The Montpelier Daily Journal,
that is serving it's patrons admirably,
by the way, has funny man on it's
staff who is likely to catch up with the
Free Press Kaleidoscope" if he doesn't
lose his hold. Thus far his wit has been
turned upon st. JOhnsbury with such
telling effect that nothing but our re-
gard for the present and future pros
perity of this town has prevented our
publishing every word of it. 1t is just
too utterly funny for anything. His
st. Johnsbury criticisms alone are well
worth the subscription price of the

Fire Department. improvements.

When the hose cart and No. 2 engine
were loaded on to the ear i'm anticipa-
tion of being brought into service at
the Lyndonville fire Friday afternoon,
the scribe's attention was attracted by
the improved appearance of the appar-
atus and by the ready for business air
of the firemen in charge. On inquiry
it appears that there has been a gener-
al overhauling of the local fire depart
ment by Chief Engineer A. L. Bragg.
Some $50 feet of new rubber-lined hose
has been bought, together with 40 rub
Der coats and an equal number of caps,
four dozen rubber mittens, two OIL
three new ladders and hooks, besides
lot of minor articles, spanners, etc.
To accommodate this new material the
hose wagons have been repaired and
put into the best condition for service.
Altogether between $3.50 and 800 has
been expended. 1t is we'll known that
last spring the general condition of the
apparatus and of the clothing, ETC.,
was decidedly bad. There are still
some things that are needed, but are
perhaps not positively essential, and il
is believed that the department was
never in better condition to meet any
demands that are likely to be made
upon it. There are now enrolled in
the various companies about l25 men
as good set of fremen as ever re-
sponded to an alarm. The town of st
Johnsbury heartily approves these eff
forts to add to the efficiency of its fire
department., upon which so much de,
pends in times of emergency.

AT THE SCALE WORKS.
Narrow Escape from being Buried Alive
Various improvements.


Oscar Simpson while engaged in dig
ging trench at the scale works yes
terday was buried completely ont OF
sight by the caving in of an embank
ment, and but for quick work on the
part of those who were at work near
by would have been killed. The mass
of earth that fell upon him was esti-
mated to equal two tons in weight
An iron pipe just above him served to
break the fall somewhat, but before he
knew it he was buried out of sight
save that just room enough to admit ol
his making considerable noise was left
him. After being dug out by his com
panions he was pretty well used up
but is now all right.
The Fairbanks company are putting
in three large tanks of 5000 gallons ca
pacity each for the purpose of holding
oil which will be used as substitute
| for coal as fuel at the works. Inves-
LEGATIONS have already proved the
practicability of oil as fuel and that
it will prove a great saving over coal
but this is the first time it has been
tried at these works. If present anti
cipations are realized arrangements
will be completed for Introducing the
new fuel on a much more extensive
scale.
Extensive improvements are in pro
gress on the river bank. The new
store and freight house will be quite 6
large affair, being about $50 feet in
length and so arranged as to accom-
modate railroad tracks, etc. The large
willows on the west side of Sleeper
river have been cut down and a sub
stantial stone wall will be built on tn,
west bank similar to the one put in OF
the opposite bank last year. 1t is also
proposed to continue Water street di
rectly across the river to accommodate
this new road which will be a grea
convenience to travellers in that sec
ton. A new bridge will be put acrOs
the river to complete the connections

A BOOM FOR WINSTON.
A Democrat Says He Must Go as
Delegate to ST. Louis.


a Delegate to St. Louis.
''P. B. Winston must be one of the
delegates from this city to the st. Louis
convention" said well known Demo-
crat to a GLOBE reporter yesterday,
land am surprised his name was omit
ted from your list printed this morning.
In fairness to other good and faithful
Democrats, who anticipate, at least a
chance of obtaining the honor of being
among the delegates to that convention.
it is but fair that it should be mentioned
who the prominent candidates, in fact,
are. In Hennepin county, it is safe to
say. every Democrat, not candidate
himself, is in favor of sending z. B.
Winston. no matter who else goes.
Mr.. Winston, politically, is entitled to
this honor. am in position to know
that in the last campaign he did more
than any man i'll Hennepin county to
insure the success of the party. He has
twice been nominated to fill important
places when there was only a
possible chance for an election.
Notwithstanding the hopeless chances
of success, he has buckled on the har-
ness and made exceptionable cam
paigns. He is the sort of a party man
whom no party can afford
to overlook, and when his
name is omitted from the list
of probable delegates from the Fourth
district the author of a political disser-
tation upon that subject does not under
stand the attitude in which this
man stands among the men,
bers of the Democratic party
in this county. Without under
taking to compare his party history with
that of any of the gentlemen named in
this connection, it is voicing the senti-
to saw that if but two selections are to
be made from Hennepin, P. B. Winston
would be the unanimous choice for one
of the places"

"Our wives and daughters are no
longer safe on the streets of Minneap-
oils" This old partizan political war
cry that has done service in many a
municipal campaign, can for once be
truthfully applied, for the execrable
thoroughfares have for weeks imperiled
both life and limb to pedestrians.
When the heavy SHOWS of
January, February and March
fell in high drifts the street car COM
pany with its scrapers pushed the snow
as it fell from the tracks to either side.
The sidewalks were cleared and the
snow thrown upon the street, adding to
the heighth of the ridges already formed
Thousands of teams have trampled it
compactly, while successive thawing
and freezing have formed an icy EN-

the average, as hard as rock,

and curbstones. In the central portions
of the city teams can hardly pass each
other without danger of an upset. Foot

The engagement of Louis James and

Grand opera with Saturday matinee.
This is done in order to enable the conf
pany to make long jump.
Easter week at the Grand will be one
of the events of the year. "Ihis time''

company of comedians, who will pre-
sent two of the latest and most beauti-
full comedies that have lately been pre-
scented, Nancy & Co." and Glove in
Harness." Both these comedies are
from Days pen, and Mr.. Rehan has the
sole right to produce Mr.. Days plays
on the road. To all lovers of light COM

superb, and the comedies will be played
in the most handsome manner.
Marie Wainwright is considered the

A BEAUTIFUL WINDOW
Hand-Painted by a Local Artistic.
Attracts Great Attention,

Attracts Great Attention.
In the handsome residence lately
erected by George E. Shenchon, which
is numbered ITO Third avenue south,
there has been placed very beautiful
ornament which is deserving of particu-
lar mention on account of the novelty
and artistic excellence Of the work,
and also for the reason that it is
solely the work of a Minneapolis
artistic, lady who is we'll and favOra-
BILE known among the cultured people
of the city-Miss Robson-whose studio
is on Nicollet avenue. The work in
question is the picture known as
"Hope," done on glass. 1t is about four
feet by three feet in size. and convent
emily and prettily placed half way up
the broad stairs from the spacious hall,
and is the attracting object the moment
one enters the house. 1t is novel-in;
that it is distinctly different from a
stained glass window, being simply a
painting on ground glass, instead of
canvas or any other material. The
paints used were of the transparent
class, and Miss Robson was over a
the e', commission. sHope" is repre-
sented as beautiful comely female,
with brightness cleaning DER her
face, which is slightly thrown back
ward in an easy manner, the shadows
cast from an apple tree above her,
darkening her face somewhat. The
pose of the figure is the embodiment of
ease and grace, the whole work can only
be properly designated a grand success
in that it was, to a certain degree, ex-
perimental. 1t is the only window of
its class in the city that may be said
to be superior to stain glass work in
many particulars, especially as it obyi-
ates the necessity of piecing, the work
represented coming forth as from can
vas without any dividing lines to mar
it's beauty. 1t is ambitious work like
this that does more when done by local
artist, in the way of example and en-
ergy, to advance local art than anything
else.

THE STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS.

passengers upon crosswalks have had to
jump across gulches and ravines, and at
times wade ankle deep in slush-stone
pavements have been CLASSY with coat
ings of ice, and uneven with ridges and
corrugations with sharp edges. In a
few instances forces of men have
been put to work chopping the hard
ened snow and ice into cubes, which
made travel worse, if possible.
Plainly, this condition is disgrace to
the city, and another winter it should
and can be avoided. The snow should
be carried off, or at least leveled as it
falls when it can be handled. That
this can be done is attested by
the street cleaning service OF
almost any other city of the same size as
Minneapolis, and st. Paul has this win
ter successfully solved the problem.
Street cleaning in winteris as necessary
as street sprinkling in summer, and the
city fathers should be in some way made
aware of this fact, which seems to have
escaped their attention.

ceive its first introduction at this house
and will continue the bill throughout
the week. The play is not dependent
upon the scenic effects or it's surround
ings for success, as it is both spirited
and lively and furnishes abundance of
pathos, sentiment and humor. The new
scenic artist has prepared several new
scenes for the play, which will be
