The Sewer Question.

AS the needs of Montpelier are being dis
cussed and plans for Improvement are being
proposed, the WATCHMAN has a suggestion
which is worth serious consideration. 1t is
not to be understood that we advocate its
adoption, unless, after ample investigation,
it proves entirely feasible. The suggestion
is that the town introduce what is known
as the sewage farm system as the best
means of keeping the village in pure and
healthful condition. This system is com
paratively new in the United States. The
cities of Pullman and Atlantic City have
tried it, and we have been told that Wor-
cester, Mass, has adopted a similar system.
So far as we know, these are the only places
in this country that have followed some of
the best governed cities of Europe in this
respect. DantZic, Prussia, was the first to
try it, and Berlin and Edinburgh are
among the other European cities that have
found it satisfactory beyond anticipation.
These larger cities, having befouled the
streams on which they are built, were forced
to sdopt some system other than river
sewerage, but the system is quite as well
adapted to smaller places. The principle
is to collect all the sewage OF a place into
a main pipe and TO run the pipe to some
convenient out-of-the-way place at which 1t
can empty into immense pits or vats In
vided with underdrainage and partially
filed with sand-admitting of the free fill
tration of the water and its drainage into
the river and absorbing all the refuse mat
ter. When the sand has taken up all
the sewage IL will carry IL is shoveled
out and sold for fertilizing, The purify
ing process Is complete. No very Of
fensive odor exists. The sewage itself
unites with the sand to form rich loan,

The Firemen's Tournament.

The annual tournament of the Vermont
State Firemen's Association was held at
Burlington on last week Tuesday and
Wednesday. At the business meeting it
was voted that the Vermont hose company
making the best time and the Vermont en-
gine company making the longest throw
shall be entitled to the championship of the
state for 1890 and that their names shall be
inscribed on the belt trophy which is to be
purchased hereafter, and that the company
winning the belt three times shall own it.
A reception was held at the rooms of the
Ethan Allen engine company in the evening.
The parade took place on Wednesday
morning, and was probably the finest of the
kind ever seen in the state. There were
nearly 800 men in line, and besides the Yer
mont companies there were companies from
Port Henry, Ticonderoga and Plattsburgh,
n. Y. The prize contests which followed
were very interesting. The first was be-
tween the hand engines of the Nickwacket
company of Rutland and the Horizon COM
pany of Plattsburgh, y. Y. The latter won,
making a record OF 22l feet against 100 by
the Nickwackets. The military drill be-
tween the Washington hose company of St,
Adams and the Relief hose company of
Plattsburg was won by the latter, which
was given an average of 75s against an aver
age Of IS by the Washington company. The
hose-truck race was won by the H. ii. BaX-
ter company of Rutland, with the g. G.
Knight company of Fair Haven second, the
Lafayette company of Winooski third, and
the w. G. Hathaway company of Port
Henry, n. Y, fourth. The ladder contest
was won by w. Leclair of the Union COM
pany of Rutland. The streets were beauti-
fully decorated during the parade. There
were about 5000 people at the park.

very valuable as a fertilizer. The city Of
Edinburgh gets a return of twelve per cent
on its plant through sales of this fertilizer.
At Worcester, we understand, the sewage
Is received into large tanks, chemicals are
mixed with it, precipitating the substantial
part and leaving the water clear as crystal.
1t is then drained off and the sediment re-
moved. OF course there are in either case
a sufficient number of watts or tanks to al
low the process to go on without Interrupt
ton. The result of this method of dispos-
ing of Montpelier's sewage would be that
the rivers would be perfectly pure, so far
as this town is concerned. 1t is true that
Barre's sewage would still float down to us,
but Barre possibly might be induced to
adopt the same system. If a real interest
in the publication OF the streams of the
state could be aroused general law for
bidding draining into them might be passed.
If that were impraCticable, a special law APP
plying to certain rivers might be put
through Not the least desirable result of
such legislation would be the restocking of
the large streams with trout. Fine fish
will not live in foul streams. But the chief
| gain, of course, would be in the better
health of the residents The impure air
| that rises from the North branch undoubt-
edly had much to do with the diphtheria of
! this spring and summer. While the sewers
empty into the rivers this will be So The
vote of recent village meeting, by which
| the sewers are TO be extended into the
middle of the river, will hardly better mat
! ters to any extent and it is doubtful if the
| pipes when thus laid will be strong enough
| to stand the force of the current and ice.
| A very desirable spot for locating farm
! pit is at the sand beds on the river bank
about two miles below the village. A bet
ter place could not be found anywhere. OF
course the system would involve an ex
pense, but the experience of this spring
makes it very evident that something must
| be done for the health of the village, and
the most expensive thing may be the cheap
est in the long run. AS a matter of fact
the chief expense of a farm sewage system
would be in laying main pipe to the pits
The sewers of the village could be con
nected without great cost.

Obituary.

BRADFoRD.-Mrs. Olive w, wife of DR.. p.
d. Bradford, died at Northtield, of pneu-
monia after brief illness, Tuesday, Au-
gust 8, 1890. Funeral services were held at
her late pleasant home Thursday afternoon,
when many of her friends and neighbors
testified to their love and respect for the de-
ceased by their presence at the house of
mourning and at the grave. Many beauti-
full floral tributes, the offerings of friends,
fitly emblemized the purity, beauty and
fragrance of the life which had departed.
The burial service of the church was read
by the rector, Rev. Homer White, the an
them being chanted by members of St.
Mary's choir, and the closing prayer was
offered by Rev. w. S. Hazen, pastor of the
Congregational church, longtime friend
of the family. AT the grave, after the COM
initial, the choir chanted, "I heard voice
from heaven" and then, after the final
prayer and benediction, the friends turned
away from the evergreen-lined resting place
of her who had exchanged the home OF
earth for home in heaven. Olive Wilson
Carpenter was born in Norwich, VT, Sep
tember 12 1920. 1t was said of her in her
youth that she was rightly named Olive, for
she always bore with hor the olive branch
of peace. At the age of sixteen she united
with the Methodist church, and ever after
wards lived a consistent Christian life, full
of good will and kind deeds. She was mar
ried to Hiram Moore, ESQ, at Sharon, VT.
March IS, 1888. Mr.. Moore died May %
1858. His widow subsequently removed tC
Newbury, VT, where she lived till May
! 1867. In that year she was married to DR.
p d. Bradford of Northfield, where she has
ever since resided, a blessing to her famil )
| and an esteemed member of society. She
was confirmed in the Protestant Episcopa
church August 16, 1868, by the Rt. Rev. w

A Mammoth Show.
FoREPAUGH's CIRCUS AGGREGATION UNITED
WITH THE GREAT 4" WILD WEST"

The Forepaugh "Wild West" combina-
ton will surely meet with an ovation at
Barre on Monday, August 20, If the interest
in the event already aroused in this locality
can be taken as an indication. Manager
Cooper certainly made a great coup detdt
when he secured the Wild West show,
for it has proven a powerful adjunct to his
purchase of the great Forepaugh establish
ment. This remarkable frontier entertain
ment is presented under canvas in the same
complete and thrilling form that character
lied its production under Mr. Forepaugh's
management in New York city, where it
was given 1853 times with unexampled sue
cess. "Custer's Last Rally" with Captain
Bogardus as the hero of the Little Big Horn,
still remains one of the big sensations of the
exhibition, as is also General Phil Sheri-
dams Famous Ride. Notwithstanding the
"Wild West " representations are given so
much prominence in the Forepaugh pro-
gramme, the circus and hippodrome retain
all their former vast proportions. 1t would
seem that Adam Forepaugh, Jr., has scored
the greatest triumph Of his life this year in
the exhibition of his flying trapeze horse,
" Eclipse" The marvellous little animal
creates turOre wherever he appears The
street parade, which brings into requisition
the combined resources of the Forepaugh and
ovid West show, is accounted a most
novel and dazzling pageant. The railroads
give excursion rates on Forepaugh day."

The Triumphant Return of the
Beautiful Pig.

Tho pig has returned to our beautiful vale,
with his snout in the air and curl In his tail
He may root, he may run, he may wallow or dig,
Montpelier delights In the beautiful pig.
Two hundred and three answered the call
ON the case Of the pig IN our Capital hal -.
one hundred said Go!'-heartless men they must
But Gomez said the noble one hundred and three
No longer the pig like an exile must roam
All honor to those who invited him home.
The law that would Danish the pig we repeal,
Montpelier delights iii his musical squeal'
There isn't a lawn or wide.spreading street
That is any too good for his beautiful feet
Delighted we welcome our friend onall-fours
And haste at his coming to open our DOORS
Despised was the pig by the short-sighted Jews;
Montpeliers refinement reverses their views
The pig is her comfort her Joy and her stay
She's as lonesome as death when the creatures
away.
You may give me, she says, muddy streets as you
You may break up my sidewalks or cut down my
You may pile up a debt, he it little or big,
But give me, give me, my beautiful pig
How we missed him no mortal in language can tell
His musical grunt and hts delicate smell
To part with that pig gave us exquisite pain,
But thanks to our Lord he is with us again.
How sweet it will he at the break of the dawn
To see him perambulate round on the lawn,
And get but one sniH of his breath, o. Oye powers,
Ascending with odorous perfume of flowers.
To sit by your window at noon, in the path
OF the wind from that sty when the pig takes his
Arranges his toilet and soaks out his feet
In the ointment of swill barrels won't it be sweet
And sweet when the day is beginning to die
To know he is wallowing there in his sty
by the richness OF atmosphere round you for rods
And faintness way down In your stomach, ye gods
We banished the pig, but of this we repent;
II spite of our sehter we send for his scent
We ride to success on the back of pig.
Now send up your rockets and let the bells ring
Montpelier has voted the pig to be kingl
Let medals of brass with pig meath a tree,
BE struck for that noble one hundred and three
| Let the village in suitable coors be drest
| To welcome the wanderer back to his nest
And bring out the band let them play this new jig,

The Sir Thomas Freake, whose adventures
in Handwriting and outwitting rival in
the affections of a fair one to whom
Freake was paying court were reported
in the special cablegrams to The DIS
PATCH yesterday, appears to be pretty
well known in this country. Several Pitts
burgers said yesterday that they remembered
Freake with his son and two companions visit
ing the city in the fall of 1885, He came over
on the steamer Servia for trip through the
United States. He is man of about so, to
judge from his looks, and rather heavy in his
bearing. not at all ostentatious. and the least
person in the world who would be looked upon to
appear in such an affair as reported. One who
was passenger on the vessel with Freake,
tells an amusing story of the subserviency of
some Eng1ishmen to titles.
1t was proposed to have as usual, an enter
tainment for the benefit of English sailors

that while Americans are the chief contrib
utors. it is always the English and not the
American sailors who are recognized in these

constitutional lawyer of Michigan was aboard.
Some of the committee getting up the concert
suggested Judge Cooley as President, but q
couple Of English commercial travellers, who
were on the committee. regarded this as some
thing altogether out of place. You know"
The reason they gave was that Sir Thomas
Freake. being member of the nobility, should
have precedence. Freake and his party had
been keeping quite vIsibly to themselves.
They had never spoken to any of the Amer
leans or even to the English plebeians on board.
SO 1t did not seem why they should have any
precedence over so amiable a man as Judge
countrymen of Sir Thomas, who were on the
committee carried their point, and invited him
to preside. That was the only time they had a
chance to speak to him. With great good
sense he declined. telling them that he could
not speak ten words and would be entirely out
of place on the occasion. The Freakes, father
and son and two companions, who we're rather
rough looking, but stalwart fellows stayed a
few days in New York, then came through
Pittsburg to the West. They looked more like
farmers going to settle on a ranch than fops or
heroes of such q melodrama as is reported
from London.

strength and influence of Its own offspring. 1t
was the oldest in the district. being founded in
1873, and had the euviable record of bringing
up the wages of its members from 81 so to SO so
without ever losing a strike. And thus the
curtain falls on the drama of the Rival
Painters"
from all accounts the curtain will rise again
on different play in which the Building
Trades Council and the Bricklayers' Inter-
national Union will undertake the leading
roles. The federated building trades have, IN
short. determined-fushed by its victory over
the knights. doubtless-that all the trades in
any way connected with the erection Of build
ings shall come within the federation. The
bricklayers are in the double position OF being
the only trade not In tine Federation, and as
well being prevented by their constitution
from doing So The bricklayers have small
matter of $50, 600 behind them, and will not
throw any difficulty in the way of the Councils
firing the first gun.
The Building Trades Council are also credited
with declaring that the salesmen in the large
stores who are now organized in the Knights,
shall pack uD and get as the DainterS did. 1t
is not claimed that statesmen have anv connec-
tion with the building trades, excepting that,
by a stretch of the Imagination, they can be
regarded as such by working inside building.
