EVERYBODY WANTED 1T.
Enthusiastic Meeting Monday Evening
A New Hospital the Theme.

In response to call for public meet
ing to discuss the matter of a new hospital
Tor Bellows Falls some IS of the leading
citizens OF the place met in Banquet hall
Monday evening. The audience included
several ladies', but those opposed to a hos
pltal, II there be any, were not present.
All were enthusiastically in favor of the
motion. Some think $500 or $4,000
could have been pledged on the spot. If
so the promoters of the project missed a
good opportunity.
DIR. E. S. Allbee called the meeting to
order and called on A. N. Swain to act as
chairman. DR.. j. S. Hill was chosen
secretary. DR.. George H. Gorham gave
statistics regarding the hospitals at Green
field, Keene and Claremont. He esti-
mated the cost of maintaining a hospital
such as is needed in Bellows Falls at
$4,000 to $4,000 annually. Others who
made friendly remarks were DR.. Hill,
Wyman Flint, Rev. c. R. B. Dodge, L.
S. Hayes, c. j. O'Nell, George R. Wales,
P. H. Hadley, F. G Flint, j. o. Spring,
DR.. Campbell, DR.. Kirkland, Rev. j. H.
Reid, N. G. Williams, Rev. F. W. Lewis,
j. E. Keefe, j. G. Day and H. P. Ban
croft.
1t was stated that the railroad comp an
les and the manufacturing concerns would
probably make annual donations Rev.
Mr.. Reid thought the churches would
make an annual collection. Others thong hit
the town would make yearly provision
similar to the library fund. Some thought
if an organization could be projected and
ball set rolling legacies and gifts might be
expected. The meeting was unanim Gus
and hopeful, and good start toward sue
cessful organization seems to have been
made.
The chair was instructed to appoint
committee of five on permanent organiza-
ton. DR.. Campbell, DR.. Kirkland, G. j.
ONeil, F. G. Flint and George R. Wales
were appointed and will report at an ad-
journed meeting in Banquet hall at s P. M.
Monday. All interested are cordially in
vited to be present at that time.

Fact and Fancy.

We notice that COL H. G. French, who
captured the schools here with magic lam
tern show, was obliged to squander little
money for newspaper advertising in Barre.
Probably his scheme of working the
schools for free advertising was blocked.
The Barre Times asks "Did anybody
remember to give Admiral Dewey few
cakes Of maple sugar while he was in YER
month" Why, Of course Gen. Peck looks
after maple sugar courtesies. The item
will appear in bill of sundries to be
approved by the next legislature.
There continues to be considerable COM
ment regarding the value of the present
electric lights as compared with the old
ones. Some say they used to be able to
read by the former lights but are unable to
do SO with the new ones. Others think the
candle power is not as great, and one citi-
zen was heard to remark that he did not
believe that the present lights are over 800
candle power. When asked about the
candle power Superintendent Bottomley
said that the contract with the village cor
poration calls for lights of 1000 candle
power, and that this is the power of the
new lights, being the same as the old ones.
Refectors will soon be placed on all street
lights, and the lamps will be lowered to
within 20 feet of the ground. Mr.. Bot
tomley says that with the old lamps the in
tensest rays struck the ground at an angle
of 45 degrees, while with the lew lamps
the rays come to the ground at an angle of
Is degrees from the horizontal. This
makes it less bright in the immediate vicin-
ity of the lamps, but gives more general
diffusion OF light.
The publisher of the TIMES is highly
gratifed at the many expressions of ap-
proval since the paper was made weekly.
There seems to be general satisfaction both
among advertisers and readers.
1t will be remembered that the Knights
Templar who attended the Dewey celebra-
ton at Montpelier chartered Car for the
use of themselves and friends. On the re-
turn trip this car left Montpelier at 12.4O
midnight and was due into Bellows Falls
about 4 30A. NJ. At Montpelier Junction
the car was attached to a train with
fifteen other cars with the result
that it took two engines to start the
combination peg. The tram plowed into
Mortified with one engine and see-sawed
between that station and Roxbury heights
for some three hours. The calm resigna-
ton which characterized the quarters OF the
Bellows Falls contingent wa, beautiful to
contemplate. The musical snores and be-
coming conversation were in marked con-
trast with the bold figures of speech in
dulged in by the conductor and some of
the other passengers. Reaching home
five hours late did not seem to dampen en-
thusiasm in the least, and all declared that
the admiral is better looking man than
his pictures indicate.

F.ank L. coombs' View of Duckworth.
SACRAMENTO, Cal. Jan. ?, 1899

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 2, 1899.
 To THE EDITOR OF THE EXAMINER:
 You ask for an interview concern ing DuckwOrth. 1 have but little to say. I prefer not to say anything, and give this only because silence might be misconstrued. Two years ago l tried to expel DuckwOrth, not because thought he made mistake, but be- cause 1 thought he was corrupt. l failed in putting him out. My only regret is that failed. His friendship I thought meant shame. His enmity I knew was menace. 1 had my choice between the two. l preferred to meet the danger rather than to submit to the degradation.
 Signed FRANK l.. CooMBs.
 In connection with the above THE OASIS wishes to state that some time ago the attention of the confiding people of Nogaes was called to the above named "Mestizo" by the print ing of copy of dodger which ap- peared upon the street, and which the Vidette under pressure denied pub fishing, and which Dnckworth said that THE OASIS must deny, or the editor stand the consequences. In the following issue of THE OASIS, the article, with Duckworth's threat, ap- peared. Perhaps long suffering community has never before been asked totake up with such scoundrel and liar, as the above mentioned maladorous individual. We notice in one of the California papers where he says he was deputy collector of GUS toms" at Nogales during his absence from Californian, while on the con trary he was a sort of clerk or super numerary while here. He also while here represented himself to be a de- putty Chinese inspector, and while in that position succeeded in wheedling several Chinamen out otsyarious small amounts of money. For instance, he borrowed s35 from Suey Sing, who at present is chief caterer at the Dewey Club. Incidentally, he beat hls board bill at the above mentioned club, when it was known as the 'Larks Club" He also left several members of the club to mourn-not his loss but the loss of the money when heleft and left them in the lurch. Just how people can take up with such foreign cattle when there is plenty of good timber close at hand, is more than we can account for.

The March of Improvement.

To keep pace with the march of im- provement everywhere so evident in Nogales, Mir. J. L. Stam baugh, the undertaken, has this week imported from the east an elegant and costly hearse with all the latest appliances for starting out on their long journey with tender care and attention those in the vicinity of Nogales who "shuffle off this mortal coil" and depart s'for that undiscovered country whence no mortal ever returns Without making light of grave subject THE OASIS suggests that MT. Stambaugh is about in the same situation as the man who asked the preacher if it was right and proper to pray for success in business. Upon receiving an af- firmatiye reply he asked "how about the undertaking business?" After a moments deliberation the preacher said that while it would be hardly right to pray for people to die, yet when they did die he could consist ently pray that they should come his way" So, now, with his new hearse and other appliances for performing
 with all due decorum the last sad service to the dead, MT. Stambaugh is well prepared to meet the answer to prayer of that kind-"of which please take due notice and govern yourself accordingly"
