morning last we had our first zero weather and the total snow fall for the season to that time was 1444 inches.Such weather makes the skaters happy Mr.Henry Gauthier is puttingina bowling alley in the

opinion that the rate fixed for Tungsten street lamps in the contract with the Sherbrooke Railway and Power Company are inconsistent with the rates fixed for incandescent lamps.Through the efforts of the mayor, since the contract was made, a reduction of a dollar or two per 60 wt.lamp has been offered by the company.It would appear that the contract had been entered into too hastily, or at least with an improper understanding of the technical side of the question.No doubt the company can hold the oor- poration strictly to the terms of the contract if it sees fit to do so.But in the long run it would likely stand to gain by dealing fairly with the people now.The fact that even a small reduction is offered is evidence of two things: First, that the Tungsten rate de too high, second that tbe company is willing to deal with the corporation ina way.The company might score à point and win publio confidence by offering to submit the point in question to a competent board of arbitration.Everybody would then be satisfied.Therejis a feeling that the people can get more light for their money by wiag Tungsten lamps than by the use of either arc or incandescent lampe.The alm

at the brow of the hill near the Holmes Model School, connecting with the old roadway some 200 feet south.Guards have been placed on each side of the old road to prevent toboggane from leaving their

upon the street.Once Mr.Holmes owned the \u201chill\u201d down to the Gobeille property, but before the bakery was put up he had sold the lower portiod to B.C.Parsons.Afterwards Messrs.Holmes and Parsons got together to establish a street line.To secure a straight line from: the point he had decided upon as the western boundary of the highway across his own property Mr.Holmes paid Mr.Parsons a certain sum of money, and, after the agreement wag made stakes were set.Subsequently the municipal council, ratified the line agreed upon by Messrs.Holmes and Parsons.It le now claimed that the new building projects into the street beyond this line.It is torther claimed that in the deed conveying the lower section from Mr.Holmes to Mr.Parsons is was stated that no buildings were to be erected within thirty feet of the brow of the hill.This is certainly a peculiar miz- up, but titular mizups are not new to Rook Island real este.\u2018 pent ome at TRUE & BLANOHARD 00.'8 Big Holiday

pit.Such a large expenditure would not, of course, be warranted withput satisfactory permanent results.It is to be hoped they are being accomplished.Hills, bridges and narrow streets make this an expensive municipality to maintain.The conditions call for the moet careful study and intelligent application.It is earnestly desired by the trustees of the Haskell Free Library that the opening of

that her voice is prophetical.These are her words: We hereby proclaim that within a decade shall be placed in the Constitution of the United States; and to this end we call to active co-opera- tion all temperance, prohibition, religious and philanthropic bodies, all patriotic, fraternal, civic associations and all Americans who love their country.The words of another noble woman a State President, are also prophetical.Our victory day will dawn some time.When it comes in its fullness our banner of beauty and glory will Wave no longer over a saloon in all the land, nor shall its

Georgeville.Youseo, we have a large deer park, and in it we have three beautiful deer; Fannie, Dudrop and Jimmie.The two first were rescned from the waters of the Memphrema- gog and Jimmie was brought from the back woods of Coaticook.Mr.James Davidson has just completed a fine boat building shop and be conceived the idea of giving in it an Old Folks Oonsort for the benefit of the aforsaid deer.So on Tuesday evening, November 98th, the idea took shape in a most wonderful man- ner\u2014both old and young, those ip and those out of the village taking part; the result was a splendid entertainment.They rummaged the story chests in the attics and brought forth the heirlooms which were ages old, including, beautiful silk dreeses that would nearly stand alone, old lace and gold of different designs, evening dress suits, silk hate, made in England, with the stamps on the silk linings «Makers to the King,\u201d old snuff boxes and other ornaments which were cur- josities.The program was made up of old time songs and melodies.The two King Pins of the evening were Mr.Jobn Holland and Mr.James Hutchison, who were faultlessly attired in evening dress of one hundred years ago.Mr.Holland wore the ruffled shirt with big diamonds, cutaway coat and silk beaver; he sung an old time song, \u201cPeople will talk.\u201d Mr.Hutchison also wore a faultless drees suit of ye olden time, the splendor of which was so great that it would be difficult to discribe it\u2014oh, but James can sing.Miss Marion Davidson, who was attired in silks of the finest texture, made many, many years ago, gave à recitation.Comment is unnecessary for those who bad the pleasure of listening to Miss Davideon\u2019s readings can appreciate the treat given us.But for a side-splitter give us Mrs.Beach Bly; her make-up was that of an Irish lady.Well the rig-out was simply the \u201cfinest ever\u201d and the song and dance was so true of the oid sod, one would suppose she had just come over.And there was James Davidson, the bloated Irishman, who had his nose In everybody\u2019s business.There were two blacks from Dixie, Messrs.Johny Vaughn and George Wiggins, whose songs of the old plantation were the sort that brings moisture to the eye.The chorus singers were: Miss Mabel Place, Miss Susie MoGow- an, Miss Davidson, Mrs.Bly, Mre.Wm.Peasley, Miss Hutchison, Mrs.O'Leary, Miss Bullock, Mrs.A.W.Bullock, Miss Mabel Holland and Miss Olive Achilles.Their dress was also taken from the ancients.Mrs.Wm.Rediker presided at the piano.Owing to the terrible rainy bight the attendance was not as large as it would have been, but the proceeds were fairly good.After the entertainment refreshments were served and an old- time-dance was the finish of the undertaking, for which

ther mometer is 68 today; no cold weather yet.The leaves bave only been fallen fer two weeks.There was an uncommonly large froit crop and chestnuts were especially abundant.They sell on the market for 40 cents a peck.I bave been quite fortunate in securing a good position.I am collector for the Telephone Co., where Fred is the superintendent; I also am collector for a new Electric Light Company, lately formed.I have taken contracts in the nearby towns for thé lights.I draw a good salary from each company and am all over the county.My hours are not long.This week I bave to look after the right of way from Clarendon to Falls Chorch.They are now putting in a large system of wireless telegraph some three miles from bere at a cost of $2,000,000 when completed; will be 650 feet high, or 100 feet higher than the Washington monument.They expect to have communication with the world in one year from now.I never saw such a stride as is now and has been going on the past six months, as I am only six miles from Wasbington.Over 100 beautiful homes have been built, a large portion of them by Washingtonians.There are three electric lines leading to the city, which is only 30 minutes\u2019 ride.A good share of the Government employés live in the country around the oity.They get good pay, but live beyond their means, for when the 1st of the month comes their salaries of from $125.00 to $150.00 are gone and some of them don\u2019t have enough to pay telephone bille.Times have been good here as far as work goes; no one needs to be idle.A person here with a few spare dollars can invest at a big advantage.Within five years I believe you will see one continuous city from here to Washington.I was quite fortunate in property I bought two years ago, as I have held it and could sell to-day for three times what I gave for it; it consists of some #| 29 lots near the city.Every week I look forward to Saturday for the JOURNAL, which is a welcome friend to Fred, Bertha and our family.If you are ever down this way will be pleased to see you.Wishing you the compliments of the season, I am Fraternally, A.W.PARKER.GREER-YOUNG.A very pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr, and Mrs.CO.A.Young, Maple Lane Farm, Nov.30th, when their daughter Mabel, was united in marriage to Mr, W.E.Greer.The bridal party entered the parlor to the strains of Lohengren\u2019s Wedding March, played by Mrs.Ewing Greer, through an aisle of white ribbons held by Misses Rose young and Ruby Greer.The bride and groom were attended by Miss Mabel Young and Mr.Peasley Young, cousin and brother of the bride.The double ring ceremony was per- peaformed by Rev.J.H.Hunter, of *|Cowaneville.The bride was given away by her father, and was attired in an imported gown of white silk crepe de chine, her veil being caught by white heather and orange blossoms, and carried a boquet of bridal roses.A large gathering of relatives and friends were present from Lachute, Grand Frenière, Boston, Obio, and surrounding towns.The presents, both numerous and valuable, showed the high esteem in which both parties are held.After a bountiful supper, served in the tastefully decorated dining-room, Mr.and Mrs.Greer left amid a shower of rice and confetti, for an extended trip to the South, with the good wishes of their friends.PROFITABLE ADVERTISING.Dear Mr.Holland\u2014It may gratify you to learn\u2014illuetrating, as it does, the value of local advertising\u2014that during the past season I have disposed of real estate (advertised in the JOURNAL only) to the amount of $22,000, My sales include at Rock Island 4 building lots on Main street, 8 lots on Riverside Avenue, and three acres of land to the College;

meet- - ing the secretary-treasurer called the council's attention to the fact that the corporation would shortly be in a position to retire two of its water bonds ont of the special water assessments.The bonds are held by Stan- stead College, and, by the terms of subscription, are not redeemable until 1919, but the secretary was Instructed to ask for the privilege of earlier redemption.This, the mayor announced, had been given by of the executive board of the College at its last quarterly meeting, November 29th, Ac- oordingly the secretary was instructed to redeem the two of the aforesaid debentures January 1st, 1918.= About Expropriation.Referring to the corporation\u2019s plans for expropriating a right of way for the.Sherbrooke Railway and Power Co.'s transmission line to this place, the mayor announced that the matter was now proceeding smoothly, the Canfield Estate, John Young, Miss Young and J.M.Moptle, having ac- oepted the company\u2019s contracts.Op- pesing parties in the township of Hatley had also fallen into line in the same manner.The opinion was expressed that publication in the JOURNAL of the council\u2019s resolution had caused the desired change in the at- titade of those who were obstructing the company\u2019s operations.Sewer Question Delayed.Delay in the arrival of the Montreal engineers has had the effect of shelving the sewer question until spring.When the mayor was in Montreal nearly two weeks ago he was given to understand that at least one of the Lea staff would be here within a few days.Recently Mr.Holmes had re- celved a communication from Mr.Lea expressing regret for unavoidable delay.The letter stated that an engineer would be here within ten days.Bat, with more snow and cold weather, the mayor did not think the work could be efficiently done, consequently he had canceled the appointment for the present.Speaking of the financial side of the question the mayor stated that Hanson Bros., the well- known Montreal brokers, had offered to take at par any or ail of the 5 per cent.bonds this corporation might issue to consolidate its debt and provide for a sewer system.The Secretary-Treasureship.Mr.G.H.St.Pierre handed in an application for the municipal secre- tary-treasureship at a salary of $400 a year, for which he would, in addition to the regular duties of the office, attend to all of the legal work except suits for or against the corporation.Several questions were asked about the possibility of inducing the present incumbent to remain in office, and in the end the matter was referred to a epecial committee composed of Councilors Norris and Ball.Mr.Hovey's salary is now 9200; until within a short time it was $150.: Street Sliding Under the Ban.Further complaints were heard regarding the use of streets for sliding, as a result of which the mayor was authorized to engage special constables to enforce the prohibitory bylaw.After Tungsten 60's at 88.00.Speaking of the street lighting question the mayor announced that for some time he had been trying to secure an eight dollar rate for 60 wt.Tungsten lamps, but so far the best offer he had been able to get from the company was a little over $10.Under the contract the company could charge #12 if they furnished the lamps, but some of the councilors and others have expressed the conviction that this rate is inconsistent with the rate fixed for incandescent lights.A committee, consisting of Councilors Ball, Fregeau and the Mayor, was appointed to confer with the 8.R.& P.Oo.respecting the location of polls in this municipality.To Sand Slippery Walks.So effectively were the dangers of slippery sidewalks pictured by Ooun- cilor Norris that an order providing tor their sanding by the superintendent of roads, etc., was passed.In fature, it is hoped, pedestrians may safely use the walks at all times.4 Defective Retaining Wall.Tne mayor called attention to the retaining wall built at Foundry hill last summer.In one place where a thin shell had \u2018\u201cblistered\u201d and 4igloughed off,\u201d he had inserted bis hand and found nothing but loose gravel where there should be solid cement.The mayor expressed the conviction that the contractor could and should be held responsible.Under the Provincial law, he said, a contractor was responsible for ten years\u2014 although the work may have been ac- \u2018cepted and paid for at time of completion.Some misgivings concerning this wall were expressed by other members of the board.Road Work $8,580.18, Gravel Pit 8500.A resolution approving the graveling of Railroad street was passed, to FITCH BAY.Mrs.Anstin Reed has returned from a week\u2019s visit to friends in North Hatley.\u2018 Mr.Wm.Orossett is on the sick

choice location, built according to plans of your own selection, and costing, in addition to the price of the lot (also of your own selection) from $1000 to $2000, with all the modern improvements, you can get all this at a moderate price and on easy terms of payment, if you are an honest, sober and industrious young man, and can put from $400 to $800 into the proposition.I will sell you a good lot at Rock Island or Derby Line for $200 to $400 cash; then if you can pay 20% of the cost of the cottage, I will fur nish the balance, build the cottage, turn it over to you when done.You can use it as though it were your own, pay 10% to 20% of the price each year, with interest at 6% on the unpaid balance, and when all is paid I will give pou à warranty deed of the property.I have 915,000 to invest on these terms for the right kind of young men (none others need apply), and that should pat up 10 or 12 modern cottages costing from 81000 to 92000 each.- Apply to EDWARD DANFORTH

of the \u201cinside\u201d events leading up to the Boer War for three years, John Hays Hammond, the American min- who was conspicuous io that war.Saturday night at a dinner of the Olover Club.- Mr.Hammond said the Jamieson raid was the result of the activities of a reform association formed at Joban- nesburg, and consisting largely of Americans.\u201cI want especially,\u201d said Mr.Hammond, \u2018to currect a misun- acting under the British flag.That is false.\u201cMuch sympathy has been wasted on \u2018Oom Paul\u2019 Kroger.He was opposed to progress, believed the world was flat and that the devil had a tail.His impositions were such as no man of the Anglo-Saxon race would have tolerated.The Americans voted to take up arms against bim.There was à spy in our camp, and for his benefit wo voted that it we were commandeered we would, upon the first orders to fire, shoot down our commanding officers.As a result no Americans woré made to enlist.\u201cThe reform movement against Kra- ger was not an English movement.Jameson came into the fight against our wishes and against the wishes of the British High Commissioner.I \u2018sent word to him to go back, and when he persisted the -only thing to do was to bluff Kruger into believing we had more arms than we really had.We did so, and Kroger sent over an olive branch to Johannesburg.They agreed to all but two things, and that cepted with a Catholic or a Jew.This we flatly refused.\u201cKruger played false with the reform committee after the Jameson raid, broke all his promises, and after be had secured the arms in Johannesburg, through Sir Hercules Robinson, he arrested the entire committee.He gave the men to understand tbat if they pleaded guilty they would be let off with a fine.Instead they were sentenced to be hanged within twen- ty-four hours.An emphatic despatch from Secretary Olney caused Kruger and the Boer Council to hesitate, und, after an ali night session, the council voted to commute the sentences to life imprisonment.\u201d VERMONT ITEMS.Navigation on Lake Memphremagog closed last year November 19.This year boats run up to about the 23rd.Mrs.George Dewey, who, with her husband, Admiral Dewey, bas been at Woodstock for the past two summers, recently presented the Norman Williams public library in that village with 25 volames.Dr.O.A.Bemis, aged 66 years, one of the best known practicing physicians of Whitman, Mass.,, who died suddenly November 28 of heart disease while walking along the street, moved to Whitman about 20 years ago from Craftsbury.For the ten days ending November 20 the registration report at the Vermont soldiers\u2019 home, Bennington, shows that the total enrolment has been admitted and three discharged two are out on furlough, and five have returned from furlough.A.A.Niles, of Morrisville, has just been endorsed unanimously by Stan- nard Post, G.A.R., of Burlington, for department commander in 1912.He has also received the unanimous endorsement of Morrisville Post and of other posts in the state.He has served twice as assistant adjatant- general, and once as quartermaster- general of the Vermont department.We notice in the Essex

anything which would break the sober monotony of the uaual, the ordered.You must walk sedstely, be of the crowd, keep on the pavement.In Paris one who does anything, however foolish, however odd, Aring some colour, some variety into life is welcomed.Parisians love the unusual, the improvised, the daring.You know approving, sympathetie eyes on you as you parade your emotions, alr your eccentricities, or defy convention in any form.The French do not see why shows should be kept for theatres only; they would have their streets a stage, with a thrill at every corner.That is why the flamboyant Bohemian, the poet, the dreamer, the lover; all half-mad souls those who scorn conventions because thelr minds are on bigger things are at home there.\u2019 .The soul that looks out of the eyes of Paris is that of one who has lived, and loved, and tasted life's many goblets, and remained young, and gay, and above all tolerant in spite of all her experiences.She will look with an indulgent eye on your follies, for she has known them, and will know em again; she will laugh on a sigh at your extravagances, knowing how fleeting is the season when one dave | be exuberant; she wil take you to her heart, and with strange lures make you forget she has had other : she will let you go, the old half-mocking, half-tender smile still on her lips.Gone with her may be your illusions and your faith, but for- her you cannot, ever.: CHLOROFORNING PLANTS Latest Idea to Promote Raped Growth of Plants is to Compel Sleep.One would think, at first sight, that an anesthetio would retard the blossoming of à plant, instead of hasten- fng it.The action would seem, however, to resemble that of a man who takes a sleeping-draught in the afternoon so that he might get to sleep earlier and wake at 3 am.to take à train.It was found by experiment that fn plants, as in animals, ether and chloroform cause every indication of dieep, and during the past few years the system of treating plants in this way, to hasten them through the rest- periods, has heen adopted com- with extraordinary success.Thus, \u201ca llac-bush may be lifted from yeaf by etheriaing the plant and subsequently forcing it in the hot-house.Plants t0 be etherised are brought first into a dry condition at top and root, and then placed in an airtight structure.The door is sealed, and the ether applied through a small bole in the roof into a vessel te the house, and the fumes, being heavier than the atmosphere, hang about near the floor, where the plants are arranged.The ether has the effect of drying up the moisture in the tissues, and it (s thought that in the natural Test of plants there is a gradual drying process at work, which, for went of better knowledge, the cultivator describes as the ripening of the tissues.\u201d Bad Times for Nobles! One sign of the prevailing hard times in Germany is the appearance in the newspapers of advertisements of noblemen seeking ready-made fortunes with wives attached.The de mend for heiresses, American and otherwise, was never so great as now.Titles in the market range from Princes downward, and even the staid bld \u201cVossische Zeitung\u201d contains the following advertisement: \u2014 Prince, 28 years old, of noble ap- rance, wishes immediate marriage condition, $126,000, This is typical of many other advertisements.It would seem also that there are almost as many heiresses fooking out for titled husbands, as witness the following tempting announcements: \u2014 Refined, handsome young lady of 24, multi~marrionaires, seeks a Count in military service.Countess, possessing millions, but @tvorced, seeks a second mmtoh with ery a gentleman bearing s noble title.Lost Her Vivaelty A few days ago two young ladies hailed a tramcar, entered it, and found only standing room.One of them whispered to her companion: \u2014 \u201cI'm going to get a seat from ome of these men.You take notice.\u201d She looked down the row of men and selected a sedate gentleman who bore the general settled appearance of a married man, She sailed up to him, and opened fire:\u2014 \u201cMy dear Mr, Green! How delight- a stranger.Wil 1 accept your seat?Well, 1 do feel tired.I heartily admit.Thank you so much.\u201d The sodate gentleman \u2014 a total stranger, of coarse \u2014 looked, lieten- od, then guietly rose and gave her his seat, saylng:\u2014 \u201cBit down, Sane, my girl.Duat often see you out Or à Wash 3 You must feel tired, I'm sure.How's your mistress?Fhe Teens indy ot bet oh owt 6 lost her vivaci \u201c fae ma J se * - - TT SI Naf ANT NAR Cr D comte TR REA.Gy 0 ER mme SR i WIA D 27 2400 Je pal Sad We A [xd a FAMOUS JAMESON RAID, BONDON AND PARIS ;

of this case where it largely belongs, and it should cause all labor organisations to declare at once for clean methods and insiet that violence must cease.If it chooses, organized labor may resp a lasting and important benefit from this terrible affair.It is easily possible now for the fair and honest labor unionist to obtain a permanent hearing for labor is paying the price; and while the guilty principals must serve long sentences, the rank and file cannot escape a portion of the burden of guilt, its the price association must pay.The time is now here when the moderate element of leadership will ind the majority ready and anxious to follow in paths of caution and reasonableness.Tolerance will find sn empty saddle, the mount well spent in a disastrous attempt to rule by criminal means, the fruits of which are always the same.The claim \u201cthat the confession is a hard blow at all organized labor, that it is the beginning of the end,\u201d is very far from the facts in the case.It is à bard blow at the use of oriminal methods in the cause of labor, and we hope and pray that it ls the beginning ofthe end of every method that is contrary to the epirit of the \u2018\u2018brotber- hood\u201d of man.When the questions between capital and labor are squared by the golden rule, the sermon ob the moust, yea, Christlikeness, no more young men or old wil} confront
