proof than such conclusive evidence,
john Byrnes, on West street, living
at 81 Summer street, Barre, VT, says:

There arc many records 81 all sorts,
and an italian, with q passion for dane
ing, has added another that Of tile en-
durance waltz. This novel champions
name is Siguor Grattierro, and he made
his display in Paris on Sunday with
five competitors, lured by the challenge
offer OF Signor Guattierro to give $40
TO the man who could dance him down.
Incidentally, the event established some
thing like a record for The single pian-
list, who played the contest through, for
it was part Of the plan that the success
i've dances should Be played without the
slightest break on interruption, as if
they formed successive movements, Or
a single composition. This was neccs-
sary because it was stipulated that a
single fault in step or time on the part
Of the dancers disqualified The aball''

Bliss and Their Bacon.

The committee of the ancient DuninTw

an unusually large number Of appli<a-
tions from all parts ofthe Kingdom from
couples who were aspifants fur the fitch

not quarrelled for a year and day. and

Great preparations have been made FOR
the trial. Special trains win be run
to Dllnmow, which Is only forty-three
miles from London, and besides the
quaint spectacle OF the trial By Jury az
maiden and bachelors Of Dunmow there
will BE the usual old time English coun-
try fair. similar TO those held when the
fitch was first instituted, over roo
years ago.
The custom WAS instituted IN or about
the war I'LL BY Robert, son AZ Richard
FitzGilbcrt, earl Of Clare. II appears
that the bacon WIS demanded, but re.
ceived on very few occasion for some
centuries. In ISL couple Of the
name Of Shakeshaft, al Weathersfeld,
claimed and received the fitch. Consid.
cradle public notice was evidently taken
OF this particular occasion. inasmuch as
a print OF the procession was published
a year later. m the iifties Harrison
Ainsworth. the novelist. revived the
custom in SNOWY manner.
About twenty years a.o a local conn
mittee was formed AMI since 1855 two
or more couples have annually received
the fitch. In 1899 the Jury Of bachelors
and maidens refused TO award the fitch
owing TO the unsatisfactory evidence
given By the claimants.
Couples from all parts OF the United

invested in the lumber industry last
year.
The value Of lumber and timber prod
ncts turned out in 1905 was s700, 264,-
800, as compared with sos, 1929 in
1900. In the manufacture Of lumber
and in the cutting Of timber in 1906
about 425,000 employees were paid sal.
aries amounting in the aggregate to more

number Of $4,000 were paid salarie.
amounting TO little over 100000, 900

FEARS TROUBLE in Spain.
The Pope IS Worried by Anti-Clerical
Movement.

Paris, Sept. 1.-The Rome correspon.
dent Of the Petit Repnbliqae says that
the Vatican Is much concerned over the
attitude Of Spain in defying the Papal
Nuncio's wishes as to civil marriages
and as to buriais in consecrated ground
The pope not only fears an acute con-
Hict between church and state in Spain
but also disagreeable demonstrations
that are likely to weaken the temporal
sovereignty Of the papacy. Every ef-
fort viii be made TO prevent King Al.
fonso from visiting King Victor En-
manuel during his coming visit to Rome
for fear that other monarchs might fol
low his example. The pope, in order
70 avoid such a misfortune, has direct
ed that every possible concession be
made to Spain in the matters at pres.
ent in dispute.
