paid fire department.
Robert Roberts, who served two terms
as mayor of Burlington some years ago,
went into Office again by a margin of
S46 votes over the present incumbent,
James E. Burke. Mr. Roberts ran on
the Citizens ticket, while Burke ran as
a Democrat. The latter has been a can

already made five unsuccessful attempts
to reach the mayors chair, was again
defeated, his successful opponent this

last year was very small was this year
the largest in the history of the city.

mayor.

FRED w. WooDcock ELECTED.
ported for School Committeeman by
Women Of Winthrop. Mass.

The activity of the women voters was
the principal feature of the annual town
meeting in Winthrop, Mass, Monday.
Their interest was centred in the contest
for school committee, which resulted in
the election of Fred W. Woodcock, we'll
known as a baseball coach, over William
f. Orcutt, a Boston lawyer The vote
stood Woodcock 1876. Orcutt 43S. Wood
cock ran as an Independent candidate,
while Orcutt was the candidate on the
United Citizens ticket, which was made
up of the Citizens Civic league and the
town government association. All Of the
candidates on the United Citizens ticket
We're elected with but two exceptions.
The women of Winthrop objected to Mr..
Orcutt for the reason that his children
are not sent to the public schools, but
are taught at home. Mr. Woodcock has
two children in the schools and is very
popular with the young people, owing,
doubtless, to his active interest in ath-
letics as well as in the school work in
general. The cards circulated in Win
throp in behalf of Mr.. Woodcock's candi-
dacy read as follows; For School Com
mittee, Fred w. Woodcock. Graduated
from Cushing academy 1887, Brown uni
versity Ca b 1891, teacher of expert
ence trustee of Cushing academy. sue
cessful business man, scholarly and pro-
gressive, in harmony with modern meth

MORE THAN s25, 1000 FOR MILEAGE.

E. H. Deavitt state treasurer, in
answer to an inquiry propounded by the
Bellows Falls Times. states that the cost
of the legislature of 191o-11 for 81 days
was s143,595. 65 and for the Legislature of
19OS-O9 for 80 days $134,57S.9S. BY voting
mileage for themselves to and from the
capital for Thanksgiving and Christmas
recesses the legislators brought the total
bill for mileage up to s25,69S.60 The
special commission authorized by joint
resolution in the last Legislature to in
vestgate the subject of mileage and re-
port at the next session Of the general
assembly, will undoubtedly present plan
which will cut off the mileage grab in
the future. Excessive mileage charges
should be relegated to the cabinet of fos-
sls. alongside the once pernicious but
popular fee system. The legislators
should be allowed the actual expenses of
transportation and nothing more in the
way of mileage payments.

The Great Comedy Hit "seven Days"
Coming March is.

Seven Days is all fun. 1t is too
funny to be told but it is vastly funny
to behold" There, direct and to the
point, is the New York Journals descrip-
ton of the comedy by Mary Roberts
Rnohart and Avery Hopwood that is
coming to the Auditorium Wednesday
evening, March 10. Seven Days" is a
scream from the first minute the curtain
the audience goes out of the theatre
laughing, and laughs for many day
afterwards at the thought OF the fun in
the play, The wit and sparkle and
gayety OF this comedy get into the sys-
TEN and keep breaking out in bursts Of
laughter. One recalls something said or
done in Seven Days" and is convulsed
with merriment. You start to tell It to
somebody and away you go into roaring
hysteria. This is not an exaggeration,
either. "Seven Days" is the funniest
play in a score OF years. Everybody
says so. critics and public alike. 1t must
be away ahead OF other comedies or IT
couldn't have run its second year in New
York and stayed six months in Chicago
That record speaks for itself Seven
Days" ran straight through last summer
at the Astor theatre on Broadway, and is
the only comedy that has ever done so.
Messrs. Wagenhals & Kemper are sending
this play here with a talented New York
company and a rich production, These
managers are noted both for the quality
of their plays and the manner in which
they stage them. Therefore Seven
Days" promises the laughing treat OF the
season.

HOSPITAL UNDER QUARANTINE.
Three Nurses and Two Patients III with
Diphthera--No Serious Results Antici-
pated-Bulletin Issued.


An additional outbreak of diphtheria in
the Brattleboro Memorial hospital Sun
day morning resulted in placing the in
stitution under strict quarantine that day,
and since then, with the exception of
one man who was injured in a railroad
accident. no patient has been admitted
and no visitors have been allowed. Pre-
vious to Sunday there were three cases
of diphtheria in the isolation building,
but no further trouble was expected, but
on Sunday morning a nurse and pa
tent became i'll with the disease and
the medical board at once decided to put
the hospital under quarantine, by advice
of the board of health, and issued the
following bulletin:
LAS two new cases of diphtheria have
developed today at the Bratteboro Me-
mortal hospital, making a total of FIVE
the medical board, on advice of the board
of health, deem it advisable not to ad-
init patients or visitors for the present
Bulletins will be issued frequently by the
medical board, and the hospital author
tiles will be glad to answer inquiries at
any time.
"(Signed) MEDICAL BOARD,
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital"
There are % patients in the hospital,
and doubtless some have been exposed to
the disease but the superintendent, Miss
Mary f. Schumacher, and the medical
board do not anticipate serious trouble.
No new cases have developed since Sun
day. but it would not be surprising IL
others showed signs of the disease with
in few days. The wards and rooms
have been dsinfected thoroughly and
every step possible has been taken to in
sure the safety of all persons there.
A short time ago Edwin f. Kendall OF
Forest street had diphtheria and was
quarantined until cultures from his throat
showed negative results, Later he was
taken to the hospital for treatment for
something else and an abscess developed
on his neck. which was lanced. Soon ar
terwards his nurse, Miss Myrtle Derosia,
became i'll with diphtheria and for a time
her condition was critical. Miss Jennie
Dean, the nurse who cared for Miss De-
rosia, contracted the disease. Meanwhile
Mr., Kendall was discharged.
Last week Mrs. Fred c. Cressy con-
tracted diphtheria outside the hospital
and was taken to the isolation building,
where the two nurses previously had
gone On Sunday morning Miss Grace
Randall, a nurse, and Mrs. Elton Will
lams, a patient, developed the disease,
and they were isolated also Mrs Will
lams was In a ward with six others.
None of the cases are considered severe.

tory of Brattleboro. All the Protestant
churches of this village and West Brattle-
boro have organized to carry on a cam
paign for civic uplift and betterment that
is entirely new in this part of the
country, and the town of Brattleboro will
be watched closely by other municipali-

tional church has been engaged to ad-
dress a series of meetings for the boys

heard at the banquet given several weeks
ago by G. L. Durham to the Brother
hood of the Centre church. and 1t is ex-
pected that every meeting will be attend
ed by as many persons as can crowd in
to the Auditorium. The subjects of Mr..
Dyer's talks are not known here, but his
ability is well known and every one OF
his addresses will be of an uplifting
character. He has never spoken for a
series of meetings of this kind and has
tleboro only after serious consideration.
In the meeting Wednesday evening Of
hcers were elected and committees an
pointed for the campaign. Besides an
executive committee consisting of the
general officers, chairmen of the COM
mittees and the ministers of the town

A NEEDED COURT REFORM.

The bill passed by Congress which
provides that no federal court shall set
aside verdict for error In pleading or
procedure unless in the opinion of the
court lit shall appear that the error COM
planned of has injuriously affected the
substantial rights of the parties" marks
the beginning of a reform that is sadly
needed. When the same principle is ap-
piled to the state courts there will be
less talk of the delay of the law, or of
the difficulty of the poor litigant in OBJ
tanning judgment against a wealthy per-
son or corporation with skilled lawyers
to take advantage of fine-spun technical
tiles in setting aside a verdict This
reform has been urged by President Taft
and by many of the bar associations of
the country.

ANOTHER RAILROAD COUP.
Boston & Maine Interests Acquire Mont
peIier & Wells River and Barre Rail-
roads

peller WellS RIVER ana Barre Kali
roads.
Persons acting in the interest Of the
Vermont Valley Railroad company, have
bought the interest of the Sortwell estate
in the Montpelier and Wells River rail-
road, the Barre railroad, and the Barre
railway"
This announcement was made Tuesday
from the offices of the New Haven rail-
road
1t Is further stated that as soon as the
legal preliminaries can be arranged, the
properties will become a part of the Bos-
ton and Maine railway system.
The announcement OF this purchase
and it's projected merger with the Boston
and Maine. discloses a new step taken
by the New Haven in its contest against
the Grand Trunk. This newly acquired
line reaches from Wells River to Mont
pelier, with branches to Barre and to one
or two other points, the whole including
about 60 miles OF road.
The line was opened in 1878 and OF late
years, excepting in one year, has paid
five per cent upon its stock OF $500, 900.
At Wells River It connectes with the
Boston and Maine and at Montpelier with
the Vermont Central, which is leased to
the Grand Trunk. 1t Is understood to
have been valuable feeder to the Grand
Trunk system, particularly in connection
with the Barre quaTies.

New York, Aug. 7.-After a fairly
strong opening. the market was again
subjected to selling pressure to-day, and
some Of the active shares sold lower than
at the low prices last week, but it was
not long before the decline ceased, and
ket became stronger and stronger, until
in the last quarter hour the tone was
fairly cheerful
For the time being the liquidation
which helped to depress prices last week
ceased, and since a great amount of
short selling accompanied the decline
last week, the covering of short con-
tracts nearly produced higher prices.
The more conspicuous gains were made
in standard railroad shares, such as
Atchison, Great Northern, Northern Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific,
and among the industrials in Amalga-
mated Copper. General Electric. and
American Beet Sugar.
The whole nature OF the market was
much Calmer than in the closing days
last week, with the trading at a slower
pace and less excited. and with price
movement normal as compared with the
erratic action Saturday. The morning
mail in the commission houses brought
no great amount of buying orders, but
no great amount of new buying was stim-
ulated by the decline. 1t was evident
that holders of stocks were no longer
