THE MORE THEY TRY, THE
MORE THEY HELP.

The strangest thing about the
Brandeis case is the remarkable way
in which all the blows aimed at
him not only glance off, but help
to make him stronger AS we before
remarked, the opposition of Clifford
Thorne has won over the railroads
to Mr. Brandeis. The opposition Of
President lowell has only served
to unite the alumni and the students
of Harvard in MIR. Brandeis sup
port The attempt of hard-shell
Bostonians to prove that Mr.. Bran
deis is lacking in respectability has
stimulated the interest Of lawyers
who are not corporation-oWned in
his silent fight for confirmation. The
last touch in this strange drama OF
our time is provided by former
President Taft, whose opposition to
Mr.. Brandeis was counted upon by
those seeking to have him rejected
to give death blow to his candi
dacv. 1t now turns out that Mr..
Taft has only discredited himself in
view of the fact that the only motive
that can be assigned for his antagon-
ism is the recollection of Brandeis'
effective work in helping to Oust
Ba1linger. Thus, Taft now calls at
tention to the disgraceful part he had
in the effort to save the sinister
Secretary who sought to betray the
people, \ Washington correspon-
dent puts the matter pointedly as
follows: 'In his letter to the Sen
ate subcommittee, Mr.. Taft asserted
that Mr.. Brandeis' conception of the
ethics of the profession, as we'll as
his general reputation for trust
worthiness, was not such as to en-

ELECTRICITY IS THE THING.

When kerosene oil displaced the
old tallow candle people were hap
py and at once discarded the old
mode of lighting With the advent
of gas another material improve
ment in the system of lighting was
made which at once became popu
lar. But greater advance than
either of these is the electric light
ing system. It is like magic. You
press the button and the light is
there, wherever you want it.
Having electricity installed it may
be used for number of other pur
poses to add to the convenience ard
comfort of the household. An exc
trio fan keeps the house cool; an
electric iron enables any member of
the household to do a little iron
ing without overheating herself;
other electric appliances permit light
cooking in the presence of company
and in fact at the festive table.
No residence is home now if it
is not equipped with electricity.
The Minneapolis General Electric
Co., Is S. 5th ST.. will assist any
householder to have a proper system
installed. For full information call

GIFT TO ATHENAEUM.
Venerable Old Timekeeper Did Duty
At EdsOn's Tavern in 1893.

The following is an interesting his
tory of the old clock which has just
been presented to the Athenaeum and
which has been set up between the
north windows:
In 1899 valuable clock was keep
/ ing the time of day in Edson's TaV-
ern on the old Center Village road.
1t stood nearly eight feet high in a
case of mahogany finish, carved on
its dial the daily time tables, notation
of the days of the week and of the
changes of the moon. 1t cost the
owner SIS and was the first clock of
which any mention is made in the
early history of the town, the only
one of any considerable value within
the limits of the town for many years.
When Edison removed to Ohio in
1909 this clock was not on the wag-
on load of goods from which wagon
a wheel had been stolen on the night
before. The clock remained in St.
Johnsbury, having been sold to ANA
ziah D. Barber, storekeeper and post
master on the plains. Some years la
ter Barber sold it to John Clark,
whose house, subsequently owned by
B. B. Clark, Esq, still sits quietly on
it's original site at the head of Clark's
avenue. This house was IOW-pOSte0,
and the body of the clock case had
to be cut down some six or eight
inches in order to get a standing; also
the bottom was cut out to give lon
ger run for the weights.
About 1880 the clock was purchas-
ed by Charles S. and George H. Hast
ings, who after 36 years ownership
have now presented it to the Athen-
aenum. Here it is set up to it's orr
ginal height between the north win
dows of the reading room and start
ed on a new run of usefulness, which
it is calculated will cover an indefinite
number of centuries. The gift will be
highly valued not only by the institu-
tuition to which it is a venerable or
nament, but by citizens of St. Johns
bury, who will here see the only time
keeper that has been on duty in the
town during part of three centuries,
and is still as capable of delivering
the time of day, the day of the week
and the size of the moon as in the
days of it's youth, III years ago. 4
The bronze plate on the clock reads
as follows:
The first clock in this town. own
ed by Nathaniel Edison, town clerk, in
1899. Presented the Athaeneum in
1915 by Chas. s. and Geo. H Hastings,
grandsons of Joel Hastings, a pioneer
of 1892.

BAD WEATHER
SPOILS FOURTH
Hundreds Of People Gave Up Out
ings Planned for the Day Because
of the Steady Rain
PREVENTS BALL GAMES
Independence Day As a Whole Was
One of the Quietest In Years
Very Little Damage and No
Casualties Are Reported
Bullet Breaks Window.

Many were the disapointments in
st. Johnsbury when the morning of
the Fourth found the skies heavily
clouded and the rain falling in tor
rents
1t is safe to say that the majority
Of people had their plans arranged to
celebrate the day in one way or an
other, either at one Of the celebra-
tions held in surrounding towns or
in camps at some lake or pond; 9TH
ers were planning an auto trip to the
mountains and through the notches
but one look at the weather and the
stock took a sudden drop. Many
braved the weather and took a chance
on its clearing up, and carried out
their original plans; others gave up
all hope and settled down for a quiet
day at home.
The celebrations at Newport, st.
Johnsbury Center, East Concord and
the Old Red Schoolhouse in Whee-
lock were said to have been well at
tended. Many went from st. Johns
bury to the different towns and many
more had plans to go but stayed in
town because Of the weather.
The day was very quiet in st. Johns
bury and with the exception of the de-
sultory firing of revolvers there was
almost a Sabbath calm. The people
lodged in and out between showers
and the only recreation seemed to be
in going to the movies.
The ball games scheduled for morn
ing and afternoon between the local
team and the Barre Athletic club had
to be called off.
A large crowd of fans were pretty
much disappointed, as all were eager
to see the first home games Of the
season and to get line on the
strength of the local aggregation.
But after looking the ball grounds
over in the morning it was decided
that about the only proper way a
game could be staged would be in
row boats.
Everything was comparatively or
derly during the night before and on
the Fourth, up to a late hour last
night no arrests had been made by
the police force and the excitement
was gradually dying down.

Especial to The Caledonian.)

Especial to The Caledonian.)
East Concord, July 4.-The cele-
bration of the Fourth was carried
out here as planned. Although the
mud was deep and rain fell at short
intervals throughout the day it in no
way dampened the enthusiasm Of the
large crowd of people who attended
from the surrounding towns.
The horribles parade was finally
managed and many floats and individ-
uaI take-offs were in line when the
parade started at 10 a. m. Music by
the LittIeton Military band, which
gave a number of fine concerts was
one of the best features of the day.
A ball game between the East
Concord team and a team from Lit
Teton resulted in a win for the form
er by a score of to 6. The game
though played on a wet ground was
interesting because of the close score.
In the tug of war, the team from
Concord failed to arrive so team Of
Italians was picked to pull against
the East Concord team which won
two out Of three pulls.
In the other athletic events the
winners were as follows: Orange
second, Fay Hartman. Bicycle race,
first, Allie Briggs; second, Wesley
Seace. Mems 1OO-yard dash, Ezra
Fisher Boys 100-yard dash, Amos
Blood and Clifton Hastings won first
and second prizes respectively. The
sack race was won by Allie Briggs,
second prize going to Alden Philips.

Hudson as Uncle Sam, won the first
prize in the parade, and the second
prize was awarded to a float in a.
''take-off' on the local creamery.

DR.. ALLEN HAS A NARROW
ESCAPE In AUTO MISHAP

DR.. ]. NJ Allen narrowly escaped
serious injury Tuesday morning
when his auto slipped under the
gates of the Portland street railroad
crossing and was struck by the yard
engine. The engine jammed the
auto up against the sign post, the
post preventing the overturning of
the machine. as it was sideswiped by
the locomotive. DR.. Allen kept his
seat and was unhurt. although the
car was quite badly damaged.
The accident occurred about 7.30
when on his way to a call. DR.. Allen
turned the corner at Railroad and
Portland streets and was proceeding
at moderate pace down the hill
when the gates began to lower. He
applied his brakes too late and as
the pavement was wet the car slip
ped under the gates and came to a
full stop on the crossing. The shift
er coming from the direction of the
station struck the car and though
the brakes were applied the impetus
was enough to throw the auto
around parallel with the tracks and
wedge ita between the crossing dan
ger sign and the engine.

BULLET GOES THROUGH WINDOW
30 CalibeP Slug Breaks Glass I'm
Avenue House Tower.


A bullet of 80 caliber was shot
through window of one Of the
rooms in the tower Of the Avenue
House some time during the night
before the Fourth. The room the bull
let entered is directly over the writ
ing room Of the hotel. 1t is not
known at what time il happened as no
one seems to have heard the break
ing glass Judging from the nature Of
the break the shot seems TO have
been fired from some place nearly on
level with the window, possibly
from a window in some block on the
opposite side of the street. But
whether accidently done or not is not
known, but the indications are that
a real cartridge became mixed with
the blanks and in the darkness was
inserted in the gun. Owing TO the
convex surface Of the heavy plate
glass the force Of the bullet was
spent and did no damage to the in
terror Of the room. The bullet was
picked up from the floor Of the room
and proved to be Of common 80 cali
ber.
