SENATOR PAGE, 90 YEARS OLD.-The
Goth anniversary of the birth of Senator
Carroll S. Page and the 5Oth anniversary
OF the birth of Senator Reed Smoot, of
Utah, was made the occasion of a quiet
little dinner Wednesday evening, Jan. 10,
at the residence OF the latter, in Wash
ington Two years ago the two Senators
conceived the idea of joint celebration
of the event, and they intend to continue
it as long as both are members of the
Senate. possibly longer, as ties of friend
ship formed there are often indissoluble
by termination of service. Only the two
families, with two or three intimate
friends, were present.

Mayor Roberts of Burlington contin-
ues to "make good" as Mayor of the
Queen City. He gives close attention to
all municipal affairs, which is what he
should do, and when it comes to any
public functions, for instance, like the
dairymens meeting last week, he knows
how to hand out a welcome that makes
everybody feel right at home and that
Burlington is the best place that ever
was. "Rob" Roberts is all right.

By giving 100000 and guaranteeing
the expenses of the committee, Baltimore
has secured the coming Democratic Ma
tional Convention, which will be held in
that city, beginning June 25th-a week
after the Republicans hold their conven-
tion in Chicago. Baltimore pays well for
the honor. Will it be worth the game?

Gov. Mead has appointed D. X. Locke
of Rutland member Of the State Board
of Education-an appointment that is
well spoken of. H. !. Stannard, whom ne
succeeds, was valuable member OF the
board laboring faithfully for the best in
terests of education, and consequently
there are many who would liked to have
seen him given re-appointment.

The birth of handsome daughter and
a promotion to an important Senate
clerkship, two events coming very near
together, might beiuddle" an ordinary

events and the many congratulations

The Ludlow Tribune mentions" r.
w. Hulburd for one Of the delegates to
the National Republican convention. Mr..
Hulburd was delegate to the last con-
vention and that eliminates him this
time The fact that Senator Page will
probably head the delegation would give
Lamoille county about her full share of
representation on the delegation, How
ever, if that. could be overlooked, the
county could furnish several good men
from which to make a selection-among
them Elk Lieut.. Gov. Stearns of Johnson
Hon. F. G. Fleetwood of Morrisville and
Senator Pike of Stowe-all level-headed
and staunch Republicans. And we could
mention" lot more here of this same
stripe. There is no dearth of good men
in Lamoille county for any position, as
the state we'll knows.

The Montpelier Journal is saying good
words for E. H. Deayitt, its townsman,
who will be a candidate for re-nomlna-
ton for State Treasurer. All it says is
true. The state has had some very good
State Treasurers, in fact about every
man that is called to that position al
ways makes good and leaves the office
after giving the state faithful service. So
it is with the present official. Mr. Dea
witt is serving his sixth year in that ca
pacity and never word has been raised
against his official worl-in fact, moth
ing but commendatorv remarks are made
about him and his methods of conduct
ing affairs Herewith so it is settled as a
foregone conclusion that he will be
given another two years lease of the
office, and that, we think, without any
opposition.

Embassy omcIaIs Scout Report OF
$4,000 Necklace Theft.

II the awakening OF a diplomat con-
stitutes ground for the severance OF
friendly relations between two of the
worlds powers, the United States and
Great Britain will both reiegate that
much proposed Anglo-American alliance
TO the pigeonhole of obscurity.
Twice within a week has the British
Embassy been rudeIy disturbed by the
discourtesy of American citizens. The
first time, when a bricklayer named Fitz-
patrick hurled his favorite gem through
the embassy window the nerves OF the
diplomatic family were severely Jared
Yesterday morning with just as much
cause for his visit as that which made
Fitz hurl the brick. Detective Evans
awakened the embassy inmates by
queries concerning q SO, 900 necklace.
Il fear. old chap, you speak Of >
myth answered Capt. Sowerby, the
military attache OF the embassy, when
Evans asked IL the valuable necklace
had been found.
You're chatting me-" demonstrated
the diplomat when the detective drew
from his pocket a copy OF a morning
paper and displayed in letters black and
held a story equaled only by one Of
Aesop's fables Cwithout the moraD.
The writer was under the spell OF a
narcotic, Judge" calculated the diplo-
mat as he read an account Of how a
woman guest at one Of his dinners had
lost a $4,000 necklace"
We'll, no wonder we English think
your bally American papers sensational"
said another attache OF the embassy.
Just think OF weaving such fabrica-
ton out of the imagination? Some fic-
ton writer. old chap; the one that wrote
that story about the necklace lost at
Capt. Sowerby's dinner"

in Contempt Case VIII
BE Heard March 2.

With tie question whether Representa-
tive sulzer shall be called to testify be-
fore the court still in allegiance, Justice
Wright yesterday fixed March as the
probable date for commencing final ar
gumentS in the contempt proceedings
brought by him against President Samuel
Gompers, Vice President John Mitchell.
and Secretary Frank Morrison, OF the
American Federation OF Labor. The ar
guments will be heard before the full
bench OF SIX Justices Justice Wright de-
clined to allow the committee of prose-
cutors to present testimony In rebuttal
this week, but stated that he would do
so next week.
The purpose Of the defense in calling
Representative Sulzer TO the witness
stand, which is now considered likely, is
to clear the labor leaders OF charges OF
contempt based on an editorial (which
formed a part of the Congressman s
speech three years ago on the floor OF
