five stores in Zurich selling Massachusetts

had an interesting chat as to American
trade the other day with Consul Lieber-
knecht at Zurich. Mr.. Lieberknecht is a
we'll known country editor of Geneseo, ILL.,,
who was appointed by President Mckinley
to represent us at Zurich. He is a good
business man and is full of common sense
views of Switzerland and the Swiss. Said
he:
"Our people do not understand the Swiss
nor their wants. They think they are long
ing for American goods and that they will
snap at them. They do not realize that
this is one of the oldest markets of Europe
and hat people lived here very comfort
ably long before America was discovered.

store buildings are still filled with all the
necessaries and luxuries that the Swiss
need or want. If we would sell goods here
we must show the Swiss that our goods
are better than those they are buying. The
people must see the goods and handle them.
They won't buy without they know what
they are getting.
lou exporting firms should study the
Swiss and If necessary modify their goods
to suit the demand. They should have
supply houses at Zurich, which could feed
the stores of the villages and smaller places
as well as those OF Zurich. This is a small
country and the people live largely from
hand to mouth. In many of the stores al
most the whole stock is kept in the show
windows and the merchants will not lay in
a large amount at one time.
"The Americans need their agents on

Speed is Costly

Boston Globe: They tell great things
about the speed of the ocean greyhounds,
but omit to say that speed costs as does
every other luxury. They expect to drive
Kaiser Wilhelm II twenty-four knots an
hour, but it will take an expenditure of
40 1000 horsepower to do it, whereas IA, 900
horsepower will drive Cedric, the largest
ship in the world, seventeen knots.
Every additional pound of steam means
more coal, more hands and more ex-
pense in every direction, until the in
creased speed is soon forbidden by the in
creased cost.
An attempt to drive either a ship or a
man too fast soon costs more than it is
worth. Why not take it easy?

HALF COMPLY WITH The LAW
Board of Education Will Put Up One Fire
Escape in Each of It's Big Buildings.
LACK OF FUNDS PREVENTS DOING MORE
Property Owners show n Dis
position to Put Up Fire Escapes
Where the Law Re-
quIres Them.

Owing to lack Of funds the Washington
avenue, Bloomer and High school buildings
will not be equipped this year with the
number Of fire escapes as required under
the new state law. The Board Of Educa-
ton has effected a compromise with Fire
Chief Templeton and has arranged to erect
one escape on each Of the three school
buildings before the end Of the year.
The committee on buildings and grounds
Of the Board Of Education met with Chief
Templeton yesterday and 1t is was decided
that one escape be placed this year at the
north end of the washington avenue school
and that another be erected next year either
on the south or west side of the building.
At the Bloomer school one escape will be
erected this year on the east side and next
year another on the west side. At the new
High school one escape will be placed this
year at the south end OF the building and
one at the north end next year.
The matter will be brought before the
meeting Of the Board Of Education next
Tuesday night, when the committee on
buildings and grounds will recommend that
a contract for the erection OF the escapes
on the three buildings be entered into at
once.
Except in one or two instances Chief
Templeton states that owners Of buildings
needing fire escapes are complying readily
with the new state Jaw. Up to date, how
ever, the owner Of the opera house block
has made no move to comply with the law
or take any eognizance Of the notice served
on him. The owner of the building has
sixty days from the service Of the notice to
comply with the law and at the expiration
Of that time any owner of a building which
comes within the provisions of the law and
who has failed to make arrangements for
erecting the necessary fire escapes will be
brought into court. The law is specific on
this point and Chief Templeton has no al
Tentative in the matter.
