Tubbs has moved into the bouse vacated'by L. Mallory. Mrs. Thos. Logan of East Albany, is in the^village visiting relatives L. Mallory has taken possession of bis tew house on Railroad avenue. \ SBarvey Seymour of New York, spent Sunday at his home in this village.

Will Drumm, a former resident of- this village, is in town again after a long absence. - Chas. Groom moves to Wappingers Falls, instead of Troy, as stated in this . paper two weeks ago. Eight new men were added to the force of trackmen of the Boston & Albany rail- • road at this place yesterday. Baker Gage has been delayed in placing the oven in his new bakery. Some of the parts were miscarried to Chatham, Mass. Chas. C. Coffin was seriously injured while moving a piano, last Friday, and is confined to his home on Coleman avenue. A. L. Tubbs, local editor of Washington County Advertiser, Fort Edward, N. Y., has been visiting his brother, G. C. Tubbs. The Chatham Dramatic Association \ -will present the comedy, “ Finnegan ’ s Fortune, ” in the village hall at Kinder- book, to-morrow evening. Bion L. Burrows and Fred Crandall, of New York, were in town Sunday. On his return, Mr. Burrows was accompanied by his sister, Miss Ethel Burrows. The “ Smudge Club, ” a branch of tbe “ Seldom Workers, ” bave constructed a portable boat-bouse, to be put up at Co- pake lake for camping pursuits. One-half of a dirty dozen of labor dodgers lodged in the cooler Saturday night. They were all discharged by Jus- . tice McClellan on Sunday morning. Mrs. Isaac Smith of Brooklyn, is visit- ing at W. M. Finch ’ s. Mrs. Finch will probably occupy the Downing residence on Fairview avenue, the coming summer. Peter Swab, the enterprising wagon- maker of Central square, will commence \ the building of an extensive addition to his present shop oh Monday of next week. / The blessings of the villagers are due / to the man who illuminated the dials of I the town clock, and we trust he is receiv- | ing them. It is high time. (No bricks, \ please.) ^ The New England supper given at the Reformed church parlors. Friday evening, was largely attended, and netted about §65. A pleasing musical program was rendered by local talent. Frank Riley of Trumbull, Conn., was pretty badly bruised up by getting caught in the machinery in the paper mill where he was working some days ago. He is now at his home in this place nursing his wounds. Regular communication of Cokgpbia Lodge No' 98, F. and A. M., on Friday evening next, April 5. R. W. John F. Shafer, D. D. G. M., Twelfth Masonic district, is expected to be present for bis first official visit. A resident of this village accused another resident, it is reported, of selling his vote for §25. That was an easy enough thing to do. But how the accused party wants him to prove it in cpurt. That ’ s another chapter. H. A. Ashley, of this village, was hap pily married on last Thursday evening, at the Reformed parsonage, by Rev. T. S. Brown, to Miss Theresa Peters, of Har- lemville. We wish them a happy life and liope their flour-barrel will never he empty. . rSlll has been introduced in the Illi nois Legislature to levy a tax on bache lors. If such a bill became a law in this state, the business manager and the substi tute editor of this paper would have to pay the tax. Wouldn ’ t we, “ Uncle ” Wal lace ? As it is, the only large tax we have to pay is the income tax. Harry Dolen is home on a visit. John Kilbridge spent Sunday in Troy.' J. L. Martin, of Albany, was in town yesterday calling on old friends. Miss Dora Callender returned, yester day, from a visit to Richmond, Mass. At the village trustee meeting last even ing a few hills were audited, and regular routine business transacted. Mrs. M. J. Rorke and son, Russell, of New York city, spent the past few days in this village, visiting friends. Mr. Fake of the New York Store will occupy the bouse on Kinderhook street vacated by Mr. Van Debogart. Miss Louise Rice returned to New York, Thursday, after a several weeks ’ visit at the home of her aunt, Mrs. H. N. Wright. Friendship Lodge No. 95, K. of P., will meet for the first time in their new quarters, this evening, and work the third rank Commissioner Mickle will hold teachers ’ examinations for second and third grades, at Kinderhook, on Friday and Satur day next. Rev. Dr. Van Buren will occupy the pulpit of the M. E. Chnrch, Sunday morning. The evening service will be in charge of tbe Epworth League. A. H. Meecb, who has been boused with .an attack of grippe for the past four or five weeks, is very much better, and expects to get out this week. The annual meeting of the Woman ’ s Foreign Missionary society of the Re formed church for the election of officers, and to close up the year ’ s work, will be held in the Sunday school rooms, Thurs day afternoon at three o ’ clock. The quarterly meeting of the Ladies ’ Aid society of the M. E. church will he held Friday afternoon at 8 o ’ clock. Im portant business is to be transacted. All members are invited to attend and bring something towards a 5 o ’ clock tea. The sacrament of baptism will be ad ministered at St. Luke ’ s church on the afternoon of Easter Day. The Rt. Rev. W. Croswell. Doane, Bishop of Albany, will hold a confirmation at the above church on the afternoon of Thursday, April 18. The down train on the Hudson Branch, yesterday morning, met with an accident just below Pulver ’ s and one car was de railed, causing a delay of about three hours, as the wrecking car had to be called into service. It was caused by some defect in the truck. An attempt was made to wreck a train on the Harlem railroad, below White Plains, last week, by piling ties on the track, but fortunately the engineer was able to stop his train in time to avoid dis aster. It was a theatre train loaded with people returning from New York. Editor Streeter is still improving slowly. Frank Burrows, of Albany, has been trying to fill his place on the R epub lican for the past three weeks. Mr. Streeter ’ s physician has flatly refused to allow his patient to see a copy of the paper during that time for fear he would have a relapse. Rev. Dr. Miller left yesterday to attend conference, to be heldin St.James ’ church, Kingston, commencing to-day. In all probability he will not return to this charge. We understand that his name is among those mentioned to succeed Rev. Dr. Travis as presiding elder of the Poughkeepsie district. “ What-is-it ” . suppers are a new wrinkle for church entertainments. You pay for your supper and then guess what you are eating. This may be a new thing in church suppers, but we know of a good many boarding-houses where there isn ’ t any novelty about it — they keep a fellow eternally guessing. Cashier Salmon wishes us to say that the new vault in the State hank will he open to public inspection on Saturday afternoon from 1 to 5 o ’ clock. This is done because so many village people ask to * * see the vault that a great deal of val uable time is taken and no little confusion caused by granting their requests. Miss Eva Rilling of this village, who graduated from the Albany Business College last week, has securred an excel lent position as stenographer with Mr. T. B. Basselin of Crogham, N. Y. Miss Rilling made quite remarkable progress at the college, having finished her course in less than twenty weeks and secured a good position. The college is evidently meeting with success in securing for its students empolyment as soon as qualified. AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE. Messrs. Halstead & Pierson, who have been well-known here as the leading dealers in agricultural implements and coal for a number of years, have sold out their coal and wood branch of the business to Sterne & Boice. The deal was con summated owing to the increase in busi ness,\ and Halstead & Pierson will here after devote their entire attention to the handling of agricultural imple ments and supplies. In this line of busi ness they are well and favorably known throughout the county. They will retain that part of their plant east of the main entrance which includes the business office. Sterne & Boice are also well known in the coal business here, and .will now have their new office located opposite that of Halstead & Pierson, across the main entrance, and the new plant will include all buildings on the west side, together with the extensive sheds and wood yard located alongside the B. & A. side-tracks. Both firms have the best wishes of the R epublican for future prosperity. CYCtETS. About Wheels and Wheelmen, JLocal and Otherwise. Local wheelmen are brushing up. A Hudson man recently traded an ordi nary for a canary bird. V, What is the matter with the Chatham club having a club room ? • F. Burrows will ride a twenty-two pound Union Special this season. W. C. Beebe will ride and handle the Columbia wheel the coming season. . Some of our local riders have been out riding on the “ edges, ” so to speak. A good, hard rain would soon put the roads in ridable shape in this section. W. A. Dardess has taken the agency for the celebrated Lovell bicycles for this section. Make a memorandum of the number of your wheel. It may be useful to you some time. Doc. has a 128-mile day ’ s run laid out. Don ’ t think he will make it before break fast, however. Hard-tired safeties, which originally cost from $75 to $125, can now be bought for from $8 to $20. Harry Doty, local editor of the Courier, says he is going to ride a Vheel built for bim by Chas. Abrams. There is a call for a meeting of the Chatham Wheeling club to meet in Village Hall next Monday evening. Riders and makers of bicycles are going back to the old single tube, or hose-pipe tires, as the most desirable and durable. John Traver is local agent for the Eagle. The sample wheel on exhibition in J. R. Walton ’ s window attracts considerable at tention. i A western wheelman placed to his credit for last season ’ s riding over 23,000 miles — nearly the entire distance around the globe. The bicycle “ fever, ” instead of abat ing, is on the increase, and there will be many more wheels here this season than ever before. . Charles Abrams, the ingenious pro prietor of the machine shop on Central square, is going to build a tandem bieycle, and expects to have it finished about the first of June. A new world ’ s record for one-third of a mile was made by Cyclist 'Allan Jones at San Jose, Cal., last week. . Time 42 1-5 seconds, beating the former record by Tyler by 1 3-5 second. F. E. Page visited the Warwick bicycle factory in Springfield, Mass., this week. He will ride one of their fourteen- pound racers this season, and expects to go into training soon. > Arthur Zimmerman has decided to ac cept the challenge of Hubert Houben for a series of three races for $5,000 a side, to be held in France. Houben is undis puted champion of all Europe. It is a good thing to have a cyclometer on your wheel. The comparative results of the season ’ s riding will be interesting. It is also a good thing to measure dis tances between points of interest on local runs. Here is a good suggestion from the Hudson Sunday Journal: “ We would like to see the wheelmen of Chatham, Philmont, Stottville and Hudson combine and build a cinder path from Hudson to Chatham. It seems to us that the plan is feasible and that enough money could be secured for the purpose. ” THINGS THE REPUBLICAN WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. Why E. M. H. drives so much on Wood- bridge avenue. Why D. H. Angell doesn ’ t raise his sidewalk on Kinderhook street. Why the two young men who meet on High, never speak as they pass by. Why Uncle Jim ’ s fish stories always grow a little every time they are told. How many physicians ’ mistakes are covered by the earth in the Rural ceme tery. THINGS THE REPUBLICAN WOULD LIKE TO SEE. Dust. Money. The inan who stole F. E. P. ’ s voice return it. The Village Fathers put a price per hour on the boats. W. A. D. and W. C. B. when they didn ’ t, both think the same. ' F. B. get hold of that draft he was once so soft as to return to his Pa. A man with a better disposition in prosperity or adversity than C. W. S. WORKING A NEW TRICK ON FARMERS. Farmers in the vicinity of Frankfort are being caught on the billboard privilege racket. Two men paint a sigh on the farmer ’ s fence, and give him a few dol lars to guarantee them that no one else will be premitted to paint signs over them. The farmer is asked to sign a receipt acknowledging the payment of the money in order that they can return the same to their employer. The receipt which he signs turns out to be a promis sory note for $200 or $500, as the case- may be. Columbia County. SPENCERTOWN. Have a bill to pay at Easter, and you ’ ll find Lent very short. , , It is very economical to fall in love with a girl who thinks theaters are wicked. H. W. Niles ’ sap-bush is in operation. Wm. Jones is able to be out again. FredLampman, of Junius, N. Y., is visiting at 5 : L. Smith ’ s. Rev. H. I. Hoag is attending the an nual M. E. conference at Kingston, N.Y. The many friends of Walter Almstead, of Austerlit;z, will be *orry to learn that he is confined in bed with his ten ible face trouble. A very interesting play, under direction of Wm. H. Barrett, will, it is hoped, be given by the young people of this place, in Academy hall, this month. The funeral of the late Hasea B. Par sons was held on Thursday. Rev. H. W. Bake,of the Presbyterian cliurch,officiated, assisted by Rev. T. S. Brown, of Chat ham. The services — reading of-scripture, prayer and brief addresses by both minis ters — were simple and appropriate Inas much as Mr. Parsons was an elder of the Spencertown church and the day was so inclement as to prevent many from attending, a memorial service was ap pointed for Sunday morning at the church. The text was from 1 Thess. 1, 2: “ The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. ” Dr. Bake made an able dis course from this selection of scripture, and at the clo^e of the sermon gave a brief sketch of the life of Mr Parsons, giving the date of his reception into the church, and his election to the eldership, and bearing testimony to the sterling worth of the man whom he had known and respected for many years. Deceased was endeared to all who knew him, and his memory will be cherished by a host of friends. EAST CHATHAM. Rev. C. F. Mayhew is visiting out-of- town friends for a few days. Mr. Simmons of Pittsfield, is loading several cars with lumber at this station. John Tierney has secured the position of brakeman on the Housatonic railroad. Mrs. Gouts, sister of Mrs. N. W. Cady, left for her new home in Newark, N. Y., on Tuesday. John Palmer had the misfortune to injure his hand quite badly while work ing with a buzz saw. If “ April showers bring forth May flowers, ” does it follow that April snows will bring forth May blows ? Mrs. E. P. Babcock still continues very ill. C. H. Johnson and Mrs. C. E. Pelton have also been ill for the past fetv days. Tickets for the “ poverty social, ” to be held at the M. E. parsonage on April 16, are already on sale. The admission is 15 cents. The Ladies ’ Aid society will meet at the Methodist church parlor on Thursday afternoon of this week, by invitation of Mrs. E. White. On Monday morning Trackmaster N. W. Cady started work with fourteen men. It is probable that more may be added to the number later on. There will be no preaching at the M. E. church next Sunday, owing to the ab sence of the pastor, Rev. B. E. Smith, who is attending conference at Kingston. The Home Workers will hold a “ forfit soshul ” at the home of Mrs. S. C. Knight on Friday evening of this week. “ Xtra gud vitels will be et durin the evnin fur 10 cents. ” All are invited. The interior of the Baptist church is greatly improved by the work which has recently been done there. The new'Seats present a fine appearance and will be heartily appreciated by all who occupy them. E. A. Beckwith did not sail from Liver pool last Wednesday, as was reported in the last issue of the R epublican . Your correspondent was misinformed. Mr. Beckwith is still in Europe and it is un certain when he may start for home. Among those from out of town who have been recent guests in this village we notice, Mrs. Chas. E.- Lombard of State Line, Mr. John W. Flanburgh of Dalton, Harry Murdock of Springfield, E. O. Palmer of New York, Miss Julia Wendell of Xiverville, and Mrs. Allen and little grand-son of New York. NORTH CHATHAM. The district school is again in full blast this week. Mrs. P. A. Gildersleeve has returned from her Greenbush visit. Miss Yan Steenburgh, of Albany, is a guest of Miss Millie Smith. At J. J. Johnson ’ s an invited company were entertained last week. Andrew Harder has purchased C J. Welder wax ’ s interest in the store. Three-year-old Edith Mary Travers gave a birthday tea party last week. Rev. G. W. Easton delivered an excel lent sermon on the divinity of Christ, last Sunday. A. L. Ring has been putting new win dow sash cord in the lower windows of the church. Miss Lillian Shoemaker has returned from a three months ’ visit in New York, Brooklyn and Staten Island. Samuel Fowler has subpoenaed six jurymen from this little, corner of the town to appear before justice Pelton this week at East Chatham. A company of young people from South Schodack were entertained at Charles Buell ’ s last week by the Misses Anna and Frances Buell. Mrs. Walter Bell and daughter, of Schodack Centre, are visitors at A. L. Ring ’ s; Mrs. John ' H. Moore, of East Albany, at A. P. Smith ’ s, and Will Budd and family and Lizzie Witbeck, of Castle- ton, at Andrew Harder ’ s. One of the uptown little boys, who dreams about Angels with wings, sat up in bed the other morning and asked his little brother Harvey if the Angels kissed him last night. The answer was “ No. ” He then safd, “ I guess your face was too dirty. ” That elopement, abduction, love affair, where cupid ’ s darts struck deep in the hearts of a tall young man and a pretty little 15-year-old girl, came to a head last week, when in the presence of the father the blue ribbon matrimonial knot was cemented between George Thomas and Amelia Oathout by Justice C. G. Yan Alstyne. There was a good attendance at the ice cream combination entertainment at the church, and everything went off accord ing to program, with singing, recitations, dialogues, etc. The foreign gossipers appeared to understand their business as well as if they had been in practice for years. The widow Bedott .party had a big time at. the dinner table eating roast Highest of all in Leavening Power. — Latest U. S. Gov ’ t Report Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE turkey stuffed with cotton, the riieat cut off and plastered over with' cracker puln and roasted to a nice brown. The widow carried off the prize — capturing the minister in the . materimonial net. The entertainment netted $23.05. A Good Opportunity. A good employment for ladies wishing to do a kind act, would be to do sewing for the Bufnban Industrial Farm at Canaan Four Corners, where there are fifty-eight boys from all parts of the Union. They need pillow cases % yard long by 34 yard wide, . and sheets 2% yards long and 1% yards wide. Surely here is a way in which every lady can help in a good cause. The American express will carry packages less than twenty poundg/free of charge. Address, Canaan Four Corners, N. Y. Tuition in Telegraphy. I am now forming new day and evening classes in Telegraphy and Typewriting in my school, for ladies and gentlemen, of which I will take charge myself and will give them personal instruction. To the young men and ladies of Chatham and vicinity I will arrange with them to make small weekly or monthly payments. Those desiring to receive instruction should call and see me at once, as this offer, will only remain open for a short time. F rank W hiteman .
