Grand Trunk and American railways.
The new arrangement confines the
fast steamers to ST. John or Halifax
when the navigation of the st. Law
renee is closed. The steamers are to
be built under the supervision of the
British Admiralty, and in case of a
maritime war are to be fitted as cruis
ers. Two are to be ready to perform
fortnightly service on or before
May 81, 1899, two more in time to be-
gin a weekly service by May 81, 1900.
The contract was as good as awarded
to the Allans by the Tory Admins
trstion, but the Liberals, on taking
Office last year, opened negotiations
with the Petersen company and final

CANADIAN FAST LINE.

The necessary capital has been sub
scribed in England for building the
steamers that are to belong to the
new fast Atlantic service between
Canada and Liverpool. This service
was projected by the Tory Admins
tration at Ottawa. The Liberal Ad
ministration has carried out the plan
on somewhat easier terms for the
Canadian taxpayer. There are to be
four steamers Of $1,000 tons gross reg
lister each, designed to carry from
1900 to 1000 tons of cargo, of which
800 are to be fitted with coldstorage
accommodation. The contract further
provides that they shall be built, fitted
and maintained in all respects equal to
the best Atlantic steamers now afoat,
such as the Campania and Lucania,
that they shall carry not less than 800
first class, 200 second class and 500
steerage passengers, and make the
trip across the Atlantic from port to
port at an average speed Of 500 knots
every twenty four hours, or nearly
81 knots an hour.
The contract has been awarded to
Petersen, Tate & Co. of Newcastle
on-Tyne. 1t will last for ten years.
The Canadian Government gives an
annual subsidy Of S515, 200 and the
British Government an annual sub
sidy of 1857, 800, making total yearly
subvention of $772, 800 for the service.
The steamers are to carry the British
and Canadian mails, to sail from Que
bee or Montreal in summer and from
st. John, n. B., or Halifax in winter,
and not to call at any foreign port.
Hitherto the Allan vessels, which
have had the carrying of the mails,
have made Portland their winter port
in order to obtain cargoes from the

THE "a YSTON LAND SLIDE.

An occasional old resident of Waits
field Or of Fayston can be found who
remembers the great land slide Of
June 8. 1927, when about one hundred
acres of heavily timbered land slid off
Fayston mountain and was deposited
in the valley beneath. But it will be
many a long year before the "oldest
inhabitant'' of that section Of Wash
ington county will cease to talk of the
occurrences of last Wednesday morn
ing, when one of the most extensive
avalanches ever known in Vermont
and possibly in New England, with
out warning came rushing down the
side Of Warren and Fayston noun
tain, and was deposited in the valley
below.
The top Of the slide was situated in
the town of Warren. What started it
will never be known. An immense
rock estimated to weigh nearly two
hundred tons fell that morning dis
lance of ten rods from a nearly per-
pendicular height, and where this i'm
mense boulder struck was the begin
ming of the slide. It started nearly at
the top of the mountain at two sep
arate points, and after a distance of
about one hundred rods the two came
together and the combined avalanche
went laundering and crashing to the
foot of the mountain, nearly three
miles, and its momentum carried it
nearly mile further upon compare
lively level ground. A small brook
trickIes down the mountain side in
this valley that was swept by the land
slide, and that Wednesday this stream
was swollen to raging torrent.
About one hundred and twenty acres
of he avily wooded spruce timber land
went down IN the slide, leaving the
rocks behind almost perfectly bare.
The average width of the avalanche
was twenty rods and at several points
near the top of the slide it was at
least sixty feet deep. The noise was
deafening and was heard for a dis
lance of five miles and more. The
avalanche made two sharp turns, one
about half mile from the top Of the
slide after it had fallen from the i'm
mense boulder, and again as it left
the forest just back of the residence
OF Hollis Mehuron.
About half way from the starting
point to the valley below, the force Of
the avalanche was so tremendous that
it tore out the logs, rocks and debris
in it's path by the old land
slide of seventy years ago. The logs
were in a remarkable state of preser-
walton and bore the appearance of
having lain only very few years.
The land that was swept out of ex-
istence was owned by @. A. Mehuron,
G.. NJ. Billings and Fred Parker, and,
it was covered with heavy
spruce timber, SO far was it from civ
ilization that these gentlemen esti-
mate their loss at the surprisingly |
low figure Of 500 each.
By actual measurement it was 1894 |
feet above the level of the sea where |
it was deposited in the valley, MAX |
ing an actual fall Of 2, 416 feet.-W Watch

beer garden on West Market street. He
said he went into the place to get a
peaceful glass of beer and when he
stepped out into Wabash street through the

They knocked him down, he said, and took
his 800 watch and S. in money He was
not injured and no bruises were visible on
his face when he appeared at the police
station. The robbery he said, occurred
just at dusk.

fights which occurred there after hours
and for the reason that it was frequented
by disreputable women. Under Stout's
management there has been less publicity
given the place, but the conditions are

open and drinks were served in violation of
the law. Two entrances to the garden are
maintained on Sunday. Visitors may go in
through the restaurant on Market street or
through a Wabash-street entrance directly
into the garden. There a waiter is sta

WHITE STREETS AND EYESIGHT
Not the Glare, but Fine Dust, That
Causes the Trouble.

A skillful indianapolis eye surgeon was
asked if a great many Affections of the eye
were not due to the glare of the sun on the
white asphalted streets and cement side
walks of the city. The physician replied that
the reflection from the streets and side
walks was no worse for the eyes than that
of any ordinary white surface. He gave it
as his opinion that the light reflected from
On asphalt pavement was not as hard on the
eyes as the same reflection from a brick
pavement.
There is a diseased condition of the eyes
brought on" continued the oculist, ''as a
result of the fine accumulation of dust that
settles on these asphalt streets. 1t brings
about an Inflammation similar to the disease
We once called pink eye" This is more
prevalent, however, when the atmosphere
is very dry. This fine settlement of dust
gets into the eye and causes a slight in
Illumination This is followed by q peculiar
itching and then the discharge from the
eye commences. These cases are very COM
mon here They are always treated anti
septically. There is no remedy to prevent
this condition as long as smooth, hard pave
ments and sidewalks are constructed. OF
course, in the summer time, when the sun
is very hot, there is a glare that affects the
eye. The sun shining on the snow would
have the same effect. This Inflammation
and itching OF the eye caused by the dust
from the asphalt could not be classed as an
asphalt disease, because the lust from any
other kind of a pavement would have a ten
dency to affect the eyes in the same way

Yellow Jackets as Bait.
New York Evening Sun.


A new bait for bass has been discovered
by a sportsman, who says yellow jack
cts! They're the stuff! These little bugs
with business ends are mighty frisky and
rather hard to tame. but their stingers seem
to sharpen the appetites of the bass. l
threw bucket of water on a nest of the
yellow Jackets and before their wings dried
out had them all in a box, the maddest lot
of bees that ever hummed / cut a little
opening where one could crawl out at a
time. The first one put on my hook was
nailed in jiffy by a large sunfish, but
failed to hook it. The antics of that fish
after a few seconds were amusing 1t
leaped out of the water, then wabbled about
on it's side just at the surface for a mo-
ment longer, when l reached over and
grabbed it. The fish was almost dead, so
l cut it open to see what the yellow jacket
was doing. He was as lively as flea, just
working that old stinger as fast as he could.
1 slipped him on my hook again, and cast
out toward shore, where the bait was nailed
by a good-sized bass. / caught fourteen
bass with the yellow Jackets had, and the
bait didn't disturb the value of those gour-
mandS in the least"

Rebuke to Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr..

NEW YORK, Nov. THE chorus choir
of the Pepoles Church, Of which Rev.
Thomas Dixon, jr is pastor, consisting of
about forty singers, refused to sing to-day
out of sympathy with Prof. Agramonte,
their leader, because the pastor last Sun
day advocated the election of Seth Low for
mayor Prof. Agramonte is a Cuban and
member of the Junto here. His son has
been in a Spanish prison on the island of
Cuba for two years. The Cubans say that
Seth Low was opposed to any Intervention
of this country in Cuban affairs and has
stood against the cause of Cuban liberty
since the outbreak of the last war. Mr.
Dixon, in his sermon to-day said that he
sympathized with Prof. Agramonte and had
advocated voting for Low last Sunday only
because he stood the best chance for cleo
ton against Tammany. He was opposed to
Low personally.

t EAYOR ON PARK DECISION.
Board of Works VIII Continue the
system, He Says.

Mayor Taggart said last night that the
recent decision of the Supreme Court need
not seriously affect the situation regarding
Indianapolis parks. The work of securing
parks and caring for those already owned
would go on just the same, as it did be-
fore the creation of the Board of Park
Commissioners.
The Board of Works viii take up the
work. he said, and carry it on just as
it did before the passage Of the park-board
law. Under the old condition of things
the work which the Park Board has been
doing was done by the Board OF Public
Works, and there is no reason why this
board should not do IL again. 1t may mean
more work for the Board of Works, but
1t can provide for this. In my opinion the
WORK already done by the Park Board is
legal and can be looked upon as having
been done for the Board. of Works | be-
ieve the issue of bonds will be considered
legal. AS TO the future / would certainly
faycr the passage of a valid law creating
