and similar advertising matter and, I'M
less greatly hurried, one walked through
il slowly, as through picture gallery,
observing carefully the latest eontribu-
tions to its works Of art. To high met
tied steeds it must have looked like a
stretch of African jungle with lions and
tigers threatening them ON every side,
and ii is small wonder that the bridge ETH
quette OF mot faster than walk was
totally disregarded.
Now its walls are kept free from pos
tiers, and careful attention is given to its
repairs. The north abutment has been
once relaid, and the south abutment will
in few years need strengthening, but
the expense is small indeed, comparative
ly speaking, that enables the stout old
bridge TO bear up safely the stream Of
travel that flows across it every day.
Since 1s47 at least, the bridge has stood
almost unchanged in the midst of con-
slant changes, and the sight Of its
weather beaten walls moves us, like
Longfellow.
To "think how many thousands
OF care-encumbered men,
Each bearing his burden of sorrow,
Have crossed the bridge since them"

About the year 1876, the voters of Ran
dolph in town meeting assembled appro-
priated the sum of 5000 for new bridge
TO span the waters OF the roaring Branch
and TO replace an earlier open structure
with side ratings that had previously
provided passage across the river for man
and beast
As result OF this action in town meet
ing, the present covered bridge was erect
ed under the direction OF Boss Twitehell
Of Gaysville, one Of whose workmen was
A. B. Fish OF this village, then youth of
Is or l6.
Situated in the hollow OF two steep in
clines, countless hoofs have Numbered
over this bridge for go years with so lit
tie effect upon its firm foundation that il
seems good for a complete century of
honorable service. Though il has not the
airy grace of modern constructions in
steel and iron, it has in many eyes the
homely charm Of an old landmark, and
its solid strength proves the truth OF the
lines, sin the elder days of art, builders
wrought with greatest care each minute
and unseen part, for the gods see every
where.n

Attractions Booked For Chandler Hall.

Already plans are being made for Sc
ries OF entertainments in Chandler Music
hall the coming season that will give the
people of Randolph and its vicinity an
opportunity to see such first-class attrac-
tions as will appear at Burlington, Barre
and Claremont.
The possession of an elegant new hall
with adequate stage room for the produc-
tion of good play makes this place
point TO be included in the schedules of
other companies than the transforming
aggregations, upon whose performances
we have heretofore been obliged to form
our ideas of dramatic art. A finely APP
pointed hall, however, is not all that is
needed to secure the best talent. 1t
should be borne in mind that this will be
our trial year with the profession and
that actors worthy of the name will not
play a second season to an empty house,
no matter how well adapted to their pur-
poses it may be. Unless the public pa
tronage warrants the assumption that
good acting, good plays and good music
are appreciated in Randolph, we shall I'M
doubtedly have to depend again upon an
occasional 'Uncle Toms Cabin" COM
meet our simple requirements in the way
of amusement.
The directors of the hall are E. I. Sails
bury, manager, NJ. NJ. Wilson and Rev.
Fraser Metzger. The season will open
Sept. with the "Choir Singer" very
popular play, and the other attractions so
far booked are sway Down East, +" "The
Lion and the Mouse,' "Rose of the
Rancho, and 'The Holy City," These
companies will come on the sharing plan,
taking So, 70 or so per cent of the re-
ceipts, and generous patronage will be
needed to convince them that we are
worth second visit.
1t is the intention of the directors to
have play, concert or lecture every two
or three weeks, including the Entertain
ment course, and the prospect makes the
winter months look decidedly more allur-
ing.
j. w. Raymond will be treasurer and
George z. Hutchinson stage manager.
There will be man in charge of the
check room, two doorkeepers, nine ushers
and eight stage hands, none of whom
have yet been selected.
Seats will range in price from 81 to 20
cents. For the more expensive class of
entertainments prices will be as follows:--
First four rows of the pit, rs cents;
next eight rows, 81; next four rows, 70
cents last two rows, 90 cents; first row
in the first balcony, 81; next two rows, 20
cents last two rows, so cents; second
balcony, 20 cents throughout. For
ordinary attractions the prices of seats

Weston--Ellison.
Edwin Bell Weston of West Derry, n.
H., and Miss Lena Adele, only daughter
of Mrs. Eugene Ellison, were united in
marriage at O'Clock last Thursday eve
ming at the home of the brides mother on
Weston street. Rev. X, NJ. Fowler OF
the Methodist church was the officiating
clergyman, and few intimate friends
witnessed the service.
Evergreen wound the stairway, down
which the bridal party descended to the
parlor and took their stations in an
arched recess draped with white lace
curtains covered with ferns and punches
of sweet peas. The solid green arch was
studded with sweet peas, and bouquets of
the same fragrant flower were scattered
about the rooms.
The bride was very prettily gowned in
white lansdowne, trimmed with lace and
white velvet ribbon, and she carried
white roses. ]. B. Drew of Ithaca, n. Y,
performed the duties of best man, and
Mrs. Drew, wearing light organdie, was
matron of honor.
Refreshments we're served, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Weston drove to Bethel, where their
friends finally consented to leave them to
begin wedding trip of two weeks
duration. They are to reside in West
Derry, N. H., where Mr.. Weston, who is
a son of the late Governor Weston of New
Hampshire, has established himself in the
practice OF law.

UNITED STATES
LEADS IN SHOES
Great Increase In Value
Of Great Staple
Industry

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 28.-The
United States as leader in the manu-
facture Of shoes, and the great in
crease in value in every kind of boots
and shoes, are interesting points
brought out in report issued by the
census bureau today relating to the
manufacture of boots and shoes, leath-
er and leather gloves and mittens for
1905.
II shows that there were 1876 es-
adjustments engaged in the industry,
having $l22,526.093 cap. tai, 149,934
wage earners, wages amounting to
$69,O59,6S0, cost of material amounting
to 1920, 10Y, 1872. All of these items, ex-
cepting the number of establishments,
show an increase for the five-year
period since the last census. Capital
and value of products increased at the
same rate. The number of establish
ments decreased most Is per cent
since 1900
Hides to the number of 17,5S1,613,
costing 599, reported by $50 es-
adjustments, represented 46.6 per
cent of the total cost of mater ais. The
use of hemlock and oak bark extract
for tanning has increased greatly. Sole
leather formed more than onehalf OF
the value of all leather manufactured.
At the census of 1905 there was an
important concentration of the indus
try. in the Eastern states. Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts, New York and
New Jersey reported products valued
at over $4,000 900; their combined to-
tai of $17,764,24S was IS per cent of
the total for the United States.
Leather gloves and mittens were
made in 339 establishments. Their
total cost was $40, 7O5,559; they manu-
featured products valued at $17,740,3s5.
Thre were S,370,146 dozen pairs of
g owes, mittens and gauntlets manu-
featured, valued at over $4,000, 600, an
increase since 1900 of 16 per cent in
number and almost per cent in value.
Kid and leather gloves imported in
1905 aggregated $4727, 4S9

She TOOK
CHURCH MONEY
Treasurer of Church Society
Embezzled Of Its
Funds

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, May 28.-Dis-
missing her lawyer, Helen Dixon yes
terday walked before the bar Of the
circuit court and pleaded guilty to the
charge of embezzlement of $1,000 from
the organ funds of the Cleaner society
of the Second Presbyterian church and
also to the forgery of note for $500.
The prisoners demeanor was cool
and self-possessed and there was no
change when Judge C. d. Myers SEN
fenced her to the penitentiary for an
indeterminate term. She will be taken
to prison today. r 49,
Miss Dixon was able to obtain bonds
for the first week after the charge OF
embezz. ement was brought against
her, but when charge of forgery was
filed and there came rumors Of other
REGULATIONS, her bondsmen became
alarmed and surrendered her to the
sheriff. She has been in jail since.
Miss Dixon was arrested last Feb
ruary. She was treasurer Of the
cleaner society and the money she APP
propriated was to have been used to
paw for a new organ. When the or
gan was received there was no money
to pay for it.
When called on for an explanation
Miss Dixon told conflicting stories az
to what she had done with the money
1t is understood she spent the money
on clothes for herself.

FREE GAMES
FOR LADIES
Philadelphia Team Invites
Ladies Coming to Elks
Convention

PHILADELPHIA, May 2S.-One Of
the many treats in store for the ladies
who are coming to the annual conven-
ton and reunion of the B. p. o. Elks,
which is to be held in this city during
the week of July Is, Is an invitation to
attend all of the ball games played
that week by the Philadelphia team Of
the National league.
The officers of the Philadelphia Ball
company have informed the commit
tee in charge of the convention that
as compliment to the Elks they will
admit all ladies wearing the official
badge free of charge, and no limit is
placed as to the number. The park at
which the Phillies play is reputed to
be the finest in the country and is in
itself worth a visit
In arranging the schedule for the
season the Nat onal league took into
consideration the Eiks' reunion with
the result that an interesting series
was reserved for the home team for
that week. On the first day of the
convention Chicago will be the visiting
team. On Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday the Quakers will have as
their opponents the boys from Cincin-
natl, and on Friday St. Louis will be
the attraction.
Special preparations are now being
made to entertain at the ball grounds
an exceptionally large number of Ia
dies.
