During the year just past, the fire
losses in Bennington village have
been less than $1,000. The village has
one of the best departments in the
state and to this is due in some degree
our freedom from fire but any depart
ment would be powerless to check a
big fire when it is allowed to get the
start that it is here just as long as our
present antiquated system Of provid-
ing keys for the alarm boxes is kept
up. Somebody will lose hundred
thousand dollars or so one Of these
days that might just as we'll be saved
by the expenditure OF few dollars for
glass front key boxes.

ton. License, like the tariff, is a local
issue and there is no reason why the
prohibitionists of Orleans and Gale
donia counties should force the citi-
zens of Bennington and Rutland cour-
ties to become lawbreakers and per-
iurers because the perjury system Of
procuring spirituous liquors is most
popular in st Johnsbury and Newport.

Won BUE1ow DEFENDS KAISER.
Says he is Unprejudiced and Has
Nothing Petty in Character.

A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
Chancellor Won Buelow, replying in the
reichstag today to an assertion of Herr
Richter. the radical leader. that the country
and the crown itself were harmed by the
too frequent utterance Of Emperor William
without consulting his ministers, said:
I'm constitutional state the leading
statesmen must reckon with the individual
ity of the monarch. The stronger that indi-
viduaNty all the more is he inclined to in
fiuence the states affairs. which does not
always facilitate the statesman's official
duties; but the strongly marked individual
ity OF ruler is great advantage that can
not be underestimated. I have found many
persons abroad that longed for a monarch
Of accentuated personality. Nobody should
blind himself against the grand outlines in
the character Of our emperor. He has a
free and unprecedented mind. as I can say
without sycophancy, and there IL nothing
petty in him. Whatever you blame In him.
he is no Philistine If you wish to make at
tacks direct them against me-"
The chancellor, later, referring to the re-
marks of Herr Liebermann Won Sonenberg,
said he recommended Emperor William to
receive the Boer generals il they sought
presentation through the British ambassa-
dor. Gen. De Wet first accepted and then
changed his MIND.

RAID ON A COAL TRAIN.
Citizens of Brooklyn Suburb Over
power Trainmen to Get Fuel.

The New York Herald of today says:
Eight hundred men. women and children,
many of whose families had been without
coal all winter. captured a train Of seven
cars loaded with 40 tons Of anthracite in
Brownsville, part Of East New York, yes
terday.
Before the train could be moved away 1t
is estimated that thirty tons of coal were
carried of in bags, sacks. buckets, baskets
and hand carts by the crowd. The Long
Island railroad engine had been taken to
the freight yard. and the seven cars, in
charge OF six brakemen, armed with stout
billies. were awaiting the arrival of a
switch engine of the elevated railway, the
coal being destined for the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company.
The brakemen made fight to protect the
coal, but were swept aside and easily over
powered by the crowd, which was deter
mined not to be deprived Of the fuel. As
far as could be ascertained last night no.
body was seriously injured.
1t was the first organized raid made on
. coal train in New York, and created in
tense excitement It was freely prophesied
In East New York last night that yester-
days raid would mark the beginning Of a
series Of attacks on coal trains at this
point. which is favorable for the purpose.
Because Of the impossibility of obtaining
coal sickness Is now epidemic In the
Brownsville section. Physicians said last
night that those diseases that are largely
caused by insufficient warmth and nourish-
ment-measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria and
pneumonia-are far more prevalent this

A UNIQUE PETITION.
The Original Legal Document Filed at
Birmingham, Ala.

Il have been practicing law for many
years, and have seen many unique legal
papers on file, but the most unique 1 have
ever struck was In Birmingham. Ala. the
other day" said S. II. Jackson Of Atlanta
at the New Willard. 1.-The paper was SO
thoroughly unique and original I had the
clerk of the court make a copy for me. 1t
was a petition filed In 1891 by a man asking
to be allowed to remarry. his wife having
secured a divorce. 1t reads:
'' To the Honorable II. A Sharpe Judge Of
the city court Of Birmingham, In equity:
Your petitioner - of Mobile Ala, would
deferentially represent that on the 10th day
OF January in the year of grace 1891, your
honor dissolved the connubial ties thereto
fore existing between petitioner and his
consort. -. granting her divorce a vim
thereto annexed of marrying again, a privi-
lege which II goes without saying she avail
ed herself of with alacrity of spirit and
fastidious levity disdaining pursuit. But
on this vital point your honor extended to
petitioner only the charity of your silence.
Petitioner has found in his own expert
ence a trustful exemplification Of holy
scripture that II is not good for man to be
alone. and seeing an inviting opportunity to
second nuptfal venture, he fnds himself
circumvallated by an Ossa-Pelion obstacle
which your honor alone has the power to
remove.

and yellow leaf, the fruit and flowers Of

Meu in the Employ of Mrs. Howard
Gould Have tn Toe the Mark.
Mrs. Howard Gould assumes the role
of Overseer of the workmen employed
ut the Gould mansion from the mo-
ment they enter the house until they
drop their tools at night and depart
for home Hers is no lackadaisical in
terest in the affairs of her decorators
and carpenters, but she makes each
man step lively" in most business
like fashion. a rule that Is never
swerved from in the slightest degree
is that of enrolment. If Il man doesn't
wish to be enrolled he must go; if he
objects to being numbered there is
another to take his place. AS the av-
erage laborer is not very rebellious
when it comes to matters of this KIND,
Mrs. Gould usually finds no difficulty
in writing down the name of each man
and setting Il number opposite to it,
this number corresponding with one
on badge of blue ribbon which she
causes to he pinned to the mans coat
or suspender strap.
This done. in the first hour when
the workmen enter the house. they
take up their various branches OF
work. and the unsophisticated thinks
he is left to the sole mama cement OF
his master workman. But not so; Mrs.
Gould goes among her wOrkmel once
during the morning and surveys their
| work. with the observation of Wom-
an who may change her mind hun
pieted. Then comes the noon hour.
Ii the men are not back at work when
they should be. Mrs. Gould wants to
know the reason for the delay, and i'm
mediately inquiries into the matter
When these men work in the after
noon, Mrs. Gould is generally among
them twice. directing change here,
suggesting different pattern or some
new and fantastic idea.
Woe to the man who displeases, he
cannot stay. 1t isn't just report made
to the master workman. nor Il com
plant to the contractor. but immedl-
ate. rapid-fre action that takes place.
Mrs. Gould ranges her little force of
authority Tin the form of Mrs. Gould
herself, Il lead pencil. and Il notebook
in front of the unfortunate offender
and calling his number and name,
crosses both from the book with Il
stroke of her pencil that plainly says
"Out. damned spot and, whether 1t
be in the morning. afternoon or even
ing. that workman is discharged then
and there. and no amount of arguing
will keep him bis place. He has offend
ed and must 90.
