IN SOUTH BARNARD.

The force of the storm was not
entirely exhausted at South Pomfret
and vicinity, and Barnard got some
of it. At South Barnard hail cut
the crops badly and many farmers
are sufferers, Stephen lloar's place
being hit especially hard. The
wind tore the roof from one OF his
buildings, blew down many of his
fruit and maple trees and hail de-
stroyed his crops pretty completely.
"A chimney on Lucian a. Rich
monds house was tipped over and
hail found its way through several
windows at Albert Winslow's.

Foots Creek Debate.

One OF the features OF entertainment
which the people OF Foots creek are en-
joying this winter is their debating So
ciety. The meetings Of the society are
attended by all, big, little, old and young.
For subjects, they do not confne them
selves to dry political or metaphysical
questions, but select questions OF live
interest in every day life. For instance,
recent question was, Resolved, that
good nstured slatternly wife is preferable
to neat scolding wife," The possibili'
ties Of interesting argument in subject
like this are endless, then also the ladies
OF the neighborhood may catch useful
pointers from discussions OF this nature.

Thanksgiving Day Fire.

To one family at least in Grants Pass,
the Thanksgiving day just past will not
be remembers rs one Of pleasure. The
dwelling Of f. +. Grove caught fire about
the middle Of the afternoon with q
strong wind blowing and the demolition
OF the building seemtd certain. The
house was a one story building, plastered
aud neatly finished inside. The fire
started from defective fue and burned
for some time between the ceiling and
the roof before it was discovered. When
the fire WAS discovered. the neighbors
were prompt and vigorous in their
assistance and every article was quickly
removed from the building, The fire
company we're largely in attendance at
tae football game and the heavy gusts
OF wind prevented the alarms being
heard at the grounds. A hose cart was
laboriously dragged TO the scene by
a few hands. After the water was
turned on, the wind and the inability TO
work to advantage hampered the fire.
meu, but hole WAS finally cut into the
roof and the nozzle inserted, when the
tre was soon brought under control.
The lower part OF the building was little
damaged by the fire, but the ceiling and
walls and most of the wood work were
virtually ruined by the water. In dry
weather, the damage would have been
minimized, but at this season OF the year
the dsmpness makes havoc in the dry
lumber. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.

GERMAN KAISER
ENJOYS DEBATE
Takes Part in Discussion
Before Body Of Naval
Engineers.

BERLIN, Nov. 1S-Emperor William
participated in the debate of the Society
of Naval Engineers to- day on the subject
of placing heavy guns on battleships and
its effect upon their construction. His
Majesty referred to the influence Of mill
tary requirements upon the development of
ship construction and artillery, and point
ed out how the aim Of Germany had al
ways been to allow the opinion of the Of
ficers who had to navigate the ships to
have as much weight and influence as
possible on the shipbuilder and con-
Structor
The Emperor, illustrating his contention
that tactical requirements influenced the
construction of ships of war, said the time
of the galleys had seen great develop
ments in the matter of boat fire, and that
the galleys were superior in this respect
to later battleships. He instanced the bat
tie OF Lepanto as the greatest wherein
Juan of Austria had brought his galleys
into action in half-moon formation and
had destroyed the enemy's fleet by the
superiority of their bow fire.
Germany was also the first nation able
to place a captain still on the active list
at the head of the construction bureau.
He believed that the type of vessels now
being launched in German yards repre-
sented the very best needed for the pur-
poses of the country that could be de-
manded from the splendid constructors
and magnificent yards of Germany.
Emperor William concluded his remarks
with the following anecdote:
Some fifteen or twenty years ago my
interest in and my zeal for naval ques-
ficer and request of him an explanation
of the metacenter of vessel. He an
swered that he himself did not exactly
know what this was, and, besides, it was
secret. He could only tell me that If
the metacenter was in the main truck the
vessel would capsiZe."

FRENCH DEPUTY
RAISES A ROW
F'avors Boxing the Ears
Of One of the Repub-
lican Leaders.

PARIS, Nov. 18.-An uproarious Incl
dent occurred to-day in the Chamber of
Deputies during the discussion of the bill
authorizing the loan of 25O, 600, 600 francs in
per cent perpetual rentes to reimburse
the treasury for it's outlay as a result of
the Chinese expedition and to pay in
IDENTITIES to French sufferers in China
M. Hubbard reported that the Budget
Commission proposed to reduce the
amount of the loan to 210,000,000 francs,
because objection was taken to the propo-
S1t1On that France snould advance in
IDENTITIES to the religious associations
and financial enterprises M. Hubbard S
report was extremely anti-clerical.
M. Rfbot, Republican, replied to M.
Hubbard, protesting against the report,
which he declared shameful, Whereupon
M. Berteaux, Socialist, exclaimed that M.
Ribot deserved to have his ears boxed.
At this the Centrists vehemently protest
ed, while the Socialists cheered
Amid the din M. Deschanel, President
of the Chamber, called upon M. Berteaux
to withdraw. This M. BerteauX refused
to do, and renewed outcries and banging
of desks resulted. M Deschanel contin-
ued to ring his bell until the noise was
quieted, when he asked the Chamber to
censure M. Berteaux. This was voted. M.
Rtbot then resumed his reply to M. Hub
bard's report, but the Socialists recon-
menced their noisy opposition, to which
the Centrists responded equally loud, un-
til the uproar became so deafening that
M Deschanel left the chair and the ses-
sion was suspended.
subsequently the session was resumed.
and M. Ribot continued his speech. The
Chamber then adjourned.
