UNCONSIDERED TR1FLES
Some Fncts, Scrlous nnil Frlvulous, ef
Intercst to tho l'coplc of Montpelier
and Yiclnlty.
My fnther namcd 1110 Autolycus;
whom, belng ns I tun, Httored undor
fltorcury, was Ukcwlse a snapper-up
of unconsidcrcd trlflcs Wlntcr's
Tule.
"I havrn't bccn ln jn.ll, 1'vo bccn
to collcEe," sald a nian who had bccn
conflned In Shcrlff Trncy's npart
ments. Pcrhaps ho was trylng to
tlodge the rccord o a formor convic

lic folt was mcrlted. Howovcr tliat
may be, Shcrlff Tracj- js conductlng
h klndergarten If not a collego and lt
ls an nctual advantage to somo men to
be conflned thcre. '
I wonder If lt wouldn't bo an ad
vantage to soclcty lf some men could
be caught carller and sent to somo
almllar Instltutlon. I)r. Johnson uscd
to say that a good deal could bo done
wlth a Scotchman lf ho was caught
early enough. So too, a grcad deal
might be done wlth tho ordlnary
youth spmng from poor surroundlngs
lf caught early enough. The troublo
is that ho usually runs hls own pace
when young, and lt Is not untll later
Avhen he has passod the posslblo age
of coininitincnt to the Industrlal
School at Verfgennes, that ho be-
vomes the purvlew of the law.
Under the rnaiiagement of Superin
tendent Barss sonie unusually good
work ls belng done at tho State ln
Uustrial School at Vergennes, lt ls
ln fact the only school ln the State
wherc you can acquire real Industrlal
"lcnowledge. Is lt not a serlous and
severe commentary on our system of
schools that a boy must bo an offend
w agalnst tho laws of the State ln
order to secure such tralnlng? A be-
ginning has been niade but thero is
jio such thing as real industrlal traln-
ing in the schools of any town in tho
State, while the chlldren who coine
under the censure of the laws havc an
advantage over those who remaln n
the paths o rectitude. Aro our edu
catlonal laws intenaca 10 niaKe it
lirofitable for boys and glrls to be
vicious?
"Those damned Hubbards get mad
and jaw and stir up a fuss," sald Or
ange Fifield. "Now tho FMolds get
-the famlly togother and talk it over
good and klnd." The Fiileld way is tho
way to get at the schoolhouse prop
osition. There may havo been mls
takes. Mistakes are very llkely to bo
made ln the conduct of public busi

llles. No man has yot dared to ralso
hls head and say "graft" ln conncc
tlon wlth the High School deal. If
Montpelier ls to bulld a High School
bulldlng it ls to bulld for half a ccn
tury at lcast, pcrhaps longor. It
would bo a scrlous mlstako then to
pcrmit projudlco or temporary dls
satlsfaction to stnnd in tho way. of
puttlng up such a bulldlng as tho clty
nccds on such a locatlon as secins
most dcslrablc.
Tho Clty Councll has borgained for,
lf ln fact it has not bought, a plot of
land for a High School bulldlng, on
the exact spot where lt was instructcd
to purchasc by a speclal clty meetlng
called to dccldo that very mattcr. It
has actcd as the agcnt and carrlcd out
tho Instructlons of Its prlnclpal. It
would be a pecullar and plcayuno pro
ceedlng for the prlnclpal now to dls
avow tho act of lts agent and refuso
to confirm tho bargaln.
There ls not a Illgh School ln
New England so widely known as tho
Montpelier High School. I happen to
know that referenco to its activitles
has reachcd as far as San Franclsco
and that ln Hong Kong, Honolulu and
Johanncsburg Its progressive metlv
ods and unusual activitles havo been
subjects of favorable coninicnt. Every
taxpaycr knows that on tho vote of
Tuesday ln rolatlon to the school
houso depends the cducatlonal pro-
gress of the clty for tnc next twenty'
flve years. Does any taxpayer belleve
that ho can afford to out off his nose
and the noses of hls chlldren and
grandchlldren, to splte hls own faco?
Montpelier ls the capltal of tho
State and it ls due to itself that it
hold a high positlon in cducatlonal
matters as It does ln other affalrs of
popular concern. Thls is the best,
most effjciently and most economl
cally governed clty In the State. It
ought to be the leatling clty ln all
other respects.
Montpelier spent more than thrce
quarters of a mllllon ln ald of the
bulldlng of a rallroad that has been
of no speclal benelit to the town. lt
can easily, for a sinall fraction of
that cost, erect such a school building
as lt needs.
"I haven't got a chlld ln school,"
sald a man well past slxty to me, "but
I want every chlld to have a good
chanco in tho schools. I know that
when I was gettlng what cducation
I havo that the Montpelier schools
wero the best about here and I know
that a dozen years ago or so they had
fallen far ln the background. I can
see from tho reports and my own ob
servatlon, that they are golng ahead
agaln, and I'll be wllllng to pay an
extra ten cents on the dollar to hold
up the reputatlon of Montpelier."
Now I wonder whether tho majority
will havo that much clvic pride or
will regard more thelr own pocket
books and thelr own prejudlces.
The St. Albans Messenger, looklng
at the formatlon of a Woman's Club
in Montpelier wlth a dopartment of
doinestlc sclonce, remarks that the
men of St. Albans mlght have a do
partment of that sort installed ln
thelr schools lf they deslred lt. I note
thatata moeting of the doinestlc sci-
ence department of the club last week
two of the best cooks in Montpelier
demonstrated the manufacture of di-
vinity fudge and tomato rarebit.
Good things, both of them. I know
they wero good, for Mrs. Puffer and
Mrs. Ilerry niade them. But such
thlugs have nothing to do with donie!--tic
sclence. They are the belles lettres
of tho kitchen. Far bo It from me to
critlcise the doings of such an aggre
gatlcn as a Woman's Club, but a merc
male may be pormltted to but In witU
the suggestlon that they bcgln wlth
the prluiary closses.
I an not talklng about tho schools
now. I know half a dozo.ii at least of
good womeu in Montpelier, good
housekcopers too, who can't niako
good bread, and not only that, but
know ind adm'.t that they can't makc
it.
Thoro Is plenty of opportunlty for
:i AVonian's Club in town, and it is not
for nie to polnt out lts activitles, but I
feol certaln that lts best efforts can
not bo cxpended In tho way of dhin
ity fudgo and tomato rarebit.
Plalnly speaklng, I want to warn
tho woiiien lnterested ln such things
that they should lct such things as
rarebits alone. There are more good
rarebit niakors among the men than
among the women. I would bo wlll
lng to wager soniethlng on tho prop
osltlnn, but I would not be wllllng to
bo tho judge. i ani gettlng old enough
to havo sonie regard for my stouiach.
Immcdlatcly followlng niy sugges
tlon last week that tho Stato mlght
well afford to hiro a houso for tho
uso of I-egislatlvo comnilttces appear
od a report of tho uso by tho Legts
lature of Malne of tho old Dlalno
nianslon In Augusta for offlclal pur
poses. The Malno Leglslatura uses
tho Dlalno manslon closo by tho Cap
Itol, and makes good uso of lt. In fact
lt is dlfflcult to sco how the Malno
Loglslaturo could go on wlth its work

man famlllar wlth conditlons at tho
Stato Houso for tho last dozen years
knows, that tho Stato mlght savo

Wasn't tho clty caucus last week an
oxccllent lllustratlon of tho Montpelier
splrlt? Dallot aftcr ballot for Mayor
and other offlccrs nud not tho sllght
est bad feellng nt tho closo. Every
ono fclt satlsdcd. Tho candidatcs
fraternizcd and thelr supporters dld
tho same. So long as that splrlt pre
valls tho public affalrs of Montpelier
will be propcrly cared for. There
was somo little troublo to get the
prescnt non-partlsan system under
way but it ls under way and control
llng way now. It ls so seldom that a
break away from the dlcls
lon of tho caucus, and so
much more soldoin that such a break
succeeds, that lt may be sald that the
cltlzens' caucus ls supromc. Thoro
may be occaslons when a bolt Is Jus
tlflable, from a cltlzens' caucus as
from all other noinlnatlng bodlcs, and
Mr. Doucette may succecd in ward
slx. I hold no bcllcf, for or agalnst
hlin. He has a certaln advantage ln
that Mr, Deady secured the offlcc two
years ago by boltlng the caucus, but
Mr. Deady ls a very resourceful man.
The Board of Alderman of Itutland
last week proposed to niake tho sal
ary of the mayor ?800 a year. It Is
worth more than that to preslde of tho
niunlclpal affalrs of that communlty,
but that ls too much of a salary to
pay in a Vermont .town. Tho salary
was aftorward cut to $200. ln the be
glnnlng the Mayor and Aldermen of
Montpelier servcd without conipcnsa
tlon and we had just as good officlals
as we have now. lt is altogether
wrong that tho salary of a niunlclpal
offlce should be so large as to Inspire
nien to seek tho place for the sakc
of tho salary, and on the other hand,
it should not be niade so sniall that a
poor man cannot afford to take tho
place.
The warning for the March meetlns
of tho town of Berlin contaius a sug
gestlon that the town take some ac
tlon In regard to the acqulsitlon by
Montpelier of land about Berlin
Pond and for the protectiou of Its
grand llst. lt may be well for Berln
to remember that Montpelier has al
ways dealt falrly with tho town, that
it has pald for cverythlng it has
bought thero and has never resorted
to condemnation proceedlngs. Berlin
has always been treated as a friendly
nelghbor, whlle somo of its people
havo always snarled nt Montpelier.
Tho town in whlch our water supply
Is situated has been allowed more
than its legal rights and i ought to
have sonie sense of appreciation. It
is probable that tho town ha3 such
appreciation and that the dlstUrbance
about the taking of land about Ber
lin Pond is the work o a fcw indlv
iduals rather than of a majority of
tho town. It ls a good thing for
neighbors to dwell together in peaco.

Wlth a crash that sounded somthlng
akln to the rumbltng roar of dlstant
thunder the granlto shed of John II.
Burns of Northfield, locatcd on tho
west slde of tho Contral Vermont rall
road tracks conipletely collnpscd on
Saturday mornlnf? about 7:30 o'clock,
several belng sorlously jnjured, whllo
othcrs barcly escaped wlth thelr llves,
tho catastropho comlng wlth such
suddenness and with practlcally no
warning that the wonder ls that somo
body dld not pcrlsh. Tho flnanclal
loss to Mr. Burns ls cstlmatcd at
about $24,000. He expects to put hls
men to work Wednesday mornlng ln
shed No. 3 of tho Ellls Company and
will start rlght away to rebulld hls
demollshcd plant.
The nccldent occurred just as tho
men were preparing for work. Bcn-
Jamln Davls, operator of the travcl
lng derrlck, had just cllmbed Into hls
place and got tho niachinery in oper
atlon when tho whole bulldlng bcgan
to squeak, grato and grind, and in
less than ten scconds had tumbled to
the ground, a huge mass of dcbrls,
Davls had absoluteiy no chance of
escaplng and fell with iiis lnachlne,
part of his body landlng on a stonc
whero he lay, a cruinpled, lnanlniato
flgure, untll rescued by hls fellow
worknien. When examlned by physl-
clans, who wero hastlly summoned,
lt was found that ho had sustalned
lnternal lnjurles, ln addltlon to paliv
ful abraslons and one or two frac
tures, a couplo of flngers havingbeon
brokon, and whllo lt was at flrst
thought that he was fatally Injured,
lt was sald last nlgnt that hls condl
tlon was so much iniproved that he
is in a fair way to recover. Willlam
Hauver of Northlleld Falls was qutte
badly Injured about the back and face.
Louls Gaspcr escaped with injuries
to the head and face. Edward Danal-
uzzl sitffered sovero cuts on the head
Mlchael Cashcn had hls hand lacer
ated and his leg sllghtly Injured,
while Kltt Mathleson, Fred Thomas
and Louls Swan had thelr legs liurt.
John Fontana sustalned a serlous
scalp wound.
Tho only man on the job who
clulms to havo see; tno thing coniiug
Is Antolne Miller, who says that ho
had just barely tinie to bring the ln.
stlnct of sclf-preservatlon into play
and run for a place of securlty. He
accomplfshed thls by golng undor a
projectlng stone. A remarkable in
cldont in connectlon wlth the collapse
of the building, Is tho story of one
man, who says he was standing in
the center of the shop when the bull
dlng fell. The sldes of the bulldlng
fell out, not In, as proviously report
ed, and the roof ln falllng became dl
vlded separated so that the man ln
(lRestlon was not touehed, tho rulns
falllng on either slde of hini and
leaving hini absolutely unlnjured, but
so bowildered that ho had to be toueh
ed on the shoulder hefore he came to.
ln speaklng of tho matter last
night Mr Burns sald:
"There is absolutely no truth in
the rumpr that went the rounds yes
torday to the cffect that the wrecklng
of the building was the work of somo
malicious persons The building has
been Jdle for such a long tlme on ac
count of the labor troubles that the
sudden heatlng of it and the startlng
of the niachinery undoubtedly con
tributed to the loss, but my oplnion
Is thut there was some flaw or dofect
in tho Iron cross rods, upon whlch
there Is a great strain The boys In
Northfield are among the best in the
buslness and I wlsh to take thls oc-
caslon to publlcly thank them for
thelr generotis actlon yesterday ln
votlng me the asslstanco that, they
dld. lt was certainly a magnaninious
niove to vote a day's work to helplng
me ln my dlfficulty when one stops to
thlnk that they have been out of work
so long, and my appreciation of thelr
actlon cannot bo expressea ln words."
Mr. Burns oxpects to have hls plant
rebullt and ln worklng order ln about
threo months. Tho plant that was
wrecked last Saturday we built last
sunimer and was supciintended In
tho constructlon of It by Mr. Burns
hlmsolf. It was two hundred and
Ilfty feet ln length and considered
one of tho best ln thls viclnlty. It was
equlpped with all tlio latest and most
modern convenlences and wlth tho
best niachinery obtalnable.
As soon as the bulldlng collapscd,
the firo nlarm was rung ln and when
tho townspeoplo hoard of what the
troublo was all hands turned out and
rendered all tho asslstanco posslblo.
Aftorwards, tho cuttors' unlon beld a
meetlng and enthuslastlcally and un
anlmously voted to give Mr. Burns a
day's work.
Whon conditlons are normal, Mr.
Burns employs ovor 50 men. Tho
calamlty has by no means daunted
tho splrlt of Mr. Burns, whoso plant
will bo rebullt wlth tho utmost accel

Itccollectlons of lion. II. V. Flftcld,
IVho Wns Unllcd Stutes Dlstrkt At
tomey nt the Tlmc.
Publlcatlon ln the Mornlng Joumal
a short tlmo ago of tho story of tho
St. Albans rald, as recallcd by formcr
Governor Joslah Grout, brlngs up tho
fact that the lion. B. F. Fiileld of
thls clty was United Statcs Dlatrld.
Attorney nt tho tlmo of a rald In nn
other dlrectlon, when tiio Fcnlans un
dertook an attack on Cannda ln Juno
1SGG and lt was through hls actlvlty
that the rald was so qulckly sup
presscd. Whon Mr. Fldcld learned that a
body of Irishnicn had gathcred ln
Franklin county and wero lntcndmg
to march into Canada, he telegraphed
Rocltwood Koarof Ia?l3'.ic!i'a6fi;ts who
was then Attorney General of the
United Statcs. He was lnformed ln
reply that a company of regular
trcops was on the way to St. Albans.
Bofore the troops arrlvcd Mr. Fi
ileld gavo a warrant for the arrest
of Col. O'Nelll, tho leader, to United
States Marshal Fostcr, who had cotn
manded a brlgade at Gettysburg and
who welghed somcthlng llkc 300
pounds. The marshal went to the
place wherc the men were encamped,
lf thelr irregular gathering can he
called a camp, apprehcndcd Col. O'
Nelll and took hlm nway without any
resistancc on the part of his follow
ca. "It mado a deep impression on
my mlnd," says Mr. Fifield, "tho re
spect for law and order shown' by
these men who wero plannlng n law
less rald."
In about thrce hours after tho ar
rest of Col. O'Nelll tho troops aniv
ed. They dlsmounted from tho cars
ln silence, formed In llne and marc'aed
to the park without a word belng
spoken excciit the necessary orders.
In the park they pltched thelr tents,
built flrcs, made coffee and cooked
supper llke old campaigners as they
were.
Warrants of tho John Doe order
were then Issucd for the other lead'
ers and they wero gathered in with'
out resistancc and without any oo
caslon for omploying the milltary.
Thls broke up the rald, as the nien
were dlsheartened at the loss of thelr
leaders. Mr. Fiileld then went to Gov
ernor Smlth, who askea "What ani I
golng to do? I don't want these men
left here hanglng around St. Albans
wlth no money."
"Put them on the cars, shlp them
to White Rlver Junctlon and dump
them there." sald Mr. Fifield.
Thls was done, and on thelr anival
there the New Hampshlro authorltles
took charge of them and shlpped them
on to Massachusetts.
There was little need of Fedcral ln
tnrference, as the men were unorgan
lzed, practlcally unarmed, poorly
clothed, and possessed of nothing
dangerous except a strong hatred for
England. In reportlng the matter to
the Attorney General Mr. Fifield com-
pared them to Artemas Ward's troops,
But this prompt interference to pre-
vent a breach of tho noutrality laws
was ln such contrast to the actlons
of England ln several cases that lt
lvaJe a strong Impression and placed
t' e United States in a fine positlon
bofore the world.
Tht leaders were Indlcted and thelr
trial took placo in the United States
courl at Windsor before .Tudge Wood-n-.ff
of New York, A verdict of guilty
was soon secured and Col. O'Nelll was
asked the usual questlon, if he had
anything to say why sentenco should
not be pioriounced. In responst- he
sald:
"I fiefi from Ireland to escapo the
cruelty and brutality of England. I
havo made my home here and have
becomo aeltlzen of thls country. I en
usteu in ner service as a privato m
the war and worked my way along
untll I was promoted to colonel. I
