Miss Nellie Moulton entertained a number of her friends last Monday evening at the home of her mother on Main street. The form of entertainment was unique for Mont. pener young people ana was Known as an auction party. Souvenirs of the occasion ot striking title, but of greater sentimental than real value, were purchased by the members of the company, Waite Sabih accepting the role of auctioneer. Just before the gathering dispersed the privilege ot escorting the various yoang ladies to their homes was sold at vendue by Harle Cummins.

The interesting feature of the sale was tbat the bidders were ignorant of whom they were bidding for, the auctioneer merely describing the virtues and attractions of tbe young ladles without giving their names. There were doubtless many startling surprises when the owners became the possessors ot tbe purchased property. Refreshments were served and the party proved blgblv entertaining and en lov able.

He was born inTebarma, the birthplace of Zoroaster, ana was thoroughly familiar witn tne history and customs of Persia, and his story of them brought tbe life of a Persian home vividly to his bearers. In the evening he spoke at the Baptist bouse before a large audience. He sang in several languages as he speaks and writes Syrlac, Hebrew and other languages as well as Persian and English.

Ot course, all that will not make any difference now that the bonds have been sold. Monl- nplter ntwar fni la tn nnv its bills and Will not in this case but it is interesting as show ing what a cbance thore is for controversy where everything appears all right. Many a western city has gotten rid of paying thousands of dollars' worth of bonds on technicalities of this kind and many others are trying to do the same thing. The city council was in regular session last Wednesday evening. It was voted to support the city health officer in his efforts to have water closets put in where he deems them necessary.

Overseer of the Poor Wheeler was directed to put In a bot air fur nace at me city laruiuouae insteaa oi a system of steam heating as he was previously ordered. Bills ordered paid were T. inborn lumber, $82.79 and T. R. Merrill, clerk, $663; James M.

Caroline IT. H. Wilder, to build a house aud connect It with sewer on Hubbard street. A petition was received for a new street lo connect Fuller-ton aud Hubbard streets, and the same as referred lo the committee on streets. Alderman Perrin, of the third ward, was delegated to confer with tire directors of the street railway company in regard to the Rialto bridge and decide whether it would be necessary to replace it before the cars can cross there.

The bridge across the North branch near the Lane Manufacturing Company's shops was ordered closed against travel until further orders. It was voted to soli the brick bui Mina: occumed bv T. J. Kei liner granite works that firm for $3,000, on condition that tbey move it off the land It now occupies, as that is wanted for the approach to the new Berlin bridge. The star course of entertainments under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian association for tbe coming winter will be a rare opportunity for the amusem*nt seeking public If the patronage is sufficient to permit tbe carrying out of the present plau.

The plan is to give a series of iu nrat-class enter tainments tor which season tickets are being sold at 1 each. The entertainments are of unusually high standard and the series cannot be given here unless at least 800 tick-ets are sold in advance. The members ot the Ladies' Auxiliary are now making a bouse to house cauvass lo Bell the required number of tickets if possible. Tbe list of attractions includes Mary French Field, In readings from the poems of Eugene Field, ber talented father: tbe Boston Star Orches tral club of 11 members, all of whom are of almost national reputation; the Kellogg Bird Carnival and Concert company, which isone of tbe most unique and interesting things now be tore the American nubile: ihe Temple sextette, being the old Temple quartette, with two new nieoiuers.added Katharine RIdgeway Concert company, which may be considered the successor of the Jessie Couthoui company and its equal in every particular; W.

Powers, wbo has been before the Montpelier public and needs no introduction. The series this veariaan experiment. It bas been tried with success in larger cities where there la a large public to give It but the indications are that it will prove a success here.

The dates run from October to April, inclusive. The ladies in charge of the tickets wish that all who wlsb for tickets would nronum timm it once, so that an estimate can be made, which win jusuiy mem iu bringing tbe series to Montpelier.

The Itinil lies of Jim Brown ana Ctmrlea Cellay re self," etc. On tne contrary ttiey seem to prefer lo live a life of strife and If one of tnein iu smitten on one olieefe he immediately smites the other fellow on both cheeks, in the law and under both eyes and kicks bimin be nit of the stomach, 11 be is able.

Last Sunday, according to tbe story told by the Celley family, wKu the chances that the ex act trutu is not in it, ueuey was out at the barn and his wife and child were in the House when Mr. and Mrs. Brown opened tbe door and entered. Thecbildaw them first and gve a yell of alarm. Mrs.

Celley saw that sne was outnumbered and screeched for ber husband. She then started io to defend her castle with her Hie if need be. Celley heard the cry ot alarm and was soon on tbe scene. Mrs. Brown was guarding the door and as he opened it she gave nim a swat in the eye that closed that optic.

She was no mate ior ueney, however, and in an instant he had seized her by the hair and stood ber on the back of ber neck in tbe yard and left ner tnere to watcn stars in 27 different direc tions. He re entered the kitchen, where he found Brown and Mrs Celley engaged hand-to band while the Infant alternately cheered and bellowed. Brown was trying to choke Mrs. Celley into submission, while she was busily occupied in collecting souvenirs of bis face and features by tbe vigorous use ot her finger nails, and now and then yanking out a handful ot hair. Brown was no match forthe pair, however, and he was ejected- witn more torceinan precision.

Brown ana hts wife left town within a few minutes for a carriage trip to Northfield or somewhere else, while Celley telephoned for a doctor to straighten out bis wile's windpipe. Both Celley and Brown are now busy trying to in terest the state's attorney, eacn on his side of the case, and meanwhile each is thought to be watching for a chance to drop a brick on the other's bead some dark evening. Brown was arrested on Tuesdav under a pro secution by Grand Juror Wedge and taken before Justice Lucia, where he pleaded guilty to disturbing the peace and was lined $5 and costs, amounting to $10 31. He paid the amount and was released. Many ot tbe best people on Berlin side now believe tbat the ends of justice would be furthered if tbe other party in the affair was given a similar installment.

The Republican last Thursday contain ed a three column article describing those two events, with a very appreciative account of the art gallery and Us treasures. Tbe following quotation is of interest as showing the opinion ot a competent critic: The eallery, however, is the creation of Mr.

Mr. Wood's great achievement, however, is in tbe line to which he has given ids greatest attention tbe reproduction of the portraits by Rembrandt.

Mr. Wood's owd genre pictures make a considerable part of the ornaments of the gallery. They are very well known in tiielr character in rour citv. where so tundt have found homes. and where he has painted so many portraits.
