The w. c. T. U. Meeting.

The regular February meeting of the
w. c. I. U. which was held at the home
of Mrs. Freelove Spaulding, February
81, was memorial service in commemo-
ration of the death OF Miss Frances E.
Willard, which occurred February II,
1898. The meeting opened with devo-
tional exercises, the scripture theme be.
ing, "Christ the resurrection and the
life" After the prayer, which was
offered by Rev. James A. Thompson, the
interesting program which was arranged
by Mrs. Spaulding was carried out.
Miss Wizards fayorte poem "The
dear little heads in the pew" was read
by Mrs. E. N. Randall and music ap-
propriate to the occasion was rendered
by Mrs. Robert Mackinnon and Mrs.
David Williams. Miss Lulu Lewis read
the address of Senator Beverage OF
Indiana, given at the unwilling of Miss
Wizards statue in the Capitol at Wash.
ington.
The special feature of the after
noon was the address by Rev. Mr..
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson spoke in a
very appreciative manner Of Miss Will
lard's lite and work, and the cause for
which she stood was forcibIy presented
in an able address. A photograph OF
Miss Willard occupied prominent po-
sition, and at the close OF the service
each person present laid flower on the
table before the picture in loving remem-
brance of one whose beautiful life has
closed, but whose memory will be fra
grant through all coming years.

severe but that any person in Lamoille
county whose paper was right applying
to us for financial aid has been refused"
In conclusion the Governor gave this
advice. He stated that the time was
near at hand when the lumber business
OF the state will soon be but history.
Unless. we, the banks, are prepared TO
say to manufacturers, avail yourself of
our unused waterpowers, develop them
to the iull-and do this with the money
the banks are prepared to loan you at a
low rate of interest, we have but one
recourse for our people and that is agri-
culture. The manufacturer desires cheap
prices. 1t is here for him in Vermont.
Let as extend the helping hand, gladly,
willingly, and | am sure we will have
few if any regrets. With a prosperous
people, prosper the banks. With an idle
people banking comes to a standstill.
We need manufacturing-we are well
equipped to turn the wheels of many
industries. 1t is up to US as bankers to
take the initiative and show the manu-
facturer that he is not only welcome
among us, but that the hand is warm
in its greeting, and that the rate of in
terest we can offer him be like a fortune
timed vessel to the wrecked mariner.
Raymond U. Smith, the Wells River
lawyer, was the last speaker and in a
short speech that scintiIated with wit
and sharp but friendly thrusts, be kept
bis audience in good humor from the first
crack out of the box, when be said he
believed the organization was formed
because Of the little sum OF ten cents
which the Boston clearing house charged
the country banks for collecting checks.
Between the speeches Frank 0. French
OF St. Johnsbury kept the audience in
continuous laughter by his clever mono
logue work and topical songs. 1t was
after midnight before the assembly broke
up and all admitted it had been one of
the most enjoyable and most profitable
in the history OF the organization.

Mir. Lacey Says for COnEKesH to Qun
 for Christmas Is "IdAotfes"
 Washington, Dec. 19.--fn the House today, Representative Lacey of Iowa. took a pronounced position in oppasi- ton to the adjournment of Congress for the Christmas holidays, declaring that 'it Is idiotic for the House to ad4 journ and then jam all legislation through under whip and spur during the closing days
 The expression was called out Tn con- nection with the discussion of a reso- lution looking. to an increase for the enrolling force of the House. MT. Fitzgerald of New York had just con- cluded a speech in opposition to the resolution in which he had sharply criticised the mistakes .n appropria- tion bills made at the close of the last session. MT. Lacey declared that ow- ing to the policy of holding the prin- cipal work on the appropriation pllls until the closing days of the session, the enrolling clerk had worked forty" eight hours in succession and he con- tended that under such circumstances, mistakes were to be expected.
 Mir. Clark of Missouri declared that the statement made by Mir. Lacey about the idiocy of adournlng at hoIi- days was the most sensible thing he had said for the past twelve years. On division, the absence of quorum was disclosed The speaker was about to order roll cali when Mir. Payne ot New York moved that the House ad- iourn, which was done.

WANTS TO HELP MERRILL.

Roosevelt Would Promote Georgia
 Sheriff Who Did Duty.
 Washington, Dec 19.-The following letter was given out at the White House today: ~.-..
 '"rhe White House.
 "Washington. Dec. 17, 1906.
 "Dear MT. Bonaparte-Some three years ago Sheriff J. l. Merrill of Car roll County, Georgia, lost his chance for reelection by his action in beating off a mob of several hundred white people who were trying to take me- gro out of jail and put him to death. Sheriff Merrill and his deputies fired on the mob, killing and wounding sev- eral men and beating tho others off. Because of this, he was defeated for reelection. Congressman Adamson brought the matter to my attention, saying that he hated to see man who had done such a service as public off, ficiaI defeated because of the very fact that he had rendered the service. He told me that Governor Terrell had of- fered Merrill a place. the best he had to give which carried a salary of $50 per month. I told the Congressman thought I could beat that and got him a place at $1,200 year as custodian of the grounds of the Federal prison at Atlanta. I hear he has done we'll If he has done well, can't we give him a promotion? Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt. Honorable Charles U. Bonaparte, Att
 torney- General"

 Boston, Dec. 19.--F'ire today caused heavy damage in the block bounded by Fremont, Bromheld. Washington and Winter Streets, and although the flames were confined practically to one struc- tive, the Studio building in Fremont Street, it, for a time, threatened to cause much greater destruction.
 The fire broke out on the lower floor of the Eldridge & Peabody furniture establishment and quickly swept up through the six stories of the firm in the Studio building. The roof fell and the fire jumped across a narrow alley to the roof of the Orpheum Theatre. formerly Boston's famous music hall, and to the top of the building occupied by the @Tafbot Company. ciotfiers, fa Washington Street. The flames did in- considerable damage to both structures, but the Talbot building was flooded by bursting hose. The firemen had to fight in narrow alley on ice-coated ladders and fire escapes and with their own bodies encased in ice.
 Arough estimate of the property loss places the total at about s150,000, of which Eldridge & Peabody bears $75,- 900. and the Talbot Company, $50,O00. A number of artists. architects. dentists and others in the Studio building were burned out.
