Manse and Tavern Were Once Neigh,

DORIS.
In many New England towns the
old manses viii be found close "a some
ancient tavern as well as hard BY the
village church. For all their Puritsni-
cal ordinances. our forefathers quite
reversed our modern law. which up 10
the time of prohibition forbade the
sale of liquor within certain distance
of any church. and granted licenses un-
der the express condition that the tav-
ern must be located near by. There
were two reasons for this: The deadly
atmosphere Of the unheated meeting
houses in winter demanded some place
near at hand where the male portion
Of the congregation az least might re-
pair between sessions hence the wide
open houses Of entertainment" which
were often kept by men of the high
est standing in the town and church.
The law against excessive tipping was
very severe and the nearness TO the
parsons dwelling gave him better
opportunity to watch out for offenders.
Recent investigation has brought TO
light the fact that around the corner
from the South Parish manse, vas
once located = tavern known as "rhe
Sign Of the Horseshoe" kept by one
Deacon William Chandler, who was
man Of good repute, according 20 the
records.
Though undue tipping" was frowncd
upon. moderate consumption of spiritu-
Gus drinks was universally INDUCED in
even by the strict dominies them
selves. 80 general was their inJul-
gene in a little for "the stomach's
sake" that the total abstinence Of Rev.
Mr.. Marsh of the old CongreCs. iogal

A SOLITARY FIGURE.
Arthur Griffith, Editor Of "Young ire

/ Dublin, Aug. 9.--Arthur Griffith, cdi
tor of Young Ireland, and the political
head of Sim Fem, is said to be one
of the most isolated and inaccessible
men in Ireland, The few visitors daily
received by him say they are impressed
by the unpretentiousness of his sur
roundings. He is as difficult to see,
they say, as any big American politi-
cal leader.
No person not known to Griffith may
visit him in his Office without previous
arrangements made by someone high in
the confidence of Sim Fein. The sit :
uation is much the same as stranger
| attempting to interview with .'abnet
officer in Washington.
Relieved that the irksome prelimi-
naries have ended the stranger is TAX
en- down a side street, ushered into an
unimposing doorway and led up two
flights of narrow, implanted steps TO
an office Inside the front door the
stranger is confronted with a pine
board partition with one small door
through which he is taken. He passes
through scene familiar in any small
town newspaper into an uninvlt'ng
room where Griffith holds forth. The
furniture consists of table in the
middle of the room and a few chairs.
There is no necessity now or has
there been for many months for Crit
fifth TO surround his movements with
secrecy. 1t has been stated that a
warrant for his arrest is ready but
many leading Sim Feiners believe GOV
eminent officials consider him n:oder-
ating influence and worth more direct
ing the party's activities than looked
upon as a martyr in Jail.
Griffith is as unassuming as his sur
roundings are unpretentious. 70 one
who does not express convictions en-
the Irish question and therefore safety
does not have any, Griffith leaves out
standingly the impression that he has
ceased to believe any English govern
ment in Ireland exists. The one IDEA

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION

Nearly 500 people attended the
dance given by Fred H. Perkins Fri
day evening to celebrate the compile
tion and opening Of his new garage on
Union street. The large concrete drive
way in front and part of the inside Of
the garage was used for dancing, bran
and corn meal having been sprinkled
over the concrete to make it easier for
dancing Electric lights were strung
from the garage to the end OF Union
street and across the lawn in front of
| Rev. H. l.. Thornton's house, where ice
cream and cake were on sale, served by
| the ladies of the Universalist church.
Emery's orchestra of Hartland, which
! furnished music for dancing, was sta
| toned in one side of the garage. Punch
was served by Mr.. Perkins free of
charge to all present The dance lasted
| until | o'clock a. M, fashion and mod
ern dances being enjoyed. A collection
was taken for the benefit of the repair
fund of the Universalist church. Mr.,
Perkins garage is one of the finest and
best equipped in this vicinity. It has
four stalls for cars, and has a pit
for working underneath and equipment
for raising cars from the floor in or
der to work upon them. There are also
cupboards and drawers for tools, and
every convenience for repairing of au
tos. The second floor of the garage is
given over to very modern little
four room tenement for the chauffeur,
having hard wood floors, electric lights
and every modern convenience. A large
sum of money was realized for the
benefit of the church. Everyone spent
