This was the first time this reanion was held at that place, and, while the grove was pleasant enough once a person gos into is, it is hard- ly as conveniently located as the John Q. Miles grove, near Martha, where former reunions were held. However, this did nos in any way detract from the pleasure and enjoyment of the almost two thousand peo- ple present from all over Centre county, as well as surrounding connties. Of course the crowd was not confined to the Wil- liams clan, though there were hundreds of them there, but to hosts of their friends as well. The reunion association was called to order promptly at 10:30 o'clock by she president, A. 8S. Williams. Rev. E. 8. Bierley, of Port Matilda, led in the devo- tional services, after which G. W. Shires, of the same place, made a brie! address of welcome. This was responded to by Rev. Earl K. Quimby, of New Jersey.

Miss Jones accepted the proposal provisionally that when they met they both were satie- fied with each other. Miss Jones arrived in Centre Hall almost three weeks ago and spent a week in becoming more intimately acquainted with Mr. Strong aud as the end of that probationary period both felt satis- fied thas they were intended for each other, hence they were married as the time above stated by Rev.

To bear Rossini’s peerless comic opera, ‘*The Barber of Seville,” sung by high class singers, must alwaye be a thing to create logo satisfaction. One feels on coming away [rom such a performance that he has been carried back to the days when there were masters in the field of art, whose pro- duotions were marked by great care in the technical features, while being fall of the rarest melody ; that be has heard some- thing far above the rag time and slam-bang of she modern comic opera. Two thing: stood out prominently apart from the work of Mme. Monti Baldini—the magnificent singing of Mr. Dunsmure, and the violin solos of Herr Jacques Kinsbergen. Mr. Dunsmure has a bass voice of exocep. tional volume and richness, aud he is also a comedian of no mean order. As for the prima donna, the encores she received testi- fied to the fact that she bad caught the bears of her andience. To a swees soprano voice of wide compass shé adds a winsome personality. Toe company is composed of thoroughly trained artists, who are able to provide an evening's eujoyment of a type far passiog beyond the reach of lovers of really good mawio. If shere had heen noth- ing more than Mr. Dansmure’s solo in the second act, she singing last night would still have been worth going a long way to bear. In Memeorium. At a meeting of the Woman's Christian Temper- ance Uuion on Thursday, August 27th, the fol- lowing tribute of respect was passed : In the going home of our triend, Mr. James Harris, the W. C. T.

In the cause of temperance when—“The few who dare—must speak and speak again—To right the wrongs of maoy-—When many sin by silence, who should protest,” his voice and influence were never wanting. We feel his place will not again be fill ed. “And thus this man died, leaving his death for un example of a noble courage, and a memori- al of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.

Falling Off in Republican Vote Up in Vermont, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT., Sept. | 1.—Republicans won ‘in Vermont to-day, electing Lieutenans Governor George H. Prouty, of Newport, for governor, over James E. Barke, of Burlington, his 0- cratio op Lin The pluorality is the smallest in a presi- dential year since 1892, when it was only 17,956, and was followed by a Democratic Natiooal victory. Late to-night Mr. Burke issued the following the statement : ‘From the returns of 71 out 246 towns raceived by me, I claim that Prouty’s majority will be under 24,000.” was a falling off in four years of about eight per cent. in the Republican vote. ‘The Independence League appeared for the first time and polled about 1,000 votes, while the Prohibition and Socialistio vote remained about the same. An unusually large number of local contests for members of the Legislature, although bringing ont a heavy vote and resulting in Democratic gains in the lower branch of the Legisia- ture, apparently had no beating on the gubernatorial fight. As Vermont is the first State to vote during the presidential campaign, there was much interest thronghont the country in the size of the Republican plurality. Mr. Barke ran exceedingly well in his own oity, Burlington, reducing the Re- publican margin of 200 four years ago, to 64 votes. He also made a good showing in Barre, but feil behind in Ss. Albans and in several of the large towns. Late to night Lieutenant Gov. Prouty expressed himself! as pleased with the re- soit, but reserved his statement until more Syapiate Nv ke available. oh ithongh Burlington went Republican on the State ticket, it was strongly Dem- ocratio when it came to the representative fight, M. G. Leary, the Democtasic candi= date for representative, defeating Lawrence Bartley, Republican, by a majority of 365.
