District School of so Years Ago.

A model school, modelled after the
plan of so years ago, was that held in
the South church vestries last Thurs
day evening. Miss Edna Stewart was
the teacher and this particular occa-
sion was the closing of the school.
Though somewhat disguised by their
ancient costumes tho parson and his
wife looked marvellously like Prof. S.
H. Brackett and Mrs. Abbie Burke,
and the school committee man, with a
dickey that came within dangerous
proximity to his nose, bore a striking
resemblance to Judge Ross. There
were a dozen pupils of various sizes
and ages and their recitations, singing
and compositions kept the audience i'll
a roar. 1t was one of the jolliest en-
tertainments of the season.

The Car Stove Must Go.

1n0 OdT SUOSe huSJ OOs
The cold reliable" Lake road is the
first to put in operation steam heating
apparatus in the railway cars of this
state, thus 1oeg away with the deadly
car stove. The locomotive Mansfield, =,
formerly the "Govcrnor Fairbanks" :"
has been fitted up with the necessary
appliances for heating cars with steam
and took its trial trip Thursday, the
experiment proving everyway success
ful, the cars on the train being well
and uniformly warmed. There has
been good deal of apathy shown by
the railroads of the state relative to
the adoption of some system of heat
ing passenger cars, SO much so that a
meeting of the railroad managers, rail
road commissioners and representa-
tives of different steam heating sys-
TENS has been called at White River
Junction next Wednesday, with view
of thoroughly investigating matters
pertaining thereto. After the Lake
road solves the problem the best that
the other roads of the state eau do is to
fall in to line as promptly as may be.

Is st. Johnsbury Prepared for Fire?

A detailed account of the terrible
disaster at Springfield, Mass, briefly
noted in the last issue of the CaledO-
nian, will be found on the second page.
The death roll already includes the
names of eight persons. The fire
though occurring in midday found the
building poorly equipped with fire es
capes. The fire department were with
out the most approved life-saving ap-
pliances and did not know how to
properly handle the ladders, etc, that
were ready for use. Springfield is
waking up now to the necessity of be-
ing prepared for such emergencies, too
late to save the eight lives that have
been sacrificed, but anxious To avert a
repetition of similar disaster.
Are the public buildings of ST.
JOhnsbury furnished with a sufficient
number of exits to admit of being
cleared promptly and easily9 Some
time ago we called attention to the
fact that the doors of at least one of
the halls in town opened inward and
not outward us is made compulsory by
law in Massachusetts. Music hall,
where our larger audiences gather, is
SO near the ground that it is thought
in case of disaster the windows would
furnish Il place of exit for those who
couldn't get out through the doors, but
at the same time ought not other
means of exit to be provided in addi-
ton to those that already exist, espe-
cially from the galleries
Is the St. Johnsbury fire department
properly equipped with ladders, ETC.,
and, of more Importance even than
this, are the firemen drilled in the use
of the appliances at hand with sufli
cient frequency to make it a sure thing
| that when the emergency comes the
aerial ladder will not be put up wron {
end first as was the case at Springfield
and precious lives lost while men are
learning how to handle what they
have. Here comes in the value o
the competitive tests of life and prop
erty saving appliances, speed, etc, il
which the st. Johnsbury department
used to excel. All these questions ar,
of importance and deserve and demant
attention.

Special Village Meeting.

A special village meeting is to be
held next week, called for Saturday
evening, to consider the water supply
question. 1t is too well known to
need repeating that the village water
supply is running dangerously low. A.
H. Mcleod and others own all but
5 4Oths of the privilege at the village
works and some steps must be taken
to increase the village supply or the
railroad locomotives, etc, will have to
be shut off altogether.

A Dividend Circular.

"A D1V10enu circular.
Messrs. E. 81 Il. Fairbanks 81 Co.,
issued the following circular to stock
holders under date of March ID. The
circular explains itself. The dividend
is payable today:
1t is with much pleasure that we en-
close to you herewith check for divi
dend No. 30 on the stock in E. and T..
Fairbanks and Company, standing in
your name, being Sl5 per share. The
earnings of the corporation for the last
year, as you were encouraged to ex-
pect by the directors report of Sep
tember I3, 1887, have been very salts
factory-indeed the year has been one
of the best in the history of the busi-
ness. A large surplus remains after
payment of this dividend. Although
we are met by very sharp competition,
resulting in diminished profits, yet
with the promising outlook for large
business, the coming year bids fair to
be very prosperous, provided the gen
eral business of the country continues
good.

Incipient Fires.

lnc1p1ent Fires.
NJ j. Caldbeck's shop at Paddock
Village caught fire again this morning,
but the fire was soon extinguished
with appliance at hand and no alarm
was rung.
There was slight fire in Randall's
block on Railroad street, Monday, that
was extinguished before a general
alarm was sounded. One of the ten
ants on the second floor built a roaring @
fire and left it for awhile, returning
later to find that fire was creeping up
through the partitions to the roof. On
every floor of the Randall block is a
5O-foot hose ready attached for use.
It's prompt use prevented disastrous
fire.
