old boat there. After padding around
the pond for an hour or two and getting
all the lilies in sight, they decided to so to
shore. All this time the boat had beer
leaking badly and one OF the boys begar
to bail out the water. 1t is supposed that
the boat was rocked enough to dip water
from the side; at any rate it suddenly
went under. Rice and Switzer stood near
together in one end OF the boat, and went
under the water clinging to each other.
Rice tried to get free and Switzer had
presence of mind enough to leave hold
OF him. He then came to the top and
struck out for the shore about two rod.
distant, but did not get tar before he wa.
exhausted and went to the bottom again
Rice thought this was the last call, but he
made one more effort, came to the top ant
succeeded in reaching bunch of mud and
grass where he hung until he was rescued
by Carroll and piece Of plank.
Carroll at first chung to the boat but
when he saw that Switzer did not come tc
the top he bravely went to the rescue
Switzer is heavy man and being unable
to swim and having all his clothes on, hi
was not able to get his head above water
Carroll got hold OF his clothing and pushed
him toward the shore, but during all thi.
time, which must have been six or eight
minutes, Switzer's head was under the
water with the exception OF couple Of
seconds when he took two shifts of air.
A fortunate circumstance was the fact
that Charles Fowle, night hostler for the
Fitchburg road was standing on the bank
when the accident happened. AS Carroll
neared the shore with his burden Fowlt
reached him branch of tree and tn.
two together succeeded in getting Switze,
onto dry land. They supposed he was
dead; his eyes were set, his lips purple
and his wrists pulseless. They at once
began rolling him about and presently
there were signs of life, but it was sc
minutes before lie regained consciousness
With the assistance of Fowle and Car
roll, Switzer walked as far as Nim,' pas.
ture, when team was secured. The acct
dent occurred about 90 and it was u sc
when the party reached Bellows Falls
Both Switzer and Rice were confined tc
the bed for time and their work in thu
division office is being done for the present
by George Andrews and Eidon Fleury.
1t Mr.. Fowle had not been on the bank
it is quite likely that all three would have
persisted; and had it not been for tn,
heroic efforts Of Carroll it is probable tina
Switzer would have drowned in any event

FEUD OF SIX CENTURIES.
Strife Between the Buffers and Fitz-Ger
aids Settled by II Boys IngenuOusness.


Strife Between the Buffers and Fitz-Ger!
aids Settled by "a Boys righteousness.
1t is seldom in this workaday age
that one encounters a genuine fam
lily feud, inherited from sire to son
through no less than six centuries, oh.
serves the New York Journal. Such a
feud actually existed in the dominions
of Queen Victoria until short time,
ago, and its final settlement was
brought about by the righteousness of
boy of nine.
The two leading Anglo-Irish fam
lilies in Ireland have long been the
Fitz-Geralds and the Buffers. From be-
ing comrades in arms of the invading
Strongbow, they became by degrees
rival barons and fierce contestants for
the vice-sovereignty of their adopted
country. In the wars of the roses the
Buffers sided with the White rose Of
Lancaster, the FitZ-Geralds with the
red rose of York. Factions gathered
around the two great houses, and the
bitter feud brought forth death and
bloodshed from as early as 1850 down
to the Williamite wars
The Buffers, whose chief had OBJ
| tanned the dignity of Earl of Ormonde,
succeeded in crushing the power of the
elder branch of the Fitz-Geralds, Earls
| of Desmond. 1t is told of a warlike
Desmond that while being borne prls-
| oner on the locked shields of his feudal
foes clansmen the Buffers tainted
him with the bitter words:
Where is the now proud Fitz-Ger-
ald?"
To which the indomitable Earl an
| swered:
"Fitz-Gerald is where he ought to
be-on the necks of the Buffers
This proud reply will give an idea Of
the intensity of the strife
| Now, it happened that His Majesty's
| Irish Viceroy gave a garden party id
the viceregal lodge at Dublin, and
| thither were hidden by accident the
| Marquis of Ormonde, head of the But
| Ter family (familiar to Americans
| through his yachting interests), and
| the little Duke OF Leinster, boyish
chieftan of the house of Fitz- Gerald.
With the Duke, who was not quite nine
years of age, came his widowed moth
| err one of the beautiful Duncombe
sisters.
The Duchess of Leinster lost sight
| of her son for a space, and in going
| to look for the lad found him engaged
| inearnest conversation with tall eld-
| erly gentleman, in whom she was sur
| prised to recognize the Marquis of
| Ormonde. What was her horror when
| on approaching nearer, she distinctly
heard the youthful Geraldine remark
in somewhat slangy phrase:
| We'll, l suppose l ought to punch
your head on account of the feud; but
[ say, you know, you're too jolly decent
a chap for that. Can't we shake hands
and call it square?'
| With the utmost gravity Lord Or
monde grasped the small hand of his
hereditary foe, and when the amused
mother came to congratulate them on
the happy settlement of 600 years of
bitterness she found the young hope
full perched, like his famous ancestor.

Next Monday.

The billboards, windows, teams, etc.
proclaim that Mora is with us again. Are
you going to see her on Monday night
next? If not, why not? When this in
describable little artistic was with us in
November last her performances gave per-
feet satisfaction. Everyone has words of
praise for Mora and her large company.
In fact large party assembled at the depot
on Saturday night and spoke their words
of praise as the engine steamed out from
thetstation. A prominent actor once said
of the people of Bellows Falls, when asked
for his opinion of our people, "Please
them once, they are loyal and will give you
a good welcome when next you visit them"
From present indications the opera house
will be well filled Monday night next,
Mora is that same charming coincidence
who has always pleased in the past.
Her company is even stronger than last
wear, and that is saying great deal.
Many of the people have New York rep
utation and will surely become favorites
Neil Twoouey, who found favor last season
as Morals leading man will be again seen
in leading roles. Eugene Ellsworth will
be seen in prominent characters. Mr..
Ellsworth was leauluS HAL al tue Srduu
opera house stock company, Boston, all
last season. Mr.. Jackson, formerly of
1.-The Fast Mail" ''Jim, the Penman,"
etc. is a valuable member. James Kits
of the grand opera house stock will also be
cast. G. M. Kimmell, late of the Ten
nessee's Partner" company, is included In
the company. In Prof De Burdy an ex-
cellent musician has been secured. The
ladies include Miss Madge Burt of the
Bowdoin Square theatre, Boston. Miss
Done Bardeli, formerly prominent MEM
Der of several metropolitan companies, and
Miss Florence Emery leading vaudeville
artist. OF course Fred Williams is here.
Fred was big favorite last winter and
one would hardly feel at home at one of
Morals performances if genial Fred's bright
f,ce sometimes darkened for negro
eharacters) did not appear.
One of Edison's best and truest picture
machines will be feature of this engage

nos,ible to make the audience comfortable.

Robbed a BaiIiff,

Michael Davis was arraigned before JUS
tice c. H. Williams yesterday charged
with larceny and fined So and costs, $11
in all.
Davis is mason and was in the employ
Of John o. Spring. Thursday Mr.. Spring
left his coat hanging in some part of the
mills under the hill and Davis went through
the pockets extracting therefrom 81 80, all
the money in the coat. He then went over
to North Walpole and celebrated, but he
made fatal mistake when he came over to
Bellows Falls yesterday, for he was
promptly arrested by Chief Thompson,
and hustled into court. Davis's experience
ought to make it evident that, in addition
to being discourteous, it is not safe to rob
a bailiff.

A hallway HGspitaI Car.

One of the most unique products in
the line of modern railway enterprises
is the hospital Ger which has recently
made its appearance in Belgium. Such,
indeed, IS tbs wondrouS a1aptability OF
this new device to the needs of trans
port3ti l That its popularity, not only
on the o.her side of the water, but al
SO OIL this. is assured from the outset.
The hospital car is intended to serve
double purpose. In the event of Sc
rious railroad accidents it may be used
TO transport wounded passengers to
the nearest large city for treatment, or,
In more frequent instances, to carry
helpless invalids to places of resort.
Writing from Client, Consul Morris
gives the following description of the
hospital car: The interior is divided
into main compartment, a corridor
ON one side, and two small rooms at
The end. The largest compartment is
the hospital proper; it contains twen-
ty-four isolated beds on steel tubes
hung upon powerful springs. Each pa
1ent lies in front of two little win
lows, which may be closed or opened
at willis Each bed is provided with
little movable table and cord serves
10 hold all the various small objects
which the patient may need. The cor
ridor on the outside of the hospital
chamber leads to the linen closet and
the doctors apartment. In the latter
is large cupboard. The upper por-
ton is used for the drugs; the lower
part is divided into two smaller COM
-partments-one serving as receptacle
for the doctors folding bed. The hos
pital compartment is carpeted with
iinoleum or other material to deaden
The sound of walking. Various trap
doors in the floor, when opened, dis
close to view an ice chest, compart-
ment for the disinfection of soiled lin.
en-, and provision cellar. If neces-
sary, a portion of the hospital cham
Der may be transformed into an ope-
rating room for urgent cases."

Cans received, 1,O7S, $40
| Cans sold, 724, 10Y
Gross surplus 354, 742
5 per cent of sales &c, POS
Net surplus 31S, 537
These shipments amount to 80, 961 cans
per day, SO that the surplus is equivalent
to S.S5 days supply. The butter value of
can of milk figured according to the Gus
tomary method is 10 1-2 cents. This is
the lowest value of butter in the history of
the trade, but for ease in computation the
contractors added little to the value of
the surplus milk, and increased the num-
Der of days surplus to corresponding
extent, so that the surplus is to be figured
at nine days at II cents, the same as last
June. The surplus last year was II cents
in May, June and July. This year it has
been II cents in May and June. Last
year the surplus was nine days in June the
same as this year. The surplus for MAY
was eight and three-fourths days, one quar-
ter of day less than for June.
The amount of surplus and the butter
value of the surplus milk for this year has
been as follows:
January, 6 days at IA 1-2 c. per can.
February, 5 IL days at 15c. per can.
March, 3-4 days at 14c. per can.
April, IL days at 13c. per can.
May, 8 3 A days at lie. per can.
June, 9 days at lie. per can.
/ This surplus at the price named amounts
to !, an average discount on all shipments as
tfollows:
2.51c. where price is 100.
soc. where price is zoe.
3 10c. where price is 21c.
3 4Oc where price is 22c.
3 roc. where price is Csc.
We raise our monthly protest against
this way of presenting the case to the
farmers. 1t is misleading and tends to
| create dissatisfaction The facts of the
case, to the farmer shipping 1000 cans for
Instance, are that the contractors wanted
| only GIG cans of his milk. But under the
prevailing system they took all that be had
to sell. So that while he had market for
676 cans at 81, %, % cents or whatever
| the price might be at his station, he also
sold 324 cans at their butter value-1I
cents. He sold one half more milk under
the surplus though at it, but
ter value Tor the surplus-than he could but
for this system.-New England Farmer. q

VICTIM OF AMBITION.

One Out of Many Examples of Men Who
Are Ruined by Devotion to Politics.
"There goes B., poor fellow; 1 feel
sorry for him. remarked a Western
Congressman to newspaper cores
pendent as tall man walked by with
downcast eyes and an air of detection
"Who is he?" asked one of the Con.
CHEESEMAN'S companions.
well, he is lawyer by profession
and was doing we'll until he began to
dabble in politics few years ago. In
an evil hour for him he was nominated
for Congress and was elected by a
scratch. He served only one term, but
that was long enough for him to lose
most of his clients and all his profess
sional ambition, apparently. He has
been here ever since President Nc
Kinley's Inauguration, trying to obtain
an Office of some sort. He applied frs.
for an appointment as Consul General.
The place he sought is one of the most
important of it's class, and one which
requires man of wide experience and
the highest ability. B. is good fellow
and a lawyer of fair ability, but he
does not possess the qualifications nee
| essary for Consul General. Of course
he realized at last that he could not
obtain the coveted appointment, and
began to seek an opening in other di-
rections, but thus far he failed, and,
as his appearance denotes he is al
most disheartened
HE is not man of large means; in
fact, l fear that his purse is nearly
empty. He left his hotel weeks ago,
and now occupies humble lodgings in
an obscure street, and, am inclined to
believe, gets his meals where he can
find them cheapest. Not long ago l
was at luncheon with some friends in
q restaurant when B. entered He did
not observe me, and walked to the bar
and bought mug of beer, putting
down nickel to pay for it. Beer mug
in hand, he then turned to the free
lunch counter, where he stood for
some time eating with the haste and
Voracity of a half-fajnished man. see
him frequently walking the streets and
in the hotel Hobbies or the corridors of
the Capitol, always alone and usually
talking to himself, except when he can
buttonhole former colleague or some
other acquaintance who he hopes may
be able and willing to aid him in his
rt-breaking and almost hopeless
search for the office he is ever pursU-
ing and never overtaking.

BOSTON MILK.
Largest Surplus ever Recorded-ll Cents the
Butter Price for Milk In June.

The contractors and the executive
officers of the milk producers union met
Tuesday afternoon to fix the butter value
of the surplus milk for the month Of June,
and to look over the figures for the sur
plus.
The month was another record breaker
as regards the amount of receipts, but the
sales were less than in May. The surplus
is the largest in the history of the business,
though the explanation given last month
on this point should be remembered.
The total receipts, sales, and surplus for
the first six months of the year are as fol-
lowe.
