Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Sir Joshua Reynolds once forgot
the existence of one of his pictures.
Edmund Burke obtained a very ear
ly work and called on the great art
list, submitting the work as that Of
a young student who sought advice
from the master. Reynolds had "A
long look and then asked, SIS the
painter friend of yours Burke
replied in the affirmative. "Well,
replied the great man, + really
don't feel able to give an opinion:
It's cleverish thing, but whcthcr it
is of sufficient promise to justify the
young man in adopting art as a pro-
fession | cannot say" Sir Joshua
had entirely forgotten his own work.

HOW THE BOYS GOT COAL

The Boston and Maine railroad
have recently found out how they
have been losing considerable coal
from trains that pass Though Hoo
sick Falls.
Several boys would get on trains
bound west at Buskirks, five miles
away if the train was going slow
enough, they jumped off. If NOV
ing too fast they would set the
brakes and then jump. They then
walked to Eagle Bridge and there
board coal cars coming to H"osick
Falls Between the two places the
boys put large chunks of coal on the
edge of the cars and at tloosick
Falls they are pushed off and latet
gathered up. If the train is going
too fast there they apply the brakes
again and leave after the train has
slowed down. This has been done
a number of times.

"What time Of night was it,"
asked the judge, ''when you heard
the pistol shot?'
"Between 1870 and 3" replied the
witness.
"IIave you striking clock in the

"No."
"You say you had retired early
and the room was dark"
"Yes."
"Then how do you know what
time it was ?"

"A saloon closed may not be "a
saloon" And saloon is not saloon
when there isn't any. The matter
seems to trouble some of its readers,
but that is not the question upon
. which we vote next Tuesday. The
state votes "yes" or "no' on the
question whether the individual
towns shall or not make their own
liquor laws. a "yes" vote gives
them the right, beginning in March,
to say whether they shall have pro-
hibition or not, in short, to regulate
the business in the way that best
pleases them and proves most sat
isfactory. A new liquor law is de-
manded after fifty years of prohibit
ton. The measure upon which the
state votes next Tuesday is not by
any means perfect, but it is 4 be-
ginning, and we must first get rid
of the old law before we can try
anything else, expert and tina ~
unite on something satisfactory to
all the people,.

Here is some testimony as to the
workings of the local option law in
Massachusetts from w. Murray
Crane, who has three times been
governor of the Bay state. 1t is
quite as reliable and convincing as
any of the utterances OF the Pro-
hibition stump orators:
81 have not changed the opinion
expressed in my messages on the
libuor traffic as regulated in Mas
sachusetts. see no reason for re-
modelling our liquor law, as local
option appeals to the conservative
element Of our people. The situa-
ton as to the conduct of the liquor
traffic is gradually growing better"

FIRE AT BURLINGTON

The Armory, or rink building, at
Burlington, was burned to the
ground Sunday morning and the
new brick front which was pa TALLY
completed was greatly damaged,
entailing a loss estimated at $2S, 900.
The cause Of the fire is unknown
but is supposed to be due to sponta-

Where Rosewood Gets its Name.

Many people suppose that rose
wood takes its name from its color,
but this is a mistake. Rosewood is
not red nor yellow, but almost
black. Its name comes from the
fact that when first cut it eXhales a
perfume similar to that of the rose,
and although the dried rosewood of
commerce retains no trace Of this
early perfume the name fingers as u
relic of the early history of the
wood.

ATTACHMENTS STRIKE.

Parties Interested Refuse to Discuss
 the Situation-Everything Quiet Over
 Sunday.
 Everything was quiet in the railroad yards yesterday. Exactly what action tending toward a settlement is being made cannot be learned, as all those who are conversant with the exact sit uation refuse to make any statement. It is believed that there will be some sort of a conference held to-day, al- though nothing authentic could be learned. It was stated that the men would work in individual squads to- day, each squad being under the direc- tion of foreman. The strikers held a meeting yesterday, but refused to dis close what they proposed to do or what was done at the meeting.
 The Consolidated railroad trackmen completed the organization of the New Haven lodge of trackmen yesterday in this city.
 A second conference was held with Roadmaster Parrtelo on Saturday af- ternoon, but it is stated that he form ed the men that he could do nothing for them other than to consider their ap- | lications to return, as individuals, at the old rate of pay. The police will again go on duty in the yards to-day.
