. W..
tracks, Macchi, Mutch and Calder 8

granite chips and down q ten foot
embankment into the river which is
about six feet deet at that'point. The
men and team were pulled out by
workmen at the sheds. In city court
Tuesday both pleaded guilty to the
charge of intoxication and were fined
