Merry Making by Vermont Association
In Boston.
Several hundred men and women join
ed in merry Halloween party under the
auspices of the Vermont association of
Boston Thursday night. Cornstalks and
pumpkins were used effectively in the
decorat lions, and the refreshments served
included 200 pumpkin pies, 100 dozen
doughnuts, a barrel of red apples and so
gallons of sweet cider.
The wall of the dance hall was eff
fectively adorned with big black slhou-
etts of witches astride broomsticks,
black cats, owls, etc. There was a weird
fancy dance with lowered lights by a
score of female ghosts who had all the
earmarks of the traditional graveyard
visitor, the devil in his familiar regala
doing the solo part. Later Preston
Blanchard, made up as black cat, with
eyes that gowed with electric light
bulbs, lent a spice of humor to the
scene by circulating about among the
whirling dancers on the floor.

commissary Quarters Burned.

The commissary department of the
Italian settlement south of the River
Tavern, known as Giradi's store, took
fire Saturday afternoon and burned to
the ground. The fire probably caught
from the stove in side and at the rear
and was not discovered until 1t had
gained such Roadway that it was USE
less to try to fight it with the slight
apparatus near. Consequently the only
effort made was to save the nearby
shacks. The loss was about $1,000 and the
property was not insured. This was the
property of the Italian, Giradi. not OF
the railroad company.

section think that this road will be
one of the greatest things for the
country which i; will traverse.

Plant Secret.

An old and experienced florist
taught me many valuable and useful
things in regard to plants. One of his
tricks was that whenever he trans
planted any flower or plant he always
sifted steel filings into the new soil
before he put in the plant. He ex-
planned to me that the steel filings
rusted when the soil was watered and
that the rust made the plants grow
rapidly. In the long time that | was
associated with him | never knew his
method OF treatment to fail.

Roughest Match in History Of

Title at Stake.

the Turner-Jordan wrestling match, held
last night at the Lyceum Theater
stopped the bout after the men had
wrestled forty-five minutes, declaring II
no contest and all bets on.
The bout was without doubt the rough
est Of its kind ever seen here, Turner be-
ing the offender throughout. Jordan also
did some rough work. Pat O'Connor.
after warning the wrestlers several times,
stopped the battle.
The cause in the agreements, which
stated that the match was TO be a finish
or TO be gOvernered by the referees de-
Cision, caused the trouble. Nothing was
said in the agreements regarding the dis
qualification OF the offender. Jordan put
up a great battle, and appeared TO have
all the best OF the bout.

wish TO say TO the public who at
tended the wrestling match last night
at the Lyceum Theater. 10 all who feel
dissatisfied. that my decision was this:
On account Of the bout not meeting the
approval OF some OF those present the
articles Of agreement did not show spe-
ciically TO dlsqualify either wrestler, ir-
respective of what happened during the
championship bout. Mr.. Sam Jordan.
Mr.. Chris Jordan's personal represent
ative, insisted that a disqualification
should not interfere with the match,
according to the agreement reached by
the men. I was at the point of stop
ping the match when the police took
step in the matter. insisted when
the men were called together at the
center Of the mat before the bout, that
disqualification should be declared II
either man became too rough. in my
judgment, but Mr.. Sam and Mr.. Chris
Jordan would not consent I hope that
this statement will meet with the ap-
proval Of all the dissatisfied.
