From the Montpelier JournalD

Another nail has been driven into The
coffin of the oleo fraud. The pure FOO
laws Of the State of Ohio prohibit the sale
of rolored cleo. They also prohibit -.
sale of imitation butter except under it
true name. Suit WAS brought against the
Capital City Dairy company, which was
charged with violating these food laws
Proof was offered that this company used
Coloring matter and that II violated the
laws in other ways. The company claim
ed that the oleo laws were unconsti IL
tional, and that they "interfered with tn
natural right to conduct legitimate bus
mess" The Ohio Supreme Court decided
against the company and now tho
United States Supreme Court has up
held this decision. This will greatly help
the cause of honest butter. one So-callol
argument OF the oleo men has been the as
sertion that the Tawncy bill is intended
to ruin a legitimate industry. The an
swer to this is that the coloring of olco
so that ii will resemble butter is not a
legitimate business. and this decision Of
the Supreme Court fully sustains this an
SWer.

contempt. Driscoll was n juror In the
South Danvers bank case, and he disquaIi-
fled himself by reporting for duty I'm the

the beginning with another jury means
an expense of $50 600 to the two sd T.
Judge Lowelrs salutary action Is In strih-
ing contrast with the action of Judge
Munson when the Lamoille County Court
was in session last June. The Morrisvile
Messenger charged that one juror was
furnished with 30 buttles of beer from the
town agency, and alleged that some of the
jurors were seriously under the influence
OF liquor while in the court room, and
that at night they INDUCED in riotous de-
hatchery. But the expected proceedings
in contempt in Lamoille county never

WILLEMSTAD, ISLAND OF CURACOA
ian. .4-In spite of the protests made by
the French Consul here, President Castro
has sustained the action of tho Venezuelan
authorities at La Guaira, who refused to
permit NJ. Sccrestat, Jr., of Bordeaux, to
land, although the Government had pre-
yiously assured the consul that the tray
eler might debark.
it is held by the authorities that while
the French line steamer st. Laurent, on
which NJ Secrestat was a passenger, was
at Fort DeF'rance, Island of Martinique,
II at the Island Of Trinidad, he conferred
With General Matos, the revolutionary
leader The consul made inquiries on the
subject which established the fact that
General Matos was not at Martinique or
at Trinidad when the St Laurent touched
at those islands.
1t is claimed that this incident makes it
necessary for the Grench Government
TO take the steps necessary co cause
french citizens to be respected. and 1t is
believed that the French cruisers Tagc
and Suchet. now at Fort DeFrance, VIII
receive orders TO so to La Guaira.

FIRES AT THREE
SCHOOL HOUSES
Origin in Each Case is a Mys.
tery-Damage is
Small.

Fire was discovered in three school
buildings in Richmond yesterday. III
each case the damage was slight 1t -
not known how either fro originated
These fires are about as mysterious as
as many others that have recently oc-
Cured.
A short while before the opening OF tho
Elba School yesterday morning the jan
itor, George Bender, discovered fire ac
tho rear basement door. 1t was In IL
trash box, and had eaten its way into
the door and within Il few minutes would
have had the building in it's grasp Water
ut hand was used and the alarm turned
in. Prompt work cut the fire OFT before
more than SO damages was done.
There were evidences of the fire havtn::
been started by an incendidry. and the
case is being worked up.
Considerable excitement was occasloned
at the new Mechanics Institute BUILDING
at Eleventh and BROAD Streets at i:S3
O'Clock yesterday by the discovery of q
flame in tho wall behind the switchboard
that is located in the main hall, the wires
from which extend through the building.
There was some smoke. too, and tho
alarm was sent out. Hose wagon No. j
responded, and the fire was put out be-
fore it had done much damage. The fire
is believed to have been caused by a. wiro
that had been injured some way in con-
structiou.
At $40 o'clock the fence in tho rear OF
the High School building, on Marshall
Street near Eighth, was discovered on
fire There was no obvious cause for
such a fire. and it is the suspicion OF tho
tiremen that some mischievous yourSster
set the fence on fire. The damage was
Insignificant.
The large number of fires with s,is
piCious and mysterious origins is perpleS-
ing the Fire Department and every effort
is being made by that department and
the police TO detect the incendiary or
incendiaries, if there be any. Everything
points to the existence of an iucendiary.
for within a week there have been at
least six small fires, all of uncertain ori-
gin. Fortuna tely in neither case has
there been any great loss, but such was
averteG by prompt work on the part OF
the Fire Department.
The superintendent of the Fire Alarm
Department Mr.. w. Fl. Thompson, urges
all citizens to use the utmost care In
protecting their property. See that oil
and gas are used with discretion. and
have the electric wires carefully exam
ined. BY using such care, he says. fires
may be kept down 20 Il minimum. "Anoth-
or thing / Woulu urge upon the citizens.
he said, is to learn how to operate %
fire alarm box. so that when it becomes
necessary to turn in an alarm no time
may be lost. Learn where the nearest
box is located and find our where tho
KEY may be found and valuable time can
be saved when a. Ere is discovered Don t
wait until a fire breaks out to locate 2
box, but famili;lriZe yourself now.
