Words of praise from Iowa.

The Waterloo, Iowa, Reporter has
some pleasant words concerning a
former St. Johnsbury lady, which her
many friends will be pleased to read.
On Tuesday of last week was held the
grandest and most sublime church
service ever held in Waterloo when at
the choir festival at Christ church, the
angelic .choirs" of the Episcopal
churches of the Waverly deanery COM
bined to render music for the occasion.
The organizations comprised 125
voices, and graduated from little boys
and girls TO men and women, in black
and white SUPPLIES, the girls in all the
glory of cap and gown. Mrs. A c.
Randall is organist OF this church and
presided at the organ on this occasion.
OF her work the Reporter says: Mrs.
Randall. the regular organist of Christ
church presided throughout, and under
her skillful manipulation, the grand pipe
organ, one of the largest in the state.
did its full share in the magnificent
musical productions of the service.

SeIf.Denial Week.

The wellknown self-denial week of
the Salvation Army will be observed by
that body from May to z. The Army's
bene6cient operations are maintained
purely by the free-will offerings of the
people. The needs of its vast missionary
labor among the heather abroad and the
down-fallen at home are chiefly met
through the agency of self-denial. The
Army is doing splendid work in its indus
trial homes, rescue and maternity homes,
mems and women's shelters, esta blished
in different centres in this country, while
the world over, the Army has about 500
similar refugees tor the fallen and desti-
tute.
The enthusiasm with which the Saliva
tionists themselves enter into the self
denial week is remarkable and it would
probably be hard to find a wearer OF the
uniform who has not in addition to Pc
cuniary sacrifice, denied himself some
luxury Or partial necessity of food or
clothing by way of discipline. The self
denial fund is considerably augmented
by assistance from outside friends far
and near, and this worthy effort should
not be forgotten by those who are in a
position to assist.

To the People of Caledonia County

Ever since Hon. P W. Clements Open
ing speech on good roads there has been
quite good deal of comment on the
roads and the state papers have devoted
considerable space to the discussion of
the subject. SO that today there is quite
a sentiment in favor of better roads.
But Mr.. Clement should not claim the
distinction of having made this senri-
ment. This feeling began to be apparent
10 or Is years ago with the advent OF
the bicycle. When a man pushed wheel
through the sand or up steep grade he
first realized how much harder it must
be for horse to draw its load over such
roads, and the coming of the automo-
bile has but accentuated that feeling.
This thought crystalized into action
the other day when "a representative
men met in Burlington and formed tenn
porary organization OF the Vermont
Good ROADS Association, with r. S.
Currier OF Barre, chairman, and a vice
president from each county in the state
A constitution and bylaws were adopted
and temporary officers elected. Gale
donia's vice-president is Nd. J.. Russell OF
St. Johnsbury. to whom application for
| membership should be made. An annual
meeting has been called for MAY 5 at
| Montpelier to make the organization
permanent and it is desired to have a
large number present.
The association declared that Vermont
| needed better roads and that the cost
should be borne in part by the United
States government, in part by the state,
and in part by the town. 1t Endorsed the
bill now before Congress known as the
Brownlow bill and recommended that
personal letters be written TO our dele
cation in Congress asking them to sup
port the measure. 1t also declared that
| our legislature of 1904 ought TO enact
laws that will better accomplish state
supervision of highways in order to ex-
pend the money provided in the best pos
sihle way.
The movement is good one, it is
timely. and ought to receive the support
of all our citizens. Send in your name to
Mr.. Russell, and plan to attend the state
meeting at Montpelier, May 5.

Justice Court News.

George Dow was arrested Friday for
intoxication and fined the usual $11.1O,
in default of which he is now spending
10 days in jail.
Three from Hard wick, Dan Hayes,
John Fayey and John Holland are spend
ing 10 days vacation in jail. They
pleaded guilty to intoxication in Hard
wick but could not pay the fine.
Quite sensation was started in this
locality last week by the arrest of Law
yer W. R. Aldrich of Barton for alleged
gambling. AS near as the facts of the
case can be learned they are as follows;
A. B. Carrick is reported to have run a
five easy in the Republican block ON
the Avenue, that is, he had rented a
small tenement and in one room the
game Of poker was played. He never
PLAYED himself. but allowed certain
friends to come in and play provided he
secured a certain rake off, usually 10 per
cent. 1t is said that drinking was also
permitted in this place and when any
ones supply gave out there was more
forthcoming from other parts of the
tenement. Mr.. Carrick attended his
rake off himself usually, but at times had
a young lad to help him, Leon Smith by
name. A large number of local sports
used to gather at this rendezvous and play
cards and put up as much money as they
pleased, and it is said that large sums of
money have changed hands there in an
evening. No chips-were used in the
game, but the money was placed out on
the playing table. One way the boys
had of knowing that there was some
thing doing was to go up the front or
rear stairs of the block and if there was
a small lamp sitting on the window sill
at the head of the back stairs. it was the
sign that they could come in if they had
the proper pass word. Four pushes on
button which was hidden in a nearby
closet, rang bell in the tenement and
this secured admission. Carrick and
Smith were arrested Wednesday and the
hearing was Immediately held. Both
waived examination and were bound up
to county court. Bail was fixed at 5000
in each case and was furnished. The
officers were directed to this place by a
person who was sued by Lawyer
Aldrich and the person sued claimed that
the bill was due for money he lost play
ing the game. 1t is expected that the
case will create quite sensation when
it is heard at the June term for quite a
number of local sports are connected
with it in some way and more arrests
| may follow Several who have had
connection with it are reported to have
| left town for parts unknown.
In police court Monday morning John
| Rousler pleaded guilty to intoxication
| and paid the usual $11.1O. Ashley Bean
| and Ralph Laird paid SOTO each for
| disturbing the peace.
