other countries of the world They
are finding that our sales abroad for

mean great deal to the layman,

WHEN THE ST. }. AND l.. G. RAIL

of tho road, the first shovel full of dirt
having been dug at st, Johnsbury, Dec.

1t was seven and a half years before
through connection was finally consum-
mated. The last rail was laid in the
town Of Fletcher on the i7th OF July.
1877. a special train left here In the
morning carrying a hundred people, an
other from Swanton coming east met

were to be connected. Col. A. y. Jewett,

THE scene at the Joining of the rails
was one OF deep interest, Hundreds OF
men and women had come from the
towns about to witness tho ceremony
that was to give them a railroad. The
place was significant; away from city OF

broad valley skirted by a luxurian'
wood; a fit place for the last crownine
act Of such an enterprise. And when the
shouts went and the last sounds OF the

FRANK JAMES,0NCE

James, who was a member OF the noto-
rious James gang, died to-day on his farm
had been In i'll health for several months
and was stricken with apoplexy this
morning.
Frank James had been living the life of
a quiet farmer for more than 30 years.
The son of a minister respected through
out the community, Frank James had
joined Quantrell's guerillas in the Civil
War. together with his brother. Jesse.
and took part in the sacking of Law
renee. Kans. After the guerillas dis
banded the James brothers became
bandits. Many notorious crimes of
the decade following the war
have been laid at the door of the
James Young gang, of which the surviv-
ing members were Frank James and Cole
Younger. the latter of whom is now living
at Lees Summit, Mo.
Although the James boys participated
In hundreds of robberies It lis now gcner-
ally believed that there were also hun
dreds of robberies charged up to then
of which they were innocent.

WHY SALOONS STAY.
Speakers Declare 1t Ii Because Voters
DO Not do Their Duty.

a large and enthusiastic audience
Of men assembled in the Y. NJ. C.. A.
hall Sunday afternoon to hear the
addresses on THE Community and the
Saloons by John p. Myers, the young
hardware man of Pittsburgh. and the
Rev. James s. Braker. pastor of the
Baptist Church. w. J. Van Patten
presided and introduced the speakers.
Prof. A. A. Borland read a Scripture
selection and offered prayer. A musi-
cal program was presented at the be-
ginning of the meeting by Ralph Bis
sonette and Harry Teelyea.
Mr.. Myers said the essence Of his
remarks could be summed up by ask
ing two questions, which he would
discuss. The first question is d
you realize the responsibility that Is
IN your Nineteen hundred years ago.
Jesus Christ established once and for
all the truth that we are our broth
ers' keepers. 1t is up to you to take
a stand on this proposition. You owe
II to yourself, to your church and to
your community. You owe to the
world to make 1T better for your hav-
ing lived In 1t. We pray. Thy King
~D' ~D'N ~ w '''ii
don't have to go to China to find an
opportunity to render service.
The second question is What are
YOU going to do about 1t? You might
divide voters into three classes. those
allied with liquor interests who arc
out and out committed to the main
tanning Of the liquor traffic; those I'M
hinchinH foes of the traffic who arc
determined to fight it until it is de-
stroyed. and lastly the great floating
vote which can determine the result
and does determine it. Many types of
men make up this last class. There is
the man who lightly says. Let the
men who want drink have it, it's moth
ing to me-" This sort of spirit does
not square with the proposition that
we are our brothers Keepers. Then
there are the men who fool themselves,
thinking the saloons are IA good thing
The business man can be shown that
he Is a loser by the saloon. He has
to write off his books again and again,
accounts that are not collectable be-
cause men are ruined by drink and
can't pay debts. Then there is the
good but lazy citizen who forgets "a
vote.
No man ever tells you the saloon
ever did n good. 1t Is simply a
question OF how much harm II does.
Here In burlington. the open saloons
are bound to have a bad influence on

to you because men will be Influenced
by the stand you take.
Mr.. Braker said arguments are now
no longer needed. The speakers in
the Flying Squadron showed clearly
enough that the saloon Is an evil and
most undesirable. Why are the sa
looms going to stay In BURLINGTON
Because we nave struck an attitude o,
conviction that the saloon has got te

recent discovery of a few cases where

Of the two old and wealthy Philadelphia
families, the Lppincotts and the Biddles

Such a wedding. in the ordinary course
Of events. as fashions now go, would be
a more or less spectacular affair. per-
laps conducted in church, with a host Of
guests in attendance and with much
form and Nor would the fact
that the families belong to the Society
Of Friends be expected to make much
difference, for the generation of
Friends leans to the ways of the "world'S
best people" The distinctive Quaker
dress has been largely abandoned by thu
young people, and In habits and customs
they show few signs of the former SIM
plicity that marked the members of the
society.
But this young couple returned to the
simple methods of their ancestors. The
ceremony was that prescribed by the
Friends. There was no music and the
guests were seated as the bridal party
filed I'm and up the center Of the room,
which was divided off In a long aisle,
When they reached the end the bride and
bridegroom faced the guests and seated
themselves, the bride on the left and the
Bridegroom on the right, They remained

then Mr., Biddle rose and going to the
bride, took her RICH hand and repeated
