The Fire Monday Morning.
Large DRpOge Caused by II Needless
Deluge of water.

Deluge of water.
There was an alarm of fire Monday morn
ing at 2.20 from box No 30 at the Island
House for a slight blaze under the counter
in the depot restaurant. 1t was probably
a case of rats and matches, as there was IA
quantity of matches where the fire started,
and no one had been to the cupboard for
some hours. There was large amount of
smoke but no blaze came outside the cup
board, and no results show today except
thoroughly wet down building, and hun
dreds of dollars, damage to furniture and
supplies of Mr.. Aldrich of the restaurant.
Alfred Brunette of the chemical company
was one of the first on the scene and his APP
paratus was being used with excellent re
suits, evidently everything which was need
ed, when the Abenauqui and Bridgeman
hose companies came, the pipemen bring
ing their hose in at both doors Mr.. Bur-
nette explained to them that no water was
needed, but they ordered him to get out of
the way and opened both streams with dis
astrous results.
There is is strict rule issued by Chief
Engineer l.. j. Royce that no pipeman
shall open a stream when he can only see
smoke. He must see fire or he will be held
personally responsible. This seems a case
of important responsibility in this respect
The chief engineer did not reach the
scene early, owing to the person who had
rung in the alarm having left the box and
it was some distance from the fire. When
the chief reached the box no one was there
to tell where the fire was and valuable time
was lost
Important new rules were made by the
chief last March, soon after he received
his appointment, and given to the fire war
dens to have printed, but it has not yet
been done. These would have covered the
points of unnecessary use of water, as in
this case, fully
The smoke was discovered by the night
baggage master, who went first to box 81
at the corner of Towns hotel That box
was found to be out of order and could not
be used, so time was lost in getting over to
the Island House box
The smoke was so dense in the first story
that number of the girls who were sleep
ing in the second story of the building had
to be taken down on ladders from the out.
side The contents of the ticket office, and
part of Mr.. Aldrich's furniture from the
second story were removed His largest
damage is to the provisions and supplies in
the kitchen and store rooms in the base
ment, hundreds of barrels of water having
found its way down through the floors.

The exercises of commencement week OF
the high school began Sunday night when,
despite the hard storm, a fairly large audi
ence gathered in the opera house to listen
to the address of Principal Crawford upon
"Some Elements of Training This ad-
dress took the place of the usual bacca-
laureate sermon of former years, the last
years address being the first departure
from the established custom.
The opera house stage was tastefully
decorated with potted flowers and ferns,
and presented a pretty picture. On it was
seated the senior class, the speaker, and
other High school teachers, II. d. Ryder,
who acted as chairman of the tvening, and
Rev. +. E. Marggraf, who acted as chap
lain. The remainder Of the High school,
and the Ninth grade scholars, were seated
in reserved seats in the body OF the house.
Miss Emma Winnewisser acted as pianist,
the school and audience joining In singing
the Battle Hymn of the Republic. The
school came in from the rear of the stage,
under the direction of Marshal Seah llar-
riman and aids, and those who were seated
in the body of the house came down from
the stage over improvised stairways max
ing fine appearance.
Mr.. Ryder introduced the chaplain, who
read from the eighth chapter of Deuteron-
omy and offered prayer. following which
Principal Crawford was introduced and de-
livered an able address which was closely
followed. The speaker drove home many
nails of sound sense, and in a forcible
manner made plea for diligence in study
as well as in all the business of life. 1t is
by diligence that we overcome obstacles
and learn to love duties which were irk-
some. A chief value of athletics in school
is that they teach the pupils to overcome
obstacles. The same is true of all mental
and moral tr ming.
Teach the boy noble asceticism the
speaker said, and lastly high ideal of the
benefits and estimation of the principle OF
pennance in standing by the results OF
ones own actions. The address closed
with few earnest words to the class of '9S,
telling them that the meaning OF this
graduation was all summed up to them in
the one word, Service
