came between the hours of 8 and 8,

was tastily arranged in wood brown
and blue, and attended by three camp
fire girls. representing the camps OF

noticeable feature was the absence OF
extravagant prices upon the numerous
articles, the marks seeming within the
reach of ALL while a fair profit was
made above the cost, the result being
an unusually large sale.

NO MORE MIXED TRAINS.
Order of Public Service Commission
Now in Effect,

A recent order of the Vermont public
service commission became effective to-
day, when the Central Vermont railroad
ceased operating mixed trains over the
Barre branch between Montpelier and
this city. The order is the outcome of
a petition presented before the commits
sion by several citizens of Barre asking
for better service between Barre and the
main line. A hearing on the petition
was held in city hall last September and
shortly afterwards the commissions de-
cision forbidding mixed trains was an
nounced. Hitherto the train known as
No Q arriving in Barre at 9:40 has con-
sisted of freight cars and passenger
coaches. Henceforth neither that train
or any other train on the branch pas
senger schedule will have freight cars
attached.
The Central Vermont roads annual
fall train schedule became effective to-
day. On the Barre branch the only
change noted is relative to the reparture
Of No. SO, which formerly left at 225
a. M. whereas il is now scheduled to
leave for the main line at 2;40,

BEAT ADAMS 7 TO 5
Close But Listless Game at Morgan
Park Saturday Afternoon.

Bennington defeated Adams at
Morgan park Saturday afternoon by
score of to 5. While first one
team and then the other was in the
lead the game presented but few fea-
lures and compared with the contest
at Fowler park yesterday was rather
listless. There were three long hits,
one home run and two triples, but the
fielding developed no exciting Incl
dents.
Ryan, the Adams boy. who pitched
for his home teams, held the lead for
three innings but in the fourth and
fifth the long drives by Peloquin
and Carolan put ICY" Ferrys men
sets players tied the score in sixth
but it was then evident that Ryan was
finding the pace too fast In the
seventh he was hit for a double and
single and in the eight he was
touched up for another single and a
sacrifice and made a wild pitch. In
addition Ferry dropped throw from
third and the combination resulted in
putting three Bennington runners
across the plate.
Ruiter, the Northampton student
pitcher, who made his first appear
ance in the box for Bennington, was
naturally nervous and when men
were on bases did not use much
speed. He was batted rather freely
during the first two innings but Ad-
ans failed to bunch on him during
the remainder of the game. The
score:

It's Fate When Living Up to Its Dignity
Was Suggested.

There is comic artist on New

too much and little too often. Also
he wore a heavy brown beard Of which
he was very proud
One morning he came 10 the Office,
showing signs Of indiscretions the
night before. His managing editor en-
deavored to appeal TO his better judg-
ment
"Old man" ne said seriously, you're
too old and too smart To be doing this
sort of thing II might he all right for
Il lot of smooth faced kids TO spend
the night over bar but you ought to
remember that you're no longer a kid.
You ought to try to live up to the dig
nifty Of that beard Of yours"
This last suggestion seemed TO throw
the culprit into a brown study. He re-
tired TO his corner of the art room TO
think it over In a few minutes he
put on his hat and coat and slipped
out. and he didn't come back for two
weeks either But within an hour aft
er his departure the managing editor
heard from him. A messenger boy
brought I'm a pasteboard box such as
florists use 10 pack flowers in. The

and opened the box.

Following the reading of the call
by Village President D.. A. Ward,
Trustee f. H. Holden for the com
mittee made a report of estimates
submitted by the engineers who pre-
pared the map and data for the pro-
posed system. The entire system, II
was stated, would cost in the vici-
nifty of $10S,000 but the engineers,
at the request of the trustees, had
made a special map and estimates Of

continuance. The proposal. he said,
had been advertised and attention to
it had been called time and again in
the Banner and he did not believe
that the voters would give the sub
ject any more serious consideration
if the meeting were continued.
There was the sum of $4,000 to be
expended this year on permanent high
ways, he said and It seemed best to
him that some definite steps toward
the building of the surface sewer
should be taken before the high
way money was expended.
The original motion was amended
by George w. Williams to read three
weeks instead of six and il was final
ly voted that the articles relating to
both surface and sanitary sewers be
laid on the table until the adjourned
meeting.
Corporation Attorney G.. A. Maurer

The Pope this morning received IN
farewell audience Cardinal OCon-
nell. archbishop of Boston, who is
leaving for home on Wednesday
When the cardinal entered the pri-
yate library the Pope met him half
way, saying 81 am sorry you are
going, very sorry"
The pontiff notwithstanding three
hours. hard work which he had al
ready accomplished, besides the fatl-
guing reception of late, appeared as
strong and alert as when Cardinal
O'Connen saw him on May Fl. They
conversed at length. The Pope IN
quired regarding the missionary con
gress which is to meet at Boston IN
October.
When the audience was about to
end, the Pope received Cardinal
O'Connelps companions, Mgr. Mich

pontiff blessed st. Elizabeth's hospi-

Dr. Slattery was surrounded by

Trouble In Vermont House OF
Correction
20 PRISONERS IMPLICATED
Had to Work Indoors Saturday After
noon and Objected to the
Arrangement.

Rutland, June Prisoners at the
house of correction and county jail
attempted to inaugurate a strike at
the institution Saturday afternoon,
and to defy the orders of the prison
authorities, but with disastrous re-
suits, so far, at least, for last night
al 1.-The men implicated were locked
up, and will probably remain so I'M
til brought back into subordination
They will also be deprived of GER
tain privileges which they had en-
joyed in common with other model
prisoners before their outbreak.
Rumor at first made the affair
hunger strike, carried out on lines
made famous by the militant suf-
fragettes of Great Britain. The re-
port was that the men had become
dissatisfied with the fare offered
them, and had gone on hunger
strike until such time as they re-
ceived better food. When this ru-
NOR was referred to the prison Of
fficals last night they said it was not
true.
They said that Saturday some of
the shop men, who are usually al
lowed to work in the prison yard on
Saturdays were told to remain at
work in the shop. They rebelled, and
refused to go to the shop to work,
upon which evidence of open insub-
ordination the men were locked up,
and no definite time has been set
for their release.
1t was explained at the house of
correction last night that nothing
had been taken from the men to
which they had any real claim. The
prisoners involved number about 20.

RAVEN0US ESKlMoS.
They Eat and Digest Food That Would
Kill an Ordinary Man.

XIII an Ordinary Man.
We hear much of American dyspep-
STA, but there is one native race OF
America that is certainly not troubled
in this respect The Eskimo defes all
the laws of hygiene and thrives. He
| eats until be is satisfied. but is said
never TO be satisfied while a shred of
his feast remains unconsumed. His
capacity is limited by the supply and
by that only.
The Eskimo cannot make any mis-
take about the manner of cooking his
food, since, rs rule he does not cook
it, Nor. so far us the blubber or fat Of
the arctic animal is concerned, is the
Eskimo concerned about his manner
of eating II. Indeed, he may be said
not to eat it at all. He cuts 1t into
long strips an inch wide and an inch
thick and then lowers the strip down
his throat as one might lower rope
into a we'll
Despite all this the Eskimo does not
suffer from Indigestion He can make
a good meal Off the flesh and skin OF
the walrus, provision so hard and grit
ty that in cutting up the animal the
knife must be continually sharpened.
The teeth of a little Eskimo child
will. 1t is said by those in a position
to know. meet in bit of walrus skin
as the teeth Of an American child
would meet in the flesh Of an apple, al
though the hide of the walrus is from
half an inch to an inch in thickness
and bears considerable resemblance to
the hide Of an elephant The eskimo
child will bite it and digest it and new
