At half past six Thursday morning
an exploding gasoline stove in the
restaurant of G. Fl. Campbell in
Blanchard block. Barre, started a fire
that, before it was under control,
practically ruined the block, burned
out three business firms, and caused a
loss ofat least $40, 600. In attempting
to subdue the flames when the stove
exploded, Homer Calkins, an en-
ployee in the restaurant kitchen, was
terribly burned about the hands, face
and neck.
Patrick Brown, for several years a
patrolman in the city of Barre and
who eight days ago qualified as chief
of police of that city. was shot three
times and fatally wounded on
Seminary street, Barre, at four
o'clock Thursday morning Chief
Brown was patroling Seminary street
at the hour named when bullet fired
from behind his back, pierced his
right heel. AS he turned, two other
shots, fired at cross range, struck the
officer in the stomach and bowels
Believing he was fatally shot, the
wounded man ran to the nearby resi-
dence of Rev. Father P. NJ. McKenn9,
his spiritual adviser. Assistance was
summoned, and Mr.. Brown was taken
to his home where DR.. w. D. Reid
probed for the bullets. The one in
the heel and one of those in the body
were extracted. A third could not
be reached. DR.. Reid has little hope
of the injured mans recovery. The
men who fred the shots belong to the
Anarchist colony in Barre. Chief
Brown had warrant in his possession
for the arrest Of two of them named
Bernacco and Sassi, for disturbing the
peace at the anarchists ball held Sat-
urday evening. They were aware
that the officer was after them and
laid in wait for him with the deliber-
ate purpose of taking his life. The
two named were arrested shortly
after daylight. They were taken be-.
fore the wounded man who fully
identified them as the men who were
following him. Fearing a fatal end

from Pekin, and on it's face is state

see how the answer to the powers
could get through so quickly. Up TO
the present it has taken three or four
days for a despatch to reach ST Ngan,

was stated that the Joint note, which
was signed Monday would not reach
its destination until Thursday. But
according to the Pekin despatch, the
ultimatum not only has been received
by the emperor, but has been answer

had decided to communicate further
with the court before officially visit

French are said to have captured
five flags, four guns and twenty
caissons and killed many imperial .
troops, though on it's face a serious
affair, is wit hout doubt, like previous
official accounts of fights with the

The failure Of the senate to reach a
vote on the ship subsidy bill before
the holiday recess, has not discourage
ed any OF the supporters OF that meas
ure. No attempt whatever was made
to force vote on the bill, because its
supporters are willing to have it thor
oughly discussed and to join in adopt
ing any amendments which can be
shown to be beneficial to the object
sought-the increase of merchant
ships under the American flag. That
the bill will be passed both by the
house and senate is reasonably certain,
because it is strictly in line with one
of the fundamental principles of the
republican protection to
American interests-and there is a
republican majority in both branches
of congress.

Nansen's Pancakes.

From boyhood Nansen accustomed
himself to the use of snowshoes and
would often go 40 or so miles on them
without taking any food with him. He
had great dislike to any outfit for his
excursions. On one occasion he and
some of his friends set Off on a long
snowshoe expedition. all except Nan
sen having a wallet containing their
provisions on their backs. When they
got to the first resting place, Nansen
unbuttoned his coat and took some
smoking pancakes from che lining and
asked his friends to share his food.
They all refused, however, not caring
for the mode Of conveyance and heat
ing. Nansen replied, "More fools you.

"I look upon bread as an article OF
food destined to be completely abolish
ed before many years." said a New
York doctor, FOR the number OF per
sons who are willingly giving up the
use of II increases every year. The ma
jority OF them do this on the advice Of
their physicians, who find more ground
for recommending abstinence from
bread as they see the results that such
course OF treatment has on their on
tients.

preparation and be taken only In GER
tain forms. The great increase In the
number Of hygienic foods that have
been put upon the market and the al
most invariable success of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta-
BILE substitute for bread and other
starchy foods are other indications in
the change OF the public feeling toward
bread MS a simple food which could be
taken under all circumstances.
"Some years ago man wrote book
devoted chiefly to exposing to the
world the harmful qualities Of brend.
Persons ot that time thought he was n
crank. and little attention was pnid to
his very sound utterances on the sub.
ject. But his opinions are now re-ech.
oed by most physicians, and the great
army of abstniners from bread gathers
recruits every day. The revolt against
such well established Institution Is
naturally n little bit slow. But bread
is destined to be ultimately Stunned
even more than II is today. and this de-
struction OF tradition that has lasted
centuries is already well under way.
Most OF Its force comes from the COM

do give up bread entirely. They are al
