is perhaps justified in disseminating the
course, but the action is to be regretted
regretted because of the fact that the
people take little or no interest in co.
operating. Barre certainly is capable
of maintaing series of entertainments
OF a high nature, as the success OF the
years prior to the time when the present
apathy took possession Of our people in
dicates. Then the lectures and concerts
provided by the association were well
attended and were appreciated. For sew
eral years the interest has seemed to
be waning, and the gradual dropping
off in attendance was the symptom.
Empty seats, depressing alike to enter
tainers and audience, became the estah-
lished order. 1t is difficult to understand
the situation. Have the people Of Barre
become stated with intellectual food?
Are they becoming narrow? On is there
suspicion concerning the object of the
dSsutfbtiuH Win TIC Auct tHdb the DtiiN
Entertainment association is endeayoring
to make a dollar on the sides The re-
suits ought to disabuse their minds Of
the latter, If there was suspicion; but
The Times believes that the utmost
confidence is placed VI the men who
have charge of the association and that
the people know they are working with
honorable motives. That the people have
become gorged with mental pabulum can
as easily be dismissed as without fonn-
dation, leaving the other solution, that
they are allowing narrow view to be
taken-satisfed complaisance seated
where there should be an aggressive
eagerness for what is refining and broad
ening. Lectures and concerts do not
Of themselves make refinement or broad
minds, but they help materially where
the mind is receptive. And in refusing
to place ourselves in the way of those
influences We are losing just SO much.
Ii the association has concluded to give
up the idea of course this winter, let
the spirit Of the organization be kept
alive for next season, when mayhap the
mental attitude Of the people Of Barre
viii have changed.

MUD-sLINGING BOSTONIANS.

The student Of Boston politics has
the opportunity to study the mud brand
Just at present. The candidates for the
position of mayor of the city is bring
ing the slime to the surface in man
ner to disgust ordinary people. Both
Democrats and Republicans are indulg-
ing in the plastic art, that i, they
are endeavoring to decorate their oppo-
nents so judiciously that they will be
completely buried beneath the avalanche
of vituperation and calumny. The Bos-
ton Post in the midst Of the fight says
of it: "But this struggle has developed
an unprecedented amount of rancor and
bitter personalities. Charges and coun-
ter charges fill the air. Streams Of in
vectiyes, denunciations, allegations Of
political chicanery and personal perfidy
are poured forth daily upon defenseless
public. If small percentage of the
charges on each side is to be credited,
neither candidate has the remotest quail
fications for the distinguished office
which is at stake. Moreover, the Re-
publican canvass, while thus far q few
degrees milder, is also such as to make
the judieious grieve. The lie, direct and
indirect, is nightly passed with great
freedom, and charges Of misrepresenta-
ton darken the political atmosphere
The credulous stranger within our gates
might well be pardoned if he should come
to the conclusion that most OF the Bos-
tonians actively engaged in the present
mayoralty canvass would be more prop
eriy located ii confined within the walls
of Charles street jail"

A REGULAR THING.
When Payday Came. John English Of
st. Adams Got Drunk.

st. Adams, Nov. 16--John English,
a Central Vermont section hand, was
yesterday sentenced by Justice Kearney
to the House Of Correction at Rutland

1t appeared at the trial that English
gets drunk just as regular as pay day
comes around, and following the arrival
here Of the pay car last Friday, English
went to Rouses Point, on an old-fashion-
ed bender. He arrived back Tuesday,
fun Of fight, and going home, threatened
to Kill his wife, who fled to the neigh
bors for protection. English then anus
ed himself by throwing the furniture and
food all out doors. English pleaded not
guilty TO complaints charging him with
second offense of drunk and breach
of the peace, but was convicted of both,
being fined SIS and costs in the former
and SO and costs in the latter case, a

II saws: ut looks as if the large cities

the way Of outside street railway ex-
uIoitation, under a charter granted IN
1902. The Vermont internal improve
nent company has just been started az
Rutland. under this authorization, with
capital Of 100000, with the object
of buying, leasing and selling electric
RAILWAYS in that state. The charter I'M
der which the company can operate IS
practically unlimited as to scope, and
permits the increase Of capital into the
millions, if necessary. Under it, cleo
trio raiIroading, as well as power and

company is G. Tracy Rogers, president
Of the Binghampton street railway, a
large owner in the Buffalo street rail-
way lines, as well as one of the heav-
lest owneds of the Rutland street rail-
way. It has ben rumored that the
new corporation will be allied with the
