TALKED AGAINST MoRMoNISM.
Prof. o. F. Davis Gave Interesting Talk
at Hedding Church.

A large audience gathered last evening
at the Hedding church to listen to the
lecture recital of two scenes from the
play, "Polygamy," given by Prof, y. I.
Davis of Wisconsin. The meeting was
under the auspices of the Woman's Home
Missionary society and it was presided
over by Mrs. L. ID. Martin, the president
of that society. Miss Ella Hoyt rendered
a number of excellent musical selections
ON the pipe organ, Miss Agnes Rule sang
a fitting solo, Miss Gilman offered pray
err and then the president OF the society
introduced Professor Davis, who made a
few remarks before giving his recital.
The speaker said that Mormonism was
a menace to the United States in that its
doctrines and practices were out of har-
mony with constitutional law and al
though supposed TO abide by the law
since the manifesto in 1890, yet facts
prove that in many instances this law is
not faithfully kept by many of the Nor
mon people. He cited three ways in
which the Mormons have indicted them
selves: Cd Treason against the United
States governments (2l coalition OF
church and state; (3l the new polygamy.
Professor Davis then gave most ex-
cellent recital from two brief scenes tax
en- from the play "Polygamy." He held
the close attention of his audience and
the reading brought out the message that
the authors of the play intended to con-
vey TO the American people.
At the close of the reading an opportu-
nifty was given for anyone in the audience
to ask questions. Some questions and
objections were raised, the objections by
Mormon missionary now located in
Barre, but Professor Davis, because OF his
long study of the matter, was able to
present arguments TO support every state
ment that he had put forth and he did so
with such facts and literature at his com
mand that there was no doubt left in the
minds of most of his audience as to the
truth of his statements in his remarks or
in his lecture-reeital. At the close OF the
meeting a rising vote OF thanks was
heartily given to Professor Davis.

MONTPELIER
Cold Weather May Hold UP Construction
Of State-Street Bridge.

. VI otdtt"ohiNSN Safeb~s
Efforts to finish the construction OF the
steel and cement bridge on State street
may be abandoned this week until next
spring, as il is feared that the weather
is too frigid TO allow the cement 90 set
properly. Such action was considered
necessary by the city council at special
meeting held last evening and the street
committee received authority to confer
with Contractor James Il. eastman and
inform him of their opinion and to allow
him to present his view of the matter.
A plan considered feasible by the council
last evening would make necessary the
finishing of the stretching OF the girders
across the river from the two banks and
then proceed to lay planks across the
girders, thus allowing teams, automobiles,
pedestrians and the electric cars to travel
over the span, The cement work, the
council has been advised by the engineers,
makes very little difference in the
strength of the bridge, the girders playing
the big part. A cement sidewalk has
already been laid over the bridge on the
side next to the Rialto block and the rest
of the bridge could be boarded easily and
the expense would probably not be exces-
sive. Engineer Reed last evening told
the council the lowest rate of tempera-
ture in which it Is possible to lay cement
without prospects OF its freezing and
from the explanation, the council deemed
| it wise to stop the cement work until
warmer weather. Whether or not the
contractor will agree to the proposition
is not known, but the council did not
think it probable that he would object,
inasmuch as he is under bonds to erect
satisfactory structure. The meeting was
held primarily to allow citizens to regis
ter complaints about their sidewalk as
sessments, but few appeared to take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered.

Eugene Chambers, a farm hand en-
ployed by j. n. Perrin of Berlin, suffered
the fracture of his collarbone early yes

down by the pair Of horses hitched to the
separator. The horses were restless and

1t was good advice which Judge Willard
w. Miles gave to a convicted burglar in
Chittenden county court, advice to live
like man instead of like a criminal, and
vet Judge Miles did not see fit to mix up
maudlin sentimentality with justice and
he promptly sentenced the fellow to a
term in the state prison at Windsor. In
asmuch as the fellow had been caught
breaking into store in Burlington and
inasmuch, too, as he drew loaded revolt
yer when about to be arrested, the judge
did just the right thing he gave the fell
low something to think about and he then
gave him five months in which TO think
about it, If the convicted man is not too
much stepped in crime, he may come out
of the state prison determined to live
down his past and to be a man, as Judge
Miles urged him to be. He ought to know
by this time that the career of criminal
does not pay in the long run.

Charles Evans Hughes, justice of the
United States supreme court, does not
desire to be candidate for president of
the United States on the Republican tick
ct or any other ticket. He wishes TO be
justice of the supreme court, and for
several reasons, one of which is that he
has a life hold on the job and because the
scramble for the presidency is a very,
very uncertain thing. Another reason Is
that his present work is considered by
him to be congenial considerably more
congenial than the task Of administration.
Those two are the main reasons why an
OK team could not drag Charles Evans
Hughes out Of his justices chair and into
the running for the presidency; but
doubtless there are other good reasons
why the Republican party might a. well
make up its mind that Hughes Is dead
