DEAD ATkNINETY- TWO
Leontinned from First Page.l


Bradford, the third son Of William and
father Of VIM a. and Mrs. Newcomb
keteum, both residents of Barre city,
took charge Of drawing the granite from
the quaTries to Montpelier, and late in
the fall of 1888 rented rooms IN the
house then called the Willard Hotel, lo-
Gated on the premises where the Horace
Fifeld buildings are now located, and
moved his wife and furniture sufficient
to convene himself and wife and two
hired men Oh boys to drive teams. He
also took down twelve horses and three
double traverse sleds and the snow be-
gan to fall about as soon as he was
ready for it, His hired men were West
ern Averill, the father Of John WI Aver
ill. and the writer, a. NJ. j., whose 2Ist
birthday was to. be the I'd day of the
next March, thought that he would earn
little money to purchase his freedom
suit, i'll lieu Of going to school, was the
other man or boy. Our days work
began early in the morning. Our horses
were fed and harnessed ready TO hitch
to the sleds before breakfast. We had
our breakfast regularly at 8 o'clock,
then we started for the quafries where
We itHftu NMf ritNAN tthA iOAAAi3NA AADAhAsF
to dinner and feed our horses. After
dinner we started for Montpelier with
our loads of granite, unloaded it and re.
turned TO Barre when we had our sup
per and our horses cared for it would
be about 9 o'clock. The only way TO
get to those quarries in those days was
to go to the upper village and up the
Sterling Hill which is very steep and
on the east side near very deep gully
and it was necessary in order to get
down the bill safely with our heavy
loads OF granite to chain or clog each
runner and have an extra pole to each
Of our sleds that the four horses could
help in holding back our heavy loads
and we were very thankful when we
were safely at the foot of the hill.
Il have stated the Bradfords were not
granite men and / viii tell you how they
lost money in the contract to draw the
granite for the State House. Before
they made bid for the contract they
had cubic foot Of granite cut and
weighed and on the weight of that cubic
foot the bid was made for the CON
tract, expecting to be paid the price bid
for every cubic foot Of granite they
uTeW 10 NlOlltptllef. Inc granite vi ttc
quarry was in blocks of different sizes,
some larger and some smaller, and were
in piles scattered over the quarry. Each
block had its NUM- ar of cubic feet mark
ed on it, the contract for cutting the
granite was by the cubic foot measured
after cut and ready to be laid in the
walls, the result was that the Brad
fords drew hundreds Of cubic feet that
they received no pay for and there is
where they sustained their loss.

Lawyers, at least some of them, need
to take to their cyclone cellars, after
the verdict in Chittenden county court
giving a client heavy damages for poor
advice sagely counseled by an attorney.
But the question arises as to what would
be considered poor advice. Doubtless
a large clientele considers advice poor
after they are are beaten in law suits.

THE GIRL WHO WORKS.

God bless the girl who works, " says the Philadelphia Dispatch. "She Is brave and true and noble- She Is not too proud to earn her own living or ashamed to be caught at her daily task. She smiles from behind the counter. the desk or printers case. There is memory of her sewing on each silent gown. She is like brave mountaineer already far up the precipice, climbing, struggling, rejoicing. The sight of her should be an inspiration to us all. It IS an honor to know this girl and be worthy of her esteem. Lift your hat to her, young man, as she passes by. Her hands may be stained by oishwashing, factory grease or printers ink, but 1t IS an honest hand and helping hand It stays misfortune from homes, it supports an invalid loved one, maybe; it is the loving, potent shield that protects many family from the aims house. The writer knows several such noble working girls. All honor to that brave toiler. God bless and protect the girl who works"

THE BIG RALLY AT ANTIOCH
Farmers Met at Antioch Saturday and Spent Most Pleasant
 and Enjoyable Day.
To The Newark Journal:

1dSC was the appOlnCeu uaY TOT tue Farmers Union rally at Antioch. The sun came over the Oriental horizon and blessed us with a beautiful day for the meeting. A good sized crowd attended and all came with smiles to bear some humble part in promoting the in- terest of the laboring class of peo- pie. Love is manifested when the farmers meet on occasions like these.
 After the arrival of the majority of the members, arrangements were made for march, each mem Der wearing a badge with the num- Der of his lodge. Falling in line the procession was commenced un- der command of D. " Hicks. We marched about half a mile. After the march, and seated comfortably in the shade of the beautiful grove, the audience was pleased to hear a welcome address by Bro. Dave Hicks. T. 5. Ottinger, secretary of Barren Union 534, was next in- troduced to the audience. and stat ed the purposes of the meeting.
 Hon. J. ]. Barnwell of Bates vile was next introduced. He made an excellent speech in be- half of the Union. He spoke along the line of education and economy After the conclusion of his speech the crowd was dismissed for din- her, and the dinner that was spread by the loving wives of the farmers would have made q feast fit for the members of Congress.
 We know of no serious results that come from eating too much. But, myl MT. Editor, you ought to have seen Bro D. w. Hicks eating chicken pie and devourlng innocent custards. All enjoyed the dinner, and at two o'clock our county president, John Stuart from Oak Ridge Union, was in- troduced to the crowd. He spoke on scientific farming, and his speech was right to the point. If all farmers would put into prac- tice the ideas he advocated, 1t would not be five years until the old worn out fields would be worth five times their present value.
 Lige James also made an excel lent speech.
 Billie Baker was next introduc- ed to the audience, and detained the crowd for some twenty min ctes.
 This ended our program. There were other speakers that expected to be present, but failed to come. Nevertheless, we had a joyful time. These rallies are of inestim- able value. Now Brethren let stand firm to the principles of the Union. Talk business, and at the same time put into practice what we preach. Providence has bless ed the South and stored away treasures for us in her cotton fields if we will but reap 1t in wis dom, justice and moderation.
 Therefore let us stand as one man. It is absolutely our only hope. Therefore l appeal to eve " county official of the Union to bend every energy, to more thor oughly organize hls county. Ev- cry man in the state should be a member in good standing, wearing our badge. We strive for all. All should help us. It is a common cause and the common good we serve. Let's have regard for each one's patriotism, love of family and home. W. B.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-09-24

will be presented at the Columbia Theater
tomorrow night by@Fred G. Berger. The
leading role of the production will be as
sumed by Maude Fealy. Miss Fealy will be
seen as Ernestine Mortimer. the sixteen
year-old daughter of Scotch lord, who,
dying, directs that his five children shall
seek protection with their aunt, Miss Morti-
mer of London. Ernestine, her two young
brothers, her two little sisters, and an old
Scotch servant, Tamas. go to London, and
the advent of this cavalcade brings turmoil
into Miss Moltimer's prim home. The chill
dren have been educated by their father
to always speak the truth, no matter what
happens. When they bring truth INFO the
circle of smart society friends of Miss Nor
timer the result is startling. There is in
cidentally story dealing with an adven-
turous Irishman, Kildare who loves Ernes-
tine, and who is saved from capture by the
children. The company includes, besides
Miss Fealy, Orme Caldara, Robert Rogers,
Alfred Hudson, John Denton, Louise Mack
intosh, Esther Lyon and many others, not
to mention four clever children. The play
also utilizes the services of two horses, five
Shetland ponies, a st. Bernard dog, two
sheep, a COW, a monkey and a parrot. Mr.
Berger has given the play a most elaborate
mounting, the four acts being sumptuously
staged. A version of the play was pro-
duced some years ago at the Lafayette un-
der the title of ''The Little Pilgrims.

THE BOSTON SYMPHONY
RETURN OF THE ORGANIZATION
TO THIS CITY.

After lapse of seven years Washing
ton is again this winter to have a series
of concerts by the Boston Symphony Or
chestra. Five in all will be given, on the
Tuesday afternoons of November Z. Deem
Der 5. January 8, February 10 and March
Is at 4:30 O'Clock.
1t has always been a matter of great
regret that the management of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra found it necessary to
abandon the concerts in this city and no
year has passed that efforts have not been
made to renew the old arrangement. The
concerts were given I'D because of the es-
tablishment in New York of a second series
of five on Saturday afternoons, the demand
for more concerts in that city having be-
come absolutely imperative. AS the or
chestra has but one week each month in
which 1t may leave Boston, some city had
TO be deprived of the concerts and unfor-
turately it was Washington that suffered.
Last spring renewed efforts were made to
bring back the concerts which formed so
important part in the artistic and social
life of the capitol, and through Mrs Katie
Wilson Green such inducements were of
fered the management that it was de-
cided to abondon the second series of con-
certs in Philadelphia and place them in
Washington. This is a matter of con-
graduation for all concerned.
1t is almost a work of supererogation to
