BETTER UNDER No-LIcENsE.
Declared Judge Scott In Discussing Barre
Local Option.

The regular monthly meeting of the
brotherhood OF the Congregational
church was held last evening. An un-
usual departure from meetings held IN
the past was an oyster supper served
in the vestry at $50 o'clock, followed
by informal after-dinner exercises Near
ly fifty men, members and invited guests
of the brotherhood sat down to the sup
per, which had been prepared entirely
BY men. A detail from the boy scouts
of the church acted as walters
The supper finished. the company
withdrew to the parlors of the churchs
II. A. Witham presided and first called
upon the guest OF the evening, City
Judge II. William Scott, for remarks
In the speech which followed Judge
Scott dealt chiefly with the license ques-
tion, subject of paramount interest
since the issue will be presented before
the voters at the March meeting only
few weeks ago. The speaker
compared conditions which prevailed dur
ing Barre's license years, with those
at the present time. The number of
arrests for intoxication he said, was
much larger during the former period
than now. The money received by the
city in license fees hardly equals the
large amount necessarily diverted from
local channels when quantities OF liquor
are legally sold and consumed.
In closing, the speaking expressed
belief that an emphatic no vote this
year would represent the best interests
OF every voter in Barre. Rev. Perrin
b. Fiske of Montpelier, formerly pastor
Of the Congregational church in Plain
field, followed on the program with a
description OF the brotherhood work in
Bethany church in Montpelier. Both
speakers were enthusiastically applaud
ed at the conclusion Of their remarks.
During the course Of the evening,
letter was read from Rev F. A. Poole
of Worcester, Mass. former pastor
of the local church. In the letter Mr.
Poole congratulated the men OF the
church on starting the movement and
told Of the possibilities of well or
ganized brotherhood. The affair came
to a close at $50 o'clock with the sing
ing Of brotherhood hymn, w. II. Mes
ser acting as accompanist at the piano.
The committee having the supper and
of the program in charge
was as follows: n 4. Phelps, Guy Var
mum, Walter Boutwell,, Archie Taft,
Perley Witham and AFRO Noyes.

Lost on Lake champlain.

r. Z. Houghton OF Isle La Motto
his daughter, Beatrice, and Miss Buck
sey, one of the Swanton high school
teachers. had a thrilling experience Fri
day night. Mr.. Houghton went to Al
burg 70 meet the 1880 train to get his
daughter and lady friend Upon their
return they took the ice near the old
brick school house The south wind
began blowing early in the evening and
increased with great rapidity, and with
abuot one foot Of light snow it soon
became impossible to see land in any
direction. Soon it was evident that they
were lost ON the lake in terrible biz
zard.
After driving for long time in hope
Of reaching land somewhere Mr. Hough-
ton thought il best to unhitch his horses
aud make themselves as comfortabeas
possible with robes and blankets. and
remain where they were until daylight
IN the meantime, Mrs. Houghton had
telephoned to Alburg and had learned
that undoubtedly the party had taken
the ice and were lost on the lake She
then telephoned light keeper ". F. Hill
aud had the light put up in the tow
cr. AT different times through the
night Mr.. Houghton and the young wom-
en- saw the light and realized what It
was, but owing to the snow squalls
which shut out the light from view they
did not dare start out until daylight.
They then discovered that they were
south at Point au Fer. near the
New York side. They then started

Property Loss In Last Nights Fire Was
S5oo,ooo. Carl Mcpherson, Work
man, Was Terribly Burned
BY Sulphuric Acid

Point Richmond, Calf, Feb. sA fire
which was caused by blazing SCOT from
the chimney falling on the roof of the
sulphuric acid plant OF the Standard Oil
company here destroyed that plant, a
tank containing 100000 gallons of crude
oil and damaged other parts of the
$l,000000 plant last night. The total
damage is estimated at 100000.
Carl Mcpherson, workman employed
in the plant, fell into a didtch filled
with sulphuric acid, during the progress
of the fire, and he was terribly burned.
The great spread Of the flames was due
to the explosion OF gas in the acid tank,
the blazing liquid being hurled all over
the plant and making the work OF
fighting the flames very difficult.

That New State House.

The always vie Jrous and enthusiastic
Vergennes Vermolter and Enterprise re-
turns to its proposed project OF erecting
State House ii Burlington Its con
cern over the unhealthy location of the
present capitol is undoubtedly very
touching" although probably not
enough so to reach the pocketbooks OF
the taxpayers.
It tells The News that it must not
attempt to rid,cule the proposition for
the matter is very serious. The News
will try to remember this solemn ad-
monition; but if its memory should by
some nishap lapse in this vital matter
it viii say here and now that it is will
ing to be forgiven
The Nergennes contemporary contends
that its estimate Of new building Is
correct when il said that it coulR be
built for very little more cost to the
state than the proposed S250,000 for an
annex to the present State House.
Without further information it is fair
to assume that the editor Of the Enter
prise purposes to pay the other three
quarters Of a million dollars out OF his
own pocket. Daniel Webster once of
fered to pay the national debt and have
the dashed thing out Of the way.
The contemporary conclusion that
The News has principals for whom it
speaks" in this matter is as entirely
wrong as it would be to say that the
Vergennes contemporary is trying TO
cater to interests in Burlington-per-
haps even more so.
But the neighbor does not explain
why it is so anxious to get the legisla
ture out of the present capitol which
il calls a death trap" and then put
the supreme court and possibly CEN
trail normal school into this same build
ing.
II would also leave the state library
in its present quarters, but this is prob
ably as matter Of convenience. All
a legislator or other state official in the

lington need to do when he wished 70

the library would be TO take train and

The officials health would not prob

would respectfully suggest that the good

castle, La, to answer the charge of hav-

The case is one that has commanded

ALL IN THE COOKING
MUCH CARE NEEDED IN PREPARA
TON OF ASPARAGUS.
Delicious Vegetable Worth All the
Time and Skill That Can Be Given
It-Many Different Ways
of Serving.

Asparagus is one Of the dishes
which cooking can make or mar. 1t
has always been esteemed a great dell
cacy. 1t was the favorite vegetable
of the ancient Romans and was intro
duced by them into Britain. 1t Is
much more generally used in France
and England than here.
Fashion has decreed during the past
few years that asparagus must be
served cold at up-to-date social func-
tons, but on the home table hot as
paragus cooked en- branche or cut up
In a cream sauce will never go a-beg-
ging.
BY most people the simplest way OF
cooking asparagus is considered BEST
SAYS the Delineator. Cut off the tough
est ends Of the stalk where 1t Is white
and woody, and bind the remainder OF
the stalks together with a strip of mus
lin, immense the stalks in boiling
sailed water, with the tips projecting
two inches above the water. In this
way they will steam tender, while the
rest Of the stalk Is cooking. Boil until
tender, but not mushy, and serve with
white sauce, drawn butter, mayonnaise
bechamel or Hollandaise sauce as pre-
ferred.
A French woman eating asparagus
takes a stalk at a time in her fingers,
dips the head in the cream sauce, and
daintily nibbles her way down The
stalk as far as 1t seems tender. In
this country 1t is usually served on
buttered toast, each slice being dipped
in the asparagus liquid.
For those who would cling to aspara-
u cooked as mother used to cook 1T,
the directions are simple. Cut the ten
der portions of the stalks into half-lnch
lengths. Simmer in boiling sailed wa
ter, only just enough to cover, until
tender; then season asparagus, liquid
and all, with milk or cream, butter,
salt and pepper, and serve on toast or
in deep saucers. In this way the whole
delicate and distinctive flavor Of the
asparagus is preserved.
Canapes of asparagus make a dainty
entree, and, though adopted from the
French, find increasing popularity here
The foundation Of the canape Is the
same, no matter what the filling may
be. Take slices of bread about two
inches thick and stamp them out into
neat rounds with a biscuit cutter
With a smaller cutter mark a circle II
the center of each round and scoop GU
the crums to the depth Of an inch
taking care to leave the sides and bot
tom quite firm. Arrange these In
shallow dish and pour over them
half-pint Of milk, to which a beaten egl
has been added. Then take up yer,
carefully and slip into a kettle of boil
ing fat. They will brown almost in
mediately and must be removed whel
a pale golden brown. Some cooks pre-
fer to drop them at one into the no
fat without the milk-and-egg BATH
Drain on soft paper.
