WHY COMPELLED TO SHUT DOWN.

Holden, Leonard & Co., manufact-
urers of fine wool dress fabrics at
Bennington, VT, whose mill is run :
ming on half time say:
s'The reason for our running on half
time is because of the uncertainty re-
garding tariff legislation. In view of
the fact that the party now in power
has been advocating a change in the
tariff on wool and woolens, and we
have to make goods which do not
reach the customer until nearly a
year afterward, we cannot find buyers
who are willing to place orders while
there is SO much uncertainty ahead.
And if there is not a change in senti
ment soon we shall be compelled to
shut down entirely.
'sIt seems to us that if this Congress
would give the country assurance that
it will not interfere with nor change
the present tariff for at least two
years there would be an immediate
change in sentiment, which would re-
new confidence and warrant us in
starting again at once. Without such
assurance the future of manufactur
ers in this country is indeed idark in
the extreme.
s'The market for woolens is not at
present overstocked, and, with the
exception of this fear of change in
the tariff, conditions are exceedingly
favorable for doing large amount of
business in our line.

B. B. Smalley of Burlington has

The Barre granite manufacturers
have held a. meeting to consider the

A fire broke out at Richford, at
1:30 a. m. Aug. 8, in L. Baker & Co.'S
planning mill. The whole plant was
wiped out in less than two hours, rep
resentiug about $4,000. The mill had
not been running for four weeks and
it is supposed that an engine set fire
to the infiammable material around
the mill. The firemen worked heroi
cally, but all they could do was 20
keep it from burning the freight de-
pot of the Canadian Pacific railway.
Two cars were burned, one of them
being loaded with lumber. Every
thing that was saved was the books
and part of the office furniture. L.
Baker & Co. had their loss partially
covered with insurance.

CONGRESS-.

Congress assembled on Monday last
and promptly proceeded to business.
The House made choice of Crisp of
Georgia for speaker. The chief part
of the time has been spent in caucuses
held by the silver and the anti silver
democrats, trying to formulate some
form of action and to come to some
agreement as to how the matter shall
be treated parliamentary, in the two
houses. Several repeal bills we're in
troduced into the senate, and Senator
Lodge of Massachusett threw that
body into quite ferment by intro
ducing resolution which set an early
day for the trial vote on the repeal
measure. The anti silver men pre-
dict that it will be a long time before
the session will close, unless there
shall be some legislation, or a COM
promise favorable to silver. There is
no doubt that the session will be a
lively one, and, in the nature of the
case, it must be hot one.

A bad wreck occurred Aug. on
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railroad at Lindsey, o. At that
station west bound Pacific express
passed local freight which had been
sidetracked. The express was running
at full speed and passed safely until
the sleepers neared the switch close
to the freight, when the first three
jumped the track and ran into the
engine of the freight. The engine
was wrecked and the sleepers were
crushed like eggshells. Three per-
sons were killed outright and twenty
five others were badly injured.
The devastation wrought by the
recent earthquake shock in Asiatic
Turkey was much greater than at
first reported. The disturbance was
confined to mountainous territory
about forty miles square Two thous-
and houses were entirely ruined. g.
900 were rendered unfit for habitation.
913 people were killed, and a much
greater number injured; 300 cattle,
horses, sheep and goats persisted.
Weeks OF severe suffering have fol-
lowed the catastrophe, aggravated in
that mountainous country bv snow
and rains. The result of the exposure
has been the death of large number
of children. The Turkish government
sent army tents and issued daily ra-
tions of bread to the stricken people,
and the sultan sent pecuniary assis-
lance. The suffering is by no means
ended, as the loss of human life and
of the working cattle will prevent the
reaping of seasonable crops.

The accident at Lake George, by
which several persons lost their lives,
appears to have been the direct re-
suit of recklessness in sending out an
incompetent person to pilot a steam
yacht with a party of pleasure seek
ers on board. While serious blame
must rest upon the individuals who
permitted or directed the incompe-
tent pilot to undertake his perilous
task, the authorities of the state are
also at fault in permitting unlicensed
persons to act as pilots on Lake George
and other inland waters on which
steam craft ply. The lost lives cannot
be restored, but similar accidents
should be provided against in the flu
ture by the prompt enactment of
needed legislation on the subject.

WONDERS OF INDIANA.
An old Timer Cot Down Into Georgia ono

An Old Timer Got Down Into Georgia Once
and Answered Some Questions.
A citizen of this place tells the fol-
lowing story: A man with a drove
of mules, the man claiming to be
from Indiana, stopped for the night
with the citizens father The fami-
ly had an idea that Indiana was
near the north pole and asked a
great many questions about the
country. In answer TO questions the
Indiana man said:
Yes, there the nights are shorter.
but they have more of them and
they are darker" He had seen it so
dark there that you couldn't see the
headlight of locomotive so feet
He also said it was a good fish coun-
try; that you could not ride a horse
across n creek without knocking out
a 2-horse wagon load of fish, but that
he had only gone fishing once, and
then only caught but one fish, and
when he pulled the fish out of the
Mississippi river the river fell six
inches.
He also said it was fine timber
country. A few days before he lefs-
homo he cut down a tree that meas
ured eNnctly 100 yards long. He
drove a wedge in the big end, and it
burst entirely open and split thick
ct of 800 feet that was so thick that
you couldn't run fishing pole into
it endways The place opened by
splitting the log was then being used
for wagon read He also said it
was very healthy country; that
only one man had died in 20 years,
and they had TO pull his breath out
with corkscrew
A young clock peddler was also
spending the night with his father,
and he asked if it would be a good
country to sell clocks. The Indiana
man said no; that they had no use
for clocks; that they kept time by
the growth of pumpkin vines, which
grew five feet every hour He said
it was the best vegetable country in
the world.
Every kind grew well except beets,
and they grew so long they stuck
through into China, and the China
men pulled them through In an
swer to question whether it was
cold country or not he said it was
awful cold. He had seen blaze of
fire freeze to the back of the chin
ney, and they had to knock it loose

1t Is Not How to Detect, but the Best waI
to Avoid Being Detected.
had occasion a short time ago tt
do some work under the direction Of
superintendent Jssis.c; "a sRGeiasef
from him some instructions in the
business of becoming detective.
To accomplish the ends which we
seek in the case in which you are en-
gagged, said the world famed rogue
catcher, 1T is very important that
no one should suspect what you are
after, and it is of paramount impor-
tance that no one shall suspect that
you are in communication with me-
Now let me give you one of the first
lessons that a detective learns. 1t is
not how to detect, but how to avoid
being detected himself livery often
happens that people who are play
ing game for big pot of money,
and who fear the police will spoil
their game, employ detectives to
shadow every one with wham they
are dealing for fear that they may
be dealing with some one who will
expose their schemes. The first thing
detective learns to do, therefore, is
to find out whether he is being shad-
owed by any one else. To do this is
simple and easy, and yet most people
not familiar with how to do it would
say, Why, how can find out if ]
am being watchedf
''All that is necessary is caution
and little nerve. Keep your eyes
open for any one whom you suspect
of following you and never go any
where where your hand would be
exposed unless you are sure you are
not followed. If you have an idea
you are followed, pay no attention to
the person you suspect of following
you. Do not try to escape him, for
that will at once arouse his suspi-
cions. Let him follow you, and to
make sure that he is really shadow
ing you after walking block or two
turn quickly and retrace your steps.
AS you pass the man you suspect
look him squarely in the eye. Re
peat this operation several times, and
you will be bound to make sure
whether or not he is really following
you.
''Of course when you know you
are being shadowed you will do
nothing to reveal what you are real
ly doing until your follower has
abandoned the chase. New York
