have come out strongly for Geo. f..
Prouty OF Newport for the second place
on the Republican state ticket. Mr..
Prouty is a strong man for the place and
while the same may also be said OF Mer-

in the lead. and it looks now as if he

Clements Decision Means ProctOr's
Election.
The result OF this decision" will be
that Fletcher Proctor will be nominated
by reclamation at the coming R, pub i.
can state convention and undoubtedly
his election as Governor will follow by a
safe majority in September. The Re-
publicans of Vermont are strongly allied
to party ties and they do not see any
reason at this time why party allegiance
should be abandoned and support give n
to one who seeks the governorship out
side Of the party channels. Ever since
the formation Of the Republican party
Vermont has followed in the Republican
ranks and we mistake the signs if we 90
not see grand rally to the support OF

Catching nj the Inst Straw.

An intimation comes from an inside
source that one OF the plans of the Bell
campaign is to address letter to each
Grange voter in the Second district, just
before the caucuses are held, appealing
for support for Gov. Bell in his congress
sionaI aspirations. Would the Changers
OF Vermont tolerate any attempt OF this
kind to turn its Grange into political
machine? We think not.-[Brattlebero

TO ELECT ON FRIDAY.
Navy's Captain To Be Selected
On That Date.

: The election of a captain of the Ma
val Academy football for the season of
1907 Will take place on Friday even
ing next. Three OF this year play
ers are eligible for election 10 the
captaincy. They are William b. Pier
sol. of Philadelphia, Pa; Archibal d
III. Douglass. of Knoxville. Tenn,
and William II. nague, of Fowler,
Ind. All three viii be members of
the first class and are consequently
eligible for the eaptaincy. Ii is gen
orally conceded that any OF the three
would make an excellent captain and
the final choice Will not be a dispar-
agement Of the other two.
A strong sentiment is behind Piersol
for the position, both on account of
the length of his service 10 the team
and also to feeling that he has quail
titles which fit him TO lead the team.
Piersol has played in four games
against West Point. but the question
of his eligibility for next season has
been thoroughly considered and there
is no doubt that he is eligible TO
play.
Piersol has been a bulwaTk of de
fense on the Navy team and is also
a strong man to carry the ball, though
this year he was not used much in
this way on account of his injur
les. Last year, which was the turn
ing point of the football games with
the Army, Piersol was the NaVy's
best groundgainer and il is no secret
that he was feared more than any
other player by the Military cadets
this season.

SHOT AT FOUR TIMES.
Much Excitement On West Street
At MONDAY.

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned shortly after noon today ON
West street in front of Martins restau-
rant by the sharp report of q pistol
ringing out ON the MONDAY air.
A man about town better known as
Boots Miller" but whose real name
is Walter Sears, was standing near a
post reading letter when colored
man, Charles johnson, came out of u
saloon nearby. Johnson used some
unseemly language and repeated the
offence again and again, walking
around in front of Sears. The latter
took the matter as an insult and
whipped out pistol, firing four shots
at Johnson, one of which took effect
in the right side under the arm.
Both Sears and Johnson were ar
rested by Constable Small and had Il
hearing before Justice John n. Davis,
who held Sears under $500 bail for
Court, and Johnon was fined So and
costs, amounting TO $S.25.

DEDICATION FINISHED WORK.

The Evening Capital:
Entering st. Mary's from the bril-
liantly lighted vestibule, the main
altar with its innumeTable candles and
many colored lamps presented a beau
tiful sight, but as il evoked by the
first grand bust of harmony from the
organ, as the priests and acolytes fled
into the sanctuary the whole plant
of electric bulbs flashed into one mag
nificant blaze, the effect was almost
bewildering. This grand improve
ment will stand as a monument to the
zeal and energy of the present Very
Rev. Rector, Father Thomas c. Han
ley. 1t seemed fitting that the dedica-
tion of the finished work, which for
many months has been gradually ap-
preaching completion, should have
taken place on the greatest of our
Lady's feasts, that of Her Immaculate
Conception, this being the patronal
feast of both the church and of the
United States, and the first great feast
of the ecclesiastical year, which begins
on the first Sunday of Advent. a
large congregation filled the church.
Professor Zimmerman at the organ,
was at his hest, enlivening with his
magic little interludes the more soil
emn tones of the Gregorian vespers
chanted by the choir. His closing
voluntary was particularly fine.
One singular feature of the brilliant
illuminations is that it causes the
body of the church 10 appear much
smaller.
The Fathers, the congregation and
not least of all those who have work
ed so faithfully to complete this great
work are to be congratulated at the
brilliant success of their labor. +. s.

DON'T DO 1T.

Mr.. Editor:
] went into Sunday school room on
a very recent Sabbath, just at the
time when the lesson was usually
presented, and found the school prac-
ticing Christmas music. Evidently
the lesson was put aside for the day.
What lesson-The Crucifixion. How
tranfcendently important. And yet it
was thrust aside-a link in the quar-
ter's lesson broken, and the school
was sent away without being taught
single truth out of Gods word.
The most vital part of Sunday
school session is the teaching of the
lesson. All the other exercises of the
school bend towards making this
effective. If the lesson is put aside
for music practice il ceases for the
time being to be school and becomes
song rehearsal.
We are aware that i'm some country
schools the only time for practicing
for the Christmas celebration is at the
time of the school session, but even
then do not let the lesson be sacri
feed. | would advise that the school
assemble earlier, if possible, for the
purpose of practicing; that the lesson
time be not encroached upon. Such
practice after the lesson is apt TO neg
ative the impressions made. Let the
scholar go away with the lesson in
his thoughts-it may be, in his heart.
At any rate, don't push aside the
lesson. Don't do it!
