No more interesting innovation in a newspaper
has been made in recent years than the pictorial
section which is now fixed feature Of the Bos
ton Sunday Herald Unlike many attempts
made in the same direction, The Herald varies
the character of the contents each issue in a way

tainly advancing in all the departments which
have made 1t New England's greatest newspaper,

laid special stress. The Herald should not only
win the approval of The Herad's old clientele,
but attract a host of new readers, who seek a few
rays of intellectual sunshine in the gray land

news gathering and editorial management. The
Herald is never dull, but so dignified paper has
not always been as welcome to the masses as 1t
should now become. Those of our readers who

HINSDALE, N. H.
A GIarIng Misstatement Corrected.

Inspector F. S. Bertwhistle, sent bv
the New Hampshire board of underwriters.
mas made report in regard to the town
nan nre which is considered unfair and one
sized and calculated to give the Hinsdale
system OF lire protection "a black eye"
Inc hre department, through its board of
engineers, will doubtless reply to some of
MS erroneous statements in due time. 1t is
sulnclent Just at present to correct one of
them. In the beginning of his report the
inspector says: "The cause of the fire is a
matter of opinion but this much is known
parties in the library say that the room
was very hot and they shut off the heat
(which was hot air. coming into that room,
thus throwing all the heat into the other
register, which was tie one in the hallway,
second floor, and it was in this direction the
explosion or noise was heard and around
this register the fire was discovered and
apparently extinguished with chemicals"
Where did the inspector get this astonish-
ing piece of information, Not from the
board of engineers, but from some totally
irresponsible party or parties who imagined
that the register might have been shut and
Immediately jumped at the conclusion that
it was closed. The librarian, Miss Nellie
Gray, had been specially instructed by the
Janitor never to close the library register
when the heat was turned on to the library
room as it was dangerous, and this day was
no exception though it was very hot in the
room towards evening, and people coming
In asked why the register could not be
closed, and to them she repeated the order
OF the janitor, which she obeyed to the let
ter. 1t is due to an exceedingly careful
and painstaking librarian that this one of
many glaring misstatements of Inspector
Bertwhistle should be corrected in ad vanca
