The Coming Pearson Recital.

1t is always welcome news to the
people of Middlebury and vicinity that
the date has been fixed for another lee
ture recital by Professor Pearson The
programmes rendered by him during
the last three years have made his com
ing an event to be looked forward to
with the most pleasurabe anticipation
His art is so finished and yet so natural,
so quiet and yet SO effective, that he
stands in the forefront of the readers
now before the public. This year his
theme will be Joel Chandler Harris and
the judgment of the many who have
listened to this presentation of southern
humor and philosophy is that it ranks
with the Riley and the Dunbar presenta-
tions that are still a pleasant memory
among us. 1t will be recalled that the
Monday evening of Commencement week
has come to be regarded as Mr.. Pearson's
evening. This year, however, he is un-
able to be here at that time and the date
of the recital is in consequence Friday
June %, at eight O'clock in the evening.
1t is unnecessary to add anything to
this statement. These annual recitals
have long since reached the point where
they do not have to be advertised they
have simply to to be announced; and
there is no doubt that the Congregational
church will again be filled with an au-
dience as enthusiastic as those of former
years

Mrs. Rogers Must Hang.

Judge Rufus W. Peckham of the
United States Supreme court declined on
Saturday last to grant writ of error
which would allow the case of Mrs.
Mary NJ. Rogers now under sentence for
the murder of her husband to go to the
United States court.
Thomas Maloney, Mrs Rogers counsel,
who was attending court here was in
formed of the decision by a Register
representative. He expressed no sur
prise over the decision and said:
81 cannot state at this moment what
further step can be taken. Since the
adjournment of the legislature and sub
sequent to the trial of the case, new
evidence has been found of such impor-
lance that the Supreme court Of the
state was divided on the question of
granting a new trial, two of the Judges
dissenting from the finding against the
accused. That being so, it seems to me
that stay should be given until another
Legislature meets, that body alone having
the power of Communication under Ner-
mont laws, in order that the new evil
dence may be placed before it,.
Gov. Charles j. Bell, who also was in
Middlebury, when informed Of the de-
cision of Judge Peckham, made the fol-
lowing statements "My stand in the
Rogers case is precisely the same today
as when l first reprieved Mrs. Rogers.
Under the law / was obliged to grant the
second reprieve. Now that the writ of
error has been denied, the law must take
its course"
