THE ONLY WAY TO FIGHT WOMEN
A Suggestion to Play the Hove on
Them.


To fight a woman Is one Of the most
difficult Of all propositions. Her
strength Is in her weakness. Hence 1t
comes about that when the brawny
wife of a brawny striker hurls herself
into the field and belabors the non
union citizen with bed Stats and ham,
mers, and from the point of vantage
of an attic window tosses paving stones
against his Uranium, 1t Is q bold man,
indeed, who will go out and object and
a boIder one who tries to stay the deso-
lating energies of the Amazon by any
exhibit Of personal prowess. The fierc-
est warriors in the strikes are the wo-
men. In the mobs of Paris 1t was the
women who stirred up the most devil
try-the petroleuses, II history reads
Alright. And now in Pennsylvania 1t Is
the big-fisted, hard-muscled wives and
sisters Of the laborers who are held In
greatest dread.
You cannot find men who will go ou,
to fight these women with weapons and
hands, and the women know it, and
grow more pernicious in that conf
dence. You cannot approach them with
writs and summonses. because they
will destroy you on the way. They
care neither for police, detectives, con-
stabulary nor militia. They see merely
a number of non-union workmen, who
are to be removed from the earth, and
they enter on the process Of removal
with enthusiasm. The right Of free
American to work Is supposed to exist
under the constitution, but the consti-
tuition does not work in Pennsylvania.
| What Is to be done? The only thing
that suggests itself Is the Russian
method Of dealing with mobs, namely
to play the hose on them. A fire en-
CINE. or a hose connected with mine
pump. has a moral effect as great az
that of a company Of soldiers. Mer
and women will do and dare in the face
of an infantry fire, but against
stream Of cold water they literally liz
down. It is to be remembered tha'
many Of these people are of races tha'
never wash, and water is therefore
thing of mystery and terror. To have
it hurled into their very midst, anc
splashed into their eyes and ears, te
have 1t obstruct speech and breathing
to have it destroy all grace Of dress ant
millinery, and reduce the subject to
nondescript whose gown clings about
her like a bathing suit, is a shocking
experience. Nobody is a hero opposite
the muzzle of a fire hose.-Brooklyr
Eagle.

WESTFORD CAUCUS.

The caucus to elect delegates to the
republican convention in Montpelier,
June 10, held at Westford Saturday
evening, was largely attended and a
great deal of interest in the result was
shown. Westford is the birthplace of
Fletcher d. Proctors wife and the
family being an influential one in this
place the Proctor element put up a
strong fight with the expectation of
electing Proctor delegation In adj
dition to their home talent. George
Robinson, Fletcher D. Proctor S
brother-in-law, of the Vermont Mar
bic company, was in town during
the day and took an active part in the
canvass. The Mccullough delegates
received 1873 votes and the Proctor
ticket fiftyeight, plurality of sew
enty for Mccullough.
Thus far nineteen Mccullough and
four Proctor delegates have been elect
ed to the State, convention, with the
prospect that the four Proctor dele
gates from Essex will be contested

TEXAS CYCLONE.

Houstonn, Tex, May S.-A spe-

O'Clock this afternoon tornado struck
the historic town of Goliad and left
death and desolation in its pathway,
beyond the power of pen to portray.
The tornado was preceded by a
heavy hail storm and deep rumbling
sound but no one had any premonition
of the disaster and there was no OPP
portunity for escape and the cyclone
passed in a few moments.
The section which has suffered
most was the residence portion, the
lower part being the negro settlement,
while the upper part contained many
fine residences.
The Methodist and Baptist churches
and the Baptist parsonage, both new,
and the Negro Methodist church,
were destroyed. The Episcopal church
was badly damaged and fully 100
houses were totally destroyed A
stone residence was the only building

An esteemed correspondent near the
publication office of the Herald and
News calls attention to this clause
in recent editorial article on the
governorship; No paid agents or
workers for Proctor are traversing
the State. None are employed in
their own towns " Our friend is
scandalized by this broad statement.
He wants to know if the voters of
Orange county are fooled by such a
screaming falsehood? Only such as
want to be fooled or prefer to be fool

sole stock in trade of the Proctor cam

This coach is an old resident having
been purchased in 1851 of Abbott 81
Downing of Concord, N. H., by
George s. Johnson, the local livery
man of that day, and run for years as
a village conveyance. 1t was handed
down from one Montpelier livery

For several years it was abandoned
and was kept beneath Mr.. Adams

the notion of renovating it and again
placing 1T in commission. Looking at
the handsome and comfortable vehicle
today one would never suspect it to be
the same old dilapidated, mouldy,

Mr.. Guptil's artistic touch and skill.
