FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1905.
The average daily circuulaUuu of the
Barre Daily Times for the week ending
Saturday was
3,308
copies, the largest paid circulation of
any daily paper in this section.
The harbors of Burlington certainly
are shavers. They are now paring down,
the price of a hair-cut to fifteen cents.
(Jov. Vardaman i mentioned a
candidate for senator from the state of
MipsisHippi. ' That state seem to have
been miHivprcsented enough already,
without thi.
The name of the late J. (). Sun ford
of Stamford was almost synonymous
with the highways movement in Ver
mont, ko long was he connected with
the. ntat highway ponitniition.
A White River Junction man who has
juht died ia spoken of as a man who
once rau for governor on the Democratic
ticket. There are lots of men in Ver
mont who can claim the same distinc
tion. It is an encouraging sign when in one
Vermont town prosecution i brought
for breaking of quarantine regulations
and in another a physician is haled into
court on the charge of failing to comply
with a state law demanding that a
communicable disease nhall be reported.
And the sign is chiefly important as
showing the backbone of the state board
of health when it is pre-eminently right.
The lesson of yesterday's fire, in Mont
pclier seems to have impressed itself
on one newspaper man, who reports:
"Had the city been the owner of a
chemical engine, every particle of tho
loss by water could have been prevented,
and the loss by water was the heaviest.'
When first discovered, the fire was in
an incipient stage and could easily have
lieen extinguished by the aid of a client
Seal, while at the same time the large
loss sustained by the pouring on of
two streams of water would have lH.en
prevented as the reporter says. Cities
of the size of llarre and Montpclicr,
in which there are a great many small
fires, largely from chimneys burning out,
really require chemical engine apparatus.
Barre has already had one in use for
nearly a year and the fire department
would not part with it now.
THE N KW FIRE DEPARTMENT.
STATION.
The Times prints in another column
today a brief description of the new
fire department station on South Main
street, which has just now been com
pleted, so that the people of the city
may know what they have. To be ap
preciated fully the building must be
personally inspected, for it is difficult
to convey a concise idea of tho perfec
tion of the equipment by means of a
mere newspaper description. We feel
certain in saying that there is none
other in the state that equals this
building for its purpose, and as one man
declared, n man whoso business gives
him opportunity to know, no city in
New England, of the size of Barre, has
a better arranged station. We do not
say this in a spirit of boasting, but
simply to emphasize the completeness
of the arrangements. Someone may say
that a building costing $20,000 should
be a lino one, and we agree with that
person. Hut Barre has long needed a
new (ire department station, and the
rapidly increasing needs would have de
manded the outlay sooner or later. As
now completed the structure will do
for many years to come.

WISHES TO CORRECT.
Attorney M. M. Gordon Says He Was
Not Referred To.
Editor Barre Dailv Times Dear Sir:
Will von allow me space in your paper
for the purpose of correcting a statement
made therein in connection Willi airs.
Mitchell's alfairs. The particular part
1 refer to reads as follows:
"Then thc.v began to say bad things
about her to her face and otherwise, say-
inn that if she didn't sign over the proper
ty it would be foreclosed in 21 hours. Mrs.
Mitchell consulted a lawyer, M. M. Gor
don, who, she declared last evening,
nluvcd her into the nanus ot cumin
and Scott." Now then, I am today in
receipt of a letter from Mrs. Mitchell,
winch is subject to your inspection,
asking me to have this statement cor
rected and to have inserted m your
paper the name of S. llollister Jackson
instead of mine. It also states that she
made no such claim against me and
that you published this article without
her authority. It cannot, le claimed
by anyone that I played into Smith
and Scott's hands because I have not
been consulted by her until within a
few days and long after her property
had been wrested f com hor.
Mr. Editor, I am willing to answer
and account for rny own mistakes, but
I am not willing to answer for those of
others, nor do 1 care to have you cast
upon tho minds of the public that 1
am doing business in the manner stated
in Mrs. Mitchell's article published yes
terday. .
Respectfully yours,
M. M. GORDON.
Probably every person in the room
during the hearing understood .Mrs.
Mitchell to state that M. M. Gordon
was her attorney at the time, but if
she did not, or was confused in her
statement, The Times is pleased
to make the correction. As for pub
lishing Mrs. Mitchell's testimony "with
out iier authority," we dismiss that
entirely, for tho hearing was a public
one, held for the purpose ot investigat
ing the poor department and as such
was ojien to the press to report as it
occurred. The testimony of any other
witness would have been published, had
there been any. Editor.j
COURTS INVESTIGATION.
E. B. Haskell Says He Would Like a
Fair and Unprejudiced Consideration.
To the Editor of Barre Times: In
view of the fact that the First Fruit
Harvesters have printed a misleading
statement conveying the idea thut i
have been expelled from their concern
on account of trouble over a deed, I
wish to say;
1st. That I have never belonged to
the First Fruit Harvesters Association.
I never intended to belong to it. This
was understood by Mr. Joel A. Wright,
when 1 went to llumney. My name
was printed in their official organ called
the "Sheaf," as one of their workers.
This was done without my permission.
I requested that it be removed, which
was done.
2nd. 1 was always ready to accept
a deed subject to proper and reasonable
considerations, and if the deed I finally
received after much trouble had leen
offered to me before 1 would have ac
cepted it gladly at any time.
.".id. I court investigation from fair
and unprejudiced minds upon my life
either in Kumncy or elsewhere.
I make this statement not in the
spirit of retaliation, but that the pub
lic who have been mislead may know the
truth.

FULL PAY FOR GENERAL MILES.
Conferees Have Reached an Agreement
on the Matter.
Washington, Feb. 24. The most im
portant amendment to the army appro
priation bill, on which the conferees
yesterday reached an agreement, atlects
the pay of retired officers, including that
of Lientenant-Ueneral Miles. Its ef
fect will be to give him the full retired
pay, without reference to other compen
sation he may receive. The provision
reads:
"That retired otlicers of the army
alxive the grade of major heretofore or
hereafter assigned to active duty shall
hereafter receive their full retired pay
or allowances from the United States;
provided, further, that a colonel or lieutenant-colonel
so assigned shall receive
the full pay and allowances of a major
on the active list.
SWAYNE CASE DONE.
Testimony in His Impeachment Trial Is
All In.
Washington, Feb. 24. The last of the
testimony in the interest of Judge
Swayne in the impeachment proceed
ings against him yesterday was pre
sented to the Senate. The case occupied
seven hours, beginning at one o'clock
and closing at ten with an intermission
of two hours from six to eight. Much
of the time was spent in argument
regarding the admissibility of testi
mony. The Senate also adopted an order
granting east side five hours in the
closing arguments. The bill providing
a form of government for the Panama
canal zone was passed early in the day,
without material amendment.

authorities.
Those -who have advised peace aud

ordinary character shake the Russian
Emperor's resolution.

before the public, but the Candv has continued a success in spite of the sour
grapes. It is in a class by itself and no other candy at anywheres near the
price approaches it in quality. It is not sold at 40c and 50c per pound during
the week and on that day knocked down to 29c fur advertising purposes. We
have never misrepresented anything to you yet and we do not intend to now,
Our Saturday Candy is not a bargain counter candv; it is a high-grade candy
that is worth 40c for every pound, but WE SELL IT IN FULL POUND
