Appointed Game Warden.

Henry G. Thomas ofStowe, Vermont's
fish and game commissioner, has ap-
pointed A. H. Noyes county game ward
en- and Mr. Noyes has already qualified
for this office. He will give especial at
tention to Sunday hunting and some Of
our sportsmen may not know, though
they ought to know, that Sunday is a
closed season on all game. And in
addition to this fact there is law on
our statutes against hunting on Sunday.
There are at present SO deputy game
wardens in this county and it will be
one of Mr.. Moves first duties to appoint
his deputies. Mr.. Thomas has made an
excellent appointment and Mr.. Noyes
proposes to see that the game laws Of
the state are obeyed and violations
prosecuted.

Railroad Wants Judgment Reviewed.

Counsel for the Boston & Maine Rail
road has presented in the Supreme court
petition for writ of certiorari for the
review of judgment ofthe Federal court
in Vermont awarding John N Gokey,
brakeman. $3.50 for personal injuries
received in 1901 by being knocked off a
train by a switch target at Lyndonville,
and also the decision of the Circuit Court
of Appeals affirming that Judgment and
holding it had no jurisdiction to pass
upon the sufiicency Of service in the suit.
Service was had under the Vermont law
by attachment upon two locomotives, a
copy of the writ being served on Division
Superintendent Folsom of the Connect
cut and Passumpsic River division. The
company's counsel raised the question of
it's sufficiency in the trial court and when
overruled carried an appeal to the
Court of Appeals, which, by a divided
bench, held that's was without authori-
ty to pass upon the jurisdctional power
of the Circuit courts. The question thus
raised is an interesting one in procedure,
as other courts of appeals have held to
the contrary and the Supreme Court has
never passed upon the point directly.

Methodist Ministers at Barton.

The winter session of the Methodist
Episcopal Preachers Association OF the
northern section of the st. Johnsbury
district was held at Barton last week
Tuesday and Wednesday. Helpful and
interesting papers were presented Tues
day afternoon by Rev. A. w. Hewitt,
Rev. G. c. Mcdonald, Rev. R. ]. Chrystie.
Ten minute speeches on 1.-THE Best Revi-
val Have Personally Known" were
given by Rev. j. M. Frost, Rev. F. c.
Potter, Rev. Albert Gregory and Rev.
W. X. Davenport. The speakers in the
evening were Presiding Elder F, W.
Lewis, Rev. J. M. Frost and Rev. W. X
Davenport Rev. Mr.. Lewis dealt with
his subject in mastery way; Key. Mr.
Davenport dwelt eloquently on his sub
iect and of Rev. Mr. Frost the Barton
Monitor says: "The chairman, R. ].
Chrvstie, who had doubtless received
communication from the weather man,
here announced the coming OF genuine
Frost. If the announcement caused any,
one to SILVER he was soon treasured by
the smiling face, and genial manner of
Rev. ]. M. Frost, who always seems like
a morning in spring and who charmed
us all by the way in which he spoke on
The Forces with Which We Fight Mr.
Frost is a man of strong convictions
and never fails to both please and i'm
press his hearers"
The secretary's report contained such
words of appreciation of the efforts OF
the members as to bring blushesto their
cheeks, as they so seldom receive them.
The important matter of a District Ii
brary association was taken up Wednes-
day. The constitution provides that
any pastor on the St. Johnsbury district
may become member by the payment
of one dollar to the purchasing com
mittee, and shall so continue by the pay
ment of fifty cents annually thereafter.
The books are to be kept at the district
parsonage. Undoubtedly this will prove
very popular.
After the business Rev. A. B. Blake
gave a very lucid review of Churchill's
"Coniston." A talk on Sunday school
work was given by Rev. W. R Daven-
port. The afternoon speakers were Rev.
!. E. Sweet, Rev. w. E. Allen, Rev. H. E..

ST. Johnsbury 43 Montpelier 81.

ST. Johnsbury Academy scored a VIC
tory over the fast quintet from Mont
pelier High School last Thursday even
ing by the score of 43 to 81. 1t was a
clean and scientific exhibition of this pop
ular game, in which rough house play
and questionable tactics were eliminated
and instead were substituted by good
generalship clever floor and team work
and expert basket shooting. Barrett
was in his usual good form and by heady
PLAYING and strict attention to the game,
succeeded in caging the ball six times,
netting ST. J. A. IL points. CHUCK y
Spaulding was also in evidence at all
times and upheld his reputation as a star
performer by rolling up the largest indi-
vidua score, IS points. Cummings
threw four baskets from the floor and
three from fouls, and was always on
hand at critical times. Hooker and Stone
played a star blocking game and came in
for their share of the applause, which
was generously handed out to both
teams. Therriault excelled for the vlsl-
tors, while Heggie and Reed were both
effective. The result of this game is es-
pecially pleasing to the local fans because
of the fact that the leaders of the inter
scholastic league, the crack Morrisville
team, only succeeded in defeating the
same team by one point, which gives st.
|. A. reason to believe they are stillin the
running and have fair chance of land
ing the championship. The writer of the
article in Montpelier paper, wherein it
is charged that the Montpelier High boys
weer obliged to play both the team and
the audience, must surely have overlook
ed the fact that two players alone on the
Academy lineup contributed as many
points as were credited to the entire Wis
iting team. In refutation of this report we
would say that they were accorded the
fairest treatment and were used like gen
tlemen. The next league game will be
played Monday evening with Montpelier
Seminary and it promises to be a fast
game. That there will be a good atten-
dance is an assured fact as st Johnsbury
people have come to know good basket
bali, and that is the kind they are sure to
witness with St. Johnsbury Academy do
ing the honors, The line up:
