Attorney Charged with Forgery.
The Island Pond Herald says : W. L.
Aldrich, an attorney-at-law, residing
at Orleans, was arrested by Sheriff
Bemis Tuesday, June 29th, and brought
before Judge Parsons the next morn
ing in the municipal court, on
complaint of State's Attorney C. R.
O Powell, on a charge of uttering, or
passing a forged check for $10. Re
spondent Aldrich, who was represented
by Attorney Frank Rogers of North
Troy, waived examination and waa
placed under $1000 bail to appear
before the Essex county court, to be
holden at Guildhall next October. It
is alleged that Aldrich made out a
check, payable to himself for $10, on
the Central Savings Bank & Trust com
pany of Orleans, signing the name of
Harry Dickens. This check was given
to Julius Stern and the money was
obtained from the same party. When
the check reached the bank upon which
it was drawn, the signature was ques
tioned and upon investigation, it was
found not to be the signature of Mr.
' Dickens. The check was given while
: Mr. Aldrich was spending the week
;: end with friends in town. It is also
:' rumored that several others in town
are the holders of worthless checks
A issued by the same party. Dr. Aldrich

ORLEANS CHAUTAUQUA
OPENS SUNDAY
A group of Swiss songs sung by real
Alpine singers will be the feature of
the program for the fifth day of the
Orleans Community Chautauqua which
opens at Orleans Sunday.
This novel and interesting entertain
ment will be given by Swiss Alpine
Singers and Yodlers, a company
consisting of three ' dashing moun
taineers and three mountain lassies.
The Swiss Alpine Singers and Yodlers
appear in picturesque mountain cos
tumes, and in addition to their program
of vocal numbers, play several selec
tions on native Alpine instruments.
Each singer possesses a high clear
voice, made all the more pleasing
because of the "yodel " or wild war
bling note so peculiar to. all mountain
singers. The Swiss are taught to yodel
from childhood, and cultivate remark
able powers in this direction. The
Alpine singers who appear here are
"natural born" Yodlers. and many of
their Chautauqua songs are exhibitions
of this form of singing.
In addition to their folk songs,, the
Swiss Alpine Yodlers, will sing a
number of national and popular Ameri
can songs. Comic songs and selections
which are enlivened by the acting of
the company are introduced through
out the program.
Of all the instruments used by, the
company throughout their concert their
zither is perhaps the most interesting.
The zither is. a limited instrument and
its possibilities can hardly be realized
until it is heard in the hands of, such
artists as Constance WunderJp, a
member of the Swiss Alpine company.
The Alpine Singers and Yodlers came
to America for the St. Louis Exposition
where they received such an enthusi
astic welcome that they remained
here, and have been touring this coun
try ever since. They sing entirely
without music and the incidental act
ing that accompanies each song on the
part of individual members makes
their program all the more interesting.
Appearing at the Chautauqua on the
fifth day with the Swiss Alpine Yod
lers will be Hans P. Freece, the ex
Mormon, who will lecture on the
practices of Mormonism. Mr. Freece
is well acquainted with his subject,
having been born and brought up a
Mormon in a little Utah hamlet. His
mother was a plural wife, who, how
ever, was greatly opposed to the prac
tices of the Mormon church and did
every thing, within her power to bring
her children under Christian influences.
She sent Hans Freece to a Christian
school, - which he left at the age of
seventeen to make his .own way in the
world. He worked his" way through a
western college and later graduated
from Columbia university and began
the practice of . law. Since his earJyJ
youth, he has been bitterly opposed to
Mormonism and. has waged a long
campaign against what he considers
its pernicious influences. In the fall
of 1910, with Mrs. Freece, Mr. Freece
conducted an anti-Morman campaign
throughout Great Britain, Holland and
Denmark. This was followed in 1911

SOME ORLEANS COUNTY
CONG'L CHURCH HISTORY
In its report of the recent Orleans
county conference of Congregational
churches at Westmore the Monitor .
made reference to the very complete
and instructive report of the registrar.
Kev. M. W. Farman of Westfield which
was read by Rev. L. A. Edwards of
Newport, owing to Mr. Farman's ina
bility to be present owing to the ill
ness of his mother. Because of an
expression of a desire by many for the
substance of this report F. W. Baldwin
of Barton offered to edit the same and
see that each church had a copy of the
report The matter is of such interest
hat the Monitor publishes it herewith.

arman of the Orleans Association of

gational churches has completed anoth
