ENDOWMENT FUND
IS BEING RAISED
RAPIDLY
Bennington Center Association
May Raise $4,000
OLIN SCOTT PLEDGES $500
improvements to be Made Along High
way and North Terrace and En-
trance With Money In Treasury

At the recent meeting of the Ben
nington Center Cemetery association
! the committee chosen in 1868 to sol
| icit an endowment fund reported that
subscription paper had been drafted
and that the prospects for large
| fund were very promising. Col. Olin
Scott, one of Bennington's most public
spirited citizens, has already sub
scribed $500, provided $4,000 are rails
ed. The committee believe that &c.,
900 can be raised which insures that
the pledge of Mr.. Scott will be accep-
ted.
The committee who will have the
raising of this fund in hand consists
of Rev. Isaac Jennings, d. D., chair
man, James G. Colgate, s. B. Hall and
George NJ. Hawks.
The report of the treasurer, George
+. Graves, showed a balance of $50
in the treasury and $3.50 due on ac-
count OF dues and care of lots. The
association was incorporated In 1908
and has a membership of SO.
Since tae treasurer's report show
ed some funds on hand 1t was thought
best to do something in the line of
permanent Improvement to the GENE
terry. An effort will be made to in
duce the voters of Bennington Center
at their. annual meeting next month
to put In cobblestone gutter between
the highway and the north terrace OF
the cemetery. If this is done the as
sociation proposes to re-terrace the
north bank and change its grade and
that of the north entrance to the GEM
etery. The bank is SO high and the
road so narrow at present at this en-
trance that vehicles on the main
highway are INSTRUCTED from view,
no matter in what direction they are
travelling. This condition of affairs
may some day be the cause of SER
4ous accident and it is proposed that
change should soon be made.
The clerk, George NJ, Hawks, pres
ented to the meeting d complete In
dex of all persons buried In the GEM
etery with dates of their death. This
report covers the old portion of the
cemetery as well as the new and will
be of great interest as historical
reference work.
E. S. Buss has been superintendent
of the cemetery this year and his
work has met with universal salts
faction. The general appearance OF
the cemetery this season was a mark
ed improvement over former years.

Paris, Sept IA high parsonage
in touch with previous preliminary ar
engagements regarding the marriage of
the Duke of the AbruZzi and Kat1-
crime Elkins that contrary to the pop
ular impression, the real hitch was
not due to objections by the Italian
royal family, but to the attitude of
Miss Elkins herself.
IF Miss Elkins would accept the
duke" said this authority, " no obsta-
Gle would be placed in the way of the
marriage by his family | know that
the King and the royal family have
offered to grant their consent not to
an morganatic union, but to mar
rage which would include the priyil-
eyes and rank for Miss Elkins to
which the duke is entitled.
The Queen Mother, perhaps, was
not pleased with the prospect of the
duke-contracting a union with an Am
erican, but her objections would have
been withdrawn The dukes fate
rests with Miss Elkins herself. If she
should say the word, the duke would
be at her side tomorrow, and the mar
riage would not long be delayed

full extent of the body will not
be learned for some time.
NORTHERN PACIFIC--In
view of the re-opening of the
Success mine a force Of about 80
men has been set to work putting
the Nine Mile branch of the rail-

ty is located on Nine Mile and it
