Tt113 Al1Yo9Ar», • The Luck of iiociers McCallum, .Entertaining a Scotch nobleman in disguise, helping him out of a difficulty and then being treated to a trip through Europe, was the pleasant fate that befel Drs. J. A. and D. D. McCal- lum, of Orestline, Ohio, former resi- dents of Exeter. The two doctors are brothers, and have many relativas and friends here to whom their pleasant adventure will be interesting. One day last summer a young man got off a through train at Crestline; Ohio, and went to the office of Drs. McCal- lum, and they befriended him. They lent him money,' put him at the best hotel in town and took him autowo biling. After a week had passed a sub stanial sum of money arrived from Scotland, and it became apparent that the young stranger was very rich. He repaid his two friends the money they had spent on him and went away. Not long afterwards the doctors re- ceived a letter from Baron St. Ossill, of Scotland, thanking, them for be- friending his son and inviting them to visit him at his own expense. The doctors promptly accepted ,the invit- ation. They crossed the ocean on the steamer "Celtic and were treated in a princely fashion by their hosts. The doctors remained six weeks in the old Land, and were taken on a tour of Ire- land, England, and France by the baron and his son. They have just recently arrived home and the inter- esting story has leaked out. School Board Minutes. Meeting of the Board held in. Town Hall, Feb. 19. Absent F. Wood.

A White Season. "Despite the free use of vivid colors, these will be in the minority, and the corning season will be distinctively and emphatically white, The high elass tailors report that white broadcloth, serge and flannel, are in unprecedent- ed demandfor simple walking costumes as well as for visiting and driving. They advise their patrons to select only high grade material, because the cheaper varieties soil very much more readily. Piques are going to be worn andthey will be particularly smart for morning frocks, and also for separate coats and wraps, The piques show various styles of cording; from very fine:to,very heavy, and their firmness delights the heart of the ladies' tailor: Eyelet embroidery shows to advantage on pique, either by itself or in combin- ation with Irish lace. Hedebo.or Dan- ish cutwork is also used, and promises. to be as popular as the Hardanger of recent seasons. The vogue for white gowns necessitates • a cznrespo nd ing one for white hats; both in felt and in lingerie. The white felt hats will be worn late, into the advancing spring, The, felt is of the same fine variety in- troduced during the winter, and the trimming shows wreaths .of tulle vol- uminously plaited. and curling tips that nestle above thee ear."—Helen Berkeley Lloyd in the Delineator for March. In the Magristretes' Court. A case of suit for wages came up be- fore Magistrates Farmer and Kay in the Town Hall on Tuesday afternoon last. The plaintiffs were Misses Pick- arde and Cairnes, late of the Irish Pro- fessor's Medicine Company, and the defendant was the Professor. After the evidence for' the plaintiffs had been given, the defendant not having the witnesses he wished present,' asked for a postponement, but the magis- trates decided that the case should go on, whereupon no defence was offered and the defendant walked out of court. The magistrates thea gave judgment for the claimed wages $25 and $20. Considerable interest was manifested in the alleged assault case of Pickarde vs. Sullivan which came up for hear- ing on Tuesday night last before Mag- istrates Kay and Farmer. The court room was packed to overflowing. The parties in the suit were two members of the DeAlva Concert Company the one being Miss Pickarde; who assisted in the company, while the other, Dr. DeAlva Sullivan, the manager. On Sunday night some little difference arose when it is alleged that the Dr. made an assault on Miss Pickarde. Several witnesses were examined and considerable evidence was deduced, which went to show that no great harm bad been done, The magistrates however, decided to withhold judg- ment that the evidence might be sub- mitted to the Crown Attorney. Such was done on Wednesday afternoon and the case was dismissed. Additional Locals on page 1.
