The third store to be put in where the
dining no ON now is had not been rented
yesterday, although Rutland clothing
house and several local merchants were
doing some tall bidding.
The second floor will be finished of into
doz IN or fifteen offices and the two top
floors will be rented to roomers aud will be
kept open and heated during the winter.
Fred j. Bliss of Hartford, Conn, the con-
tractor who rebuilt the hotel after the fire,
will make the changes, which will cost,
according to report, $4,000 or $4,000.
The closing OF Towns hotel a, a hotel
has caused much adverse criticism and
comment, and the opinion is pretty unani-
nous that the move is severe blow to the
business interests OF B lows Falls. The
hotel facilities are now inadequate to the
demands OF a village of this size. The
Commercial House is now filled with board
ers a1d is in no shape to make bid tor
transient business. The Rockingham is
well equipped to accommodate as far as it
can. 1t has about As beds and can &C
commodate a COOL number of people
by renting rooms outside. 1t will be
impossible, however, to entertain organ
iza,ion, bingiug large numbers of
visitors to Bellows Falls. This is one side
of the story.
The Other side throws different light
on the situation. The annual rent charged
on the hotel has been fr I'M $4,000 to S2500.
The new p oprietor raised the amount to
$4,000, The daily expense of running is
between $50 and $50. It would be bold
man who would assume these obligations
exp citing to keep bi, head above water.
The new proprietor is not a citizen of this
town, and it is only natural that his only
care is to MAXI a. good per cent on his
investment as he can. Owing to the fine
location the proposed changes will make
good renting property, but the benefits
which will accrue to the community are not
appa cent. One or two new stores will be
added to community which already has
all the stores that can be made to pay. If
the new offices are occupied it will be at
the expense of etter property owners. If
the lower floor of the hotel was to be con-
v,r ed into store, and the three upper
stories were to be retained for hotel pur-
pos s, the change would meet with very
general appreciation; but we understand
nothing of the kind is contemplated. Mr..
Ullery was evidently bound not to have
hotel on his hands, when he raised the rent
to $4,000, an amount absolutely prohioi-
tive.
Mr.. Ullvry has the property and will get
good interest on his investment il he can
that is his privilege The community can
XII k, and that is their privilege. Enter
pris ng local capital could have purchased
the property had it care to and 1ua it as
an eletmosynary il st tnlion, but the bidders
were not numerous or the bidding brisk.

Every Year.

To the past 60 more dead faces
Every year;
AS the loved leave vacant places
Every year;
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
Ia the coming dusk they greet us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell us
Every year;
You are more alone" they tell us
Every year;
"You can win no new afft ion,
You have only recnl'e ction,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year.
Yes! The shores f Life are shifting
Every year;
And we are seward drt ing,
Every year;
Old places charging ct us,
The living more forget us,
There are f9wer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life draws higher,
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher,
Every year;
Earth's hold on us grows slighter,
And the heavy burdens lighter,
And the Dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

interest in the purchase and Mr.. Ullery is
now sole proprietor. He took formal pcs
session of the property January 1, and
celebrated the event by closing the doors
to the travelling public. We are ii formed
that Mr.. Ullery's purpose is to convert the
first floor into three stores. The south
third, now occupied by the reading room
and barber shop, will be rented by the Bel
lows Falls Trust company, provided the
company is organized.
The store to be put in where the office
now is has been rented by the New York
Racket. The lease OF the building where
the Racket now is has been sold to the
W. L. Goodnow company of Keene, who
will put in stock OF boots and shoes and
clothing as soon as Winnewisser & Conway
can get into their n ew store, prob ably in
two months.

THH CLOTHES MOTH.

We may marvel at grubs growing fat and succu1ent upon such unpromis- ing fare as old timber affords, but that achievement is improved upon by the insects that prefer to draw their entire nutrition from woolen fabrics, fur. horsehair, feathers. tanned leather and the like. and apparently without ever a desire to ''wet their whistles by anything of a juicy nature. Any small. siIyerv~raoth that is seen fitting about the house is> regarded as clothes motho but eyerS one killed is not m enemy, for there are number of moths of similar size esfrnd srIn.d appearance that come from outdoors and. have been occupied as grubs in destroySnng z green leaves. 1t is a common error fo suppose that 1t is the clothes moth that does the mischief. though by de- stroying the moth we prevent the lay- ing of ,innumerable eggs from which come the consuming larvae, whose cut ting jaws would be actively and in- cessantly employed in mutilating choice fabrics and valuable ftlrs. These caterpillers are rarely seen by the housewife, because their first care on. leaving the egg is to disguise or hide themselves.
 The clothes moth proper has yellow ish7gray wings, with three or four in- definite brownish spots upon them, and in consequence of it's marked prefer ence for furs. 1t Is known to science as tinea pellionella. Words.

The friend. John Cobb, used persuasive eIoquence, and Corbett be- came interested. He sought counsel of Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston copper king, who, after looking over the ground advised Corbett to take a mining expert of Mir. Lawsons' and lookaover tlles property. When seen yesterday Corbett said ssYes.

 A call will soon be issued for candi- dates for the High school baseball team. From present indications, a first class team ought to represent the local school during the present season inas- much as the probable candidates are a huskey lot of youngsters. Among them though, may be found a few sea soned veterans who will be of consid- erable value in coaching the young bloods. A few of last, years players remain Among them are Captain Byrnes, Matts Brynes, Professor Cur ley, Joseph Brennan John Sullivan and Charlie Connor. Then ther will be Tn addition Maurice Culhane. Joe McDon- aid. George Sullivan John Butterly and Hartnett. There will be a number Of other candidates.
 Manager Murray is busily engaged in arranging games. A few have al- ready been agreed upon. On April 24, a game will be played with Ansonia in Ansonia. on May .15, the local boys will play in Pomfret and on May IS in Torrington. Torrington comes here April 9. On May 3, the day before the opening of the state lea glie season, the Waterbury league team and the High school nine will face each other. A number. of other games are contemplat- ed with Naugatuck. Winsted, Betts academy and New Britain. The Hol- yoke High school wants to play here and the treasury of the Bridgeport High would not warrant game with the local team in that city.
 As in every other high school, the spirit of athletics is considerably dampened by lack of funds. There is little money in the local treasury. Plans are being considered by which to raise some. Tn all probability an enr tertainment will shortly be given which. 1t Is hoped, will be largely at. tended. N
