Kaolin, Of which we import annually 200
tons, would seem to answer as well as anything
else the fills bills definition Of raw or crude
material for manufacturing, and yet II does not

be about 80 per cent Of its value KaOlin in it,

clay. Its only value is given II by its being duG
up out OF the ground and washed. But 1t seem,
that the trainers Of the Mills bill had what wert
to them all sufficient reasons for making kaOliI
dutiable. One Of these was large and newly
discovered deposit OF kaoin in the eXtrem,
southern portion Of South Carolina, which is nov
being vigorously worked. Other reasons wer,
that within two years companies have been OF
ganized to work kaoin beds at Ssabury, Texas
and Valley Head, Alabama. The same principle
which. while making Northern wool, salt ant
| lumber free, gave Southern sugar a protection o
IS per cent and Southern rice l0Jlf per cent pre-
vailed in regard to Southern kaOlin. The fac
that kaolin was found in such good Bourbon
States as South Carolina, Texas and Alabam
was all that the trainers of the Mills bill wante
to know. And yet there are some Northern FIRE
traders who will assert and keep straight faces
too-that the Mills bill is not secliOnal.-[Bosto

State Detective Pease with Sheriff
Frink and Chief Of police Fuller of North
Adams, in connection with Sheriff Nc
Call of Bennington anG other Vermont
officers, raided resort known as the
Safe Line House, between Williams
town and POwnal last week, securing
n large quantity of liquors of all kinds,
the seizure being made by the Vermont
officers. The house has for years defird
all efforts of the local officers against a
raid, being located squarely on the line
between Mas, achusetts and Vermont.
North Adams officers went so far as tn
have a new survey of the State lines or.
dered, hoping to throw the house in one
State or the other, hut without success,
The place has been notorious for years
as a rum hotel, gambling hell, place
for cock fighting and resort for lewd
women. Officers from either State were
pOwerless, for when they visited the
place they would find all the liquor and
the people over the line in the other
State. The raid last night, the first col
centrated effort for some years, proving
very successful will go far toward break
ing up the house. T. Goodwin, the pres,
ent proprietor, was on his way to North
Adams when he met the North Adams
officers going up in hack. He took a
different road and reached the house
first and moved all the liquors to the
Vermont SIDE of the house and then
skipped. The Vermont officers then
raided the house and seized the liquor,

FIRST FRUITS OF THE MILLS BILL
II Causes tho Laying or OF Fifty Hands
In Derby-MOre to Follow.


The Mills bill has borne legitimate
fruit elsewhere. It's first fruits in Derby
have Just been made manifest. On Sat
urday evening, A. II, & G. B. AllIng
were compelled to lay off fifty hands
and Mr.. Alling said to Sentinel report
err, this morning, that more would fol
low.
The Messrs. Aling are wooden manu-.
facturers. They are probably the oldest
concern IN Naugatuck Valley-certainly
at this end. They do large business,
and within year enlarged their works
in Birmingham. Recently, orders have
fallen off and trade has grown dull
Nobody is buying. owing to the present
status of the Mills bill, which puts WOO
on the free list. The retail men are buy,
ing only "fIom hand to mouth" because
of this uncertainty, and manufacturers
cannot and will not pile up stock in theiI
mills for this reason,
We have heard of this same state oil
things elsewhere. A business man, g
stranger, who was in Ansonia, last
week, brought information of dizziness
in the mills in the wooden mill region
while in New York trade is very flat.
If simple bill produces such an effecI
as this, what may we expect when the
first firm step" is taken towards free

The town is stirred to its very depths
by the narrow escape from instant
death of one of our prominent ladies.
Miss Sarah Russell went out riding
Thursday evening with one of her young
lady friends. She drove the horse own
ed by George Roberts, the butcher, at
tached to George Bullets wagon, She
drove only short distance and made a
few calls on some friends, and was re-
turning about six O'Clock across the
railroad at the bridge. AS the horse
approached the railroad wild cat en-
CINE whistled in the cut, coming at a &c
mile rate. Miss Russell did not hear
the whistle and drove directly upon the
track in spite of the repeated calls of the
men who were at the crossing and on
the depot platform. The engineer saw
the danger and reversed his engine
which in passing just grazed the rear
wheels of the wagon. The horse then
became frightened and started on rur
through the bridge. At the south end
of the bridge he turned to the left throw
ing Miss Russell out against a tie pos
around which she spun, then became
unconscious, The horse ran agains
the steps of Browns store, then on fol

As he reached the barn with great mo
mentum he struck his head solidlN
against it and fell in a heap to thu
ground. He was secured and put in hi!

to her home, and soon found that shC
was not very much hurt, receiving a few
