Mr.. Editor, is that the Ium element is run

DISORDER UPHELD!
Reformer Champions the Cause of
Intemperance in Our Sister State.

On several occasions the Brattleboro
Reformer correspondent from this place
has taken extraordinary pains to adver-
tise THE, TIMES, in one way or another,
which is kind of him, though we do
not require it. That marvel of modern
newspapers, unmindful of its own week
ly land likewise weakly mass of mac
curacies, takes occasion at times to cor
rect alleged mis-statements in THE
TIMES. We do not claim to be infalli-
ble-there is but one such paper in the
world. But we try to present the facts
to the best of our ability, aided by the
best obtainable knowledge of the facts.
Last week the correspondent of our
neighboring contemporary earned about
$1.09 and the righteous contempt of the
best citizens of this village and North
Walpole by a laudatory vindication of
the saloon keepers of the latter place,
in opposition to an article in THE
TIMES of December q.
Ordinarily such attacks as We're made
on the writer of the article would be al
lowed to go unanswered as beneath the
dignity of fair thinking person to no.
tice; but this is an exceptional case as
it not only assails the good intentions
of the writer but contains some state
ments which need explanation.
We had in mind to dissect the Re-
former article, paragraph by paragraph,
and answer each separately; but a
second reading convinces us that there
has really been very little said, and not
much of that worth wasting time owe r.
In reporting raids in North Walpole we
have tried to get the facts from the Off
cial fountain head but with little sue
cess. Deputy Sheriff Griffin has
promised to hand in such reports, and
was at one time, before his elevation to
his present high position, however, very
anxious that we should publish long
reports of every raid in which he took
part. Since he has become lord high
executioner these reports have ceased
to materialize, and we get what news
we can from other sources. The au-
thority for some statements we have
forgotten.
Regarding the raid Of the hotel,
where Mr.. Griffin is reported as saying
there was no. one found but the proprie-
tor, young man who claimed he was
there gave the information to THE
TIMES. He may have lied, but we
hardly thought that it was an event to
boast of, and he seemed ashamed, fear
ing the news of his being there would
get out The trial had not been held
when we went to press, and the under
standing was that the case would be
heard at Keene.

Deputy Sheriff Griffin states that he

Deputy Sheriff Griffin states that he
knows of but six saloons in North Wal
pole, and that five of those We're in OPP
Grafton when he was appointed. If
fsuch Is the case, he is not fit man to
hold the office. An official who know
ingly allows crime to increase under his
very nose is either unworthy or unfit
for the place. He claims to be unaware
of more than six places in his village
where liquor is sold, and that there are
but that number holding revenue
stamps. We beg to differ with him.
There are nearly double that number
holding stamps and perhaps all of them
do. He says he has no doubt but that,
if THE TINES will kindly give informa-
ton about the other places, an effort
will be made to remedy the evil. We
hardly think so. When he proves his
sincerity by closing up, for good those
six places, we may feel willing to fur
nish the necessary information about a
part of the other "a, more or less, if they
are then running. And, by the way,
will he please tell us now for publica-
ton, the names of the six saloons he
knows of and their proprietors?
He further says that there is no truth
in the statement that the saloon keepers
had promised him to close at 1890
o'clock. That may be SO; we only had
Mr.. Griffin's word for it in converse
ton last summer. We also know that
the agreement, if there were one made,
or the order, as Mr.. Griffin calls it, has
not been kept.
In the closing spasms of his interview
Mr.. Griffin states that he agrees with
The TINES that there has been nothing
done the past year toward closing the
saloons, giving as a reason that when
he succeeded in closing them once for
six months he did not receive the con-
CALCULATIONS of the business men. We
think his memory must be faulty, for
we have heard his actions endorsed and
himself congratulated for his good work
and that to his face.
In all, The Reformer funny business
for paper with such name, too) has
made very lame case, as papers are
apt to do when they try to shield of
lenses against law and order.
The following letter from a North
Walpole reader shows that not all the
citizens Of that place side with the Re-
former, or think THE TIMES is casting
slurs on the village and it's residents.
-N North Walpole, January 8, 1885.
Editor of the BELLOWS FALLS TINES
In last weeks issue of the Windham Coun-
ty Reformer, there appeared an interview
with our genial deputy sheriff, p. e. Griffin,
defending the rum sellers of North Walpole.
As friend of Mr.. Grif1in's l should prefer to
see him use his talent and ability on the side
of law and order and against law breakers.
We are raising large population OF chill
dren here; will Mr.. Griffin tell us what kind
of citizens they will make, surrounded as

blame US for telling it. either, Mira NJ.
E, Young lives at 904 West Seventh
street, and if you could see some of the
handsome dresses she makes, you would
think she was as we'll posted on gowns
as she is on doctors. She grows enthu-
siastic when talking about Professor
Samuels. A JOURNAL reporter stopped
in out of the rain yesterday, and this Is
what he heard: Gas near as l can re-
member it is seventeen years since l
began to suffer with severe pains in
my side and back. While causing me
the most intense suffering my ailments
also prevented me from doing any sort
of manual labor. If l should even sweep
the house the penalty was several hours
of acute suffering and generally day in
bed. l could manage to cut and saw
some, and that was all. At first took
medicine, but seeing it did me no good
long ago abandoned il. Three weeks
ago | went to Prof. Samuels solely for
the purpose of getting pair of glasses,
the ones l had no longer fitting my eyes
While talking about my eyes l acct
dentally mentioned my other ailments
and you can imagine my surprise when
the Professor lnf OrmeQ me ne cOuld not
only lit my eyes but curs my back also.
He at once began to treat mo entirely
through the eyes and today l am as free
from pain as any body. Lately l have
kept my own house, and can now bring
in coal, attend to flowers or do most any
other manual labor l have never felt
SO well since l was girl of fifteen as
have during the last two weeks"
Living with Mrs. Young is her sister,
Mrs. b. W. Guy, whose former homo was
in Ohio. Nineteen months ago she was
stricken with parall sis in her left side.
The disease affected her left arm and
limb principally, and was accompanied
by intense nervous prossraIion. She first
docsored with tho best Cincinnati physI-
clans and afterwards with Topeka physi-
clans Having received no Dendft she
determined to follow her sisters course
and try Prof. Samuels. When he called
to see her she was in bed and suffering
terribly. After an examination the pro-
fessor told her he could cure her suffer
ing and nervousness and might help the
paralysis but could not cure it. Mrs.
Guy can now sit comfortably in chair
and walk without crutch, the first time
since she was stricken. She also has
much better us9 of her arm and the ner-
vousness has entirely disappeared. Both
the women are wearing the professors
glasses and seem to take great pleasure
in telling of his wonderful cures And
well they may, for he has transformed d
household of suffering into one of JOY
and gladness. His office is at COG Kan
J sas avenue, where he can be consulted
from 9 till O'clock any day.

An experiment is being tried in Lon
don which will be watched with keen
interest by municipal authorities il
this country. Here the disposition Of
city garbage is oftener than not a source
of perplexity, but in England they
seem to have made up their minds that
the proper thing to do with refuse is
to make money out of it. :, Many towns
are deriving much of their electric cur
rent supply from the sweepings OF the
streets, and the vestry OF Shoreditch,
a district of London, is about to show
that this utilization can be turned to
more varied uses than have yet been
considered. The Testry, prompted by
the knowledge that the furnaces in
which the refuse is destroyed may be
very advantageously employed for the
generation of steam or other purposes,
has bought q piece c. land upon which
it is going to erect a Dust destructor on
the newest principles. 1t will make the
destructor do treble duty-it Will &C.
stroy useless refuse, generate steam for
lighting the parish electrically, and
supply electric power to>those who need
it, and at the same time it will afford a
supply of hot water for public baths
and wash houses. The smokestack will
be $50 feet high. Around the foot of
it will be the electric light and power
station, the baths and wash houses. AS
showing how little objection on the
score of noise and dirt can be raised to
the installation OF such a plant as this
in. the heart of crowded city, it is
worth while to mention that large o1d
handsome public library is to be erected
on a corner of the same plot of ground.
