AN lNCENDlARY IN BENNINGTON.
Large Barn of w. T.. blanchard Destroy e.
Fire Set in Two Places

Bennington. Sept 1.-THE second fire to
call out the firemen within week came
about four o'clock this morning when the
large barns of the late w. T.. Blanchard
we're discovered to be on fire. The main
barn was forty by forty feet with a base
ment and a wing 40XG0 In the main part
Wer stored a lot of furniture belonging to
w. i. Hawks, jr., who occupies the house,
40 tons of hay, 40 bushels of oats harness,
wagons % bushels of corn and many small
tools. The wing contained moving ma
chiEery furniture, sleighs and other arti-
Cles used on farm. In the basement
were some pigs, chickens and farms uten-
Sis. The pigs, a lumber box wagon and
a carriage, We're all that was saved.
The barn was only about twenty feet
from the house but the wind blowing in an
opposite direction saved it. Large cindcrs
were carried quarter of mile. The to-
tai loss Will be about $4,000 with only par
tial insurance on the barn. The fire de-
partment was out but at it was about
3OOO feet from the nearest hylrant to the
fire it could do nothing. Appearances
would indicate that the fire was set in
two places.

THE INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS.
Heavy Figures for August to be Surpass-
ed This Observation-Disclosures of Races.

The Immigration officials at New York
are prepared fos' an extraordinary week $
work 1t is roughly estimated, on the
basis of incomplete cable notifications,
that the 16 transatlantic steamships just
arrived or due before Sunday have on
board 5000 steerage passengers Many Of
these persons are citizens returning, but
the great majority are immigrants, says
the New York Evening Post. 1t is probable
that there are not more than lC00 citizens.
From September to September Z, inclu-
sive, CO.'S men, women and children just
arrived in this couHtry were passed
through the barge office. As the season
draws on, the number will increase, from
week to week. until the winter sets in.
The total Immigration of the season will
fac exceed that of the same season of any
year since the present commissioners took
office.
Notification was received Tuesday morn
ing that the new Oceanic had or board
7s0 steerage passengers. The percent
age of citizens will be larger on this YES
sci than on any of the others, because

morning by Acting Commissioner Quinlan
that nearly as many Italians went home
in the fall as came out in the spring. The
men arrive in May, bringing with them

THE WINTERS SUPPLY.

We are now approaching the season of
the year when the head of the family
oonSults with his good wife as to the sup
ply to be laid in for winter use. Under
wise management this is the proper thing
10 do, but the wisdom or foolishncss of it
depends largely ON whether the conditions
will Justify the action. There is no wisdom
in buying, for instance, winters supply
of apples potatoes, etc, if the cellar IS
not such as to keep them intact from cold
and wet. or if the fruit and vegetables are
sure to decay before they can be utilized.
But if you have "A good cellar you should
lay i'm a winters stock, and desire TO
suggest some additions to the usual list;
as have found from observation II eN-
lists in most American households.
Potatoes, apples ana onions are all right
and should. of course, be included but
they are not all the vegetables desirable.
in few eastern larders have noted a sup
ply of carrots Ask the housewife why is
this so and the answer will come. "Why,
we never put in carrots" And why not,
pray? Next to the onion the carrot is the
friend of the cook No stew or soup can
be- properly made without this vegetable,
and nearly all ragouts and dishes using
up the leftovers require carrots to ensure
good results Carrots are easily kept, are

Thanks to the People of

HONORS FROM HOME BEST
Given Him Their Votes Has Never

Opportunity From the People.

Portland, Me, Sept. 1.-THE Press will

To the Republicans of the First Maine
District:
While I am naturally reluctant to oh
trude myself again upon pu1ltc attention
even here at home | am sure 10 one would
expect me to leave the first Maine dis
trict after so long a service without some
words expressing to you my appreciation
of your friendship and my gratitude for
your generous treatment. Words alone
are quite inadequate and | must aIpea
to your memories. During three and
Wenty years of political hfc. not always
peaceful. you have never questioned n
sing public act of mine. Other men have
had to look after their districts. My dis
trict has looked after me. This, in the
place where i was born, where YOU know
my shortcomings, as well | do myself,
gives me "a right to be proud Of my rela-
tiCns with you. No honors are ever quito
like those which come from home. 1t
would not be just for me to withhold my
thanks from those democrats who have so
often given me their votes. This friend
ship can acknowledge with all propriety,
even in a letter to republicans, for both
they and you know that ! have never
trimmed a sail to catch the passing breeze
or ever flown a doubtful flag.
office, as "a ribbon to stick in your
coat" is worth nobodys consideration.
Office as opportunity is worth all consider

That opportunity you have given me un-
tiammeled in the fullest and amplest
measure and return you sinCerest thanks
Ii | have deserved any praise it belongs
of right to you.
Whatever may happen, l am sure that
the first Maine district will always be
true to the principles of liberty, self-sov-
crnmcnt and the rights of man.
