Il Ohnsbury Council to Attend An
nual Gathering in Burlington
Planning Big Parade.

One of the live organizations of
this village expects to do little adj
vertising for st. Johnsbury that will
attract some attention across Yer
mont and in many sections of New
England. 1t is ST. Johnsbury Coun-
ell, No. 24O, U. c. T. on its tour to the
annual convention of Grand Coun-
Gil of New England to be held in Bur-
lington, June 8, and 5. ST. Johns
bury band will be taken there by the
council and rs men and SO ladies
have indicated their intention of 60
ing as Representatives of the local
council. Thirty automobiles have
been engaged to transport the party.
The entire fifth floor of Hotel Yer
mont and % rooms in the Van Ness
have been engaged for the party in
Burlington while the band will be
located at another hotel.
The automobiles will all carry ban
ners with the words "St. Johnsbury
No. 24O, u. G. T." which will tell what
town is travelling that day, Thursday,
June 3, being the day for going over.
For the grand parade arranged for
Saturday the st. Johnsbury band will
be in readiness and all the st. Johns
bury party will be arrayed in white
uniforms, white caps with black vi
sors, suits trimmed with gold and
on the coat lapels a badge st. J. and
on the coat sleeves the letters U. G.
T. They will also carry canes with
st. Johnsbury banners. The mem
bers of the council who have been
making the arrangements expect that
ST. Johnsbury will attract a great
deal of att2ntion as the result of it's
striking appearance.

the machines but was obliged to run
to escape being run over. G.. M.
Berry, Harry Demick, John Brown
and p f. Craft were also called and
testified that the autos were being
run at a rate of from % to 35 miles
an hour.
Messrs. French and Clark testi-
fed that they were running from Is
to 20 miles an hour, Mr.. Clark
claiming that a Ford car could not
be run over 80 miles an hour. The
state called M. G.. Garfield, who tes-
titled he had run his For car at the
rate of 40 miles an hour. The main
defense is that the two men were
not running their cars in a negligent
or dangerous manner and that the
rate of speed does not determine the
negligence or danger of the opera
ton of the car.

These passengers on the Cunard
liner Orduna from Liverpool escaped
the fate of passengers on the Lusi-
tania because the aim of the German
submarine commander who attacked
their vessel, July 9, was not as good as
that of the German who sent more than
1000 to the bottom on the larger
Cunarder.

Among Passengers.


NEW YORK, July 23.-With 1875
passengers on board, including eight
Americans and 10000 tons of general
cargo the Orduna of the Cunard Line
sailed yesterday for Liverpool
There was no evidence on the part
of the passengers or Capt. Thomas Me
Comb Taylor, her commander, that
the thought of attack by German
submarine would again occur, and also
there was no attempt to prevent
friends of departing passengers from
going on board before the steamship
departed. All baggage was examined
and the hand baggage brought by pas
sengers underwent close examina-
ton before it was brought on board.
There were no Americans in the first
cabin but in the second cabin were

How to Be Safe from Lightning.

In the August Woman s Home Com
panion, Rollin Lynde Hartt writes an
intensely interesting page entitled
Lets Talk About the Weather. = He
tells what the signs of rain are, and
he also describes some of the phe.
nomena of thunder and lightning. He
says that lightning hits cows oftenel
than people, barns oftener than houses
country dwellings oftener than city
dwellings, trees at the edge of a wood
oftener than those in the thick of it
oaks oftener than naples, and human
beings outdoors oftener than human
beings indoors.
l He then gives the following advice
as to what to do in case of lightning;
Run for a house-not a barn. :.
Once inside house, stay there. By
actual count, it is fourteen times az
safe as outdoors.
Outdoors, it is another tale, fol
shelter under trees. Don't misunder

continuing to favor beaded and
spangled tunics and dress trimmings

such wonderful things are wrought by

just to take their places. Besides, the
variety possible in using these vehicles
is unending.
Nearly all the tunics, coatees and
overdresses that glimmer and sparkle
with sequins or beads are made of net
to which the beads or spangles are
sewed. But occasionally a splendid
tunic or dress ornament is made entire
