SERVICES
AT NEWPORT
Churches Have unusually
Impressive and Well
Attended Exercises

Easter Sunday was observed by
all the churches of Newport both
Catholic and Protestant with spe-
cial music and elaborate services
and were profusely decorated
with beautiful flowers and plants.
All too were filled with throngs
Of joyful worshippers, and many
happy hearts must have echoed
the words of the psalmist, 81 was
glad when they said unto me, let
Us go into the house of the Lord.
The services at the Congrega-
tlOnal were very noteworthy. 1t
was a red letter day in the history
of the church, and a memorable
one in the eleven years pastorate
of Rev. L. A. Edwards. Thirty
six persons united with the church
at the morning service, nearly all
on confession of faith. This is
the largest number to unite with
the church at one time, and it is
also the largest class ever receiv-
ed by Rev. L. A. Edwards.
Another feature of great inter
est was the baptism of eight in
fants and young children, Theo-
dore Hall Buck, Robert Horton
Hamblett, Geraldine Juanita Rush,
Frank Williams Hamilton, Charles
Myron Clapper, Helen Taylor,
lola Anne Rawson, William Ed
ward Douglass Kipp.
Those received into the church
by letter are: Mr.. and Mrs. c. w.
Seaver, Mrs. Fred Kenerson, Mr..
and Mrs. +. A. Hunt, Mrs. Sarah
p. Clark, Miss Beulah Gray, Bea-
trice Farman, Clarence Wells. On
confession of faith: Mr.. and Mrs.

Aucldlue II pHIty, lOyu ODcIl,
Miss Clara Richmond.
The Rev. W. S. Beard, national
secretary of the Board of Promo
ton for Congregational Missions,
was the speaker at the morning
service and his message made it
very clear to his hearers that
Easter, the most wonderful day in
the christian year, should be for
all recognition of the great need
of the world.
At the evening service Mr..
Beard gave an informal talk or
story as he called it on the Little
White Church or the Hill.
The music was especially good,
with Mrs. F. r Wright at the
organ ana a double quartette, Mrs.
Delos Buck, Mrs. John Wilson,
Mrs. Annie Davis, Miss Helen
Savage, II W. Spear, DR.. H. F.

TO THROW new
LIGHT ON AIM
OF LECI0NERS
Col. II. Nelson JasksOn to
Speak Thursday Night
at ArmOry

Col. H. Nelson jackson, Nation
al Vice Commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, will be the principal
speaker at a meeting at the St.
Johnsbury Armory Thursday ev-
ening, when an insight into the
real purposes and aims of the
American Legion will be given the
public. Other speakers will in
clude Allen Fletcher, Vermont de-
partment adjutant, Robert w.
McCuen, Burt S. Hyland, depart
ment commander and John Sulli-
van, national executive committee
member.
Believing that the public at
large is not aware of just what the
American Legion is, and what it
stands for, the members of w. r..
Knapp post No. SO of st. Johns
bury have hit upon the idea of this
meeting as sort of clearing
house to explain fully the position
of the American Legion. What the
Legion has done in the past and
what it proposes to do in the fu-
ture will also be minutely dealt
with at this meeting.
If anyone has the idea imbedded
in his head that the American
Legion has been organized solely
as a "good time contingent, that
idea will be dispelled by the
speeches that members of the
American Legion prominent in
Vermont will make on Thursday
evening. The high aspirations of
Legionaire will be the trend of
the speakers at the meeting, which
is thrown open to the public as
we'll as to all eX-service men
whether members of the Legion
or not.
A particularly interesting fea-
ture of the meeting will be an ac-
count of what the local post of
the American Legion has done IN
the past, especially in the way OF
aid to needy veterans of the
World-War. Many eX-serVce men
both in St. Johnsbury and IN the
vicinity have been helped since the
signing OF the armlstice.
All eX-service men are urged by
the local committee to be present
at the meeting, where they Will
learn much about the American
Legion that they have not been
completely aware of. The public
is cordially invited to attend.

DANIELSDAMACE
CASE WENT TO
JURY TODAY
Evidence Completed and
Arguments Were Made
Tuesday Forenoon

The trial of the case of Vera
Daniels, administrators, against the
Boston and Maine railroad, which
was started in the United States
District court at Montpelier last
week, was continued in Burlington
Monday afternoon and the evil
dence completed early Tuesday
forenoon. Searles and Graves OF
St. Johnsbury are the attorneys
for the plaintiff and made able
pleas for their client. The last
argument will be made early
Tuesday afternoon and it is ex-
pected that the charge of Judge
Harland B. Howe will be complet-
ed so that the case will go to the
jury Tuesday afternoon before ad-
iournment.
Among the last evidence admit
ted was the deposition of George
II. Drown, who is sick and was
in poor health when the case was
first set for trial in January, and
this is why it was postponed to
the present time. He said in his
deposition that he had an impress
sion that he saw the vehicle APP
proach the crossing before the en-
glne struck it.
Evidence shuttled back and
forth on the question of whether
the crossing where the accident
occurred was a public thorough
fare. Frank Powers, an old-time
engineer, said there was a sign
board and a whistle post at this
crossing when he was on the road.
Other witnesses who are now train
men say they have not been re-

START FUND
FOR WIDOW OF
UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Deputy Sheriff Stops the
Generosity of st. Johns
bury People

Hearing that Scotchman had
recently left $500 for the widow of
the unknown soldier, some gener-
Gus hearted people in st. Johns
bury thought it would be a fine
thing to start a subscription here
and on Monday morning the fol-
lowing paper was exhibited in the
store Of one of our most popular
st. Johnsbury merchants:
"District of Caledonia, Town of
St. Johnsbury, Vt.
1--WE, the undersigned, hereby
gladly subscribe the amount set
opposite our name for the care
and maintenance Of the Widow of
the Unknown Soldier (Kindly
make your subscription as large as
your finances permit.
All day long men dropped in to
sign up and the petition soon con
tanned the signatures of some of
our well-known townsmen for gen
erous amounts. Those who offer
ed to pay cash were informed by
the merchant that a collector
would call on them later for the
money.
Everything ran along smoothly
and the subscription grew in size
until late in the afternoon an Off
Ger of the law dropped in and in
no uncertain tones infCtm tho
merchant of the seriousness of
soliciting money without authori-
ty. To say that the merchant was
scared is expressing it mildly and
visions of stone walls, iron bars,
and other familiar prison scenes
loomed up before him. The depu-
ty sherif's visit had been success

STAGE WEDDING
TAKES PLACE
In NEWPORT
Audience Waits Until Af-
ter Regular Show to See
Real Marriage

All the world loves Il lover and
Newport people have been keyed
up to the top notch of excitement
ovel, the rumor that there will be
a real wedding as windup to the
engagement of the Lola Vinal
Players, who had been the attrac-
ton at Lanes Opera house dur.
ing the week.
Saturday night the hall was
crowded to capacity for the clos
ing play, and then came the eli
max of romance which began a
year ago in Lancaster and culmin-
ated in the signing of a contract
not for week, or season, but
for all time.
1t was stage wedding, and yet
it was real wedding on a stage,
and the curtain was drawn for an
honest-to-Goodncss one act melo-
drama.
The popular Ray Mack, who has
been delighting Newport audi
'ences during the week with come
dy and juvenile parts, washed off
his grease-paint and make up and
as John Cramer Mackay of Cleve-
land, was united in marriage to
Miss Ruth Buford of Rochester,
N. H.
The ceremony took place at the
close OF the evening performance,
the officiating clergyman being
the Rev. J. H. Blackburn, pastor
of the Main street Baptist church,
the single ring service being used.
The stage had been decorated
during the few moments wait and
was quite transformed by the az
tistic placing of palms, roses and
hydrangeas.
The Lola Vinal Players Co., and
Manager II. f. Lane awaited the
entrance of the bridal party, who
came in to the strains of the we'd
ding march played by McCauley's
orchestra.
The bride was attircd in a
charming frock of periwinkle blue
and silver charmcuse, and carried
q beautiful shower bouquet of
Cphelia roses and valley lilies and
streamers of white ribbon knot
ted. She was attended by Miss
Lola Ninol, who wore cici blue
brocade and also carried a cluster
of roses and narcissus.
The groom was supported by
Adam w. Friend, manager Of the
company.
The newly weds were loudly
cheered and congratulated at
the close of the ceremony.
The bridal bouquets and the
stage decorations were from the
Flower Shop with the compli-
ments of the proprietor, Z. c.
Camp, and his courtesy was
greatly appreciated by Mr.. and
Mrs. Mackay.
More tangible than good wishes
was the gift of twcnty-dollars in
gold from the managers, Adam W.
Friend and II. +. Lane. Mrs.
Mackay is not in the profession
but is d stcnoglaphcr in ROchcs-
ter.
The bride is an attractive little
blonde with blue eyes and wavy
brown hair with a CLINT of sun
shine it it. She is IA graduate
of the Rochester, N. H., high
school and she looked very happy
as she received the good wishes
and congratulations of her new
friends.
1t was noticed that the word
"obey" was not included in the
solemn charge to the bride in
the marriage service, but it is Just
as well, for of course now that
women have legal rights, they
don't obey any more.

patch from Genoa this afternoon
announces that it will be impossible
for Germans and Russians to par
ticipate in the semiofficial meetings
at the conference, following the
signing of the Russo-German
treaty.
GENOA, April 18-The con
sternation, caused by the German
Russian treaty, concluded at Rap
allo yesterday in notification of
the Brest- Litovsk treaty, shows no
signs of abatement today as the
delegates continued their confer
ence. Some men, in allied circles,
read into the Russian-German
treaty and especially the manner in
which it was signed, a future al
lance between these countries.
Prime minister Lloyd George, him
self went so far as to say the pact
was a step in the direction of di-
viding Europe into two separate
camps, the very thing the confer
ence wishes to avoid.

DUBLIN, Oct. 20.--Sean Moylan, ono
Of the most important leaders Of the
Irish irregulars, Is coming to Dublin
to-nos-ow for conference with the
Free State authorities, following q
meeting with other chiefs in Cork. II
would Be premature TO attach too much
Importance to the prevalent rumors of
peace, as the present military activi-
ties do not bear them out.
The consistent better tone at the
Dublin Stock Exchange, however, sug-
gests that some of the financial Lead
ara have inside information that the
peace movement is on its way toward
realization. Significance also is at
tached to the statement made by Presi-
dent Cosgrove Ia the Dali to-day in re-
BIZ to i question concerning the milf
farv situation. 1All that is needed
now he said, His for people to forget
that there ever has been an interrupt
tior in normal conditions and go back
