girls and the leading man suddenly
break loose, return to their childhood

The reason everyone watched the lit

simply because she seemed to be enjoy
ing herself so thoroughly. Whether
the leaders stunt" was to hop over a
chair or slide down the bannisters or
jump out of the window. She did it
with an appearance of zest and enthu-
siasm and a rollicking aIl-over-ness
that was simply captivating. Before
the end OF the act she actually received
an especial round of applause. And all
this without saying a word or doing
anything different from the others.

EXCITEMENT REIGNED
When Train Sent Baggage Truck
Through Crowd on Platform.

Passengers on the southbound local
train, leaving st. Albans at $50 o'clock
and connecting with the Barre branch
train arriving in this city at s:55 o'clock,
had rather unusual experience at
Montpelier station last night, when the
incoming train scraped baggage truck
which had been wheeled too near the
track. The truck was sent rolling down
through crowd Of bystanders on the
platform, as well as passengers waiting
to board the train TO Barre.
In the shuttle, it was fortunate that
several were not run down by the truck
and injured Mrs. NJ. Proulx, who re-
sides on Brook street, this city, was re-
turning from Montreal at the time and
had narrow escape in lodging the
heavily-laden truck. Mrs Proulx was
overcome by the excitement which pre-
vailed for several moments and tainted
away CONSERVATION reigned for few
moments when it was noised abroad that
woman had been seriously injured.
Friends. however, helped Mrs. Proulx to
the Barre train, where she was revived.
The damage resulting from the inci-
dent was confined entirely to the trucks
and few trunks bearing the brunt Of
the trains unexpected side-swipe.

proving Charge at Bennington.

evening on warrant issued by States
Attorney w. ]. Meagher Of this vii.
lage, charging the young man with Sc
curing unauthorized subscriptions to Sat
urday Evening Post from a Bennington
bank clerk. proved to be a case OF mis-
taken identity Wilson, who was brought
here from Rutland yesterday afternoon,
easily proved an alibi. The victimized
bank clerk also testified at an impromp-
ia hearing that the man under arrest
was not the person who took his sub
seription.
Following the news of Wilson's arrest
the local agent Of the Curtis Publish
ing company telegraphed to Philadelphia
and received reply to the effect that
the agent was an impostor whose real
name was Raster and offering 800 re-
ward for an arrest and conviction Both
the agent and the local authorities were
nonplussed when they learned that they
had been trailing an innocent person
bv the same name.
Rutland, Nov 2S. Edward Wilson
said last night that he had been de-
tanned in jail 36 hours and that he
was made to pay his railroad fare back
to this city from Bennington, and there
may be a suit for false arrest grow
ing out of the trpuble.

Publicity and the Courts.

The refusal of Mr.. Justice Morton of
the supreme judicial court to impound
the papers in civil suit for the set
tlement of an estate, on the ground that
the courts are tribunals for publicity,
meets with general approval. Courts are
forums where disputes are settled under
the authority of law, and the parties to
litigation desiring to avoid publicity
should adjust their differences out Of
court.
Before our courts plaintiff and defend
ant have the same rights and the en-
tering of suit makes the controversy,
in issue public matter, for our courts
are constituted and paid by the com
mcnwealth. The impounding of papers
rests in the discretion Of the presiding
justice, and except for the safeguarding
Of public morals there is no reason why
the papers in a civil case should be inn
pounded. Nor is there much more rea-
son in a criminal case.
If our courts should start out to inn
pound papers it inevitably would lead
to the charge that favored defendants
were shielded. Publicity and court pro-
ceedings 60 hand in hand and Mr.. Jus.
tice Morton very properly has impressed
that fdct upon the community Boston
