Senator Ross,s speech.

The best point in the Philippine speech
of Senator Ross of Vermont was his APP
peal ito remove all civil appointments in
the islands from the realm of politics."
1.-THE nation will utterly fail in the dis
charge of its duty" he said, ''if the islands
are made political footballs. The admins
tration of the sovereignty must be lntelli-
gent, honest and uninterrupted. There are
honest, capable men in every political
party. These should be sought out and
given places in the administration of
this sovereignty. Difficult as is the ad-
ministration of this sovereignty, II honestly
and intelligently undertaken such admins
tration will be beneficial both to the peo-
pie Of this nation and TO the inhabitants of
the islands. Difficulties which have come,
as these have, unsought, honestly and
faithfully encountered bring wisdom and
strength" This is the true New Eng
land sense and the New England hopeful

They Occurred within Few Minutes
OF Each other, and Were Caused by
Electric wIres---LOss $4,000
Three fires broke out almost simultan-
eously in the business portion OF Rutland
about 3 Friday morning, all of which are
thought to have started from electric light
wires. The first fire was discovered in
Clark g. Matthews bicycle repair shop on
West street by. Policeman Ellworth at 2.0O,
The blaze was put out before much damage
was done.
The fremen were just returning to their
quarters when another alarm was rung IN
for fire in the rear of A. ii. Colvin's dry
goods store at the corner of Merchants
row and West street. Before the tiremen
reached the scene the flames had got fairly
well under way, but the fire was got under
control after having burned out the IN
terror of a store room.
While the fire department was fighting
the flames in the Oolvin store the interior
of the factory of William Metzger q Sons,
manufacturers Of tents and awnings, on
Evelyn street, was discovered to be burn
ing fercelv. Several pieces of apparatus
were sent to this new fire, but before they
arrived the flames were bursting from the

building was burned out in spite of the
efforts Of the firemen, who we're only able
to save the adjoining buildings after a
hard struggle. Two of the fremen were
slightly injured by being, struck byI,falling
slate from the roof.
. The loss at the, Clark & Matthews bicycle
shop was about $100;s covered by insur-
ance. The loss at A. H. Colvin's was esti-
mated at $780, covered by insurance.
The loss at Metzger & Sons was as follows;
William Metzger & Sons, machinery and
stock, $4,000; L. G.. Kingsley, loss on build
ing, $500; L. G. Kingsley, loss on furni'
ture stored in upper part of building

crossing of electric wires which sent cur

The Boston Journals Famous Half
Tone War Illustrations.

In no way can the scenes and events OF
the war in South Africa be brought out
more wildly and more intelligently than in
the splendid half-tone illustrations which
the Boston Journal Is using daily. They
are direct reproductions of photographs of
accurate and artistic drawings, and the
half-tone process presents them in all
their life and spirit. The Boston Journal
has always been famous as great
war newspaper" in the sense of giving
the best, most comprehensive and most
readable news reports. This reputation
the Journal is surely maintaining during
this present war.
The Journal, however, by no means con-
fines its illustrations to war news. Por-
traits Of New England people Of promi-
hence and scenes Of timely interest are
brought out best by the Journals half.

The Mechanical, Chemical and MedIcI-
nal Appetite.

The annual report of the Rutland city
liquor agency appears in another column
in this issue. 1t seems that the mechani-
cal, chemical and medicinal propensities of
the people require the spending of $50
day the year through for liquor This
liquor is disposed of at exceedingly moder-
ate prices. A gallon of whiskey sells at
$1.1O, and at times during the year three
bottles of lager have been retailed for %
cents. So that the bulk of intoxicating
beverages, and that is what it really
amounts to, is very large as is indicated by
the agency sales.
Our city agency presents study in hui
man nature. 1t is no unusual thing to see
ten or dozen persons, many of them
women, waiting their turn at Mr.. Woods
desk. The mechanical, chen ical and
medicinal appetite of this community is
thoroughly developed and in good working

The Dramatic .Seoson.

Critics who have complained for
years that theatrical managers never
gave native playwrights a chance
ought to be satisfied at last. Judging
from preliminary announcements and
from the first productions OF new
plays already given the stage Is to be
almost monopolized during the coming
season by American made dramas.
Practically every one OF the novels by
American writers which was success
full during the last year has been DRAM
atized and awaits production by a
star Of greater or less magnitude. The
result OF the season from box-officc
standpoint should be fair test OF the
drawing power OF homemade dramas.
II majority OF tho new plays are
financially successful hereafter the
United States will be independent of
the effcte monarchies OF Europe H. a
dramatic way. as 1t has recently be-
come in SO many other directions.
Before long we may have England,
Germany and France sending over to
this country for dramas and farces as
they now send for canned beef and
