THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BKATTLEBOHO, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1910. RECORD OF SEVENTY Interesting Program, Including Historical Address, in tho Anniver sary Exercises of the Baptist Bible School Remarks by Mem bers Who Were in tho School Whon It Started Memories of the old days and bright hopes for tho future were mingled In the observance of tho 70th anniversary of the formation of the First Baptist Bible school which was held in the church Sunday. Many of the older members of the church and tho school were present at the morning service which was given over to an appropriate observance of the anniversary. The church was decorated with potted plants and cut flowers and the chapel was made gay with wild flowers Supt. L. W. Hawley. by Miss Lillian Newton's class. The entire school marched Into the church In a long processional and occupied seats In the centre. After the special musical prugram by the choir Rev. James Xor cross, New England secretary of the American Baptist Homo Missionary so ciety, gave an energetic and pithy ad dress on the signitlcance of the Sunday school movement. At the close of the sen-ice in the church the Bible school marched back into the chapel, where the anniversary exercises were held. After a brief de votional service L. W. Hawley, super intendent, read a number of letters from former members of the school and former pastors of the church. Among those who wrote congratulatory messages and greetings were Hev. George B. Gow of Glens Falls, N. Y., Rev. F. E. Tower of Albany, N. Y., and Rev. George B. Lawson, principal of Vermont academy, all former pastors of the church: Dr. O, B. Douglas of Concord, N. H., a former superintendant of the Sunday school, Rev. Marlon Lawrance of Chi ANOTHER WONDERFUL .FLIGHT. Charles K. Hamilton Made Trip by Aeroplane from New York to Philadel phia and Return Charles K. Hamilton arose from Gov ernors Island at New York In an aero plane Monday morning and sped without a break SS miles to Philadelphia in a remarkable cross-country flight under the auspices of the New York Times and the Philadelphia Publlo Ledger. He made the trip In one hour and 51 minutes, leaving Governors island at 7.35 and land ing at Philadelphia at 9.26. Alighting at Aviation field he delivered letters from Gov. Hughes and Mayor Gaynor to Gov. Stuart and Mayor Reyburn', accepted messages of congratulations from them to bear in return, and started for New York again, with only brief Intermission for food, fuel and oil. He had flown approximately 70 miles of his return Journey when a slugging motor drove him to descend In a swamp near South Amboy, N. J., at 12.55 p, m. The propeller was broken there In land ing, but after repairs had been made Hamilton resumed his flight at 6.20 and landed at Governors Island at 6.39. Thus the return trip was made In one hour and 36 minutes a,t an estimated average speed of 64.96 miles an hour, which breaks the record made by Curtlss's flight from Albany to New York. That Hamilton did not make the re- turn trip as easily as the outgoing trip was due only to an omission due to haste. In his hurry to get away he neglected to clear his spark plugs; they fouled, the engine balked and he had to come down on the banks of the Rarltan river, two miles above South Amboy. Curtlss still holds tho official record for speed, but Hamilton Monday took all American records for cross-country dis tance. Montreal Newspaper Plant Wrecked The newspaper plant of the Montreal Herald was wrecked Monday and from 20 to 30 persons. Including several linotype operators, lost their lives. The supports of the sprinkler system tanks on tho roof gave way and a mass of metal and water weighing 35 tons crashed to the base ment. The stereotyping furnaces spread coals on each floor as they fell,-, and Are broke out on each floor simultaneously, adding Its horrors to the disaster. The property, which was valued at ?150,000, was not wholly destroyed. r'AwllBt'-- -WlaVBIIIIIIIIIIIH It will do anything that more expensive soaps will do; and, at the same time, it costs so little that you can use it freely without feeling that you are wasteful or extravagant Buy a cake.

YEARS REVIEWED cago, field secretary of the International Sunday School association; Rev. Guy C. Ijimson of Hyde Park. Mass., Rev, M, V. Rugg of Columbus, Ohio, and Rev. B. W. Tuller of Manchester, this state, all three of whom were members of the Bible pchool before they entered upon their work as pastors, anl Rev. Alexan der Macgeorge of Haabrook Heights, N. Y formerly state evangelist. An In teresting hstotical sketch was given by J Edward Hall. Mr. Hall's historical sketch showed that for the first 10 years of tho school's ex istence no records were kept and there was no regular organization. Rev. Mr. Field, the first minister of tho church, was instrumental In forming tho school In 1840 and was Its first superintendent, Deacon Jacob Estey was tho second and Isaac Hlnes tho third, the latter serving until the regular organization In 1SS0. Other superintendent! In their order, have been J. A. Farwcll, O. R. Post, E. E. White, O. R. Post, C. L. Brown, C. Raymond, A. G. Nourse, George E. Hlg ley O. B. Douglas, George E. Hlgley, A. A. Cheney, S. II. Warren, J. J. Estoy and L. W. Hawley, tho latter having served since 18S5. At the 26th anniver sary a record was made as follows: "Our Sunday school commenced In 1840, twenty-six years ago, In a hall, now Joseph Clark's store." The average at tendance In 1840 was 23. Tho membership In 1909 was 479. The largest attendance In the history of the school was BOO, on rally day, 10 years ago. The collections have amounted to several hundred dollars each year, tho amount In 1876 being $532, of which 1300 was for missions. Several hundred members of the school have united with the church, the number In 1902 being 6S, Tho report mentioned the various excursions and picnics which the school hns enjoyed and of assistance ren dered to other schools. In one place the records showed a roll of honor which contained tho names of 15 Civil war vet erans. -In November, 1S66. the school voted to attempt to procure a bell to place In the steeple of the new meeting house, and In September, 1S6S, the bell was placed in position, the school paying J717 townrd Its purchase. Services for the Installation of officers were held in July, 1S99, and they have been held nearly every year since then. The sketch noted the practice of the school in recent years of giving at Christmas time to those "more needy than ourselves." Events of years past were called up by the reminiscent remarks of Miss Frances Elliot, Mrs. Abby E. Fuller and Mrs. Lucy A. Cox, who were members of the school when it was started 70 years ago. Reminiscences were given also by Sherman H. Warren of Auburn, Mass., n former superintendent. Mrs. Warren E. Banks and Mrs. Addle C. Van Doorn. The talcs of the old days paved the way for a few earnest words from the super intendent, L. W. Hawley, on the outlook for the school In the future. DOVER. Corse Golden Wedding In West North field.

Interesting Statistics About the School Given to Trustees In Principal Cutter's Annual Report. Tho annual meeting of the trustees of Mount Hermon school was held Monday In Holbrook hall. A feature of tho meet ing was Principal Henry F. Cutler's an nual report in which he sketched the progress and development of Mount Her mon during the decado since the death of the founder, Dwight L. Moody, In 1899. Mr. Cutler emphasized that Mr. Moody's plans and purposes for the school had been followed ns far as they were understood, and that Mr. Moody's watchword "to help" had been the watchword of the school during these years. Somo very Interesting statistics wero given. Of tho 6172 students In the last 29 years of tho school up to Janu ary 1. 1910. 3365 have entered during these last 10 years. During this period 47 out of 51 states and territories and Porto Rico, also 55 foreign countries, have been represented. They have gone away In all directions, so that now Mount Hermon Is represented by her former students in every state and ter ritory of the Union and 22 foreign coun tries. Within the post 10 years 10 new buildings have been erected. Including West hall, a dining hall with capacity for 1000; Holbrook hall, the administration building: a gymnasium and central heat Inir nlant. Besides these, three buildings have been enlarged or remodeled, and four residences for teachers have been built. During this period a department of agriculture has been added, and among other things mentioned ho calls attention to tho care Mount Hermon forests are receiving at the present time, and that 150 acres of pine seedlings have been nlnnted within the past row years, Men years ago the endowment of tho school was $337,000; at the present time It is $543,000, making an increase In 10 years of $206,000. The amount 10 years ago In the permanent plant was $451.ooo,at tho pres ent tlmo this amount Is $786,000, making an Increase In the 10 years of $335,000. This makes a permanent Increase In the 10 years of $541,000, an average Increase each year of $51,100. The running ex penses during the last nscai year aver aged $365 per day. Of the Increase from all sources 69 per cent has been used for running expenses, 19vper cent for perma nent Improvements In buildings and 12 per cent for permanent endowment. The money put into buildings and endowment was given for those special purposes. Mount Hlermon still attracts tne samo type of men as those for whom Mr. Moody founded tho school. Nearly 60 per cent of the students now In school had some trade or occupation before en tering, and at the present time 47 per cent are responsible for all or tho greater part of their expenses. With regard to the present stu dents he makes the Interesting state ment that 48 per cent of them first learned of Mount Hermon through some former student. A significant feature of the progress of the last decade has been the manifestation of loyalty on the part of the former students.

Mrs, Lizzie Robinson Nichols, wlfo of William F. Nichols, cashier of Mount Hermon school, died at her home, at 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, Juno 9. Mrs. Nichols's early home was In Hardwick. She entered Northfleld seminary In 1SS0, the second year of that Institution. Sho was connected with Mount Hermon In one capacity or another from 1881. when In tho summer of that year D. L, Moody brought lfer over to bo matron of the South farm house, until her marriage to Mr. Nichols In 18S9, In the year 1883-81 she was a special student at Wellesley, and In tho year 'SI she resumed nor class room duties at O. J. PRATT Mount Hermon. Mrs. Nichols had lived continuously at Mount Hermon since her marriage and had taken an active part In the church and many other activities of the school life. She is survived by her husband, a son Philip, and two sisters, Mrs. S. L. Thrasher, and Mrs. Benjamin Hall of Hard wick. The Milk Controversy Settled. An agreement has been reached be tween tho milk contractors and the rep resentatives of the producers by which the winter price of milk will bo paid for 10 months, beginning July 1. and the con tracts will run to May 1, 1911. This is a victory for the producers. It does not secure all that was demanded, which was the winter price throughout the year, but It secures what the contractors refused to consider at the beginning of the con test. While this controversy, or milk strike, ns It Is termed, has Been unfortu nate and caused some hardship and much expense. It was the only course to take to enable the producers to secure any recognition of their rights. The contrac tors had dominated the producers for so many years that they expected to con tinue. Under the leadership of President Abbott and Secretary Hunter of the Milk Producers' company, loyally supported by the producers, a partial victory has been won. The results secured are so reason able that It should not have required so much effort to secure them. Wage Scale Affecting 1000 Granite Workers. The new scale of wages agreed upon by the granite quarry owners of Montpeller and Barre, that Is to be In force until March 1, 1915, and which has been signed by representatives of both sides, went Into effect Monday. About 1,000 quarry workers are nffected. The new schedule calls for five-year agreement with a minimum wage of 27 cents an hour, with eight-hour day and weekly pay. Heretofore the quarries have always been worked under so-called "average" bill, while the cutters and workers In other branches of the granite Industry have been under a minimum wage bill. Ever since the strike was settled in February negotiations have been In prog ress to bring the quarrymen under a like agreement with the other allied trades In the granite business and to have them adq.pt a bill of prices that shall expire at the samo tlmo as does that of the cutters and blacksmiths. The agreement that went Into effect Mon day accomplishes this, and no one need anticipate any more labor troubles among granite men before March 1, 1915, The Late John L, Bacon' Farm Sold for $16,000. Malcolm W, Nlven, a New York law yer, has bought "Marshland" from the heirs of John L. Bacon for $16,000. This estate is situated in Quechee, (In the town of Hartford,) contains 4S5 acres and was used by Mr, Bacon as a summer home. He spent thousands of dollars In its development. It was originally the home of Lieut. Gov. Marsh, one of the first lieutenant-governors of the state and Mr. Bacon selected the name "Marshland" to perpetuate the name of its rounder. Snowballing In June. A party of botanists who arrived In Rutland Monday from a trip or expior ation to Mount Horrid In Rochester had the unusual experience of snowballing In Vermont In June.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. Forty Per Cent of the Scales In Use In Vermont Said to be Inaccurate Confer ence Called by the Governor. Fifty representative citizens and county and local officials from different parts of the state were present in Montpeller June S at the conference called by Gov. O. H. Prouty to discuss the subject of standard weights and measures and the matter was left with the governor to appoint a committee of five to draft a bill to be considered by the next legislature, which will Include tho appointment of state sealer of weights and measures. S. 8. Holbrook, of the bureau of stand ards of the department of commerce and labor at Washington, gave a report of the conditions which the government offi cials found to exist In Vermont. Forty per cent of the scales In use here were not accurate and of these SO per cent gave short welgnt. Liquid measure was found to bo used where the law called for the use of dry measure. The liquid is 15 per cent less than the dry. This, accord ing to the report, stifles honest competi tion and Injures the dealer who is trying to give the people Just what Is paid for. In tho samo store one brand of print butter was found to be one and one eighth ounce short of the pound while another brand was found to be as much overweight. Some merchants who buy vegetables by the weight have been found to be using wrong weights, giving 50 In stead of 62 pounds for a bushel of pota toes, 60 Instead of 52 pounds for onions; 40 and 45 Instead of 46 for apples. Honest competition is' Impossible owing to the fact that some dealers have been found who gave 13 per cent short on everything. In tho preparing of package goods for delivery there has been a good field for the use of wrong weights. In somo cases this has been due to the use of faulty- apparatus while In others the apparatus was found to be all right, plainly Indicat ing that the short weights were due to fraud. Vermont is not alono In this class, the same conditions being found In other states where a bureau of inspection does not exist. Sold 20 Acres for $25,000. J. D. Pratt of Clarendon sold Monday to the Clarendon Valley Marble company, owned largely by New York men, 20 acres of land from his farm In Clarendon fori $25,000. The big price Is said to be due to the fact that the concern recently discovered a vein of pure white marble on the property. Some months ago the concern leased 20 acres adjoining the piece Just bought and they have been Installing machinery and working a few men for somo time. It is expected that the company will establish a permanent Industry In Clarendon, employing 30 or moro hands. Read what Dr. Charles Parkhurat, Editor of Zlon's Herald, says In a Recent Is sue. "If Installation of a Glenwood Range will bring as much relief, comfort and delight to other homes as it has to that of the editor of the Herald, then we could hope that one would be purchased at an early date by many of our readers, Tho range which gives such pronounced satisfaction Is the Cabinet Glenwood, with gas attachments.
