TIE CosI oE SEWERS.

Since 1t became apparent to thoughtful
residents of the village that half the pos
sible benefits of the new water works
could not be realized without system of
sewers, there has been considerable spec
ulation as to what they would cost, of
what they should be made, how large the
pipes should be and so on. Now. in this
matter. as in most others, experience is
of greater value than theory. Nantucket,
Mass, is agitating the sewerage question
and its citizens are getting together in
formation. Here is the statement they
have from the Amherst (Mass.) town
clerk and seectmen:
Population of Amherst, 1900. Soil san
dy, with occasional sandy beds, so that
blasting was practically unnecessary in
laying the sewers. The sewer pipes are
of Akron tile, laid by a local plumber,
each Joint cemented. Size of tile from
houses to street almost always, inch
es; mains in streets, s inches; after some
distance. when several mains have united.
10 inches; and further down, and from
that point to the place where the sewer
empties. II inches. There are three main
branches of the sewer system, each start
ing from the center of the town-one to
the north, second to the south, and
third to the southeast Each empties up
on farm, and each of the three farms is
situated about three-quarters of mile
from the center of the town. The utiliza-
ton of the sewage upon said farms has
been perfectly successful, the northern
farm having this year raised three large
crops of hay, two already cut and one
standing, and this farm is very sandy.
and formerly produced almost no grass at
all. All sewage is taken care of by these
farms, without expense to the town. We
have had this sewage system in Am
herst for ten ClO) years. Entire cost of
laying and maintaining said system to
date is (S1,2S0.99) seven thousand two
hundred and eighty 99-l00 dollars. As
sessments have been made on those en-
tering the sewers according to the valua-
ton of the land of the abutters benefited
thereby, and today the system has not
cost the town single cent, and there is a
balance on deposit to the credit of the
sewer fund of (Sl900) nineteen hundred
dollars. Repairs during these ten years
have practically amounted to nothing,
made, so far as appears, only twice:
caused by carelessness, once by a stone
in the pipe, and once by large sponge.
Our tile is laid at a depth of three feet
and one-half under ground. We have not
many man-hOles in our old system. hut
on the new extensions there will be one
to every 400 feet of distance.
Here is a tangible basis to figure on
anyway, although the character of Mid
dlebury soil would undoubtedly increase
the cost of laying the pipes.

Mr.. Buttolph of Middebury introduced
a bill providing for the Improvement of
the court house in this village. The joint
special committee on the worlds fair in
troduced a bill appropriating $4,000 in
stead of $4,000 as appropriated at the last
session. In the evening the House spent
two hours debating this bill and finally
passed it. The bill introduced Tuesday
dividing the direct tax fund among the
towns was voted down and the money
will stay in the State treasury.

THE LEGISLATURE.

WHAT is BEING DONE AT THE EXTRA
SESSION.
The extra session of the legislature
opened at Montpelier on Tuesday with
very large attendance of members.
There was only one absentee in the SEN
ate and fifteen in the House out of 236
names on the roll. Lieutenant Governor
Fletcher presided in the Senate and
Speaker Mann in the House. Resolu-
tions to consider only matters which
were mentioned by Governor Page in
his proclamation converting the legis-
lature in extra session were introduced
in both branches and promptly voted
down. During the first day 20 bills of
varied character were introduced-seven
in the Senate and % in the House.
Bills to cede the government juris-
diction over the site selected for pub
lie buildings and resolutions to accept
the direct tax money were Introduced in
both branches and passed in the Senate.
The House committee on the worlds
fair at Chicago reported bill estab-
fishing a commission to consist of the
governor and seven others to be ap-
pointed by him and appropriating S2O,-
600 for the fair. A motion to suspend
the rules and put the bill on its passage
was lost, and the bill accordingly went
over to be printed. A bill having for
Its object the disposition of the direct
tax money was introduced and referred.
1t provides for the distribution of the
money among the towns as the old sur
plus money was divided and for the
use of the interest on the money for the
support of schools.
On Wednesday the Senate adopted a
resolution that no bill would be received
after 2 80 o'clock that day and the House
one fixing the time at o'clock. Two or
three bills amending the ballot law were
introduced in the Senate. In the House

1t was cruel of the Montpelier officers
to raid the saloons of the capital on Mon
day evening, just as the legislators were
assembling. The dispatch telling of the
affair says that "they were followed to
the hotel by a bowling mob which they
could not dsperse". Who composed the
mob the dispatch doesn't say, leaving a
large chance for inference.

Plans to Found n Now Damascus on This

Plans to Found n Now Damascus on This
Sido of the Ocean.
It is estimated that there arc now in
this country about eighteen thousand
Armcnians. They arc mostly engaged
In trade. The headquarters arc in New
York City, and few hundred men con-
troll the whole under sort of patri-
nrchal system of government which
they nll recognize with that traditional
respect for authority which is peculiar
70 men of the East. Some of tho lead
crs have grown very rich by the impor-
tation of Eastern goods which arc sold
by their pcddlcrs throughout the coun-
try. Others have, with Yankee shrcwd-
ness, got into the manufacture of inita-
tive Eastern goods which are pcddlcl
by real Arabs whose personal appear
ancc serves to give purchasers conf
dcncc in the commences of the articles
sold. There are among the capitalists
some who bear to their dependents
about the same relation that the pa
drons do to the Italians. The natives
who come here very poor have money
advanced to them for passage, and
when they get here they are supported
for awhile and trusted with goods to
sell until they are able to accumulate
little capital.
Numbers of these Syrians and Arabs
have settled in New York City in tho
tower wards. They arc frugal and in
tiustrious and look forward to the time
when they may join the select class Of
leaders who employ the others. They
settle their difficulties among them
selves and arc avcrsc to appealing to
the courts. The decision of their ac-
copied leader is considered binding and
final.
Recently project has been started
among them to found new Damascus
here. A syndicate of Armenian cap
italists has been formed with n view to
the purchase of several thousand
acres Of land in some favorable locality
near the coast, where the settlers may
find climate suitable for silk culture,
fruit growing and farming, and where
the Syrian cmigrantS may find con-
genial occupation.
The rich Armcnians who have
planned this scheme propose to supply
all the necessary funds to bring the inn
migrants hcrc, to purchase the land and
stock it and to found II city. Capital
will be loaned to the immigrants until
they arc able to start on their own ac-
count, and they will be encouraged to
buy the land as soon rs possible.
The location of the new Damascus
has not yet been determined. The cap
italigts who started the scheme, and
who prefer rot to be known IS yet by
name, have authorized Townsend Scud-
der, alawycr of New York, to look ont
for the desired tract of land, which will
probably Ge in the South or Southwest.

couIdn,t Saw ..No Flies on him. -

Speaking of glass eyes" said promi-
nent lawyer who has an Office in the Web
don building, "brings to mind little
incident that occurred a few weeks ago
In this city. Among our professional
men is one whose brilliant black eyes
would attract attention anywhere. On
one occasion this young gentleman had
the honor to escort a young lady to the
refresnment table at a party. As tney
were taking ice cream, he looked up, and
was surprised to see her eyes tixed upon
him with look of amazement. She was
wei bred woman. but something had so
astonished her that she continued to look
at him in a way that raised the question
OF his sanity.
A fly had lit squarely in the centre OF
mis- brilliant black eye. Moreover, the fly
was in no hurry TO take wings, for the
young man was unaware of its presence.
The spectacle of that eye looking at her
with fly on it, and the owner making no
attempt to brush it off, was too much for
her She had believed i'll the young
mans black eyes, and had even said they
were "magnificent;" that was enough.
The young man. learning what had
caused the look she gave him, made full
explanations; but she never could get over
it, and even now looks on him as some
thing of fraud.
