Gasnlens Cannot be Exploded.

James H. Mcdonald, representing the
Standard Oil Co., was at the store OF ALI
bee & Babbitt yesterday afternoon and
gave what he styled free exhibition"
His object was to show that gasolene eau
be handled with perfect safety and this he
proyes with some interesting experiments.
One experiment was with three one-gallon
cans. qasolene was turned into these cans
and the vapor ignited at the openings; he
then took another can and turned gasolene
into each of the burning cans with perfect
safety. He also turned gasolene over one
of the cans and on the floor and ignlted 1t.
and when there was fire on the outside and
in the inside Of the can and on the iool
turned fresh supply OF gasolene through
the flame into the burning can
Mr.. Mcdonald was asked why there Il
sucb a hullabaloo about gasolene and the
explosion of gasolene and gasolene stoves
if easoIene is really as harmless as water
He said: There is no such thing as
gasolene explosion except under one con
dition, and that is when gasolene vapo
and air are mixed in vessel with SINAI
opening, like a gallon can, In the proper
ton of II or ii drops OF gasolene to 70
cubic inches of air, and then the exploslo
is slight The so-called explosions oil gas
olene stoves are no explosion at all all th
trouble comes from an endeavor to get Ii
stove out doors with the result that gas
uuu1--scatfered all over the house.

AS Rip Van Wrinkle toiled up the
mountain that night, he said to HIM
self: There's no use talking, I can't
get along with that woman" He and
the dog slept soundly beneath an ov-
erhanging rock, and next morning they
held on to the westward. rowing life
suited Rip. He fell in with emigrants
and Travelled to the Indian country,
which was then the far West. He sat
around with the Indians, smoking leaf
tobacco and allowing the squaws to
do the work. Sometimes he was COM
PEELED to do little work.
AS the years passed, the Indian
country began to fill up with white
men, and Rip Van Wrinkle found that
he would either have to go to work or
else starve to death. He resolved to
do neither. He learned that he had
children and step-chlldren back in the
Catskill town, so he started for home
to live with his relatives. When he
was near his home it occurred to him
that probably he would be kept busy
the remainder of his life telling of his
adventures among the Indians He
shrank from the prospective exertion.
| Storytelling was much like work, and
| he abhorred work. What could he do?
After much thought, he decided to go
home and tell his relatives that he
didn't remember thing that had hap
pened during the twenty years of his
absence. He told this story and he
| stuck to it. OF course many of the
inhabitants maintained that he was ;
liar, but he won his point. He wou;t
sit in the sun for hours at time
smoking his long pipe, and no one
would ever ask for his impressions 0

A Successful Teacher.

For nearly half century Mrs. Alkaline
Ball has been one of the most popular and
successful of music teachers, and now upon
her retirement from active duty for time.
many regrets are expressed at her tenn
porary loss and many words are spoken in
praise of her faithfulness and superiority
as an instructor.
Mrs Ball commenced her career as a
musician at the age of 10, studying late.
in Boston with DR.. Southland, one of the
best professors in music at that time.
Afterwards she was given position at the
head Of the musical department OF the Bap-
fist seminary in Shelburne Falls, Mass,
and taught also in Keene and Winchester.
For the past 25 years or SO she has made
her headquarters in Bellows Falls, having
large number of pupils in nearly all Of
the surrounding towns. Aside from a
thorough knowledge of her art, Mrs. Bal
possesses rare power of execution, and
has been in great demand at musical en-.
entertainments of all descriptions. Fol
over u years she officiated as organist al
the Congregational church in this village
and at the time of the great Peace Jubile'
in Boston she acted as pianist for those ii
this section who took part in that event.
During her long term of service Mrs
Ball has seen many changes in method
and technique but very few in the funda
mental principles of music, and has care
fully kept pace with all advance in the lin
Of improvement.
She intends now to close her 46 years Q
work about the first of October and 500
after will leave for Chicago, from wher
her friends expect to see her return in til
spring refreshed by her winters vacation

A Queer Tramp.

A curious specimen of tramp was in
Bellows Falls recently. He is man OF
fine physique, dressed in white canvass.
On his head he wears what looks like an
old-fashioned night cap, strapped around
his waist is an old army belt in which is
stuck murderous looking knife and re-
volver. He is never seen except IN the
night. He passed through here last Satnr-
day on one Of the early morning treIgh1ts
riding in a coal car. A brakeman who
was passing over the train was badly
frightened at first sight of him. In con
versation with the train men he claimed tt
belong to the IT, S. Navy and that ne was
looking Tor deserter. He can tell the
time of leaving and arrival OF trains ant
names of conductors on nearly all the road'
in northern New England. On the arrlva
of the train at Brattleboro he disappeared

Bicycle Thief Caught.

George E. Fadden, who has been work
ing on the Proctorsville section of the Rut
land railroad for the last month, was ar
rested in Bellows Falls last night as a BIZ
cycle thief. 1t seems that Monday, Fad
den went to Ludlow and hired wheel of
o. A. Mack to ride around Proctorsville
for few days. He at once started for
this place, reaching here Monday alter
noon, and yesterday succeeded in selling
the wheel to William H. Merritt, who has
shoe shop in the Dominique block.
Having disposed of that wheel, Fadden
paid a visit to c. S. Gates bicycle shop
and offered Edward Hobson $50 for his
wheel, if the latter would let him take the
machine on trial today. At the advice Of
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1897-09-01

Mr. Gates. Hobson declined to trade, and
Fadden then tried to hire wheel of G.
Il. Sherwin.
Chief of Police A II. Thompson, who
was in Proctorsvlle Tuesday, on business,
was asked to lock out for Fadden and take
him in, as the people there had come to
the conclusion that he intended to skip
with the wheel.
The chief found the young man on the
street last night, evidently enjoying the
money he had received for the stole'
wheel, and promptly arrested him. The
Ludlow parties have been notified Of th'
capture and are expected here today.

The President at Buffalo.

President and Mrs. Mckinley and their
party visited the Grand Army reunion at
Buffalo on their way to Cleveland
In response to a serenade the president
delivered the following very beautiful little
speech:
q / wish l might frame fitting words to
make suitable response to the more than
gracious welcome which you have accorded
me here tonight. come in the spirit OF
comradeshp to talk with you as we have
so often talked in the past, around the
camp fires in war as well as the camp fires
in peace.
My fellow citizens, blessed is that coun-
try whose defenders are patriots. Blessed
is that country whose soldiers fight for 1T,
and who are willing to give the best any
man has-their own lives-to preserve 1t
because they love it. Such an army the
United States has always commanded In
every crisis of her history. From the war
of the revolution to the late civil war the
men followed that flag and believed In
what it represented.
That was the stuff of which the volun-
teer army of 1861 was made OF. Every
one of them not only fought, but they
thought, and many of them did their OWL
thinking, and did not agree with their com
rades. Remember that young soldier who
in the late war, upon the battle line, ahead
with the color guard bearing the Stars and
Stripes way in front of the line, but the
enemy still in front of him. The genera
called out to the color bearer, Bring thos'
colors back to the line,' and quicker thai
any bullet that young soldier answered
back, Bring the line up to the colors.'
More than 100000 brave men mad
up an army grancter than any army tina
ever shook the earth with its tread ant
engaged in holier cause than ever engages
soldiers before. What defenders, m.
. countrymen, have we now? We have tn
remnant of this old, magnificent, matches
r army of which / have been speaking, an

southern battlefelds. The army of Gran
n and the army OF Lee are together. The

e in purpose, and in an invincible patriotism
e And therefore the country is in no danger

New York. August 2O.-The World
says:
Portus b. Weare. a western capitalist.
who is largely interested in many enter
prises with John cudahy OF Chicago. is
in the city. He is one OF the originators
OF the s250o0,OdO company formed by Cud-
ahy and others to develope the Klondike
territory, Talking to a reporter he said:
Il have been in Alaska There is plen-
ty Of gold there. It cannot be mined in
50 years. Owing to the limited facilities
for transportation 1t is impossible that
more than 5000 OF the large army that has
started for the new fields can reach there
this year. That IS a very liberal estimate.
The divide will be closed in few weeks
and those who do not succeed In crossing
before thai tine will have to turn back
TO the settlements or run the risk OF
death from cold or starvation. Our COM
pany owns feet OF 10 ships and we have
begun to construct five steamboats, at
Port Get There. We also propose TO
erect buildings IN the mining region. To
do this We must have wood and labor
Heretofore the timber tas been cut by
Indians. but nearly all Of them have
gone to the mines. leaving the wood
camps almost deserted.
I'VE shall send out two expeditions
from Seattle Sept. 10th and 18th. We
have already hired 800 men who propose
to prospect for gold. We want no others.
Prospectors must have endurance and
that is the kind Of men We want We
can find remunerative employment for
many more. It is our intention 20 sail
for Port Get There on St. Michaels is
land. where all who want II will be fed
and lodged and paid 81 a cord for cutting
wood. An average man can cut cord
and half day. We must have wood
for our boats and for the buildings we
propose to erect. The doors. windows
and other parts as far as possible will
be made at Port Get There.
AT the proper time our ship will leave
Port Get There and go to the mouth OF
the Yukon via the Aleutian islands. The
gold fields will be reached by June 18th
as early a date, If not earlier, than by
any ocher route for those who did not
start some weeks ago. Then, too, the
journey will be attended with less dan
ger"
