contributor to the Barre City hospital
fund, expresses his pleasure at the out
come of the recent campaign. He adds
that he recently had an experience with
burglars in his summer home at Los
Angeles, saving: my little hired home
was honored with a window call last
evening, house being alone. Coming in
about $3.50, found my friend had exam |
ined trunks, bureau drawers, etc, taking |
travellers checks belonging to my niece
and most of her iewelry, but not cloth |
ing or house furnishings. Being out,
we had no argument as to what he
should take or leave"
There will be a regular rehearsal of
the choral union on Tuesday next at
p. m. in the city hall, Montpelier,
which will be of especial Importance, !
since the matter of permanent seating |
of the members on the stage at the fes |
tival will be taken up. All members,
therefore, who are to sing at the festival |
should be present, in order to have the
seating properly arranged, and that all
will be provided with seats. Owing TO |
the Importance of the coming festival, /
the rehearsals will be continued till five
minutes of ten from now on, instead of /
stopping at nine thirty as heretofore.
Since this is the last rehearsal at which |
new members will be admitted, everyone
should attend who anticipates joining |
the chorus this year.
On complaints made to Grand Juror

Halves, local restauranteurs, were taken
to-day by Officer Harry Gamble before
Judge II. w. Scott in city court, where
they were charged with having failed to
post the regulation notices respecting
the sale of cigarettes in their establish
ments. Mr.. Murray entered plea of
not guilty and became recognized in
certain sum for his appearance at a
hearing to be held later. During the
forenoon it developed to the satisfac
ton of the court and the prosecution
that Mr.. Halves had not been dealing in
cigarettes for some time, and the charge
against him was mol pressed. Mr. Muir
ray has sought counsel.
