The passenger train service on the Cen
{ trail Vermont railway was considerably
out OF joint Thursday by derailments.
The southbound night sleeper was de-
rallied near Evarts and, according to the
report given here by passengers arriving
on one OF the trains, was due to brok-
en- rail which threw two of the cars off
the iron, blocking the track until we'll
into the afternoon, or about IL hours
The afternoon mail train was held at
White River junction long enough to get
the connection, although it is understood
that it was first planned to run the train
without waiting for the New York con-
nection. In addition to this trouble, the
milk train, due here about noon, was de-
layed about two hours at Randolph for
a similar cause. This delayed the south
bound mail train about the same length
of time.

Loafng about the stations along the
Central Vermont railway will not be par

which have been sent out in a circular
letter are put in force all along the line.
The letter provides that the railway
company is in harmony with the fuel
conservation and that where waiting
room can be closed without inconvenience
to the public that such is to take place.
However, it is not understood that the
new regulation will materially change
the manner in which the local station has
been handled Perhaps little more care
about closing the doors will prevail

York, which appears at Burlington at
the Majestic theatre on. Sunday after
noon under the management of Arthur
W. Dow, studied at the Conservatory of
Music of Moscow during the golden DAYS
of that institution when the faculty in

Safanoff, Arensky and Taneff and among
the students were four who have since
achieved wide renown, Josef Lhevinnc,
Petchnikoff, Rachmanioff and Mr.. Alt

Among the happy memories of those
days is one which is recalled by signed
photograph which Lhevinne gave to Alt
sehuler years afterward, bearing the fol-
lowing inscription: in memory of that
famous dinner
"Lhevinne came to me one day." Mr.
Altschuler tells the story" and said that
he had ten rubles TO spend for dinner and
asked me to be his guest. That seemed
princely sum in those days, especially
for two poor music students, and tasted
all day long in preparation for the feast
The dinner was served and was perfect in
every respect. I've never tasted any
thing like it since. The waiter was most
attentive and for good two hours
brought course after course and then at
last we sat over our cigars dreaming of
the future fame that was to come to
US. But there was a rude awakening.
At length the waiter presented the check

It possible to believe there was a

when he did he was surprised at the
sad little figure who sat pathetioally

smiled. Then ho realized that her
smile meant great deal to him, that
she had been smiling for many months
