CLAIM OF ST. ALsANs ALLOWED
Bill Was for Support Of Insane Pauper
Items DisaIlowed.

Montpelier, Jan. 16.-The court of
claims adjourned yesterday afternoon
until May. The claims of the town of
Brandon for $107.75 and that of Lyn-
don academy for $14633, their share
of the educational fund, were allowed
in full, as was the bill of st Adams
for s3O.71 for supporting Mabel Nc
Cullom, an insane pauper. The sup
port of this patient was chargeable
to the state under treaty laws between
this country and Great Britain, and
Atty-Gen. c. G. Fits designated st.
Adams, as it was the nearest port of
entry.
The court disallowed the claim of
Il. II. Brownson, of Arlington for $50
as 1t was claimed that Brownson was
in collision wit, another party in re-
gard to receiving portion of the fine
for killing deer in the closed sea-
son. The claim of Charles S. Wait
of Brattleboro to recover fine paid
by him for selling cider under a law
which was later declared uHconstitu-
tional and the claim of the Rutland
Light and Power Co., were continued
until the May term.

BANJO ARTISTS MAKE HIT
Songs by Mrs. Mary s. Healy One Of
the Best Features.

The concert given by the Fores-
tiers in their hall Friday evening was
a grand success. The banjo selections
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick J. Bacon
of Hartford, Conn, were the best ever
yet heard in town. Mr.. Bacon's
imitation of colored preacher on his
banjo far surpassed any thing of its
kind ever heard here before.
Mrs. Bacon did her part in a most
pleasing and satisfactory manner.
During the concert Mrs. Mary S.
Healy rendered several vocal solos in
her usual manner which were greatly
appreciated by the large audience.
After the unusually fine program
was rendered, dancing was enjoyed by
most of those present. The committee
in charge of the concert consider this
one of the most satisfactory entertain
ments ever yet attempted by the or
der.

POPE Plus ILL.
Alarm mt Rome Over Reported stroke
of ApoplcNyr


of ApopleNy
ROME, Jan. 1S.-Various alarming
rumors are in circulation here regard
ing the health of Pope Plus. They
were TO the effect that his holiness had
suffered a stroke of apoplexy, that he
had had q bad falnting spell and that
the disease of the heart from which he
suffers had suddenly grown worse.
The reports were more alarmist In
character than those circulated when
Pope Plus few days after his cleo
ton tainted in the Pauline chapel
while celebrating his first pontifical
mass. All were greatly exaggerated,
however, as the pope is only again
suffering from the govt The attack
began during the night and by morn
ing had become so acute that by the
advice of his physician, DIR. Petacci,
his holiness postponed all the audi
ences that had been arranged, though
he insisted that he would receive Car
dinal Merry del Val, the papal secre-
tary of state. and other officials for the
conduct of the ordinary business al
fairs of the Vatican.
DIR. Petaccf does not attach much
importance to the present seizure. He
attributes it to the advanced age or
the pontiff and TO his refusal to COM
ply with the physicians orders both as
to work and to diet. His holiness, DR..
Petacci declares, says it is impossible
to change his habits even to the extent
of taking a small glass of wine with
his meals. The doctor says, however,
that few days of rest and of dieting
will be sufficient to restore the pope's
health, as aside from the govt he is in
perfect condition.

A correspondent writes the Winni.
peg (Man.) Free Press: The Pinch
or Creek district, (Southern Al
rerta), the original home of fall
wheat, where it has been grown with
out failure, dry seasons and wet, for
about rs years, is %excelling itself this
year. The yield and quality are both
phenomenal, as has been the weather
for it's harvesting. Forty bushels is a
common yield, and many fields go up
to so, 60 and over, and most of it No.
/ Northern. Even last year, which was
less favorable, similar yields were in
some cases obtained, but owing to the
season the quality was not so good. 1t
Is probably safe to say that the aver
age yield from the Old Mans River to
the boundary will be AZ or As bushels
per acre, and mostly No. l Northern.
One man has just made a net profit
from his crop of $19.55 per acre, Or
little less than the selling price Of
land. Land here is too cheap at pres
1t, and a failure almost unknown. Nor
is the district dependent on wheat, all
other crops do we'll, also stock and

at the doors in the mining towns up
the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Co.
