VERMONT FIRES.

The house and barn Of Frank Pero
on Woodward hill in Waterbury were
burned last week Mr.. Pero was at
work on the farm when he discovered
the fire. He rushed into the barn to
save his horse and then to the house,
where his wife and child were asleep.
They were nearly sutfocated before be-
ing rescued. A son, six years old, fol-
lowed his father into the barn and was
not missed until the barn fell, when his
half burned body rolled out.
A fire was started in Mortified, Aug.
q, by Ed. Barr's three-year-old boy.
He found some matches and crawled
under bed to play with them. This
resulted in firing the bed and before
the flames were put out the bed, some
wearing apparel and lace curtains
were damaged or destroyed. The loss
was small. The boy was terrified at
the result of his play and after the ex-
citement was over he was found hiding
under some tomato plants in the gar
den.

ter, Secretary of State F.T. Fleetwood,
II. c. Akley, II. G.. Thomas and c. L.
Mcmahon.
The exercises commenced at 9

out Mr.. Thomas idea at a cost of $780,
600, which he has done.

high and the interior is finished in
Vermont marble. On the lower floor
are the offices of the selectmen and
town clerk, a library and reading
room and the vaults, built of white
enameled brick with steel doors. On
the upper floor is a theater with a seat
ing capacity OF 600.
II. G. Akley is a native OF Stowe,
but lett the town many years ago. He
served through the war In the I'd
Michigan regiment and then went TO
Minnesota, where he laid the tounda-
ton of his great fortune in the lumber
business. lie has been identified with
many of the financial interests OF Min
neapolis and was for several years
president of the Flour City National
bank. He takes a great interest in
educational and benevolent objects and
few years ago gave two school build
ings to the Episcopal church OF Grand
Haven.

StarchfnS.

One of the secrets Of perfectly laun-
dered garmentsis in the starching. AL
ways turn garments wrong side out be-
fore putting them in the starch, rub
and clap the starch we'll through, but
do, not let bit Of it run upon the right
side. Thin materials should not be
starched at all, but should be dipped
into gum water made of white gum
arabic. Especial care should be taken
in sprinkling such garments, as they
cannot stand the drenching which
thicker materials are often treated to.
