The Proper Way to Send a Stamp
in a Letter.

How many people know how 10 send a stamp
in letter? Nine people out OF ten stick il so
carefully down that the recipient always loses
his temper, and generally the stamp, in the
effort 10 release It. 1t is really more exasper-
ating than when the sender forgets altogether
the stamp he should have inclosed, for then. at
least. ii is not wasted. Even the most exlraya-
CANT OF US seldom have souls above saving
stamp. for it Is, strangely, far dearer
10 us than the TWO cents IL repre-
sents. The tenth person sends 1t loose

Slip out unseen and vanish as these totally de-

proper way Is very simple one Cut with a
sharp penknife TWO parallel Sits at the top OF

THE SAUNTERER.
Random Reflections on Timely Topics OF
Local and state Interest.

The Saunterer hears that the street rail
road company on Thursday made contract
with the Burlington FIGURING company to
furnish sufficient power to run their road
by electricity for the next five years. The
generator now at the gorge will be moved
to the power station in the Touring mill and
run in connection with the generator which
has furnished tho power since the accident
at the gorge. These two machines will de
velop 225 horse power. A third generator
of 250 horse power, has been ordered and
this will be attached to the engine at the
woollen mill as a reserve. In case of low
water, anchor ice or any accident at the
Touring station. where the two small gener
ators will run by water power, the big gem
orator can be started by steam power on five
minutes notice.

THE TELEPHONE IN VERMONT.
New Lines to be Built or the Circuit to be
Extended This summer.

ms summer
Superintendent Thurber of this division
of the New England Telephone 81 Telegraph
company was seen at his office Friday by
FREE PRESS man. Mr. Thurber has in
hand this summer the building of new lines
and other important work in the way of i'm
provements to lines in the State. He snid
that the company had determined to imme-
diately construct a long-distance circuit line
from st. Adams to Richford, 10y the way of
Swanton, Highgate Center, Highgate
Springs and Enosburgh Falls. The circuit
will be made of copper and will cost about
$4,000 Ultimately it is proposed to extend
the line to North Troy, there to connect
with the line to Newport and st. Johnsbury.
There will be public telephones i'll each of
the towns ON the line.
Owing to the demand for long distance
telephone service it has been decided to
build copper WIRE metallic circuit line
between this city and St Adams instead of
an iron wire line as at first contemplated.
The construction of this line has already
been begun. This will cost something like
s., 800.
The line between Bellows Falls and Rut-
land is being Transformed from an iron to n
copper metallic circuit When that trans
formation is completed Burlington can easily
talk with people in Massachusetts and the
| same added advantages will be the privilege
of st. Adams people after the line between
this city and their village is in operation.
If the plans of the New England company
are executed it will be only few years be
fore all the larger towns will be within
speaking distance of each other
The extension of the through circuit line
from Burlington to st. Adams and
from there to kichford, as before mentioned
then to North Troy. connecting with the
line to Newport and St Johnsbury, and
with the present line to Montpelier, will
give the towns IN western, northern and
southern Vermont telephone communication
with each other as wei as with cities in al
joining states. II is hoped that another line
may soon be built starting at White River
Junction and passing through the northeast
half of the state to 81. Johnsbury, connecting
with the Newport burlington lines. This net
work Of lines would bring Burlington,
White River Jun ton and the other inter
mediate towns on the circuits within speak
ing distance, as it also would the towns on
the circuit south OF here 1t is hoped that
ere long these plans will become realities.
Then there will be rs good telephone as tele-
graphic communication in this state.

in the county Jail Saturday, awaiting a
hearing. Lin Lee Lai was arrested on the
charge of gaining his admission to this
country fraudulenty and Gee Cock Wah on
the charge of trying to gain admission
fraudulentlv.
Lin Lee Lai arrived at Victoria Is. c.
on the steamer Empress of India March -.
where he paid the Canadian tax of $50,
which gave him right to reside in Canada
lie proceeded at once to Montreal register
ing there as Lin Lee Nine. He wrote t.
Chinese merchants in New York four of

Germs, madc atlidavitS, each claiming that
Lin Lee Lai had an interest of $1,000 in
each firm. in his examination under oath
Friday last he swore that he was intereste
in only two of the four firms There were
also several other discrepancies in his ex-
animation, which together led Inspector
Dodge to believe he had obtained his ad-
mission fraudently, so he arrested him. Col
lector Smallev being notified, ordered Lin
Lee Lai TO be brought here for hearing.
Lee claims that he has lived in the United
States but went to China some year or so
ago and is now just returning.
The other Chinaman. with 81 others.
presented himself to the inspac-
tors at Richford for admission, claim
ing to be zee Cock Wah. On exam
ination it was thought that he also was try

was arrested. If he is Yee Cock Wnh. as
he claims to be, Inspector Dodge said that
he had lost - pound, in flesh and grown
over A. inches in height since leaving this

The Saunterer notices that his opinion
that the street railway company made II
mistake in extending their line south in
stead of north is shared by at least one of
the weekly papers published in this city.
The reasons given are substantially the same
as those advanced in this column several
weeks ago. Queen City Park is already
easy of access by steam cars, while an cleo
trio car line through North avenue would be
of great convenience to hundreds of
people all along the line. But
since no cars are to run north
it is very proper that the horse
car rails should be removed and the
street restored to its former condition. as is
being done. Al the same time the discon-
tinuance of the line will be of direct benefit
to the livery stable keepers.

The correspondent statements are I'M
doubtedly true, but on general principles
the officers of town would seem to be
bound to carry out the wishes of town as
expressed in a legally-called and legally
conducted meeting. If the real taxpayers
failed to attend the meeting it is their own
fault. The seed would undoubtedly have
borne fruit in due time, had il been planted
n day later and the planters attended the
meeting. This habit of staying away from
public meetings and then criticsing the
work done has long been a feature of poll
tics. but now it seems to have found n place
in the management of the public schools.
