THE WERRANRATH
ENGLISH RECITAL
A MUSICAL TREAT
More St. JOhnsbury People
Should Have Heard
This Artist
is MUCH APPRECIATED
This Well Known Concert Singer Has
Voice the Equal of Which Sell
dom Comes Here

1t is to be regretted that more ST.
Johnsbury people did not avail them
selves of the opportunity to heal
Renald Werrenrath in an all English
recital given by him in the Colonial
Thursday night.
The audience altho not large, was
appreciative and Mr.. Werrenrath was
generous with encores. He displayed
none of the temperament sometimes
affecting musical artists when they do
not seem at their best unless singing
to crowded houses.
He sang by request some old favor
ties of victrola fans including
"Drink to me only with Thine Eyes"
and "Fuzzy, Wuzzy," the latter re-
ceiving as much applause as any num-
Der, altho the old familiar "Lost
Chord" was received enthusiastically.
His rendition of the Chinese
Mother Goose Rhymes was given in
a humorous way which was a delight
to all. Mr.. Werrenrath was accom-
panied by Harry Spicer, who tours
with him.
The program follows:
Rect "From the Rage of the Tenn
pest"
Aria "Hear Me, Ye Winds and
Waves"
Some Rival Has Stolen My True
Love Away
h iffIo Mo1,x, HocciJxr
C Over the Hills and Far Away
d The Pretty Creature
Old Time Concert Favorites
a The Sands O. Dee
b Gypsy John
C Punchinello
d The Lost Chord
Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes
Lady Bug
Baby is Sleeping
What the Old Cow Said
The Mouse
Of What Use is a Girl
Pat a Cake
The Old Woman
a At the Last
b Tell Me Not of a Lovely Lass
C Homing
d Smilin' Through
e A Khaki Lad
This we'll known concert singer not
only has a voice the equal of which
is rarely heard in a town of this
size but pleasing personality as
well. 1t is worthy of note also that
Mr.. Werrenrath received all of his
musical education in this country.
This doubtless is the biggest must
cal treat of the year and all credit is
due to the efforts of Mrs. Schultz who
made the recital possible.

er, while Mr.. Hastings was leaning
over another piece Of equipment to
see where the leak was on the back
side, preparatory to marking for re-
pairs. Ben Batchelder, repair man,
stood at the bench on the other side
of the little shop, somewhat out of
the range Of the explosion but not so
far away that he escaped being show
cred with glass.
Without warning the machine blew
up, one of the side pieces Of cast iron
flying away from the men and going
entirely through the wooden outer
wall Of the shop. The top section of
so pounds of cast iron shot straight
up and smashed a hole in some new
half-inch seathing and then dropped
back to the floor with sufficient force
to dislodge one of the boards. The
air pressure left scarcely whole
window pane nj the whole shop, and
the glass was flying in all directions,
the three men being showered with
fragments. The two plate glass win
dows in the store in the front of the
shop were reduced to fragments, the
sidewalk being strewn with the
wreckage, while the floor was almost
literally covered with glass.
Both Mr.. Hastings and Mr. Carrick
were considerably cut about the face
and hands from flying fragments and
the latter was soon taken to an eye
physician to have his injuries attend
ed to.

STATE NEWS
Interesting Old Newspaper

An interesting newspaper 80 years
old is possessed by B. H. Davis, OF
Washington, it being a copy of the
Democratic Statesman, published a.
Windsor, under date of August %,
1896. The newspaper is somewhat col
ored by age but is readily legible.
Evidences show that The Democratic
Statesman was valiant supporter OF
Martin Van Buren, for president and
Richard M. Johnson for vice-presi-
dent, while in state politics it stood
for William C. Bradley for governor
and John S. Pettibone for lieutenant
governor. An interesting item is a
brief account of commencement at the
institution just founded by Capt. AL
den Partridge at Norwich and which
in 1884 was chartered by the state of
Vermont as Norwich university. The
contemporary opinion of the college,
as expressed by The Windsor Demo-
cratic Statesman, was as follows:
owe attended commencement at the
Norwich institution, last Thursday.
The institution certainly begins with
high honor. President Partridge gave
a learned and interesting address, and
the whole performance of the young
men under his charge would have re-
fected credit upon our oldest col
leges."
