WILL PINCH AUTOISTS
Village TrusteesI To Have Speed
Laws Enforced On The Streets
And Crossings.

States attorney Dutton inserted a
warning to automobilists who dis
regard the speed laws of the state
last week and now the village trus-
tees are preparing warnings forbid
ding auto drivers to run their car
faster than four miles an hour while
crossing a sidewalk in entering or
going out from private or public
premises. In several places in town
autos come out from between two
buildings on the side walk at speed
that a passer by on the sidewalk
could not escape.
Notwithstanding the states at
torney's warning automobiles were
running at 80 miles an hour through
the village last Sunday and the auth
critics have decided to make an
example of some offenders. If they
carry out their program names not
usually seen in the criminal columns
will be published soon unless the
law is observed.
Much Sidewalk Work
The village trustees will put
sidewalk gang at work this week and
will begin an extensive repairing of
sidewalks this season. In addition
to this they will construct a large
amount of new sidewalk. 1t will be
remembered that improvements were
much curtailed last year on account
of the unusual food expense and it
is hoped that the authorities can
catch up this season.

A MEADOW MUSICALE
Fine Program Rendered In The Elms
Last Sunday Afternoon

One of the finest musical programs
of the day in St. Johnsbury was
given last Sunday afternoon in the
elms in the E. and T. Fairbanks and
Cos. meadow by the Messrs. Bobo-
link. The party was in honor of the
Misses Bobelink, who had just re-
turned from a winter tour of the
South and was attended by the elite
of Birddom. The ladies were
elegantly dressed in brown while the
gentlemen wore the conventional
black trimmed with red and white.
Several chorus songs of thanks
giving were rendered showing the
strength and volume of the singers
voices. There were also several
fine solos in which the virile notes of
confidence and valor were effectively
rendered while others gave sweeter
and more sentimental notes. Short
selections by several transitory guests
were quickly sung while a party of
pipers stationed in a nearby pond
added to the medley of song.
The concert was open to all who
visited the scene on foot bat gaso-
line explosions drowned all the music
for pleasure seekers in automobiles.
While no handbills have been dis
-tributed it is understood the concert
will be repeated this week when
ever the weather permits.

Leave Soon For Europe

Leave Soon For Europe
DR.. and Mrs. Martin G. Benedict
expect to sail on June 9Th for a
summer abroad. This is a well earn
ed vacation for one who has been
principal of the Academy for five
years, without an extensive vacation
during that time. They sail from
Boston, with Naples for their first
landing place, stopping at The
Azores, MADEIRA. Gibraltar and Al
giers en- route, and expect to land
at Naples about June 10.
Their present plan is to spend a
large part of the summer in Italy and
Switzerland, making very brief stops
at Amsterdam, Paris, and London,
and going hence directly to Scot
land, where a week or more will be
spent. The date of return has not
yet been settled but will be in ample
time for the opening of the next
school year.
The trip is to be taken in company
with William Day Crockett, profes-
sor of History, and DIR. Runkle, pro-
fessor of psychology in the PennsyI-
vania State College who were as
sociated with DR.. Benedict while he
was professor of pedagogy in that
institution, and who will also be ac-
companied by their wives.

Two New Cases Reported To The
Health Officer Monday

over, two new cases were reported
Monday morning. One case is that of
lola Morrison, daughter of Mr.. and

Fire gutted the garage of Dr. J.
M. Allen Monday, causing several
hundred dollars loss. At considerable
risk, DIR. Allen removed his automo-

only damage to the machine was two
scorched tires. The garage and con-
tents were practically a total loss.
The fire caught, 1t is thought from
gasoline, while a boy was cleaning

franchised 100000 Italian voters.
Just as he might throw Italy into

If Don Murri's plan to abolish the

were adopted, it would at once clear

Wonderful Suggestion Of Unity.

1t is always interesting, says the
Ave Maria, to hear of the impression
made on thoughtful outsiders by the
sight of typical Catholic congrega-
tion attending Mass. Here is one of
the outstanding reflections Of recent
Protestant visitor to st. Patrick's
church in Montreal:
"One thing above all struck me. It
always comes to me whenever go
into Roman Catholic church. It is
the wonderful suggestion of unity.
Here. in this large church, with it's
immense congregation, you never
thought Of it's individual MEMBERS
you never thought, indeed, of them in
any other way than as of forming one
immense body, an organized unity,
dominated and welded into one cor
porate whole by generations of tradi-
tion and training"
And 1t is often enough the persua-i
sive, though scarcely recognized, force
of this unity that draws the rejecting
non-Catholic on from curious attend.

heresies which spring from it."
1t was for the volume then pre-.
sented and for the declaration then
made that Henry received the title of
Defender of the Faith" from the
Pope.
Love Affair Of Henry Viii.
Grave events often spring from
slight causes and, whatever may be
said by professional controversalists,
there can be no doubt that 1t was a
mere love affair of Henry VIII which
initiated the royal policy and finally
dragged England into schism and
heresy.
ITO some people. indeed, in these
days the action Of the Pope in refus-
ing to allow Henry to have his own
wilful way in putting aside his we'd
ded wife, Katherine, and marrying an.
other woman. with whom he had had
Illicit relations, may appear to have
been the height of unwisdom. Ger.
tainly as a result it has been the most
disastrous consequence to the Eng
lish Church. But this at least all
must confess; that the Pope's cour-
ageous action is manifest proof of
the impossibility of ecclesiastical all.
thority interfering without right rea.
son with the indissoluble sanctity of
true Christian marriage"
With the royal hand on the throats
OF his ecclesiastical subjects, accord
ing to Abbott Gasquet, Henry VIII ex.
torted from convocation an unwilling
recognition of him as the Protector
and Supreme Head of the English
Church."
This was followed, he said, in 1888
by an act called "The Submission of
the Clergy" which deprived the
church OF England Of any synodical
action and made it promise not to
legislate in convocation without the
royal license.
The next step was the statement of
Royal Supremacy, and all ecclesiastics
were required to make oath that they
accepted it. This time, said the
speaker, the terms renouncine the
Papal Supremacy were not ambiguous.
and 1t was taken with few exceptions

How Cardinal Manning Became 4
Catholic.
In private conversation this great
prince of the church himself related
the following:
Il was in Rome, visited the mu-
seums, the churches, and viewed the
city from all points. l had never had
the shadow of doubt as to the truth
OF Professionalism, and had not the
slightest notion of changing my re-
lfgion. Nothing of all that 1 saw had
made an impression upon me, and I
was as far from Catholicism as was
at my departure from England.
"One morning l entered the Church
OF st. Louis of France. The Blessed
Sacrament was exposed on one of the
altars, probably on account of O. no.
vena. There was nothing out of the
ordinary; a few candles were burning.
the priests, vested only in their sur
pllces, knelt in the sanctuary: and a
few of the faithful were praying in
the church. Nothing of the pomp of
st. Peters was there, but it was Gods
time. l felt in my heart mysterious
emotion, partly illumination, partly
attraction. For the first time in nv
life 1T appeared to me that truth
might be here, and that possibly /
might one day become Catholic, But
l was not yet converted. 1t was mere
ly the call of God and was still far
from the truth. I did not reject the
call, but prayed. sought and stud
led with all the sincerity of which I
was capable. Light increased from
day to day, and grace accomplished
the rest"
Considered from temporal point of
view, no conversion could have been
connected with more disadvantages.
There was for a clergyman and q
scholar no more agreeable position
than that Of Archdeacon Manning. AS
a dignitary Of the Anglican church he
possessed riches, influence and a
prominent position; genius, fame and
friends were his. These were all
lost on entering the hated church of
Rome; but, as he said, he hardened
to the voice of God calling him.
