Russia Not to Bar Winss.

Petrograd, via London. July 3.--The
prohibition bill passed by the >duma
which on first analysis was interpreted
az embracing all kinds Of alcoholic
drinks now has been found to contain
m unpublished clause which makes an
exception Of wines not containing more
than 19 per cent alcohol. The bill, as
first pubfis.ed, would have meant ruin
for the immense vineyard interests OF
South Russia, the Crimea and the
Caucasus.
-Sales Of the excepted wines will be
permitted in wine producing districts
and In towns in other regions where
local option declares otherwise.

North Troy's New Church.

The new Catholic church edifice, now
in process of erection on the corner of
Pleasant street and Highland avenue,
North Troy, is to be 40 feet wide and
100 feet in length, part shingles and
part clapboard outside covering, with a
deep cement basement of about nine
feet. The present contract between
the Catholic diocese of Burlington, and
Henry E. Chamb erin, contractor of
that place, calls for the erection of the
building, with external completion as
far as the framework is involved and
for the structure to be lathed within,
ready for the plasterers but there is
no provision with regard to the interi-
or finish and, consequently, that is a
subject for later contract. No def
mite time is contractually provided for
the completion of work now under
way but it is intended and hoped to
have the building as near completion
as possible by Thanksgiving time.
Probably before the work to be done
under present contract Is hnlshed ar
rapgements. by extension OF present
contract or otherwise, will be made
for the completion of the interior work,
so that the church will be in readiness
for use by early winter. The bulloing
is one of the most desirable sites IN
town, where, when completed. 1T will
occupy pleasant eminence IN the VII
lage yet slightly removed from the
busiest section. 1t is said that the
church building will be one OF the
most imposing in this section, and
every indication at present points TO
that conclusion.

HUGHES FOR ARBITRATION.
He Would Be First to Accord to Labor
All Rights Found Just After
Consideration.

In hts Maine speeches Mr.. Hughes
made it plain that he was not attack
ing labor or the equity Of the pro-
posed increase Of wages for the rail-
road men. He was simply contending
for the al important principle of arbi-
tration as the right means of settle
ment of such questions. Speaking at
different places in Maine MIR. Hughes
dwelt upon this question, saying:
II deeply deplOre, in the name of
labor, In the name of justice, in the
name Of American ideals, the surren-
der of the Executive and Of Congress
to force, instead Of permitting reason
10 reign.
1.-THE measure 10 which I have allud-
ed was not, properly speaking, an
eight-hour measure. It was a wage
measure. It was a plain proposition
for a change in the wage scale. I do
not speak Of the equity of that. That
is matter to be fairly considered. I
want what is just and right with re-
spect to wages. I am for the arbitra-
ton and the peaceful settlement of
these industrial controversies. We
can settle everything in this country
IL we approach those matters with a
fair and open mind and an eXamina-
ton Of the facts.
"This particular measure shows on
its face that 1t was legislation in ad
vance Of the investigation, instead Of
investigation in advance Of legisla-
ton. It is said that there was In its
favor the judgment of society. The
judgment Of society in this country
has never been passed in favor Of leg
fslation without knowledge Of the equi-
ty and regardless Of the facts of the
case. There was no judgment Of So
ciety in favor Of the roads which were
excepted from its provisions. If there
was Judgment Of society, why not ap-
ply the rule to electric or other kinds
Of roads or roads less than 100 miles
In length? I say, away with such pre-
tense! It was a surrender to force in
stead Of clear, candid, faithful franz
ed examination Of the facts, and then
action in accordance with American
principles.
"Autocracy represents force; tyran-
ny represents force. Democracy rep
resents the rule Of the common judg-
ment after discussion, after an oppor-
tunity to know the facts"

"'Structure' is good" laughed Stella,
regarding our little six-foot-1ong and
eighteen-inch-high piece of engineering.
We shouted for Peter, and ran to
the nearest stone wall, Juggling back
some fat stones, which we placed di-
rectly below the dam for the overflow
to fall on. Then, while Stella sat on
the bank and watched the water rise,
I shoveled some of the earth removed
from the basin into the now abandoned
temporary channel and packed it down.
"Say, we can have fish in here"
cried Peter who was also watching
the water rise.
"You can have a four-legged fish,"
laughed Stella, as Buster came down
the bank with gleefuI bark and went
splash into the pool, emerging to shake
himself and spray US all.
I had scarce finished filing In the
temporary trench, and was setting the
poor uprooted plants back into the bed.

simultaneous shout from Peter and
Stella.

1 faced around just in time to see
the first line Of the water crawling
over the top Of the dam, and a second
later it splashed on the stones below;
behind 1t came the waterfall.

''Oh, it's a real WATERFALL" she cried.
"I've got real waterfall all my own!

From the grove below it certainly
did look pretty, flashing in the morning
sun. "And when there are iris bios

Rome, I'm afraid"
We went back and surveyed our pool
at close range. 1t was clearing now.
But the second pile Of earth remained
to be removed from the west side. Pc
ter and I carried that off in wheelbar-
rows at once, dumping part Of it into
the hole where we had dug the sand,
and the rest into heap behind some
bushes upstream for future compost.
Then we climbed the orchard slope for
dinner. Midway we looked back.
There glistened our pool, twenty-foot
brown crystal mirror, with the four
do oil tho
ragged weeds and bushes pressing
them close, and beyond it only the
rough ground I had cleared with a
brush scythe, and the scraggly trees by
| the wall.
"Alas," said 1, ''now we've built a
pool, we've got to build a whole gar
den to go with it!''
"But it tinkles! Hear it tinklev'
| cried Stella.
We listened, hand in hand. The tiny
waterfall was certainly tinkling, a
cool, delicate, plashy sound, which
mingled with the sound Of the breeze
in the trees above our heads, and the
sweet twitterings Of birds.
ooh, John, it's a very nice dam, and
very nice world!' she whispered, as
we went through the door. "And, after
all, it seems to me the greatest fun of
gardening is all the nice other things
it makes you want to do after you've
done the first One."
