However mucli we may differ an to
the legality or the expediency of tho

Nevertheless thero are many things

building which he may be called im

be appreciated by tho public, though
uiunts. On either side of the proscen

raised decorations of papier macho and
handsome draperies which will easily
seat six persons each. The parquet is
rich in its heavy bruBsels carpet, the
chairs .like those in the balconies, be

frames. The two circular balconies
wi.h their polished brass railings liko
those about the boxes are strikingly
effective, us are tho highly polished
cliandoiiois and side lights, for gas
and electricity. In front of the stage
is tne orchestra pit, entrance to which
is from tue under stage. Tne proscen

Miss Williamson, Mrs. Tyler.
A quiet wedding was that at the
Episcopal church Wednosdity afternoon
when X.olia, daunhtor of I. H. Wil
liamson was united by Rev. W. H. Col
lins to E. A. Tyler of the Brooks house
A few members of tho immediate family
of the brido only were present. Tho
happy pair toon the 4 10 train south
for New York, purposing from there to
go to LueDec to witness tne storming
of the ice palace at tho Carnival and
to return borne after a bridal trip of a
tortnignt. Ho quietly had all the ar
rangoments been made, that few ex
cept the guests and employees of the
Brooks bouso had a chance to offer their
congratulations, which the latter did
in a measure to compare with the
quantities of rice with which the de
parture of the pair was showered at tho
depot.
Miss Williamson, who has lived with
her parents at tho Brooks house for
two years past has won a deep placo in
tho hearts of Brattleboro people and in
her Mr. Tylor baa won a wife tt rare
loveliness of character and mind, a de
scendant of one of Now Jersey's his
toric families, of which Hugh Wil
liamson, one of tho trainers of tho con
stitution, was a member. Her grand
father was the distinguished Chancel
lor Livingston of that state, and her
great-grandfather was for 13 years its
governor. Miss Williamson, who has
a handsome fortuno in her own right,
has in her quiet and blessing-bringing
way done a great deal while here for
tne poor and sutlering, and many are
tno prayers tnat win go up for the long
life of happiness and usefulness she do
serves, and many will be tho felicita
tions that Brattleboro is apparently
to do ner permanent nome.

Hame way for the other parts of the

made up of able and public spirited

sincerely anxious to do their best for
the town, but incu who were not only
busy with their own alfairs but entire

sirable for such complicated work as
: wad involved in this enterprise. Al
most any of us are competent to buss
opinion "on Buch jobs when completed,
when our judgment from plans und
drawings of what would be the result
, would bo simply worthless. This is an
i important fact to bo remembered in

stair aud entry-way. A gallery has
been built around three sides of the
hall, but so high ep and so narrow as
to be an object of criticism. The
stage is portablo and can be placed in
any part.of the room. .The ventilation
is secured through the cinuiney witn
an opening just above tlio floor, but
just where the cold air is to comes in
is not apparent, unless it come from
opening the doors. The decoration of
the celling and walls ia in good taste
and the acoustics arc pronounced by
musicians to be much superior to the
old hall. The floor is rough and will
hardly invite inspection from the
dancing element.
The galleries are reached from

Kambusch & Petitt of New York who
did it, gave us moro than their con
tract called for. The drop curtain and
the landscape scone on it is excellently
done, though there is hardly enough
high lights in the drapery, and the
painting on the proscenium arch, on
canvass and in oils, is exceedingly
good. Tho brass work is also well
done. The papier-mache work is put
together somewhat roughly, but all we
eould expect for tho expenditure. The
caps of the columns in the boxes,
which an' reiinaissaiice, are very nice,
but why couldn't some saint hare
made the shaft to fit the cap or the
1 cap to fit tho shaft? But aside from
the j this tho boxes are of very pleasing de
I ho :sien.
