The U.V.M. Musical Club Coming toBarton.

The University of Vermont Musicalclubs will leave Burlington Monday,December 30th, to give six concerts ineastern and northern parts of thestate. The itinerary includes enter-tainments at Morrisville Mondaynight, St. Johnsbury Tuesday night,Barton Wednesday night, Jan. 1, New-port Thursday, Richford Friday andthe wind-u- p engagement at St. Al-bans Saturday evening, the 4th of Jan-uary.

The thirty men of the University,who make up the musical organizationare offering majny new and novel"stunts" in the concert line this year.They showed their cards at the homeconcert in Burlington last week to thedelight of their hearers. Te eve-ning's program is divided into twoparts somewhat after the style of thetraveling ministrel. The first partincludes instrumental and glee clubnumbers, readings and bass and tenorduets and solos. The second part isan innovation depicting a scene in"the dorm" livened with true collegelife as it is and not as it is supposed tobe, with many an informal hum andmelody.

The glee men are featuring a "col-lege medley" and a 'rag medley" andManager Smith gives a prominentplace on the program to the brand newbrass sextette. Robinson, a memberof the freshmen class and leader ofthe instrumental department, recently

j

wrote a popular new Vermont song inmarch time which the glee club uses. '

The management is still negotiatingfor dates in Vermont towns and anyhigh school or club wishing to . entertain the clubs should communicate i

after whom the local G. A. R.post was named. He was captain ofthe company in which many of the menserved and the local post has a numberof the personal effects of CaptainQuimby. He was principal of theschool here when he enlisted. TheJournal says :

volunteers, as evening fell, was killedon the field of the first battle ofFredericksburg, by a rifle bullet cut-ting both "jugular veins at the throat.When night was fully come and it wasdark two of his soldiers carried hisbody to the banks of the Rappahannockand stood guard over it that night, in-

tendingI

to send it home in some way.The next morning the tide of battle

was against the union army and toprevent the body from falling into thehands of the enemy, they buried it.

When the battle was over and theycould do so they took the remains upand sent them to Lyndon Center wherethey were buried in the Dea. Thoma.iQuimby lot and a mounnient erectedthereon. Last Friday evening, the13th, the two soldiers, who both livein Lyndon today, William F. Stoddardand Luther B. Harris, with SilasColliston, who was with the companyat that battle, went to the cemetervand laid evergreen wreaths at the head i

of the trrave of their dead ((immnnHprof fifty years ago.

Most of the Important Work of theSession Yet Undone. Bills Keep

Coming In. Governor SendsMessage.

The legislature adjourned Friday tomeet in MontDelier again January 6for the home stretch of the 1912-1- 3

legislative body of Vermont. Billsare still coming in and many of themost important subjects have not yetbeen settled.

Before adjournment for the holidayrecess it was shown that 32 bills re-mained in the hands of the committeesand final adjournment before Februaryseems impossible. The flat rate taxa-tion bill passed by the house is meet-ing opposition in the senate and islikely to be killed by that body. Anelaborate fish and game law has beenintroduced and will take much time todispose of besides several other impor-tant measures. The legislature hasbeen in session 71 days at an expenseto the state of about $90,000.

Among the last things done by thelegislature was to listen to a messagefrom Governor Fletcher. The mes-sage is an important one and follows:

"I desire to call your attention tothe fact that the statute creating theoffice of commissioner of weights andmeasures carries with it no fixed ap-propriation or limitation whatsoeveras to the amount that may be expend-- J

ed by that department, and with nodesire or intention to criticize that department, in any respect, I suggestthat a specific biennial appropriationbe made for the use of the department0f weights and measures.

"And I further wish to call yourattention to the fact that at the pres-ent time all fuel, light and supplies ofevery nature used at the state institu-tions are purchased by the heads ofthe various institutions or theiragents.

"I am convinced that if one mancould purchase all these supplies avery material saving would be madefor the state, because the buyingwould be at wholesale rather than re-tail rates. This is a business methodpracticed with beneficial results bymany large corporations.

"I therefore earnestly recommend.for your serious consideration, thatthe office of ?tate purchasing agent b ecreated. This agent should purchaseall the supplies of all the state institu-tions, also all material for construc-tion work. It might also be found ad-vantageous for the purchasing agentto purchase all stationery and officesupplies of the state, to enter intocontracts for public printing and thepurchase of supplies incident to the!session of the legislature, therebyabolishing the office of state sprinter.If it is not deemed advisable to givethe purchasing agent the duties of thecommissioner of public printing, Irecommend that the office of publicprinting be put upon a salaried insteadof a per diem basis.

"By centralizing purchase of allsupplies in one office, you would, I be-lieve, not only save the state a largeamount of money but you would alsobrinsr the agent's every act into thelimelight of publicity and publicity isthe very essence of advanced construc- -

tive legislation to the end of good gov- - j

ernmentA committee comprising Mr. Proctor

of Proctor, Mr. Watson of St. Albansand Mr. Jcse of Johnson was appoint-ed to consider the matters referred tom the Governor s message and reportupon convening after the holidays

the general committees have intro-duced a substitute for H139, requiringcandidates for office to file by the fifthday before election with the secretaryof state and county clerk a statementof all campaign expenses and receipts ;an itemized sworn statement of allpersons contributing to the candidate'scampaign and the amount contributed ;

within 15 days after election, candi-date shall file a similar statement ofreceipts and expenditures ; no commis-sion shall be issued to any candidateelected who refuses to file such state-ments. "

The joint committee on public healthgave a public hearing on House bill226. an act to provide for medical in-

spection in public schools. John W.Redmond of Newport, representingthe Christian Scientists, with C. W.Peck of St. Johnsbury and A. H.Mattson of Bethel, appeared in opposi-tion to the measure. Mr. Redmond'schief grievance lay in the fact thatsection 3 of the act as drawn contem-plated the employment of assistantexaminers, who "shall be graduates inmedicine and licensed tj practice inthis state and, during the school year,they shall devote their time solely tothis work," after attending annuallyan examiners' school or special clinicat the University of Vermont collegeof medicine, their salary being per-ish the thought "only $50 cermonth." Mr. Redmond fairly trembledwhen he contemplated so cheap a per-son examining the eyes and ears of thechildren of his clients. "Medicine isa science and a"h art," he repeated atfrequent intervals, and such cheapphysicians are very likely to be incom-petent. He would, however, acceptthe measure if amended to exempt hisclients from its compulsory provisions.

The bill granting Orleans villagethe right' to take water from Wil-lough- by

lake for village purposes haspassed both the house and senate.

The House has passed the bill substituting electrocution as the deathpenalty for murder instead of hang-ing, after amending the bill so that thedeath house shall cost $2,500 instead of$5,000. After once killing the, bill topay John W. Titcomb, state fish andgame commissioner, about $2100 forclerk hire, rent, etc., which he had expended, and reconsidered its action, theHouse killed the bill again by a voteof 83 to 111. .

Without debate the House killed theSenate bill increasing the salary ofthe Governor to $4000.

curiosity. Regarding needy parentsof poor children, who through justifia-ble pride do not like to appeal throughthe committee in person at the rectorycan send a note with the children stat-ing just what they are in most needof, and if the members of the commit-tee do not have just what theyrequire they will try and exchangesome things they have for just whatthe needy person requires. If medi-cine, send prescription with child andit will be filled and returned. No par-ent need give their name, just thenote stating what they require and theboy or girl can take just what theywant home. The committee intendedto give a dinner for the poor childrenbut owing to the haste that was nec-essary in formulating this plan, wewon't have the time to give it as thecommittee would like. But if anypeople answer the appeal for articlesof any kind which include clothing oreatables, these will be distributed toapplicants as long as there is anythingleft. If unfortunately, some poorpeople cannot know of this attempt totry and help the poor, if there is any-thing left over after tomorrow after-noon it can be secured by applying tothe Rectory. In conclusion the com-mittee wishes to state that it is thelittle things in life that count and itdoes't matter how small a donationwhether it be in money from 1 cent orup to a pair of 10 or 15 cent gloves orany article of wearing apparel thathas seen its best days of usefulnesswill be as much appreciated as a dona-- i

tion of money from people who canafford, no matter what amount theygive. H. J. Duffey,

Chairman of Committee.
