Petitions to Reinstate Licenses.

Petitions TO the board Of license COM
missioners have been circulated this
week in favor OF l.. J. Strong. proprie-
tor of the Melrose house, and T. Frank
Turner, proprietor Of the American
House, asking that the matter OF the
revocation OF their licenses be reopened
and that their licenses be reinstated. In
Mr.. Strong's case the petition states
that II is the belief Of the signers h Mr..
Strong did not knowingly violat any Of
the provisions OF the law, that whatever
liquor was sold to minors was sold I'M
der the honest belief that they were Of
full age. that he has run a clean and
respectable house. mas honestly en-
.deavored to conduct 1t according to law.
ana that II his license Is reinstated he
VIII conduct it so that there will be no
complaint in the future. Mr.. Turner's
petition is substantially the same. ex-
cept that 1t is worded differently. and
states In addition that he was led to be-
IIeve by an attorney n by the license
commissioner that In cases OF doubt
the asking Of oun men in regard TO
their ages would be sufficient precau-
ton. Mr.. Putnam, chairman OF the
board OF commissioners. is expected
home today. The petitions probably will
be submitted within a short time.

The Suzanne Adams Concert.

y full house greeted Suzanne Adams
ana her concert company in the Audi
forum Wednesday evening, when the
first entertainment I'm the Y. NJ. c. A.
Star course was given. The makeup OF
the company was as advertised, with one
exception. Walter \. Pyck, pianist, was
not present and his place was taken by
Andre Benoist. Mr.. Benoist played one
solo and the accomplishments to the
other numbers, but he was excused from
playing the Raphsodie Hongroise, by
List Mr.. Stern announcing that he was
extremely tired. As a matter of fact he
was broken up over serious Illness in
his family. Mr.. Benoist played exceeding
ly well, and it was a disappointment not
to hear the Liszt Raphsodie. which is a
faNorite solo piece, both with artists and
audiences. Madame Adams and Mr..
Stern gave an extra number on this ac-
count 1t may be well to state here a
tact which was known to but very few
IN the audience, that Suzanne Adams is
the wife OF Leo Stern. Probably the OPP
portunity Will not come again soon when
two artists of such ability may be heard
in Brattleboro at the same time. As a
vocalist Madame Adams is a marvel. Her
entry into the field of grand opera was of
comparatively recent date, but she is al
ready in the front rank. OF her work
Wednesday evening it is sufficient to voice
the great satisfaction of everyone pres
ent. Mr.. Stern. who is one of the lead
ing '~cellists in the country, played with
exquisite melody and delicacy, and the
facility with which he executed the diff
cult passages excited the admiration of
his hearers. George Champion, the bass,
sang in a melodious, cantabile style. was
expressive to a great degree, and gave
the audience genuine pleasure. but his
selections did not give him an opportunity
to display his lower register, for which
many were waiting eXpectantly.

An Alligator's Queer Nest.

Alligators, as a rule, have regu-
lar place OF retreat, in the bank of a
stream or pond. This is ezcavated
with their forepaws, and, according to
Florida alligator hunters the dirt is
carried away in the mouth OF the en-
gineer who backs into deep water and
discharges its load, then returns to
renew the operation until it has made
itself a aspac.ous home under water.
This viii readily account for the
size of its mouth, for it must not only
procure food, bpt must also act as a
mud scow. The female adopts the
same method for building her nest,
and not only fills her mouth, but also
takes load b-tweeu her forelegs
when she j. DO huny. She Can by
this means accomplish much work in
a day, for she r-yrr seems to tire.
II isquite amusing to watch young
mother build her first nursery, she BE-
ing not only fussy and vigilant, but
so suspicious that a few futtering
leaves startle her ont of her wits.
