Than Five Months.

burlington. March ga non-support
case heard before Justice Jed p. Ladd
Saturday evening seemed to present
some new features and called for rather
more than term of probation. The re-
spondent was Shelburne man, Louis
Huhn, who has been q stranger to his
family for about a year and who has
been in Burlington lately, having more
or less of good time, according to all
reports. He was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Todd.
Huhn left his wife and five children in
Shelburne about year ago and went to
Massachusetts to look for work. Since
that time he has been drawing a good
salary, it is said, but he has never been
inclined to communicate with his fam
lily, who were taken in charge by the
poor department at Shelburne and sup
ported But the authorities have been
keeping a lookout for HUM. He show
ed up at Burlington about week ago
with quite sum in his pocket which he
did not see fit to spend on any Of those
at home. When the authorities told him
his family were in the poorhouse at
Shelburne he showed surprise and ignor-
anee, but didn't seem to feel sorry. He
made no excuse for not contributing to
their support and appeared to be in
different to their fate.
Justice Ladd sentenced Huhn to serve
not more than six nor less than five
months at the house Of correction and TO
pay fine OF $40 and costs of $500,
which will give him % days more when
he completes the first term. The oldest
of Huhn's five children is twelve and the
is two.

and Action Is Generally Laid to
Report of Public Service
Commission.

of installing the new common battery
system and switchboard by the Western
Electric company for the Franklin Coun-

company left Saturday and Sunday for
home, while the foreman and his helper
will leave either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Total

Although there are still many details
of the Today campaign for the Barre
City hospital building fund yet to be
finished, il was possible for the commit
tee to announce to-day that the total
subscribed was S50,0l7.34, which, as
most everybody knows hereabouts, is
$4,000 more than the minimum mark
set as the goal of the efforts and Sl7 "a
more than the second mark set when il
was learned in the midst of the cam
paign that the minimum would be
passed. Thus the campaign proved to
be complete success.
The balance remaining after the form
al close of the campaign on Friday night
was attacked vigorously on Saturday
and the local workers, together with as
sistance that came from outside the city
were able to scrape enough together to
oversubscribe the needed amount by the
figures given above. There was consid-
cradle feverish anxiety in the final work
as the workers were well-nigh exhausted
over their hard 10 days campaign and
the pocketbooks of the people had been
drawn upon quite heavily.

DEATH OF JAMES P. MARI.
Well-Known Barre Man Died in Will
Jamestown.

James r. Mari, for many years one ol
Barre's best known residents, passed
away Sunday morning at Williamstown
where he had been living for the past
few years with his brother, George Mari
He had been i'll for two years with
Bright's disease, which was the cause
of his DEATH and for the past four weeks
he had been confined to his room.
James Pratt Marr was born in Aber-
deenshire, Scotland, on June ", 1858,
the son of Alexander and Mary Mari
He received his schooling in b 3ative
land and came to the United ss in
1878, first going to Dix Me-.
where he followed the .s>.tion OF
stone cutter. From Dix -. lie went
to st. George, N. b.. >te Middle
brook, N. r.. and 81 Us. being en-
gagged for few yea .he large post
office in the last-r = place.
In 1879 he ca p Barre, being em-
ployed by Wetn..S & Morse. From
Barre he went to South Ryegate. where
he spent two years, when with John
Duffus he purchased Fosters Marble s
Granite Works at Waterbury. Until
1885 he was engaged in business at Wa
terblIry, when he returned to Barre and
had resided here practically all Of the
time since then. For a time he was
foreman for Gamble & Young.
During his more than 30 years Of res
idence in Barre and vicinity Mr.. Marr
had come to be well known and his
death viii be regretted by many peo-
pie. He was Of a genial disposition and
made friends easily, and he delighted in
their comradeship. At Waterbury he
joined the Masonic lodge and in Barre
he was active in organizations which
carried with them the distinctive flavor
of his native land. He was one of the
founders of the Glenugie club and was
its president from the time of its forma
tion almost up to the time of his death.
He also was one Of the prominent mem
bers of the Burns club and was at one
time president of the organization.
Mr.. Mari was a greater admirer of
the bard of Scotland" Robert Burns,
in memory of whom the Burns club
was formed, and he knew the poets
works quite thoroughly and was wont
to repeat parts Of the more famous writ
ings. Indeed Mr.. Mars love for Burns
poetry was reflected in his own writing,
ability and wrote many lines.
Most OF his compositions breathed a
great sympathy with nature and her
mysteries. A large number have found
their way into print and have appealed
to many people.
While much interested in the civic
matters and in the progress of Barre,
Mr.. Mari did not himself 90 much into
official life, although he had served for
several years as a cemetery commission
err. He was holding that position at the
time of his death, and his term would
have run to 1916.
Mr. Marr leaves two brothers in Will
George and John Mari, and
one brother, Thomas G., in Aberdeen
shire; also three sisters, Mrs. William
Thorn OF Aberdeenshire and Mrs. Thomas
PEBBLES and Isabella Mari in Glasgow.
The funeral will be held from the
home Of George Marr in Williamstown
on Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock. Rev.
John Irons of the Congregational church

STRAIGHT SHOOTING

Americans may well take prlae IR the straight shooting Of the marksmen of tho national guard and the regular army which has been shown iE the annual tour Raments at camp Perry, seagirt and other ranges, rays the Cleveland Leader. Tas scores are very cred itable this year to numerous rifle men. They come from many states and all arms Of the service.
 In the light of the news from Europe it need hardly be said that an inefficient soldier is farce when he Is not a tragedy. As long IS men must be trained for fighting it Is silly and futile not to have them well trained. It is impossible now for any intelligent reader ot the dispatches from the battle-tOrn countries where great armies are struggling to believe that effective fighting forces can be imProYised anywhere. It takes too long to teach skill in the use St modern weapons.
 The better the citizen soldiers of this republic shoot the more they can be depended upon In time of need. Their markSmanship is a vital part Of their fitness for any emergency.
