As far as the water board itself is
concerned there exists at present con
siderable doubt rs to whether that body
possesses any power to act as agent for
the village. The powers of corpora
tions are limited strictly to those given
in their charters and there is absolutely
nothing in the Brattleboro village char
ter giving the corporation the right to
elect water board. Thus far how
ever, the board has accomplished so lit
tie that its right to a legal existence
will not affect the question materially.
One thing is certain, and that is that
additional legislation must be secured
before the village can either purchase
or construct system without fear of
LITIGATION. The Meddler.

The annual meeting of the Vermont
State Dairymen IS association will be
held January 8, 9 and 10, but the meet
ing place has not yet been decided
upon. Montpelier is not favored on ac-
count of its high hotel rates and it is
probable that the gathering will take
place in Rutland.

The outcome of tonight 5 village
meeting is likely to have an important
bearing on the local water question.
Just what action the voters will take
is doubtful, although nobody would be
surprised if the majority was in favor
of resembling the former vote to arbi-
tratc. If this is done it will unques-
tionabv form the basis of a lawsuit
against the village. Mr.. Crowell claim
ing that work on the Sunset lake sys-
tenn was stopped as result of the ae-
ton of the last special meeting. The
whole matter has become so involved
that many people would like to see the
question of municipal ownership drop
ped for the time being at least. Such
course seems the easiest way out of the
tangle.

People who have frequent occasion
TO travel between here and Boston are
not at all pleased with the change made
by the Central Vermont railroad in
its winter schedule. The New London
train which formerly arrived here at
$50 p. m. now gets into Brattleboro two
hours and five minutes earlier, thus
spelling any Boston connection by the
way of Millers Falls. To reach Brattle'
boro from Boston by the way of the
Central Vermont one is now obliged 10
leave the Hub at about 1 o clock in the
afternoon and 90 over the Boston 4 Al
bany to Palmer The trouble with this
route aside from the time, is the neces-
sity of riding 80 miles instead Of q on
the c. v road. Formerly people would
endure the trip between Millers Falls
and here for the sake of the saving in
time over the Greenfield route, but no
sane person will come home from Bos-
ton via Palmer for the privilege of
giving the G. V. tive sheets and half
out of a mileage book.

An amusing incident occurred at the
annual meeting Of the state federation
of woman 5 clubs in Bennington last
week. Mrs. G. q. Fits, who is chair
man of the committee ON state institu'
ions, began her annual report some
thing ms follows; ~ have been partic'
ularly interested in state institutions
during the past year for the reason that
my husband has been compelled TO
spend most of his time nj the Jail In
Windsor and the house Of correction In
Rutland - The fact that the speaker
modestly refrained from mentioning
that her spouse 5 presence at these in
stitutions was in his official capacity as
attorney. general caused n temporary
misinterpreiation of her meaning ON the
part of some Of her audience, and II
was only when the matter was again
referred to that the mystery was
cleared. As one woman said after the
session, GAS rule | am not in favor
Of signing petitions, but when | heard
Mrs. Fits say that her husband had
been in Jail for nearly year felt like
starting one for his pardon imme'

1t is stated at the postoffice department at
Washington that the question of the status Of
railway mail clerks, in connection with the
operation of the cight.hour law, is one which
will he submitted to the assistant attorney
general of that department for decision. The
action of the American railway mail clerks in
Chicago in adopting resolution declaring
that eight hours should constitute day 5
work has created considerable interest in the
department, because of the fact that this is
one branch of the postal service where it will
be difficult to adjust actual working condi'
tions to the strict letter of the cght.hour
law. The postmastergeneral proposes to give
the mntter most cnrnfnl nttention.

all antipathy, all Feelings of prejudice,

her husband, the late Hugh Paul Sheri-

That her essay to compete with the

meet with other than speedy and COM

many important commissions. This
gratifying attainment of success was
brought about only by constant at

finished simply with French or
double hem will make curtains that
are not out of place with fine fur

This coarse net is wide enough
for u bed cover or spread and can
be simply hemmed and attached to
colored lining, or it may be edged
with a deep fiounce to hang around
a brass bed. 1t may also be long
enough to cover bolster or pillows,
and coarse braid can be used as
liked in ornamentation. Covers for
dressing cases and chiffoniers made
of the net and busted to colored lin

but suspicion of boiled starch or
