A WEAVER OF FINE FABRICS.
Something About Brattieboro- Crafts
woman.

Miss Marie Dyker Swedish weaver
and spinner and an associate member
of several arts and crafts societies OF
America, lives in a modest house or
Chestnut street in Brattleboro. Miss
| Dyker who was taught the art OF
weaving in Sweden, came to Brattle-
boro some 10 years ago, though 1t is
only three years since she took up her
trade, with the assurance of a ready
demand for her beautiful fabrics, con-
sisting of draperies, spreads, towel
ings and dress patterns, all of which
afford to the weaver substantial in
come. One room of Miss Dyker's lit
tie home is set apart for weaving and
spinning, and here she works long
hours, in order to keep pace with the
demands, which are constantly in
creasing, for her goods. The looms
and spinners, the patterns for which
came from Sweden, were made by
Herbert w. Sargent, Brattleboro
carpenter and are most interesting in
their construction and workings. Be-
fore the loom, which is about eight
feet high and six feet square, is a
bench, ON which Miss Dyker sits while
manipulating the shuttles Miss
Dykers product of wool. linen and silk,
together with the oriental colored cot
ton comes from the old country be-
ing bleached and dyed here by the
weaver. About 16 days are required
in the making of an ordinary sized
Counterpart of pure white. Miss
Dyker is now engaged in making five
linen dresses for a Chicago woman, all
of which are of different patterns, and
of handsome design and finish Table
linen is made of the most exquisite
patterns. one piece being especially
attractive having been made from flax
raised at the weaver's old home, and
which has been in constant use for
score of years or so. One order for
dress has recently come from Color
ado, another from st. Louis, while
Miss Dyker has been invited to exhibit
her work at the Boston mechanics in
stitute. Miss Dyker has exhibited at
the Valley fair as well as at the Green
field fair, where she took prizes. Miss
Dyker's mother, now in her 18th year,
who came over from Sweden two
years ago to assist her daughter. is a
skilled spinner, though she does very
little of the weaving. Some of Brat
tleboros women accustomed to spin
ming are given employment by Miss
Dyker, and even with this assistance
she is unable to keep apace with her
orders. Miss Dyker's work has COM
mended itself to several of the promi-
nent societies which have brought her
into fellowship with the arts and
crafts societies of New York, Boston.

BrattIeboro Entitled to Licenses.

The attitude of the license commits
sioners is one of doubtful wisdom If
not legality. Brattleboro by law Is
entitled to a certain number of Ii
censes, if her people vote for license.
The people of that town voted for IL
cense and the licenses were issued
Four of the licenses have now been re-
voked and the people are entitled to
have new ones issued. II this We're
not true it would be in the power Of
any license board, for mere technical
violations. to reverse the popular vote
in any town by revoking all the Ii
censes-Burlngto News.

UTILITY OF PRAIRIE DOGS.

There are great excitement and in
dignation on the headwaters of the
MinnecaduZa creek, in Cherry county,
says the Omaha Bee, over the passage
of bill by the last Legislature de-
signed to exterminate the prairie dog
in Nebraska.
Louis Grosmentir, one of the earliest
settlers on the Minnecaduza creek, near
Georgia, Neb., has for a number of
years been training the inhabitants of
a small prairie dog town upon his
farm. AS is well known, the most
profitable crop that can be grown in
that region is alfalfa. For the great
est success in growing alfalfa two
things are necessary. First, that the
roots of the alfalfa plant shall be in
fected with a certain fungus, and Sec
ond, that the roots should be able to
pierce the soil and reach the water be-
meath. Mr.. Grosmentir made the i'm
portant discovery a few years ago that
this fungus Is propagated by the
prairie dog and carried by it in dig
ging its burrows through the earth, and
set himself to train his prairie dogs so
as to prepare the ground for alfalfa
culture. After four years of diligent
application he has perfected his sys-
tenn so that his dogs not only infect the
soil with fungus, but break through the
hard pan in numberless places, so as to
afford easy access for the alfalfa roots
to the all-important water beneath.
II has just been made known that
under the statute passed by the last
Legislature these industrious redeem
ers OF an arid region are condemned
to death. Mr. Grosmentir is taking
steps TO test the law, and for that pur-
pose will consult the most eminent
counsel in the State.

Renaissance
OF THE PLAGUE
JUDGE DE BOLT AND A JURY
CASE DATING FROM THEN.

In Judge De Bolts court this morn
ing the first of a long list of insurance
cases growing out of the Chinatown
fire was submitted to a jury. 1t was
the case of w. w. Ahana VS.. the
Insurance Company of North America
and was tried with Magoon and Bal
lou for the plaintiff and Robertson &
Wilder and Thurston for the defense,
the same counsel being i'm most of the
insurance cases.
The plaintiffs building was burned
on January IS, 1900, as infected with
plague. The insurance company
claimed exemption under the clause in
their policy which provided that they
should not be liable for damages re-
suting from the acts of any civil au-
thority. The case is different from
most of the cases in that the property
was destroyed on January 16, while
in most of the suits the damages claim
ed resulted from the big fire of January
20.
The jury came into court shortly
before noon and asked more instruc-
tions, having disagreed over the ques-
ton of whether the Ahana fire had
heen caused by the order of a civil
authority. A question had arisen in
the jury room as to whether there was
quorum of the Board of Health pre-
sent when the fire was ordered, and
whether the order was a legal one,
Judge De Bolt instructed the jury that
if they found that a meeting had beer
held of a body purporting in good
| faith to be the Board of Health and
that such body had ordered the fire
they must accept such action as an ac
of the Board of Health, also that they
had nothing to do with the legality O
the boards actions. The jury retired
again but We're still unable to agree
and were sent to the Grill for lunch.
In Judge Gears court the trial of thu
case of the Territory against NJ. c
Simoes, charged with selling liquo
without a license was Continued.

will have for nothing what others must
laboriously acquire, If we are wise and
