Refused to Shut Cfl Water

Alderman Mcfarland created sensa-
lion at the meeting last night by de-
manding of the Mayor what was meant
by sending some men from the superin-
tendent of waterworks office to turn off
his lawn sprinkler. He asked the Mayor
if the city had given him any rebate and
said that until they had paid for that
water he should object to having it
turned off.
The Mayor turned several coors and
stammered out something about he
guessed the city could turn it off if ii
wanted to The other aldermen looked
lhundcrstruck. After a moment Mr.
Mcfarland commenced to laugh and eX.
planned the joke.
1t appears that two men from Cur

ordered him to shut off his lawn sprink

Board Of Aldermen.

| The board of Aldermen met last nicht
in regular session with all members
present.
Everybody anxiously awaited the
Mayor to learn the result of the iniunc-
ton. hearing Mr.. Gordon reported
that no decision had been reached, and
under the circumstances did not think it
best to 20 on with the work at East
Barre. A question of personality is
being argued.
The landowners would agree to a
temporary connection if the city would
not use any of the water for manufac-
turing purposes. The aldermen did not
seem favorable to- the proposition.
Mayor suggested that majority of the
council 60 to East Barre each day till Il
decision is reached, in order to keep the

Library Association whose books are in
the same room has always paid form 80
cts. to 81. a year for that purpose.
Mr.. Smith suggested that the best
thing to do would be to have the rental

Mr.. Patterson wished the city could
turn the dog tax books over to the as
sociation, but was informed ihat it was
impossible. The library committee
have reported in favor of paying the
librarian 500. year, and do not seem
inclined to change this recommendation
1t is to lie hoped that some under stand

WHAT BURLINGTON
SAYS ABOUT
Two Little Migrants

The theatrical season oflS99- 9-19OOwas
opened at the Howard Opera House last
evening with a performance of :. Two
Little Migrants" which easily rank as
one of the strongest melodramas of re-
cent years. The play has been adopted
for the American stage by Charles Klein
from "Les Deux Gosses," by Pierre De-
courcelle. The scenes are laid in and
near Paris and the company carries some
appropriate stage settings. The story is
one of unusual interest in which the
four strong human passions of love, jeal-
ousy revengeand remorse are predomin-
ant, and when told by such an excellent
company as MIR. Edward G. White has
collected it is certain to hold the close
attention of an audience. From tho first
entertainment of the season. Mrs.
Walker. who assumed the manayement
of the opera house last May, had an
audience which nearly filled the build
ing, in spite of the high temperature
which does not usually induce people
to seek indoor entertainment.
AS was intimated, the play was en-
trusted to an excellent company. The
star of the evening, Miss Mildred Hol-
land, as "Fan Fam one of the two
vagrants, scored a greaI success Iy the
natural, unaffected manner in which
she Interpreted her role. \ clos" sec
ond' was Miss Bcnyit Harrison rs
Claude, the other vagrant, who seemed
equally at home in the character. Del
La Barre played the part of "La Re-
maud" Uhe foxy TO perfection and Miss
Anna Bodden as Zephyrine, his wife,
gave Il very flushed lmpersonaton of
the character. Others deserving espec-
ial mention were Arthur Cogliser as
George D'Armont and Miss Barbara
Douglas as Helene, his wife. The re-
nainder of the large cast contributed
not Il little in Il general way to the sue
cess of the entertainment.
The company goes to Barre this
morning and will open the new opera
house there this evening.-Free Press.

RUMORS OF A CONFERENCE on GAS RATES
BOARDS OF DIRECTORS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO
END THE COSTLY WAR

BOARDS OF DIRECTORS HAVE BEEN ASKED TO
END THE COSTLY WAR.
The impression is gaining strength in Wall Street
that some means of speedily ending the gas war
will be devised. Some OF the large holders OF the
stocks and bonds Of the various companies re-
ported to have expressed plainly to their boards OF
directors their desire that the costly rate cutting
shall cease. and there are rumors that a confer
ence will be held next week by representatives Of
the contending corporations. Not much is expect
ed from the move mentioned by Russell Sage as
in preparation-that of appeal by gas company
stockholders to the courts to compel the directors
to restore rates
One OF the large stockholders OF the Consolidated
Gas Company was quoted yesterday saying: Il
have the best kind of information that this whole
gas war was evidently brought about by certain
people to accomplish purposes of acquisition-possi-
seems 10 be plain to that one of the sole OBJ
jects Is TO force the w-Amsterdam company into
a position where II be bought at the price
which some of the Consolidated Gas interests are
willing 10 pay for It. There Is also. perhaps feel
Ing against Mr.. Sage, because he would not sell
the standard Gas Company except his price.
There Is no hope Of getting the price of gas back to
Its old rate. and therefore the stockholders have
suffered an irretrieva BILE loss"
The Consolidated Gas Company has made a con-
tract with the Manhattan Club for nine months at
81 cents thousand cubic feet with the privilege OF
renewal for another nine months at not more than
s. cents.
