AT THE CALEDONIA PARK
Strenuous Ball Game in Which Home
Run on Third Strike Was Fea-
ture--Foot Ball and Other
Sports of the Day.

The picnic season at Caledonia park
was opened Saturday afternoon when
the Burns Club met there for their
annual outing. 1t was an ideal day
for a picnic and the members of the
club and their families, numbering in
all about hundred, passed most en-
joyable time. There were the usual
races by the young people and the base
ball game by the club members, and
dancing in the pavilion, music being fur
nished by George Angus, violin; Frank
Walker, clarinet; Earle Bemis, cornet J;
and John Middlebrooh, trombone.
The feature of the afternoon was the
ball game, the two teams being cap
tanned by James Campbell and William
Maekie. "Jack" Chesser, not Chesbro,
did the twirling for Mackie's team and
his spit ball put the Complexities in the
shade, only two Of them being success
ful in crossing the home plate during
the game while Campbell, the famous
Intereity "rooter," who was in the box
for his team, was pounded numerically,
and was obliged to confess that his
strength as ball player showed up
more favorably on the rooters' bench

split their lungs scooting around the
bases for IA scores. Though Capt. Camp
bell showed weakness as a twirler, his
home run on the third strike is yet
to be outdone. The teams played ten
men, the Campbellites being Russell,
Emslie, Mcdonald, Gordon, Watt, Pat
terson, Kesson, Christie and Cruick-
shank. Mackie's team was composed
of Chesser, Anderson, Lamont, Scott,
Booth, Marr, Pirie, Bruce and Elrick.
Capt. Campbell retrieved his honors in
foot ball, his team winning out in an
exciting contest by the score of one to
nothing.
The winners Of the chiIdren's race
were Margaret Scott, first; Elsie Pirie,
second; Lillian Beattie, third. Girls
race, Daisy Pirie, first; Bessie Pirie, Sec
ond; Annie Rae, third.

OF Street Railroad On So.
Main Street Discussed.
A PROPOSITION MADE
That Tracks Be Laid to Ayers Street
Alongside the Barre R. R. Tracks,
the Latter Being Moved to
One Side.

A conference OF representatives from
the street railway company, the Barre
Railroad company and the city council
was held Saturday afternoon to talk
over the matter Of street railway extern
sion. Supt. F. w. Stanyan, w. A. Stow
ell and Attorney ]. P. Lamson repre-
sented the Barre railroad, III. X. Bush,
H. q. Rowland and Attorney Richard
A. Hoar represented the street railway
company. The parties met at the city
council chamber and later visited South
Main and Aver streets.
1t was proposed that the street rail-
way could lay its track alongside the
Barre railroad tracks from this side of
the railroad tracks near the fork shop to
Aver street, thus getting to Aver street
without crossing the railroad and doing
away with the present crossing on South
Main street. This plan seemed to meet
the approval of the Barre railroad rep
resentatives and it is understood they
will move their tracks a little to one
side near the South Main street crossing
to give room for the street railway
tracks.
The committee from the city council
will report favoring the location of the
street railway tracks along this route.

MODERN SLAVES
TO DRINK HABIT
Rev. Mr.. Timing of England Preached
Temperance Before Large Audi
enee at Congregational
Church.

The union temperance service last
evening at the Congregational church
was largely attended and was an inter-
esting and profitable occasion. The pas
tors of the churches were on the plat.
form and participated in the preliminary
exercises. Rev. M. Timing of England
gave forceful address or sermon, bas-
ing his words on Titus 2:9-14. He
spoke of the slavery OF ancient times,
and found its parallel in slavery to
strong drink in these days. The scholar,
the man Of culture, in the olden time
became slave for debts, and today the
member of Congress, the man in high
station as in low walks, is bound BY
the power of the drink habit and be-
comes a slave.
The moderate drinker unconseiously
becomes bound in habit. The speaker
compared indulgence to thread. One
might be enwrapped by thread until
he could not break the fetter. He should
be a slave to habit which he may
have thought he could quit at any time.
The great remedy for the evil OF intem-
perance il the grace of God, manifest
in Christ Hundreds and thousands
have been saved by this grace as they
have been brought to trust in it, and it
is sufficient for the whole world.
The speaker paid high tribute to
the work of the w. G. 7. U. in the many
countries of the world and deplored that
the local union had not larger mem
bership. He closed with a plea for an
increased number of enlisted workers in
the Temperance union. A generous Of
fering was made in behalf Of the work.

Harry Mccormick, the Alleged
Forger,
LEFT MIDDLEBURY JAIL.
Didn't Notify the Jail Authorities and
They Have Been Keeping 1t Quiet
Prisoner Got Aid from
Outside

Middlebury, June 5.--Harry McCor-
mick, the young man who was arrested
at Lancaster, n. H., while on his honey
moon trip and brought to the Addison
county jail to await trial on the charge
of forgery, has escaped. He disappeared
last Wednesday morning, and the author
tiles have ben keeping the matter hush
ed up. 1t finally leaked out. They still
maintain an air of mystery when the
escape is mentioned, and when McCor-
mick is caught, provided he is caught,
some important developments are ex-
pected.
Not only did Mccormick disappear,
but the blankets in his cell were not
found. Besides, all the mans belong
ings were taken from the jail the same
day. He was in his cell at 11:50 o'clock
Tuesday and at 4;30 the following
morning. The next inspection Of the
cell at daybreak showed an empty cage.
Mccormick was assisted to liberty by
someone from the outside, entrance be-
ing effected by a person who evidently
knew the interior of the building and
the ropes well. Entrance was made via
the door on the north side of the build
ing, and the evidences are visible. There
are no clues to the present whereabouts
Of the alleged forger.
Mccormick was placed in the Jail sew
eral months ago on the charge of of
fering forged checks, to which was at
tached the name of Nelson Murray Of
Lincoln. The arrest was made at Lam
caster when he and his bride, Miss An
ma Mcmahon of Middlebury, were on
their wedding trip. His wife is now
employed at the Goddard house in Lud-
low.

WANTED MORE PAY.
Newsboys, Selling Sunday Papers, De-
manded 1t Yesterday.

When the Boston papers arrived at
the Barre News Agency yesterday morn
ing the newsboys informed the proprie-
tor that they wanted raise from half
a cent to cent for selling the papers.
This Mr. Martin, at first, refused to
do. He was promptly informed by the
older of the boys that no papers would
be peddled until he did. Some of the
smaller boys went up to the counter
and got their papers. Then the excite
ment began. The papers were quickly
snatched away from them by the lead
ers and thrown about the sidewalk. The
little boys were given threats not to
buy any more. Mr.. Martin finally
agreed to give the boys their raise.
AT the Ideal Book store the boys
did not strike but on returning with
their remaining papers said they should
be looking for the cent next Sunday.
This action may result in the Sun
day papers hereafter being sold on the
street for six cents instead of five.
