He Enjoyed The Joke.

The editor of the Fowler. Ind,

that has serious side in spite of the
humorous way in which it is pre-
scented -
About once a week the printer of

age some way to make both ends
meet. Not ing since a merchant
came to US and IT qnested US to print
some very touching resoluti ons about
Rev. TRULY, written by our dear
friend, Banker D 4gue; the resolutions
were printed. The merchant thanked
us very sweetly for doing so. A month
or so afterwards he wanted an extra
copy of the Leader to send to Rev.
TRULY. 1t took an hour to find the
missing number, the merchant was
under many obligations to US for the
trouble. A short time ago he came
to the Office just as the paper was 60
ing to press. H. wanted to announce
that Brother Buchanan would be here
next Lords Day to preach A form
was unlocked and the item inserted.
The paper was delayed about fifteen
minutes. Again we were thanked
very sweetIy. Yesterday we wanted
a darning needle and the merchant
charged US a cent for it, and that was
business. We could tell a hundred
stories like that. If there was any
business about us we would get mad
and swear. But there is no business
about us, so we don't care, and rath-
er enioy the Joke on u.s."

New Managers OF Industrial School.

Tuesday of last week Mr.. and Mrs.
s. A. Andrews gave up their position
as superintendent and matron of the
Industrial school, Vergennes, Offices
that they have filled satisfactorily to
the interests of the institution for
nearly fourteen years. Mr.. and Mrs
Andrews assumed control of the
school in February, 1889. During
the time they have been in charge of
the institution 900 boys and girls
have been under their supervision.
Various changes have taken place
during their term of Office, the most
important and beneficial ones being
the modern replumbing of the build
ings. the installment of an entire
steam plant, the substitution of cleo
trio lights for gasoline gas, and the
introduction of the Lloyd system of
manual training. During these years
the agricultural department has been
enlarged by the addition of about IS
acres of land and the farm brought
to high tie of cultivation by the
practical knowledge of Mr.. Andrews
and his capable assistants. In con-
nection with this department a choice
herd of Ayrshire cows has been bred.
The past spring a cottage has been
built and equipped, which accommo-
dates thirty of the smaller boys that
is conceded by those Juveniles as a
step in the right direction, as this
class of the inmates is separated from
the older and more hardened mem
bers of the school and better results
morally can be obtained among these
younger wards of the state.
MIR. and Mrs. Andrews will return
to their old home in Johnson about
the first of O October, they having con-
sented to remain at the Industrial
school until that time.
The successors of Mr.. and Mrs. An
drews are Mr.. and Mrs. E. l.. Ingalls,
of Hyde Park. Mr. Ingalls, is a native
of Berkshire, where he attended the
common school and afterward the
johnson Normal School, class of 80.
From there he attended the Edmunds
High School of Burlington. class of
'92 and then entered the University
of Vermont, being graduated in the
class of 80. For the past six years
he has been principal of Lamoille Cen
trail Academy, Hyde Park. He has
also for several years held the office
of county examiner of teachers. Mrs.
Ingalls, is graduate of Derby Acad-
england attended Boston University,
where she did special work. For the
past three years she has been Mr.. In.
CALLS assistant in the academy at

L. l.. Lain of Westtown Describes the Big
Lumber and Single Mills-output
Shipped to Middle West.
Whatcom, WASH, Aug. 22.-The
largest sawmill east of the Cascades
is on the sound near Seattle. The
capacity of this mill is about 500,-
900 feet every ten hours. Here they
can saw logs IT'S feet long and IL
feet in diameter. The mill next in
size is on the bay at Whatcom.. 1t is
over 800 feet long, has sets OF saws
on each side and can saw log 135
long and 10 feet in diameter. 1t
stands on piles over the bay, the
land end standing alongside the
wharf The output OF the mill is
about 100000 feet a day.
Tue logs are drawn upon an incline
to the second story by an endless
chain by heavy machinery. la fact,
everything is done by machinery; SO
the men in the mill have no heavy
work. Every time the two large cir
Gle saws, one above the other, run
through the log the lumber drops over
on rollers and is carried to gang saws.
Here it is cut to any desired width.
From these saws it passes to the low
er end, out on a large platfrom, and
from there it is let down TO the wharf
by long, heavy swing beam.
There are generally three vessels
being loaded at the same time and
their carrying capacity is from l ,0OO,-
900 to 3 100000 feet. A schooner
came in to be loaded with large tim
Der from Hong Kong, as | saw the
order will give it to the News read
ers. 1t called for l $50 sticks of tim
Der, one half to beS5 ieet long, 15x15
inches. While they were loading the
schooner | went on board and saw
them stow it away. AS there are sew
eral sawmills here on the bay and at
Fairhaven the News readers can have
some idea of the magnitude OF the
lumber interest here.
SINGLE MILLS.
: 1t would be hard to form a correct
idea of the number OF shingle mills
there are along the bay and in the
country, but their output is way up
in the millions every day. The larg-
est one is at Fairhaven. Perhaps
there is no shingle mill in the state
that is as large and as well equipped.
| went down to the mill a few days
ago, and one of the owners very kind
ly sent his foreman to show me all
through the plant. | saw the single
mills, the sawmills, the drying houses,
the planning mills, the box factory
mill, mills for other purposes and the
blacksmith shop. The plant covers
several acres, and turns out $50, 900
shingles and 100000 feet of lumber
a day. The pay roll is $50 an hour
or $500 for ten hours.
The larger portion of the shingles
are shipped to the Middle West. Most
of the logs used here in the mills are
brought in on cars made expressly
for the business. Iasked a logging
car boy the size OF the largest trees,
and he said from each tree about 81, )
900 feet was cut. L L

Murdered in Lexington By Bur-
glars.

On Saturday morning at $3.50
O'Clock two burglars gained ad-
mittance to the residence of A. b.
Chinn, on Maxwell street, in Lex
ington, by raising window which
had been lowered for ventilation.
This was in the room occupied by
Mrs Chinn's aged mother. They
went to the room occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Chinn, who were awaken
ed by the striking of a match by
the intruders. They demanded
money, Mr.. Chinn said there was
none. Asa Chinn, a son "a years old
was attracted by the noise and the
threats of the robbers, who had
ordered his parents to keep still.
He fired through the half open
door Then one of the robbers
who had covered Mr.. Chinn with
his revolver fired the ball entered
his breast, piercing the heart.
They fled to the hall, where they
met Asa, and fight followed, re-
sulting in his receiving three pistol
wounds, one breaking his jaw,
one in the neck and one in the arm.
The father did not fall till he en-
tered the hall, where he died. Mr..
Chinn was sixty eight years old, a
deacon of Central Christian church.
SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
Two young men were arrested
on Saturday in a freight car in
Lexington under suspicious cir
cumstances. These prove to be
Earl Whitney and Claude O'Brien,
aged about eighteen years, of
Nashville, who fed from that city
ten days before, having committed
burglary.
Whitney had been shot in the
knee and the bullet extracted cor
responds with the bullets fired
from Asa Chinn's pistol during the
fight in the hall. Other facts lead
to the belief that the guilty par
ties have been arrested.
Asa Chinn's wounds are not re-
garded as dangerous.
