The sudden and total collapse the other
night of two frame hotel buildings in Chi
cago near the Worlds Fair grounds calls
attention anew to a serious danger. There
are said to be many similar mantrsps that
the local authorities have allowed to be
constructed in that section of the city.
The frailty of the wrecked buildings is
shown by the fact that the accident was
caused by simple gust of wind and rain.
Fortunately they were not quite finished
or the catastrophe might have been at
tended with a shocking loss of life.
The Building Commissioner whose duty
it is to see that structures of this sort are
not erected, declares that not only are
there many of the same kind of frame
buildings in that district of Chicago, but
that many of the brick buildings put up to
be used as hotels during the fair are
equally dangerous This official asserts
that these structures are "vertable fire
traps" He acknowledges that they have
been built in defiance of local regulations
to the contrary, but declares that he is
helpless to prevent it, on the ground that
capitalists with local pulp override his
efforts to enforce the municipal regu-
lations.
The Chicago officials who permit such
buildings to be erected in violation of the
city ordinances are alike guilty with the
greedy spectators who put them up
These structures are intended to house
thousands of men, women and children
who will visit the Columbian Exposition
If they are so fiimsy that they are liable
to be blown down by passing squall
they are utterly unfit to house human
beings. Chicago is exerting supernuman
energy to attract people to the great fair
Its authorities should promptly condemn
every Buddensiek rookefy that has beer
constructed.

An Old Newfsne Boys sunday Evening
Address.

w. H. Newton of Wallingford, Conn,
who was in town over Sunday, addressed
the evening meeting by giving an account
of Murpby's recent wonderful temperance
work in Wallingford and other Connect
cut towns and cities. The speaker ex-
pressed his pleasure at being in the haunts
of his boyhood. He was glad to see old
friends in the choir, glad to see the children
present with their smiling faces. No man
with long face could do much good, If he
could any. 1t seemed natural to be in that
audience room. Days were recalled when
the speaker, with his boy associates, at
tended there upon occasion, though they
would rather be down in yonder horse sheds,
as they were some times in meetin' time,
land let me tell you,' said the speaker,
''that the horse sheds of those days had
facilities for boys enjoyment far ahead of
the present" He spoke three-quarters of
an hour, and though the Christian En-
deavor society had held a short service,
nobody seemed to weary of the tale
This is not said in compliment 10 the
speaker, but as tribute to a remarkable
reform work narrated to us by one brought
up here, and one whose interests still cling
strongly to his native place. 1t was a
work so sweeping in its results that even a
hasty and imperfect summary of it by an
unpretentious speaker held the audience
spell-bound. The speaker was proud to be
one of the 2j00 (one-third of the popula-
tion) to wear the blue ribbon. Scarcely a
business man there had failed to sign the
pledge. The majority of that large number
of signers were men. and boys fast coming
into manhood, and signing the pledge
means with man of honor not only total
abstinence on his part but work for the
temperance cause, work for saving men.
The speaker in referring to Thomas f.
Murphy as an apostle of temperance, said
he was indeed an "apostle, indeed in some
respects he was ahead of Paul." for Paul
was mean enough to forbid the women
speaking in meeting. In the city of Mid
| dletown, with12, 000inhabitants, 2700 signed
the pledge during the Murphy campaign.
Murphy was non-sectarian and non-politi-
cal in his methods In Wallingford, as a
practical result of the work, $50, 900 has
been raised 20 establish temperance home
or club to counterfeit the saloon.

A large display of plants in bloom were
placed upon the platform of the pulpit.
Prof. Adkins of Mt. Hermon made the ad-
dress, which perhaps was as fine literary
effort as was ever delivered in Putney, hard
to be surpassed in eloquence and ease of
delivery. In the afternoon the Grand
Army post and Woman's Relief corps went
to East Putney and decorated the graves of
the dead soldiers in the cemetery there.
May 80 the Col. w. w. Greenwood post
in the morning went to Dummerfton, at

the dead soldiers graves in the cemetery
there, and after partaking of a dinner pro-
vided for them returned TO Putney. At 2
o'clock all repaired to the town hall to listen
to a speech by the orator of the day. 1t
was expected that Capt. j. c. Baker of
Rutland would be the speaker, as lie had
been engaged, but circumstances prevented
his coming, and Rev. Mr.. Sprague of Brat
leboro was engaged TO take his place
Music was furnished by male quartet of
home talent. Prayer was offered by the
chaplainsof the post and recitations were
given by several ladies, after which Mr.
Sprahue was introduced He delivered a
sound and stirring discourse, appropriate
to the occasion, after which the post, Re

The Celebration of Memorial Da

The Celebration OF Memorial Day.
The memorial sermon, delivered last
Sunday by Rev. H. A. Abbott of Whining
ton, at the Universalist church, was listen
ed to by large congregation, including
many Grand Army men and their families.
Mr.. Abbott spoke feelingly of the trials
and sufferings of the soldier, and exhort-
ed all to remember their country, its flag
and its defenders. His discourse abound
ed with patriotic utterances.
Memorial day opened bright and pleas
ant. At the appointed hour Chas. p.
Clark post gathered at their hall, where
they formed in line and marched to the
village hall, where the column was joined
by Sons of Veterans, Woman's Relief
corps, schools and citizens. Thence the
march was to the UniveIsalist church,
where the exercises of the day were held,
consisting of prayer, music by the choir,
address by Rev. A. j. Hough of Brattle-
boro, declarations by school children, mu-
sic, and the benedicion. The company,
led by the Grand Army post, then marched
TO the cemetery, where the members of the
post rendered the ritual of the order. The
graves were then decorated, after which the
column was reformed and marched to viii
lage hall, where a bountiful repast awaited
all. Detachments were sent to the other
cemeteries in town, and the soldiers graves
were all decked with flowers.
The address by Mr.. Hough was one OF
the most patriotic Orations il was ever oul
privilege to listen to, and never did a
speaker have a more attentive and appre
ciative audience. Even the sleeping dog
when his species was spoken of, rushed tC
the front and applauded.
