which were only equalled by the depth
of pathos in other selections The
skillful manipulation of the marimba
phone an instrument which many
heard for the first time called forth
much admiration, and its sweet" tones
charmed all. hearers. The audience,
for the most part, confessed to never
having listened, with so much satis
faction to a program. '

President Spaulding and Chief Engineer
Mason on Stand. Nothing New
; Brought Out.
President Philip L. Spaulding of
the New England Telephone com
pany, was a witness at the telephone
hearing still in session in Montpelier
last week. .
His testimony was regarding the
"going concern" item which has been
a puzzle to the commission. His
statements and views on the subject
were in part as follows:
Now, the distinction between the
bare physical inventory and the
property actually in service has been
recognized time and time again by
courts and commissions, and question
becomes one as to how best calculate
what that added value is.
As to the question of what the best
method was to arrive at this cost the
witness said the New England com
pany's claim and contention is that
there is just as much cost in getting
the business as there is a cost in pro
viding the physical structure.
He allowed four years for the estab
lishment of a company as a "going
concern" and enumerated the various
items of expense entailed.
He added that at the end of the four
year period the company is in a live
condition and included in the total cost
of reproducing the plant, appears . the
cost to build and equip the plant as
well as the cost to produce th
subscribrs, the. organization ahd de
velopment. In arriving at the amounts set forth
in the combined statements of the
New England company and subsidia
ries in Vermont, the statisticians of
the company figured on the arbitrary
figure of 20 per cent of the property
in Vermont totalling $2,300,000 which

Emily Bronte's Looks. -
A discussiou "as to the personal ap
pearance of Emily Bronte reveals the
remarkable fact that no one knows
anything about it since there is no au
thentic portrait in existence. When
Charlotte Bronte first saw George
Henry Lewes she said that he was
wonderfully like her sister Emily, but
this is unfortunate for Emily since
Lewes was very much like a Baboon.
Possibly the comparison was due to a
sisterly candor that so seldom errs on
the side of mercy. Thanks to photog
raphy, the historian of the future will
not be in doubt as to the appearance
of celebrities of the present generation,
but he is likely to have his own opin
ion as to those worth knowing about
