new HOTEL PLAN
New Committee of Commercial Club
VIII Try to Raise Money o Build
Modern Structure.

The new hotel project in St. Johns
bury is not dead but has been turned
over to a new committee of the Com
mercial club which will try to find
out how much money can be raised
to build new structure entirely
The first committee spent lot of
time and effort in trying to evolve
some scheme that would not require
too large sum of money but every
thing they investigated called for a
large amount of money. The new
committee is composed of DR.. w. j.
Aldrich DR.. J. M. Allen and H. w.
Randall. 1t is probable a public
meeting will be called in the near
future to discuss the matter.
The secretary of the club is try
ing to secure the services of the
Rev. G. R. Dodge to make a canvass
of the town and see how much mon
ey can be pledged for the project.
The executive committee has de-
cided to change the time of it's
weekly meetings from Thursday
evening to Wednesday noon and
the meeting this week will be this
noon.

Ideas, one of which is that the hand
somer and costlier the books the
less will they be injured by the bor-
rover. Whatever the theory or the
working of it may have been forty
years ago, the aspect of the library
mas entirely changed as the practical
uses of it have been more fully de-
VeIoped. Books today are not so
pleasing to the eye but they are in
Ireer circulation and every one has
the privilege of entertaining himself
at will amongst them, whereas at
nrst no book could be taken from the
shelf except by the attendant,

IN MUNICIPAL COURT.
Many Criminal Cases Disposed of
by Judge Porter Yesterday At

There was quite clean up of
criminal business in Municipal
court yesterday afternoon. Judge
Porter returned from Lyndonville at
noon and States Attorney Simonds

he is to hear chancery case, but
between those hours criminal busi-
ness was lively.

from three and one half to four
months in Jail.
John Doe, alias Charles Sweeney,
who visited the house of Joseph Ash
ton some time ago, and went to bed
while the family was out, was ar

At The Fish Hatchery.

The vacancies caused at the gov
ernment fish hatchery by the double
tragedy week ago last Sunday, have
not been filled. J. P. Snyder, gov
ernment fish culturist at large, has
been sent here from Montana to as
sist temporarily and P. M. Atkin-
son who has been doing field work
collecting trout eggs has come back
to the station to work. He brought
the first shipment of eyed trout eggs
last Saturday from the hatchery es-
tablished years ago by Commissioner
Titcomb in Groton on what is now
Mr.. VaiPs preserve. This is a small
station located just below stJumbo
Spring" q A three inch pipe will not
take all the water from this spring
and it makes a fine hatchery. This
season 100000 trout eggs were tax
en- from the trout in Speedwell Pond,
formerly the Darling Pond to be
kept until they have reached the
eyed stage. A certain proportion
of the young trout will be returned
to the pond but the government will
have a large number for distribution
in other waters.

NEW RAILROAD MEN.
Engineer Sherwin and Corps of As
sistants Stationed Here.

Among the changes which a Wis
itor to the railroad station would no
tice are those in the office of the di-
vision engineer where F. A. Sherwin
of Springfield, Mass, is now in
charge. Mr.. Sherwin has a strong
corps of assistants, John Durgin, c.
A. Marcille and Charles Hoyt, all of
whom came with him from Spring
field. c. H. Watson, who has been
roadmaster for the Montpelier and
Wells River road with headquarters
at Montpelier is assistant engineer.
The division now includes the Bos-
ton and Maine from Springfield to
Sherbrooke, the ST. Johnsbury and
Lake Champlain, the Montpelier and
Wells River and White Mountain di-
vision of the Boston and Maine
north of Woodsville, so large force
is required to do the work. Mr..
Sherwin will not move his family
here from Springfield at present; Mr..
Watson will move here as soon as
Mrs. Watson is able; Mr.. Durgin and
wife and Mr.. Marcille and his moth
er and sister will occupy tenments on
Hooker hill.

ST. JOHNSBURY ATHENK KUM
FORTY YEARS.

On the 9th day of November,
1871, forty years ago next Monday,
the Athenaeum was opened and
formally presented to the town by
Mr.. Horace Fairbanks. This fortieth
anniversary suggests few remin-
scenes.
Those of us who were living here
at the time will recall the deep and
wide spread interest that eliminated
in that event. There was reason for
this, for it was the Inauguration of
a new order of things. AT that time
there was not town library in this
part of the state, nor was there any
where in Vermont a public library
with provision for it's perpetual
maintenance, or with a building so
costly and well equipped. In a true
sense the ST. Johnsbury Athenaeum
had the distinction of being a pion-
eer in it's field. The first of an hon
orable line of similar institutions
aiming to provide adequate library
facilities for every community 1t
antedated the Carnegie era by some
thing like a quarter of century.
The building was three years in
process of erection; it's designer was
Architect Hatch of New York. Lam
bert Packard was the builder; the
site had been skilfully secured and
better one could not have been
found. Four months were spent in
classifying and installing the books,
about 5000 in number to begin with.
This was done under thesuperintend-
ence of Rev. w. w. Thayer, who was
librarian for the first ten years, whose
critical judgment, exact and orderly
system shaped the running affairs of
the institution. The selection of
books had been with the advice of
w. F. Poole, the photographer, and
large proportion of them in superior
bindings were imported from Lon
don. At that date American book
binding had not reached it's present
standard. A correspondent of the
Springfield Republican the following
year remarked: ''These books are as
judiciously selected, as costly and as
bound as can be found
in any gentleman's private co1lec-
ton. With their bright colors and
gliding they give splendor to the
book shelves which I venture to say
cannot be seen in any public library
in the country. The founder of this
library, who gives the free use of it
to the town, retaining it's MANAGE
