Tho Weather for October.

The following is the summary of the
local weather record for last month, rs
furnished by w. b. Gates, observer for
the United States signal service: Mean

Mayor Woodbury. Corrects Some Miscun-
ccptions Regarding the AFFAIR.
TO the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
So much has been said and insinuatcd
relative to my connection with the erection
of telephone poles in Church street that |
make the following statement of facts !
did not request any alderman to favor or
oppose placing the poles in the street or
crticise them for what they did do. did
not request or advise any person in the
city to allow the poles to be placed in
the st rect or procure any one to DO 1T Tor
me, directly or indirectly. The telephone
company did not ask my permission to
place the poles in Church street, nor did
grant it, and had no power to do 50.
| After the injunction was served, | adj
vsed Mr.. Hunt to call together the citi-
zens interested and try and effect com
promise, as | did not deem it policy for the
company to place the poles in the street
against the wishes of majority of the
residents of it, even if they had the legal
right to do so. There happened to be Il
meeting of the lumbermen the morning
that the foolish notice was issued, tGat
the exchange was to be closed, and with
out discussing, or even thinking wheth-
er the poles would ultimately be
placed in Church street, but only look
ing to our need of the telephone for our
business, we wired the company as fol
| lows: I'VE should much regret the dlS
continuance of telephone service here
We trust you will postpone action and see
if Il compromise cannot be effected" The
exchange was closed at noon, but ut my
request it was opened. Mr.. Hunt subse
quently told me that it should not have
been closed. | believe have not express
ed any opinion relative to the case except
to say that if owned property upon
Church street | should rather have poles
than to have the wires upon my building
Telephone poles and horse-railway track:
: are not desirable things to have III oul
streets, but are tolerated because OF the
benefit our community, as whole, de
rives from their use.
Very truly yours,
L. A WOODBURY..

They Tried the street Railroad.

\ lively runaway occurred on Church
street last Thursday about noon. n double
team belonging on DR.. Carpenters farm,
which had been left standing near b, w.
Carpenter * Co.'s drug store, started up

struck carriers wagon opposite Roberts

but did not lnjure it, About the same
time one of the opposite wheels caught in
the carriage of A. w. Peet of Shelburn
and overturned 1t, bending the axle and
breaking the dashboard and one thlIl, Mr.,
Poets horse was hitched, 50 no further
damage resulted. The team continued on

GLADSTONE FOR IRELAND.
The British Statesman Talks at Edinburgh
Sensibly About Ireland.

LONDON, Nov. .. - Gladstone, in his
speech ut Edinburgh, said: The Irish
question is about TO assume new posi-
ton, because it is not now question Of
cruel grievances But | know very well
that my fellow countrymen in Ireland
still feel and believe one grievance re
mains, that is in the management of
their own county. Formerly the elector-
ate of Ireland was 50 limited that it was
almost impossible to recognize its utter
auccS as the voice of Il nation Members
were split into the three parties Parnell-
ties Tories and Liberals. Now Ireland's
electorate is broad and extended, and us
qualified to speak of its wants and wishes
aS are tn" celebrates OF Scotland and
England. Iam confident England will
Ireland. We must look Il step further
and expect the party which is probably III
vast majority in Ireland, TO demand large
powers of self-gOveTmeut. Such will he
a grave contingency. But let it not I'LL
us with alarm, because as long as we give
literally and prudently it will be needless
to fear assuming always that nothing
will be demanded that would jeopardiZe
or compromise the unity of the empire.
1t is unjust for the people of Ireland to
suppose any other basis is contemplated,
whatever demand Ireland may deliberate
ly and constitutionally make unless ii in
fringes on principles connected with the
honorable maintenance of unity of en-
pire. We are bound, at any rate to treat
her with careful attention, Loud
Cheers. To stint Ireland III powers nee
essary or desirable for the management of
purely Irish nature Is great error.

Friday Nights Polo Game.

The rink was filled Friday night to over
flowing by the crowd who turned out to
witness the much talked of game of polo
between the Association team of this city
and the Golden Fleece club of Montpelier
The game was called promptly at O'Clock
and the work of the evening began in
earnest. The Montpelier boys showed
themselves to be in excellent trim and it
was evident from the outset that the game
would be the closest ever played between
the two teams. The first goal was won
however by the boys with the golden
handle to their name in 10 - minutes.
This seemed to put new life into
the Burlington boys and from that
time they fairly outdid themselves.
They won the next three goals in short
order, the time being 1 -, 2 and min
utes respectively. The utmost good feel
ing seemed to prevail throughout the
game, which was played in a most admira-
BILE manner. The referee was ID. w. Cas-
well of Boston, and his decisions were
given with the greatest fairness and salts

by its powerful purifying and vitalizing action
upon the blood, speedily removes the cause,
and thus effects n radical and permanent cure
of catarrh. Those who suffer from its varied
symptoms uncomfortable flow from the nose,
offensive breath, ringing and bursting noises
in the ears, swelling of the soft parts OF the
throat, nervous prostration, etc. - should take
