In the last two years there has been
a decrease in the number of stable fires
in New York city, and an even larger
pro%portionate decrease in the pecuni-
airy losses resulting therefrom. This is
due in part at least to the law which
regulates the storage of hay, feed and
straw. By this law steps must be taken
to make the building more or less fire.

straw may be stored in any tenement
house. OF baled hay, a quantity not ex-
ceeding 25 bales, and of baled straw,
not exceeding Is bales, may be stored,
but no more. No feed, hay or straw
may be kept under any stairs in any

must be protected by wire cloth globes
or cylinders or lanterns. No smoking
is to be allowed. All stoves must be
protected by a sheet or zinc or iron I'M

Hon. Henry c. Bates.

Hon. Henry c. Bates, our candidate
for Acknowledgements, was born IN
Derby, Jan, 20, 1s43. He received his
education at Derby Academy, read law
at Charleston and Derby and wasadmit-
ted to the Orleans county bar in 1866
and to the Coos county bar in 1868.
He lived in Guildhall four years prior to
his removal to St. Johnsbury in 1878,
where he had been superintendent OF
schools. His public career commenced
in St. Johnsburv in 1880 when he was
states attorney for four years. lie was
county senator for two terms from 1886
to 1890 and each term was honored by
being elected president pro tenn OF the
senate. a position he filled with great
ability and satisfaction to his colleagues.
He served on some OF the most impor-
tant committees and made himself gener.
ally useful to the community and the
state. In 1896 he represented st. Johns
bury in the house, being regarded as one
Of the strongest members of that body
and taking an active part in all its lead
ing measures. He was also a preslden-
tial elector in 1896 and with the rest
OF his colleagues from the Green Noun
tain state proudly cast his vote direct
for William Mckinley for president OF
the United States. He served one year
in the United States army, enlisting in
Company c, Fourth Massachusetts
Heavy Artillery. On March 10, 1866 he
was married to Miss Laura E. J%enness
Of Morgan. They have one child, ].
Dickerman Bates, who is now in the
customs service in Island Pond.
From this brief sketch of our fellow
townsman it will be seen that he is per-
fectly well acquainted with public service,
and it might be added that on any occa-
sion in his own town he has proved him
self a ready and eloquent speaker, an
able presiding officer and an all round
public servant.

LYNDONVILLE.
"Ruds nj Promise" Entertainment.

Anew of Lyndonville's Buds OF Prom
Use" held a %children's festival at the BAN
ouet hall in the bank building on Satur-
day afternoon last. 1t wasa pleasing
little affair, gotten up by girls from five
to ten years of age. and to say all did
finely is to give the little actors but a
modicum of praise. We shall expect to
hear more from these binds" later on.
A select audience OF mothers and friends
was in attendance to encouraged the ANA.
teurs and enjoy the exercises. Refresh
ments were served at the close of the en-
tertaiument. The following is the pro-

The light Of other days.
At the special town meeting last Sat-
urday afternoon about 1925 voters were
present. H. L. Parker was elected lister
in place OF O. G. Chase, who was elected
at the annual town meeting and refused
to serve. Mr.. Parker was elected by
a vote OF SO to 80 over Joshua Bemis.
The whist and billiard tournament at
the Lyndon club is attracting a good
deal OF interest. In the billiard contest
SIS u OF the 100 games have been
played and MI. Morrison's side is 200
points ahead of Mr.. Pages side. In the
whist tournament TIE two sides. cap
tanned by E. M. Campbell and G. M.
Campbell, respectively, are pretty close
together.
E. M. Campbell went up to Sutton
Monday to visit the sugar camp at his
old home.
Sunday was quite a day for sugar
parties. There was a large party at
Silas H%oughton's camp and another one
at Ruggles Brothers place in the north
part OF the town.
E. ]. Blodgett has sold 81 wheels this
season. S. Stern, DR.. F. E. Dwinell and
H. l.. Parker are also selling wheels.
1t is difficult to realize the immense
business done by the Dairy Association.
Their biggest shipment of goods in one
day was 40 cases, and for the last three
months their shipments have averaged
60 cases a day. AS each cast represents
ae least So. their sales are therefore
around $500 a day. There has been
some talk of moving this plant to Mass
achusetts, where the company would be
nearer their market, and it this was
done a city in the middle west would be
selected tor a distributing point. Every
one would hate to see this thriving cor
poration change its location as it was
started by Lyndon boys and the stock i:
all owned by young men in this town.

instead OF giving a series Of well-prac-
ticed tricks, gave them regular class
work in dumb-bell drill, pole vaulting
and diving, horse drill and basket ball
practice, still their work was almost
perfect.
Perhaps it is not generally known that
there is a class OF thirty Union school
girls. meeting twice a week. This class
was started so late in the season that,
unless the drill is continued in the homes,
the results will not be very manifest.
The careful observer needs only to glance
over the various classes to see that this

work. This class was visited last Satur-
day at 2 p. m. by several of the ladies of

tory, has been offered the chair of pro-
lessor of astro-physics in the University

The Objection to stage Coaches.

In 1862 there were, strange as it
seems, only six stage coaches running
in al England, and of course these were
only public vehicles for travellers. Even
these were a novelty, and n person
named John Crosset thought they were
such a dangerous innovation that he
wrote a pamphlet against them, "These
coaches" he wrote, make gentlemen
come to London upon every small oc-
casion, which otherwise they would not
40 except upon urgent necessity. Nay,
the c%onveniency of the passage makes
their wives come often up, who rather
than come such long journeys on horse
back would stay at home. Then when
they come to town they must be in the
wade, get fine clothes, go to plays and
treats, and by these means get such n
habit of idleness and love of pleasure
that they are uneasy after" Even peo-
pie who come to the city on steam cars
are sometimes similarly affected by the
visit, even unto this day.-Philadelphia
