Death of William P. Williams,

William P. Williams, president of the
Vermont Farm Machine company, was
thrown from his carriage last Thurs
day by colliding with trolley car on Gar
den street in the city OF Hartford, Coma,
where he resided, which resulted in bis
death Sunday evening. He was uncOn-
scious when taken up and never regained
consciousness. He was universally re-
spected throughout his own community, as
well as in Bellows Falls He has been
deacon of the Pearl Street Congregational
church for about quarter OF century,
was chairman of the church society COM
mittee and chairman of the church building
committee. The church and society are
building new edifice with Sunday school
rooms and parsonage, costing about
$150,00O.
As reported in the Hartford Daily Cou-
rant, the accident happened as MIR. VIII
Hams was returning from down town after
making some purchases for the American
School for the Deaf, of which institution he
was steward. The car was coming down a
grade. The motorman rang his bell as be
approached the wagon and the sound
seemed to arouse Mr. Williams who took
tighter hold on the reins. The next instant
the wagon swung squarely across the tracks
and there was a crash.
The funeral yesterday afternoon was at
tended by N. G.. Williams and the Ma
chine company's plant was shut down dur
ing the afternoon.

LONDON'S DOCKS.
They Cover 1000 A ores aud Have Twenty
Miles of Quay.

Miles of Quay.
The London docks cover an area of
about 1000 acres, with upward Of
twenty miles of quay for discharging
ships and more than 100000 square
feet for storage purposes. All this is
under the guardian care of the London
and India docks joint committee, which
in its present amalgamated form, has
existed since 1888. This dock company
however, it should be understood, does
not itself trade; it exists to facilitate
the negotiations of those who do, by
keeping the quays, docks and ware
houses in proper condition, for which
advantages merchants and shippers
are charged certain rentals. The Lon
don docks were opened in 1905 and
the st. katherine docks in 1925.
To begin with the wool warehouse,
1t is estimated that about S100,000,000
worth of wool arrives annually in
London alone. But the shorn locks
of sheep, till converted into fashionable
cloth, battle the description OF the
uninitiated, and we pass on to survey
the drugs" a term which here in
cludes many things not usually adj
mitted to the British pharmacopeia."
To traverse the drug" floor alone
means walk of a quarter of a mile.
So many and various are the things
stored in this warehouse that a mu-
scum of specimens has been fitted up
for the convenience of merchants and
visitors. Opium, agrimony, hmachis:
kola nuts and cocoa leaves are shown;
also cochineal beetles flor dyeing) the
tiny beetles having been scraped off
the leaves of trees into bags and dip
ped into boiling water; coffee, straw
plaits from Japan, charcoaled bones for
sugar refining, ebony, malacca and
snakewood sticks: sticklac, a resinous
substance formed on trees by insects
and used not only in dyeing, but to
fasten silk on high hats.
Besides these you will be sure to be
shown three grewsome objects, long

MIR. Mitchell Talks of the Circus.

J. C. Mitchell, acting press agent with
the Walter l.. Main circus, was seen by a
representative of the TIMES and courteous
ly entertained during portion of Monday
afternoon. In answer to questions he
said:
"Our circus carries 2S0 horses and $50
people; we require % 60-foot cars for
transportation. Our daily expenses are
$1,000 to $500. The Eddy family Of
acrobats received $3.50 per week and ex-
penses, and the clown mule rider gets S75
and expenses.
This is our third and last week in Yer
mont; we go from here to Middlebury,
Rutland and Bennington and then into
New York. Previous to coming into Yer
mont we were in Canada for nine weeks,
and did splendid business. The Barnum
and Bailey circus is now in Europe and
the only large circuses in this country are.

Upon recommendation of the chief
surgeon, an order has been issued by
the assistant adjutant general, Unit
ed States forces, to the effect that all
members of regimental bands will be
instructed in hospital drill, and as
much of first aid to the injured as is
practicable under existing circum-
stances. To this end, writes DR.. Hen
ry I. Raymond of the United States
Army, in the Medical News, all musi-
clans will hereafter report to medical
officer attached to the regiment to
which the band belongs for one hour
each day for instructions until they
are pronounced qualified bearers by
the medical officer who instructs them.
This arrangement will add largely to
the numerical force and efficiency of
first aid bearers upon the battlefield.
Men will be needed who know how to
handle wounded man so as to place
him with care and expedition upon a
litter and transport him smoothly and
without jolt to the first dressing sta
tion or to the ambulance. Practically,
therefore, the instruction that band
members are receiving consists of ex-
ercises in the manual of the litter
viz, marching with the litter, as lit
ter squads composing a detachment SO
as to mobolize at a given point; search,
ing for the wounded by scattering the
several squads under charge of their
respective squad leaders; the proper
loading of the filters, with the wound
ed, and their easy convoy to some
designated spot, and the placing OF
loaded filters in ambulances.

but They Have Been squasdsred-Peo-
pie Are ExtravaEAnt.

At one time no doubt Spain was the
Richest country In Europe Within q
few years after the conquest OF Amer
lea more than a billion Of dollars was
carried back TO Spain, and as long as
colonies have been maintained In this
hemisphere there has been a stream OF
gold flowing that way into both pub
lie and private Golfers. Under the orig
inal colonial laws the king got one
fifth and the church one-fifth OF every
thing that came from America, but the
three-fifths that remained were suffi-
cient TO make some OF the largest for
tunes in the world. Evidences Of this
great wealth are still found In every
part Of Spain, In the enormous and
costly castles, In the palaces Of Seville,
Granada, Valencia, Barcelona. Madrid,
Salamanca, Cadiz and other cities. But
the money has been wasted In luxury,
gambling, bad investments and In try
ing to compete with modern progress
in agriculture and other industries by
the use of antiquated methods and
machinery.
Spain resembles ireland in many re-
spects and Russia In more. The terri
tory Is divided into vast estates, which
are cultivated to a certain measure by
the owners, and the remainder leased
to tenants. There are also large
ranches and factories of various kinds
which formerly belonged to private in
dividuals, members of the nobility and
aristOcracy, but the soil has been worn
out by centuries of cultivation and Is
no longer profitable without the use Of
expensive manures and modern ma
chinery. The herds Of cattle have be-
come depleted both in numbers and In
breed, although In some parts OF Spain
you can still find the best cattle and
horses in Europe and the best mules
in the world. The factories have gen
orally passed from the hands Of indi
yiduals who inherited them into the
control of corporations, the buildings
on the estates are badly out Of repair,
the castles are in ruins and tenements
are worse than those Of Russia or Ire
land.
The wealth OF the people has been
Slapped by taxation and their own ex-
travagance, and the money OF the
many has been absorbed by a few cap
italists who are enormously wealthy
and hold mortgages upon the estates
of their less prudent neighbOrs. Brib-
cry and corruption in public life is the
rule, rather than the exception, and
when a favorite of the prime minister
is sent out to fill an official position In
one Of the colonies II Is expected that
he will come back rich. Money that
comes easily goes easily in Spain, as
well as everywhere else, and these for
tunes acquired by blackmail or official
speculation have rapidly been wasted
in high living, gambling and specula-
ton
