The .Champaign County Herald, pub lished at Urbana, III., contains an eleven column illustrated account of the dedica tion of tho new Baptist church in that place. The building was erected at a cost ot frXuuu and was dedicated free from debt. One of the building committee and the church treasurer, as well as one of the largest contributors to the enterprise, is Everett M. Knowllon, who will be pleas antly remembered hero by those who knew him when lie was employed by the Estey Organ company some 20 years ago. Mr Knowlton is now in the drug business in Urbana. The sorrow and sympathy aroused by the death of Alva S. Hubbard were shown by the largo congregation which gathered at the funeial Sunday afternoon, filling the Universalist church in every part. The Murray club and the Young People's un ion attended In a body, as did those young men of tho Wheel club who were Identi fied with the club when Mr. Hubbard was a member before his departure for the West. Tho members of the High school class of 18S7, with two classmates from Fitclihurg were also present, witli the teachers, Mrs. Elmer and Miss Howe. There was a profusion of beautiful (lowers. Rev. Mr. Maxwell conducted a simple and impressive service. The burial was in tho family lot In the Vernon cemetery near the Hubbard homestead. The Gormans played to a good house at the auditorium Monday night in "The Gllhoolys abroad." The piece Is an op eratic comedy, with no pretence of a plot. It consists, lustead, of a series of sketches so arranged as to permit the Introduction of entertaining specialties which bring out the gifts or talents of the performers who present them. Tho singing and dancing by the Gormans themselves were very clever. Nothing better of its kind has ever been seen here than the diversion by John and George Gorman introducing the "Grand Army step" to the dlillcult music of "Marching through Georgia." The sinclng and dancing specialties by Misses Winston, Clark, Grant and Starr were all good, and we imagine there could have been few in the audience who did not feel that the evening had afforded them their "money's worth" of rollicking fun. The Choral union at its meeting Mon day evening adopted a constitution and by-laws. An active membership is pro vided for to which any singer is eligible, the fee for women being 60 cents and $1 for men.

Re hearsals will be held each Wednesday evening at 7:30 until about June 1, when It Is hoped that the union will be able to give tome standard musical work. It Is very desirable that all Intending to join tho union should do so at once that they may have the benefit of all the rehearsals, the first of which will be held next Wed nesday evening In the chapel of the Con gregational church. It Is also requested that members come prepared to pay the annual fees. Between 40 and 60 joined the union at the meeting Monday night. Tho Hooker mansion Is taking on a be coming summer hue of colonial yellow. II. D. Ryder conducted a teachers' ex amination at the High school building on Friday. Rev. Justin 1).

All members and all singers of the town who wish to join the union will please be on hand at this rehearsal. An Interesting story is current of a sur gical operation, performed yesterday In an adjoining town, by an "unknown" prac tlctloner, who claimed to havo been sent by the family doctor, for which a good sized check was given, payable to "bear er." There may be more to tell about It later. Mrs. Sally Joy White read a paper on "A question In economics" before the Mas sachusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs held Wednesday at Watertown. It. was one of the largest gatherings ever held under the auspices of the federation. Over a thousand women were present, coming from every elub hi the state. As Mrs. C. l Miller, who occupies a tenement In U'lllistou block, was passing through a door hung with draperies with a pan of hot ashes in her hands yesterday morning the curtains swept across the pan and were Ignited. Mrs. Miller coolly tore down the biazlng curtains and smothered the lire by throwing an old skirt over It. W. II. H. Murray, familiarly known as "Adirondack Murray," lias been the guest of N. I. Hawley during the week. Ho In tends to return hero later hi the season for a longer stay, when he hopes to find matter that will help him in preparing a work on the Aliens Ira and Ethan the material for which he is now gathering from every available source. Company A of the boys' battalion will not hive their usual drill to-morrow even ing, as Lieut. Halgh thinks that they de servo a rest In view of their splendid work of last Wednesday evening. A field day Is planned for as soon as the ground is dry, and in a short time out-door drill will be gin in preparation for Decoration day, at which time the year's work ends. The street railroad company have con tracted for a new 2.10 horse power gener ator of the Westinghouse type, ISO.j pat tern, with all the latest improvements. Tlds generator will be run by the new en gine which the electric light company has bought. This purchase will give the rail road a double power equipment, and in case of necessity the two generators can be run together. Tills week lias brought ideal sap weath er. The sugar-makers have been busy and happy, and a large amount of their prod uct has been in ought to market. Yester day's shipments by express amounted to 3000 pounds. Prices, paid by dealers, have dropped to 10 cents for cake sugar, with 12 or 14 cents paid for some fancy lots. Pall susar ranges from seven to ten cents. Another week of good weather will bring the product up to the average. The conversation social last evening by the Baptist Endeavor society was not largely attended, but those who neglected to go missed a very enjoyable occasion. The discussiou of the well-chosen topics was brisk and spirited, and Its progressive feature Induced the utmost "sociability. Light refreshments wero served. The prize, which was awarded to the best con versationalist, fell to Rev. L. D. Temple by unanimous vote. A bag containing upholstery samples and catalogues, order books, and some ar ticles of wearing apparel was found on the cemetery bank above the railroad yes terday by E. M. Knowlton. Tho order books were marked with the name A. A. Pease, -10 Catherine street. SnrincDeld. Mass. The big was probably stolen and thrown away when the contents did not prove to be valuable. Next week Thursday evening is the date fixed by the Republican town committee for the caucus to elect delegates to the state and district conventions to be held April 20. The announcement will of it self be enough to call out a full attend ance. A good motto for this and other caucuses will bo to "Give the boys a chance." It is a good year not to repeat past blunders by making up tho delega tions from a stereotyped list of old stagers, who have grown gray in tills familiar ser vice. It is to be taken for granted, no doubt, that rumors which are eolne about the street of a purpose to make up a slato of rt-i..i , . . . . . .. iucrvuuey ueiegaies lor mo state ana dis trict conventions, and to have them move. if necessary, for an "instructed" delega tion to St. Louis, are without adequate foundation. What wo want for Brattle boro and for the state Is a delegation of representative Rupublicans, and no wise supporter of any presidential candidate, no matter how fervent his preference, will wish to have tho hands of the Vermont delegates tied in advance.

Gray Estey, were put through various evolutions by Lieut. Halgh, who has acted as their Instructor, Their "double quick" was received with much applause as was the touch of realism, when at the command "route step" the company assumed the careless, freo and easy step of tho march and began singing "John Brown's body." A platoon from Fuller battery under command of Captain Weld then gave a gun drill in a manner which Interested all, though it startled many of the ladles, who had just become used to the drill, when suddenly the gunners began to fire blanks. The sections were commanded by Ser geants Collins and Dion. The. "silent drill by the oliicers of Co. Band of the Cadets was finely done, ' following which Co.

Tills proved to be a basket ball game between the Y. M. C. A. team and the newly or ganized Estey Guard team. Two short halves were played, at the end of which the score was -1 to 3 ill favor of the Y..M. C. A. team, which won easily, though the guardsmen did some creditable playing and made a good showing for their first game. Louis Whitney made the star play for the Guard by throwing a coal within a few seconds after play was be gun, l lie line up was as follows: Y. m c. . estey nmnn Hone r f.
