A New Pastor Appointed.

Having been asked for by the church
at st. Johnsbury Rev. Mr.. Smithers was
appointed there in the spring Of 1898
and Walter r. Davenport was designat-
ed as his successor. The fact that Mr..
Davenport was pastor at Waterbury
during the erection Of church edifice
there may have had something to do
with his appointment here, as it seem
ed morally certain that the near future
would witness the construction Of an
elegant edifce for the Methodists Of
Barre.

Foundations Laid.
The Building is Erected.

The building committee asked for
bids and received many of them. 1t is
significant that the highest was exactly
twice as high as the lowest, the fgnres
ranging ali the way from $4,000 to
$4,000, exclusive Of heating, lighting,
plumbing and furniture. Being dissat-
isfied with all Of the bids it was finally
decided to erect the building by day
work To this end Mr.. Gale, one Of
the committee, was chosen superinten-
dent of construction, and Mfr. Alfred
Lane, the veteran builder, foreman of
the working gang. Had the structure
been a residence for himself Mr.. Lane
could have done no more faithful work,
while Mr. Gale was in season and out
Of season at ms post Of duty, and threw
heart and soul into his task. Mr. Boyce,
the chairman of the committee, also
freely gave a large amount Of time and
of still more valuable counsel to the
work. The other members Of the com
mittee were not without interest," in
the project, and sought to be Of as
much service as possible.

Building Committee Elected.

The first work was the completion Of
the necessary SILL 900 which was requir-.
ed before the work could begin. But
this work was SO nearly completed by
his predecessor that it was not large
task TO corral enough to bring the total
up to the required figures. A building
committee consisting Of Geoge p.
Boyce, Lyman A. Gale, Walter /. Bar
ney, Fred D. Beckley and Virgil E.
Ayers had been elected, and Mr.. Dav-
exports name was now added to the
list.

THE PUBLIC

Las Vegas has a well filled public
library. housed in an attractive build.
and 1t Is patronized every day and
every evening b many Las vegans and
many visitors. There Is no institution
OF the CITY that Is yielding a 1.-THE Of
the returns on the Investment that the
public library does. The library is q
school out OF school for the adults, a
source Of profit and pleasure to the
school student, q comfort to the
stranger within our gates. a delight
to both old and young In the city, and
II costs, or is supposed to cost. the
city a thousand dollars a year for
support.
There Is something the matter with
a city OF the size Of Las Vegas that
can't spend a thousand dollars a year
on a public library without haggling
and quGrreling over II. 1t would be
an everlasting disgrace to allow the
doors OF the public library to close
for want Of support. II Is reproach
enough to allow the institution to get
into debt. A thousand doiiars a year
has been voted by the city council for
the support of the library and the
amount should be paid promptly.

has declared for joint statehood for

not been materially changed by the

We admire his outspoken honesty.

THE HOLY CITY
PLEASED A FAIR SIZED AUDIENCE
AT THE GRAND OPERA HOUSE
LAST NIGHT.

Gordon & Benefits spectacular pro-
duction of THE Holy City" attracted
n fair sized aurience to the Grand Op.
era House last night and gave excel
lent satisfaction, the cast and scenic
effects being unusually fine.
Clarence Bennett, an old time Fair
mont favorite, was in the cast, having
taken the parts of John the Baptist,
and Judas Iscariot and the roles being
so different, it gave him splendid OPP
portunity to display his versatility.
Another member of the cast deserving
special mention was J. H. Taylor, who
played the part of NIarius, young Ro-
man. and his work was exceptionally
good. Caiaphas the High Priest, as
interpreted by Frederick Siebke, was
we'll done, and Harry Arnold as An.
drew. gave an excellent rendition OF
his part.
Miss Pasqualina De Voc as Salome,
came in for large share of the hon
ors for her unusually clever interpre-
tation of her role, her emotional work
being of a character that stamps her
an actress of much ability.
Raymond Gilbert's Pontius PLATE
was good, and in fact the rest of the
large cast handled their respective
parts with credit.
