The Review of Reviews for August.

The Review of Rerle for August

sketch by Mr.. A. Maurice Low, a
writer whose acquaintance with Brit

such subject. Mr.. W. L. Stead re-

Fire at Vergennes.

Elre at tergenneS.
The National Horse Nail companv,s
plant at Vergennes was totally de-
stroyed by fire last week. Although
the fire companies responded quickly
to the call their efforts to extinguish
the flames were unavailing. The fire
is reported to have originated near
the furnace in the boiler room. The
National Horse Nail company is one
of the leading industries of Vergennes
and had a capacity of employment
Tor about 100 men, girls, and boys
although not quite that number were
employed at the time of the fire. 1t
is impossible at this time to estimate
the loss but it is thought that the
company's loss in machinery and stock
will be $4,000 with an insurance of
$4,000
Shot BY His Brother.
A fatal and mysterious, but proba-
bly, accidental shooting affair took
place at South Londonderry Sunday
morning, Oct. 26, when Clifford John
son, IA years old, was shot by his
brother Melvin, two years older. The
boys were called at O'Clock to go to
the creamery. While the father was
harnessing, the attention of the
mother was attracted by a strange
sound in chamber. She asked what
the sound was, and received a salts
factory answer from the older boy.
A fewEminutes later, after the older
boy had left the house going to a
neighbours, Mrs. johnson found Cliff
ford lying in bed with bullet hole in
his temple. He died without being
able to disclose the cause of the
shooting. Search was made for Mel
vim by large force of men. The bows
had set traps this summer and have
had revolver which, John F. John
son, had when member of the Som
ervllle, Mass, police force. The boys
have been .entirely friendly, and no
one supposes that the shooting was
other than accidental. 1t is thought
the older boy ran away because he
was frightened. Monday morning
the missing boy was found in Man
chester, twelve miles from home. He
claims that the shooting was acci-
dental. An inquest was held at the
johnson house Monday night. The
testimony of Melvin Johnson and his
was taken and the decision
reached that the shooting was acci-
dental. At the inquest Melvin John
sons story was that in joking, he told
his brother to get out of bed or he
would shoot him. Thereupon he
snapped the revolver, supposing the
chamber empty. When he realized that
he had shot his brother he was seized |
with fright, jumped from the second
story window and ran, throwing away
the revolver as he went. The boy has
been released and the town author
tiles will take no further action in the
case.

Yes, the Times is for prohibition Just
as strongly as ever, but the license
crowd have the floor just at present.
A majority of the members of
the present legislature are
pledged to enact some sort of
license law with referendum attach
ment. After they have made their
promise good and the license law
comes up before the people for accept
ance or rejection-then the prohibi-
tionists will have their session. We
do not believe that any license bill
which can be passed will stand the
chilling blasts of Vermont winter
There is no doubt but that a license
law or most any old thing in the way
of a rum measure would have gone
through with whoop a month or so
ago, but we believe that the tide is
turning. The steady going, sober
element of our population are stop
ping to count the cost, and by the
time the license bill comes before the
people the enthusiasm will have died
out and the hard-headed farmers of
Vermont will have reconsidered their
purpose to vote for the saloon, which,
under any law, is public nuisance, a
robber of the home, and manufac-
turer of drunkards and criminals

THE REFERENDUM.

The legislature is being besieged
with petitions from every quarter
asking that the probibitory law be
maintained and further requesting
that in case high license measure is
passed the ladies be given the privi-
ege of voting on the question of its
acceptance. The conditions are such
that these petitions can have but little
influence in shaping legislation on the
temperance question. When a petit
ion is sent which is signed by a
majority of the voters of a town it
must influence the vote of the repre-
tentative from that town, but If the
hames of only aIsmall per cent. of his
constituency appear then it's power
will be lost there.
There has been a great change in
he sentiment of the people since the
doption of the state platform in June.
t that time many of the friends of
be present law felt that they were
OF bound.by the action of their rep
esentatives in the convention and
bat it was the duty of the party to
epudiate that part of the platform

those who advocated this repudia-
