THE UNITARIAN FAIR.

Festival hall blossomed out yesterday
at the hands of the women OF the Uni
tartan church and presented very at-
tractive appearance when the annual 1alr
was held. Busy hands were at work all
day and everything was in readiness Tor
the opening of the fair at CLOCK when
the women in charge of the various
booths took their places and were ready
TO sell something to all who came inside
the hall. Their success was shown IN
the rapidity with which the pretty and
useful articles were cleared from the
tables. The weather man smiled on them
and allowed the sun to come out for the
first time in four days.
At the head of the hall was the large
bower built up of asparagus in which cut
flowers and potted plants were sold by
Mrs c. A Miles and Mrs. John Brasor.
In-one corner next the stage Mrs George
E Foster and Miss Marjorie White sold
a surprising quantity of tempting nome
made candy from another asparagus
trimmed booth and next to them was dis
played a large and varied assortment OF
aprons and domestic articles to suit all
kinds of work and play. This table was
in charge of Mrs. George w. Norcross
and Mrs. E. Q. S. Osgood.
The preparations which had been made
for the fair were most apparent at the
fancy table where Mrs. Oscar Ester
brook and Mrs. john D. BarroWS oHeleu
the dainty results of weeks of work by
the women. There was something there
to attract everyone and none OF the
booths did a more constant business.
Lemonade was served by the Misses
Clough from an asparagus well bright
ened with golden glow and at the lower
corner of the hall was somewhat SINH
lar well from which mysterious grab
packages were drawn to the great de-
light of the little folks who came back
again and again to try their fortune.
Miss Edith Esterbrook presided over the
grab well. One of the most attractive
places in the hall was called an odds and
ends booth. in charge of Miss Ethel Os-
good and Miss Elizabeth White. great
variety of odd foreign articles, collected
by Miss Osgood and Miss White on their
recent trip abroad, were offered for sale
and found ready purchasers.
BY no means the least attractive part
of the fair was the supper served on the
European plan. The small tables were
decked with flowers and were in charge
of an able corps of Mattresses who were
kept busy for nearly two hours before the
last of the guests were satisfied The ta-
bles were all filled as soon as the sup
per was announced and many were then
in waiting for the second tables.
In the evening Leitsingers orchestra
gave a pleasing concert and played for
the dancing afterwards.

The fortieth annual number OF Poor's
Manual, recently issued, places the gross
earnings Of the railroads of the United
States during 1906 at $l,124 500, 800, an in

The price of the small sizes Of an
thracite coal was advanced 25 per cent
in New York city Sept. l and a further
advance is expected. The change is
mainly accounted for by the great in
crease in the cost of labor and the in
ability OF the coal producers in Penn
sylvania to obtain an adequate supply of
labor but insufficient transportation IA
cilities and enlarged demand for small
sizes of coal are factors in advancing the
cost The producers claim that Pennsyl
vania S new labor law Is a great annoy
ance. There are thousands Of men in
the state who might be at work in the
mines were it not for legislation requir-
ing all miners to have state certificates
guaranteeing experience and qualiica-
tions for the work The employment of
newly arrived foreigners is prevented
by this law. They were employed extern
sively in the past. Under the present
law it is impossible to operate the mines
to their fullest capacity. And at the
same time the demand for coal has in
creased at an unprecedented rate.

The prediction OF Z. ]. Ferguson, su-
perintendent of the anti-saloon league,
made at the Universalist convention in
Barre, that the time is coming wnen Ner-
mont will return to prohibition, may not
be far out of the way. The steady de-
crease III the number OF license towns at
each annual election and the fact that
even the larger cities have had their
dry" years would indicate tnat the mar
gin between prohibition and license is
growing smaller, Ii is significant how
ever, to observe that even Mr.. Ferguson
admits that the prospective prohibitory
law would be greatly modified as COM
pared with the old statutes.-lB lBenning-
ton Banner.
We would like to see Vermont become
genuinely prohibition-not by
a return of the old law or modification of
it but by the evolution process through the
use of its local-option law. Such re-
suit is within the realm OF possibility
when in the NTH year of local-option less
than ten per cent OF the towns and cities
of the state maintain legalized saloons,
and it seems TO US that this is wnat the
trend of events and of public sentiment
indicates rather than the re-enactment of
the prohbitory law. The time when the
people of Vermont begin to think about
prohibition again will be when the license
law is not enforced.

Policies That Insure Success
In Savings Banks

Every good banking institution has
certain policies which it follows in
variably and which make for the sue
cess of failure of the bank. The
Enosburg Falls Standard evidently
believes the Hyde Park Savings Bank
is following the right kind of policies.
1t says;
Ex.Gov. c. S. Page has every reason for
pride and satisfaction over the record made
by the Lamoille County Savings Bank, which
on July II, passed the million-dollar mark in
assets. This is dstnotively a Vermont in
stitution for it has been the policy of the
bank since its establishment that none of its
loans should be made out of the state 1t
has never lost a dollar by a poor note. Its
depostors are to be found in practically
every town in the state. Its policies have
commanded patronage and made for its sue
cess.
This bank pays 4 per cent. COM

Sl00 or more.

GAME WAS A TIE.
Then Rain Put an End to the Struggle
Between 8ondviIle and Nemane-Wlr
Meet Again Sept. ID.

The baseball championship of Southern
Vermont was contested on the island
Monday afternoon between teams repre-
senting Newfane and Bondville. 1t was
freak exhibition as rain came down
briskly most of the time and the ground
was so slippery that everything was ex-
cusable. The score was tied at the end
of the fouth inning. At the end of the
sixth inning, when there appeared no
sign of let-up, the players agreed to
meet again week from tomorrow at the
same place and fight it out. The score
then stood SIS. This decision was heartily
seconded by the crowd on the bleachers
who scurried for home and dry clothes.
The Bondville team had one Bondville
man on it. The rest were mostly from
Greenfield. spike" Davis, a Brattleboro
player, was on third, and Charles Stolte
Of this town was signed from the bleach
ers to fill out the nine. He contributed
the one sensational play by sliding safely
home in the mud on the tips of his toes
to save a pair of new trouses from con-
tact with the dirt Bush pitched for
Newfane and did well considering the
waterlogged ball which he had to handle.
Maloney was in the box for Bondville.
In the first inning Newfane scored once,
Clayton making the run on errors due to
the poor conditions Of the field. No more
scoring was done until the third when
from second on Stolte's two bagger and
Stolte being helped home by a two base
hit by II. Williams. Newfane failed to
make connections in that inning but dur
ing an especially vigorous downpour in
the fourth made two runs Bondville also
scored once in this inning. The fifth in
ming was devoid of incident except that
the crowd began to drift homeward.
Neither side scored but in the sixth each
club added two runs. Casey and Davis
scoring for Bondville runs and Ober and
Nichols tying the score for Newfane. The
rain was then coming down so fast that
it was hard to sees across the diamond,
and the game was called Off. The lineup:

\ strike that was unique in labor an
nails took place in Keene last week Men
usually strike because they want shorter
hours or more pay without change Of
hours, but the employees of a box shop
in Keene demanded the restoration of the

and they were dissatisfied with the
eight-hour day and the consequent re-
duction in their wages. The revolt end
ed quickly, the company agreeing to
allow all Of the hands to return to work
on the 1O-hour schedule.

"This Reminds Me-"

The man who reports the runaways was
reminded by the news from Hinsdale yes
terday morning of the story of the Irish
man who thought he would get even with
his old cows switching tail in fly time
and so, when he sat down to milk, he tied
some stout Strands of the long hairs into
the strap of his boot. The COW, finding
the use Of her tail thus enjoined, suddenly
concluded to try the other end of her
anatomy and made a bolt around the
barnyard dragging her owner after her,
"Begorra," he said, when he finally picked
