FINE PIECE OF WORK.
One Of ID. X. Lilies Carver's Just
Turned Out UNIQUE Monument.

One of the finest pieces of granite
carving which has been produced in
the city in years has just been fin
ished at the D. K Lille shed. A no.
table fact in connection with it is
that it was cut by a workman of
French extraction, named LaClaire,
while it has always been thought that
the Italian and Spanish were the best
craftsmen in this line of work. On
die of dark Barre granite about
three feet square is cut out face,
about an inch and a half deep and
nearly two feet long. Within this de-
preston is cut a figure of Erie rail-
road engine 367 in such detail that
it seems impossible to have modelled
it from stone. The lettering on the
tender and beneath the cab window,
the trucks and springs, headlight,
valve rods, and, in fact, every detail
visible from a side view are repro
duced with fidelity.
The monument will be erected on
the lot of ex-Engineer Ellsworth, who
for 40 years drove engine 367 over
the rails of the Erie road. B. e. Buz-
zell, at Mr.. Lilies request, took a
photograph of the die, which shows
the stone in excellent shape

RECORD FOR CORPS.
Norwich Cadets Surpass All Previ-
yiOus Scores at Targets BY IS
Points.

The past week at Norwich Univer-
sity has been devoted to work at the
school range for the annual tour of
rifle practice as required by the
rules regulating the national guard
of the country and has proven not
only very successful but the corps
has qualified more marksmen, and
with higher percentage, this year
than ever before in the history of the
institution.
The ranges were tended by details
of special guards and the cadets were
tried out at all the different dis
tances. The scores are all the more
remarkable and better appreciated by
an army man because of the fact that
the boys were not given the full al
lowance of ammunition accorded to
other militia bodies for practice and
were expected to make their record
with only a bare sufficiency for the
try out. The scores stand, out of q
total of 1856 shooters, with 81 expert
rifllemen; IS sharp shooters and 100
marksmen. All but IS of the men in
school attained mark of marksmau
which makes very high figure for
the corps in fact it is Is points higher
than it ever was before. Captain Les
lie I. A. Chapman, the commandant OF
the institution, said that the result OF
this years shoot, his last at Nor
witch is highly satisfactory and that
he is greatly pleased with the way the
cadets took hold of the affair.

BARRE NEWS
BURGLARIZED FRUIT STORE.
United Fruit COmpany's Store Broken
Into by Thieves Who Got Cash and

Cigars.
Some time during Saturday night
or Sunday morning a thief effected
an entrance into the entrance of the
United Fruit Company's store, and
secured a quantity of small change
from a cash register which they for
ced open with the aid of screw dri-
yer or some other sharp tool. En-
trance was gained to the lower piaz-
"a on the rear from which the bur-
glar climbed to an upper piazza
which is always piled high with re-
fuse. The door leading to this piaz-
"a was unlocked so that the thief
had no difficulty in getting in 1t is
thought that he made a hasty exit
for some reason as the floor leading
to the door was strewn with cigars
and cigarettes.
Except for the presence of two
strangers in the store Sunday, who
were caught making a casual inspec-
ton of the int ior, there is no clue
as to who committed the burglary.
Another wouIl-be pad man who at
tempted to entcr the Woolworth Five
and Ten Cent NE in the new How
land block fou / himself foiled. The
entrance was attempted by cutting a
hole near the lock in the rear door
Apparently it vas the thiefs inten-
ton to insert kis hand into the hole
and turn the key, or catch lock, which

SEMINARY TO Build
Trustees Propose to Spend
Over $125,0O0 on New
Structures
MEETING HELD TUESDAY

Plans Were Submitted and While
Amount Mentioned Represents Es-
] timated Total the proposition Calls
For Erection of Buildings on the
Installment Plan.
Plans for prospective buildings for
Montpelier Seminary were submitted
Tuesday afternoon by Architect
Frank A. Walker Of this city to men,
bers of the board of trustees of that
institution for their approval and it
was estimated that as they were well
received a movement would be start
ed shortly for the raising of sufficient
money to carry them OUT. The plans
were drawn by Mr.. Walker at the re-
ques of the board OF trustees, who
erection of new dormitories for the
students and faculty of the Semin-
airy, the present wooden ones being
entirely inadequate for present day
demands
The meeting was called on Tuesday
afternoon in the office of Judge Err
win M Harvey, member of the
board of trustees and a prominent
worker in behalf of Montpelier Sem
mary. Mr.. Walkers prospectus for
the new buildings were explained and
the plans by which 1t is hoped to raise
a sufficient fund for their erection
talked over. They are three in num-
Der, two approximately 100 feet in
length and the other about half that
size The site for the buildings will
be the present location and by
the proposed plan they will
be built one at a time, so that neither
the students nor the curriculum will
be put out any while they are being
put up. Mr.. Walkers plans are along
the latest lines of school construction
for private school billings which per-
mits the construction of one section
at time. To do this one of the pres
ent wooden buildings would be torn
modernly equipped structure, put up.
Then as the trustees saw fit the other
buildings of similar design would be
built and finally the middle building
of the group.
The plans are to have the middle
building faculty house, chapel, au-
Iditorium and recitation rooms. The
! two end buildings will be dormitories
for both girls and boys and capable
, of accommodating 100 in all That
is one dormitory, it is expected, will
!; hold so boys, while the other will be
, for that number of girls. The brick
building on the campus at the pres
ent time will serve as rooms for school
purposes.
One of the trustees said yesterday
that the new buildings would cost
between $125,OO0 and $15O,0OO, but
that they would be erected in Sec
tions, and nothing like that amount
would be necessary to assure start
The plans for the raising of this
amount have not been made known
but it is presumed that it will be
from among the alumni and friends
, of the institution in the form of con.
tributons. The building scheme
calls for the most up-to-date, mod
ern, as well as INTELLECTUALLY beau.

Weights and Measures.

We earnestly recommend to the
General Assembly such amendment of
existing laws as will not only make
the standard of weights and measures
in use in Vermont uniform with
standard maintained by the national
Government, but that will invoke suf-
ficient police power to protect the
people of this State from the frauds
and deceits in merchandising and
trade caused by short weights, I'M
dersized measures and packages, and
similar dishonest devices.

Is perhas the gravest and most threat
ening problem of our material life at
this time. Vermont should offer lib
eral provisions under the tax law
and otherwise as an inducement to
forest planting and forest culture AMI
at the same time should so regulate
utilization of forests as
best to protect the public interest de-
pendent upon them We be-
lieve that the present policy here in
Vermont should be amplified to ex-
tend throughout the State opportu-
mites for State forest reserves and
the localized object lessons in practi-
cal forestry they afford, and that laws
should be enacted tending so to hus-
band the natural water power and
encourage and safeguard its develop
ment as to promote the widest pos
sible distribution Of the resultant
economic benefits among our own
people in preference to an outside
ownership that may simply seek to
divert power originating in Ver-
mont to uses beyond its borders.
The Liquor Law.
Abating no part of our frequently
expressed belief that the manifold and
widespread evils resulting from in
in the use of alcoholic Ii
quors demand that the traffic in
strong drink shall be restricted by
the most salutary laws vigorously ad
ministered, we believe the local
option principle should be retained
as the basis and policy of the law I'M
til in the process of time and i'm
provement of all governmental insti-
tutions some better law may be de-
vised and substituted.
Public Servants.
We cordially record our apprecia-
ton of the faithful and efficient SER
vices of the Senators and Represen-
tatives of Vermont in the Congress
of the United States.
Under the administration of Gov.
George H. Prouty during the current
biennial term the dignity of the COM
monwealth has been highly sustained
upon occasions of important pubic
consequence, while the every day ma
terial and social interests of the peo-
pie under the laws have been faith
fully and wisely conserved by the
chief executive and his associates in
office. We are proud to record that
with the Republican party in power
and responsible the details of the
State government in all it's depart
ments never were conducted with
more business-like system, fidelity
and dispatch than the1 are today.
Conclusion.
Upon this platform we confidently
appeal to the approval and endorse
ment of the freemen of Vermont al
the polls and we commend to the
loyal support of Republican voters
and all their fellow citizens that de-
sire the best of good government for
the commonwealth the candidates for
State officers this day nominated.
