house for holding town meetings. On
motion voted to erect said house on
certain Peace of Land given by Lieut..
Thos. Pierce for the Publick use near
his home in said town. On motion
voted to dispose of the floors of the
house to individuals, the avails of

finish said house Suitable and Conven-
ent to attend Publict worship in and

and $50 additional was appropriated
the next year. but it was not until a
year later that the building was put
up. In the fall of 1903 the great
raising was held and the building
was completed in 1904. For nearly
twenty years this was the only meet
ing house in town and was used for
any and all denominations that want
ed it, though after the formation of
the First congregational church in
1909 this body was the one that sus.
tanned public worship most regularly.
Six men and thirteen women constitu.
ed the original First Congregational
church. For six years the church had
no pastor, and during % years it had
only two years settled pastorates.
In spite of all this, it continued to
grow, and in ten years numbered $50
members, and six years later, in 1925.

TERMS
VERMONT CAPITAL AT HOME.

The Monitor is much pleased at the
discussion for summer hotels in Yer
mont, for no state is better located
and has more natural beautiesto at
tract summer visitors. All natural ad-
vantages for this business, when COM
pared with other eastern states, is
equalled or surpa in Vermont.
This being admittedly true why is the
business elsewhere? There must be
some good reason or reasons and the
only logical solution is that Vermont
has no accommodations, therefore no
summer business.
1t is safe statement to make that
is absolutely certain that one or even
two, large summer hotels IN each
county in Vermont could be filled if
we had the hotel and would advertise.
The building AMI publicity is all that
is needed. Nature affords attractions
in multitude of streams, lakes and
mountains and Vermont is located
midway, as it were. between Boston
and New York city, the two largest
centers of the east. No doubt there
is more summer business emanating
from these two cities than from any
other two cities in the United States
and Vermont with all natural advan-
tages only a few hours from both.
Colonies of people from New York
and points further south traverse the
whole length of Vermont to reach no.
tells in Canada-with all the attendant
customs, bother and embarrassment -
and the writer can enthusiastically
say that there are dozens of places in
this state just as attractive, IT not
more so than the Canadian one In
mind, but-there is no place to stay.
Is there any plausible reason that can
be advanced that tells the Vermont
investor that these people would not
stop in Vermont if they could, and
knew about it? Is there any reason
to believe that one, two or three good
summer hotels in Orleans county coulc
not be made to pay? We have more
lakes and ponds than any other coun-
ty, as many mountains, better fishing
and as good hunting. The air is pure,
the drives and scenery uneXcelled
and no better water in the world. AL
we need is the hotels and publicity
If Brattleboro and ST.. Adams (botf
cities expect to erect big hotels FOL
summer people,, can hope to fill theli
houses, how much easier like hotels
should be filled hereabouts, for the
scenery of this section in the eyes Of
many, surpasses that of the two places
mentioned and this not discountlne
the attractions Of St.Albans and Brat
tleboro.
1t is said by some that certain priv
ileges cannot be given guests in thi:
state that are granted in other states
and this necessarily "kills" Vernon
as summer place. The Monitor doe
not credit this to any great extent al
proof to the contrary is not lacking
Moreover when we have the hotels
and it is shown that the lack of thes'
privileges makes the business un
profitable it will be time for the state
to change its policy.
1t is time Vermont capitalists an,
stock spectators put little none
into their own state on PRACTICAL

St. Johnsbury Center Church Gets
$4,000.

The centennial of the congregational
church at ST. Johnsbury Center was
observed Thursday. At the close of
the historical address by the Rev. Dr..
Edward T. Fairbanks, the speaker an.
nounced, to the surprise of those pres
ent, that Charles H. Morse, of Chica-
go, had deposited in the Passumpsic
Savings Bank stock to the value of
$4,000, to be known as the John
Morse memorial fund. The income
from the fund is to be used for minis.
terial purposes and if at any time
preaching is given up by the church
the money shall revert to the heirs.
This church is the oldest and only
building of any historical Importance
in the town of st. Johnsbury. Between
the year 1894, when it was voted that
the town would not raise money, as
the usage of the time was to pay for
preaching the gospel, and 1902. the
question was brought up many times
and always decided in the negative.
The increasing necessity of building
for town business seems to have had
considerable weight in arriving at fl
nal action. September 2, 1902, the
call was issued and September 20 of
that year action was taken. On mo-
ton it was voted to raise $3.50, paya-

About His Relatives.

Brattleboro, March 20--A letter has
Just been received in Brattleboro from
John Foley of Peoria, Ill, who was sup
pcsed to have been murdered in Chi
cago 20 years ago. 1T was addressed to
Foley's brother, Bartholomew, who died
eight years ago. and it asked for news
of the Foley family. All the Brattle-
boro members of the Foley family are

player more than 25 years ago. After
the Boston National league team won
the championship in 1883 ii played a
series Of exhibition games, one of which
was against the Battleboro nine, with
Foley in the box. He struck out 13 of
the professionals and was the fastest coun
tryman they met on their trip.
The next year Foley joined the Quincy
Ill, club of the Western league. IIe
never returned to this town, but he
was heard from as ball player in var
ious cities. Bartholomew Foley receiv-
ed Chicago papers % years ago giving an
account of the murder Of his brother on
the streets of that city. The relatives
were unsuccessful in their attempts to
get further information.
When Foley disappeared, his parents
Mr., and Mrs. Hugh Foley, who lived on
Frost street, brother and four sis
tcrs were living. The only survivor is
Matilda, wife of John Carney of Athol,
Mass. The news of the supposed muir
der of John Foley never was told to his
parents. The letter gave no information
