The following, taken from the Kan

NAV be of special interest to some of
our readers, who were well acquainted
with Rev. DR.. Charles Nj. Sheldon,
while pastor of the Congregational
church, in Waterbury, some years ago.

"that i amt got any money to pay

BARRE.

An agreement between the mer-
chants and clerks of this city which
has been under discussion for some
time was signed on Monday. BY
it's terms the stores will close at 6
O'Clock each night in the week except
Monday and Saturday. Instead of
remaining open during the first four
or five evenings of the month as here
tofore, the 9th and 10Th of each
month will be open nights. This
change was occasioned by the adoption
Of semi weekly pay days under the
new granite agreement. The clerks
are to have one whole day in August

Field Day. " Provisions governing
holidays are included in the agree
ment.
Barre made no mistake in choosing
an editor 70 chairman of the license
board. This was proven Saturday
afternoon when F. E. Langley of the

enough to make scoop of another
kind. Without assistance of any kind
he made a raid on place Oh Main
street kept by E. B. Smith. known to
hi; friends as "Comrade'' Smith,
and seized two gallons of whiskey.
The whiskey was found in a peculiar
! hiding place. The back door of the
store opens out over the river, which
runs through the center of the city.
Suspended over the river in position
where searchers would hardly be
likely to look, the whiskey was found.
1t was seized from the back door of
the nex5 store, and just in time as
Smith grabbed it from his store just
as the commissioner seized it from
the adjoining backdoor. The whiskey
was in milk can. and has been pro-
nounced to be the real stuff
Not being vested with authority TO
make a search, Commissioner Langley
held the stuff until the arrival of the
chief Of police. While waiting for
the officer, Smith decamped and has
not been located since. However,
the officer arrested Herbert Colby,
who was found in the place and who
is said to be one OF the keepers
Colby was in city court on Satur-
day evening and was arraigned on the
charge of keeping. He pleaded not
guilty and was held in $500 bonds
which was furnished by Thomas Suit

According to Consul General Mason,
at Berlin. the trailing clouds of black
smoke from mill and factory that hang
over SO many American cities, darken-
ing the atmosphere and befouling the
buildings, could be eliminated if the
scientific methods Of constructing chin
neys and stocking furnaces that prevail
in Germany were adopted here. 1T is
not every Swapping laborer who can
shovel coal who is permitted to stoke
a boiler furnace in Germany" says Mr..
Mason. "The stoker in that country
must learn the theory and practice of
economical firing. whereby the coal is
so distributed owe the crate surface as
to secure the most perfect combustion.
The use Of fuel briquettes for domestic
purposes in Berlin also tends largely to

The Rotation of Uranus.

Everybody who takes an interest In
astronomy is aware that the two outer
most planets Of the solar system, IRA
nus and Neptune, are believed to rotate
backward; that is, in a direction con-
trary to the rotation Of all the other
members Of the system. But the evil
dence that they do thus rotate is indi-
rect; such, for instance. as the fact that
their satellites revolve backward in
their orbits. Recently. however, Henri
Deslandres of the Meudon observatory
has applied a method of determining
the direction of rotation by spectre.
scopic observation. which gives direct
evidence that in the cas- Of Uranus at
least the rotation is really backward.
The method is based OF the inclination
of the lines in the spectrum Of a ro-
tating body. and resembles that by
which a few years ago Professor Kee-
Ter demonstrated the motions of Sat
urn's rings. 1t is to be applied next to
Neptune.
