Y. n. G. A. Lecture Course.

The plan to provide good concert In
connection with the auction sale of seats
for the Y. NJ. c. A course this season is
a pleasing innovation.
The idea Of the committee is to insure
a good sized audience for the auction sale
of seats. The concert is excellent and
the prices charged are so low that the
house should be we'll filled. None can
take offense at the arrangement, as the
price OF admission to this entertainment
is refunded to all purchasers OF course
tickets.
AS to the orchestra, one OF the COM
mittee had the privilege of hearing them
play last week in Boston, and he says
that it is "the greatest little orchestra"
he ever heard. How so few musicians
can produce so much and so good music
is a wonder The Astrella Brothers are
we'll known in and about Boston and
nothing but favorable reports are heard
Miss Anna Mae Somerville needs no
introduction or recommendations. Her
voice is far superior to many of the So
pranos who have sung in our concerts in
the past, and the committee do not in
tend to overlook the good talent at
home this season, to secure inferior
solosts from distant city.
Edward Kingsley is not so well known
in st. Johnsoury, but those who have
had the privilege of hearing him, have
been much pleased with his work and
will welcome this opportunity OF hearing
him in the concert.
The concert and sale are at Music Hal
Friday evening, commencing promptly
at 7 As O'Clock. Tickets for the concert
are now on sale at Bingham's and Cor
don's.
The lecture committee have distributed
this week the prospectus for the course
and it is an attractive booklet containing
lots OF information about the various
entertainments. The course includes
four concerts, one magician, one pla,
and two lectures. Rev. DR.. Henson O
Boston will lecture on Cracks OF Ten
derfoot" and Rev. DR.. 7. P. Frost's sub
ject is THE Queer Side OF the Averag
American" The committee believe i
will prove to be one OF the most popula
courses ever offered St. Johnsbury auG

Crossed the Ocean In a Dory.

In happened in a New York club one
night when all the travellers were telling
how they made their trip around the
world and when it came to Col. Thomas
w. Kuox's turn he said he walked. The
author of the famous boy Traveller"
series then explained how he went from
America to Asia via Alaska and the
Aleutian islands and how he came the
nearest to walking that any man could
do. Mrs. Joanna Grape of New Bedford,
Mass. who is staying in st. Johnsbury
Tor few weeks, had more remarkable
experience. for she crossed the Atlantic
ocean some Is years ago in a 19-foot
doyy. She went with her husband, Capt.
Thomas Grape, who met with tragic
death off Point Judith about six years
ago. and she has the unique distinction
of being the only woman who ever
crossed the Atlantic in a dory. Their
| boat was 10 feet over all, 6 feet and two
inches in width and 80 inches deep.
They were 40 days in making the trip,
during which time they encountered
seven storms and big school of whales.
1t was only when the big monsters Of
the deep appeared that they were really
in danger, but by being careful not to
disturb them in their sports the little
boat finally passed out Of their way.
After reaching England they were pre-
sented to Queen Victoria and her court
and received many presents from royalty
and Others interested in this unique and
successful voyage. Mrs. Grape has had
II years OF seagoing with her husband,
who was famous New Bedford sea
captain, is an entertaining talker, and
has recently published book entitled
Strange but True" which describes her
remarkable ocean voyage.

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING.
The School Directors Instructed 10 Pay
the Academy Tuition in Fall.

At well attended special town meet
ing Saturday afternoon the town school
directors were ordered to pay S46 year
for the tuition of town pupils at st.
Johnsbury Academy, the same amount
that has been paid for the past three
years.
P. F. Hazen, as moderator, presided,
the call was read by H. W. Blodgett,
town clerk, and the position Of the school
directors was outlined by Rev. A. F.
Walch, the chairman of the board. Mr..
Walch said that they had been governed
by the legal decision of the town agent,
L. P Slack, which was also confirmed
by the decision of Attorney Gen eral
Fits.
Robert w. Simonds made a vigorous
speech in favor OF paying the same price
as before, $46 per year. and introduced
the folio wing resolution:
Whereas, the town Of st. Johnsbury
has no high school and cannot provide
one within the current school year, and
it appears by the statement OF the Town
School Directors made in and to this
meeting, that it isimpossible for them to
procure and provide for the advarc pu-
pills OF the own, in an Academy the higher
instruction required by law to be fur
nished by the town except by the pay
ment of sum in excess Of eight dollars,
per term or twenty-four dollars per year,
for each pupil, and it appears that such
instruction can be procured and provided
for by them in St. Johnsbury Academy
for the current school year at and for the
sum of forty-six dollars per year for
each pupil as during the past year.
Now, therefore, Resolved, that said
directors be and they hereby are author.
lied and instructed to procure and pro-
vide for such instruction in said
Academy and to pay said Academy there
for upon the same terms as during the
past year, and further
Resolved, That resident pupils, gradu-
ates OF the st. Johnsbury parochial
schools be admitted on the same terms
and conditions as graduates OF the st.
Jobnsbury PUBIC SCHOOLS
Elisha May moved that the resolution
be adopted. The principal debate occur
ed over the last paragraph in the resolu-
ton. Supt. Dempsey said that no appli-
cant to the Academy from the parochial
schools had ever been refused admittance
to St. Johnsbury Academy, and Principal
Comstock said that the Academy never
Disseminated against any one because OF
his religious or political belief. John Nc
Donald made one of his characteristic
speeches, saying that we did not want
any sectarian question introduced into
our municipal affairs. "We are all
American citizens." Lawyer Simonds
explained the reason of introducing the
last paragraph in the resolution after
which the resolution was adopted with
only one dissenting vote.
