Popular Arlington Couple United
Near New York State Line

Charles H. Woodland and Anna
Maude johnson, a popular young cou-
pie residing in Arlington were made
man and wife last week Wednesday
under unique circumstances. Accom-
panied by Guy Twitchell, Miss Maude
Iwitcnell, Edith Johnson and Arthur
Johnson, the young couple drove to
the parsonage of Rev. w C. Newell at
White Creek in the afternoon for the
ceremony. Upon their arrival they
learned that inasmuch as their certi-
hcate had been made out by the town
clerk in Arlington in the state of YER
mont the clergyman would be unable
10 perform the ceremony in New York.
1t was suggested That the entire
party make journey across the Yer
mont state line so that the marriage
could be solemnized in the jurisdiction
OF the state under which the license
was issued. 1t was only half a mile
distant to one of the stone markers
defining the boundary and at this
point in the glories of a June after
noon the couple were united.
Mr. and Mrs. Woodland are both we'll
known in Arlington where a most of
friends will wish them every bapni.
ness.

STARS OF COHOES
JUST ESCAPED
A SHUTOUT
Good Game of Ball at Morgan
Park Saturday
SCORED IN LAST INNING
Pitcher Sauter Too Eager to Stop a
Ground Hit and Two Runners
Tailed

II Pitcher Sauter nad not been
quite so anxious to do all the work
ne would have probably have retired
the Stars of Cohoes without run in
the game Saturday afternoon at Nor
gan Park. Sauter was in good form,
his control was excellent and he had
been so sure on ground hits during
the previous eight innings that he
went after a bounder that should
have gone to Shortstop Bonanski.
He interfered with the ball just
enough to hamper Bohanski and run
ners on second and third scored.
1t was a prettily played game. TWO
in-field errors were the only misplay
credited to the home team and out
side of the four wild throws by Pit
cher Vanderplank and two by Catch
er Shultz the visitors had but one
error against them. Shultz had his
wing with him. He is an awkward
thrower but he was fast and accurate
and every Bennington runner who at
tempted to steal second was nailed.
The game was a good one to watch
for the reason that only once did a
member of the home team strike out.
Every man up nit the ball somewhere
and the game was active when Ben
nington was at bat The Stars could
do nothing with Sauter and he hung
up" eight of them while of the five
singles only once did two of them
come in the same inning and then in
the last when tAe game had been put
away in the refrigerator.
Prindle, Watson, King and O'Meara
each got two hits OFF Vanderplank
and one of O'Meara's was good for
two sacks. Prindle's running catch in
deep center field was the single fea-
ture of the game.
Bennington didn't score until the
second inning when hit and base
on balls mixed with three bad throws
by the visiting battery Melted cou-
pie. During the next five innings Ben
nington made three hits and Wander
plank got in another wild throw over
first base but there were no scores for
the reason that ShultZ never allowed
a runner to reach second. He caught
King going to third in the seventh and
spoiled a good opening for a run.
OMeara opened the eighth with a
two sacker. He was neatly sacrificed
to third by Sauter Another one of
Vanderplank's wild heaves over first
gave Waters a life and scored o.
Meara Prindle got a hit but was a
victim of Shultz's strong arm going to
second. Two more hits and more or
Mr.. Vanderplank's inability to find
first base with the ball resulted in two
more talles. The score:

MOUNTAIN MILLS
At WILMINGTON
DESTROYED
Mills Burned For Second Time
Within Few Months
LOSS is ABOUT $4,000
over Thirty Men Thrown Out Of Work
and Millions Of Feet of Logs Left
UnsaWed

Wilmington, June 1.-THE Noun
tain Mills, one miles west OF this vii
lage were burned last Saturday night
entailing loss of nearly $4,000 and
throwing 40 men out of work.
This is the second time the mills
have been destroyed by fire, the first
being nearly a year ago when the
mills and two or three dwelling houses
and large amount of other property
were burned with loss of over $751;
600.
The mills were rebuilt tnis spring
and had started operations only a
short time ago. The sawed lumber
was saved. How the fire caught is
not positively known.
The fire started about 10 O'Clock
near the boilers and spread rapidly to
the mills. Help came from Whining
ton but nothing could be done except
to keep the fire from the houses just
east of the mills.
There is in the yard and pond sew
eral million feet of logs. being large
part of last years cut and all that OF
this year which was unusually large.
The mills will be rebuilt at once to
saw these logs.
The property Is owned by the Deer
field River company which owns the
railroad and large amount of timber
land in Wilmington, Readsboro, Sears
burg, Somerset and Stratton. There
was only very small insurance on
the property.

HoNoRs FOR HAZEL MCLEOD
Takes High Rank at Middlebury Col
lege From Which She Graduates

Word comes from Middlebury col
lege that Miss Hazel Mcleod. a grad
uate of the Bennington high school in
the class of 1906, has been appointed
a member of the Phi Beta Kappa so
ciety. This is an honorary society es-
tablished in the colleges for those who
have maintained very high standard
of scholarship throughout their col
lege course.
Miss Mcleod is one of three girls
of the senior class to attain this hon
or With the single exception of lead
ing her class. tnis is the highest hon
or she could have attained at college
and is the best record so far made by
"A Bennington student at Middlebury.
Besides maintaining this high stan
dard, Miss Mcleod has been reader
for the girls glee club. president OF
her fraternity, president of the Y. w.
C. A. and a leader generally in the col
lege life Her friends feel sure that
this is but the beginning of success
full life's work.
The attainment of tne same honor
by Fred Myers at Williams and Louis
Puffer at Troy makes three from the
class of 1905 who were honor students
at the high school and have kept their
record good in college. The next year
or two will add more to this honor
list.
All this goes to prove that the Ben
nington high school can produce as
good results as any high school of its
size 1t is both unjust and unreason-
able to expect il to compete with the
large city high schools or with those
fitting schools which devote their
whole time and energy to college pre-
paratory work. The local high school
has broader duty to fulfill and should
and is striving just as far as circum-
stances will permit TO become the col
lege Of the mass of common people
and at the same time prepare for fur
Their work the smaller number found
in every high school who go on to
more advanced study.

JAIL PRISONERS
RESP ONSIBLE
FOR DEFICIT
Their Care Used Up Funds In
Justice Department
AUD. GRAHAM's STATEMENT
An Increase of s2s, 4s4.ss over 1907
Will Pay No More
Claims

Montpelier, June 1.-THE following
statement regarding the reported
shortage in the appropriation for the
state department of justice for the fis-
cal year ending July 1, has been made
public by State Auditor Hoiace +.
Graham:
THE appropriations for the admin
istration of justice, Section 8, of No.
16 of the Acts OF 1906 and Section IL
of No. 16 of the Acts of 1908, have
been exhausted and there is, there
fore no money available to meet
claims payable from this appropria-
ton. This of course only applies to
those claims that did not reach me
until after the appropriations were ex-
hausted.
"The chief cause OF this deficiency
is the great increase In the expense
of supporting prisoners In jails. For
the year ending June 80. 1907, the ex-
pense of maintaining the jails was
$16.70S.17. For the year ending June
80, 1909, already paid and carefully es-
timated it will be $46.193.16 or an in
crease of $29.48499.
Section of No. 200 of the Acts Of
1906. and section l of No. 176 of the
act of 1908, and the holding Of the
supreme court in re Sammon 79 VT.
and in re Bowers 80 vt. has crowded
the jails with prisoners. The fact
that it has not been found possible to
find work for these prisoners except
in few instances has made the coun-
ty jails place of refuge for a large
number of tramps. Had the jail ex-
pense remained the same as for the
year 1907 l am certain that there
would have been no deficiency.
"As the constitution prohibits the
withdrawal of money from the treas
ury unless appropriated by act of the
Legislature, no other course was open
to me but to decline to pay any more
claims, the payment Of which Is pro-
vided for by the appropriations for the
administration of justice. There Is
some $125,000 now in the treasury that
could be used for this purpose, but as
| 1t has not been so set aside 1t cannot
be so used.
Il expect arrangements have been
made by which such claims as are due
or will become due before July first
next can be now taken up"
