Campaign for Aged Methodist
Ministers.

The first gun in the statewide cam
a $4,000 for the pensioning of aged
preachers was fired Wednesday night
when Bishop E. E. Hugher of Boston
spoke at the opening meeting held at
the Grace Methodist church. Judge
Harland B. Howe spoke at the supper
served by the ladies of the church in
the dining room before the mass meet
ing held in the auditorium.
The ladies served a bountiful supper
to a large number of diners between
six and seven O'Clock. Judge Harland
B. Howe who was introduced at that
time told of the immense debt owed
by the members of the church organ
ization to the: aged preachers. The
debt to them he said had been piling
up for years until even the interest
had become staggering. He said it
was the duty. of every person in YER
mont Methodism to- get behind the
movem emit in order that the aged pas
tors at the close of their years of
ministry might be properly provided
for. y -
Bishop Hughes presented the cause
in the manner which has won for him
recognition as one of the greatest plat
form speakers in the country He
urged that serious attention and work
be given the vast project under way.
Dividing his address in three divisions,
relation, obligation and exMtation,' -
the bishop led UP to the relation of
each to the other, Of the obligation
incurred and the -exuItation of dis
charging that obligation.

Prof. Porter will coach the squad.
Although experience of the last few
years has not been very encouraging

team is not very good and especially
in the back field there seems to be a
lack of suitable men. About 35 re-

Court Room Notes.

Much comment has been heard
upon the efficient manner in which
Judge Frank L. Fish conducted the
trial of Mrs. Remission. Among
those who followed the trial from
day to day the concensus of opinion
seems to be that he was absolutely
and prosecution in deciding points in
argument. 1t has been said there
was very little chance for verbal fire
works between the attorneys as the
judges good natured yet final rulings
prevented any such pyrotechnical dis
play. Judge Fish left town yesterday
for Burlington where it is expected he
will preside at the September term
of the Chittenden county court.
Il
Attorney General Barber made
many friends in town during the trial
OF Mrs. Remission. His genial man
ner both in and out of court and his
so-called "cool persuasiveness,' has
been remarked, but possibly one of
the highest tributes heard at any time
during the past days was made by a
prominent citizen of the place, who
Sd1G III SpetkIlS OI min ne Is d gen
tleman." Contrary to the general ex-
pectation he does not intend to go to
ST. Adams to take part in the murder
trial of Robert Warm. He left yes
terday for Brattleboro.
It was noticed at the close of the
testimony Monday, the stenographers
seemed at least satisfied that a large
part of their task in court had been
completed. Miss Nelson, court re-
porter, Miss Austin, stenographer for
the Attorney General, and Miss Wells
of the counsel for the defense were
more than noticeably busy during the
days of the trial
Assistant Judges Dole and Woodruff
were largely responsible, it is said.
for the speed with which the jury was
chosen. Their aid in summoning
talesmen and attending to many de-
tails accelerated the proceedings and
consequently, as it has been stated

by those of a mathematical turn of
mind, aided in reducing the costs for
the state.
The fight put up by Attorneys
Porter and Writer'S in the endeavor to
gain an acquittal of their client has
been spoken of more than once by
persons who noted that they fought
at every turn of the, case. While
conducting their examination of wit
nesses in somewhat of contrast to
the methods of the attorneys for the
state, yet no one has been heard to
say they were not effective.

Mrs Alvin Remission, convicted of
the murder of little Alice Bradshaw
on July last, was Wednesday morning
sentenced to the state prison at Wind
sor for the rest of her natural life by
the presiding judge, Frank L. Fish.
AS the condemned woman approached

She remained calm and impassive as
the term of Imprisonment was given.
John kerwin, confessed accessory
after the fact, received a sentence of
not more than three nor less than two
years at hard labor in the states pris-
on. Application by Attorney Dunnett
May Hicks, the other respondent held
for murder was denied by Judge Fish,
and also a motion to allow the de-
PENDANT liberty on bail.
The court room was almost desert
ed as the final proceedings in the
murder trial which has packed the
room with spectators nearly every day
took place. Mrs. Remission and John
Kerwin both occupied a front seat
outside the bar as the session con-
vened. Kerwin sat alone, but Mrs.
Remission was accompanied by her
husband. Neither of the two awaiting
sentence looked at the other, both
keeping their eyes averted.

meant what he said. Mr.. Lawrence
allowed that" he was as good as his
word, and told them they might in
vestigate the field and if they wanted
the potatoes for $40 they might have
them. They accepted his offer.
Each afternoon Messrs. Braley and
May can be found ON the Lawrence
farm digging, not acres of diamonds,
but their acre of potatoes. They Sex-
pect to get from 40 to so bushels OF
potatoes. They are game and making
no complaint, but did suggest to Mp
Lawrence that he had beaten them d
little because they think there is more
than an acre of the potatoes. ~
The sale of a good big acre Of POI
tatoes for $40 in the ground, is d
record low price for this season, and
shows what a failure the potato crop
is this season. The men report that
the potatoes are very uneven. Iii
some spots they are quite good and in
others they are good for nothing

that we speedily reached the water

Hiking back UP wasn't SO funny, or
so speedy either, and when we did
finally regain the hut were tired
out. We locked our tin doors and
windows and turned in*for the night.
All went well for an hour or SO. Then
it began to thunder and lightning and
rain, at first gently. then harder and
harder. AT II o'clock the wind blew
so that the hut fairly rocked. During

spattered itself over nay face and

shower blew, over, and we set sail for
