INTERPRETATION EASY
Attorney-oeneraI Says "Alien" in Hun
ter's Law Means NONRESIDENT.

Montpelier, Sept 3.-Through
States Attorney Benjamin Gates of
this city, Acknowledgement ]. G. Sar-
gent has made public his Interpretation
of the hunters license law passed by
the Legislature of 1908, which has oc-
casioned a. great deal of discussion in
regard to the meaning of the word
allen" in the second section. The
ruling of the Encouragement practi-
cally eliminates the word alien from
the law and makes it synonymous
with the word nonresident which is
used in the same section. According
to this ruling any bona fida resident
of Vermont, although he is not natura'
lized, can take out hunters license
for fifty cents instead of SIS, required
of an alien.
Up to tnis evening about 20 hunt
ers' licenses have been taken out in
this city and an equal number In

$4,000 ON ITS
CENTENNIAL
Gift BY Charles H. Morse In
Memory of His Father
SURPRISE TO CONGREGATION
Income to BE Used for Ministerial
Purposes az Long az Present
Greed is Maintained.

st. Johnsbury, Sept. 3.-The big
audience gathered in the Congrega-
tional church at ST. Johnsbury Center
to observe its centennial was furnish
ed with a happy surprise yesterday
when, just after the close of his ad-
dress, Rev. Dr. Edward T. Fairbanks
announced that Charles II. Morse of
Chicago had deposited in the Pas
sumpsic Savings bank bonds and
stocks valued at $4,000 as gift to
the church to be known as the John
Morse memorial fund, in memory of
his father. who was a member The
income is to be used for ministerial
purposes, and the only condition at
tached to the gift is that the church
always shall keep the same creed as
at present. If the creed is changed
or the church discontinued the fund
is to revert to the Morse family.
The Congregational church OF st.
Johnsbury Center is the oldest AMI
only building of any early historical
Importance in the town of St. Johns
bury. 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 gos-
pei, until 1902, the question was
brought up many times and always
decided in the negative. The increas
ing necessity of building for town
business seems to have had consider
able weight in arriving at final &C
ton. September 2, 1902. the call was
issued and September 20 of that year
action was taken. On motion it was
voted to raise $3.50, payable in good
wheat at the market price, for the
purpose of erecting a house for hold
ing town meetings On motion voted
to erect said house on certain

Pierce for the Public use near his
ed to dispose of the floors of the
house to individuals, the avails OF
which to be appropriated in order to
finish said house suitable and con
venent to attend public worship in
and for a Town House. This motion
stood and $50 additional was appro-
priated the next year, but it was not
until 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.

gers in five days after leaving her
