There is one terrible circumstance
in connection with the Venetian glass
industry, and that is that after many
years Of work. when these good
people ere between 40 and 50 years OF
age, they begin to lose their sight, and
after short while are wholly blind.
There seems to be no remedy for this
unfortunate state OF things, for many
protective devices have been tried
without success. The blindness is
caused by the excessive heat and also
by the glare of the never celsing
flames from the glass furnaces. 1t Is
some comfort to know that these poor
victims to art are content to live very
simply, and as their wages are high
thew are able to save large sums. Thus
their declining years, although passed
under such sad conditions, have not

the adjacent forest, and no human be

At night the dogs and goats lie
about the cabin-the goats without

Your editorial remarks in issue of last

Mr.. j. w. Aydon, made statements that
were much exaggerated, having little
foundation Ia fact. Mr.. Aydon Is special
complaint was that about III brnary ii to
10 there WIS serious Interference, and vet
he did not report the same to me until
April 9th, when he asked me for letter
vindleating him from the charge OF
bribery. ut once made Investigation,
and found the only Interference about
that time with the wires wss Of ruy
wire that supports u city light nj n u Ii
and Market had sag !ed 50 rs to touch the
fire alarm wires, aud Immediately It was
reported 10 Mr., Quinby, who had charge
oil the men, and h had 1t corrected. Mr.
Quinby kf ew of no other Interference of
any moment, aud assured INC tina. be had
obeyed Implicitly our instructions to use
the utmost care in working with our
wires not to interfe @ In the slightest VIE
other wires, snd that he hos always been
present with the men and no wire has
been touched without his knowlc ige. Mr..
Quiuby is one OF the most careful and
pains-taking men We know Of, aud there
is no question OF his trutbiulness and
conscieLt'ous discharge Of duty.
The truth is that the Electric Co. is
beiug made the scHpegoat for all troubles
on the fire alarm - stem, and ugei to
cover somebody else's short com mrs and
incOmpetency. In more than one instance
has the Electric Co. helped 10 find and
correct troubles OF the fire alarm sys ten
that wsB no fault of theirs. Moreover
the Electric Co. has renewed much of the
fire alarm line, and paid bonus for the
privilege, and can say that that part OF
the fire alarm line on some poles with
electric wires is in as good II not better
condition Tor work to-day than some other
paris of the system.
Most of MIR. Aydon's charges are not
founded upon tact, and to say the least is
unjust and unkind. The trihipg troubles
that have occurred are but slight and
poor pretext for his sssifuous exertions
in favor OF the Conduit & Underground
