BRADSTREET'S
REPORT OF
VERMONT

Reports to Bradstreet's for the
week state machine business is fully
employed and there is considerable
business ahead; this is also true of
plants manufacturing shoddy. Other
manufacturing2lines are employed
full time with. the usual number of
employees for the period. Reports
upon the early run of ssap in maple
sugar orchards note limited amount
of business has been done in this
line. What sugar has been placed
on the market has been of good
quality und is commanding a good
price. The season has opened earlier
than usual this year and under
peculiar conditions, for instance,
there is very small amount Of snow
in the woods and in certain camps,
none at all. This is looked upon as
IN evidence of a smaller amount of
maple sugar being produced. 1t is
the opinion however that prices will
be above normal. Reports from the
papea mill district state new busi-
ness is coming in slowly. The
amount Of building work in sight the
state over, is admitted to be less than
usual. The demand for general
hardware is fairly good and new
business is coming in we'll Among
the retail stores, milliners report a
good demand and early sales have
been unusually good. Dealers in
clothing6and dry goods state the
opening of the spring periods finds
among a larger per cent of them, a
larger supply of heavier goods than
is customary, This is attributed to
unsatisfactory weather conditions
during the winter which die, not ad-
NIT of the ready movement of seas
enable goods. One failure is re-
ported for the week while collections
generally are reported slow. The
early breaking up of the ice in Lake
Champlain has made it possible for
the resumption .of traffic on that
body of water earlier than usual.
Further reports regarding the dam
age done by the flooded condition of
water courses show that the total
loss to merchantile interests will be
greater than was at first reported.
The concensus of opinion among
both wholesale and retail merchants
is that the outlook for spring trade
is good.

EASTERgOBSERVANCES

Easter Day was much more 'salub-
rious than might have been expected
at the time of year, and the impress
sive services at the various churches
were extremely we'll attended. The
messages from the pulpits were es-
pecially inspiring and helpful, and
the audiences were most responsive.
The customary music proved. as
usual, a special feature of ithe days
local observance. The decorations
of Easter lilies and other flowers,
also. were most tasteful and attract
i've. The spiritual impressions of
the day, doubtless, sank deep into
the hearts of hundreds of people,
and will be a source of new courage
and stimulus to them throughout the
coming year.

HIGH Waters
CAUSES BAD
WiSHOUT

Train service on the Grand Trunk
was suspended for some time last
Saturday when the Connecticut river
overflowed its banks at Beatties and
rendered the rail unfit for travel for
about 300 feet. At the point wheIe
the washout occurred, the railroad
crosses a fiat ssection of country on
an embankment. The C. V. Lumber
Company had thousands of logs in
the river at the time and this aided
in throwing the rails out Of align
ment. Logs were scattered all over
the surrounding fields.
This happened Friday night and
the westbound Pullman was held up
on the east side of the washout, and
when the eastbound Pullman arrived,
it was necessary to tranfer the pas
ssagsrs and baggage, and the trains
returnedsfrom whence they came.
The westbound pullman didn' t arrive
until 6 am.
1t was necessary for the company
to send to Portland for a trainload
of lumber to bridge the washout, and
considering everything. the job was
a quick one.
At about the same time, the rail
road had to contend with two smaller
washouts on the west end and freight
traffic was demoralized.

MINSTRELS
PLEASE LARGE
AUDIENCE

Last Tuesday evening several hun
dred people thronged Opera Hall,
the occasion being the big minstrel
show given by the Base Ball Associ-
alton.
AS foretold in last weeks Herald,
that the show would be one of the
best of the season; so it proved.
Never did the stage look more
charming than with the circle of
young men and women, dressed in
white, flanked by the blackened end
men. The contrast was delightful.
The national colors were tastily ar
ranged in back of the stage.
Each and every one that took part,
performed in creditable style, but
the premier honors must go to Miss
Mary Turgeon, with her song,
Yours"
The chorus work was of the high
est standard, and Mrs. |. E. Quimby
and Mrs. H. B. Amey, who worked
so hard in the preparation of the
show, should be commended upon
the result.
e. W. Withrow was the interlocu-
tor and the ends were we'll taken
care of by M. Stevens, L. Banner,
W. F. Morong and Claude Foster.
The show opened with the chorus,
Along the Mobile shore" " followed
by the above mentioned solo by Miss
Turgeon. L. Banner received much
applause with his song, "Put me
among the girls" Maud Maroney
then sang, Where the river Shannon
flows, " followed by Maynard Stew
ems with an end song. That's why
| never married" Gertrude Nor
ton sang very prettily southern
Nanny" song, and Claude Foster
made deep impression with "Play-
ing my old Banjo" Adelard Payeur
made one of the hits of the evening
with his ballad, Rose of Mine"
The first part ended with the song,
"Honulu Lou" by w. F. Morong,
and chorus. Interspersed with the
above songs were witty jokes by the
end men.
Frank Russell and Morris Smith
won much favor with the audience
in their suffrage act; although we
have always had the idea that the
followers of Lady Pankhur ST were
virulent takers.
The "Coontown Justice, with
Chas. Streete as a substituting
judge, caused uproarious laughter.
When the wee man appeared, the
house was convulsed. Dick Sadlier
and Maynard Stevens as the prose-
cutting and defending lawyers, car
ried their parts in fine style, as did
the others in the cast. Frank Rus
sci as a sleepy policeman; Edgar
Russel, bad citizen; C. E. Withrow,
who works nights; Morris Smith
who steals for his mothers sake;
Adelard Payeur, a stage favorite;
L. Banner, a dark shoplifter; and
Joe St. Pierre as swell coon.
Before the curtain was rang down
for the final, the whole company as
sembled upon the stage and, joined
by the audience, sang the national
anthem, America"
Others who took part, beside those
mentioned above, were: Ethelwynn
Dickson, Evon LaFountain, Zilda
Marquis, Mona LaTourneau, Irene
Lougee, Walter st. Pierre, Earl
Donnelly, Norman and James Samp,
son, and Arthur Seymour.
Following the play, dancing was
enjoyed until a late hour.
